A car is first and foremost a means of transportation. Therefore, the vehicle should be as reliable as a Swiss watch and require minimum repairs (at least while the car is relatively new).
We made a rating of the most reliable cars of different years of production (TUV). The fact that the first lines are taken by premium models will not surprise anyone. However, the cars recognized as "people's" models sometimes weave in the very end of the rating. And it really surprises.
Our rating includes models of different brands, which were popular in 2020 and 2021. There are the top cars on the market, as well as budget options. And the results of the rating may pleasantly surprise you. It is worth considering that our rating considered used cars (otherwise there is no way to understand how often some models break down).
We also used aftermarket reviews left by car owners regarding their repairability.
