.............................................................
We brought you our list of most unreliable cars, so now it's time to uncover the most reliable cars!
That's right, we've teamed up with Warrantywise again to find out which car is the best for you to choose if you're in the market for a new set of wheels.
One thing to consider though, just like with the least reliable cars, these are mostly older generation motors that saw their manufacturer warranty run out. Either way, are you surprised by any cars on this list? Let us know in the COMMENTS!
Disclaimer: average repair costs collated over a period between 2021 and 2022. Since the sample was selected, Warrantywise has seen a significant rise in the price of labour and parts, which will impact future repair costs.

As a self employed recovery truck operator for over25 years about 85% of my business came from German cars and Range rover. People often ask which cars are the most reliable, my advice was always the same "buy Japanese".(apart from Mazda RX8). Very few people took my advice, on the bright side I was always busy. Thank you Germany!!!

@saidassimkus1133 Just traded my Skoda Octavia estate (bought because taxi drivers use them) in for a Toyota Corolla touring sports. The Skoda's fuel injectors were wearing out around 118,000 miles (legend says the engines can last up to 400,000 plus miles ?)causing the engine to idle very roughly, and I had spent £2000 to have parts of the suspension replaced to no avail, rattling again because of a failed bush. So rather than throw another couple of thousand at it I did some research for a bullet proof reliable car. The Toyota Corolla came up again and again, so I bought one. A superior car in every possible way.

Being a technician and having years of experience with mechanical breakdown insurance (extended warranties) I can say that if the cost factor is removed the results would remain the same. I love German cars for their looks, sporty build, solid feel, etc. However when working on them you do notice that certain parts are not manufactured as robust as they were previously. Up to the mid 2000's German cars were bullet proof, but it started changing when they started going eco friendly. Trying to push more power out of smaller engines, using lighter materials. This started affecting the longevity of their parts. Forget about the gadgets and electronics. I'm taking about engine and transmission internals as well as suspension parts. Remember that not all German cars have tons of electronics. The VW Polo or Up, the A class, Audi A1 and 1 series did not make it on this list. The Auris for example has equal amount of tech as a mid spec Golf and even comes in hybrid. From the French cars on this list the Renault Kangoo is powered by a Nissan engine and the Peugeot is basically an Aygo. Japanese cars are generally built to last. If you see how Japcars are abused in some countries and yet they don't give up, you would throw in the towel on this argument. We not saying that Japanese is better to drive, it's just more reliable. Despite this if I had money to throw away I would definitely drive German cars just for the thrill. Like Matt mentioned in his previous videos like these, if you want to drive a car that's not boring, make sure that you know what can go wrong and take out an extended warranty if need be . If you haven't had any major issues with your car then that's great. 👍

@@buysellbuysell4699 I don't live in America ou Europe, I live in Brazil, and the market here is really different, apparently. Here I own a manual VW Golf with a 1.0 turbocharged engine, with 125hp and 200nm of torque, I came from a CVT Honda Fit, that was sold here with a 116hp and 150nm of torque engine, an aspirated 1.5. I call the Fit "incredibly slow", because with the configuration of the market from where I live, it's 0-60mph was around 12-13s, when the Golf's 0-60mph is around 8-9s, the only Golf with better numbers than the one that you mentioned is the Golf GTI, that has a turbocharged 2.0 with only DSG gearbox, it makes the 0-60mph in about 5-6s. For more context, the last year of the manual Fit here was 2018, if I'm not wrong, and even the manual was slow, with the same engine. Here we also have a fuel called "ethanol", that usually gives more power to the engines, what's a negative point to the Fit. While the Golf gets about 10hp with the use of ethanol (in the 1.0, 1.4 and 2.0 engines), the Fit only gets 1hp.

Last year, I was in need of a car because my current was broken. I really wanted a used Honda Jazz, aka Honda Fit.

Suzuki Alto has a problem with gearbox and brake caliper carriers. If you use it for like 10 years, the gear shifting won't be smooth and you always get this problem in brake caliper carrier getting damaged. Worst part is, it's hard to find spare parts for it. One mechanic rigged me by telling me it was a problem with the engine mount rather than the brake calipers. Changed all the three for £650 and still had the same sound.
I have to agree with this #1 list. I have 2012 honda jazz ge8, and it still running like a clock. All I have to do just regular oil change every 7000 km and refil the fuel 👌

Notice the most reliable cars have very limited options with engines, suspension, brakes etc. No turbos, no fancy adjustable dampers. Makes it easier to nail down when you have 1 or 2 engines and Billy basic passive suspension and bottle top brakes.

i’m using Mazda 2 2008 for 15 years!!.it is a amazing car and very easy to drive in city.nice acceleration and nice handling.it has no repairs for past 15 years!! i love my mazda❤
Great report on what cars to buy 🚙😁👍👍.. keep up the good work..
I have a 2010 Mazda 2 Sport. I had to replace the front suspension last month but its reliability has been bulletproof aside from that.
I've got Ceed and Civic. Both were very reliable cars. I didn't notice any problem with them.
I used to own a 2014 KIA Cee'd and I never had a problem with it, even after abusing it sometimes. Just normal maintenance and that thing was never a surprise for me. I recommend it to everyone. Awesome daily.
Had a MK1 MX5, what a great little car it was, such direct handling and so reliable, nothing went wrong, just basic servicing and of course it never broke down
I'm surprised the Aygo, 106 and C1 weren't rolled into one, and the absence of the C1 (maybe there weren't enough or somehow less reliable). Anyway, Mazdas turned out more reliable than I expected

What happened to Volvo ? Although I drive an 18 year old XC70, and that has been extremely reliable apart from the angle gear coupler for the all wheel drive system, maybe the new ones are not as solid ?
Not surprised to see the Mazda 2 so high up. I run a 2018 skyactiv-g sport model as a daily. Looks great, drives very sweetly and has been faultless in the three and a half years I've had it. Owned many different cars - and driven many more - but would recommend the 2 anyday. It's fun to chuck about yet refined when you need it to be. In a world of Corsa's and Polo's the Mazda 2 is a breath of fresh air.

The Mazda 2 is such an spectacular vehicle for university student, my cousin had 2 and it just works perfectly.
I was hoping that the common problems were more related to the electrical system since there were a few that seemed to set such trend. I thought by now we had all the mechanical bits figured out and it's mostly the software that's not yet properly optimized.
Great video, but the results were quite predictable. Years ago I bought a then 13yr old Honda Accord for about £400. Had it for several years, did loads of miles, and other than tyres, didn't spend anything on it, didn't even change the oil! It just worked. Sold it for £325 when I needed something more economical.

German car makers couldn't deisgn a good car with a gun pointed to their families heads. You would think being the inventor and home of such big brands for over a century they would have gotten wide spread reliable automobiles right. I shudder to think they are attempting EVs when they failed at ICE. Anything from Europe is a absolute no go for me as well. The car brands here just suck. Ain't saying they can't ever. But the current ones? Nope.
Before people go off about high performance cars being less reliable(justifiably), the Japanese cars still dominate the top of the list(Koreans in the mix). Not like other manufacturers don't sell economy vehicles. It'd be understandable if this was still the 80s/90s... it's 2022 and that trend has not changed at all.
