Our data is based on how frequently cars suffered faults, and for those that did, how much they cost to put right and how long they kept the car off the road. Using this information we've created unique reliability ratings for 248 models from 32 different brands.
Here we're looking exclusively at the results for cars aged up to five years old, and we've rated all the sports cars, coupés and convertibles we were told about. We reveal the 10 with the fewest problems and the five that languished in workshops for longest and racked up the most expensive repair bills.
