What Car? issue

All I see around me are bad news, so I thought I'd share this:
I just thought it was good news that when I checked this year's ranking, the IS300H is still up there as the leader in reliability (the ones that never break down as seen on the cover are the IS and the NX).

The RX and the UX also got pretty good positions in the rankings.

I live with an expert in statistics, so I do know there is a bit of conditional logic here, because the IS wasn't a massive sales success, but I thought it was good anyway.

Just for balance, what were the cars most likely to break down (to save me buying the magazine!). Would they contain cars made by manufacturers beginning with "B", "M" and "A"?

Haha, to be honest with you, I think some of those were at the bottom, but I didn't buy the magazine, I was only checking it quickly in Sainsbury's while my wife was picking flours for baking.

Very surprised Mini is third?

[Spock66]

The table is for cars up to 5-years old, would be interesting to see data for cars up to 10-years old.

Most German cars wouldn't feature on it, by virtue of having fallen to bits by then.
