Most and least reliable car brands revealed

:LOL:


I think most would agree, some of the cars that are reasonably priced are better quality and more reliable than the so called premium brands.
I don't think we would. I don't know anyone who would agree that a Citroën was better quality than an audi. At all

Sounds like someones jealous of people who can afford premium brands! It's always a skewed thing because premium cars simply have more things on them to go wrong. Due to their higher quality they are also my expensive to repair. I miss, badly, the build quality of my Merc, but I sacrificed it for the poorly built but spectacularly performing Tesla.
You can't afford a premium brand either Smalltown....
You've already told us your Tesla is a loaner :ROFLMAO:
 
I've owned 2 range/land rovers- from New and I've never had an issue. Admittedly I didn't have either of them past 35k.
Have 2 Mazda's and a toyota Prius ( I've done over 126k with this, amazing reliability).
When I bought my car I was watching all the better YouTube vloggers and when you read the posts underneath what the Americans think of British craftsmanship due to Range Rovers was a bit of a shock. To be honest though I think it could well be the fact that because everyone wants a Sport especially they buy high mileage ones and the trouble that comes with that.
 
The German group cars tend to designed to be more reliable and they possibly take more care about the assembly, The Japanese are similar, but the German cars were more durable in cold damp climates. French and Italian put more emphasis on style and comfort. My last 2 cars have being SEAT, the first one was very reliable (1 issue in 8 years and I know it was on the road and used a lot for 13 years) - 120k miles, the second one has had 2 problems in 6.5 years (75k miles to date).

What did they say? They still suffer from a bad reputation here. I had the Evoque when it first came out and then got a discovery sport. I think you do pay for the image to a degree. Off road they are great.. But when are you off-roading in a car like that?
 
I’d been a Saab man for most of my adult life after briefly dabbling in older BMWs when I first started driving.

For me, they were a great mix of a bit of quality, a bit of performance and a lot of quirk.

Obviously they aren’t made anymore so have subsequently moved to a Merc, which I have to say (touching wood) has been an excellent choice.

Once he started driving Mercs my dad stuck with them as they were ‘way better than anything else’ in his opinion. His last car however was a Saab and he thought it was superb.

If Saab’s were still in production I’d still be driving them. The Merc feels slightly better built but it’s not a big difference.

That said, the Merc doesn’t quite have the X factor that the Saab had.

I’m usually quite loyal to brands though so unless I have an awful experience with a Merc I would imagine I’ll stick with them.
 
Had three VWs. All ok touch wood. Had a Renault once. Jesus I could’ve merrily murdered it, was the bane of my life. When cars go wrong it really is grim.

Agree with you on Saab. I've never owned one but always think they were so solidly built and had a certain intellectual image.

It wouldn't surprise me at all. Ranger rovers are famously unreliable. As are pretty much all British cars. Except the modern ones, built by German companies or with German Parts (MINI, Rolls Royce, Bentley, Aston). Neither Britain nor India (Who own Jag Land Rover) have a reputation for quality car engineering.

Only Jaguar I even had was an X-Type a few years back, and while it looked quite smart and had a nice, well built interior, it was the worst car I had ever owned. It was effectively a diesel Ford Mondeo in a nicer dress and the engine that works usually well in the Ford was horrendous in mine. Problem after problem after problem. Hated the thing and would never touch a Jaguar again.
 
I've spent the last 7 years working for the automotive industry with a number of different brands, including JLR. There's one phrase you hear repeatedly about land/range rovers, originally coined by an Aussie journo:

If you want to go into the outback, go in a land rover. If you want to come back, go in a Toyota
