Hi all,

Say I wanted to buy the most reliable new compact car on the market
right now, the one least likely to ever break down on me in the
future, what would it be?

cheers,

Is "reliablest" even a word?


How is the Lada doing these days? I recall when everyone was talking
about the little Russian car...

When I was in Iceland in 2000, there were quite a few Ladas on the
road plus Lada Nivas (a sturdy 4 wheel drive jeep-like vehicle.) A
documentarian,who filmed on the country's glaciers, claimed they were
far more reliable than Jeeps.


**Yeah, well, that doesn't mean much. Jeeps are always at or near the
bottom of the list in reliability surveys. They often swap positions
with Fiat and Alfa.


Well, now that FIAT owns Chrysler who owns Jeep, some Jeeps (I believe
the Renegade in the US market) are MADE by FIAT,Â* - in Italy, and shares
a platform with one of the FIAT 500 SUV's, so why wouldn't Jeep be right
up there with FIAT?


**It is DOWN there with Fiat and Alfa.

[Aside] A lot of Toyota Landcruisers have stickers on their rear windows
that read:

'Jeep recovery vehicle'





Our homeowner's association actually banned Landcruisers from our development. The sound of those things rusting in the night was keeping babies from sleeping through the night and suspected of poisoning ground water.
