Notice there’s like 2 German cars in the Best of the Best list, the Best list is mostly Japanese cars. Brings back my point in the “K20 vs. VW” thread… Japanese reliability \> German reliability ---

Yesterday I believe it was they had the cheapest new cars to own. Fit was #2, Civic DX was #10? Nissan Versa(dont quote me) was #1 I believe. I know a Nissan was #1… they were all over that list. ---

Consumer reports hits the nail on the head again. I switched my family members over to good cars a while back, so that I do maintainence instead of repairs. ---

According to Consumer reports, Ford is the most reliable American brand by a fairly solid margin. Performance, not so much . . . but reliability? Yes. Engines, particularly, are usually heavy, underpunched and underpushed. Look at the old Y-blocks. Although, to be fair, I drive a Ford. In Ford’s defense - the 427 Cammer was the most powerful “muscle” engine of the 60s, at over 600 HP. While nowhere near as light as a ZL1 Can-Am engine, it was monstrously powerful. ---

i dont agree 100% with that list. How can they compare cars when they barely know where there talking about “Jetta Sedan”… News flash, last time a jetta came in 2dr was 92 and this was a chart from 98-07. And the nissan titan is badass, i know couple guys at work who love theres. K20: Honda/Acura may always be on top for most reliable cars in these charts, however it doesnt mean that honda/acura is better than volkswagen and it doesnt mean vw is better than honda. Im not trying to start a war, just hate when people hate on other makes of cars. Maybe its just me… ---

Do you think the average adult knows that information? It’s a sedan, is it not? You’re trying to pick apart a report because it labels the “jetta” as a sedan? It’s not as if they said, “the sedan opposed to the coupe.” They just said it was the Jetta Sedan… wow. :headbang ---
