Top 10 reliable cars. What are the most reliable cars

Every car enthusiast wants not just to be the owner of “ iron horse», But also have a durable and trouble-free vehicle. Currently the most reliable cars produced by various companies from countries such as Germany, Sweden, USA, Japan and others. It is about these very cars that will be discussed in this article.

How the degree of reliability is determined

The reliability of a vehicle is understood as the property to perform its functions, while maintaining the established performance indicators within the limits of the conditions of use. This is a complex property consisting of the following criteria:

• Durability - the vehicle must always be on the move, regardless of mileage and year of manufacture. Shows how long the vehicle can be operated with regular and high-quality maintenance.
• Reliability - resistance of parts, assemblies and mechanisms to destructive effects. This takes into account such a factor as the constant operation of the vehicle, as well as the timely replacement of consumables.
• Maintainability - the ability to prevent and detect the causes of failures and maintain an operable state through maintenance and repair. If breakdowns occur, then the manufacturer should provide for the possibility of them quick way elimination.
• Safety - the car is obliged to maintain performance indicators during and after the storage and transportation period.

The reliability of a car decreases as parts and mechanisms wear out, as the likelihood of failure of each subsequent unit increases. It can be assumed that all new cars can be considered reliable, but this criterion decreases over time. The material presents vehicles that, over time and operation, are able to maintain their previous properties, that is, have a minimum degree of wear. To determine the highest quality cars, the following criteria are taken into account:

1. Owner reviews;
2. Research;
3. Crash tests;
4. Tests in harsh conditions.

What are the most reliable car brands in the world

Before presenting the rating of the most reliable cars, it is necessary to identify the top car brands that have high rates of this characteristic. These are auto manufacturers from different countries, which have been producing vehicles with high indicators of maintainability, safety, durability and reliability for many years.

The competition among the leaders of the global automotive industry is colossal, and every year it becomes more and more difficult to name a real leader in terms of reliability

1. The first place in the rating is occupied by the Japanese brand Toyota. This brand produces vehicles with a different body - pickups, crossovers, hatchbacks, sedans and SUVs. Toyota cars combine high quality and affordable cost. The Japanese really know how to make high quality parts, so they don't need to purchase fixtures of German or American origin.
2. Second place goes to another Japanese lexus brand... In most ratings, this brand even occupies a leading position, but in the price-quality ratio, they are somewhat inferior to Toyota. In just five years, Lexus cars were able to rise from the bottom and take the lead. This proves once again that the Japanese really know how to make cars.
3. The third place can rightfully be given to the Japanese brand Honda. For a while, this brand was supplanted by the American rival Ford, but the Japanese are not giving up, and today the Honda brand takes a leading position. Honda cannot overtake its compatriots, but it's only a matter of time. The Japanese took a course on build quality, and refused to cooperate with suppliers with an unreliable history.
4. The fourth position in the rating is occupied by the American concern Ford. The brand has been famous for its cars for more than a dozen years. The recent update of the Focus model has had a positive impact on strengthening its position in the ranking.
5. The fifth position of the rating was fixed dodge... Many may argue with the brainchild of the Chrysler group, but thanks to its Charger and Dart models, it is worthy ahead of the Subaru and Nissan brands.
6. Sixth place goes to American chevrolet, belonging to the group General Motors. The quality of Chevrolet cars over the past five years is noteworthy. Chevrolet's Cruze and Silverado have received dramatic improvements over the 2000s.
7. Japanese ranked seventh nissan brand, which for a long time lost to brands such as Subaru, Toyota and Honda. Nissan is ahead of Subaru, but it has not yet been possible to bypass the brands Honda and Toyota. The most popular models of this brand in Russia are Teana and Sentra.
8. The eighth position is occupied by the Subaru brand of Japanese origin. Subaru cars have high durability rates. At the moment, Subaru cars that were produced more than 10 years ago are used on the roads. It was this factor that influenced the assessment of this brand in a positive direction.
9. In the ninth position in the ranking is the American-origin GMC brand. Car owners american brand General Motors praises them for being inexpensive maintenance compared to competing brands. Most of the parts from Chevrolet fit GMC.
10. The tenth place is occupied by the Japanese brand Mazda. The concern has long been famous for the durability of its cars. The second advantage of this brand is the cheapness of a used car with a mileage of over 100 thousand km. Versatile vehicles that combine quality, reliability and affordable cost.

Leaders by class

Now let's look at the model leaders. Let's divide our rating into classes, in which three best car models will be presented.

Passenger cars A and B class

The following brands and models of cars are leaders in this segment:

1. Honda Jazz or Fit. In 2007, this model has undergone major changes that directly affect the reliability of the car. In 2013, the third generation Honda Jazz was introduced. Family style, spacious salon and ergonomic design are the main trump cards of the car, however, it was recognized as reliable due to its technical indicators.

   

2. Chevrolet Aveo is a car of the American concern, the production of which began in 2002. The car has passed three generations, which has a positive impact on its safety, comfort and reliability characteristics. This model is based on two gasoline engine, the capacity of which is 110 and 115 horse power.

   

3. Mazda 2 is a Japanese-made car, which has always been famous for the reliability of the internal combustion engine. The engine on the Mazda 2 is recognized as reliable even despite its gluttony (6.3 liters per 100 km on the highway and 10 liters in the city). The problem of this car was once low adaptability to frost, since already at a temperature of -20 there were problems with starting the engine. The motors of the second and third generations of Mazda 2 are devoid of these shortcomings and are among the most reliable in their category.

   

Middle class C

In this category, there was an active struggle for a place in the top three, as many brands produce quality cars middle class. After careful analysis, the following leaders were identified.

1. Toyota Corolla is a Japanese brand that has enjoyed great success among customers for 40 years. It is worth noting the high indicators of the car's corrosion resistance, which is due to zinc spraying, the layer of which is 5-15 microns. The car does not have an excessive amount of electronics, which undoubtedly allows it to win in terms of reliability. In the case of modern maintenance, cars with a mileage of up to 200,000 km are considered practical new. On average, the engines run over 400,000 km.

   

2. Toyota Prius is another model of the Japanese concern with a breakdown index of 2.34 per 100 cars. It is also worth noting that Toyota Prius held a leading position in terms of reliability in all years of its production. The fuel consumption of this car corresponds to the level of diesel engines, and high indicators of durability and maintainability take the vehicle to an honorable second place.

   

3. Mazda 3 is a car produced since the beginning of 2003. The reliability of the unit has been determined for years, since for many years this model has shown fairly high indicators of maintainability and safety. The Mazda 3 sports car, thanks to its dynamics, ease of control and maneuverability, is perfect both for driving in the city and beyond.

   

It should be noted that all the models presented are products of the Japanese car industry. It was Japanese cars that conquered the market, and have been occupying a leading position for five years.

Reliability leaders in class D

Class D includes big carsthat are meant for family travel. The length of such cars is from 4.5 to 4.8 meters, and the trunk volume is up to 400 liters. The most reliable vehicles in this segment are:

1. Volkswagen Passat is a car of the German brand, which got rid of the status of an unreliable car quite recently and has already earned an honorable first place in its category. In the seventh version of the Passat, most of the flaws have been eliminated, however, based on previous experience, buyers do not actively prefer this model. In the car, the control unit, the rear caliper mechanism were replaced, and the usual lever was returned. parking brake instead of a button.

   

2. Toyota Avensis - in class D, it was also not without a representative of the Japanese car industry. Avensis is available in three bodies, but it is the sedan that has gained great popularity. This car is built to work, which is proven by their many years of service. There are practically no drawbacks of this car brand, with the exception of the gluttony of oil, from which the models released before 2005 suffered. Of course, breakdowns are also detected on modern models Avensis, but these breakdowns are minor and have nothing to do with the internal combustion engine.

   

3. Honda Accord is another japanese car, which received the status of the most reliable vehicle in class D. The car has a sporty aggressive appearance for which it is called the Japanese BMW. However, the Honda Accord deserves positive reviews not because of its beauty, but because of its high reliability coefficient. In the eighth generation of the Honda Accord, the lack of corrosion instability and the unsatisfactory quality of the paintwork, as was characteristic of the seventh version, were eliminated.

   

Crossovers

The following car brands are recognized as reliable crossovers:

1. Mitsubishi ASX is an urban crossover built on the Outlander platform. In Japan, the first crossover model came out in 2010. The owners of the ASX with the basic configuration of the engine noted the emerging problems with starting the engine: the start occurs from the second or third time. There were also problems with squeezing oil through the dipstick and oil seals in frosts above -30 degrees. However, these shortcomings were inherent in cars of the first generation before 2012 and only for gasoline units volume of 1.6 liters, and restyled models similar problems do not possess.

   

2. The Dacia Duster is a budget crossover that comes in two variants with front and full drive systems. This is not only a reliable, but also an inexpensive and versatile vehicle designed for movement both in the city and off-road. Outwardly, it is very difficult to say that this crossover belongs to the category of budget models, however, having visited the salon, you can be convinced of the simplicity of the car.

   

3. Opel Mokka is a German crossover that is popular among European youth. The crossover has a recognizable appearance, which is emphasized by the large cells of the radiator grille, as well as large headlights. The interior materials have a distinctive and expensive look, but in reality they are not. The car is produced in two variations with petrol and diesel engines. Both types of motors show nice results durability, reliability, maintainability and safety.

   

SUVs

Among the SUVs that hold leading positions in reliability, the top three should be noted.

1. Toyota Land cruiser 200 - legendary SUV constantly being the leader in this category. The reliability of the car is due to the frame structure and powerful engines V8 with volumes from 4.5 to 5.7 liters. Unlike its younger brother Land Cruiser Prado, this model collected in Japan and then brought to car dealerships in our country.

   

2. The Audi Q7 is an SUV that first rolled off the assembly line in 2006. The body of an SUV is treated with anti-corrosion materials, so it is almost impossible to meet a rotten car. A big drawback that does not affect reliability is the location of the battery in the car under the driver's seat. To replace it or charge it, you need to contact a car service.

   

3. The BMW X5 is a German SUV that was released in 1999. At the heart of the car are features such as build quality, electronics precision, and material reliability. This is a comfortable car that will never let you down on the road. Since 1999, the SUV has been constantly modernized, which allowed the Germans to take a leading position in terms of the main criterion - reliability. The SUV is available with petrol and diesel units.

   

Business class or E-class cars

In the business segment, there was also a stubborn struggle, as many models of German, Japanese and American origin applied for a position in the top. The winners are:

1. Audi A6 is a business class car from Germany, which is available with front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The body panels of the A6 are made of aluminum, which allowed the developer to benefit from the weight of the car. Aluminum was also used for the suspension and chassis. Despite the use of soft metal in the structure, the car has proven its reliability due to its high maintainability, reliability and durability.

   

2. BMW 5 is another German car that has taken the leading position among business class cars. This is one of the oldest cars in our top. Its first release was in 1972. 5 Series cars have now reached their seventh generation and have been recognized as the most reliable in their category due to their high technical performance. The BMW 5 Series 6 generation has been produced since 2009 in 4 body types: sedan, fastback, station wagon and sedan with an increased wheelbase.

   

3. Lexus GS is a Japanese car, recognized as one of the most reliable business class cars. However, despite the prestige of the brand, Lexus has not gained much popularity. One of the reasons was the small selection of engine types. The third generation Lexus GS was introduced in 2004 in Detroit. Lexus faced serious German rivals in 2005, but managed to hold out. The car has a presentable appearance, wide wheel base, as well as considerable fuel consumption, so a hybrid version is offered for those who like to save money.

   

The most reliable Russian-made cars

What is the most important thing when buying a car for a Russian citizen? Of course, a high ratio of the price-quality indicator. No one wants the purchased car to require constant visits to a car service and at the same time have a high cost. To compile the rating, reviews of the owners of Russian cars were collected, which made it possible to choose the top three.

1. The leading position of reliable Russian cars is occupied by Lada Kalina. The reason for getting the first place is precisely the unique value for money. This is one of the best-selling cars in Russia that an average citizen of the country can afford. The car meets the requirements of reliability - the appropriate suspension for russian roads, low fuel consumption and high-quality transmission.

   

2. Chevrolet Niva - great option for Russian citizens, which combines a high degree of comfort and cross-country ability. The SUV is suitable not only for city roads, but also for off-road driving. The four-wheel drive SUV is equipped with an 80 horsepower engine with a volume of 1.7 liters.

   

3. Lada Largus is a station wagon that is no less in demand for russian marketthan the previous two models. Lada has a pleasant appearance, and its interior is suitable for both personal and commercial use. This family car will not let you down under any circumstances.

   

Low-cost used cars costing up to 500 thousand rubles

Consider the top 3 aftermarket vehicles that are affordable. Such cars will be of interest to many motorists who do not have the opportunity to purchase a car more expensive than 500 thousand rubles.

1. For 500 thousand rubles in Russia, you can buy a used Suzuki Grand Vitara, which is a completely reliable and safe car... Among the advantages of the all-wheel drive Suzuki are low consumption, agility on the road and economy.

   

2. Mitsubishi Lancer X is the undisputed leader of the Japanese car industry, a used model of which can be bought for 500 thousand rubles. The car has been discontinued, so there can be no talk of a new car. Mitsubishi has enough advantages to buy not new car domestic production, and a second-hand Japanese: comfortable handling, convenience for the driver and passengers, spacious interior, road stability, and high ground clearance. If the car is well maintained, then even a used model will serve you for at least 10 years.

   

3. Toyota Yaris is another model of Japanese origin that has a high degree of reliability. This small car has such advantages as comfort, maneuverability, as well as the presence of a high degree of interior noise insulation.

   

New car models up to 750 thousand rubles

1. The first place in the ranking is occupied by Hyundai Solaris, as it is not only the most reliable, but also the most popular car in Russia. The optimal complete set of the car can be bought for 700 thousand rubles. In addition, there is a Solaris on sale at a price of 650 thousand rubles, but there will be no air conditioning in the cabin. Otherwise, this is the first foreign-made car designed for the average Russian citizen.

   

2. The second position in the rating is occupied by VW Polo, which is assembled in Russia. The suspension and clearance of the car meet all the requirements of Russian roads. The engine sizes are 1.4 and 1.6 liters. The basic cost of the car starts from 600 thousand rubles.

   

3. An honorable third place goes to another Korean-made model - Kia rio... Basic equipment with a manual transmission and a 1.4-liter engine will cost 700 thousand rubles. The car is ideal for Russian roads and is famous for its high noise insulation. The dynamics of the car allows you to feel great both in the city and outside it.

   

The leaders of reliable cars are constantly changing, but this material contains a rating based on feedback from car owners and popularity trends. Reliability is one of the most important indicators that every buyer seeks to obtain when purchasing any car. Practice shows that in new cars, many flaws are increasingly common. This is due to the fact that manufacturers are pressing on the fact that the car should be operated for no more than 5 years, after which it should be sent for recycling.

In the society of disposable phones, cars, and people, few people know what a good car is. The iron friend becomes a consumable that needs to be bought on time and from which it is necessary to get rid of on time, about five years later. In this rating there are only cars with a soul, character, albeit sometimes with a bad one. At the same time, their cost is not very high now, any car from this list can be bought for relatively little money. We are talking about sedans of different classes, but they are united by reliability, popularity among the people and other features. We present you the top best cars, and so off we go.

Top 15 Most Reliable Used Cars

Car safety rating - a set of the most reliable vehicle based on the current year. This includes top brands that have successfully passed a series of tests and established themselves with the best side according to consumers. As part of the publication of official data, publications are guided by customer reviews, quality index, as well as research results. We present to your attention the Top 10 most reliable car brands in 2018, based on the database from the JD Power agency.

Top 10 most reliable cars for 2018

10

The company was officially founded in 1922. It is currently ranked 10th in the 2018 ranking for vehicle reliability. Cars of this brand differ high quality assembly, the presence of wear-resistant materials, well-thought-out security systems. Experts have estimated the quality index of the Jaguar brand at 144 points. It should be added that the manufacturer's lineup is regularly updated with new high-quality SUVs family cars and sports cars. The premium segment deserves special attention, embodying elegance with powerful technical characteristics. However, all Jaguar cars are reliable and durable.

Honda

Another reliable car company, models of which are distinguished by the presence good systems security. If a few years ago it was believed that the Germans took the lead in the safety rating of cars, today more and more motorists are leaning towards the Japanese. This is easily explained by a significant increase in the model range, among which there are many safe SUVs, crossovers, sedans. The company not only produces new high-quality cars, but also modernizes old models.

Fairly reliable brands of cars were released by Chevrolet in 2018. The index is 142 units. However, this is not at all an acceptable result, because compared to last year, the indicators have significantly deteriorated. For a long time this company has no competitors in the United States, but in the general top positions are falling. Nevertheless, the corporation is developing, new branches are purchased all over the world, technologies and jobs are provided. Perhaps the company is preparing to release a new line of premium cars, so all forces are directed in the other direction. However, all Chevrolet models are safe!

Bmw

Surely, many motorists would be surprised not to see BMW in the 2018 car safety rating. The company has been striking the public for several decades with its responsible and scrupulous attitude towards the manufacture of reliable cars. These are due to the high performance characteristics, wear resistance and durability of the products of the German company. The index is 139 units, which indicates a fall in the position of the company. Apparently, not everyone can keep up with the rapidly becoming more complex standards ...

But Hyundai, on the contrary, improved its position. Currently, the cars of this company are among the most demanded in Europe. Every year the Korean corporation improves equipment, modernizes technologies and professionalism. This is due to the high level of quality and reliability of Hyundai cars. And this applies not to individual segments, but to all model linesranging from sedans to oversized SUVs.

It should be noted right away that according to JD Power, it is the Mercedes-Benz GLK-Class that is the best premium brand. As for the overall reliability rating of car brands, here the German brand occupies the middle in the Top. However, the firm managed to improve its position compared to 2017. Today the index is 131 points. At the same time, safe, powerful, technically equipped Mercedes-Benz cars are among the best-selling cars around the world!

Buick

In 1902, the Buick company was founded in the United States. We are talking about a large, reliable company that makes reliable cars. Unfortunately, the goods are produced in limited quantities. For this reason, it is rare to observe this car brand on the roads of the Russian Federation. But motorists from China were much more fortunate. Buick cars enter the territory of this state in significant volumes. The latest model is the Buick Envision. The safe crossover performed excellently on all tests. It is assembled on the territory of the Russian Federation.

The 3rd place in the ranking of the most reliable cars in 2018 is occupied by the Toyota brand. The safety index is 123 points, which is significantly worse than last season. Despite this fact, the brand secured its third place, and so far has not lost its place to anyone. It should be added that the demand for Japanese cars is growing significantly. On the territory of the Russian Federation, the most popular model is considered the Toyota Land Cruiser 200. It attracts with its huge size, full comfort and, of course, reliability.

Buying a used car is always a big risk: it is impossible to know reliably how it was operated, what parts were installed by the previous owner and where the car was serviced. Of course, each car is an individual case, but we still turn to statistics, choosing the 10 most reliable cars over 10 years old 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 of this metal absorb impact energy well. But there is also a downside - body repair: not a single "garage" will be able to qualitatively restore the aluminum body of the Audi A2, however, most service stations cannot do this either - on each body there are 1800 rivets, 17 meters of MIG welds (Maschinelles Inertgas-Schweissen , "automatic inert gas welding") and 30 meters of laser welding. Among the inconveniences, one can also note the low ground clearance and a small trunk - only 390 liters.

But, if you nevertheless decided to buy, take a car with diesel engine, preferably with a volume of 1.4 liters. IN mixed cycle it only consumes 4.2 l / 100 km. The 1.6 FSI petrol 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 its owner with big surprises. The most common and most reliable engines are an 8-valve 1.6-liter 100 hp. and a 105 hp variant with 16 valves. They can cover more than 300 thousand km without any problems. The main thing is not to forget to service it in time, monitor the amount of oil and not overheat the engine.

Antifreeze leakage from the cracked plastic pipes of the cooling system and the thermostat housing is a "disease" of this model, which refers to minor inconveniences.

There are no special problems either: it happens that the motor of the rear "wiper" breaks down, the trapezium of the front wiper may sour, the brake light switch located in the pedal assembly may still fail. The suspension of the car is simple: in the front "MacPherson", in the rear, in front-wheel drive versions, a simple H-shaped beam, in all-wheel drive - a multi-link. The service life of the undercarriage directly depends on the speed of passage of the pits.

The price in Belarus for a 10-11-year-old Golf is $ 7-10 thousand.

8th place - Suzuki Jimny

The Jimny kid is not as simple as it seems - this is a real frame rogue that 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, continuous axles, a two-stage transfer case, which is connected to a 4-speed automatic or 5-speed automatic transmission by means of an intermediate cardan shaft, reliable three-link spring suspensions.

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

The design of the car is very solid: the suspension will not disturb the owner of 150 thousand kilometers.

As for the engine, after 2001, a 1298 cc unit is installed on the car. cm, 80 hp. - almost eternal, it will easily cover 300 thousand km without major repairs.

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 compartmentwhich holds two small bags. In addition, the contents of the trunk easily heats up from a nearby 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 lineup 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, you should pay attention to 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, and has sold 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 - this wording can be used to equip almost any model under toyota brand... 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 ineffective piston crown cooling. As a result, the oil scraper rings of these motors lose their mobility in the piston groove even at low mileage. If you start the process, the car will "please" with an oil consumption of about 1 l / 1000 km, as well as increased noise in operation. The cure is known: replacing pistons and piston rings or replacing a "short block" assembly.

Diesel operators should be warned against buying an Avensis equipped with a 2.2-liter Clean Power diesel engine, which is very demanding on the quality of diesel fuel.

Transmissions - both automatic and "mechanics" - can boast of a huge resource, what can I 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 range of more than 120 thousand km to receive a car with all the native suspension elements.

The price of a 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, and much smaller in size. Nevertheless, passengers even in the rear seats are quite comfortable: 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, the trunk will decrease to an obscenely small size - 205 liters. All engines, ranging 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 brother is mechanical box with an automatic clutch release system called Freetronic - not happy with reliability, thinks for a long time and often jerks 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 Toyota Corolla is no longer the millionaire cars that were before, but the car still pleases with its reliability. Interior materials are unexpectedly high quality and even after a run of 100 thousand km are not overwritten.

The engines are still reliable, but with caveats. ZZ series motors have increased oil consumption for waste, diesel motors with the D4D mark are distinguished by expensive repairs, and the 1.4-liter diesel, on top of that, is afraid of overheating.

The mechanical box has retained its reliability, but the "robot" is no different. M-MT owners should be prepared for an expensive replacement electronic unit control, 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 seating position, 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 luxurious, it is restrained in a European way. There are no special problems with spare parts, most of the parts fit from 124, 202, 210 and 140 bodies, 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 drawback - it is still "female". Although this car has no equal in terms of reliability and unpretentiousness in its class. If "rafik" was even a little more brutal, the male half would have doted on him. As such, there are no claims to the reliability of the car, although especially the "raffics" of American origin can throw up a lot of reasons for concern. For example, their Check Engine periodically lights up, but this does not mean a serious malfunction - all expenses, basically, come down to paying for the service station to turn off the light bulb.

The automatic and rare "mechanics" are also reliable, and the engine itself is often to blame for many automatic transmission problems: the motor control unit is combined with the gearbox control unit, as a result of errors in the engine block affect the operation of the gearbox.

The price of a 10-11-year-old Toyota RAV4 is $ 10-16 thousand.

1st place - Porsche 911

Rare enough in Belarus, the Porsche 911 is one of those cars that are not purchased to take children to school or go shopping to the store. The element of such a car is speed, so serious diagnostics before purchasing will not hurt. The body of the sports car has a double galvanized coating, the metal is used 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 you delay with this procedure, then the engine may malfunction, which will entail high repair costs. There are no complaints about the 6-speed "mechanics", but the 5-speed automatic transmission "Tiptronic" 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. ...

Every vehicle needs from time to time. This includes the planned replacement of parts and unplanned repair of breakdowns, including those resulting from an accident. At the same time, the resistance to malfunctions is different for each car, from which it follows that certain models can do without repair longer. In addition, reliable cars are generally able to serve the driver for a longer amount of time, as they withstand numerous repairs. The more the car is resistant to breakdowns, the more profitable its operation is. Considering that cars are purchased for more than one year, we can talk about hundreds of thousands of rubles. That is why it is important to choose a model that will retain its performance as much as possible after 5-10 years of use.

Thus, the parameters of vehicle reliability include the following qualities:

• Reliability during operation. It depends on this property of the machine how long it remains operational, without needing serious repairs.
• Life time. How long the car can serve the owner. At the same time, it is considered that the vehicle receives the necessary timely service.
• Maintainability. The property is responsible for the possibility of repairing the car after the next breakdown - minor or serious.
• Efficiency. The parameter determines the correspondence of the actual period of use of the car to the specified by the manufacturer.

How is the degree of vehicle reliability determined?

Analytical agencies (both independent and representing various brands) make ratings of vehicles according to various parameters, including reliability. TOPs created for a particular category of vehicles, their year of production, properties or sales market simplify the task for drivers who choose a car to buy. So, with a mileage of 5 to 10 years, it includes cars that are best suited for long and profitable operation. They can be repaired many times, which will allow the owner to not think about buying a new car for as long as possible. In addition, as a rule, the most reliable vehicles are not so sensitive to fuel and low quality components - this makes them very economical.

• Availability of a particular car for purchase in the modern market;
• Date of manufacture of the machine - in this case, those that were released between 2005 and 2010 are taken into account;
• The number of foreseen and unplanned breakdowns that the average driver encounters during its operation - this data, as a rule, comes from maintenance services;
• Testimonies of the owners of a particular car, which is needed in order to draw up an overall picture of operation;
• Results obtained from theoretical comparison of the machine with competitors in terms of reliability and durability;
• Research results in practice - most agencies conduct an independent test drive and inspection to identify weak points of cars.

The position that a particular car occupies in the reliability rating relative to others depends on the combination of several properties. When comparing, to compile the TOP, information is used about the reliability of the machine components, on which its operation depends:

1. Chassis. The service life of the machine depends on the reliability of the fuel and braking system, transmission and suspension. These elements are subject to severe stress and wear and therefore have special requirements. A breakdown of the undercarriage assembly can indirectly harm all road users. It also takes into account the car's ability to work with components (including fuel) of poor quality.
2. Body. For durable, and most importantly - safe operation, the machine frame must be strong and resistant to mechanical stress and corrosion. A reliable body is easier to restore. This also applies to all of its components, such as glass, plastic inserts and moving parts.
3. Items requiring consumable replacement. Depending on the reliability and quality of assembly, the units of a particular machine need to be replaced with components at different intervals. More reliable models are also capable of handling poor quality parts.
4. Interior. The durability and stability of the interior coating, functionality and its control systems also affect the overall level of reliability. Special requirements apply to safety devices.

After collecting the results of surveys, comparisons and tests, as well as statistics from car services, the calculation of the results begins. The coefficient calculated during the analysis determines the overall reliability of the machine in operation. The position of the car in the absolute rating among models aged from 5 to 10 years depends on it.

Statistics show that during this period of use, vehicles most often face problems:

• Body. Due to prolonged exposure to weather conditions, dirt and moisture, corrosion appears on the surface of the car and comes off paintwork... Frame defects appear, which affect the general condition of the machine.
• Management. The cars of the last decade have been equipped with many electronic and mechanical functions. The driver often encounters breakdowns, even if the components are quite reliable - this is due to their number.
• Salon. 5-10 years after the purchase of the car, the interior coating begins to deteriorate, including the seats and controls.
• Electronics. Many modern systems, many of which are experimental, add up to a large number of problems.

Rating of the ten most reliable cars aged 5 to 10 years

TOP 2015 includes cars that were produced from 2005 to 2010. The position in the rating was obtained by cars based on the reliability of the totality of all systems on which operation depends. By choosing among these models, the driver will be able to purchase the most durable and.

In tenth place in the ranking of the most reliable cars with mileage from 5 to 10 years is the Japanese crossover, which has been produced since 1997. This car is the only one in the top that does not belong to Toyota or Honda. Anyway, they're all released japanese companies, which confirms the theory of the durability and reliability of these machines (despite the fact that brands from all over the world participated in the comparison). According to some analytical agencies, Forester is best crossover 2015 year. Car enthusiasts appreciate it for its high level of safety, spacious interior and reasonable cost.
