Prius, Golf, Avensis, BMW
Thing is my parents drive a Golf and it has broken down many times (5 times in the 1st year) - so that puts me off the brand, it ended up with a new engine in the end as it threw a con rod, 6K old.
Prius - "green" image, not that I'm green minded in any way, having driven one i am really surprised at how well it went.
BMW poor image - poor reliability according to some forums, turbo's failing early fairly common.
Avensis - it it just a little bland? good car though.....
