Mini? how the hell did that happen
What was subaru at prior to the STI being canceled?
CR has always hated Ford products. I’ve been a Ford owner since 1977. Just Fords. Eight of them. Never had any trouble. Yet, they rate foreign shit higher and more reliable?
You know what Ford stands for doncha? Fix it again tony!
I have never been stranded by the failure of any of my Ford vehicles. Some I had for 2 years by choice and others I had for 19 years by choice. My 2022 Escape Titanium with every option except a moonroof has, like my 2019 Escape Titanium, never needed to be fixed by the dealership. Zero problems. None.
Land Rover am I a joke to you?
Consumer reports scores vehicles based on the number of problems per 100 cars reported to them by their subscribers. If they don’t have enough reviews sent in to make a reliable data set, they don’t publish a score.
Land Rover is very niche in North America, and the kind of people who buy them have the money not to worry about reliability anyways.
For what it’s worth, Land Rover has traditionally done VERY poorly in years past when they have had enough reports on them to publish a result.
Land Rover has the lowest new-to-new loyalty of any manufacturer pretty consistently. This should be an excellent proxy for how reliable their cars are.
How can you say a car is reliable if it’s brand new. Reliability would be measured over the lifespan of a car
which is why these tests are basically useless.
go sample cars that are 20 years old. take a tally of how many miles are on cars that are sold to salvage yards. what % of cars X age are still registered, etc.
What’s interesting is hybrids are the most reliable even though they are the most complex. The reason is because Toyota hybrids bring all the rankings up.
Why is Audi always higher than VW? Feel like it’s more about brand image than fact. Audi and VW share parts and drivetrain on over half their lineup. (Q3, Q5, A3, A4, A5, Jetta GLI, GTI/R, Tiguan, Atlas, Arteon all share the same engine and several parts). It’s the larger drivetrains on the Audis that have more issues like the new 3.0T destroying engines because of knock and sky high repair prices. I guess the new Jetta/Taos 1.5L has some fueling issues but nothing widespread.
They’re built better and their owners probably take care of their cars better?
AudiCare essentially pays for all maintenance for the first 4 years
Where is suzuki?
Statistics show that suzuki is cheaper over a 10 year period than Toyota Wich means that they should be at about the same level when it comes to reliability.
Suzuki hasn’t sold cars in the US for 10 years…
Besides that, I don’t follow your logic that a car that’s cheaper to run in a 10-year period means it must also be the most reliable.
No way Subaru is above Mazda…
Looks pretty correct based on my anecdotal experience.
The fuck is this!! Why do I always fall for the shitty ones 😩
Subarus ain’t bad. As long as the CVT works 🤣
Cries in FB25 oil consumption
Nah, those engines love oil like I love chicken fried rice 😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Short term reliability doesn’t account for much.
Just in my own experiences Nissan and Mazda have been the most unreliable…porsche has been most reliable… ive owned a RAM, Porsche, BMW, Audi, Nissan, mazda, Jeep, infiniti and Acura.
It’s 2023. Quality control personnel work from home. Nobody makes a reliable product top to bottom, left to right.
Where’s your evidence that most quality control employees in the auto industry work from home?
If they don’t they might as well be. Build quality is garbage anymore from anybody.
