Their reliability ratings are (or were, last time I looked) based on
surveys of owners/subscribers during the first year of ownership. Not
very applicable to those of us who buy 15 year old, or older cars --
I've never been entirely sure what to make of CU's reliability ratings.
They're so
Also note:
Least Reliable:
SPORTY CARS/
CONVERTIBLES/COUPES: Volkswagen New Beetle Convertible, Mercedes-Benz
SL, Mercedes-Benz CLK, Ford Mustang (V6)*, Chevrolet Corvett
WAGONS: Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Volkswagen Passat (V6) (2005), Volvo V50*
Yet none of the M-B SUVs make the best or worst
