    • Hi Joshua,

      I see you have got keen eyes and a good taste in automotive. Sadly, the Fiat Linea and Punto have been discontinued and the ones on the list are the ones that are currently in production. Hope you understand that even after having heard about the cars, why Mr Ritvik Gupta, that is me, had to refrain from adding these into the list.

  1. Nothing can beat Toyota. Most reliable brand in world for last 10 years. Add YARIS. Second comes Tata and third Mahindra as overall brand reliability. I am mechnic with 30 years experience and have seen mahindra and tata go above 10 lakh miles on same engine.
