A survey claims that sleek and inexpensive cars are more reliable compared to expensive models. Do you want to know the details? Well, read on.
For some, cheap cars may not be worth the attention. Mainly, this is because people have this state of mind that when you go cheap, you are also buying low quality products. However, a recent survey has proven that car owners who desire reliable automobiles should stick with small and inexpensive cars rather than huge and costly car models.
"Which?'s" has made a recent dependable survey about the most reliable car in the market. The survey crowned the Honda Jazz as the most reliable car of Britain. With an outstanding score of 95%, Honda Jazz made a big splash among more than 32,500 cars. The faults, breakdown and niggles of other cars made the Honda Jazz take the top notch. Out of 406 samples of Honda Jazz, only a few were found to have faults and niggles. Plus, Honda auto body parts and engine parts are available almost everywhere. It is just enough for the price of approximately £8,000, isn't it?
Following the Honda Jazz, seven cars such as Honda CR-V, Honda Accord, Mazda 3, Toyota Corolla, Subaru Forester plus two outgoing models, Renault Clio and Vauxhall Corsa, parked equally on the 2nd place having a score of 92%.
It was very disappointing for the BMW 5 Series and the Jaguar S-type. Both these vehicles received a score of 83%. And although they were average scores, they are still considered to low knowing that these are good brands. Mercedes-Benz E-class received 42%. It was very unsatisfactory for a luxury car that costs more than £27,000 to receive such a rating. This is because Mercedes-Benz E-class was noted to have problems. It was also noted that almost 32% of all Mercedes Benz E-class owners need to have the vehicle repaired in less than a year. No other luxury car received a higher score.
This survey shows how practical car owners are. They are more focused on how they can save money by buying inexpensive cars with good quality and excellent functions. Indeed, people are looking for more reliable cars other than luxurious ones. The survey shows how reliable budget cars are that more people buy them instead of pricey automobiles. This study also suggests that instead of purchasing an expensive car model, acquiring a budget car is a practical choice. The price is the only the difference anyway.
