Barry Lineker Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 So that's another myth busted that Germany makes reliable cars🤣 https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-11461661/The-10-reliable-car-brands-REVEALED.html?ico=mol_desktop_home-newtab&molReferrerUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailymail.co.uk%2Fhome%2Findex.html&_ga=2.249386625.761552905.1665387970-1616031311.1648800840 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barryd999 Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 For once you might be right about something! Ta Da! My old Golf Mk4 which I had for about 12 years as a run around initially was fantastic, indestructible but all the new stuff is overpriced rubbish apparently. I could do with changing my car really (we only have one now) but have no idea what to get. Maybe a Toyota Supra from the 90s. 😎  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtravel Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 You should be proud, I can't see British brands. Oh yeah, there aren't any more. Even Wauxhall is now French. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just another example of his rabid irrational Germanophobia. Naturally he links to his Beano comic, the Daily Wail. Parkers is a more credible source and gives a more detailed guide. Note that most are small to medium size suitable for short trips. If using a car for business clocking up motorway mileage then the top 4 listed are all German. https://www.parkers.co.uk/best-cars/most-reliable-cars/ Auto Express also compile a list placing Skoda top of their list; https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/driver-power/64280/top-10-most-reliable-cars-buy-2022 Skoda is owned by VW.

colin Posted November 24, 2022 Share Posted November 24, 2022 As an owner of two Suzuki's I was in agreement with the link in OP, that is until I saw the list of supposed 'most reliable used cars', the Suzuki Alto is listed at number 8 and the only Suzuki on the list, that model Suzuki is widely known as having some of the worst reliabilities of any recent Suzuki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact remains that the British car industry has gone for years. What little remains is foreign owned and obviously the profits go abroad. However, speaking of the economy, local newspapers report that your Christmas advertising is rather poor and aimed at conditions of recession. May you confirm ?

Obviously you dont understand British irony, which probably explains why you don't understand our soppy Christmas advertizing🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
