Interestingly it's above Audi and BMW, both noted for being reliable German cars.
I keep saying, it's not so much the car that's the biggest issue, it's the way the customer is handled by the dealerships.1972 Range Rover Classic 2 door V8
2013 Land Rover Discovery 4 HSE - SCRAPPED
2016 Land Rover Discovery 4 Landmark
2022 Volvo XC40 T5 PHEV 282HP FWD 3 cylinder!

If the car was reliable it would be much less important. I would far rather have reliability than slick or "good" dealer services or manufacturer customer services. Which LR doesn't.

I've never considered Audi or BMW to be reliable cars. Or land rover for that matter

Whats interesting is where Skoda is compared to Audi.
I assume it must be due to the additional tech that higher spec Audis have compared to Skodas that go wrong.
or maybe its all the RS & S model Audis are they are the only ones to have engines which are not in Skoda cars i guess?

Interesting re Volvo. If I was looking at buying a new car (which I'm not) that's the route I would prob go, been thinking that for a while.
