According to a survey carried out by Germany's ADAC, German motorists just don't rate German cars.

Only one German brand made it into the top 10 customer satisfaction survey by Germany's largest automotive club.

Over 38,400 members of ADAC responded to the survey and the best they could do for German cars was to put Porsche at number 8 in the top ten.

BMW was placed at number 11, Audi came-in at No 26 followed by Opel at No 27 and Smart at 29.

Volkswagen was way down at 31 followed by Mercedes at 32.

Notably, Japanese brands captured the top seven rankings, led by Toyota, Subaru and Honda.

Even the low-priced Korean brands finished higher as a group than European-based brands: No. 10 Hyundai was followed by Kia at No. 16 and Daewoo at No. 19.
