Consumer report: most and least reliable cars

[Sovereign]

Our beloved brands aren't doing that well in reliability according to this latest survey.

European cars

"BMW had a bad year, with five of 11 models now scoring below average. Although the BMW M3 topped the sporty cars category, the 1, 3, and 5 Series models with the 3.0-liter, turbocharged engine had high problem rates related to the fuel system, among other issues.


Mercedes-Benz had the least reliable vehicles in three categories. Six of its 13 models were below average, and the GLK SUV was far below average this year. The redesigned E350 sedan was above average, but the new E-Class coupe, a wholly different car, was a disappointment.


Almost three-quarters of the Audi models we analyzed were below average. Volkswagen did better, with its Golf (formerly Rabbit) doing very well and the various Jetta models doing average or better."

Uh Oh...Mercedes-Benz needs to work on that. I have to read and see what the issues were. Though this car would have been flawless.

LLS...Don't do it Gullwing! Don't do it! Lol

Considering Mercedes-Benz had no models recommended by CR just a few years ago I don't think this is all bad like they're trying to make it seem. Lexus may be tops, after it is recalled and all the pending failures are caught before hand.
