Hi,

Looking to buy a hatchback and am torn between these. Which would be my best option in terms of reliability, etc?

Mazda Axela 2004
Alfa Romeo 147 Selespeed - 2001 - 2004
Fiat Stilo Arbath 2003
Audi A3

While the others are far better looking and no doubt more fun to drive, the Mazda would leave them all well behind in terms of reliability.

The Alfa with Selespeed is definitely high risk.

How about the manual version of the Alfa Romeo 147?

Risk reduced heaps but still far from bullet proof.
