I guess so because I have never heard anyone complain, it's only people from the US who complain about them.
and usually the complaints are "there's barely any space to work on them!" but also Americans are way more susceptible to buying brand new cars for little to no reason. It takes a lot more to sell a big/new car to an average person in Europe.
We're probably not, I've spent a considerably long time in the US lately and the "German" cars here are entirely different in the first place. The only similarities are the rare VW Golf you see every now and then, even a Jetta is extremely weird to me. They seem to just be American cars with a German name.
