The MOST RELIABLE cars (and brands) of 2024 | What Car?

After watching this video, reliability of What car review is 0 😂

[@rc666]

Mini, are you joking?

[@davcuts2897]

MINI has been rated the 3rd most reliable brand by Consumer Reports in the USA for the past 2 years. They rate higher than even Honda. It's hard to believe when in years past they where always near the bottom for reliability.

[@michaelma3385]

It's probably because a proportion of new owners buying the EV mini, all EV are significantly less maintenance needed

[@smitabhmoitra5726]

Nah honestly the electric minis are almost flawless when it comes to reliability. Genuinely, hats off to them.

[@markgt894]

@@michaelma3385bs, it’s just based on peoples reports. No way European manufacturers are more reliable than Toyota

[@Babel7078]

Many won't believe because they have Gen 1 and Gen 2 in their mind when there were PSA engines and Leiland gearshift. Gen3 is totally different story, BMW and Getrag in the heart of the car. Mine is 2020 F56, wonderful!

[@garywood1317]

It seems hard to believe that Mini is more reliable than the Japanese brands and that no Honda car is in the top 10. We have had two Honda Jazz's now, and they are bulletproof.

[@joe80ss]

No way Mini beats lexus, toyota, Suzuki and Honda.

[@G6EJD]

The problem with these surveys is they are not normalised for mileage, generally a car that travels few miles is more reliable, and a granny who owns an apparently very reliable car, is because it spends most of its time in the garage!

[@dimjad7933]

Grannies don't go online to complete surveys.

[@G6EJD]

@ even so put an Aygo through the same mileage rigours of say a Company car BMW and it would likely soon fail. Normalising for mileage evens out the results so 2 failures in 20000miles (2/20000) for a BMW verses 2 failures in 1000miles (2/1000) reveals more realistic results. The Granny reference was for an example to get results…

[@dodiloi]

​​​​@@G6EJD Miles are not accurate, calculate how many miles does a 2000h driving, at highway speeds (60mph) and city speeds (like 20mph) do. Both cars do the same work hours, one with 120k miles, the other with 40k miles.

[@josipmatic4732]

None Vw, skoda but they driven economy?

[@gavjlewis]

Well considering we have a Citroen C1 that will tick over 200k miles in the next few weeks, I'm not surprised that the Aygo X (which has the same engine) is proving to be reliable. I looked to get one as a replacement, but they are still over £10k even for a 2.5 year old car. Probably should have bought one new considering how well used values are holding up.

[@roelvanes1711]

Mini! Dreadful for reliability and repair costs as they age!

[@gavjlewis]

Yes the R series cars are shocking. The F series cars seem to be much better. Considering they are only looking at cars from 2019, then Mini have had at least 6 years to iron out most of the issues before these cars were made.

[@apolitis1]

This survey is ridiculous...does it take into account mileage/warranty/service costs? Not to mention manufacturing quality(I'm looking at you Tesla)... I Test drove VW Golf, Audi A1 ,Benz A class, BMW series 1 and Lexus LBX. Lexus gave an 11(!!!) year warranty in both mechanical parts and battery. The others only 3-4. I think that tells you everything you need to know.

[@The77Game]

Crazy that Mini is nr 1 here and on Carwow it was listed as the most unreliable small hatchback.

[@vamostimow]

[@WheelieMacBin]

These figures seem strange, as anybody who regularly uses motorways, cannot fail to notice the unusual number of BMW's on the hard shoulders.

Haha true me and my take a guesses if it’s ford or bmw on a hard shoulder after waze warns of a car on a shoulder ahead.

[@crestas9]

It’s mostly e46 or e90 models though, not the modern ones.

[@briantitchener4829]

Mini? 😏 Mark Twain got it right,--"There are lies, damned lies, and statistics".

[@paulstaffordcook8799]

What a nonsense video! All KZbin mechanics tell us that BMW, Audi and Mercedes are over complicated and unreliable in the long term (beyond warranty). Reliability videos uploaded by car review channels (such as this one) are based on surveys that are not worth the paper they’re written on. Listen to the mechanics folks.

[@markdawson4625]

Totally agree, how any German branded cars can be called reliable now is a joke. Clearly the Japanese build the most reliable cars. Carwow’s reliability survey was more in depth and scientific

[@steve050867]

Mini number 1. It's coming up to Christmas not April fools day.

[@markbennett9787]

In November 2018 I bought an Alfa Romeo Giulietta MultiAir 150ch, I have done over 60,000 km since new with absolutely no problems at all. I have it serviced annually and have travelled all over France from my home in rural Brittany.

[@flickthenick]

Ha can't be a proper Alfa - only joking...

[@l4rjy]

Any car can do 60, 000km without issues. I’ve done 210 000miles that is 336 000km in my Prius. Can you do that kind of miles on Alfa?

[@hughventer2934]

I'm disregarding this, there now way anything from BMW group is more reliable than something from Toyota and Lexus

[@drewhender3999]

People must realise the reputation for Mini unreliability comes from the generation that ended in 2013. As a Mini fan even I wouldn’t own a car from that generation, the 2014 onwards F Series is much more reliable

[@Babel7078]

Agreed, previos models, before 2014 were usind Tritec and Prince (PSA with BMW collaboration ) were a nightmare. After that F56 is another story in every sense.

[@lungaswazi9194]

[@megapangolin1093]

There is something fishy going on here, are Mini owners underreporting at the behest of the manufacturer?

[@jea1034]

Survey is flawed. Never start a survey with a leading negative response. This immediately makes the owner think about issues, leading to a negative overall response. This, like ur EV comparisons should be completely ignored.

[@goaboi]

HARD TO BELIVE BMW IS ON THIS LIST

[@Dorset_Dave]

I find the Warranty Direct Reliability Index a better gauge, as it uses data from actual warranty claims.

[@srilankan87]

Hi whatcar, please do a ranking of this type exclusively for electric vehicles. Another out of the box idea for you; you could also do a yearly most comfortable car ranking as well (silence, suspension, seats etc). your audience will love it, and it will be a youtube first.

[@Michael-4]

Give that NEW Mini a few years. It will be one of the worst.

[@nicholasriley3569]

The results are the results but quite a few of the cars on the list are very unreliable in most other surveys so maybe your methodology is flawed. For example under your criteria, you could be comparing a generation of one model thats been out for 5 yrs to another that was only introduced 3 months ago! That clearly favours the model thats only been on sale for 3 months.

[@skipskops]

[@Mgoblagulkablong]

@@crm114. I'd like that. or even split the electric, hybrid and ice version of certain models, that's quite important since they can make a huge difference. I have a friend who works in leasing and tells me that the worst car is the new corsa because of the puretech engine but at the same time the most reliable car they offer is also the corsa , but the full electric version. Since this survey put both models in the same bag it probably ha an average score

[@Gwril76]

Mini 🤔

[@lockonandfire]

What are the individual sample sizes here? Averaged out, you'd be looking at just under 1000 respondents for each brand included in the survey, around 150 people for each model, but that isn't the actual ownership distribution. How many respondents had a Tesla? How many had a Model Y? Is that more or less respondents than had a Porsche 718? This is pretty basic stuff to include, and not having it renders the entire work largely pointless.

[@norbertoreis4583]

Premium brand car owners always tend to hide issues with their cars... It's a classic 🙂

[@AbandonEarth911]

Suzuki.

[@MrFlazz99]

I'm not surprised that the Picanto and Aygo feature highly (not to mention the Porsches) - these are cars that will typically never cover great mileage and hence be less likely to suffer problems. If there were a score for faults weighted by mileage, I suspect the results might change, although Toyota and Kia would probably still do well. BMW 3-litre diesels have tended to do well on such analysis (but less so their smaller diesels), as I understand, but then you come up against their relative exclusivity, something that the Porsche models hit even harder. What it comes down is quite subjective analysis. If I were to ask myself which cars on this list I'd be likely to consider (if I were in the market for anything so new), then the BMW 1-series might scrape in, but only as long as it came with the 3-litre diesel. No hybrids and definitely no petrol - so it's a terrible shame that political regulatory compliance has rendered diesel engines unviable for small cars nowadays. The day I give up on wanting to actually go anywhere - that will be the day when I don't want a diesel and will put up with the lesser efficiency of petrol. Sadly, I'd have to remortgage my house (or raid my pension savings) for a BMW. Modern cars have too many gadgets that will go wrong, so I pray that the day I have to consider a 2019+ car is a long way away. The results here aren't a shock, anyway.

[@stephencollins7714]

Useful consumer advice but reliability is so dull. I really hope that they take my licence away long before I select a car based upon its reliability.

[@k.j.hulander2204]

Disregarding reliability is your choice and an understandable choice if you have the benefit of a company car or have the margins for depreciation. However, the vast majority of private buyers do well to consider reliability and depreciation in their financial calculus. I’m not saying anyone should buy a Yaris for the great ride but my mum essentially drove hers for free from 2016 until last year due to a combination of inflation, high resale value and low operating costs. For many people that’s an attractive proposition.

[@stephencollins7714]

@ I totally understand where you are coming from and it is of course a perfectly valid argument. I am running 2x 2018 Audi’s at the moment and pay to extend the warranty each year. I know that if they break down, I am covered and will be given a courtesy car but both have been rock solid. I do really look after my cars though, I maintain them fastidiously and let them warm and cool properly which i believe pays off.

[@tectorama]

Other surveys will say the Mini is crap

[@henryviiifake8244]

How the hell is Mini so much more reliable than its parent company (BMW)?! Colour me surprised! 😂

[@princenemesis]

Based on how many people voting on each?

[@simonp9075]

What a load of old tosh. At best these surveys are about 3% accurate as this is the amount of cars surveyed. All done to sell magazines like What Car and if you want something reliable stay away from anything expensive and over complicated like Land Rover and many German and EVs cars. Japanese cars like Honda and Toyota and cheaper cars like Dacia are reliable. A good friend of mine works for one of the top breakdown companies and says most cars on the side of the road are a Land Rover a product or other expensive brands. Staying away from tech and diesels which are now over complicated will also help.

If it's mass-produced, and made after 2000, it will contain many low quality parts, including potential design flaws, which has risen since 2000. Rule of thumb for me, if a car has plastic headlights, it's a low quality build and will cost you as you reach the 100thou mark.

[@badbasic]

Or that the fire, while horrible and hard to put out, starts way slower than a gasoline one. Thermal runaway usually takes up to 20 minutes to get to dangerous levels, which is enough time to evacuate. Plus you have the LFP batteries that are virtually impossible to ignite.. But none of that is about the topic at hand, which is reliability. I suspect the new Model 3 will also be up there in a few years. Such a shame that Elon has got mixed up with politics, as well as some stupid choices they made(no indicator stalks, why Tesla, why) cause those 2 cheaper models (the Y and the 3) are great vehicles.
