Reliability is defined differently by different sources. Well, I must say - this is a fairly relevant topic today. Of course, among those people who are fond of cars. Well, be that as it may, it is best to focus on the reviews of the owners. Since this is the most reliable information, and you need to focus on it, making up a reliability rating.
Principles for compiling statistics
So, it follows, first of all, to say a few words about how such lists are compiled. In general, several criteria must be taken into account. Only then does the rating of car brands in terms of reliability turn out to be logical, competent and, most importantly, competent. Everything should be taken into account - the operation of machine components, reliability, comfort level in the cabin, luggage transportation, car impressions, design, exterior and much more. But in general, there are only four criteria. The first is the complaints of the owners. The second is reliability and quality. The third is expenses and possessions. And, finally, the fourth one is the quality of dealer service. If you take into account all of the above factors, you will be able to compile a competent rating of car brands in terms of reliability, as well as find out which concern produces the highest quality cars.
German statistics
Well, at the head of the ranking are German cars. And this is not surprising. Mercedes-Benz, Audi, BMW and Volkswagen are the order in which the brands rank in terms of quality and reliability. Not only cars such as sedans, station wagons and hatchbacks of the middle class are taken into account (although, speaking of German cars, the phrase “middle class” should not be used), but also sports cars, SUVs and minivans. When compiling statistics and ratings, it is important to take into account the interests and demand of various people and motorists. So it will be possible to determine which concern offers the widest range of machines.
Among the "Germans" - this is definitely a "Mercedes". There is no need to talk about the build quality - it has always been excellent, and manufacturers continue to adhere to their principles. “Audi” is a brand that produces, in some respects, simply flawless models. Especially lately. Manufacturers have increased the level of comfort and safety, as well as improved their engines, suspensions and gearboxes. Perhaps this is the reason for the increased demand for many Audi models. And of course, solid "BMW" and "Volkswagen". The Bavarians continue to make good, long-lasting cars, and Volkswagen does not change its traditions and endows its models with ever better features, which attract more and more buyers.
Japanese and Korean production
The quality and reliability of cars belonging to Korean and Japanese concerns is also impressive. So, for example, a huge number of people claim that the brand that produces truly is Lexus. The Lexus RX left the best impression. Slightly less popular and, accordingly, reliable, was the Lexus IS sedan.
Toyota, Honda, Huynday - these brands are also included in the list of the most bought prices for which are pleasing to the eye, have gained popularity due to the successful combination of cost and quality. Of course, of all of the above, Toyota is higher. Urban hatchbacks of this concern are sold out very quickly. In the same way as compact vans from Honda, which is one position below its competitor. Closes the top three "Asians" budget Huynday.
"British" and "Americans"
Excellent reviews “collects” and the British concern “Jaguar”. And his model has become the most bought of all that have ever been produced. Despite the fact that a few years ago, cars of this production occupied a rather modest position, now everything has become different. The concern's specialists have changed the approach to auto production, and the result is obvious, the brand has taken a solid place in the ranking of the best, and this fact is confirmed by many!
A brand such as Chevrolet (an American manufacturer) is also on the list of reliable ones. Original spare parts for these cars are inexpensive, just like a technical inspection. Yes, and it breaks, I must say, rarely. In this way, it is similar to the American Ford - models of this brand can also often be found on the roads. In general, both Chevrolet and Ford are manufacturers producing stable cars. And it is for this quality that they are highly valued among drivers around the world.
Russian production
Well, a few words would not hurt to say about the cars produced at the factories of our country. Of course, it will be difficult if you take into account foreign brands. However, if you choose the Russian car of the year, then it will most likely be Lada Priora or Lada Kalina. These machines are assembled soundly, especially the latest versions. In addition, manufacturers began to improve their performance and equip them with new equipment, lighting equipment, and modernize engines. Many models are capable of squeezing 200 km / h, or even more. New engines do not break down so often, and this definitely pleases the adherents of the Russian car industry. Perhaps it is for this reason that the Lada is recognized as the most reliable car in Russia.
Rating 2015
Well, finally, I would like to list other brands that are included in the TOP of the most high-quality and reliable cars. They, it must be said, are not so few. The rating included, for example, the brand Infiniti, Suzuki and Porsche. Of course, these cars are not so popular, but the owners claim that breakdowns in cases with these cars are rare. Mitsubishi, Isuzu and Skoda also received a lot of votes. In general, it is worth noting that each brand has its own buyer. It all depends on taste, as well as on the financial capabilities of a person. In general, the most popular were also cars related to Japanese and Korean production. As a matter of fact, there is nothing to be surprised at, since on the streets we see most often precisely “Mercedes”, “Audi”, “Toyota” and “Honda”. By the way, about prices. They are not that tall. So, for example, a used car in good condition can be taken for 150-300 thousand rubles. He has already served 15-20 years and can still withstand the same amount with good treatment. And new cars, of course, will cost more. The same popular Toyota Corolla in a new condition will cost about 800,000 rubles. In general, what to choose depends on the person. And the price difference is big.
In a society of disposable phones, cars, people, few people know what a good car is. An iron friend becomes a consumable that you need to buy on time and get rid of in time, about five years later. In this rating there are only cars with a soul, character, albeit sometimes with a bad one. At the same time, their cost is not particularly high now, any car from this list can be bought for relatively little money. We are talking about sedans of different classes, but they are united by reliability, popularity among the people and other features. We present you the top best cars, and so we went.
Top 15 most desired cars
Ford Crown Victoria
Fifteenth place there is a car from the USA - Ford Crown Victoria. Honestly, I have never driven an American car, I could be wrong - I stupidly state from the words of friends who had such an apparatus, they say - a demonic car, reliable and trouble-free, more than five meters, 4628 cm3 - engine size.

Over the past decade, cars have captivated not only Russia, but the whole world. Every year the number of used cars is also increasing, as future car owners prefer to buy a used car, since the cost of such a purchase will be significantly lower than that offered in showrooms for a new vehicle. In this article, we will provide a list of the most reliable cars in 2018-2019, whose age will be from 2 to 10 years.
The most reliable cars 2-3 years
Let's open the list of the most reliable used cars from the German model Mercedes-Benz C-class. According to many owners of this vehicle, the biggest plus of the Mercedes-Benz C-class, which has traveled more than 100 thousand kilometers, is its suspension. It takes a lot of effort to loosen such a stable suspension, the only thing that can be replaced after the first hundred is a pair of shock absorbers.
The reliability of the Japanese Honda Civic is legendary. The main merit of such a reputation belongs to the galvanized car body. The case will not rust even after ten years of use, let alone 2-3 years. It is also worth noting a very reliable alternator belt that can work up to 350,000 kilometers.
One of the most noticeable advantages of a used Infiniti Q70 is its excellent handling. Even after 200,000 kilometers, the car behaves confidently on the road, especially when driving at high speed on the highway. It is also worth noting the low fuel consumption, which is rare for a car in this segment.
A South Korean sedan called Hyundai Solaris has recently been the best-selling car in the country, and the fact that this car is reliable in terms of its technical characteristics is not at all surprising. Especially the owners of used Hyundai Solaris note the smooth running and good operation of the automatic transmission, which, even after 150,000 km, does not need the intervention of a master.
Closes the top five reliable cars, whose age is not more than 3 years old, Volkswagen Polo. It should be noted right away that when choosing a transmission for this car, it is best to stop at a manual gearbox. Especially the owners note the low oil consumption in the engine, as well as the absence of overheating.
The most reliable cars aged 4 to 5 years
The rating of the most reliable cars, the term of which is more than 4 years, I would like to start with the Japanese model Subaru Forester. Not only does this crossover have the highest ground clearance in its segment, but it also belongs to one of the most reliable crossovers in terms of steering. Even after 5 years and 200,000 km, the driver does not need to worry about replacing the steering rack.
Next, consider the 4-year-old Toyota RAV4 crossover, with a 2.0-liter engine modification and a power of 150 horses. According to numerous reviews, about this car, we can safely say that after a few years, the chassis of the crossover will remain as good as new, but the steering rack may fail, so before buying such a car, it is better to turn to professionals for inspection. Another huge advantage of this crossover is its cost. Only 500 thousand rubles will be required in order to become the owner of a used Toyota RAV4.
Another German in our today's rating is the Volkswagen Golf. According to numerous reviews of hatchback owners, it is worth noting the automatic transmission, which does not fail even after 150,000 kilometers. So it’s safe to say that in this case, when buying a used Volkswagen Golf, you need to choose an automatic transmission. Also note the increased resistance of the body to corrosion.
Even after 200,000 kilometers and 5 years of operation, the Japanese Toyota prius is characterized by low fuel consumption, which positively affects the well-being of the owner of this car. It is also worth noting that thanks to the regenerative braking system, the life of the brake pads is increased several times. Due to the lack of parts in the gearbox that do work through friction, the transmission does not need to be repaired and replaced with expensive parts.
Starting to talk about a used Volkswagen Touran, the age of which does not exceed 5 years, it is immediately worth noting that the condition of the car, in most cases, will depend on the owner of the crossover. The oil and oil filter should be changed here every six months. If you comply with this condition, the machine will last another ten years without any problems. Another big advantage of this model is its capacity. Like the cabin, the luggage compartment boasts a significant supply of free space. Despite this, the interior warms up very quickly, but this is a separate praise for the heating system.
Rating of reliable cars aged 6-7 years
A mini car for girls called Nissan micra, of course, is more suitable for the female contingent, and judging by the numerous reviews, it is so. First of all, when creating the latest generation of Nissan micra in 2010, Japanese designers tried to make a high quality car, and they succeeded. According to numerous reviews, the mini hatchback does not require the intervention of masters even after 400,000 kilometers. In addition, the baby’s engine is very praised, which starts up with half a turn even in 40-degree frost. That's why the Nissan Micra tops our list of reliable vehicles over 6 years old.
We continue the rating with another legendary car from Japan called Toyota Corolla. Its main plus is, of course, the democratic cost. In most cases, for a used Toyota Corolla that is less than 7 years old, they ask for only 450,000-500,000 rubles. The original parts are pleasing until they are replaced, the car owner has nothing to be afraid of, the main thing is to change everything to the original later, and not to purchase a Chinese or Russian duplicate, a mean one, as they say, pays twice. It is also worth noting a manual transmission, thanks to which you can save on fuel, as the robot will consume 1.5 liters of gasoline more.
When purchasing a used Honda Accord, the future car owner should check the service book, because after 7 years of operation and 200,000-300,000 kilometers, the automatic transmission had to be tested with a scheduled replacement of the bearing. The same can be said about the mechanics. It is also worth noting the durability of the steering rack, which will last up to 80,000 kilometers, but then you have to change it. Suspension and shock absorbers can also boast of survivability - their life reaches 200,000 kilometers.
Another representative of the Toyota auto concern, a hatchback called Yaris, continues our rating of reliable cars. Of the main advantages of the baby Toyota Yaris is its handling, even on a snowy track, this car behaves perfectly. There should be no complaints about the motor either, since the car starts even in severe frosts. It is also worth highlighting the compact size of the hatchback, which allows it to easily make U-turns in urban areas. There is only one minus, it is better not to put a car factory on this car, because internal interference can end badly for all Toyota Yaris brains.
Mitsubishi Padjero Sport
A used Mitsubishi Padjero Sport SUV, of course, is best purchased in a 6-7-year-old condition, since in the first five years, the car will not require any investment at all. But since we are talking about the age of 7 years, it is worth immediately changing the oil in the box and the engine, thereby the car owner will provide himself with several years of trouble-free driving. Of the other advantages, it is worth noting the high cross-country ability of the SUV and the frame body, which can save the life of the driver and passengers in an accident. It is also worth highlighting the option to disable the rear axle, which is present in all 7-year-old Mitsubishi Padjero soprt, as it came as standard.
TOP reliable cars aged 8-10 years
Toyota Camry
A used Toyota Camry is, first of all, an opportunity to purchase a business class car at a reasonable price. When purchasing this car, you should specify the year of production, since 10 years ago this car was assembled exclusively in Japan. Then production was established within our homeland, which led to a decrease in the quality of the sedan. Of the durable mechanisms, it is immediately worth highlighting the gas distribution mechanism drive, which will require adjustment only after the mark of 200-300 thousand kilometers. The replacement of the bearing in the gearbox will be required after 100 thousand kilometers of the distance traveled. Silent blocks will last up to 130 thousand kilometers, but shock absorbers are much more durable - 200 thousand kilometers. The cost of a used Toyota Camry, which is more than 8 years old, is about 500-550 thousand rubles.
For only 850 thousand rubles, you can become the owner of an 8-year-old Mazda 6, which is one of the most reliable cars in the world. After 200 thousand kilometers, only scheduled replacements of consumables should be made on this machine. Otherwise, the Japanese sedan does not require the intervention of a master, unless, of course, the former owner of the car handled it carefully and made all the scheduled oil changes. No wonder the Mazda 6 is one of the leaders in the best cars in terms of price / quality. The obedient steering wheel of the Japanese sedan deserves special praise, so there will be no problems with handling. It is also worth noting the high-quality sound insulation, even at high speeds in the car, you can communicate without raising your voice.
The reliability of a car depends on a combination of many factors, but all of them, except for one, are secondary and related to the features of operation and maintenance. The endurance of a machine can be compared with human genes: one is ready to conquer and conquer from birth, and the other is so-so, weaker.
Our review is dedicated to cars of different categories with the best "genes". When forming the rating position, not only the characteristics of the model were taken into account, but also the opinions of the direct owners, the position of these brands in the Russian secondary market, and many other factors. So let's get started!
The most reliable inexpensive cars
3 Hyundai Solaris
The best foreign adaptation for Russian roads
Country: South Korea
Average price: 625,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8
An exemplary budget model of the Korean auto industry, very fond of the domestic consumer. The Koreans did not resort to adapting Solaris to the roads of consumer countries, focusing on preparing an ideal passenger vehicle, primarily for sale within the country. Such a risky step was fully justified: on the one hand, the similarity of the climatic conditions of Russia and Korea affected, and on the other hand, the excellent quality of work of South Korean manufacturers.
The latest restyling of the Hyundai Solaris brought not only external changes to the model - special attention was paid to the individual safety of the driver and passengers in the event of a serious accident. The Koreans achieved the desired result in terms of reliability and appearance, which naturally affected the cost of the model.
Advantages:
- pleasant appearance;
- excellent adaptability to the climatic and road conditions of Russia;
- gradual increase in safety with each restyling;
- high level of reliability - five stars out of five according to the global classification.
Flaws:
- cost bordering on the middle segment.
2 Lada Kalina
Low cost
Country Russia
Average price: 400,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8
A very unexpected leader in terms of safety and reliability on domestic roads. It does not differ in technological solutions and innovation in the form of countless sensors for tracking vulnerable and blind zones, but it fully compensates for this by adapting to Russian realities. Like many other projects of the AvtoVAZ concern, Kalina begins to crumble after about ten years of operation. However, maintaining a car in a satisfactory condition is very inexpensive, and compared to other models, breakdowns are not so critical.
Advantages:
- fully adapted to Russian realities;
- time-tested platform;
- negligible car maintenance costs (subjective criterion);
- low cost in the domestic official and secondary market.
Flaws:
- the car does not have additional road control options.
1 Renault Logan
Country: France/Russia
Average price: 500,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9
One of the clear contenders for leadership in the class of inexpensive but reliable cars. It's no secret that "Logan" was created in the framework of close cooperation between France, Japan and Russia. That is why the car is fully adapted for driving in the difficult road conditions of our country.
Progressive annual (or so) restyling allows you to introduce new "chips" into the Logan system, the presence of which is dictated by modern security requirements. The main attention is paid to the control of blind spots when driving and parking, but these are rather additional options. The main advantage of the car is the good old Nissan B platform - reliable and at the same time not too expensive to maintain.
Advantages:
- combination of technological solutions of the three countries;
- full adaptation to Russian roads;
- additional motion control options;
- relative cheapness of maintenance;
- affordable price for consumers and great corporate opportunities (disposal of old cars and trade-in).
Flaws:
- not identified.
The most reliable cars in the middle price segment
3 Mitsubishi Lancer X
User Choice
Country: Japan
Average price: 1,300,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.8
Car-tale, car-legend. Stylish and fast, the Lancer has always remained a solid means of transportation. It took the car as much as 15 years to win the highest scores in the reliability rating according to all European standards. Recognition among the domestic car market came in 2009 - it was then that the model experienced the greatest jump in popularity and general demand among Russian motorists.
Despite a number of rather significant advantages, including a brutal appearance, good driving characteristics, and low susceptibility to breakdowns, the Lancer has one significant drawback, delicately noticed by many auto bloggers and professionals. Over time, the car body begins to rust, and this process can be stopped (however, not for long) only at an early stage of corrosion development.
Advantages:
- one of the most popular models in Russia;
- tolerates harsh climatic conditions;
- optimal balance of technical characteristics and durability;
- high safety factor.
Flaws:
- over time, the body of the car begins to completely rust;
- rather expensive service (quality).
2 Toyota Camry
Best Build Quality
Country: Japan
Average price: 1,600,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9
Another "long-liver", the first appearance in Russia of which took place quite a long time ago. Over the past time, the Camry has fully adapted to the domestic market, having established itself not only as a good Japanese car with an impressive appearance, but also as a reliable, and, most importantly, safe transport. The adaptation of the Japanese to Russian realities took place gradually - the main breakthrough was made at the moment when the first factories for the mass production of this car were built in Russia. Today, along with the legendary Corolla, the 2017 Camry is equipped with the latest technology, for which it was awarded the highest safety score by the European association Euro NCAP and the American J. D. Power.
Advantages:
- good equipment (standard parking sensors, rear view camera, nine airbags);
- excellent margin of safety for a long service life;
- representative view.
Flaws:
- high maintenance cost.
1 Kia Sportage
Most wanted crossover
Country: South Korea
Rating (2019): 5.0
The undisputed leader in terms of reliability among urban crossovers in the middle price segment. The history of the car began quite a long time ago - at first, the Sportage was a rather hardy car, completely devoid of the concept of "style". Over time, the situation gradually changed, but the concept of a reliable means of transportation remained at the forefront.
Today, this car is the flagship among crossovers in the domestic market, which, perhaps, no true connoisseur of the combination of style, safety and branded reliability of Koreans would refuse to own.
Advantages:
- corporate quality and reliability, time-tested;
- a stylish version of the urban crossover, equipped with a large number of motion control sensors;
- flattering reviews of professionals about driving characteristics and condition after a long service life;
- high safety score according to the world's leading experts (Euro NCAP and J. D. Power).
Flaws:
- not detected.
The most reliable cars after ten years of running
3 Nissan X-Trail
High build quality
Country: Japan
Average price: 1,500,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.6
One of the most sought-after SUVs in the domestic market, the cross-country ability and survivability of which frankly delight motorists. It so happened that the first generation of X-Trails did not enter the Russian market, but the proximity to Japan nevertheless contributed to the spread of these cars, however, on a unit scale. The popularization of the SUV in the domestic market began with the second generation, which showed good cross-country ability both on the ground and on the sands, and in especially dirty, difficult areas (clay and saline soils).
Today, the Nissan X-Trail is a testament to survivability to look up to. The car is able to drive quietly for ten years without experiencing any serious problems with breakdowns and aging.
Advantages:
- excellent copy for operation in Russia;
- high security and reliability parameters.
Flaws:
- the high cost of the car and decent annual maintenance costs;
- not too powerful engine for an SUV.
2 Volkswagen Polo
Optimal combination of price and quality
Country: Germany
Average price: 600,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.7
The Germans have always been famous for the high quality of their creations, no matter what market segment and cost they belong to. Absolutely any car from the Volkswagen family could have been in the place of the Polo, since most of the specimens quietly live up to 15-20 years without experiencing any problems either in detail or in wear of body elements (corrosion is very rare).
As for this particular model, in the Polo one can note a good balance of fuel consumption and power - no frills, but quite a tolerable result. According to the reviews of many owners of this car, after ten years of running with a fairly moderate driving mode, there are no serious problems with maintenance and maintenance.
Advantages:
- classic sedan with a pleasant appearance;
- good power characteristics, but only on restyled models of 2017;
- not prone to age-related breakdowns.
Flaws:
- despite good resistance to breakdowns, annual maintenance costs a pretty penny.
1 VAZ "Niva" 4x4
Best durability performance
Country Russia
Average price: 500,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 4.9
Truly, an “indestructible” copy of the domestic automotive industry, worthy of the title of one of the most reliable cars with a mileage of ten years or more. The already hardy car, which has gained wide popularity and popularity since Soviet times, has not changed much in appearance over the years, but has become more comfortable, which is noted by many owners.
For all its shortcomings, including not the most economical fuel consumption and low maximum speed, the Niva has two very significant advantages. The passability of this miracle of technology was appreciated even by the captious British presenters of the Top Gear program, recognizing the Niva as the best car of the bygone communist era. The second plus is ... reliability! With moderate use, the “mini-tank” is practically indestructible, but even in the event of a breakdown, its repair can cost a regular set of tools.
Advantages:
- excellent cross-country characteristics;
- simple and reliable design, made to last;
- low cost and low maintenance costs;
- with mileage, the car does not lose in reliability;
- wide availability in the secondary market.
Flaws:
- not the best characteristics of fuel consumption and maximum speed.
The most reliable premium cars
3 Toyota Land Cruiser
Legendary reliability. High anti-corrosion resistance of the body
Country: Japan
Average price: 3,799,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 5.0
The legends about the reliability of this car are not fiction, but the very truth. The ruler of an eastern country once said something along these lines: "There are two trouble-free things in the world - a Toyota Land Cruiser and a Kalashnikov assault rifle." Confirmation of the catchphrase can also be found in the Russian secondary market - the prices for a used Land Cruiser with mileage (in normal condition) are about 1.7-2.2 million rubles. At the same time, the car will be at least 10 years old, and on the speedometer there are numbers exceeding the mark of 140 thousand km. If the integrity of the body has not been violated, then traces of corrosion on its elements simply cannot be found.
Of course, in order for a car to retain its reliability and performance for such a long time, it must be “fed” like an Arabian horse - only with the best product. Timely service and quality consumables, and nothing else. Engines (especially gasoline) in this brand of car are very strong and nursed decently before overhaul. It’s impossible to call this car inexpensive and economical, but with the right attitude, it can surprise with its reliability for a very long time.
2 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
The most reliable engine
Country: Germany
Average price: 10,365,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 5.0
Gelenvagen is a luxury SUV, one of the most popular cars of our time. Its reliability is legendary, but to understand this, just look at the prices of the secondary market. A car of this brand, released 10 years ago, can be purchased in Russia for 2-3 million rubles! Only Bentley, Aston Martin and Ferrari are more expensive.
Despite the serious mileage and used condition, the owners are in no hurry to get rid of their cars, because. even operation in the vastness of Russia (and our conditions are more than difficult) could not weaken the endurance and reliability of the Gelika. To do this, however, it is necessary to comply with a mandatory condition - timely maintenance and routine maintenance. Seeing a breakdown on the Gelenvagen highway (a punctured wheel does not count) is like witnessing a UFO flight - an isolated case in tens of millions. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class gained particular fame thanks to the engine - it is so thought out to the smallest detail and well-assembled. In modern models of this brand, the units are equipped with a start / stop system and the ability to turn off the cylinders. This allows us to consider Gelenvagen not only the most reliable, but also the most economical premium class jeep.
1 Lexus GS F
Best premium car
Country: Japan
Average price: 6,500,000 rubles.
Rating (2019): 5.0
The car is not for everyone, which simply has to be safe and reliable. The 2017 GS F is all about sporty passion and elegance, exuberant temperament and discreet superiority in every body line. The car evokes exceptionally enthusiastic emotions - the owners unanimously recommend the Japanese as one of the most successful premium cars.
Japanese craftsmen paid special attention to safety features, since there is no doubt about the quality of the assembly at the Lexus factory. Here is a complete list of elements of control over the “life activity” of the driver and passengers:
- ten airbags;
- traffic sign recognition system;
- auto blind spot monitoring sensors;
- adaptive cruise control, supplemented by an obstacle recognition system;
- lane change warning system.
The combination of assembly aspects and the abundance of sensors (each of which, by the way, works exactly as it should, and not when and how it wants) allowed the car to win the highest scores in the reliability rating.
Advantages:
- an abundance of control systems for safe driving;
- high-quality assembly, which guarantees a long service life of the car without serious breakdowns;
- combination of style, speed and low fuel consumption.
Flaws:
