Automotorportal? Never heard of them. And you're a reference? It's not because you dont know the site/company/survey that its biased. I truly believe, based on having worked in/on cars, on everything that I read on cars, of all the cars I fixed and drove, that american cars have the least overall quality, driving wise, and in performance/handling, hp per displacement and reliability. Even in pick-ups Toyota makes better, stronger (with less gas consumption) trucks than any other american car company. The only reason american companies keep selling them is because of patriotic ignorant americans. Spec. |

Obviously you've never driven an 80's era non-Luxury euro-car before. One of my co-workers back in high school drove a Renault Le Car and it was terrible! The thing barely ran and it wasn't that old. My dad had a thing for British roadsters and always owned a couple in various states of disrepair; he dispised Lucas Electric since their parts would fail on a monthly basis. The first new car he ever bought was a Sunbeam Alpine roadster (made by British Leland) and he actually ended up paying more for repairs then the total cost of the car payments!
![]() I did like my friend's Fiat 124 convertable as it was a sporty little roadster but the thing just would die all the time for some unknown reason. It was like a ghost inhabited the car which would break things if the proper animal sacrafics weren't performed before each use. ![]() |

From the article.
![]() the Warranty Direct study most likely includes any problems that are not covered by the factory warranty but are covered by the extended warranty. Factory warranties in the UK generally run three years, but they also have mileage limits. If the mileage limit is reached first, then Warranty Direct can pay a claim before the car reaches its third birthday. If a part is not covered by the factory warranty, Warranty Direct could also pay a claim on a younger car. And factory warranties differ. Mazda appears to offer a bumper-to-bumper 60,000-mile warranty. Toyota also offers a 60,000-mile warranty, but only on mechanical defects. Honda’s warranty also only covers mechanical defects, but for 90,000 miles rather than 60,000. Surprise: Warranty Direct’s claim rates are nearly twice as high for Toyotas as for the other two. |
