Car by Car Breakdown - Dogbreath2
In the car-by-car breakdown HJ adds RECOMMENDED in relation to the Mondeo and the V70. HJ then goes on to list a raft of faults and problems for each car.

In view of these faults I can\'t see why these cars are recommended over (say) a Jap equivalent.

Is it that the qualities of each of these cars outweighs their faults? Or are the faults in reality limited to a small number of cars, with general reliability being pretty good?

Due to experiences in my Dad\'s old Renaults and Citroens as a kid, I have a phobia about unreliable cars. His Renault 16 used to overheat on every long trip.
