What reliable car to replace my Ford?
What is the most reliable medium sized car. Have 2010 Ford Focus at present and am very disappointed at repair work required at service. would like to go for similar car 2013/2014
Our answer:
Hi Mary,
If you want the ultimate in reliability then you need to go Japanese, Czech, or Korean - Honda, Toyota, Skoda, Kia, or Hyundai with Honda probably being overall the best.
Mind you, there's nothing like prevention rather than cure, so whatever you buy don't scrimp on servicing.
