Consumer Reports came out with its 2007 annual car review. This review includes their annual reliability and satisfaction survey on all vehicles and hybrids lead in several categories.
According to Consumer Reports, the Toyota Highlander Hybrid is one of the most reliable midsize SUVS, along with the Lexus RX400h (hybrid). The Honda Civic Hybrid (small cars), Honda Accord Hybrid (Family car) and Toyota Prius also ranked at or near the top in their respective categories for reliability.
Consumer Reports gets responses from 1.3 million vehicle owners.
In its ranking of customer satisfaction, based on more than 400,000 responses, 26 of the 45 top-rated vehicles were Japanese.
Toyota's Prius hybrid was the most satisfying vehicle for the third year, with 92 percent of owners saying they would buy or lease one again. In last years survey, 95 percent of owners said they would buy or lease a Prius again.
Ford and GM rank better this year, closing the gap once again in reliability, although their reputation is still lagging. But of the 47 top-ranked vehicles for reliability, only six were domestic brands.
