What is the top 2 most reliable brand new cars(2014-2015) here in the Philippines?

[dr. d]

the most reliable, is the one you religiously maintain. whatever the brand.
so there!

but seriously, when it comes to reliability, some believe the japanese are ahead of everybody else on this planet. some say the "L" brand is arguably the best...

btw, be aware (beware!) that casa maintenance is premised on "replace as scheduled" and "replace on demand", rather than "replace as needed"...

The Rolls might argue that theirs is the most reliable, but they have certainly priced themselves out of our (and some countries') budgets..

so what's my experience on reliability? my 9 year old diesel innova has had no major breakdowns.. only wear and tear.

have fun.

Suwerte suwerte din, tiempohan kahit anong brand at model di maiwasan may
lumabas na lemon car. Di mo naman pwedeng testingin bago mo bilhin.

it could be hard to generalize imho..... depende talaga sa gumagamit yan eh. and durability in terms of what? engine? suspension? airconditioning system?

some say that the Isuzu engines are like tanks.... virtually indestructible, pero have not have the experience of having one. suspension? the most durable unit that I've used suspension-wise is my Sentra.... Did not gave me headaches compared to my Mitsubishis and my current Hyundai Getz.

pero if we are to talk really durable, it should be the old VW beetle. I used to own one....

Consider these things first. 1) Driver 2) Your daily routine and lifestyle. 3) Low maintenance cost = Japanese cars. You can always buy parts outside CASA. 4) All brands are reliable as long as the owner is religious on its maintenance. 5) If you have money go for european cars.

2010 Hyundai Starex - 40k mileage - repairs: major engine breakdown, very unreliable, naka-parada lang sa bahay, regular pms sa shell.

same as my Hyundai Getz 2007.... Major engine breakdown last year.... Only recourse is to have an engine change.

hindi ba Dyip at Jeepney ang reliable sa Philippines? since 1950 pa still running...

san ka ba mag base ng reliability? pwede kasi na kaya hindi nasisira kasi bihira gamitin. pwede naman na madalas masira kasi bugbog naman sa gamit?

ang jeepney naman ang nagtatagal ay kaha, ung engine at pang ilalim pinapalitan since allowed naman ng LTO ung repairs. kaya hindi nakakapagtaka na meron pa din jeep na matanda na sa papel.
