Rating reliability
Article Abstract:
Most people want their cars to be reliable but it is not easy to ascertain the reliability of particular models. Surveys show that the number of car breakdowns is falling, although faulty cars continue to be a big problem, with 40% of the newest cars having faults in 1996. Rust problems continue to decline, although corrosion can occur as the car ages. Some of the largest car makers, such as Ford, Fiat and Vauxhall, have improved the reliability of many of their models, although European manufacturers tend to fall behind Japanese makers.
