Review of the Top 5 Fleet Vehicles
11 May
When you’re choosing vehicles for your fleet, factors like style, fashion and performance take second place to more practical considerations.
To help you pick from the hundreds of vehicles on sale, we’ve selected five of which we believe to be the best – based on the more cost-effective criteria of reliability.
Hatchback - Honda Jazz
The least-likely car to break down in Britain is this humble Japanese supermini. The Jazz is the best-rated vehicle in the definitive Reliability Index, the Consumer Association’s ‘Which Car?’ Best Buy and AutoExpress reader’s number-one reliable car. Little wonder Honda can offer a re-assuring 90,000-mile warranty.
Small executive - Mercedes Benz C-Class Coupe
You may be surprised to hear that after a period of dodgy build-quality, Mercedes now makes executive cars that are more reliable than its German rivals. The CLC offers prestige and practicality, and is the compact executive car least likely to need repairs.
Saloon and estate - Honda Accord
Another Honda? Yes, the Japanese manufacturer’s motorway mile-cruncher is the UK’s most reliable family saloon or estate. You’ll have to be quick though, the Accord may be a fleet favourite but declining private sales mean that imports are likely to stop later this year.
