Which companies make the best cars?
Global fight with intriguing results
Last year was a tough time to sell American cars. Ford lost $6.1 billion in
North America in 2006. Chrysler built thousands of vehicles that even some
of its own dealers didnt want. And the percentage of car buyers who bought
American nameplates continued to fall, to 54 percent from 66 percent in
2000.
At the same time, sales of cars from Japan and Korea rose sharply. With both
Ford and General Motors slumping, 2007 could be the year that foreign
carmakers sell more cars in the U.S. than Detroit does.
To shed light on why some automakers are thriving while others are spinning
their wheels, Consumer Reports dug deep into its own data to show the highs
and lows for major carmakers. We analyzed how vehicles performed in a
battery of CRs road tests, coupled with reliability histories based on more
than 1.3 million vehicles, representing 250 models. We huddled with CRs
team of expert auto engineers and interviewed business analysts who follow
the industry closely.
Heres what we found:
No carmaker does everything right. Volkswagen builds vehicles that perform
very well in our testing but vary in reliability. Despite very good
reliability, not all Toyota models score well.
Just because a car is Japanese doesnt mean its a great car. Honda,Toyota,
and Subaru make consistently reliable cars, but other Japanese automakers
have mixed results.
U.S. automakers build some good models. But many vehicles are mediocre, and
even the best seldom rise to the top of their categories against stiff
competition.
Some automakers vehicles consistently do well in important areas such as
handling, braking, or fuel economy, which weigh heavily in our Ratings.
We think consumers should focus on buying the best car for their needs, no
matter who builds it or where it is built. The automakers that typically do
best in our Ratings tend to build well-rounded vehicles that appeal to a
broad audience. Buyers want impeccable quality, reliability, basic space
for what they have to do, package size, good performance, and good fuel
economy, says David Cole, chairman of the Center for Automotive Research, a
consulting group in Ann Arbor, Mich.
TEST RESULTS VS. RELIABILITY
If the only things that mattered to a car buyer were performance, comfort,
and safety, Volkswagen would be at the top of the heap. Its Volkswagen and
Audi models do well in handling, braking, and standard safety features. But
few VWs have decent reliability.
Mercedes-Benz is an even more striking example. Its cars have the
fourth-highest average test score at 77. They handle well, are nicely
finished, and ride comfortably. But none has good-enough reliability to be
recommended. By contrast, Toyotas have been very reliable, but some models
such as the FJ Cruiser SUV and Yaris subcompact were disappointing in our
tests.
Cars from Detroit automakers range across the lot in reliability. Ford has a
number of good cars that did well in our survey, but about a quarter of the
Ford products we have tested had below average reliability. GM also builds
some vehicles that did well in reliability, but about one-third of the
tested GM vehicles were rated below average.
While our surveys show that reliability of new American cars and trucks has
been getting closer to the levels of Japanese vehicles, Cole says there is a
limit to easy improvements.
Overall we recommend a much smaller percentage of U.S. cars than Japanese
makes (37 percent vs. 80 percent), mainly because their reliability is
hit-or-miss, not consistent like that of vehicles from some Japanese
companies. We do not recommend models with below-average reliability.
American vehicles tend to be more reliable than those from Europe. The
consistently high reliability of some Japanese companies, such as Honda,
Subaru, and Toyota, allows us to recommend their new models.
THE JAPANESE MYTH
Honda and Toyota are lauded for their reliability and have built a number of
high-rated models, including 7 of our 10 Top Picks. But we found that not
all Japanese cars excel.
Honda and Toyota are really on a pedestal, says James Rubenstein, an
automotive analyst at Miami University, in Oxford, Ohio. But other Japanese
makers, such as Nissan, Mazda, and Mitsubishi, have struggled to build
high-quality cars consistently.
Nissans lineup, on average, actually scores above Toyotas in CRs tests,
75 vs. 70. Nissan also produces several of the most reliable cars in our
survey, including Infiniti sedans. But three Nissans--the Armada,Titan, and
Infiniti QX56--were among models with the most reliability problems in our
survey; all are made in the same plant in Canton, Miss. Ford vehicles, in
comparison, have slightly better reliability in our survey than cars from
Nissan.
Mazda vehicles test well, but reliability has been hit-or-miss. For example,
it took several years for all versions of the Mazda6 to come up to average
reliability. The average Mitsubishi scores only a 60 in CRs testing and has
average reliability. Mitsubishis Eclipse sports coupe scored too low in our
road tests for us to recommend it. Though every manufacturer has recalls,
even Toyota has taken some heat over its 10 recalls of 657,000 vehicles in
the past year, although that is not a factor in our reliability Ratings.

A ver, que parte no se entendió que lo mió es solo una opinión sobre un
vehiculo del cual estaban hablando y yo por estar en el negocio y haber oído
experiencias de clientes, haber tenido esa marca, creí poder ayudar un poco
para resolver dudas .
Es como hace poco se opino sobre baterías y reeles y cada quien dio su
opinión y no pasó nada.
Pero viendo lo que se esta escribiendo sobre este tema me doy cuenta que hay
gente de piel muy delgadita que no acepta opiniones de otras personas y no
se cual es la razón de enojo de algunos.
Quizás me exprese mal y ofrezco una disculpa si no me supe hacer entender.
Reitero fue solo una opinión y un comentario el cual lo digo con fundamentos
sustentables, quien tenga una Jeep Liberty u otro vehiculo de este estilo y
lo quiera comprobar con toda confianza aquí tengo camionetas de prueba y lo
hacemos cuando este lloviendo de preferencia para que vean de que hablo.
Que los Honda también arrastran remolques, entran a terrazeria y lodazales
que por experiencia propia y gente que le gusta la pesca me lo ha comentado
y no ha batallado, también lo hacen, pero el objetivo es ser seguros
estables y de calidad.
Ahora que son susceptibles a fallas, claro, es como cualquier maquina
depende del cuidado y el trato que le des.
Por cierto quiero agradecer a los que me escribieron a mi mail, les estaré
enviando la información los más rápido posibles.
Gracias y cualquier duda aquí están mis datos.
