Firstly, the company is Warranty Direct, and their reliability index can be found here. Secondly, congratulations to the Honda Accord which ranked at number one, and to Honda, Nissan and Toyota who all managed two cars in the top 10. Thirdly, congratulations to the Japanese automotive industry which supplied every car in the Top 10, and an amazing 16 of the Top 20. The highest placed non-Japanese model was the British built Jaguar X-Type in 13th with the mighty German automotive industry first appearing at number 25.
1 - Honda Accord - A classy package, well put together and feels more special than the average family car. Superb engines and value for money.
2 - Subaru Forester - Not quite an off roader, much more than an estate with a sporty edge, making it the perfect combination. Great all round buy.
3 - Mazda MX-5 - Blueprint for the modern roadster with sweet handling and engines to match. Extremely easy to live with.
4 - Mitsubishi Carisma - Despite the name, not that interesting to look at or drive, but that?s not the point. Here is a no-nonsense hatchback that won?t let you down.
5 - Toyota Yaris - Superminis don?t come better. Bags of room and perky engines. Probably the best small car buy.
6 - Honda Civic - Solid build quality and good engines are just part of the appeal, the Civic is one of the most spacious small cars around. Great value.
7 - Nissan Almera - A dull package, but that?s no reason to dismiss the Almera which is practical and perfect for the smaller family who need a big boot and utter reliability.
8 - Honda CR-V - Proof that you don?t need an XXXL 4x4. Here is a four-wheel drive estate that is flexible, easy to drive and own.
9 - Toyota RAV4 - So few four-wheel drives are fun to drive. This car is suitably sporty, but very practical. Expensive used buy but worth it.
10 - Nissan Micra - The driving school favourite. Tough, fairly roomy, but with its light controls is easy to steer around town.
