billydpowell Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 2009 Annual Auto Reliability Survey The best Toyota Motor Company model in our reliability survey is the Lexus SC—its predicted reliability score is the second highest out of over 300 vehicles, but the worst is the Lexus GS (AWD), which scores in the bottom 10 percent, and receives a much worse than average rating, and is not recommended in our testing. While it is true that Lexus models tend to be reliable and test well, this is not the case for all Lexus vehicles. The greatest disparity comes from Volkswagen. The VW Golf (aka Rabbit) is one of the most reliable small cars you can buy, but the Volkswagen Touareg has the lowest predicted reliability score in our 2009 Annual Auto Survey. BMW Best: BMW 328i (RWD) Worst: BMW 535i (AWD)* Chrysler Best: Jeep Patriot Worst: Chrysler Town & Country/Dodge Grand Caravan Ford Best: Ford Fusion/Mercury Milan (4-cyl.) Worst: Ford F-250 (turbodiesel, 4WD)* General Motors Best: Chevrolet Malibu (V6) Worst: Chevrolet Colorado/GMC Canyon (4WD) Honda Best: Honda Insight* Worst: Acura RL Hyundai/Kia Best: Hyundai Tucson Worst: Kia Sedona Mazda Best: Mazda3 sedan Worst: Mazda CX-7 Mercedes-Benz Best: Mercedes-Benz GLK* Worst: Mercedes-Benz GL-Class (turbodiesel)* Nissan Best: Infiniti M35 (RWD) Worst: Nissan Versa sedan* Subaru Best: Subaru Impreza Outback Sport Worst: Subaru Impreza WRX* Toyota Best: Lexus SC* Worst: Lexus GS (AWD) Volkswagen Best: Volkswagen Golf (Rabbit) Worst: Volkswagen Touareg* Volvo Best: Volvo S40 (FWD)* Worst: Volvo XC90 (V8)* hope yours is not here....
