This
page has been updated to include the data that became available in 2007.
The Reliability Index Values are based on reported auto problems in 6-to-8-year-old vehicles. To view the methodology for the computation of the
Reliability Index Values, go to the
Methodology
Page.
The Reliability Index Values are based on reported problems in
6-to-8-year-old vehicles. To see an extrapolation of the current thirteen-year
Reliability Index gap between Toyota and the Big Three, go to the
Bottom Line on Reliability web page of the Auto on Info website. This web
page will give you an idea as to what you can expect of a new 2008 or 2009
Big-Three-engineered model relative to a 2008 or 2009 Toyota or Honda model.

Mazda's one entry,
the Mazda3 i, may have been pulled from Consumer Reports'
Overall Quick Pick List due to a
"Poor"
side-impact crash test rating by the Insurance Institute for
Highway Safety. The Insurance Institute's rating did cause
Consumer Reports to pull the Mazda3 from its recommended
list. |
|
All shares are rounded to two
significant digits. |

CR 2005 Quick Picks are quick pick

If the vehicle model is too new for a 1998-2002 Reliability Percentrank average to exist, the early 2003 Reliability Percentrank
is used when such exists. |
|
All shares are rounded to two
significant digits. |
|
CR Good Bets are models that have
several
model years between 1997 and 2006 of better-than-average reliability
and have performed well on Consumer Reports' road tests. An auto
Reliability Percentrank is
a measure of relative overall reliability used by Auto on Info. |
|
Note: Two rebadges of products
engineered by Toyota, but sold by another auto manufacturer, are
omitted from the latter's share. |
