Myth by Ikenna351 Citroen C4 is a beautiful car Fact: The C4 has a mixed reliability record, usually finishing in the middle to bottom half of any surveys. Citroën as a brand finished in 28th place out of 32 manufacturers in our most recent reliability survey – a disappointing result |

weyreypey:The Camry 'muscle' is not a perfect car but it's still a very good buy the fact that it burns oil doesn't make it unreliable. The melting dashboard is aesthetically unpleasing however little, low cost fixes can be made like wrapping the dash in leather or just placing a ready made well tailored mat on it. 18 Likes 3 Shares |

Myth: The landrover Freelander....is a reliable off-roader.... False!! Fact: The Land Rover Freelander was released onto the market with over 132 serious faults, all of which were known to management as the vehicles rolled out the door. You’d think that the people who produced this car would be in prison. But that’s not how it works in the motor industry. In fact Rover 1.8 and 2.5 V6 petrol engines were designed by Satan and assembled by monkeys. Many Freelander owners needed new petrol en- gines from as little as 10,000km from new. Few engines made it to 50,000km; almost none made it to 70,000km. 38 Likes 4 Shares
