Nissan 22nd of 28 and more
 
Consumer Reports reliability ratings (most reliable for me) have Nissan dropping to 22nd of 28 automakers. Both Scion, Toyota and Subaru dropped a bit primarily because the FRS and its Subaru Twin are found to be "much worse than average".

I wonder how the 370Z rates..

CR should stay in the kitchen and evaluate microwaves and crockpots.

Audi is 4th most reliable. That makes me disregard anything they have to say. :rofl2:

I'll use CR to tell me which dishwasher or refrigerator is the best, not cars.

It's scary how much we think alike. :rofl2:

Diss it but they are reporting the reports of a million plus people survey, not their opinion.

Chuck33079 10-29-2013 09:58 AM

Do you have the actual report, or are you going off of the NY Times description? I'd like to see the whole thing.

kenchan 10-29-2013 10:14 AM

well, they didn't get any feedback from me cause i never do those jd powers surveys or any survey like that. and my dealer has not seen my car since they sold her to me 4yrs ago. and there are many people like me, i think.


only survey i do is help the sales guy if he did a good job by answering a few questions from corporate.

kenchan 10-29-2013 11:36 AM

im a bit surprised CR didn't boast about korean made cars. usually they have poor folks supporting them trying to showcase how much MORE you can get for LESS. you know, the walmart business model.

not even in the top10.

When's Walmart releasing there version of the econo-box????

Lying with facts:
Ferarri had fewer complaints than Toyota last year.

It is hard to believe that the Japs are building unreliable cars. With more cars sold you have more votes coming in about their cars. People who are unhappy always vote where as happy folks are not mad and don't vote in the same numbers as they are out having a good time.

I'd love an under-the-hood look at how they compile and interpret their data.

Bmw?
 
BMW's are not known for their reliability after 60K/10Yrs. Everything will start need replacing!!!

Do they account for the severity of the problemn that leads to a dealer visit? "Lubed squeaking bushing" is a far cry from "replaced longblock".

yah, plus most people that dont know much about cars tend to complain about everything. you know, the typical budget car leaser complaining about a little rattle or something. :shakes head:

or tpms light turns on, blames it on the car manufacturer or even the dealer...
