As the saying goes, “It’s not how fast you can go, but how far you can get”—and in today’s world, a dependable car is crucial for getting you wherever you need to go.

Reliability, or how consistently a vehicle performs without experiencing mechanical failures or issues over time, remains a key factor when choosing which brand of vehicle to purchase.

This graphic, via Visual Capitalist's Kayla Zhu, visualizes the predicted reliability scores of various automakers, as ranked by Consumer Reports. The data is updated as of November 2023.

I'm kind of surprised to see Mini near the top and VW and Mercedes near the bottom.

I don't know shit about cars anymore other than they're all lookalike SUVs or shitbox sedans like Kim's. Her car is so non-descript, I couldn't tell you if it's a Toyota, Hyundai or Kia.

It's white. I think they all are.

MINI is BMW. Only thing it has in common with Issigonis' Mini (Morris, Autin, BMC, Leyland et all) is the name and poorly done, derivative styling. Scotty K had to fix headlight on one, the wires were something like would be used on model train diorama to power street lights.

Issigonis Mini:
Kerb weight: 580–686 kg (1,279–1,512 lb) - Kerb, lol

A front wheel drive car that light must be a hoot to drive. Other specs considered, of course, most of which seem bang on with the Mini.

The Clown Car is surprisingly fast considering it only has a 1,000cc 3 cylinder motor. Not sure about the handling, I don't push it too hard. Not sure about lift throttle oversteer, I'm getting too old to get killed again.

...the wires were something like would be used on model train diorama to power street lights.

The CC is like that. Maybe 24 or 26ga.

That doesn't say much for how well it handles, lol.

I don't drive aggressively, but if there is a lot of traffic I do my best not to dawdle, and sometimes that requires me to step outside my hypermiling regimen. The Corolla handles darting through city traffic beautifully. The Mustang I had required much heavier inputs, and much more finesse. Push the gas in the Corolla and the RPMs go up as the CVT adjusts. To get action in the Mustang usually required enough pedal to kick it down a gear. Usually with dramatic yet unproductive results.

I should ask Chip if the CC has tachometer wiring in the dash. Some trim levels had a clock and tach mounted on top of the dash in the center. I'm kind of hesitant to use the paddle shifters not knowing what the engine is doing. I've got too much invested now to blow it up.

I could look it up, but does CC use Dual Clutch Automatic or CVT?

It's a 5-speed manual gearbox with an automatic clutch (no clutch pedal) I've heard it called a semi-automatic.

My mother was a Cord nut. I built her a 1/24 810 model kit when I was a little kid and still didn't understand how plastic cement worked yet. It wasn't great, like yours are.

I wonder where that went? She still had it when she died. I was the executor.
