Hard to call Fords unreliable. I've had several and never had a problem.

However, my neighbour has an Avensis and has had big trouble with the gearbox.

Alpha Romeo's have a reputation for being unreliable. Not unwarranted either.

Their sister cars, Alfa Romeo are great though.


I would have thought VW or Audi in place of Proton would have been a much better option (certainly bassed on the reliability surveys anyway)

No point in having rover in there, t'would be a landslide victory!:D

This is a ridiculous poll, TBH. What are the chances of any one person having owned all the cars on the list in the recent past? And how can anyone who hasn't even hazard a guess?

i don't expect anyone to own all 10 makes:rolleyes:

i'm just looking for peoples personal experiences as it may help other potential car buyers out there to avoid any lemons

19 people have voted Renault/Fiat.

Have any of those 19 owned either? Just out of curiousity...

Or did the man in the pub tell ye:P

In the "But they are Mercedes, Vw and Audi, they couldn't be unreliable" poll.

Well if someone buys a fiat and it breaks (the levels of probelms dont seem to matter here, someone could have a toyota that explodes, killing their family, but if they get a puncture in a fiat, all fiats are junk) thats automatically the most unreliable car they had and will vote for it.

That or they are going on hearsay, which is equally as bad a base for a poll.

According to reliabilityindex the most unreliable cars are porsches (suzuki most reliable). The current edition of What Car does a similar survey where Honda comes out on top and Land Rover are the worst.

bet Renault will win this poll(or lose it as the case may be)

Ireland is full of horribly ignorant people who reckon anything French is crap.
I'd vote for Land Rover aswell but it's not on the poll.

GroupB - where are you???!! I'd be interested to hear your opinion

The most unreliable make would probably be the make that has more breakdowns per vehicle based on all vehicles undergoing the same treatment than any other. Since we can't judge based on equal conditions, the poll is nothing but opinions! People hate Fiat. Fiat could let Honda manufacture their cars from now on and people would still slag them off.

I had a Seat Leon (older model) which was particularly fond of breaking down, each issue being an expensive electrical one. I know two friends, who also bought similar Leon's all suffering from various different electrical issues.

Now have a pro_ce'ed (stupid name but nice car), which I hope will be more reliable. As an aside, anyone know who made the 1.6D engine used in the Kia's? Somebody told me it was same engine used by Ford, another told me it was made by FIAT, and Kia and Hyundai are under the one umbrella.
