We had better luck with the MINI, even though ours is the 2002 'glitchy' model...........we expected power steering failure but it took 8 years to occur........not bad imo.......
Still rather buy a european car............once you drive one, Japanese cars feel like sheit..........

In T&T we have a notion that once its not a brand you can buy used and abused from Japan/Singapore and still get a new car smell, it not reliable.

ppl need to get out and appreciate things for what they are worth and not rely "ah hear a partner say...." If not they will be left behind as the world moves on and buys Hyundai, Kia, Chevy, Skoda etc. cars that have some models which outclass their comparable Japanese models in every class.....including reliability.MG Man wrote:.......they supposed to have improved by now though

Well fleet vehicles are a bit different I think because they would have a strict maintenance schedule and little expense would be spared to keep them running. I wonder about someone who has a Punto or a bravo to Weigh in on the situation in terms of what they think about the reliability of the local Fiat vehicles.

People should buy cars which suit their fancy for looks, performance, m'tce, and whatever else is important to them.
Buy what makes you happy.
Brand loyalty (and by extension JDM vs Euro loyalty) to me, is a farce.
Having to justify why one is better than the other is almost a form of immaturity IMHO.
