Tuco88 wrote: » It's almost pointless comparing car reliability now, most share common parts and are made in china. Cars stopped being built well in the 90s early 00s. Most brands had a decent made car at the time. An 80s or early 90s e-class benz diesel is actually a tank. More so being Toyota at the time Carina/Corrolla and Hilux, not to forget a 90s Honda.

They sell them in Tesco so we use them as an emergency standby, but making your own tomato sauce is so easy that most of the time the jar stays in the cupboard. We never buy Dolmio. When's-a your pasta day me arse.

Most of it is crazy expensive for what you actually get, and there are far superior options out there even in smaller towns at a much lower price. I just don’t understand the obsession some have with it, seems like a genuine addiction for many.

Take the JD Power car reliability survey. Its published every year and is highly regarded. In 2019 its bottom 5 brands, in descending order were Mercedes Benz, Jaguar-Land Rover, Audi, Fiat and dead last, BMW. Meanwhile, in ascending order, its 5 top brands were Suzuki, Nissan, Hyundai, Skoda and at No 1, Peugeot. Now, while those top rated brands are doing a very good job of providing reliable, enjoyable cars, with good dealer support and satisfactory servicing costs, the report doesn't mean that BMW are making cars that are falling apart, rusting away, breaking down daily, cost thousands to repair the smallest thing and have the most ignorant unhelpful dealers - its the perception of what daily utility someone expects to get from a €30,000 car versus the expectation a person has of a say, €70,000 car... I'd like to see a few threads.... What Brands you have bought that have given you brilliant service, that you would buy again without hesitation and recommend to others. What Brands you have bought that have been in terms of quality, reliability, durability, longevity, manufacturer support etc, a disappointment and not one you would buy again or recommend to anyone. What generic or unbranded/own brands have you been impressed by and would recommend to others as a substitute for better known or long standing brand name products.

The jarred stuff is full of sugar. Maybe there's some sugar in the canned tomatoes but you can definitely taste the sweetness from the jarred sauces.
