At #2, they said Subaru but shows a Suzuki! Since Subaru mentioned later, I guess this is Suzuki. Looks like Toyota slipped few positions. Almost all reliability surveys show that Japanese/Koreans being most reliable. Then how come other manufacturers still doing business? Reply to this message | Report message

These Warranty Direct figures don't just look at reliability per se. They also factor in cost of repair and time off road. Privately owned cars which tend to be less abused than company motors will always fare better, which makes Ford's showing all the more impressive. Reply to this message | Report message

As we own a Honda and a Toyota... hardly surprised. Where are the "much improved" French cars? Reply to this message | Report message

You can fool a lot of idiots all of the time. (Apologies to all Renault owners: I could have said "Peugeot" instead if any consolation:-) Reply to this message | Report message

>> Tis a shame about Nissan though, they used to be okay, 'til they teamed up >> with, eh, now let me see ... ! >> The only car to ever leave me stranded at the roadside was a National Car Rentals Nissan Almera, back in 1999. Well before Renault's involvement I think ;-) Reply to this message | Report message

Chevrolet and Ford wow and no apologies for absence from the Germans? Couple of years time and Dacia will take one of the slots, then MG Rover and the people's revolution will be complete! Reply to this message | Report message

My 05 1.8 Almera was as good as gold in the 4 years I owned, boring though. I used to be a bit OCD about the timing chain and listen to it intently on every cold start. My present car has got one of those nice quiet timing belts. :-( Reply to this message | Report message

>> My 05 1.8 Almera was as good as gold in the 4 years I owned, >> boring though. I went on a CAD course years ago and had lunch in the car of another guy doing the course. A Nissan Primera. I almost fell asleep looking at the boring interior of that car. Until he got some pictures out of the glovebox of his wife in the garden. With not much on. All of a sudden I was wide awake and the Primera interior was a very interesting place to be. Reply to this message | Report message
