European drivers and owners road transport recognized that the most reliable car is a Skoda car.
Most car buyers, both new and used, choose reliability as the main selection criterion. This concept includes a lot of things: the least number of breakdowns, maintainability of components and assemblies, engine operation with low-quality gasoline or oil, etc. in this article we will tell you which is the most reliable car for Russia in 2015.
The system of rating the reliability of cars in the world
Reliability ratings of automobile models and brands are carried out all over the world and on each continent separately. Countries with large automotive markets also conduct their own reliability ratings. These ratings are usually initiated by analytical agencies and the automotive media.
Why are car reliability ratings carried out? The media and analytical agencies compose such ratings for their own earnings. Such information will always be in demand. This means that an agency that has published such a rating will be able to earn a lot from advertising that will be present on the pages of this rating.
- the market where cars are sold;
- car class (hatchback, crossover, sedan, SUV)
- the period of years of production of cars participating in the rating;
- a list of potential problems that may arise with each specific car model.
The reliability of each specific car model is ascertained by interviewing a certain sample of respondents who are the owners or drivers who directly operate these cars. Such polls are carried out in places where the greatest concentration of motorists is: service stations, car exhibitions, car dealerships, etc.
Potential vehicle problems include various possible breakdowns, malfunctions and shortcomings that were discovered by drivers during the operation of vehicles. The list is usually divided into several categories:
The table below lists the main categories of potential problems and their descriptions.
| Breakdown categories | Description |
| Engine and transmission | This may include problems with fuel system, with a camshaft, sensitive to poor quality gasoline, high demands lubricants, short maintenance intervals, the reliability of the engine cooling system and gearbox mountings, etc. |
| Car body | The manufacturer's warranty for the absence of corrosion on the body, the thickness of the paintwork, the thickness of the body panels, the maintainability of the body panels, the quality of the paintwork, the appearance of air bubbles and moisture, a lot of chips. The car body also includes: the quality of plastic and rubber inserts, moldings, the quality of the plastic of the front and rear lights |
| Chassis | Service life of consumable parts: shock absorbers, struts, silent blocks, bushings, rubber bands and seals of stabilizers and levers. The quality of the consumables and spare parts offered. |
| Cabin comfort | Convenient location of the driver, reliability of the driver assistance systems: parking system, anti-lock braking system, traction control system, exchange rate stability system, navigation system, climate control, cruise control, etc. |
| Vehicle safety | EuroNCAP rating, airbag deployment. |
After the data has been collected from the respondents, the agencies calculate the results. Usually, the number of problems per 100 cars of a given model or brand is considered. Most often, values \u200b\u200bare rounded up to the vehicle brand. so if a brand has absolutely failed models on the market, they can drastically reduce its reliability rating.
The most common problems with modern cars
Many motorists will be interested to know what breakdowns and malfunctions are common to all modern cars.
It turns out that most often drivers and owners of motor vehicles produced over the past decade call such problems in cars:
— appearance car - poor quality paintwork;

Auto Bild's annual quality rating was first published in 2001. The rating of each automaker consists of 7 indicators: the results of a study of the level of satisfaction of car buyers (8187 respondents), the number of recalled cars and cases renovation works, the reliability rating of the TUV report (which contains information on nearly 9 million total technical inspections), an analysis of the manufacturer's warranty policy and three categories, which contain the ratings of the editors of Auto Bild magazine. These assessments include long-term car test results, garage test results, and analysis of critical comments from more than 10,000 letters from readers of the magazine.
This time, Kia Motors became the winner of the rating. It is the only automaker to receive a top 1 rating for its warranty policy. The brand achieved extremely high scores in customer satisfaction surveys. It was also taken into account that no Kia cars were recalled in 2015, and the number of criticisms from Auto Bild readers was minimal. In addition, Kia vehicles received ratings of "very good" and "good" in all long-term tests (testing is carried out during operation at a distance of at least 100 thousand km).
Below are the results of the rating (maximum score - 1).
1-2. Kia (2.14), Mazda (2.14)

The reliability of cars according to the American company J.D. Power
Founded in 1968 by James David, the American Global Marketing Association J.D. Power is one of the best known for researching the reliability and quality of cars.Annual surveys conducted both in the United States and elsewhere in the world typically include analysis of problems that have arisen after three years of vehicle use (VDS), analysis of problems during first three months of operation (IQS), as well as the opinion of consumers about dealerships and the automotive service industry (APEAL).
Below are two rankings for 2015.
Reliability rating of 3 summer cars. A poll conducted by the company among 34 thousand owners of cars purchased in 2012 in the American market showed that the most reliable three-year-old cars in the United States, like the four previous years, are Lexus cars.
The final rating was compiled based on the number of faults per 100 vehicles. The average result was 147 defects, which is 14 points worse than last year and 21 points worse than 2013.
Most often, car enthusiasts noted problems with Bluetooth connectivity and errors in the operation of voice command recognition technology. Almost a third of all problems related to the operation of the power unit, and most of the complaints related to the transmission - the drivers were not satisfied with the sharp change of gears.
Experts also found that 56% of respondents who had no problems with their cars will “definitely” buy a car of the same brand next time, but only 43% of car owners will not change their chosen brand if they have three or more complaints about the car.

Vehicle reliability rating in the first three months of operation showed an average result of 112 points, which is 3 points lower than last year and 6 points lower than 2013. The Korean Hyundai and KIA were again victorious. The cars of these brands had less than 100 breakdowns per 100 cars. As for Japanese brands, for the first time their average failure rate dropped to 114 points, which is a point worse than that of Europeans.
Experts have already been quick to call this change of places a real milestone in the auto industry. " This is a real revolution in terms of quality. For a long time, Japanese cars were considered a true benchmark in quality matters. Now "Europeans" and "Koreans" have bypassed Japanese brands - and we have not seen this for a very long time."- said Vice President J.D. Power and Associates Rene Stevens.

Dynamics of reliability of brands of 3 summer cars. Based on data from J.D. Power on the reliability of three-year-old car brands, using the formula (1000 - Number of faults) / 10, we determined the "percentage" of brands reliability and built a graph of the reliability dynamics by years of popular brands, as well as the most reliable (Lexus) and the most unreliable brands (Land Rover). It can be seen from the graph that there is now a slight decline in reliability, but in general, all mass brands are quite densely located around the average value and their reliability differs little from each other.
