I have a friend who is in his 2nd jeep wrangler unlimited within 12 months. His first was bought back by Chrysler and now his 2nd has the same, incurable problem. My Honda Ridgeline has been flawless in reliability, comfort, towing and off road at 33k. see full Honda Ridgeline review |

Hondas have a reputation for durability and value. This is our third Honda. Those before had no problems beyond routine maintenance. You take care of a Honda and it will last. see full Honda Ridgeline review |

2013 | 4dr Sedan turbocharged 140hp 2.0L I4 Diesel 6-speed automated manual FWD |
It's been interesting to see the mixed reactions I get when people learn that I bought a VW. I'm known for my research-minded ways when it comes to big decisions, so I think the reliability (or lack thereof) reputation that Volkswagen has caused people to be surprised by my purchase. But for as many horror stories that I've read or heard, I've also heard from many owners who swear by and love their VWs and have had minor to no issues. Given how in love with my car I am after just one week...I get why VW owners love their cars (but, I'll admit, I still have my fingers crossed that I won't be plagued with too many quirks or issues). see full Volkswagen Jetta review |

That people automatically assume that all VWs are unreliable just because they had problems with their cars in the late 90s/early 00s. The new Jetta and Rabbit are MUCH better than they used to be. The TDIs especially are very reliable. see full Volkswagen Jetta review |
