I Explain Which Cars Are Most Reliable

Sunday, 9. November 2008

Looking for a reliable car has always meant that you must look in the direction of Japanese cars but following the annual survey carried out into company car reliability BMW has come out on top. The survey which sampled 881,000 vehicles leased by the top FN50 companies showed BMW to become the first ever non-Japanese company to top the reliability charts. Since the reliability charts were launched either Toyota or Honda have topped the charts for both manufacturer and model.
