A flashing dashboard, a plume of smoke, oil on the asphalt. The motorist's nightmare can be avoided by taking a few precautions... or by choosing the right model. In our podcast, this month we're looking back in just over an hour at the breakdowns and bugs that immobilize our beloved vehicles. Here are the main questions we answer: Were cars more reliable in the past? Where do French brands stand on this issue? Is the flattering reputation of Japanese vehicles justified? Do 5- to 7-year manufacturer warranties really cover you? How important is the number of recalls? Are electric cars more reliable than thermal cars? What maintenance tips can help you avoid a breakdown? Find out the answers to all these questions in our show with our experts, Arthur Matal and Nicolas Briouze. As a bonus, we give you our opinion on the Mercedes A-Class in its 200 d version.
