Friends: 0 | Re: Consumer Reports: Prius most reliable car... again. I believe that the Insight was found to be the most reliable car overall. They had different categories of cars and the Prius was judged the most reliable "family car." |

Friends: 4 | Re: Consumer Reports: Prius most reliable car... again. How in the world can you measure reliability in cars so new to the market like the new Insight and the new Prius? This is a crock of baloney. You have to wait at least for 2-3 years to collect the real reliability data before coming to any conclusions. |

Friends: 10 | Re: Consumer Reports: Prius most reliable car... again. CR does seem to be on a downward slide lately. for years, i was a subscriber and took their word as "the source" but times have changed...dramatically. technology has advanced and CR, like many many companies has failed to take advantage. they assume that the old "tried and true" formula still works... **edit** LOL... so the fusion, milan, (ice and hybrid) well, at least they were all grouped "near" each other in the rankings...

I took their ratings to be initial quality ratings which says nothing for the real (time proven) quality of the products. | |
