Here's another article:

Though, it's important to note that some of these Japanese vehicles are actually European made and not sourced from Japan like the same model is here. Eg, Look at Suzuki.

They also don't have the Camry in that market.

How is Skoda more reliable than VW??? They are the same under the dress. I think I worked it out: They've only sold one Skoda and by chance it has been reliable 82.5% of the time.

It's a customer experience survey of sorts, it's well known that skoda dealers after sales service is very very good, thats robably why.

Too bad the euro isn't as reliable here.

I have never had a problem with Honda reliability & I think they would be hard to beat in that regard

It is reliable, it's just dealer service experience and pricing is crap and part pricing is just.... Lol

one of the reasons i bought my CU2 was its reliability for long term.. and the extra 5 yrs warranty more assurance (although usually things break after the warranty period is finished..).

i had no problems with my CL9 except the noisy front brakes.

the CU2 has been so far so good except the rear parcel dynamic damper rattle which will get fixed this month at Hornsby Honda.

and yes, dealer service costs are crap and that's why i'd only bring it there for warranty claims, all other services are done at Top One.

my only complaints on the CU2 are:
- fuel usage is 12L/100km for city driving
- thin & soft paint
- stupid GPS on the luxury model!

I've noticed my fuel consumption in the city is crappy as well, I had to reset ecu once a while stop the car from running stupefyingly rich...

A Hondata reflash may be in order for the car to run leaner.
