Default German ADAC: Germans beat Japanese in reliability this year (X3 most reliable car)

German ADAC, similar to AAA, every year ranks all the vehicles on German market for reliability. Last ten or so years list was dominated by Japanese this year however things took miraculous turn and Germans top the list. Eight out of top 10 most reliable cars are German made. Most reliable car is BMW X3.

HERE IS TRANSLATED LINK or ORIGINAL

German cars are from Japanese
"Best Quality" for BMW X3 before Audi A2 and BMW 1

German cars have the backlog in terms of reliability compared to the Japanese more than made up for the trophy for the best quality-price "ADAC Gelber Engel 2008" goes to the BMW X3.

Also on the squares landed two to four with the Audi A2, BMW 1 Series and BMW Mini cars exclusively from Germany. Die japanischen Hersteller, die diese Kategorie in den vergangenen Jahren fast nach Belieben dominierten und alle bisherigen Sieger stellten, konnten mit dem Mazda 3 (Rang 5) und dem Mitsubishi Space Star (10.) nur zwei Autos unter den ersten Zehn platzieren. The Japanese manufacturer of this type in recent years, nearly as much as you like and dominated all previous winners presented were the Mazda 3 (Rank 5) and the Mitsubishi Space Star (10th), only two cars in the top ten place. Ermittelt werden die Preisträger in dieser Kategorie aus den Ergebnissen der ADAC-Pannenstatistik und der Kundenzufriedenheitsstudie der ADACmotorwelt. Determined to be the winners in this category from the results of the ADAC breakdown statistics and customer satisfaction study by the ADACmotorwelt.

Crucial to the clear success of the German manufacturer was the improved performance of the German cars at the last ADAC breakdown statistics. Sieben der acht Top-1-Positionen in den einzelnen Klassen gingen an deutsche Fabrikate. Seven of the eight top-1 positions in the various categories went to German brands. Mit Ausnahme der Minivan-Klasse, in der Mazda und Mitsubishi gemeinsam führen, kommen die restlichen sieben Klassensieger von Audi, Mercedes, BMW und Volkswagen. With the exception of the minivan class, in the Mazda and Mitsubishi jointly lead, the remaining seven class winners from Audi, Mercedes, BMW and Volkswagen. Damit hat sich ein Trend bestätigt, der sich bereits seit zwei Jahren abzeichnet. This has confirmed a trend that was already two years since emerging. Die deutschen Unternehmen haben mit Qualitätsoffensiven auf die zum Teil herbe Kritik an der Zuverlässigkeit ihrer Produkte geantwortet. The German companies have Qualitätsoffensiven partly to the harsh criticism of the reliability of their products replied.

Previously were in the category of "quality" in each year at least five candidates from Japan among the top ten say. 2005 waren es sogar neun Fahrzeuge aus Fernost. 2005, it was even nine vehicles from the Far East. Die bisherigen Sieger hießen Toyota Avensis (2005), Toyota Yaris (2006) und Mazda Premacy (2007). The previous winners were Toyota Avensis (2005), Toyota Yaris (2006) and Mazda Premacy (2007).

The ADAC price "Yellow Angel" 2008 will be on 17 Januar 2008 bei einem Festakt in München für das »Lieblingsauto der Deutschen«, die beste »Marke«, die herausragende Einführung im Bereich »Innovation und Umwelt«, die beste »Qualität« und für eine verdienstvolle »Persönlichkeit« vergeben. January 2008 for a ceremony in Munich for the "favorite car of the Germans", the "best brand", the outstanding introduction in the 'Innovation and the Environment ", the" best quality "and for a creditable" personality ".

Great news for BMW & X3 owners alike.. The X3 has been solid for me to date . So much fun to drive in all seasons. Heck, there are some cars that have a difficult time in the corners vs. the X3..

There is breaking news regarding the X3's chassis mate from our favorite mag Consumer Reports.. All red dots for 07 BMW 3 series... Are they finally seeing the light?

Good scores...although I think Lexus figures are too small in Germany to get a sizeable sample.
