When thinking about buying a car, it is important to consider a number of things. You will want to know if the car is good at fuel consumption, if it will be expensive to maintain, and if it loses value too quickly.
But there's one more super important thing: finding out if the car is having problems. After all, who wants a car that is always at the mechanic, right? With that in mind, we made a list of cars that hardly give you a headache and that mechanics rarely see in workshops.

How was our ranking created?
Proteste, a Brazilian organization focused on consumer protection, regularly carries out evaluations and provides reports on various products, including cars.
The following list was developed after analyzing 3,027 feedbacks from the entity's members. This analysis allowed the creation of a rating system that ranges from 0 to 100, adjusting the score based on the severity of the problems that the vehicles presented over a period of one year.

On the other hand, there are models that are a source of pride for their owners, both due to the simplicity of repairing them and the rare need to take them to a specialized service.

10 – GM Chevrolet Prisma.
The Chevrolet Prisma, which was later renamed Onix Plus, is a compact sedan developed by General Motors do Brasil. Initially, the Prisma was based on the Chevrolet Celta, but subsequent generations adopted the Chevrolet Onix platform.
The Prisma's transition from the first to the second generation represented a significant evolutionary leap in several aspects, including engine, design, finish and drivability. The second generation featured SPE/4 1.0L and 1.4L engines, with outputs of 80 hp and 106 hp, respectively, when fueled with ethanol.
In terms of design, the Prisma underwent a facelift in 2016, receiving updates to the front and rear of the vehicle, as well as improvements to the MyLink system and the OnStar concierge system. The model was well accepted in the market, being the best-selling sedan in Brazil in 2015.
For more detailed information about price, consumption and reviews, I recommend consulting directly with Chevrolet dealerships or specialized automobile websites, as these details may vary depending on the model year and region.

In general terms, the Chevrolet Onix 2024 represents a balanced combination of efficiency, technology and accessibility, making it a popular choice in the Brazilian market.
