    I remember how everyone hated Peugeot 407, my father bought one in 2013 an early 2004 model with 1.6 HDI with about 270 000 kms on it, we still own it, he wont change it, bcs of comfort he says and super low consumption, it has 440 000 kms now, no issues, never leaked and i abused the living thing out of it as my first car and nothing, just regular maintenance, changed clutch once in our ownership at around 330 000.

      Bmw is no. 8th in the top most reliable according to consumer survey, look it up. Audi and Merc are 26& 28... But there have been a bunch of bad engines from bmw, and expensive repairs on F10 or X5 for example, so you prob got one of those infamous engines... since 2014 bmw seems to have improved a lot. It all depends what you compare, even Toyota and Lexus are not as reliable on diesel engines, just gasoline.

      Question: Audi (as well as BMW and Mercedes) calls for oil changes every 10,000 miles/16,000 km. I realize not all reliability issues relate to the engine, but if someone changed oil every 5,000 miles/8,000 km as Toyota and other manufacturers recommend, would that improve the powertrain reliability? Oil is a lot cheaper than expensive engine repairs. (A former Nissan “Z” car engineer went a step further: he recommended oil and filter changes for performance cars every 6,000 miles, and a “dump and fill” oil change every 3,000 miles between full service.)

      Cars aren’t bought and owned the way they were in the past, they’re essentially rented for a couple of years and moved on. Manufacturers encourage this to increase sales (they don’t want you buying one of their cars and actually KEEPING it!) so they only have to build a car that lasts as long as the first finance agreement. Beyond that, it’s someone else’s problem and if it fails before the warranty expires they can always argue about it. Essentially, cars are now made to last 3 years, yet we keep being told how much “greener” they now are which is absolute crap. The greenest thing to do is build cars that last 200k miles at least.
      I’ve learned that whenever I ask myself why something is the way it is, the answer is nearly always the same: Money.

    In Australia we got a design just for us - the Leyland P76.

    Build quality was so bad they ended up closing the factory...

    SO GLAD you have Peugeot on your list as I have a 308. Whoo hoo! Made the cardinal sin of filling it with fuel with a HIGHER octane than recommended and even so it broke down after driving 10 feet! It drops more oil than Exxon so I can always find it in a car park which is great! French cars sell in miniscule numbers in Oz. I understand why now. After reading an edition of "Wheels" magazine some years back and then buying one I thought I was buying a good product. I wasn't...and I didn't. Thanks Peugeot! You used to build some great models (205 GTi, 504, 404) but now you build merde. I hope your company goes down the proverbial backyard dunny!

    The algorithm brought me here. Some of the brands you listed are not available in the US (happily) but, among those that are, IMHO, you nailed it. The otherwise inexplicable popularity of Jeeps is due to the desire of fat, old, bald men in bill caps to be considered battle-hardened soldiers ready for combat. Honest, that's it. If they painted them olive green and put machine gun mounts on top, they'd sell even more.

Datsun became Nissan, and then partnered with the French for the hardware? And all German cars now make plastic parts, to save weight, including plastic manifolds. Will they last 5 years? I drive a 1998 Holden Commodore, and it still runs like new. The climate in Queensland Australia helps.

    • @CarTrouble
      @CarTrouble  Před 2 měsíci +2

      The 90s Holden Commodore's were solid cars. Very similar to the European Opel/Vauxhall Omega donor car, but with proper, over engineered V6's and V8s, rather than the wheezy 1.8 and 2.0 straights 4s we got. Although we did get a 3.0 V6 but not as many sold. Your car is in the durability class of Toyota Camry and Lexus ls400, keep it forever!

    I had to smile as Volkswagen was not mentioned here! I recently purchased a Passat CC 2.0 TDi and I adore it, beautiful car! But arguments aside, I think much about how reliable a car is, this is about good timely maintenance schedule , proper servicing and periodic checks on service items. The reality is, any machine is only as reliable as how often you attend to its upkeep.

    I am sure you have your methods of compiling this list and I will not say it is rubbish, but I will offer my experience on one brand. I had a transport company for ten years and always had exlusively Fiat Ducato and Doblo, and for private use Grande Punto and Tipo. I (and other drivers) traveled Europe many times over with both the Ducatos and the Doblo and never had any hint of an issue, Doblo currently has 350000 km and is used privately without a fail. The Grande Punto once took me from Zadar (coast of Croatia) to Southampton almost without stops, it was a very unpleasant ride as the car was not bulit for such long trips but I had no issues whatsoever, the Punto is now retired with 300000+ km. The Tipo has 250000km and I am currently selling it because I dont need it any more but is still a very good reliable car.
    I just bought a Mercedes GLE, own it for two months so cant really say much about reliability (aside from one issue that I had) but overall I am extremely sattisfied with the comfort, driving, economy, ... The issue that I had is a glass between the windshield and the panorama roof shattering on its own (I found this happend to a lot of people, probably a design flaw) and I am taking it to the dealer tomorrow to see if the warranty covers it.

  • @anthonybrown4874

    Our Zafira was OK but thst lifetime warranty helped towards the end 2 air con pumps, clutch master cylinder, coil pack, water pump being the most memorable but if you can find a decent VX dealer you might be OK. Sons bought a Pug 308 against my advice as that wet belt engine has to be watched so far one breakdown fuel pump pipe detached and I reckon the DMF clutch will give up sooner than hoped nice spec car otherwise though. Had a few Fiat's over the years mostly OK but a thermostat housing with s plastic water pipe screwed into it was never going to end well with it becoming brittle must have saved a whole £1.50 at build.

    Well I have to say I've been extremely 'lucky' in my car purchases since 1984 when I bought the Mk1 Astra 2 door 1.3 petrol hatch second hand. Since then I have bought every mark, all second hand, from diesels to petrol, hatchback and estates, manual and to date, mk 8 auto, all second hand, some lasting over 130,000 miles and none have ever broken down. Sure, the mark 7 estate 1600 petrol estate did have a couple of minor issues, like the coil pack failing but all the others, over a timescale of 40 years, have been very reliable. I would suggest that because these cars are relatively cheap, people just get in and drive and haven't given a thought to regular maintenance.

    I am just a bit surprised that you didn't mention the 'wet belt syndrome' of many of the Stellantis/Ford/Opel/Vauxhall products. What a bad product! - And I am the happy owner of a Toyota Hybrid......

      Yes, the wet belt system is a nightmare. But for some reason didn't get mentioned in the owner surveys... Give it time I guess. Thanks for watching. 👍

    I knew going in that VW reliability was poor, but here I am going on 9 years on my Golf MK7 3-door running a stage one tune with zero mechanical failures so far.

    I had a 09 altima and it was ok. Bought it used and had it for 2years amd Didn't have any problems really. I got rid of it because I knew there were issues right around the corner. Traded it for a brand new sentra and that car was awful. I regretted buying that car almost immediately. My first car was a 87 maxima and that car could not be killed. That car had a ton of miles on it. I traded our sentra for a Camry se in 2018 and we still have it and it has been a great car. Ended up buying a tacoma less than a year latter and its awesome. I'll never buy Nissan again. No idea why I didn't buy toyota sooner. We have 5 toyotas now.

    Ford USA stopped selling the Crown Vic to the general public in the late Noughties. Production lasted until 2012 but exclusively for police and taxi fleets. The last batch off the production line was to fulfil an order from the Saudi police force in 2013. American police vary from place to place but the Crown Vic was largely replaced by SUVs, particularly the Ford Explorer in its Police Interceptor Utility guise. A minority of police forces still use cars, mainly the Dodge Charger, as inner city patrol cars but EVs are the next big thing with green-minded municipalities.

    Do you know what jeep stands for? The original jeep was a one off created by a government program for war. They called them GP for short. Over the years GP turned into 'jeep' very interesting. Top of the class!
