What brand of car is more reliable. Rating of the most reliable used cars. The most unreliable car in the world - Kia Sportage

Buying a used car is always a big risk: it is impossible to know for sure how it was used, what parts the previous owner put in and where the car was serviced. Of course, each car is an individual case, but we still turn to statistics by choosing the 10 most reliable cars older than 10 years 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 a downside - body repair: not a single "garage" can restore the aluminum body of the Audi A2 to a high quality, 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 inert gas welding") and 30 meters of laser welding. Of the inconveniences, low ground clearance and a small trunk can also be noted - only 390 liters.

But, if you still decide to buy, take a car with a diesel engine, preferably 1.4 liters. In the 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 big surprises to its owner. 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, 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, solid axles, a two-stage transfer case, which is connected to a 4-speed automatic or a 5-speed one through an intermediate cardan shaft, reliable three-lever spring suspension.

The body of the car is thoroughly phosphated, protected from mechanical damage by plastic shields on all sides, and the bottom is covered with anti-gravel.

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 the closely located 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.

Since the start of production, the Mazda MX-5 has been awarded more than 170 awards and titles, with a circulation of 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 - almost any model under the Toyota brand can be supplied with such a wording. 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, the oil scraper rings of these engines 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. The cure is 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.

The price of 10-11-year-old Toyota Avensis is $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. Nevertheless, passengers are quite comfortable even in the rear seats: 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 - a manual gearbox with an automatic clutch release system called Freetronic - does not please with reliability, thinks for a long time and often pulls 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.

The price of a 10-11-year-old Toyota Yaris is $6-8 thousand.

4th place - Toyota Corolla [^]

The ninth generation of Toyota Corolla is no longer the million-plus cars that were 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. ZZ series engines have increased oil consumption for waste, diesel engines marked D4D are expensive to repair, and a 1.4-liter diesel engine, 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. Without knowing that this is a Mercedes-Benz SLK, it is difficult to determine which sports car you are in. However, it is difficult to call the interior decoration luxurious, it is restrained 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 - 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, their Check Engine lights up periodically, but this does not indicate a serious malfunction - all expenses are mainly reduced to paying for the 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 gearbox 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 it also has serious malfunctions.

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 .

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 what is 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.

The 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 must 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 is of course 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, as they say, stingy 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 state, 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 was in the basic configuration.

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.

When buying a car, domestic motorists pay attention to reliability, since the purchase is made for more than one year, and operating conditions in domestic realities are quite difficult. That is why they enthusiastically study the ratings of the most reliable cars designed for the roads of Russia. At the same time, each of them understands the concept of reliability in their own way, depending on the class of the car and their own needs. For example, a sedan cannot be reliable off-road, and a frame SUV is not the best choice for city driving.

It is by the criterion of reliability that a huge number of agencies and organizations offer reliable cars, building extensive ratings by year, class, etc. It is getting into the rating of reliable cars from the best specialists and authoritative publications is the best advertisement for any brand. To obtain the most objective assessment, a whole range of methods is used, among which the most commonly used are:

• questioning the owners of cars of different brands;
• various polls;
• engineering, statistical and other research;
• crash test data;
• testing in different conditions and modes;
• compilation of logbooks for a long time.

The information received is carefully processed, after which a conclusion is made about the reliability of a particular car. At the same time, the results of the study may differ in many ways, but they are very popular, bringing fantastic profits to manufacturers.

Despite the abundance of controversial issues, over time, certain criteria have been developed for the most reliable cars, which are accepted by both specialists and car owners:

1. Reliability in operation. This criterion indicates the amount of financial costs for car repairs during standard operation. But here you need to take into account not only this, but also the price, as well as the frequency of replacing consumables - oils, filters, etc.
2. Car durability. This is the period that the car will be serviceable, much depends on the quality of the body and engine, as well as the personal qualities of the owner.
3. Maintainability. Every car breaks down sooner or later. This criterion takes into account the cost and availability of spare parts, the possibility of their quick installation, as well as the elimination of all types of breakdowns.
4. Run duration. Many automakers declare a long mileage or a time period without a major overhaul. It often happens that the data of the automaker and the reality are very different.

There is an opinion that the combination of these characteristics is inherent only in cars of expensive brands. But this is far from the case - today you can find exceptionally reliable options in the middle and even budget price segment. Moreover, the lack of abundant electronic stuffing makes inexpensive cars regulars in the ratings of the most reliable and practical cars.

The most reliable cars A and B classes

A and B class cars are a growing segment of the domestic market. These cars are designed to drive in urban traffic. With compactness, they are quite roomy and maneuverable, equipped with dynamic durable engines.

1 Honda Fit

The upgraded Honda Fit is recognized as one of the most reliable A-class cars. The manufacturer offers four basic configurations, all of which have a roomy and comfortable interior. An adaptive suspension with sporty settings appeared on the car, so the car keeps the track perfectly.


Honda Fit is equipped with a proprietary security system, which is very important for a compact car. The car is equipped with a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with a capacity of 130 forces, which is achieved through a proprietary phase distribution system.

It is the power plant that is Honda's trump card, guaranteeing its phenomenal reliability, known throughout the world.

The car is equipped with a manual or automatic transmission and consumes about 6.5 liters per 100 km in mixed mode.

2 Chevrolet Spark

Among the most reliable compact cars is the Chevrolet Spark, the successor to the popular Daewoo Matiz. This small car has a roomy interior and exceptionally reliable suspension, and is one of the leaders in safety in the A-class.

A feature of the car is the Driver Confidence automatic braking system at low speeds, a rear-view camera, and an Apple CarPlay screen.

The car is equipped with a 1.4 petrol engine with 98 forces, which, with a mass of 1050 kg, allows for acceptable dynamics. In the database, the car is equipped with an exceptionally reliable five-speed mechanics, but now a good automatic has appeared that has made moving around the city even more comfortable. At the same time, the car consumes about 6.5 liters per 100 km, with proper maintenance, it will not require major repairs for a long time.

3 Mazda 2

Another extremely reliable car from the Japanese manufacturer, belonging to the B-class. The Mazda 2 hatchback has a KODO signature design, which makes it recognizable, while the body has increased rigidity, while being practically not subject to corrosion.

The layout is aimed at active movement with heavy city traffic, while the engineers tried to make the cabin as spacious and comfortable as possible, equipped with a 7-inch display and other modern gadgets.

The car is equipped with all security systems, both active and passive. It is equipped with ultra-reliable 1.5 petrol and diesel engines manufactured using SkyActiv technology. Diesel produces 105 horsepower, and petrol versions from 75 to 115 horsepower. Paired with a five- or six-speed manual or six-speed automatic, it consumes about 5.5 liters of gasoline per hundred, and diesel is even more economical.

4 Kia ​​Rio

The popularity of the Kia Rio sedan among Russian motorists is due, among other things, to its exceptional reliability. This bright representative of the B-class has an attractive design, a spacious interior and a roomy trunk. Modern electronics with a navigation system and traffic assistants make the car even more reliable.


The suspension holds the road perfectly, MacPherson struts are installed in front, and a not very comfortable, but very reliable torsion beam in the back. Engines of the Kappa and Gamma series with volumes of 1.4 and 1.6 liters produce 100 and 123 horsepower, respectively, consuming only 6 liters per hundred.

Experts note that the formed opinion about the unreliability of Korean cars is outdated and one of the most reliable options is the Kia Rio with a rigid body, a solid chassis and excellent engines.

Another popular Korean sedan Hyundai Solaris has similar reliability characteristics.

5 Toyota Yaris

For many years, Toyota has been producing some of the most reliable cars, and in the B-class segment - Toyota Yaris. This compact hatchback is great for getting around the city - it is a reliable, agile, dynamic and economical car.


Additional ribs made the body more rigid, which improved handling and increased safety in collisions. Additionally, the Toyota Safety Sense package is installed on the Yaris, which controls the emergency braking system, tracking road markings, sign recognition and switching headlights.

Vibration reduction is achieved through the use of special engine mounts and roll limiters when cornering, a new subframe has appeared. Suspension and steering settings provide a comfortable ride.

The most reliable modification is the Toyota Yaris with a 1.5 petrol engine with a five- or six-speed manual, versions with a CVT are more comfortable, but require more attention to maintenance.

The best C and D class cars

Cars of the so-called Golf class or C-class combine spaciousness and maneuverability, which makes them a good option for city driving. They are loved by young people and people leading an active lifestyle. The D-class includes large sedans and station wagons, with spacious interiors with a total length of about 4.8 m. They are designed for long trips with the family, with comfort and compliance with all safety standards.

1 Toyota Corolla

The Toyota Corolla sedan is one of the brightest representatives of class C. In addition to a memorable appearance and comfort, the car has a reference reliability. The galvanized body is not susceptible to corrosion, the interior is made of solid, wear-resistant materials. In the basic configuration, the machine has a minimum of electronics, which increases its reliability.

Corolla is included in the list of the most reliable cars with mileage from 5 to 10 years old.

Reliability adds a classic suspension with MacPherson struts in front and a rear torsion beam. At the same time, in terms of comfort, it is not inferior to more complex multi-link designs, surpassing them in mileage without repair. The steering and braking system ensures a dynamic and safe ride.

The most popular version is equipped with a 1.6-liter engine with 122 horsepower, consuming an average of 6.6 liters of gasoline. Other versions with 1.3 and 1.8 engines are not much inferior in reliability, but require more careful maintenance.

2 KIA Ceed

Korean manufacturers are gaining more and more weight in the global automotive industry and are beginning to offer exceptionally reliable cars. In the C-class, this is the popular KIA Ceed model.


This wagon looks quite dynamic, which compares favorably with classmates. The creators managed to make a rigid body, which had a positive effect on the dynamics and handling. There are no complaints about anti-corrosion treatment and paintwork.

The machine is equipped with a modern electronic package, which works stably and does not reduce its reliability.

The suspension confidently holds the road and does not require repairs up to 200 thousand kilometers. The most popular 1.6 gasoline engine produces 128 horsepower and consumes an average of 6.8 liters. With proper maintenance, it is designed for a mileage of at least 500 thousand km.

3 Volkswagen Jetta

The VAG concern is the ancestor of the C-class, so the TOP of the best cars cannot do without its models. According to many experts, one of the most reliable models of this manufacturer is the Volkswagen Jetta. This car was originally developed for the US market, but due to its characteristics, it is included in the list of the most reliable cars in Russia.


One of the features of cars supplied to the American market is the good anti-corrosion protection of the bodies, which distinguishes the Volkswagen Jetta.

The MacPherson front suspension is not satisfactory, the rear, depending on the modification, is multi-link or semi-independent, in both cases there are no comments on reliability.

The most popular option is with a 1.4 TSI gasoline engine with 150 forces. It requires regular maintenance, takes oil, but if you monitor its condition, it will not let its owner down, while it consumes only 6.5 liters per hundred kilometers.

4 Toyota Camry

One of the most reliable D-class models is rightfully considered the Toyota Camry XV40, whose average age is more than 10 years.


It was this modification that conquered the whole world due to its comfort, dynamism and reliability. With high-quality bodywork, traditional questions arise for the paintwork, but this does not affect the service life of the body.

Elastic and reliable suspension ensures smooth running, mechanical or automatic transmission is absolutely trouble-free, the car has no weak points.

The most reliable option is a modification with a six-cylinder V-shaped gasoline engine 3.5 for 277 forces, with a proprietary gas distribution system. It works perfectly in the most difficult climatic conditions, without breaking, subject to the maintenance schedule, consuming 9.7 liters per 100 km in mixed mode.

5 Volkswagen Passat

Another iconic representative of the D-class is the popular Volkswagen Passat in Russia. If not so long ago there were problems with the reliability of this brand, today it is one of the most reliable cars in its class. Built on the MQB platform, the car has become stronger and lighter, the quality of anti-corrosion treatment is very high.

Numerous electronic systems did not lead to problems, making it easier to control and adapt the car to a certain type of riding. To improve reliability, the electronic control unit was completely redesigned, and a parking brake lever was installed.

The suspension of the car has always been reliable, in Russia most often there are modifications with 1.4 or 1.8 TSI gasoline engines for 150 and 180 horsepower. Their modified versions are extremely reliable, consuming 5-6 liters of fuel per 100 km. There are no complaints about the mechanical transmission, and after the refinement of the DSG machine, its reliability has also increased.

6 Ford Mondeos

The TOP of the best reliable D-class cars invariably includes Ford Mondeo - one of the most affordable options in its market segment. This was achieved through the unification of the model range, which helped this manufacturer survive the economic crisis.


The interior of the car is trimmed with high-quality materials, the body is distinguished by increased strength and high-quality processing.

The suspension is made according to the classic MacPherson strut front and multi-link rear, it was designed specifically for Mondeo, distinguished by reliability.

The most popular modification is equipped with a 199-horsepower 2.0 EcoBoost gasoline engine with a SelectShift automatic. This arrangement has long proved its suitability for long-term trouble-free operation.

Top Reliable E-Class Cars

The E-class includes large business-class sedans - expensive prestigious cars that cost a lot of money even in the secondary market. In terms of size, they are invested in the D-class, but they are significantly superior in technical equipment.

1 Audi A6

In the reliability category, experts note the Audi A6 with front-wheel drive, there are more questions in versions with all-wheel drive, although they are not considered very “brittle”.


Traditionally, high-quality processing of a durable body is designed for many years of car operation.

The comfortable salon is made of high-quality expensive materials. Numerous electronic assistants make driving safer.

The car is equipped with a range of TFSI engines, the most popular of which is a 2.0 252-horsepower petrol with a seven-speed S-tronic transmission. Over time, this modification has proven its reliability and efficiency, consuming about 6 liters per 100 km in the combined cycle.

2 Volvo S80

The Volvo S80 sedan is a bright representative of the premium class, providing a comfortable ride, taking into account the difficult domestic climate. The Swedish manufacturer is famous for the reliability of its cars, as for the Volvo S80, both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions with a Haldex clutch.

Conclusion

The global auto industry continues to develop and the TOP of the best cars in terms of reliability can be significantly expanded. Nevertheless, we considered the most practical cars for Russia, the purchase of which, even on the secondary market, will not lead to huge repair and maintenance costs.

Today, many motorists track not only the reliability of individual models, but also brands in general. Based on this, they draw their conclusions when choosing a new car. One of the main criteria is brand loyalty - when choosing a new car from the same manufacturer. And here you can see the hegemony of Japanese automakers, according to various polls, Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Subaru dominate this list. Interestingly, a Korean manufacturer, Hyundai, also appeared in many surveys, but the Americans and Europeans lag behind in this regard, although in terms of reliability they offer excellent options for individual models.

Russian motorists, in order to find information about the quality and reliability of a used car of a certain brand, are forced to be content with the advice of acquaintances and friends, dubious consultations in a car service. There is no official rating of used cars in our country, but the need to obtain a reliable history of operation of various models, the number of revocable companies and breakdowns over a 3-5 year period has long matured.

To correct this gap in the necessary information, experts combined several foreign ratings of used cars and compiled their own rating of the most popular models on the domestic market. Based on the most popular American and European studies over the past period and the machines that showed the most impressive results. The study used materials from the following agencies:

• TÜV - German Technical Supervision Association;
• DEKRA is a German company that conducts technical inspections of more than 10,000,000 cars per season;
• ADAC is a German motoring club with 18,000,000 amateurs and professionals in its ranks;
• Warranty Direct is an organization from the UK that organizes information about cars received from insurers;
• Driver Power is another UK representative that collects data on vehicle quality through a survey;
• Consumer Reports is an independent American organization that uses information about car breakdowns through a survey of more than 500,000 motorists;
• J.D. Power is an American organization that studies the statistics of motorists' service calls, starting from three months of operation and up to three years of use.

For convenience, all the studied models were divided into categories.

1. Chevrolet Aveo (Sonic) J.D. power
2. Honda Jazz (Fit)
3. Hyundai ix20
4. Mazda 2

According to tests conducted in Germany, the US and the UK, the Honda Jazz showed the best performance, but this car, like the Chevrolet Aveo with the Mazda 2, is currently not imported into Russia and can only be bought on the secondary market. Hyundai ix20 has never been officially delivered to the Russian Federation, so this model very rarely appears in sales catalogs.

1. AudiA1
2. mini hatch

Both cars are quite reliable, but, unfortunately, their deliveries to the Russian market stopped after the crisis, so the supply of these brands on the secondary market is limited.

The best compact crossovers with mileage

1. Dacia Duster
2. Mitsubishi ASX
3. Opel Mokka

The most reliable used car class of small crossovers - Duster. This brand is common and loved in the Russian Federation, but when choosing a car in the secondary market, it is better to opt for models manufactured in Romania, the domestic assembly has its own characteristics. Mitsubishi ASX is considered a car that allows you to keep the residual value at a high level, but this model is not new in the Russian Federation.

Best Used C-Class Cars

1. Mazda 3
2. Mitsubishi Lancer
3. Toyota Corolla
4. Toyota Prius

Japanese manufacturers of golf-class cars are leaders in reliability according to the classification of European and US analysts. The leader in the UK was the Mitsubishi Lancer, which overtook all competitors, including in terms of low maintenance costs. For Americans, the preferred model, which is referred to as the most reliable used cars, became Toyota Prius, also on the lists reliable used cars in the United States, Chevrolet Cruze began to appear more and more often.

The best premium class C cars

1. Audi A3
2. bmw 1
3. Lexus CT200h
4. Volvo C30

This list does not raise any special questions, but the absence of Mercedes among the representatives is surprising.

The best used class C crossovers

1. Honda CR-V
2. Subaru Forester
3. Volkswagen Tiguan

Leaders of mentions among best used cars European analysts got Honda CR-V and Volkswagen Tiguan

Reliable used D-class cars

1. Honda Accord
2. Toyota Camry
3. Toyota Avensis
4. Volkswagen Passat

Despite the dominance in the ranking of Japanese cars, European brands of the premium segment easily win their rightful place in the list. Moreover, for five-year-old Toyota Avensis cars, it shows only 7.5% of breakdowns compared to 6% of the Volvo S60, although many experts attribute such a low figure to the assembly quality of the Japanese brand at UK factories.

The best models of the premium segment

1. Audi A4
2. Lexus IS
3. Mercedes C-class
4. Volvo S60

The leader of the list showed the statistics of breakdowns at the level of 5.6 from the considered thousand cars of 2011 production.

The best used premium crossovers

1. Audi Q5
2. BMW X3
3. Lexus NX
4. Mercedes GLK

The leader in this group was the Audi Q5, which is in the top ten of the absolute rating and occupies 4th place in it with a breakdown rate of 4.8% per 1000 cars. In addition to the leaders, very good results were shown by Volvo XC60 and Acura RDX.

The best brands of business-class models with mileage

1. Audi A6
2. bmw 5
3. Lexus ES
4. Lexus GS

The best large used SUVs

1. Lexus RX
2. Audi Q7
3. BMW X5
4. Mercedes ML

The list of reliable SUVs did not include the Porsche Cayenne, which is considered one of the most reliable cars, but, unfortunately, manufacturers from Germany could not keep up with the leaders of the rating, although the car is certainly worthy of laudatory reviews.

Leading Used Sports Cars

1. Audi TT
2. Mazda MX-5
3. Mercedes SLK

It turned out that the most popular sports car in the world is also the leader in terms of reliability among cars in this class with mileage.

The study will help in choosing a used car and to some extent dispel the myths and stereotypes that have developed among Russian motorists.

Not every motorist can afford to buy a new car, and after a few years of operation, until he, as they say, began to “crumble”, get rid of it. That is why many are interested in which car is the most indestructible and durable. It is one thing to change consumables, without this, nowhere, no matter how unpretentious the car may be, but quite another serious damage due to wear and tear of spare parts, the development of their resource.

We will try to compile a kind of rating of the most unpretentious, indestructible, durable cars, based on publicly available statistics and surveys of car owners. And since domestic and foreign ratings differ, we will consider each of them separately.

The most durable cars according to domestic users

On the second place is Volkswagen Polo. The German auto industry is generally in high demand among domestic motorists, being considered an unpretentious and durable vehicle. They rarely break down, and the cost of spare parts is almost the same as for our VAZs.

Kia Rio - Korean middle class, took an honorable third place in the ranking of the most indestructible cars. For a reasonable price, the owner gets a very reliable vehicle.

European rating of good cars

The most indestructible cars, according to Europeans, are different from ours. In the first place is Toyota Camry, which almost never breaks down, and therefore is very much appreciated by foreign buyers. Even a used copy is considered a bargain.

Audi A4 rightfully takes second place, with its most indestructible suspension. The price, of course, bites, but this machine is definitely worth its money, and it will definitely work it out. Therefore, if you have the necessary amount to buy an Audi, you can take it without hesitation.

The third place was shared between Volvo and Mercedes-Benz, and not some specific models, but all the cars of these automakers. Although it must be confessed, the maintenance of these prestigious cars is expensive.

The worst cars

General opinion

Well, since we touched on the topic of reliability, it would be quite appropriate to mention the worst, often breaking cars. Here we will also operate with publicly available information, and do not pretend that everything published is true. Below we provide a list of the most broken cars, frequent visitors to car services and service stations.

The first place in the list of the most breaking cars is occupied by the British Rover SityRover. The careless build quality of this brand quickly made itself felt, which led not only to the disappearance of this car from car dealerships, but also to the complete collapse of the manufacturer itself. To date, such a company as the Rover company does not exist.

No matter how strange it may sound, the next on the list is the notorious Honda Civic 2012 in our country. In our country, this car is considered reliable and economical, while Western experts unanimously say that it cannot be worse. Terrible handling, poor noise insulation and interior trim, led this model to second place in the list of the least reliable cars.

The Dodge Grand Caravan has gained notoriety due to frequent electrical breakdowns, poor handling, and poor interior build quality.

TUV List (International Expert Organization)

But besides the opinion of the people, there are also expert ones, for example, from such organizations as the German ADAC and TUV.

The TUV list is as follows:

• Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara
• Hummer H3
• Jeep Liberty Sport
• Chevrolet Aveo LS
• Dodge Nitro SLT
• Toyota FJ Cruiser
• Toyota Yaris
• Suzuki Forenza
• Jeep Patriot Limited
• Chevrolet Trail Blazer LT

Whether to trust the opinion of the organization, whose direct duties include technical inspection of cars, everyone decides for himself, but in the automotive world, the opinion of these experts is taken into account.

ADAC (German Automobile Club)

The ADAC automobile club has compiled its list, which included:

1. Smart Fortwo was the worst because of the eternal problems with electronics, the high cost of spare parts and repairs.
2. Chevrolet Matiz distinguished itself by a weak suspension, damage to which can happen even after hitting a small pothole.
3. The Honda Jazz (Fit) has many electrical deficiencies.
4. Fiat Punto failed to properly organize the cooling and air conditioning system. And if the second one can somehow be survived, then overheating of the engine is a very unpleasant phenomenon, and can lead to very expensive repairs.
5. Hyundai i20 did not bring to mind the EUR, automatic transmission and suspension.
6. Hyundai i30 could not pass crash tests, which is why it fell into the rating of unreliable cars.
7. Peugeot 308 is famous for the same weakness of the suspension and electronic stuffing.
8. Seat Ibiza / Cordoba, like the car from the first line, glorified itself with unreliable electronics and high repair costs.
9. Volkswagen Eos sins with the poor performance of the machine and electronics.
10. Ford Mondeo is not properly fueled, which leads to malfunctions.

On our own, we can only add that before buying a car, it makes sense to turn to several sources, and on the basis of the information received from them, make your choice in favor of one or another.
