Any motorist wants to buy such a car so that as long as possible do not know the problems with the repair. Not interested in frequent breakdowns and manufacturers. The reliability of the brand depends on reliability. But what are they, the most reliable machines? Experts argue more than one year.
What is worth thinking about?
In principle, buying a new car, rarely a buyer asks the question: "How much does it take?" Pay attention to the equipment, color, power and other external attributes, but they are rarely interested in the engine's engine life and the main transmission units. Most often, the reliability of a brand is learned from car repair shop employees when the car becomes a "regular customer".
A group of researchers from the company JD Power Associates on the feedback of the owners made a kind of rating that called: "The most reliable machines." At once it is necessary to make a reservation that the rating was made taking into account the use of cars on normal roads, with qualified and timely maintenance, and it was also assumed that the car was driven by an adequate driver, rather than fans of extreme driving.
Rating
In the first place for a year now, the cars of the concern "Toyota" are held. To be more precise, the cars of the brand Lexus. There is nothing surprising. After all, the Japanese pay special attention to the reliability of their products. As a result, a hundred cars Lexus of different models for a year had only 86 breakages. In the testing did not participate cars that just came off the assembly line. With such indicators Lexus received the title "The most reliable car in the world". The second and third place was shared by Ford Focus and Mazda 3.
In the segment of compact crossovers the leading position was occupied by RAV4, also from the auto concern "Toyota". Slightly inferior to it Honda CR-V and FJ Cruiser, also from the company "Toyota".
The most reliable cars in the "premium" class in the ranking were lined up in the following order. Heads the top three of the Mercedes-Benz Coupe E-class. The second in terms of reliability is recognized by Nissan Z. Closes the top three winners of the "Volvo C70".
In the segment of full-size sedans, the positions are arranged as follows. The first place was given to cars "Lexus ES 358" (a sedan of a premium class). Behind him are Lincoln and Cadillac CTS.
What happened?
Despite the survey results and the rating of the international company, the German Association for Technical Control conducted its study in terms of the reliability of German machines. The title "The Most Reliable Vehicle of 2013" was awarded to Volkswagen Polo. Experts checked a number of three-year machines and came to the conclusion that it was the "Polo" that showed the least damage and defects. "Volkswagen" once again confirmed its high quality of assembly. However, the research was carried out only among German-made cars. On a global scale this year, Volkswagen has somewhat lost ground. In the nomination: "The most reliable machines in the class of compact machines," KIA Soul broke out first. For 100 cars of this brand for the year there were 169 defects, while "Polo" recorded 170. But this, so to speak, abroad. And how are things in the domestic car industry? Do not ironically smile and say that Russian cars and reliability are two concepts that stand far apart. Russian motorists enthusiasts decided to conduct their unofficial research. The results can pleasantly surprise those who, with the phrase "Russian car", contemptuously curved in a grin. UAZ "Trakol" - that he unofficially received the title: "The most reliable Russian car." Of course, "Trakol" can not 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 of all the products of Russian automotive plants, this brand can be considered the most reliable.
