Honda Most Reliable

Where does Lexus come in the ratings?

[PCM]

2nd I thought ...

Depends which survey you are referring to. In the latest What Car? survey Lexus came 7th, partly because the cost of repairs were taking into account and Lexus labour and parts are expensive. Toyota were 3rd.

But then it is no longer a survey just on reliability though.. it is?

No. And once you take cost into account, no car costing over c £40k is ever going to be reliable by that measure due to the costs of spares and labour. But I suppose they need to weight results otherwise an engine failure could equate to the failure of a wiper blade.. for example..

I thoought it was just a simple calculation based on number of breakdowns per year.

Not for this specific survey and this upset Bentley.

Lol, I prefer this table:

Truly you can make stats say anything if you look hard enough!

One of the other tables on that site still sites Citroen Saxo's in the top 20!
