Subaru top Consumer Reports ranking

[BSOD2600]

With an overall score of 77 out of 100 points, Honda and Subaru were followed by Toyota (74) (Recommendations for eight recalled Toyota models were temporarily suspended), Hyundai (73) and Nissan and Volkswagen tied at (72) in overall score.

Last year, CR recommended every Subaru model.

Cool?

I don't trust Consumer Reports, the opinion of the general public about cars is completely meaningless to me, as is the opinion of the magazine.

All it means is that they're the most boring and, at best, can make a car that doesn't blow up in the first few months of ownership. Pretty much the only thing I'd bother looking it is if the company is near last place. Tied with Honda. Yippee. Like the 2009 Civic my sister has weird problems, like power steering randomly quitting, and that she already wants to dump? I have more faith in a 15 year old car than a new one from anybody. And I'm sure there's no correlation between reliability and the steady rise in weight. Can cars get a the mechanical equivalents of hypertension and diabetes?
