Notice how the most reliable cars are all <beep>, all the interesting cars seem to be the least reliable... Made me chuckle seeing the C5 on the top too, saying that, in 14,000 miles and 14 months, the only thing that has gone wrong on mine has been a parking sensor which is probably the same as they use on loads of different VAG cars so not RS 6 specific.

That's not really fair because it takes repair cost into consideration, a vauxhall corsa will always cost loads less to repair than a C5, the corsa could break down twice as much but cost a tenth to repair therefore ranking the corsa higher, don't get me wrong I'm not saying these are as reliable as a Honda but I doubt there the least reliable cars on the road

Just read that it's affected by the value of claims - we all know they're not cheap to repair, and because of that, more owners are likely to claim.

I for one am relieved - and carry on with the hunt for one!
