BMW and Honda recognised for reliability

The Honda Civic has been named most reliable car

If reliability is a major factor in your choice of car then a Honda or BMW should be at the top of your shopping list. The FN50 report, a study involving more than 800,000 vehicles conducted by Fleet News and Grant Thornton, concluded that the two carmakers supply the most reliable vehicles. Honda's Civic was named as the most reliable car on the market, while the Japanese automaker's Jazz finished third and its Accord fourth in the survey.

However, those high rankings were only sufficient for Honda to come second in the most reliable manufacturer category. That honour went to BMW, which saw its 3 Series named second most reliable car. The German carmaker's 5 Series and Mini finished fourth and seventh respectively.

BMW's prowess for producing luxury cars has been recognised in a separate study, as its 730Ld model has beaten the Lexus LS600h and Mercedes-Benz S-class to the 2009 Chauffeur Car of the Year title. What's the most reliable car you've ever owned?
