In seven of eight classes German cars are the most reliable according to the German Automobile Association breakdown statistics
Google Translation of an Autozeitung.de article


The cars from German manufacturers particularly are. That found out the General German Automobile Association during the evaluation of 1.95 million breakdowns, with which the “yellow angels” of the autoclub were called in the past year to assistance. In seven of eight autocategories the domestic vehicles would lie in front, communicated the General German Automobile Association. With it continue a trend, which already appeared in the past two years. With exception of the Minivan class, in which Mazda and Mitsubishi lead together, come the remaining seven class winners of AUDI, Mercedes, BMW and Volkswagen.

In the small Fahrzeugklasse the AUDI a2 and BMW mini lie on the first two places, followed from the Renault mode. In the lower middle class the 1er BMW class-best, followed of the Mazda 323 and the AUDI A3 is. In the middle class, Mercedes C class and 3er BMW the Siegertrio form AUDI A4. In the upper central/upper class the AUDI A6 before Mercedes S-class and the 5er BMW lies. With the sports cars/Cabrios leads Mercedes CLK - in only four vehicles the small field - before BMW the 3er-Cabrio, Mercedes the SLK and the Peugeot 206 CC.

With the jeeps BMW X3, in front followed of Mercedes the ML and Toyota the RAV4 drives. In the class of the Minivans the Mazda Premacy and the Mitsubishi - both are not any more in the selling program - cut off best, the VOLKSWAGEN Touran came at place three. With the larger Vans the VOLKSWAGEN Sharan came followed after place unity, from the VOLKSWAGEN T4/T5 and the Fiat Ducato.

Into the valuation for the General German Automobile Association breakdown statistics only until six years old cars, which were long essentially invariably built at least three years and in one year 10,000 new permissions reached, came. As source of breakdown number unity (460,876 cases) was located again once the battery, followed of the flat tyres (135,645 cases). Related to building groups were allotted over half of the breakdowns to ignition and electrical connection. Problems with the engine (7.9 per cent), wheels and tire (6.7 per cent), fuel injection systems (6.6 per cent), cooling and heating (6.0 per cent) and the fuel system (5.9 per cent) followed.

Yeah because Lexus and Toyota were not included. Maybe Honda was dumped too. Those German cars were "reliable" when they competed against other European junk. So basically a BMW breaking down 45 times in a month is considered reliable when compared to an Audi which breaks down maybe 70 times a month. Simple math.

Very true, on average my BMW breaks down twice every time I try to drive it somewhere, as does every other BMW. Yet this survey compiled from actual breakdowns by the leading breakdown service in Germany tries to tell me otherwise? Lies, damn lies I say... lol.

Thank you for those kind words. I think the IS350 should suit you well. It's fast, handles superbly and is very comfortable too.

German cars top the Japanese ones even when it comes to reliability? Well, we German car owners already knew that. Hopefully the poor souls that keep thinking that their Japanese junk is reliable will open their eyes and see the light.

Notice the words "according to German Automobile Association" what a joke.

The only joke here is you and your fellow idiotic Lexus friends.

The ADAC has also shown statistics for poor performing German cars, yet in this survey the cars were reliable.

Idiot.

According to all the nay sayers on this post, this isn't a fair or reliable article because it's from a German Automotive Club? Well according to all of you if the AAA compiled all their assistance data and it showed that American Cars had less breakdowns they'd be lying too. Well that's just BS. Statistics and facts are just what they are. AAA doesn't care who is more reliable so why would this Auto Club care!!? Who really cares anyway, Reliability is in the hand of the key holder and if your car doesn't have issues than it's the most reliable (Like my 2003 Mazda6, 1996 328I, 1988 Celica and even the 1991 Dodge Spirit)!!

This survey is actually a more reliable way of determining a cars reliability than a JD Power or Consumer Reports survey because its compiled from actual breakdowns, and takes the owners own pre-conceived notions of how reliable the car should have been out of it. This is hard data of which cars broke down the least, not some list compiled from people posting in questionares.
