Reliable Automobiles- the Top 5 Most Reliable Cars on the Market

This list is in in particular order as all the cars on this list scored very closely in regards to vehicle reliability. Whichever car you end up buying you just can't go wrong and if reliability is on your mind none of these cars will disappoint.

It should surprise no one that the Honda Accord is on the list. Honda has been scoring very high on customer satisfaction, resale and that is mostly due to the reliability that the Honda Accord offers.

Another offering from Honda would be the Honda Civic as it provides all the safety and reliability that the accord does. Due to the Civic being a less expensive model means that the resale value is not as high as the Accord but if you're primarily concerned about reliability and plan to hold onto the car then the Civic is a great choice.

This next one is going to be out of many peoples price range but the fact remains that Mercedes would end up on this list. Lets face facts, Mercedes makes a quality product. They always have and they always will. A friend of mine owns a Mercedes SLK 26 and he is thrilled with it. If you can afford it, Mercedes is always a safe bet. One warning though, Mercedes is an import and even the most reliable cars will eventually need to have parts replaced. Unless your Mercedes is covered by waranty, you can expect to pay a very premium price for parts. Luckily the reliability of Mercedes will make these expenditures few and far between.

This may surprise you but Hyundai is producing some extremely nice and very reliable cars and SUV's now I've heard good things about the Hyundai Accent but I have personally owned a Hyundai Elantra that I absolutely loved. It had about 233,000 miles on it and going strong. Never really needed any major repairs. Winter or summer, when I turned the key the car would come alive instantly. I would still be driving it except it ended up being totaled by a drunk driver. Luckily nobody was hurt and in my opinion that only adds to it's reliability. I walked away without a scratch so if you're driving a Hyundai you're not only driving a reliable car but your driving a car that can reliably save your life.

I have to say that no list, of this nature, is complete without the mention of Acura. From what I have read, heard from friends and even test driven quite a few I would say that the Acura TL is a really nice entry level luxury car. Reliability is this cars middle name and Acura is definitely a plus if you're a single guy on the prowl.

One, or two, words of advice. Don't take my word for it, or anyone else for that matter. Go out and research as much as you can. Test drive every car that you're interested in and ask lots of questions. Ask your friends, ask strangers, go to automobile BBS message boards and read what people are saying. You'll then be in a good position to make an informed decision about which car is right for you.
