- Reliability is one of the most important things to consider when buying a new car. Of course, some are going to be more reliable than others - but what are the models you may want to steer clear of when making a new purchase? Mat's pulled together a list of the top 15 most unreliable, including anything from a Bentley to a Tesla! But what do you think will take the top spot? Keep watching to find out!
Thanks to Warrantywise for helping us create this video - www.warrantywise.co.uk/
This survey has been calculated using data taken from the extended car warranty data held by Warrantywise and the repairs they have received. A spokesman for Warranty Wise said: “Warrantywise does not release data for cars unless we have a minimum of 100 vehicles as a sample amount. This data relates to claims between 2010 and 2020 and may not represent the reliability of new vehicles as all of the data in the set is for vehicles over 3 years old.”

Now we need the list for the most reliable cars.
Edit: Yes they made the list after this video
there are none...for last 5 years.... My BRZ also had some noise that i still can not find where it come form.

Yeah
Range Rovers are great off road cars because they just stay either on your garage or dealers.
Mine is out every day and working fine. It is serviced only by an authorized dealership
It was not made for you if you keep having comments like this
That was genuinely funny lol.

I sold my A6 Audi and bought a 04 1.6L Toyota Avensis for €200, I can guarantee that I will be still driving old reliable when every single 1 of them cars will be in the breakers yard, sick to death of losing tens of thousands on German cars, thanks Scotty!!!
And all of the driving excitement and Prestige involved in driving that Toyota and no extra charge. Haha

aahh,,,, mclaren, if your pop in to gear was not so violent and your paint was not coming of after the first car wash, you be perfect.
Germany is literally all over this list. Now, if only Japanese makes had bought out our low volume luxury cars - could have been as reliable as a Lexus. Lotus had the right idea of fitting a Toyota engine.
Well, there is no reliability warrant to claim if the entire car is turned to ashe. Can't fix what isn't there :D
@I Damn you seem salty over not being able to afford a "McLoser", and if you did some research you'd be surprised that outside of UA-camrs their cars (prior to the 720S and Senna) are surprisingly reliable, in fact, more so then Ferraris.
Also, Nissan makes their own engines, McLaren outsource to an engineering firm that has nothing to do with them and it's not a Nissan engine (and yes I'm aware that an engineer in that firm worked on some '90s Nissan Le Mans engines, something I doubt you know but rather saw someone comment something similar).
@@andrewnorris5415 That Rover situation was a mess, wasn't it? Honda could have bought Rover, but it went to BMW and now it is with SAIC.
Thank you for helping me decide that there is no need for an upgrade from 2002 Yaris to a Continental GT. I'll keep running it for the time being.
Used to work at a rental car company. Cars who would most have mechanical breakdowns : Volkswagen Jettas,Passats 2014 (mostly 2.5 petrol ones), 2013 Tiguans 2.0 TSI , 2013 Audi A3 2.0Tdi ,MK6 Golfs (diesel ones) , Mercedes Benz ML 2013 ,Audi A7 2013 , Audi Q5 3.2 (replaced the engine 2 times) , Range Rover Evoque 2017 blew the motor.

Toyota: what's that..
Honda: No idea mate
True!
I didn't know Honda was an Australian 😁
Surprisingly my mum's Honda civic was not reliable. It had a faulty gearbox at just 80k and now the car is distant to scrap
Hmm, the American's Honda Odyssey is unreliable tho

Aye no FCA on the list 🤓
Thenx man..you the hero
Ford is the BEST!!
Im happy that X4 is not here. X4 is X6, but smaller.
this is the most valuable information when it comes to cars - reliability. we need more vids like this.
Most of the cars are also expensive cars, thus spare parts are more expensive, thus their score will be bad. But relatively to their purchase price it could be quite acceptable, as the Bentley shows.
A more useful list would have been if the average repair cost had been divided by the average purchase price.
So if you pay 5x the price of a cheaper car from USA, Japan or Korea you don't even expect the same reliability? Ill drive my Lexus to 300k miles thank you very much.
@@andrewj4426 what? I’m not even sure you understand what Dirk is suggesting..
@@displayname2149 He understood but made a solid counter argument. If you pay so much for a car the probability of failure should decrease enough so that times the cost of repair would not increase the unreliability score.
@@displayname2149 I'm not even sure you understand what he's suggesting 😅
Makes you wonder if they make these expensive cars purposefully crap so that they can milk the suckers that buy them with repairs.
Carwow: makes a "unreliable cars" video
Range rovers: **nervous sweating**
You mean Range Rover, Porsche and BMW's nervous sweating? X6 and Cayenne both fell worse than the Range Rover. Also, BMW came last in both the 2018 and 2019 dependability studies. This info from Warrantywise just adds some substance to those results.
@@Clavinovaman It was just a joke but thanks for the info 😊🙃
German cars ain't reliable in a nowadays .... the sad story....
@@Clavinovaman Talking with a friend one day about mental stress. He was manager of a Range Rover dealership here in Queensland. "You don't know what stress is said he, until you see a $140,000 Range rover coming in on the back of a truck with the new owner sitting in the front with his arms folded.
@@jannandjohn Oh I am not suggesting Range Rover's are 100% reliable. Not even close. But, as you can see from this 'least reliable cars' video, it wasn't a Range Rover that was the worst 4x4, with no Discovery branded cars showing at all. The most unreliable 4x4s were the Porsche Cayenne and X6. Porsche, as a brand, is largely omitted from reliability stats due it not selling in sufficient numbers, with the MOST unreliable car being a Bentley. The more software you have installed in your car - the more trouble you are going to get. It really isn't a difficult concept to grasp and it amazes me how people seem to think this is particular, or unique, to one company.
How often do you get updates for your Apps with the update info showing 'Various Bug fixes'? Software installed with cars is no different Jan and John - the severity of bugs and instability being directly proportionate with its complexity. Whether that be Porsche, Bentley or Range Rover.
French & Italian manufacturers still trying to shake bad reps from 30 years ago, & 90% of this list is German!
Edit:
I have an E36 M3 & E39 535i so I've nothing against the German manufacturers. The reliability of all my cars has varied over the years! It was just to point out that bad reputations can hang around!
Exactly! Feel that German engineering... it makes me so mad.
THe german get worse don't mean other europen brna d got better..
I guess Alfa don't have enough sales to make the list.
Guys, it is one specific companie’s stats. I am pretty interested in their target group since all the cars on the list are very high and and don’t tell me that a Bentley is less reliable than a suzuki swift. It is probably a very specific client group that they have. Also, it isn’t just about the number of issues, but also their costs. It can happen that Italian and French cars has many more issues, they are just cheapernto fix. Remember, there are no Vlokswagens or Skodas or Opelsbon thisnlist either...
well its actually less than 50% on this list but ok
i bought a 2005 nissan altima 2.5 S last year and everyone told me not to buy it, but i loved the size of the interior and it had four doors and a huge trunk. also it had all the options nissan offered that year. other then replaced one of the two cat. converters and replacing the shocks front and rear, this car has been a joy to own and has the smoothest and quietest ride of any car i have owned. great trans. everything works great even including the trunk light. the engine is absolutely ez to work on. changed over to mobile one high milage full syn. oil and she purrs like a kitten. no rust anywhere and the paint is in excellent condition. that year did not have the jenco trans. it has a great 3 speed trans. works and shifts like brand new. on a scale of 1 to 10 i would give this car an solid 9 ( not a ten, a little too many plastic parts, i can live with that, it keeps the weight down ). would i buy another, hell yea.
Enjoyed your review. Thanks.
Carwow: makes a list of the most unreliable cars
McLaren: Am i joke to you?
nounou kasber McLaren only makes supercars! And no Supercar is reliable.Lamborghini and Porsche are probably the inly reliable supercar brand(after vw took over)
people dont make repair claims on mclarens, they just burn down
McLaren warranty is provided by a provider called Car Care Plan, Warrantywise probably don't cover any McLarens.
They recalled their cars

BMW had to completely replace the engine on my 2013 750Li. I got rid of that car 1 week after the warranty expired.
I have owned several, and they're junk. The Infiniti FX 35 is my daily driver now, and much faster then any BMW I've ever driven.

The most reliable car according to Scotty Kilmer
05 Celica. Serviced every year, mild tune, Blitz intake, Japspeed system (silenced), daily driver. Never misses a beat.
You're kidding right? the 1994 Gen 6 is one of the MOST reliable cars out there. Unless you had a ragged example. Proof: ua-cam.com/video/Q-M0M69lIFY/v-deo.html
Thanks Mat! - i watched this a year late as i need a new (used) car now. To measure pain better, divide the repair cost by the value of the car just prior to the fault. So the pain is not measured in £ but in latest %... for all cars. You twigged this was needed when you mumbled that Bentley owners could easily pay their repair bills. Ranking by % pain will remove the distortion of widely differing car values, and so be more relevant to folk considering cars on the (corrected) list.
What I find most surprising with this video is that warranty wise actually paid out any money at all. I went with them with my BMW and they were utterly terrible. Even the garages THEY used for repairs said they hated dealing with them.
I haven't watched the video but I'm pretty sure range rover is on the list.
Yup it's actually on there twice
But not doing too bad
@@derlangsame4471 Yes BMW is even less reliable
@@wince_moeron twice doesn't count range Rover and range Rover sport is technically the same car with different powertrains
Well , at least JLR are doing better than the Germans , which is half of this list !.
Great video - we need more stuff like this. To play the devils advocate however, the data might be biased since we can assume that owners of expensive cars are more likely to get an extended warranty.
Exactly, otherwise Peugeot, Fiat and Vauxhall and the others would have been up there.
And a higher cost per claim due to part and labour costs not the issue itself
It's biased in any way possible. This video is 100% entertainment and will hardly help anybody. It overrepresents expensive cars with the most expensive parts and very picky owners or sporty cars that will get a lot of abuse.
The brakes of a heavy M car need expensive repairs...oh, really?
Very true. The data is missing the non-warrantywise issues.
@@Anonymous-gt3zg Though by this calculation of probability x cost, Peugeot Fiat and Vauxhall will probably be near the bottom because the cost to repair is cheap and probability isn't much higher than any other manufacturer (as in, not enough to offset the cost difference). Bentley probably have massive labour costs, same as BMW, Audi etc.
Can't believe Renault or Peugeot are not on the list.
Peugeot is good
Had a BMW X5 new in 2016. Within 16k miles it sheared it's timing chain tensioner bolt. BMW had for a month and a new engine was shipped from Germany. Thank goodness for manufacturers warranty. Safe to say I've not touched BMWs since. Third time I've had major issues with BMW over the years.
My best manufacturer experience hands down was Honda. Had loads of fast Honda cars and never had an issue with any of them.
Fast honda cars? Which fast and furious episode is that?
Lesson to be learnt from this video:
1) Dont buy an SUV.
2) Dont buy a car with air suspension.
3) Dont buy a car with a gearbox.
4) Dont buy a car with an electrical system.

In my experience, minis are incredibly hot or miss, so I’m surprised there isn’t at least one on this list. In my family, we had an 05 Mini Copper S Convertible and drove it for many years without any faults. That was sold to upgrade to a 60 reg Mini Countryman (we got a good deal second hand to upgrade from the cooper). The head gasket blew at 50k miles, and the gear box had to be replaced. Ultimately decided that Mini wasn’t the most reliable so decided to go for a Toyota and VWs in the future exclusively as I haven’t met anyone who’s had problems with them
“Mazda is known for their reliability” Mazda RX-7: hold my rotor
HEY ! is reliable, if you check your engine oil 2 a week, have less then 350hp, and change the apex seals twice a year, that can cost a pretty penny... who every says Apex seals are cheap, i'm moving to your country, ( cheapest i ever found was edgar with Mazda pros in SOflo, for 2900usd, cash straight and lasted me for a long time)

I had a 1999 Peugeot 406 HDi 2.00 litre Turbo Deisel Estate, I bought it at 47,000 miles, and drove it all over Scotland, Europe through the Mountains ,in Snow etc, I thrashed it around, and it was always very heavily loaded with stuff in the boot etc. It sat still outside for 2 years through 2 very cold winters and snow as I bought a newer 407HDi . Anyway after the car had sat for 2 yrs I recharged the battery and it started first time and ran perfectly, I took it for an MOT which it passed no problem. I then sold the car to a Farmer friend of mine for 500 pounds. I did 577,000 miles in the car personally, my friend is still using it and its now on 635,000 and in all this time it has Never broken down or had any failures. Obviously it had normal wear and tear items replaced from time to time like tyres, brake pads etc but nothing ever broke or failed. Excellent Ultra reliable car in my opinion. Also the 407 HDi I bought was a 2.00Litre Turbo Deisel and I did a staggering 393,000 on the same clutch also as like the 406 I never had any breakdowns at all with it. I am a mechanic and in my view of all the cars I have owned over nearly 50 yrs of driving I would rate them as the most reliable that I have ever owned.
I had a passat B5.5 1.8T like the one in the opening scene and it caught fire a record 4 times while i owned it, and all the time was after a drive then parking it. It also turned me into a mechanic of sorts with a toolkit and overalls in the car always due to frequent break downs. It was great when on the road but for an ownership period of exactly 24 months, it spent about 14months in various garages being fixed and one month in my drive way when i gave up and would just look at it in amazement of it unreliability.
It is shocking, how many cars of "premium" manufacturers are on this list
makes a lot of sense because they are more expensive to repair
Because they overcomplicated everything
@Shogun Gaming Force lol wait... mitsubishi?
@Shogun Gaming Force Our family friend had mk3 Pajero too and it had ton of problems, he had to spend like 3-6k€ overall within 2-3 years and then he decided to get rid of it.
Also I think Volvo would be pretty expensive on that list you suggested too. Me, my sister and my mother all drive a Volvo and on top of that I got 3 friends and few other close relatives that owns a Volvo and nobody has had pretty much any issues. Also the spare parts for Volvos are super cheap and at least here overall they have the highest mileage too because they just last forever.
BMW and Audi are very unreliable cars.

Very interesting video, but noticing a bit of a trend of expensive cars, perhaps cux they'll have more expensive parts so higher avg repair cost. Perhaps to include more common consumer cars, either have a cap on the price of the cars included, or base just on probability, but count claims only above a certain amount to disclude small insignificant niggles?
Makes my mother's old Austin Metro of many years ago look the pinnacle of reliability.
I just bought a Benz and i haven’t felt this type of anxiety since brexit
Mercedes is doing good here
If it's brand new you might be ok, Mercs have been steadily improving their reliability since the early 00s when they were on par with a crashed Alfa. Still, German cars are good for many things but reliability is definitely not one of them.
E class working just fine here

Me: *laughs in Toyota*
iSN1P 12 laughs in bore off

The biggest problem with owning a Toyota is begging it to break down cause you want to have an excuse to buy a "better" car, but it never does!
Still running my 2006 Corolla 1.6. No issues at all. Lovely car.
Toyota reliability is atrocious taking into account they have no actual technology. 😂 Here's the proof. europe.jdpower.com/press-releases/2019-uk-vehicle-dependability-study
France and Italy: my my my, how the table has turned!
Italy: MAAMAA mIAA
France: oui oui
Yep. This has been true for a good while now. Just needs to be more widely accepted ;).
The thing with this list is that all the cars have expensive repair cost by them self. You won't see a seat with that kinda of costs, but it can have more problems that amount to the same amount of costs of those cars. Meaning that it is less reliable.
Plus it also has to do with people that repaired there cars. You won't spend 5000 pounds on a seat ibiza, but you would on a porsche cayenne.
Samuel Roque yes exactly- 1 repair on a £80k bmw will cost more than 20 repairs on a piece of shit Fiat. They may not even be reported because the owner has traded it on for something new
Yes, like Samuel says below, the study is flawed. The cost of repairs is directly proportional to the price of the car, that’s why you find a Bentley at the top. Also, let’s be real, an individual wouldn’t run an engine repair bill of over 10k - they’d swap out an entire reconditioned engine for less than half that. Unless there’s some sort of insurance paying the bill.
Couldn't agree more. I've worked with cars for over a decade and Citroen/Peugeot and Renault are far more reliable than BMW/Audi/Rangerover nowadays. Well done France!
Awesome! Looks like electric issues are in the past for french brands!
was expecting a few renaults and peugeots/citroens
@@shaysimms8862 Me too. But I'm happy, as I own a Peugeot (after three other Peugeots).
My family have had never ending problems with German cars. E60 M5 engine failure with full dealer history but out of warranty, M4 with DCT gearbox issues, C250 BlueEfficiency with constant electric gremlins - window mechanism, central locking, heater matrix etc, Audi S3 with paint and rust issues with full Audi SH and only 6 months old. Gone Japanese and never looked back, rock solid build and reliability
I'm buying a Honda or a Toyota and save myself from premature grey hairs.
@@DanielTaneski wishing you the best of luck with that. If it’s anything like sports cars your can’t and shouldn’t try to do that
Actually a good plan. Toyota and Honda make good reliable vehicles. They also stand behind those vehicles. Toyota recalls for everything, unlike many other manufacturers that have an attitude of you bought it your problem. Being a DIY guy I find Toyota vehicles are well designed, good quality hardware/parts used when made. Working on a Toyota is fairly easy. Their vehicles are well designed by engineers. No problem getting parts as there is a huge aftermarket parts source availability. Just look at the vehicles in a parking lot. How many domestic vehicles that are fairly new do you see with paint/rust issues? What I notice is you still see a lot of older Toyota's, Honda's and some Subaru's on the road.
Lol. Toyotas and hondas have their issues too.
@@conradsealy9603 like
@@conradsealy9603 I understand cars like Chrysler and the Bentley continental look good but they aren’t reliable. I personally don’t wanna take care of my car and pay a leg to repair and maintain. So yes all vehicles are prone to issues but some are just plain bad unless you willing or can pay the price
Haha I love how the Tesla in the thumbnail is buffering 😂
No surprise that it was electrical issues on most of these cars. The common denominator is that they all use Bosch Electrics. Lucas Electrics may be the lighting company that invented darkness, but Robert Bosch refined and perfected darkness.
I’ve got a 2013 Kia Optima - not one problem (except for the couple of recalls). I love the car so when I was in the market to replace my other car I got a Sportage. I do not understand the prejudice against Kia.
Kia (and hyundai for that matter) have improved MASSIVELY in the past few years, in both trying to improve reliability and styling. They’re definitely no longer the joke of the car industry like they were especially in the early/mid 2000s.

This is the 34th time i scrolled down to go to comment section 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
Same...ill get the hang of it eventually xD
Why has it changed to this
I'm surprised that 2008 model VW Passats aren't on your list. I bought a brand new Passat Sport diesel estate, we bought on the strength of our old utterly dependable reliable B5.5 Passat Estate
The B6 reliability was diabolical, it nearly killed us on a busy south bound M1 on a Sunday evening in November...EVERYTHING failed with the engine. Thank God, that the section of the M1 just before the M69 jn..didn't have a missing hard shoulder. I've never been so scared in all my life...I coasted it to the hard shoulder across all three lanes and 35' of truck, took forever to give me room to cut in behind it, all vehicles blasting their horns etc. I was numb at the thought of what could have happened. It was recovered by the RAC. The VW dealership said it would cost me over £600 to replace a short circuit injector and loom, the car was 2 weeks out of warranty...After I threatened to report VW to to DVSA...they did the repair for free as a good will gesture!

It's interesting that we hear so much about great 'German Engineering', but it would appear that they're near the bottom of the pile. If you want to find the most reliable cars, you need to look at the Japanese manufacturers who are absolutely obsessed with quality control and testing testing testing of absolutely everything.
Well the only German cars on this list are high-end ones. Up to the A4/C-Class/3-Series they're actually pretty reliable.
Engineering and reliability are quite independent traits. The cars are actually engineered very well, but since they come from the part of the world with different consumer behaviours, there is not enough emphasis on longevity of the product. The average age of a car in Germany is about 9 years. Almost every car will make it that far. What happens then is not that big of a concern for them.
@@dominiksuk7261 There are no truly bad cars these days and most, if maintained correctly, should give very little trouble for the first 5 years. Then it's a case of avoiding cars with complex electronics and ones where the owner has skimped on servicing,. which is the kiss of death for cars like BMW, which require meticulous servicing with genuine parts for a long life.
@@tarkanbashllari1627 - 'Pretty reliable' isn't exactly what fans of German Engineering think they're getting. The reality is that Japanese and South Korean Engineering is head and shoulders above that. Look back at JD Power surveys over the years, and you'll see exactly what the truth is.
@@dominiksuk7261 - What utter nonsense. Engineering is about the whole design and production process. The Germans simply aren't any better than anyone else at this when it comes to cars. It's just a myth perpetrated by fanboys.

*Alfa Romeo has left the chat
I'm quite surprised about the CX-5 in that list. I have the newer model though, and over the past 2 years, there was one broken light-bulb. Before the Mazda I had an Alfa 159 ti Selespeed, which was more often in the garage for being fixed than driving. That was going from one extreme to the other, but I am glad I made that step in that direction.
Ah, the selespeed.........better with a manual. Had a 156 and a 159. Better looking than the German equivalents, cheaper to service and only one problem. The timing belt on the 156 went earlier even than the downwards revised recommended replacement time. Alfa fixed it, no charge, no quibbles.

There might not be lot's of Stelvios and Giulias older than 3 years around in the uk. And they state that they only include vehicles which they provide an extended warranty for, and if there are more than 100 vehicles of the certain type.

Extra weight wears out suspensions faster. Especially when the weight is higher up, leading to more body roll.

I´m going to start just saying that I love your channel!
I have been working a lot of years in the automotive industry for customers like Volvo, BMW and JLR.
Here in Sweden we have a study that gathers reports from our emergency departments, I mean Fire, Paramedics and Roadside Assistance. This study reveals a problem of which almost nothing is spoken and whenever it goes out to the public it is in one way or another covered so that it is forgotten. Well, the problem is quite serious and it is the fact that the emergency services that attend traffic accidents report that electric vehicles are highly dangerous for their personnel, since many people have received shocks when trying to open the doors. Even the occupants have received shocks trying to get out. This is related to damage to the battery container and is a tremendous problem when they have fire situations and the priority is to get people out of the vehicles. Well, here I leave it in case you want to do your own research on it. I think it is a good theme for your channel.
PS: the study also has reports from other countries such as the United Kingdom and Germany
REALLY.?
I find that hard to believe. Most electric cars have a cut off switch or similar. I think the emergency services need to learn where these are, and how to operate them...
@@VFRrider none of that work when the battery module is damaged
so much for miljövänligt when its trying to kill you
I think these cars are actually designed to break down. And I love how the very beginning of the video shows a car on fire. 🔥
Some of them actually are. They are designed for customers who switch to newer models quickly and don't keep the same car for a long time
one car I would never buy is the VW Sharan, I drove one of these a few years back for taxi work & everything that could go wrong went wrong, I experienced transmission failure, Radiator failure, gearbox failure & drive shaft failure all within 3 months... also the 735i BMW which has electrical issues which could lead to a risk of fire starting under the rear passenger seats....
No Alfa’s, brilliant.. I love Alfa’s..
LMFAO
Mazda is an Alpha, Chevrolet is an Alpha.
Who would be daft enough to buy one of those.
See my comment above.. I'd rather stick with my Alfa 145. Very reliable.
@@hachanabe.... Mazda is not an Alfa...... Only the under body and skeleton is made jointly to save costs. The electrics, bodywork and suspension, engine and gearbox is made by the manufacturer that had the badge on it, Check it out, Yes, decades ago Mazda and Ford did what you are saying, it is called BADGE ENGINEERING.. all badges including the one on the steering just show the name of cat but the exact car is, identical to the other... Including all engine parts.

Good list🐺
The reliability of my cars:
#1 1992 VW Golf III GL Automatic (2011-2012): Somehow good
It had only problems with its power windows and the car's engine suddenly went off. But I started it again, and this issue never happened again.
Garage visitations: never
#2 1997 Rover 214i (2012-2014): Somehow good/mediocre
15 HP less than the Golf, but it felt faster.
It had also problems with its front windows, but that was fixed up again. The (infamous) head gasket blown off BUT that also has been fixed - for not so high costs :)
One of its tyre screws broke off when the tyres has been changed
Its exhaust pipe had huge rust problems
Its airbag light constantly flushed
Garage visitations: only once, or twice
#3 1998 Yugo Tempo 1.1 (Since 2013): More reliable than you think about a Yugo :)
I only use it when I'm in Serbia -> which means, I doesn't use it often.
Normally - with the exception of pulling over by itself (which has been fixed) and a (later discovered) engine fault - it doesn't have any main problems
Garage visitations: Not really - it was fixed by a friend
#4 2001 Renault Scenic RX4 (2015-2016): Quite reliable for a French Car :)
My only car with AWD and diesel.
Its only main issue was the Alternator, and the weird flushing taillights
Garage visitations: only once
#5 2001 Mercedes A140 (2016-2018): Good
Like the Golf I shared the Merc with my dad. First it was very reliable. Then it had a very big issue: The lambda sond and the suspension - but it was fixed up again. One reason for the lambda sond fault: I often filled up with "Super E10", instead of "Super" (two versions of petrol in Germany, "Super" is normal petrol, "Super E10" contains Ethanol)
Garage visitations: once or twice
#6 1996 Rover 416Si (Since 2016): Bad
Unfortunately the most unreliable car I've ever have :( - and I love it :)
Its first issue was the gearbox. Then there were more issues (which has been repaired):
- breaks (I had to be fixed up AGAIN shortly after released from the garage)
- clutch
- ignition
- rear axis
- front lights
It might be possible some of these garages screwing my Rover up on purpose! Sometimes I repair my Rover by myself and - strangely - there are less issues then (Even though, I'm not an mechanic).
The infamous head gasket has already been repaired - by its pre-owner
Garage visitations: Many :(
#7 2002 Fiat Punto (2018-2019): good AND bad
This Fiat is like Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde xD
When I had this Fiat, it was the most reliable car I've ever had!
When my little brother got his driving lincence, this Fiat was his 1st car. Unfortunately the same Fiat showed its bad side: constantly electrical faults!
Garage visitations: None under my ownership
#8 1989 Yugo Koral 45 (Since 2019) Same as the other Yugo
My vintage car, with some rust problems. Surprisingly, it starts almost immidiately, if you try to start after not touching for months! :O
Garage visitations: once
#9 2004 Ford Focus Mk2 (Since 2021): Good
My recent daily driver. A reliable car with a clever designed interior (and NO ASHTRAYS - I'm not a smoker, anyway xD) its issues:
- broken door lock (luckily my Ford has also a lock on the passenger side)
- starter (avoid bigger puddles on the street!)
- screeching brakes (but only if you breaks, while driving backwards - same problem at Jaguar Land Rover cars)
Garage visitations: once

Worst is Alfa Romeo
@@grzegorzbrzeczyszczykiewic3671 alfa romeo cars is very reliable ...
Brian Rocks 9 out of 10 times it is usually the battery that needs to be replaced but all dealerships will make you pay them to go thru and replace every electrical component relevant to the fault before either forcing you to get a new car or telling you it’s the battery after the billed you $1000 to $2000 for unnecessary stuff. Sad thing is on BMWs when the battery is failing the amber/red check battery lamp is not used to tell you that . Instead the battery failure sets off check lamps and fault codes for any random electrical thing whether it be transmission, navigation, central locking, radio, wiper blades, abs, dsc, etc... I’ve had several BMWs going back from my first a 1995 318i to my father in law’s 2018 750i (which surprisingly already had a dead battery) and they all do the same thing when the battery is dead or dying. Not a lot of folks know this. Always do your UA-cam homework before buying a BMW.
Surprised the Skoda Fabia VRS Mk2 isn't on there. I had one that only lasted only 2 weeks and apparently the engine needs a full rebuild/replacement at least 3 times a year.

@@Jabber-ig3iw SUV's are ugly bro. For the same price as an X6, you can get something way better from a sedan. I really don't understand the reasoning of SUV buyers.
@@Jabber-ig3iw *the sQ7 looks amazing too!!*
@@angrysocialjusticewarrior X6 is very ugly. But not every SUV is ugly and expensive. Look at Peugeot 3008 or DS7 Crossback. Also you guys forget why SUVs got so popular. It's not because of off-road. People just want tall cars, because in tall car you can sit very comfortable (by comfortable I mean tall seating position, in wagons you have awkward and uncomfortable low siting position, especially in second row - your kness are almost on the level of your head ). So people want tall cars. However tall cars usually are not attractive (most minivans). To make tall cars less 'square', you need large ground clearance. Not for off-road. For LOOKS. Compare tall but low car (minivan) with something like Peugeot 5008. It has a tall body, but because of large ground clearance proportions are better than in case of minivan. So, crossovers and SUVs are good way to make tall car, but more attractive than minivan. Maybe wagons have better aerodynamics, but they aren't that much better looking than SUVs (most German wagons look like a sedan with glued bigger trunk in the rear). My biggest problem with the large European sedans/wagons is that they are a waste of space. Yes, waste. Despite common belief, wagons are not 'more practical' than SUVs. Larger European wagon has the same length as large SUV (around 5 meters) and similar width. So it's not easier to park wagon. Audi A6 avant is as hard to park as grand Jeep Grand Cherokee, but it's lower, so it has worse comfort. Jeep is big but it's not ugly as minivan, because large ground clearance at the bottom introduces some 'air' to sides. So SUVs are not stupid. Wagon is better only if you live in Germany and drive 250 km/h on autobahn. Most SUVs are silent and can drive well up to 200 km/h. In my opinion the best kind of car is sedan (because it looks really good), but it has to be very, very long to be comfortable (because of sloping roofline). That's not practical. Then next best car is a hatchback, because of good space/length/aerodynamics balance. Then there is an SUV, with almost minivan space but with better looks. Minivan itself is also acceptable if you care only about functionality.
Despite what you day, the dumbest cars are not SUVs. Small/midsize sedans or wagons (especially long wagons) are most stupid in my opinion. Because space/length balance is really bad for sedans, therefore in small and midsized sedans you don't feel comfortable. In wagons there is more space, but wagons are on the other hand uglier than sedans. Aerodynamics is the only gain compared to SUVs. Some people say wagons are more fun to drive, but it's no longer true. The difference in handling between good SUV and wagon is small, as wagon is not a true sporty car anyway (long wheelbase - not so much fun in the corners). Wagons are for people who think they can have everything at once - low, attractive sports car and comfortable car. But wagons are not truly sporty (long wheelbase), nor truly attractive (rear end), nor truly comfortable (low). Meant to do everything and good at nothing.
Interesting to see the CX-5 there. I wonder if it's to do with an engine that the UK gets, because here in Australia they have been rock solid with very few complaints or known issues.
Mazda diesel engines are notoriously problematic, and I guess the UK market mainly buys the diesels. :)
@@TassieLorenzo yes I heard about Mazda diesels being quite troublesome. Apparently a common issue on their diesels is the oil pick up pipe which stops oil going into the engine, ending in total engine failure😬
