The 5 is even better, even if it is bigger and have more room inside than some pikey wagons

But the first ones had an arse even a mother would struggle to like


These surveys are all wank.  I notice a few years back that the 5 series was the worlds most electrically reliable car and the early L322 RR was the worlds worse electrically reliable car.  This, despite the fact they are electrically identical, sharing the same electronics and ECUs and interconnect principles.

Laughable.

Not that the Brummies forgetting to plug it all together properly had any bearing on anything working reliably... Much

As you well know, I have access to (manufacturer's) warranty stats, and post BMW era JLR do not suffer build quality issues TBH.

Would I buy the following   
Landrover : NO
Mini : No, SIL had one & they had to remove the front of the car to replace a rubber belt
Old astra No, newer astra : maybe
Frenchies : NO
Merc : No, mate works for them & is kept super busy delivering spares around the south coast
Spanish / italian : NO

Most reliable is Honda & yet they now have a problem with the new 1.5t petol engine

Honda's reliability has been average for a couple of decades now.
