THERE HAS BEEN a significant shift in the new car market in the past year or two, with a massive increase in the number of hybrid and pure electric models being offered by existing brands and some newer ones. That means buyers have more choice than ever when it comes to choosing their next car, but it also poses some serious questions about quality, dependability and dealer service. Should you buy a new electric or hybrid model, or stick with the tried and tested petrol and diesel alternatives? It’s an important question that the annual What Car? Reliability Survey can help to answer.
That’s because our survey, conducted in association with MotorEasy, reveals the real-life experiences of nearly 22,000 car owners (including the owners of 29 pure electric models), providing a great indication of which cars are the most dependable and which ones cause the most headaches.
