Sportscars, Hybrids Dominate List Of Most Satisfying Cars To Own


Would you buy the same car again that you’re driving now? That’s the single defining question behind the annual Consumer Reports list of Most Satisfying and Least Satisfying cars.

Consumer Reports is an American non-profit consumer organization dedicated to independent product testing, consumer-oriented research, and consumer advocacy.

In order to come up with the ranking, Consumer Reports asked its members a series of questions and used analysis to measure the current state of vehicle ownership satisfaction after a two-to-three year ownership period. Couple that with their very own test and reliability ratings, they’ve come up with this list.

The percentages indicated here measure the current state of vehicle owner satisfaction.

  2. Porsche 911 (90 percent)

    What does the most liked car brands entail? Does it mean its reliable?

      The ranking does not necessarily refer to reliability or lack of problems. It only means that those who bought these cars have had no regrets overall after two or three years so far.
