The Despatch Summer 2025

EUROPEAN CARS While most people believe that European cars are the best cars, and the most reliable, they are not Mercedes-Benz, the 2 nd least reliable car manufacturer in the world, scoring 23/100 on CarEdge. So why do people prefer European cars? Perhaps it is because of their design, history or household recognition. Audi is a German car manufacturer whose cheapest new car is £23,500. BYD’s car of a similar size is electric, and just under £8000. So why would you buy an Audi? Maybe for its name or prestige? BMW is also a German car company that also produces luxurious cars. BMW has a rich history, unlike most Chinese car brands. But does that really make the actual car better? Not really, as Chinese brands are pioneering the future technology, whereas the older brands tend just to use what they know. Rolls Royce is a well-known major luxury brand, and I can guarantee every person you ask will say this is the most luxurious car manufacturer. But is it? The Hongqis are very luxurious, but I have never sat in a Rolls Royce to compare. But can it get that much better? I mean, when you're at the top, there can't be better materials or features than the other cars, as they are already at the top. This is a quote from Rolls Royce: "Seamless motion invigorates the heart. Superior craftsmanship excites the senses".What does that even mean?
