What country is the manufacturer of your car from?

I do not have a car, as mine officially died in March, and my girlfriend and I are just driving hers until it drops, too.  Before that, I had a German car (2009 Audi A4).  I miss it every day.   (I especially miss it because I got it 4 years used, in 2013, for just $18,000 due to some wacky California trade-in law.)

It lasted barely over a decade? Isn't that kind of really bad?

Not for an Audi, I don't think.  Plus, the problem that killed it was undiagnosed by three mechanics (likely due to a lack of knowledge about German cars, I'd imagine), so it probably could have lasted longer.  I think once I finally do buy another car, it will be a more mainstream option that will last longer, OR I will just lease a car I really like rather than buy it.
