| Toyota FJ Cruiser among top models in Consumer Reports reliability survey |
In another not surprising but still
newsworthy report about reliable cars, Toyota brands took the top three spots
in the Consumer Reports latest reliability survey, with Scion at number one,
Toyota in second place, and Lexus in third.
The 2012 Annual Auto Survey conducted by
Consumer Reports was based 800,000 responses from their subscribers about 1.2
million vehicles over the last year. Consumer Reports uses that feedback to
predict the future performance of new cars by each brand currently on the market.
This is a repeat for the Scion brand,
which also took the top spot in last year’s survey. However, Toyota moved up
four places this year, taking the number two spot held by Lexus last year and
bumping that brand to number three.
Toyota had 27 different models in the survey and of those, 16 earned the highest reliability ranking in their
respective classes. Top finishers included the Toyota Camry hybrid, Venza, FJ
Cruiser, Sequoia, Sienna, Tacoma, and Tundra, as well as the Scion xD and Lexus
RX. The Toyota Prius C hybrid took the top spot overall.
"We're
pleased with the findings, which reflect actual customer experience, not just
reviewer opinion. The results also show how challenging it is to meet
ever-higher customer expectations of new technology and in-car connectivity,"
said Jim Lentz, chief executive of Toyota Motor Sales USA
Inc.
