The UK's 20 Most Reliable Cars

20. MINI One/Cooper
19. Subaru Forester
18. Vauxhall Corsa
17. Ford Focus
16. Hyundai Getz
15. Skoda Octavia
14. Audi A4
13. BMW 3 Series (Last Generation E46)
12. Subaru Impreza
11. Honda CR-V
10. Toyota Avensis
9. BMW 5 Series (Current Model)
8. Nissan Primera
7. Mazda 6
6. Toyota Corolla
5. Honda Accord (American Acura TSX)
4. Honda Jazz (Fit)
3. Toyota Yaris (Last Generation)
2. Honda Civic (Last Generation)
1. Lexus IS (Last Model)

Japanese dominate as usual, with 12/20 positions, and a completely Japanese top 8, but BMW's reliability perception is apparently undeserved, gaining position 9 and 13. Hyundai does well getting the Getz in at 16th.

Positions are based on a combination of Fleet News reliability, JD Power and Parkers' customers' experiences.

Poll after poll sees the Germans losing.

Their fans won't comment on this.

Mercedes: People who build full-size luxo-limos (S-class, 7er) perhaps, don't really pay much attention to their 0-60 times since their owners don't have any intentions of hitting the drag-strips.

nothing really 2 comment on, good for these cars/brands obviously its something they have to offer for their prices, if most cars cant achieve reliability, performance or luxury like the leading carmakers (wont mention any - just not to be biassed) atleast they can manage reliability

Where's Jag and Rover? I'm truly saddened by this.

Sells too little to be counted.
Same with RX and GS.
And also this survey is influenced by Fleet News, a publication for company car buyers, so the A4/3 series class dominate that sector. A big thirsty SUV won't be the choice vehicle for someone who needs fuel efficiency and low car tax.

Excuse me?
Lexus sells 10% of what Audi, BMW or Merc do in the UK. Too little to be surveyed properly.
And please, next time you wish to scream at me and say I'm a liar, back it up. That provided no information at all.
And European sales of 50000? Audi sells that in a month.

Oh and Dodge has increase their UK sales by 18000%.
That still doesn't mean they're doing well though.
