Is it a myth that German diesels are the most reliable?
I'll leave the model variation questions to RS2K, Ford Jedi and a few but...
Yes. If you are considering a diesel in and around the 2L mark: Honda Accord. No question.
...........but isn't the Honda a Japanese diesel engine now? I thought they used to use German but recently (the 'New Shape') are their own, no?
One last question. Is it a myth that German diesels are the most reliable? Recently someone assured me that these had been overtaken by French diesels (which I found it difficult to believe). Where do Korean and Japanese diesels come in this league of excellence..........or is it all bunkum?
Perhaps your question should be what car is the most reliable with a diesel engine?
Uacht..........I noticed the Honda emission levels listed in "What Car?" were ratehr high and wondered about that given their brilliant t.v. advertisement.
Given these responses I'm puzzled about the (usually!) dismissive attitude to Peugeot who are described in a recent ""What Car?" as also-rans

How would you rate a Skoda Fabia 1.9 TDi with a Green Rating of C and mpg of 57.7?
Would this be the same diesel as the 'Car of the Year' Volkswagen Golf?
I don't know if it is a British anti French thing but you never see the same level of hostility to French motors in European magazines as you do in the British ones. Perhaps the dealership in the UK for these motors are bad?
I have seen AA stats for the 407's and they are no worse than Mondeo's or Passat's etc for failures
The Fabia VRs is a brilliant car and if it had a VW badge would be the one most seen on the roads instead of the Golf.
