I want a reliable 08 car.
I want to buy a car around 08, which is reliable and cost effective to fix, not a Renault. Maybe German or Asian. Any idea?
Our answer:
Hi Liam,
If it’s reliability you want from a 12-year-old car, go Japanese – look at Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Subaru in the first instance, with Mitsubishi and Suzuki next.
