Each year, the TÜV carried out an investigation into the reliability of cars. The German institute notes this year on that especially cars from Japan and domestic market Germany score well.

For the French and Italian models takes the unfortunately not so good. In no one of the five top 10 lists that the TÜV synthesized, a car from these countries. In the age of two to three years old is the Opel Meriva, for the second time as the most reliable choice out of the bus. The Mazda 2 and the Toyota IQ follow on place two and three. A young Dacia Logan is a bad idea according to the TÜV. The budget-drive finished last, behind the Citroën C4 and Fiat Panda.

A reliable car with already some years of experience need? Go for a Toyota Prius! Something you don’t fast out of our mouth, but according to the Germans, however, the most responsible means of transport is at the age of four to seven years old.

No sense in such a Muesli-bake? Then you are not a bad buy on a Porsche 911 or Cayenne, which are in different age groups score well. If you choose a kleuterende Citroën C4 or Dacia Logan, we advise you a breakdown abonnementje. Among the oldies are the Fiat Doblo and Stilo, the Chrysler PT Cruiser, Ford Galaxy and the Mercedes M-class does not go-getters. A solid car is between six and ten years old really is a Toyota or Porsche.
