Some cars come out better because of the warranty and or the main dealers. If you buy a car with a 7 year warranty it is unlikely to appear in one of these tables because by the time it is 8 years old nobody is going to go to the expense of a warranty. Also some manufacturers seem to do better than others with warranty claims. JLR are terrible not only in there response but once they have the car they do the minimum to get the car out again where as a lot of the Japanese manufacturers will do a lot more and in some cases wont let the owner have the car back until they are 100% happy with it.

If you are not sure about the reliability of a model of car go on line and see what it will cost to extend the warranty by an independent company, the lower the cost in a lot of cases means they have had little or no trouble with them. You will be amazed at how badly some cars fare including some Japanese and German models.
