The Consumer Speaks -- Who Makes the Most Reliable Vehicles?  Francais

Every pricing page on vmrintl.com has a link that gives users the opportunity to sound off about their car.  This survey has been filled out by thousands of consumers, allowing us to present you with data supported by a large sample of ownership experiences.  These are actual results, and there are some surprises!

This is our second compilation of data, and there was some minor shuffling of positions.

Rankings are based on receiving an "excellent" or "very good" overall rating with no problem areas. Keep in mind that this is a high standard--basically a car that rarely needs anything other than scheduled service. Data covers all models and model years back to 2000.  For older models, click here.
