Among the most reliable are the Japanese.
News Colombia.
Buying a car is not just a design or comfort decision: the real difference is in the durability of the motor and in the maintenance costs. A reliable vehicle is synonymous with tranquility and savings, something that mechanics know better than anyone, because it is they who face the most frequent repairs in the workshops daily.
With that criterion, a creator of content in Tiktok (@distriexpreswarnes) interviewed several specialists to know what are the cars that “last a lifetime” and which, on the other hand, usually leave their owners stranded.
The favorites in the workshops
In the answers, the Japanese models were the great winners.
- Toyota He received most praise. Mechanics define it as “insurmountable” and especially stand out to Corollawho uses distribution chain Instead of Correa bathed in oil, avoiding serious engine failures.
- Sling It also appears on the trust list, especially with the CR-V, HR-V and FITdescribed as cars that “do not break” and that maintain their performance for years.
In the words of a specialist: “They have no problem absolutely.”
The ones that generate the most
On the opposite side, the mechanics did not hesitate to point out brands and models that, according to their experience, spend more time in the workshops:
- Peugeot: he 208 It was pointed out as one of the most problematic, together with the 308 and 408due to electronic failures, in the air conditioning and in expensive spare parts.
- Ford: Three -cylinder engines with Oil bathed distribution strap They were criticized for damage quickly. “Those are always cut, do not last any kilometers,” said an expert.
- Renault Kwid: Some mechanics described it as a low quality car, even with phrases like “goes back to me.”
@distriexpreswarnes I ask mechanics according to their experience and opinion which is the best car. They were practically agree with 2 Japanese brands! Do you agree with them? To which is the best? #Autos #Carros #sling #Toyota ♬ Original sound – Seba Franko
The conclusion
Although these opinions are based on the daily experience in the workshops and not on technical studies, the consensus is clear:
- Toyota and Honda offer a difficult reliability to overcome.
- Peugeot, certain Ford motors and the Renault Kwid generate more visits to the mechanic.
In the end, choosing well not only means having a last car, but also saving thousands in unnecessary repairs.
