TOP fast police cars in the world Dubai vs Germany vs UK vs USA vs Japan
KatiePuckrik if it was rubbish, and if this survey up German cars highly on reliability, then I guess you have an explanation for the fact that the same survey had Japanese cars dominate the top ten of the last 10 years consecutive But I need to read up on this investigation and see how they are included in the total number of cars of a certain manufacturer in this statistic.
I'm just curious how it was calculated if they just added the absolute number of failures for each model without considering the relative market share of these vehicles on the road, the result wouldn t be very revealing and promote naturally nameplates that are sold in low volumes.
In addition to one of these manufacturers offer roadside assistance programs that allow owners to get a trailer without ADAC know If so, that could have an effect as well.
Since I do not read German, it is difficult for me to assess the credibility of the study, however, some interesting questions to ponder What were the average production dates for cars in the 2006 BMW A survey could well break least 1996 Toyota on the other hand, made the Japanese brands have a high proportion of new car design Even the new civic immune wasn t the first year of questions too, which is a break down a flat tire only significant mechanical failure perhaps the Germans are just offering more run flat tires Finally, what is the composition of the ADAC maybe the Germans are simply to provide better roadside service and therefore owners don t call ADAC what can I tell lies, damn lies and statistics.
In response to your many questions, I looked into that ADAC has published and translated some of them Yes, I know, I should get a life.
Oddly, the most frequent source of failures call for help is second most common problem is tires obviously not exactly the issues specific to the brand of ignition and electrical problems after a car battery problems with the engine amounting to about 8 fuel injection about 7, the cooling and heating 6, the fuel system also about 6.
90 models of the past 6 years, were included in the statistics The cars could not be included that have been made three years so mostly unchanged, and recorded sales of at least 10,000 units per year.
What the manufacturer's roadside assistance programs, as above Pch101 asked ADAC said that since essentially all manufacturers offer these statistics are not influenced by them.
If someone says, it all seems mighty shaky, then I might agree.
On the other hand, the ADAC results are not really against-intuitive for most of the losers are the ones I see most often along the roads, waiting for help Alfa Romeo, Decrees, Peugeots D Furthermore, the Audi A2 is a car I really miss because it was both advanced and a representative to be extremely reliable Basically, the top ten are very well made cars, with the exception of refuge Mini Me t the slightest idea how this fashion accessory ever had his note.
One thing to consider, at least, is that BMW has developed a more efficient and a roadside service for their customers at least in Germany, I believe it is at least one explanation and will show the media, citing statistics have become increasingly cautious and demanding while conducting additional research before screaming the conclusions of authors of statistics in their titles.
A real CSI index How long the average new car customers keep their cars you must take all leases, pension vehicles and the fleet of the list, but it could be done without a doubt.
A real Sustainability Index What percentage of cars are still registered wise after 15 years.
Steven Lang You have a point to point, but with all due respect even your approaches include much noise.
Average length of ownership depends very much on incentives and technical advances If I can get a new car for the same monthly payment for my current, and it consumes less fuel, then I would buy even if the current is fine.
Sustainability people keep cars that are durable, but only if they are cheap to maintain and repair There are some old S-class 20 Mercedes on the road here, but many older Golfs VW 20 This not mean Golfs are more durable, they are only the most economical guards.
And to base a decision on which car to buy on data from 15 years as hedge sounds to my ears.
Ultimately, we all have to work with incomplete information was used erroneous data, examine anecdotal evidence and depend on the confidence of a brand when we buy a car.
Another set of data that is popular here in Germany is the 100k 200k Magazines km test drive some models like hell for 12 months results, in most cases Japanese cars are beautiful, miserable and French and Italian Germans used to be seriously flawed with many electronic glitches and minor mechanical failures but expensive, but they seem to be improving rapidly Auto, Motor Sport just took a class Mercedes 100k without any repairs not provided, for example.
Maybe they have commissioned Due indicators that require Dealer diagnostic equipment to reset.
