my jag is no where near fault free, if something doesn't need to be fixed on it then i get suspicious something expensive is about to break. but all the stuff i've done so far has been low cost. and thats on an 11 year old jag.
the only manufacturer i've had thats been fault free has been the honda. had 2 now and both have been perfect. not an ounce gone wrong, i think all i needed was a new fob battery and thats it.
Pug, nissan, toyota, rover, all had big faults
although toyota were very east to deal with.
as for my wifes cars the VW and the Volvo have been spotless, but her hyundai, and her mums and my dads have been crap. and so was her toyota.
there are very few i think in the industry who get it right. and some are worse than others. but have to say Volvo and VW and honda have been brilliant,
