Consumer Reports... Reliabity

Although I take CR ratings with a grain of salt when it comes to vehicles (what they emphasize as important isn't the same for me), the ratings for reliability are much more empirical and fair.

Here is a link for most and least reliable reliable cars by class. Flip through the slides.

Two things stand out to me. One, the lopsided presence of Toyota/Lexus for most reliable... easily over 50% of the classes. Two, the mentioning of the Colorado/Canyon as least reliable.

As if we didn't already know these things.

 

LEAST RELIABLE FORD FIESTA? Come on, you can change the colors of the lights in the interior. That's gotta count for something.

 

No real surprises there. Reliability is #1 for me. IMO it is probably a good thing for some manufacturers (GM and Chrysler specifically come to mind) that not everyone feels that way.
