Which cars are the most reliable on the road?
The Scion xB was found to be the most reliable car on the road by Consumer Reports.
The most reliable car on the road is the Scion xB, according to Consumer Reports the compact car produced by Toyota, ahead of their annual survey on the reliability of the car that tests experiments owners with vehicles over 1 million and is the largest study of its kind.
In terms of the Toyota was second high, with the luxury brand Lexus car manufacturer comes first.
Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Toyota Highlander V6 Lexus RX.
Jeep Cherokee 4-cylinder Nissan Pathfinder Jeep Grand Cherokee diesel.
Lexus, Toyota, Mazda, Honda, Audi, Buick, Subaru, Scion, Porsche, Kia.
You can view the complete list of the reliability of the car manufacturer in this infographic.
Lexus also won in the last study of the vehicle by J Dependability D see details below power.
As shown in the Consumer Reports list, the best way to go if you are looking for a reliable car is to shop around for an Asian company The only brand outside Asia to make the top ten were Audi and Porsche, both manufactured in Germany, and Buick the top US manufacturer.
Consumer Reports said why they believe that companies like Lexus and Toyota are more reliable because when they introduce new technology, they do so slowly and on proven platforms, while companies like Ford sometimes completely revamp a car the bottom up and fill with large amounts of new technologies.
The most problematic areas of the car in terms of reliability were infotainment systems, but Consumer Reports said that reliability is improved.
The investigation of the company is the largest of its kind, and uses the data of the three model years past unless a vehicle has been drastically changed in time to predict what will be the most reliable cars on the to come up.
But as buyers are usually looking for a particular type of car, the report also broke down the most reliable cars in each category.
Mitsubishi Outlander Sport Subaru Forester Subaru XV Crosstrek.
Audi Q5 Audi A5 V6 diesel Mercedes-Benz GLK diesel.
Toyota Highlander V6 Toyota 4Runner Chevrolet Equinox.
Toyota Tacoma V6, Toyota Tacoma 2WD 4-cylinder Toyota Tacoma V6, 4WD.

The annual study by JD Power Vehicle Dependability is the second survey that attempts to give consumers an idea of the most reliable cars on the market.
It uses a different system to record cars, and therefore has different results, although some general trends are evident, for example, as mentioned above, Lexus topped their study and in all ten being Lexus, Buick, Toyota, Cadillac, Honda, Porsche, Lincoln, Mercedes-Benz, Scion and Chevrolet.
It was the fourth consecutive year that Lexus has exceeded the JD Power study.
It examines the drivers had problems in the last 12 months with cars that are three years So rather than trying to predict what will happen with the models purchased today, it explores how cars bought three years have bLOCKED the survey covers there are 177 different problems experienced by drivers and they then evaluate cars by the number of problems per 100 vehicles.
A significant finding of the study was that Scion had skyrocketed their ranking 13 places from the previous year This huge improvement if reported in the past three years, may coincide with how their xB has managed to top the Consumer Reports survey.
Here are two graphics that show the most reliable cars in each segment the following JD Power study.
Although both surveys can vary, it is obvious that cars made by Toyota, including Toyota, Lexus and Scion, have a generally impressive record of reliability, so are a good place to start if you're looking for a reliable car in terms of American- cars, Buick tops.
Scion XB and XD models appear to be particularly reliable, but it all boils down to what particular type of car you are looking to buy but as a general guide, one of the cars that appear at the top of the category listings in one of both surveys will likely be above average reliability.
The investigations serve as a useful guide, but it is obviously also worth doing some additional research on each model you are interested in reading some reviews on car sites on the web.
