What Are the Most Reliable Cars on the Road Today?

The latest automotive reliability survey from Consumer Reports came out this week, and Toyota leads the way. Ford, which had been rising in the ranks recently, fell back this year: it now ranks second-to-last among all auto manufacturers.

"We listen closely and value feedback on our vehicles -- whether it's from customers or third parties, such as Consumer Reports," said representatives of Ford Motor Company. Adding that the latest results did not include Ford’s most popular, redesigned models: the Fusion sedan and Escape SUV.

However, while the people at Ford make excuses and hang their heads in shame, Toyota is doing a victory dance, as the Japanese automaker claimed four of the top slots on this year’s dependability list.

According to Consumer Reports, the Toyota Prius C is the most dependable car on the road today. Still, testers at Consumer Reports do not recommend it because they do not feel it is a very good automobile. Thumbs up, though, for General Motors, which has increased its overall level of dependability, especially in the luxury division.
