They are important indicators of how good/bad cars are.

They might affect my decisions when picking up a new car.

Depends on who makes them and how data was gathered.

They can be easily manipulated.

I don't care.

Mazda 3 offcially the most reliable car in Europe

...meanwhile, over here, in Europe, German industrial testing and consultancy company TUV, most known for it's annual reliability reports on cars sold in Europe, published it's newest report just today - still preliminary after processing 50 percent of gathered data.

In the most important category (cars up to 3 years old) Mazdas took first two places.

(sorry, in Czech)

The percentage shows level of serious errors on a particular brand and model. Mazda 3 and Mazda 2 are only cars to have gotten under 2 percent benchmark (1.2 and 1.4 percent respectively).

I'm not going to bother you with how data are collected but I assure you it's all independent and is based on data taken from 7 million cars across Germany.

Mazda 2 in question is older model that was replaced this autumn.
