Motoring: Mazda zoom zooms to top of reliability survey
23 Jan 07 16:59

Mazda has topped a reliability survey by Warranty Direct, which studied claims it dealt with for cars aged 3-9 years old. In the 450,000 cars it studied in the UK and US, Mazda models accounted for just 8.04% of failures per 100 cars.

It comes as no surprise that the Japanese manufacturers dominated the study; second-placed was Honda, with just 8.9 failures per 100 cars, followed by Toyota (15.78) and Mitsubishi (17.04). Subaru was sixth (18.46), followed by Nissan (18.46) and Lexus (20.05).

Best-placed of the non-Japanese car-makers was Korean firm Kia (17.39, fifth) with the best of the Europeans being Mini (ninth place behind Lexus, 21.9). Citroen came in tenth (25.98), followed by Daewoo (26.3), Hyundai (26.36), Peugeot (26.59), Ford (26.76) and Suzuki (27.2).

At the bottom end of the table were Chrysler's Jeep brand (46.36 failures per 100 vehicles), Land Rover (44.21), Saab (41.59), Alfa Romeo (39.13), Renault and Seat (both 36.87), Audi (36.74), Chrysler (34.9), Skoda (32.12), Jaguar (32.05), Volkswagen (31.44), Volvo (31.28), MG Rover (31.12) and Mercedes-Benz (29.9).

Middling results were achieved by Porsche (27.48), Fiat (28.49), BMW (28.64) and Vauxhall (28.77).

While surveys like this are somewhat flawed... I'm tickled that Mazda is on top... and Kia is at five... take that, doubters...
