The questionnaire asks about any issues people have had with their vehicles during the previous year. The Annual Questionnaire is sent out in the spring of each year (so the 2018 one is already nearly underway). The reliability information used for the guide comes directly from Consumer Reports consumers. The advantage of this massive number of cars is that it means there are usually hundreds of samples of each car, with the magazine estimating there are usually “about 200 to 400 samples for each model year.” This survey is released once a year but is actually the result of about 6 months of data collection and analysis. This annual poll is based on information of nearly two-thirds of a million cars – 640,000 of them. When Consumer Reports says a certain model is reliable or unreliable, what is it using as its information for these scores? When something is reported in the newspaper, on a commentary TV show, or on the Internet, it is often a statement that is cited in the absence of a strong foundation (which may exist but is given little coverage). We often hear “factoids” on the news stated out of context. Nearly two-thirds of a million cars assessed This article summarizes the findings of the survey, providing the methods used for study a general overview and highlights and the cars that landed in the top 10 and bottom 10. The most recent version of the CR guide was released on October 19, 2017. Since reliability is such a paramount concern of car owners, it is a factor that will have a huge influence on long-term general satisfaction plus, it helps boost the resale value of a car. Plus, you do not want your car to keep returning to the shop even if your mechanic is honest and experienced you need it to commute, run errands, and get to social events. Everyone who owns a motor vehicle should care about its reliability so that they are better protected from getting stuck out somewhere on the side of the road. The other is the issue of reliability as a key factor in an automobile. This study is critical for a couple of reasons: one is the Consumer Reports model (taking no advertising funds to maintain total objectivity). Both for car owners and carmakers, probably one of the most important pieces of media that comes out each year is the Consumer Reports Guide to Car Reliability.
