The Japanese brand Lexus topped the car reliability rating according to the American magazine Consumer Reports, displacing last year’s Toyota leader to second place. The most reliable model is named Lexus GS. This is reported on the website of the publication.

The third most reliable car brand is Mazda, which climbed nine positions due to the positive feedback from owners on the large CX-9 crossover, as well as the MX-5 roadster, which is recognized as the best model of the brand. In fourth place was another Japanese brand – Subaru. The South Korean company Kia closes the top five, having lost two positions in the list over the past year.

The best European brand was the company Audi, which is located on the seventh place in the list of the most reliable cars, giving Infiniti sixth place. The top ten also included the German company BMW (8th place), the British Mini (9th place) and the South Korean Hyundai, which did not lose their positions for the year.

The rating was based on a survey of 500 thousand car owners for 2017. As part of the study, readers of the publication reported on the problems they had to face in the last 12 months of operating their cars.
