Mazda has topped a reliability survey by Warranty Direct, which studied claims it dealt with for cars aged 3-9 years old. In the 450,000 cars it studied in the UK and US, Mazda models accounted for just 8.04% of failures per 100 cars.

It comes as no surprise that the Japanese manufacturers dominated the study; second-placed was Honda, with just 8.9 failures per 100 cars, followed by Toyota (15.7 Cool

and Mitsubishi (17.04). Subaru was sixth (18.46), followed by Nissan (18.46) and Lexus (20.05).

Best-placed of the non-Japanese car-makers was Korean firm Kia (17.39, fifth) with the best of the Europeans being Mini (ninth place behind Lexus, 21.9). Citroen came in tenth (25.9 Cool

, followed by Daewoo (26.3), Hyundai (26.36), Peugeot (26.59), Ford (26.76) and Suzuki (27.2).

At the bottom end of the table were Chrysler's Jeep brand (46.36 failures per 100 vehicles), Land Rover (44.21), Saab (41.59), Alfa Romeo (39.13), Renault and Seat (both 36.87), Audi (36.74), Chrysler (34.9), Skoda (32.12), Jaguar (32.05), Volkswagen (31.44), Volvo (31.2 Cool

, MG Rover (31.12) and Mercedes-Benz (29.9).

Middling results were achieved by Porsche (27.4 Cool

, Fiat (28.49), BMW (28.64) and Vauxhall (28.77).

^^^see what I was talking about, Plex?
European cars are really for their domestic markets. They canot compete on a global scene...it was always that way. Euro brands that sold in the US were sold on history and novelty.........that don't cut it nowadays..........I'd still buy an Alfa 155 if I cud get one
