car shopping part 1
ok i had capslock on when i started typing this and i startled myself, lol. i am. a bit tired and punchy. BUT. All hail my lovely middle-little sister, who volunteered to come take me to car dealerships last night.
Here are my extremely scientific notes on how that went, so that I can narrow down my car choices for definitely for sure:
1) Honda: we went to a Honda dealership, and my mom has a CR-V which I've driven and it's... fine, so I tried the HR-V, which is smaller. The sales guy immediately without asking was like "here you want this one" and had me test-drive a used 2020 model-- low mileage, nice car, but used. "Won't be here in a couple days tho, act fast," he said, and gave me his card. I'd told him this was the very first car of my search and I wasn't in a hurry. He didn't show me anything new, or tell me about anything new, but did say there were often quite long waits for new cars. Gotcha. Like, I'm not mad, but I'm also not going to pay $23,9 for a three-year old car when the current year's model is $24k. You know? I don't care how long the warranty is.
2) Subaru: we went because it was right there. Wandered around the parking lot. Crosstreks look... lower now?? somehow?? than mine? Much lower, don't know why. Specs said same ground clearance but. I'd have to look up what the specs were in 2014. Sales guy came out, asked if we wanted to see anything. M-L said I should try the Forester, so I was like sure, why not; one of the farm workers has a 2020 Outback I figured I'd ask his opinion on, and actually the part time veg helper guy has a recent Outback too, so there's no shortage of those around. So I test-drove a Forester. And like. I hadn't even got out of the parking lot and the guy was like, all casual, "so how's the visibility," and I really looked around and was like holy shit okay i can see through time so I really liked it. It was a higher-end package (had a huge sunroof, i actually really liked that, i'm a shallow bitch i guess) and kept trying to nanny me about leaving the lane on the winding back road but the guy reached over and pressed the button that disables that and it stopped yelling at me, which was great. Anyway. I did not expect that. M-L and I theorized about what kind of guy I'd be to be a Forester guy. "A middle-aged wealthy lesbian with a lot of large dogs," M-L said, and I was immediately depressed to realize that only one of those things is actually applicable. I have no wife and no large dogs. These are major failings of my life. But. I mean. We don't always end up the person we thought we'd be when we were nineteen.
3) Then we got to the Ford dealership, and a guy named Joey was like "ay what's up," and i listed the cars I was interested in and he was like "i can't get those or those but I got Broncos, let's go see one" and walked incredibly fast out into the parking lot without looking like he was hurrying, seriously it was eerie how fast he walked while looking like he was just ambling, and he led us to a "cactus gray" Bronco Sport, said "you wanna try this one? aight hang on" and went back into the building. I was like uh sure, we poked around the parking lot, and then he came back, handed me the key, was like "yah you two go for it, you know the roads around here? yah go see if you like it, I'll be here til eight." and off we went, slightly bemused. But yes, we were quite near M-L's house so she led us around a winding path. The Bronco's hood takes up rather a lot of the view out of the windshield. I raised my seat, which helped slightly. I could not find the right edge of the car and kept straying over into the shoulder. It was so boxy. The visibility out of the windows wasn't fantastic. But it had a lot of zoom and handled all right. Not terrible. I'm not a Ford Bronco guy I don't think, but I liked the Ford dealership folks, they were funny.
The sales manager came out and talked to me briefly and was like "well i mean how many cars are you looking for" and i was like "i have a spreadsheet" and he was like "a what now" and i got my phone out and showed him the spreadsheet Dude made and he was like "your guy is something else" and i was like "i mean, he sure is", and I did feel better about not being a wealthy middle-aged lesbian with large dogs if this is what I have instead but like. I mean. The road not taken etc.
"take notes," M-L said as we got home (after i bought her a sushi dinner bc there was a place right by the dealership and also i wanted sushi), and i was like "yah ok" but this is my notes. i'm sure i'll be able to make sense of them later.

Honda fuel pump defect affects thousands
Tens of thousands of Hondas are being recalled due to a fuel pump defect.
The federal transport department said the manufacturing error could cause the engine to stall while driving, or fail to start, in 52,051 cars.
All variants of nine common Honda models built from 2017 to 2020 are affected — Accord, City, Civic, Civic Type R, CR-V, Honda Odyssey, HR-V, Jazz and NSX.
“Due to an improper manufacturing process, a component within the fuel pump could swell causing the fuel pump to become inoperative,” the government recall notice read.

Evolution of Honda's Airbag Safety Features: A Decade of Dedication
There is an important safety feature of Honda's airbag system, by offering extra protection in the happening of an accident. Before talking about Honda's safety features, it is important to know how they have changed and become better over the years.
Beginning with the 2013 Honda Accord airbag system that was meant to make passengers safer. The airbags were put in the car so that they would have less of an effect in a crash. When there was a head crash, the steering wheel cushion was very important for saving the driver. This was a major turning point in car safety, and it shows how committed Honda is to keeping on the cutting edge of technology.
Honda still put a lot of thought into the 2014 Honda Accord airbag system. Adding airbags to the steering wheel made things even better and showed that the company was serious about making drivers safer. The focus on airbag technology stayed the same, and with each model year came new and improved features.
The 2015Honda Accordairbagscontinued to have a strong safety system. Specifically, the airbags in the steering wheel were improved to better protect the driver in the event of a crash. Honda's continued dedication to passenger safety was shown by the progress made in airbag activation and design.
The 2016 Honda Civic Steering Wheel Airbag took the airbag system to the next level. Focusing on making cars safer wasn't just limited to the Accord; it showed that Honda was serious about adding improved safety features to all of its cars. Customers liked this approach, which made Honda a good choice for people who want to make sure their cars are safe.
Honda made big steps forward in airbag technology by adding 2018 Honda Accord Driver Knee Airbag. This addition made a big difference in the general safety features, adding an extra layer of defense in some crash situations. Honda has always been trying to stay ahead of safety improvements, and the way airbags have changed over time in their cars shows that.
Moving on to the 2019 Honda Accord airbag, the safety system was still a big deal. With improvements in airbag design and release, the company's commitment to customer safety stayed strong. Honda made sure that their cars had the newest and best airbag systems, which was shown by the 2019 Accord. They wanted to stay on the cutting edge of safety technology.
Let's talk about the Honda CR-V airbag now. Like the Accord, the CR-V has a high-tech safety system that is meant to protect people inside during crashes. While that was going on, the 2019 Honda CR-V tail lights that made the car safer overall.
The 2019 Honda Hrv Airbags also had a more improved safety system. This model shows that the brand is even more dedicated to safety across all its different car models. Adding full airbag systems to SUVs like the HR-V showed that Honda was serious about making sure people were safe in all kinds of driving situations.
In the year 2020 Honda CR-V Headlights came out with better headlights. Headlights are an important part of a car's safety system, even though they are not directly connected to airbags. They help with sight and general road safety. Honda's attention on improving different safety features, like headlights, showed that they were serious about giving customers a complete safety package.

“Object” Assignment
My parents met on the Washington D.C. Metro – the Orange Line train. Years later, my brother and I would become accustomed to spending 24 hours on an Amtrak train headed from D.C. to West Palm Beach, Florida. In my teens, I forced my friends to pick me up and drop me off at the appropriate Metro station. I had a dormant license as my dad provided me with an endless supply of SmartTrip cards. I learned at a young age that cars were expensive, insurance was just as expensive, and teenagers could not be trusted behind the wheel. I would grow tired of arguing that, and I’d quickly run out of sources and statistics to support my point, which was that I could be trusted, and I was deserving. My friends were not good drivers. And my classmates frequently got into accidents, documented on the local news. My 16-year-old-self had no idea I would not receive my first car until age 23, nine months into the first year of the pandemic. By 2020, I had been living in Pittsburgh for six years, and I relied on the Port Authority (now Pittsburgh Regional Transit) to get me anywhere and everywhere. I had enough practice. And the system was smaller than the one I was used to. But I would soon find that this bus system was riddled with problems. The bus was frequently late and often a no-show. Sometimes, and infuriatingly, it would come too early. There was only one downtown location for obtaining and refilling a bus pass. When the pandemic came, I feared these buses more than usual. I refused to use them unless necessary and relied on my boyfriend and his Kia Forte to get me around. Then my mom called one afternoon. “Ron’s upgrading his car,” she said. I felt my face light up.
Wait, I thought. I don’t know shit about cars. Two weeks, and $5,000 later, I had a black, 2016 Honda HR-V parallel parked in front of my apartment. My first few trips were to the craft store. After that, the grocery store, then my friend’s places, then to the mall, then to restaurants, and even across the state and back. I started to enjoy traveling on my own schedule, picking up my friends, shopping at odd times, even sitting in drive-thru’s became almost “fun”. But when school and work resumed, I’d soon realize that I really don’t like to drive. By the end of the first year of ownership, I had been in two accidents, collected a wide range of parking tickets, fell behind on insurance payments, spent a fortune on gas, locked my keys in the trunk, then lost the set of backup keys. Having a car was starting to feel like having a child. The car provided me with only a level of privacy money could buy and at the same time, it exposed me to a world of new dangers. Being behind the wheel makes me think of all the many auto-related ways people die that I had never thought of before. A moment never went by where I didn’t miss and long for the train. The car operated on so many extremes; it expanded and limited the places I could go, it was safe and dangerous at the same time, and it felt like it either went very fast or very slow. I felt conflicted about this realization though because I had been asking for a car since I got my license at 17. I almost felt like my complaints had a tinge of privilege in them. I owned one car that was completely paid off, it was even black inside and out like I preferred. I had access to two cars, if you included my boyfriend’s. And in today’s economy, I knew a two-car household was considered a luxury to many people. Here I was, complaining, about having too much. Even though the act of driving irritated me, I recognized the importance of the car. And after owning it for only two years, I can’t imagine not having it. And maybe the reliance on it is what I resent – the conditions that forced me into driving. America was built for cars and planes, not trains. To an adult who grew up on trains, and religiously watched Thomas the Train, this was heartbreaking. But I love my car. It’s my first car. And I’ll never have another first car. I’ve customized it. I’ve stuck pins in the upholstery, stickers on the sun visor, and hung keychains from the rearview mirror. I slapped a Maryland crab magnet on the back next to the holographic license plate frame I bought for it from Walmart. There’s French Toast Crunch pieces lodged under the backseat, and a dent in the driver’s side I got when a lady hit me on a side street in Rosslyn, Virginia. My prized collection of fast-food napkins and masks stuffed in the glove compartment, expired library books in the passenger storage pocket, and my Animal Crossing keychain dangling from the rearview (it’s Blathers). It’s one-of-a-kind, an extension of myself. I can’t tell you how fast it goes, or how many miles are on it without starting it first. I’m not sure what kind of gas it takes, I just know it’s not diesel. It’s taught me a lot about the sanctity of life, and how important it is to be patient, and what people truly mean when they say, “DRIVE SAFE.” Every day, I remind myself it is a privilege to drive, although it’s treated as a right. There are (not enough) consequences to unsafe driving and the road is a communal space. It is to be shared, not ruled. Every day, I miss the freedom of the train and not having to worry about parking. Nowadays, I only drive three days a week. And that is more than enough for me.

For the last year or so, I’ve been ordering a lot of delivery food. Given the circumstances all around us, I’m sure you can understand why: my car doesn’t run. One of my secret pleasures is to peep at the cars that the delivery people drive to my place. Despite my own love of oddball shitboxes, I have still been conditioned by capitalism and the adversarial nature of Western civilization to evaluate the worth of others based on their job and their car.
Don’t get me wrong: I’m not jealous – or at least I don’t think I am. This is sort of like a test drive by proxy, in that I get to engage my curiosity about new cars without having to actually own one. What’s that 2013 Santa Fe look like after (checks phone) 2,419 successful deliveries of Thai food in the last five years? Who delivers pizza in a 2020 Mercedes C-class? And, most importantly, does my burger delivery guy still have the original factory turbo from his Mazdaspeed 3 lying in his garage and how big of a “tip” will it take to lever it from his grasp?
I’ll never actually operate most of these vehicles. Not only are they too recent, but some of them are in categories made up by increasingly panicked marketing departments that I have no interest in participating in. For instance, my mapo tofu was delivered by someone driving a Honda HR-V “crossover.” Have you ever heard of that kind of vehicle? Apparently it’s like an AMC Eagle, which I can dig, but with less cargo room. Pass.
I do realize that I could get more information, and also feel like less of a creeper, by directly interacting with the delivery people. Right now, though, for their safety and for mine, I try to keep our conversations brief. The faster they get done picking up the ziploc bag full of loose cash off my front lawn, the quicker I get to hear how that engine sounds revving up to the speed limit. If they hit the limiter, I leave a five-star review.

Mitsubishi RVR: the forgotten jewel
Words and pics by Michael Hozjan
In another lifetime I had a 1972 Dodge Colt station wagon. It was my first car with real heat (having had several Beetles before that) and it served my well, very well. Monday to Friday it took me to work and back, when spring came around you’d find me at the local drag strip on Friday nights going up against…and winning, anything they put in the other lane. On weekends I’d throw on a roof rack, fill up the back with building materials and head up into the hills to attack my new cottage project.
Why am I rambling on about a Colt wagon in a Mitsubishi RVR review? Simple, that Colt had a Mitsubishi engine and was the American version of the Mitsubishi Gallant. It was also was my first real exposure to Japanese engines, and it was bulletproof.
One thing I’ve always said about Mitsubishi products, “Great engines but loud cars as they lack noise insulation.” Well I’m pleased to say that after several years of absence behind the wheel of a Mitsubishi product, their entry-level SUV, the RVR proved me wrong.
Over 1.3 million RVRs have been sold in 90 countries over the years, yet RVR moniker doesn’t exactly come to mind on our shores when thinking about subcompact/compact SUVs and crossovers. That’s really too bad, because the little Mitsubishi has a lot going for it, including one of the best warranties in the industry, and with nine years under its belt, it has a proven reliability history, and is affordable!
Yes it’s got some noteworthy competitors in the segment; Hyundai Kona, Honda HR-V, Toyota C-HR, Nissan Qashqai, Ford EcoSport, Chevrolet Trax and the Jeep Renegade but the RVR betters more than one. Mitsubishi has upped the anti with this year’s model refresh.
The 2020 RVR gets a clean facelift from the front door pillars forward, including LED lighting and the new corporate grille. Chrome shark gills on the front fenders now serve as the basis for the side crease line while the rear has been reworked to give the RVR a more robust look. Likewise, the interior has been upgraded with new materials and colours, and of course the must have of must haves, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility via the standard 8-inch touchscreen.
Yes it still rides on the same RVR platform and uses the same engines that have been around since 2011, and yes the nine-year old chassis still offers a ride and handling that outshines most of the others in the niche market. Proof that Mits engineers were ahead of the game all along and holding true to the old adage of “why fix it if it ain’t broke”, and isn’t that a testament to a well thought out design, if it’s still clean and fresh nine years later.
Head office has shuffled their trim levels to improve its value proposition. Two front wheel drive models serve as entry points with the base ES starting at $22,998 and base all-wheel drive version (ES AWC) coming in at $25,298. Sadly the extinction of the manual transmission (another Mits stronghold) continues. I couldn’t have won all those races with a CVT!
Two naturally aspirated four-cylinder engines are offered, a 2.0L and a 2.4L. The first offers 148 horsepower and 145 lb-ft of torque, while the bigger one, only available on the SE AWC trim ($27,997) or higher, pumps out 168 horsepower and 167 lb-ft.
My top tier GT AWC (priced at a hair under $34,000), came with that bigger engine and the lockable 4WD system – a rarity not only in this size segment but with larger sport utes as well. Regular readers will recall that it’s one of the features I’m looking for in our replacement of the family X-Trail which too, has a locking system. Simply put you can switch from a conventional front-bias reactive system where the vehicle is front-wheel-drive, engaging the rear wheels when slip is detected, which ultimately improves gas pump stops. At the push of a button, AWC locks all four wheels for preventive all-wheel-drive.
The RVR’s cabin is roomier than most other subcompacts, with a panoramic roof adding to the airiness. Visibility is very good all around.
Whether we’re talking steering wheel mounted controls or dash controls they’re large, simple, straightforward and easy to use. Great ergonomics make it shine in a world where everything has been overblown and over thought, and of course you’re not paying for a rolling gadget wagon.
I did get pampered with the GT’s 710-watt Rockford Fosgate punch audio system with 9 speakers and the trunk mounted subwoofer. There’s 20 cubic feet of cargo space with all the seats in position and just under 50 cu. ft. with the rear seats folded.
On the road the 2.4 L moved the crossover about nimbly delivering smooth and linear power. Acceleration is decent as long as you don’t mind the CVT’s whine –turn up the 710 watts. The steering wheel mounted paddle shifters added to the fun factor. The chassis offers just enough stiffness to allow for some sporty antics and sooft enough to cushion washboard roads and city potholes. In fact it’s close to having one of the best rides in the category.
I averaged 9.0 L/100 km during my week-long ride with mostly highway driving. Hampered no doubt by winter warm ups and plowing through the powder.
If someone were to describe a vehicle to you as being affordable, built to last and fuel-efficient, equipped with all-wheel-drive and backed by an industry-best warranty, you’d be silly to dismiss it as an option, and the 2020 Mitsubishi RVR deserves to be taken seriously by those in the market for a subcompact SUV.
Yes the RVR has some well-known serious competitors in the segment. What do they say when you’re number two you try harder, well when you’re number five you’ll try even harder. Truth is Mitsubishi doesn’t need to try harder, at the risk of repeating myself, it already has an affordable fuel-efficient, reliability proven SUV with an industry-best warranty. The problem is getting the word out.
Consider yourself warned.
Price as tested: $33,998

My life experience with cars.
On February 10, 2020 I wrecked my very first new car. I was deviated! I have owned many cars since I turned 16. This was the first car that was mine from the start. I had 2 years with her before this happened. I just have been cursed from the very beginning with cars. My very first car was a 1990 Toyota Tercel hatch back. It suffered through bad mufflers, a broken back hatch window and a deer hit. It saw its nine lives. I then had a Ford tempo that had mechanical problems. From that I moved on to my 1st Oldsmobile Alero. The power steering pump went out on that and the rack and pinions. All that happened before rear ending a truck one day on my way to work. Eventually I moved on to a Ford Explorer sport, a Mazda millennia, a Ford Mustang, another Ford Explorer, and a Saturn. The Saturn was another car that lived 9 lives. It survived 2 major car accidents. The 3rd one did it in. I hit 2 deer with that car only 2 weeks apart. The 2nd deer was a 6 point buck. The antler of the deer went right through the hood of the car and whipped it up in to the windshield. I hit it going 65 mph. It totaled that car. I ended up with another alero. That car was like a Frankenstein car. It had been fixed so many times. When I finally got the opportunity to buy my first new car I took it. I did my research. I wanted an AWD vehicle so I went with a Honda HR-V. I loved it. It has always handled well in the snow until yesterday. I was coming home from work. The road conditions were slick from the snow we got the day before. I was merging off the highway when a car decided to slam on his brakes in front of me and I lost control of my car. I ended up in the center of the highway and I got t-boned and turned around facing the wrong direction. Most scariest thing that has ever happened to me. Thank god for side airbags. I walked away uninjured but my car was not so lucky. I am now waiting to hear if it can be fixed or if it is totaled. I fear the worst.

As someone that gets to spend time with about a dozen or two different cars at any given time, here are a couple of shots I've taken for modern infotainment systems that just do it better:
Look at the one thing these all have in common; they have both screens and buttons!
They've got clear, crisp, legible screens and big fucken buttons and knobs for everything you need! This is peak to me! This is how you blend tech and with absolute ease of use and genuine ergonomic user experiences!
And guess what? These are cars that are relatively new - maybe a year or two old! These are all model year 2020 or 2021 cars, starting from the Volkswagen Tiguan, to the Jeep Wrangler, the Toyota RAV4, and the Nissan Titan. This type of design makes sense for a tech-forward world, but the dorks at Tesla and the stark minimalists at Volvo would have you believe an iPad-but-slightly-worse is the ultimate center stack layout, and everyone is hopping on that bandwagon!
Bonus:
This is the center stack for the Lamborghini Huracan. And this is the one major screen in the car:
The fact that this totally inaccessible and overly complicated supercar is still more ergonomic than a regular ass Honda HR-V or every suburban family's Volvo XC90 is actually baffling to me. Like yeah, there's a learning curve to a lot of stuff in a Lambo or Ferrari, but I guarantee your muscle memory will have zero issue navigating the maze of buttons and switches on one of these versus taking your eyes off the road to try and hit the right spot on a touch screen or slipping and sliding through a panel of capacitive touch buttons.
It's literally not hard to design logical shit, just think about actually using it for more than 1 second instead of building a sequel to the Google Nexus 10 in your dashboard, dumbass manufacturers
another car opinion is that they shouldn't have touch screens

The UK’s most and least reliable new and used cars have been revealed in the 2021 What Car?
Reliability Survey from Britain’s leading new car buying platform and consumer champion. Feedback from more than 16,000 car owners was analysed to find the country’s most dependable 178 models and 30 brands, from nearly new cars to those aged up to five years old. This year, a record six models achieved a score of 100%: the current versions of the Audi TT, Mazda CX-3, Mini Convertible and Mitsubishi Eclipse Cross, and the previous-generation Dacia Sandero and Honda HR-V. At brand level, Lexus and Dacia models were hailed as the most dependable for new and used buyers, while Fiat and Land Rover achieved the lowest scores. Lexus gained an overall rating of 98.7% and none of its vehicles scored lower than 98.4%. Budget brand Dacia also impressed with a 97.3% overall rating, demonstrating that you don’t have to break the bank to buy a dependable model. In contrast, Fiat had the least reliable cars, gaining an 82.0% rating from owners, while Land Rover and Ford were second and third worst for reliability. Hybrids were rated as the most durable type of car, with an average class reliability score of 96.9%. The best performing hybrid was the Lexus NX (2014 – present), which managed a 99.8% score, while hybrid variants of the BMW X5 (2018 – present) were rated least reliable, with 89.7%. Luxury SUVs performed the worst in the study, achieving an average class rating of 88.8%, although the Porsche Macan (2014 – present) bucked the trend, managing a creditable 97.9%. The Land Rover Discovery (2017 – present) received the lowest score in this class with a 72.1% result. Owners were asked whether their car had gone wrong in the past 12 months, how long repairs took and how much they cost, with the overall score expressed as a percentage. Of the 16,328 drivers surveyed, 20% had experienced a fault with their car in the past year, with 85% of faults repaired free of charge. For 7% of drivers, the repairs cost between £101 and £500, while 2% had to pay more than £1500 to get their car back on the road. A third of cars remained driveable and were fixed within a day, while 25% could be driven but took more than a week to repair. What Car? editor Steve Huntingford said: “The UK’s used car market is currently booming, making it all the more important that people know which models will be reliable. With feedback from more than 16,000 owners, the latest What Car? Reliability Survey highlights the brands and models with the best and worst records. “Our latest study also shows that a high price tag isn’t always a guarantee of reliability, because some of Britain’s cheapest cars are among the most reliable.” Top 10 most reliable brands (cars up to five years old) Brand Reliability Rating Lexus98.7%Dacia97.3%Suzuki97.1%Hyundai97.1%Toyota97.0%Mini97.0%Mitsubishi96.9%Mazda95.9%Kia95.8%MG95.7% Bottom 10 most reliable brands (cars up to five years old) Brand Reliability Rating Fiat82.0%Land Rover82.5%Ford86.2%Nissan86.2%Alfa Romeo86.5%Porsche89.4%Mercedes-Benz89.6%Vauxhall89.6%Peugeot89.6%Jaguar90.1% Reliability results by vehicle classes (cars up to five years old) Hybrid cars – 96.9% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableLexus NX (2014 – present) – 99.8%BMW X5 (2018 – present) – 89.7% Small SUVs – 95.2% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableHonda HR-V (2015 – 2020) – 100% Mazda CX-3 (2016 – 2019) – 100% Peugeot 2008 (2013 – 2019) – 81.8% MPVs – 93.7% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableBMW 2 Series Active Tourer (2014 – present) – 98.8% Volkswagen Touran (2015 – present) – 74.1% Family SUVs – 93.6% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableMitsubishi Eclipse Cross (2017 – present) – 100% Range Rover Evoque (2011 – 2019) – 77.1% Large SUVs – 93.6% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableBMW X3 petrol (2018 – present) – 97.7% Nissan X-Trail (2014 – present) – 59.7% Family cars – 93.0% class reliability ratingMost ReliableLeast ReliableBMW 1 Series petrol (2011 – 2019) – 98.7% Mercedes-Benz A-Class (2018 – present) – 84.8% Electric cars – 92.9% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableNissan Leaf (2011 – 2018) – 98.6% Jaguar I-Pace (2018 – present) – 86.3% Coupes, convertibles and sports cars – 92.8% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableAudi TT (2014 – present) – 100% Mini Convertible (2016 – present) – 100% Porsche 718 Cayman (2015 – present) – 73.5% Executive cars – 92.8% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableSkoda Superb petrol (2015 – present) – 99.2% Mercedes-Benz C-Class diesel (2014 – present) – 80.9% Small cars – 91.9% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableDacia Sandero (2013 – 2020) – 100% Ford Fiesta (2017 – present) – 74.9% Luxury cars – 90.4% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliableBMW 5 Series petrol (2017 – present) – 96.9% Audi A6 (2011 – 2018) – 82.1% Luxury SUVs – 88.8% class reliability rating Most ReliableLeast ReliablePorsche Macan petrol (2014 – present) – 97.9% Land Rover Discovery (2017 – present) – 72.1% Read the full article
