Consumer reports - car reliability 2013

[Leongsam]

Name one due to shonky software production like this then?

I don't know what the cause is but the Hyundai Santa Fe has been in the news for the same reason.

Audi has similar problems some time ago. Google for the info.

The list is a surprise for me as I thought Porsche would be somewhere in the top for reliability per table shared by Leongsam. Boss in your opinion what you think happen to them suddenly?

Probably too high end for Consumer reports to have sufficient data on.

And where are they on the "reliability" chart?

The Santa Fe has had good reliability reviews. However, it's a new model so it takes a couple of years or more for an accurate picture to emerge.

Was referring to Toyota and Audi actually.

Thank you for the reply

Nothing beats Toyota when it comes to reliability over the long term. Audi has improved significantly but repairs are still expensive and time consuming.

You talking diesel or petrol? Nobody bothers about fuel consumption of a diesel. The important specs are torque and towing capacity.

Unless register as commercial vehicle. if commercial registration got issue entering Johor. Cannot chiong there over weekend.

There is no road tax in NZ and 99% of the trucks here are diesel. No 4x4 has good fuel economy because they are built tough and heavy.
