I'll read this later, but for now I can say Consumer Reports is garbage when it comes to auto reviews. There ratings are always different from all the other car reviews? Why? They will always list the top 10 in every category as Japanese. Always. They hate American cars are are extremely biased. This is known in the industry. Don't take my word for it. They are shills for the Japanese. Not even Mercedes can crack their top 10. Their methodology is insane.

NEVER take CR seriously when buying a car!


Motor Trend, C&D, R&T, Edmond's, and many others are good for autos.

CR is another left-wing rag. Has been for as long as I can remember.

Trouble is, very few car review sources take reliability into account other than Consumer Reports.

CR has recommended buy ratings for Mercedes M- SUV and C-, E-, and S- sedans, as well as Ford Fusion, Chevy Malibu, and other “American” models.

CR does not differ radically from other publications in their ratings if reliability history is taken into account. Truth is, GM and Chrysler do indeed make a higher percentage of mediocre and poor vehicles than other manufacturers; that’s why the government bailed them out.

Who but CR could rate a car’s overall reliability as “average” when all but a few areas are above or much above average, and those few problem areas are minor ones (such as audio system)?

Who but CR could rate a car’s overall reliability as “much above average” when there are serious mechanical problem areas (such as fuel system)?

I’ve seen both.

“Not even Mercedes can crack their top 10.”

And they usually rate BMW highly.

My personal experience tracked CR exactly for Mercedes, with an extremely unreliable ML20.
