Why We Need More Information on Vehicle Reliability
Local car manufacturers have long been reluctant to release information about vehicle reliability, just as they were with repair data until developments prompted a change. While those changes were a promising sign for motorists, not much else has changed on the reliability front.
Still, the current standards and practices just aren’t good enough. Your new vehicle is likely to be the second largest individual purchase you’ll make in your lifetime. No one wants to end up with a ‘lemon’, so it follows that manufacturers should be more open when it comes to publishing information about vehicle reliability. That is, if they genuinely value their customers loyalty.
Hyundai and Hydrogen
I’m showing my age a bit when I say that I can remember some of the earlier Hyundai cars – the Hyundai Pony and Hyundai Excel come to mind. Back in the 80s and early 90s, Hyundai cars were light, comfortable, and not really up to the same safety standards as the cars that were produced in other parts of the world. Nowadays, however, the story is completely different, and the South Korean automaker often tops crash safety tests with their vehicles, the vehicles are still comfortable, and the style and technology has won many awards. Hyundai has been always improving to the point where they are now a premium brand, very desirable, and leading the world on many fronts. Key new innovations from the Hyundai Motor Company (HMC) team are exciting and are part of Hyundai’s vision for building a cleaner, greener world that includes vehicles that no longer rely on fossil fuels.
Most Reliable Cars in 2021
How reliable a car is directly correlates with our ownership satisfaction rating, right? So, if we own a car that is always needing something fixed or repaired to make it properly functional, our contentment levels will be lower than if our car was reliable all or at least most of the time. It won’t take long for an unreliable car to start to irk us. Reliability is always a black and white area when it comes to car ownership satisfaction.
What car? has recently published their survey findings for 2021. They questioned more than 16,000 people across the UK who owned a car no older than 5 years old, and this is the results that show which cars and brands are the most reliable, and which ones are not. Is it possible that the more reliable a car is, the more green and sustainable the car is?
Honda’s Latest
As with many other automotive manufacturers, Honda is on the hunt for having its fleet become fully electrified. Honda’s vision is to have 100% of its new vehicles with zero emissions by 2040. There are some neat EV models in the pipeline, but also some vehicles that help transition the gap from petrol to hybrid to 100% electric. Honda’s 2022 Civic models are set to be enjoyable.
