Toyota, Honda, Subaru, and Nissan's Infiniti Overwhelm CR's 2006 Most Reliable List
By James B. Bleeker
The following table provides a breakdown by manufacturer, line, and group of the 2006 models receiving Consumer Reports' highest predicted short-term reliability.
Corrected Breakdown of 2006 Models Receiving Consumer Reports' Highest Predicted Short-Term Reliability Manufacturer/Group Number of 2006 Models with Highest Predicted Short-Term Reliability Fraction of All 2006 Models Receiving Highest Reliability Designation Line Toyota Motor Corporation 15 .48 Lexus 5 .16 Toyota 10 .32 Honda 8 .26 Acura 0 0.00 Honda 8 .26 Reliable Two (Toyota and Honda) 23 .74 Subaru division of Fuji Heavy Industries Ltd. 2 .065 Nissan Motor Company 2 .065 Infiniti 2 .065 Nissan 0 0.00 Top Four (Toyota, Honda, Subaru, and Nissan) 27 .87 Mazda Motor Corporation 1 .0325 Mitsubishi Motors Corporation 1 .0325 Ford Motor Company 1 .0325 General Motors Corporation 1 .0325 Correction: This table was corrected November 5, 2005. The earlier table omitted the Toyota Tundra pickup and the Honda Ridgeline pickup in the manufacturer, line, and group counts. With regard to longer term reliability, David Champion, senior director of the Consumer Reports' auto test center, noted that Big Three products continue to falter with age.
In short-term reliability, some North-American-made products by Toyota and Nissan failed to match their Japanese-made brethren. The North-American-made Toyota Avalon received an "average" reliability rating - a rating that many Big Three vehicles may aspire to, but rather a disaster for a Toyota product - and the North-American-made Nissan Quest minivan, Nissan Armada SUV, Nissan Titan pickup truck, and Infiniti QX56 SUV - all made at Nissan's new Mississippi plant - are rated "least reliable." As CR's predicted short-term reliability is based on recent past reliability, the poor showing by Nissan's four trucks (minivans, SUVs, and pickups are all classified as light trucks in the U.S.) likely fail to reflect Nissan's more recent efforts to improve quality at its new North American facility. Next fall's release of CR's predicted short-term reliability ratings should tell us whether Nissan's efforts at improving the reliability of its North American products bore fruit.
