    Here's a list from the UK of the top 10 unluckiest cars, those which have highest percentage of claims per number of that model purchased. Honda for some reason is all over it with 3 in the top 10, I was always under the impression from Top Gear that the Honda models featured below were being bought by the more elderly of drivers rather than younger drivers, here's the list...

    Honda FR-V
    Volvo XC90
    Lexus RX
    Mazda 5
    Volkswagen Touran
    Honda Jazz
    Honda CR-V
    Hyundai Santa Fe
    Toyota Rav
    Mazda 3

    Claims percentage for that particular model, could be crashing, stolen or accidental claims.

    I could think of a few models to add to that top 10 for this country with all the cars that are being robbed of late.

    6-7 of them are SUV/jeep types, bizarre.

    the rav , crv , rx and xc were quite fashionable as a property developers missus jeep in the pre-recession , id say thats where its coming from

    So is there a list of the 'luckiest' cars?

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles or cartons to avoid the DRS fee.

    Don't they say Blue/Navy is the most crashed colour in the world?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,929 ✭✭✭✭ShadowHearth


    they all suvs and 7 seaters. ussually soccermum cars, becouse they think those are bigger and safer cars...

    maybe the reason why they crash,becouse they are big fat and hard to control or stop?

    ironicly no sports cars and ..... wait for it....... hybrid! :D

    Honda FR-V - Mostly driven by women
    Volvo XC90 - Mostly driven by women
    Lexus RX - Mostly driven by women
    Mazda 5 - Mostly driven by women
    Volkswagen Touran - Mostly driven by women
    Honda Jazz - Mostly driven by women
    Honda CR-V - kind of unisex
    Hyundai Santa Fe - Mostly driven by women
    Toyota Rav - Mostly driven by women
    Mazda 3 - kind of unisex too, although possibly higher percentage of women.

    Leave out the sexism please.
