Any surprises?
Personally, I'm not surprised to see the inclusion of Honda Accord, yet; Nigerians for some reason, believe that Honda is one of the most reliable brands.
Thoughts?

The honda accord mentioned here esp 2003 is v6 version notorious for transmission failure. Your list should make that comparison esp between i4 and v6 models of same car including MT or AT

Honda civic 2001 is very reliable. I don't know what you are talking about. Been using it for 14 years.

To all those questioning the list, I hope you all realise I didn't just wake up one morning, and decided to compile a list of problematic cars, by random selection?
The list is based on complaints by the owners of the cars, over a period of time.
I know some of you mentioned some car brands that should have made the list, but come to think of it, if that list was increased to 30-40, I'm pretty sure some of the brands you mentioned would've popped up!

However, for now; those car brands on the list, were the ones with the most complaints.
So please, don't shoot the messenger.
I provided a link, maybe you can take a minute to visit the site, and actually read about the complaints made by the owners.
