Fortunately, the days when you were afraid that your car would stop working spontaneously along the way seem to be over. Modern cars have become mobile computers full of sensors and screens, software and safety systems but, despite all that technology, they prove to be more reliable than ever. The Consumers Association investigated the experiences of more than 30,000 car owners, and what they showed says a lot about how far the automotive world has come in recent years. Almost all brands score more than a passing grade these days. This is not only a compliment to the manufacturers, but also to the technological progress that has been made over the past decades. At the top of the rankings are familiar names such as Lexus, Suzuki, Subaru and Toyota. Lexus has been the leader when it comes to reliability for years. The reason is simple: Japanese brands build cars with an eye for simplicity, quality and sustainability. Less fuss, more solidity. South Korean brands, such as Kia and Hyundai, have also taken huge steps. Where they used to be seen primarily as affordable alternatives, they are now known for their solid technology and good workmanship.
