Studies reliability as the J.D. Power US or ADAC German -later, we discuss the latest results- are an important reference used by automakers to design and build better vehicles from the point of quality. Precisely, quality and reliability have been used by manufacturers in many of its communications and marketing campaigns to promote their new models.


Drivers are analyzing Reports reliability as the degree of probability that a car passing through the shop more or less frequently. This is particularly Useful for motorists, especially if they expected soon renew your vehicle.
The last calls for review Brands that have traditionally monopolized the top positions in reliability-the cases of Toyota and Lexus are the most recent and acquaintances cases have set off alarm signals. ¿ There is really infallible manufacturer, one whose car mark does not give a single problem throughout his life? Unfortunately, the answer is no.
Autopista.es has had access to car reliability report by the OCU (Organization of Consumers and Users). The star is worn by Japanese brands, well six of the top seven in the overall standings They are the ‘Country of the Rising Sun’. Alone Subaru Y Suzuki They are not among the 20 brands with lower degree of likelihood of failure. If we keep glancing at the ranking of manufacturers, surprising third place Dacia Romanian, as well as the poor results achieved by Jeep and Land Rover.
