Any motorist wants to buy such a car, so that as long as possible he does not know problems with repairs. Not interested in frequent breakdowns and manufacturers. The prestige of the brand depends on reliability. However, what are they, the most reliable cars? Experts have been arguing for years.

What to think about?

In principle, when purchasing a new car, rarely does a buyer ask the question: “How long does it take?” They pay attention to the equipment, color, power and other external attributes, but they are rarely interested in the motor resource of the engine and the main transmission units. Most often, the reliability of a particular brand is learned from car workshop employees when the car becomes a “regular customer”.

A group of researchers from JD Power Associates, according to the reviews of the owners, compiled a kind of rating, which they called: "The most reliable cars." It should immediately be noted that the rating was compiled taking into account the operation of cars on normal roads, with qualified and timely maintenance, and it was also assumed that the car was driven by adequate drivers, and notlovers of extreme driving.

Rating

Cars of the concern "Toyota" have been in the first place for many years now. To be more precise, Lexus cars. There is nothing surprising. After all, the Japanese pay special attention to the reliability of their products. As a result, there were only 86 breakdowns per hundred Lexus cars of various models in a year. Cars that had just rolled off the assembly line did not take part in the testing. With such indicators, Lexus received the title of "The most reliable car in the world." Ford Focus and Mazda 3 shared the second and third places.

In the segment of compact crossovers, the RAV4, also from Toyota, has taken the leading position. The Honda CR-V and FJ Cruiser, also from Toyota, are slightly inferior to it.

The most reliable premium cars ranked in the following order. Heads the top three leaders of the Mercedes-Benz Coupe E-class. Nissan Z is recognized as the second most reliable. Volvo C70 closes the top three winners.

In the segment of full-size sedans, the positions are as follows. The first place was given to the cars "Lexus ES 358" (premium class sedan). Behind him are Lincoln and Cadillac CTS.

What happened?

Despite the results of surveys and the rating of an international company, the German Technical Control Association conducted its study in terms of the reliability of German cars. The title "The most reliable car of 2013" was received by Volkswagen Polo. The experts checked a number of three-year-old cars and came to the conclusion that it was the Polo that had the least breakdowns and defects. Volkswagen has once again confirmed its high build quality. However, studies were conducted only among German-made cars. On a global scale this year, Volkswagen has somewhat lost ground. In the nomination: "The most reliable cars in the class of compact cars" KIA Soul took the first place. There were 169 defects per 100 cars of this brand during the year, while Polo had 170. But this, so to speak, is abroad. And how are things in the domestic auto industry? You should not smile ironically and say that Russian cars and reliability are two concepts that stand far from each other. Russian car enthusiasts decided to conduct their unofficial research. The results may pleasantly surprise those who, at the phrase "Russian car", contemptuously grimaced in a smirk. UAZ "Trekol" - it was he who unofficially received the title: "The most reliable Russian car." Of course, "Trekol" cannot be called an ordinary car in the usual sense of the word. But, having collected data on the northern regions, and UAZ "Trzkol" is operated mainly there, motorists concluded that this brand can be considered the most reliable of all the products of Russian automobile plants.
