Finally, which shows what car brands, produce reliable vehicles. Recall that the rating takes into account the reviews of owners of three-year-old cars over the last 12 months of ownership. What car brands became the leaders of this rating? Here are the top 10 most reliable vehicles based on the 2017 JD Power Vehicle Reliability Survey.
10) Jaguar
In 2016, it was included in the JD Power study for the first time. But, unfortunately, it did not make it into the final rating due to the small amount of sample size of the models. This year Jaguar brand as a result, it was included in the reliability and quality rating, immediately hitting the tenth line of the most reliable cars with a quality index of 144.
Over the past few years, Jaguar has improved its the lineup several new models. Including due to the XE sedan and crossover, which allowed the brand not only to enter the most prestigious car reliability rating, but also immediately take the prestigious tenth place in it.
9) Honda
Honda often finds itself in the top 10 reliable vehicles according to JD Power. This year is also no exception. True, the company fell to ninth place in the rating with a total reliability index of 143 units.
Recall that in the past year Honda ranked 7th in terms of reliability of its products with an index of 126.
Honda helped to keep the company's position Honda model Civic, which ranked second in terms of quality in the compact category. The result also allowed to stay in the top 10 most reliable cars Honda Pilot, which ranked second in its class, as well as the Honda Ridgeline pickup truck, which received the highest marks in the midsize pickup category.
8)Chevrolet
Like Honda, Chevrolet brand regularly already for a long time enters the Top 10 every year as the manufacturer of the most reliable cars in the world. This year, according to JD Power, Chevrolet company ranked eighth with a reliability index of 142, slightly ahead of Honda.
In 2016 Chevrolet ranked sixth in the ranking, also ahead of one line. This year, the American brand was helped to take a high place in the ranking by compact car Chevrolet Sonic, which received the most high rating in your class.
Also, the Chevrolet Silverado HD received the highest marks for quality and reliability among powerful full-size SUV pickups.
Chevrolet Silverado ranked third in its class.
7) BMW
Despite being ranked by JD Power 2017 BMW company looks much better brand Audi, it still lags behind its main competitor, . So in the current year's reliability rating, BMW has a reliability index of its products of 139 (139 problems per 100 cars), when both Audi company received index 153.
As a result, BMW takes 7th place in the ranking, which is a significant improvement compared to the 2016 ranking, where the German brand was 14th with a reliability index of 142.
But, despite the success, we would like to note that not a single BMW model has not received the highest awards for quality and reliability in any category of vehicles researched by JD Power.
6) Hyundai
Ranked second in the premium midsize SUV category. So Lexus became the leader among all the brands that participated in the study, receiving not only one of the lowest reliability indices, indicating the quality of products, but also collecting maximum amount awards for the reliability and quality of certain models.
Buying a used car is always a big risk: it is impossible to know for sure how it was used, what spare parts were installed previous owner and where he serviced the car. Of course, each car is an individual case, but we still turn to statistics by choosing the 10 most reliable cars over 10 years old using the rating of the German expert organization TUV.
10th place - Audi A2
There is practically no steel part in the body of this car. On the one hand, this is very good - a solid gain in weight. The car turned out to be light (895 kg) and economical. In addition, aluminum does not rust, and elements made from this metal absorb impact energy well. But there is also back side- body repair: qualitatively restore aluminum Audi body Not a single "garage" will be able to A2, however, most service stations cannot do this either - on each body there are 1800 rivets, 17 meters of MIG welding seams (Maschinelles Inertgas-Schweissen, " automatic welding in an inert gas environment") and 30 meters of laser welding. Of the inconveniences, one can also note the low ground clearance And small trunk- only 390 l.
But, if you still decide to buy, take a car with diesel engine, preferably with a volume of 1.4 liters. IN combined cycle it consumes only 4.2 l/100 km. Petrol 1.6 FSI is capricious and demanding on fuel.
The price of a 10-11-year-old A2 in Belarus is $9-10 thousand.
9th place - Volkswagen Golf
Volkswagen Golf IV needs no introduction: a solid reliable car that does not present its owner with big surprises. The most common and most reliable engines are 8-valve 1.6-liter 100 hp. and a 105-horsepower 16-valve variant. They can easily cover more than 300 thousand km. The main thing is not to forget to service it on time, monitor the amount of oil and not overheat the engine.
Antifreeze leakage from cracked plastic pipes of the cooling system and thermostat housing is a "disease" of this model, which refers to minor inconveniences.
There are no special problems either: it happens that the rear wiper motor breaks down, the front wiper trapezoid may turn sour, the brake light switch located in the pedal assembly may still fail. The suspension of the car is simple: MacPherson strut in front, rear, in front-wheel drive versions, a simple H-shaped beam, in all-wheel drive versions - multi-link. The service life of the undercarriage directly depends on the speed of passage through the pits.
The price in Belarus of a 10-11-year-old Golf is $7-10 thousand.
8th place - Suzuki Jimny
Baby Jimny is not as simple as it seems - this is a real frame rogue, which will easily give odds to many SUVs. The design of the jeep is extremely simple: a ladder-type frame made of a closed welded profile with tubular cross members, continuous axles, two-stage transfer case, which is connected to a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed via an intermediate cardan shaft, reliable three-lever spring suspension brackets.
The body of the machine is thoroughly phosphated, protected on all sides by plastic shields from mechanical damage, and the bottom is covered with anti-gravity.
The design of the car is very strong: the suspension will not disturb the owner of 150 thousand kilometers.
As for the engine, after 2001, a unit with a volume of 1298 cubic meters is installed on the car. cm, 80 hp - almost eternal, 300 thousand km will easily pass without much repair.
The price of a 10-11-year-old Jimny is $7-10 thousand.
7th place - Mazda MX-5
From the Belarusian point of view, this car is very impractical: a tiny glove compartment, a small luggage compartment, where two small bags fit. In addition, the contents of the trunk easily heat up from a nearby exhaust pipe. But this is a car for one or two people who have a minimum of luggage and problems. The simplest and most reliable in the engine line is a 1.6-liter engine, but there will be no special dynamics with it: it accelerates to the first “hundred” in 10.6 seconds. Therefore, it is worth paying attention towards the 1.8 turbo and 2.0 liter engines.
At first manufactured by Mazda The MX-5 has won over 170 awards and titles and has sold 870,000 copies. The car is listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the best-selling 2-seater sports car.
6th place - Toyota Avensis
It is expensive, it loses in price slowly - such a wording can be provided with almost any model under by Toyota. And Avensis is no exception. The car practically does not rust if it has not been in an accident, the electrical equipment is reliable, and the motors are durable, but not all.
There are certain complaints about the 1.8-liter engine of the 1ZZ-F series, which suffers from insufficient oil drainage and inefficient cooling of the piston crown. As a result oil scraper rings these motors lose their mobility in the piston groove already at low mileage. If you start the process, then the car will "please" with oil consumption of the order of 1 l / 1000 km, as well as increased noise in operation. Treatment known: replacement of pistons and piston rings or replacement of the "short block" assembly.
And diesel owners should be warned against buying Avensis, equipped with a 2.2-liter Clean Power diesel engine, which is very picky about the quality of diesel fuel.
Gearboxes - both automatic and "mechanical" - boast a huge resource, what to say, even if the manual transmission clutch can last all 200 thousand km.
As for the suspension, it is not uncommon for buyers of used Avensis with a mileage of more than 120 thousand km to receive a car with all native suspension elements.
Price 10-11 year old Toyota Avensis- $7-13 thousand
5th place - Toyota Yaris
Not the most popular car in our country - it costs almost like a Corolla, but much smaller in size. However, even passengers rear seats quite comfortable: all thanks to a little trick - the ability to adjust the second row of seats in length. True, if two tall adults sit in the back, then the trunk will decrease to an indecently small size - 205 liters. All engines, from 1.0 to 1.5 liters, are very reliable. In a car with a mileage of 100 thousand km, there will be no questions to the engine, after 200 thousand km you will only change the timing chain.
There are no complaints about the 5-speed manual transmission, even the clutch changes after 200 thousand km, but its colleague - mechanical box with an automatic clutch release system called Freetronic - does not please with reliability, thinks for a long time and often jerks the car. It is best to take a car with a 4-speed automatic, but such cars are quite rare - they were produced only for the American and Japanese markets.
Well, in the Yaris suspension with a mileage of 100 thousand km, as a rule, nothing needs to be changed.
Price 10-11 year old Toyota Yaris- $6-8 thousand
4th place - Toyota Corolla [^]
ninth Toyota generation Corolla is no longer the millionaire cars that it was before, but the car still pleases with its reliability. Interior trim materials are unexpectedly high quality and even after a run of 100 thousand km they are not overwritten.
Engines are still reliable, but with reservations. For motors of the ZZ series increased consumption oil for waste, diesel engines marked D4D are different expensive repairs, and the 1.4-liter diesel, on top of that, is afraid of overheating.
The mechanical box has retained its reliability, but the "robot" is no different. Owners of the M-MT should be prepared for the expensive replacement of the electronic control unit, along with which the clutch is usually changed.
As a result, against the background of classmates, the car differs only in the absence of problems with the electrics.
The price of a 10-11-year-old Toyota is $7-11 thousand.
3rd place - Mercedes-Benz SLK
Not the most correct representative of the Mercedes family - the box pleases with the clarity of gear shifting, just like in BMW, low landing, good handling. Not knowing what it is Mercedes-Benz SLK, it is difficult to determine which sports car you are in the cabin of. However, luxury interior decoration it is difficult to name, it is reserved in a European way. There are no special problems for spare parts, most of the parts fit from 124, 202, 210 and 140 bodies, while the maximum similarity with the 202nd is, for example, most of the suspension and even the steering rack.
The price of a 10-11-year-old Mercedes-Benz SLK is $11-13 thousand.
2nd place - Toyota RAV4
This car has, probably, only one significant disadvantage - it is still "feminine". Although this car has no equal in terms of reliability and unpretentiousness in its class. If "rafik" were at least a little more brutal, the male half would have doted on him. As such, there are no complaints about the reliability of the car, although there can be a lot of reasons for concern, especially "rafiks" of American origin. For example, they periodically light up check engine, but this does not indicate a serious malfunction - all expenses are mainly reduced to paying for the services of a service station to put out the light bulb.
Automatic and rare "mechanics" are also reliable, and the engine itself is often to blame for many automatic transmission problems: the engine control unit is combined with the box control unit, as a result of errors that have occurred in the engine block, affect the operation of the box.
The price of a 10-11-year-old Toyota RAV4 is $10-16 thousand.
1st place - Porsche 911
Quite rare in Belarus, the Porsche 911 is one of those cars that people don't get to take their kids to school or go shopping to the store. The element of such a machine is speed, so serious diagnostics before purchasing will not hurt. The body of the sports car has a double galvanic coating, the metal used is of high quality and durable, the electrician does not cause problems.
According to TUV experts, this is the most trouble-free 10-year-old car, but serious malfunctions meet with him.
So, the owners must change the candles in a timely manner - if this procedure is delayed, then the engine may malfunction, which will entail high repair costs. There are no complaints about the 6-speed "mechanics", but the 5-speed "Tiptronic" automatic transmission from ZF does not shine with reliability - it will have to be repaired every 50-70 thousand km and is not cheap. The price of a 10-11-year-old Porsche 911 is $ 24-30 thousand .
The reliability of a car is understood as its properties and ability to perform the functions assigned to it while maintaining the value of all established performance indicators within the limits that correspond to the conditions of use and specified modes. Vehicle reliability is a complex indicator that includes durability, safety, maintainability.
Given the fact that the car is mechanical device, which is prone to breakdowns, therefore absolutely reliable machines simply do not exist. In general, it is worth noting that the fewer problems vehicle delivers to a motorist, the more reliable it can be called.
In other words, the reliability of a car is determined by the number of breakdowns in it and the statistics of accidents. In addition to everything, the reliability of the vehicle must include the number of airbags and seat belts, good handling, impeccable response of the brake pads.
Separately, it is worth mentioning the European data regarding the reliability indicator. Europe unanimously recognizes increased reliability, above all, the Audi A4 sedan, followed by Kia Optima and Volvo C30.
Which car is the most reliable?
Despite the fact that cars have managed to win the hearts of millions of people around the world, many seek to buy not just an economical and modern, but also a reliable vehicle. However, it is no secret to anyone that perfect technique does not exist: mechanical parts tend to wear out and eventually break.
Therefore, experts from Britain conducted a comprehensive study, as a result of which they managed to find out which of the current existing vehicles are the most reliable. The study took into account such factors as the cost of repairs, the risk of failure and the reliability of the underlying components.
As a result, it turned out that cars produced by the Honda sub-brand are leading in terms of reliability. In general, cars from Japan were named the most reliable, and other Japanese cars were far from the last positions: Lexus, Toyota, Nissan. Wherein last place British Land Rover took the ranking.
Such indicators indicate that Japanese cars are much less likely than others to require replacement parts, break down and require repair. However, when it comes to repair, it turns out to be extremely expensive. But one thing compensates for the other: in addition to reliability, the Japanese can boast quite loyal prices for vehicles.
TOP - 10 most reliable cars in the world
The honorable first place, by right, is occupied by the well-known company Honda and its popular model Accord. This sedan is different acceptable cost and outstanding technical specifications. Therefore, experts recommend buying it even with your eyes closed.
Mercedes - Benz S - class. This model is the flagship famous manufacturer auto. This model belongs to the premium class. Despite the high cost, the quality of the car is impeccable, which is confirmed by numerous test drives.
In general, speaking about our roads, the basic criterion for the strength of a car is still its suitability for operation in the conditions of a domestic road. Therefore, in addition to the factor of reliability and strength, due attention should be paid to such characteristics as cross-country ability and clearance.
