In bygone years, your options for 4x4s were very limited, with only a handful of reputable and established manufacturers on the scene to provide you with a reliable off-road vehicle. However, those days are definitely a long way behind us now, and the selection of available 4x4s has never been greater.
Of course, that diversity has opened up a wealth of competition in the world of 4x4s, which creates some very interesting questions to say the least. For example, 4x4s, being so complex, have never been thought of as especially reliable; despite their formidable specifications, there is simply too much that can go wrong with them. But if you were pushed, what would you say is the most reliable 4×4 on the market?
The ‘Most Reliable’ 4×4
It’s a difficult question, and there’s probably no set answer that will satisfy all comers. However, we have come across one vehicle that could stake a robust claim to that title. The Honda CR-V is the vehicle in question, and was the pick of the Which? Car Survey for this year. Apparently, from a survey of nearly 50,000 people who owned closer to 60,000 vehicles, a grand total of zero Honda CR-V breakdowns were reported, and the annual statistics for reliability and repair were similarly impressive.
Needless to say, this sort of publicity is an astonishing advert for modern-day 4x4s, and for Honda itself as well, who already possesses a long-standing reputation for producing superb examples of vehicular engineering. Of course, this is only the result of one poll from a single source, but given the evidence that has been put forward, it certainly looks like a sound choice for the world’s most reliable 4×4 at present.
4×4 Repairs
It needs to be said that 4x4s, despite their historical unpredictability, can be repaired fairly easily if you’re in possession of the correct parts, and with such care and attention the actual lifespan of these vehicles can be almost indefinite. Here at CWS 4×4, we specialise in providing the broadest collection of Land Rover spare parts and similar components that you could wish to see, so we’re well placed to meet your needs.
We stock spare parts for vehicles that are both old and new, and we can usually find whatever you’re looking for, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with us if you’re seeking something specific. Call us now on +44 (0)1458 834930 or email [email protected] to find out more.
