Car Brand Reliability Rankings 2011 - consumer Reports' Top 10
Scion
Porsche
Acura
Honda
Infiniti
Toyota
Subaru
Volvo
Lexus
Ford.
Toyota Motor Corporation's three car lines - Scion, Toyota, and Lexus - and Honda Motor Company's Acura and Honda have consistently located within top 10 lists for short-term, mid-term, and longer term reliability. Nissan's Infiniti line is often among this very elect group as well.
CAR+jump+batteryWith regard to best cars, the Scion xD, a small hatchback, is the Scion line's top ranked model, the Toyota Yaris, a small sedan or hatchback, is the Toyota brand's top ranked model, and the Lexus Lx, a large luxury Suv, is Lexus' best. The Scion xD has a 2010 Auto Reliability Grade Point mean for the first 4 years of a perfect 4.00, as does the Yaris hatchback. The first 4-year 2010 Auto Reliability Gpa of the Lexus Lx is 3.67.
Acura's best is the Acura Rl, a sedan, and Honda's best is the Honda Cr-V, a small Suv. Infiniti's best is the all-wheel-drive Infiniti G sedan. The first 4-year Auto Reliability Gpa of the Cr-V is 3.75; the Rl and G sedan have more modest Gpas.
Porsche's ranking by Cr's improbable short-term reliability took a jump, from 9th place for the 2010 model year to 2nd place for the 2011 model year. However, its top rated model for 2011 was its lowest rated model for 2010, suggesting that the data for this car marque may be too thin to give garage results.
Volvo's ranking also took a mountainous leap - from 18th place to 8th place - as did Ford's - from 16th place to 10th place. Both indicate that Ford Motor enterprise has been quite earnest about improving quality.
Outside the top 10, both the Hyundai line, 11th place, and the Kia line, 13th place, outranked all of the lines of general Motors Corporation and Chrysler Llc, as they did last year as well. By Cr's Rank convert from Last Year, Gm's Chevrolet line rose 3 as its Buick line fell 3.
Consumer Reports' improbable reliability for a car brand is based on the reliability doing of the brand's models within the 3 most recent model years. A model's reliability is a part of the model's infrequency of reported serious problems.
Cr's reliability rankings are intimately followed by many as they are based on an infrequency of serious problems, rather than complaints that may be on rather trivial matters.
