When you’re considering making a vehicle you’re probably like the vast majority of us (some 80%) who begin their considerations with some research. Traditionally turning to print was the way to go for information on which vehicles and brands shine in the automotive market. Now you can turn to the internet and find information across a number of different places, including dealer sites like ours, research sites like Edmunds.com or KKB.com, and the list can go on and on. One great source of information comes from Consumer Reports in their annual auto issue. In it you’ll find information on new and used models, reliability ratings, vehicle recommendations, and much more including its brand report card which answers the questions, “Who Makes the Best Cars?”
