Lexus Is Still Best Overall.


Recommended Posts

Yeah, but those "long term" JD Power owner surveys are about just 3 year old vehicles - not hardly "long term"! Consumer Reports magazine owner surveys, on the other hand, provide reliability information on 6-8 year old cars. Toyota and the other Asian makes really pull ahead of the American cars in reliability after 6-8 years. In other words, although a Buick may match a Toyota in reliability during the first 3 years of ownership, by 6-8 years the Buick is troublesome just like all other American cars whereas alot of Asian makes like Toyota are doing great.

On the other hand, does the average person really keep a car for 8 years? Now a days - not likely.

New every 4 for us. 2002 4Runner gone soon, and the 2001 Sequoia gone even sooner.
