|  Which magazine ? Asked 80000 drivers how reliable their up to 8 year old cars are. The results are as follows. Most reliable [in no particular order]: Ford Suzuki Hyundai Mazda Toyota Lexus Honda The least reliable, in no particular order: BMW Audi Mercedes VW Seat Saab Volvo Fiat Alfa Citroen Landrover. Peugeot Skoda faired as average which is not good, but not poor. Anyone agree with these findings ?

| Ford surprises me , and I suppose hyundai as well , but the japanese makes always have been well put together. Odd to see VW and audi as less reliable than renault and peugeot (I assume they were in the middle somewhere)

| Briskodian | Interesting bit is that Skoda are the most reliable VAG brand ..... now theres a thought for all those badge snobs out there - especially the really snooty Audi dealers. |

| Briskodian  | FWIW My VW Polo was fine up to about 6 years, then it started costing an unending amount, i.e. if it wasn't one thing it was another, even with low mileage I was rather surpised, given its erstwhile reputation. I was glad to be rid.Mo |
