Surprising that Skoda was in the top 10 and Audi in the bottom 10! Don't understand that really.

28. MG
27. Vauxhall
26. Peugeot
25. Audi
24. Rover
23. BMW.
Yes your correct.... I didn't read the top line...:lol:

Definitely, goes to show.. Although I remember reading recently Audi drivers are the worst for basic maintenance like checking oil, fluids, tyres etc so that could contribute a little.. still shocking though.
Guess the old adage of Jap reliability is still true..
looks like crap to me,but what would i know :shrug:

Wow was not expecting some of these!
These surverys just prove how buyers of vertain cars maintain them, or how manufacturers cope with poor maintenance, most cars are pretty damn reliable if looked after properly.

The article states that the Skoda is made in GB, when it's in fact the Czech Republic. I wonder what else they got wrong.

I think they were referring to the Mini being made in the UK, and just mentioned Skoda in the same sentence though I can see how it could be misunderstood.
Only German-owned Skoda and MINI, which is made in Britain, broke the Asian trend, ranked eighth and 10th respectively.

Everyone i know that has a newish Audi has had electrical problems of some sort with their car!
It says Japanese 7 out of top 10 it might as well say Top 7 All Japanese! Sounds better imo ;)
Honda's are mostly made in UK so i guess thats a win for the UK? Well Civics, CRVs and Jazz's anyways
