What is unique about CRs survey?
Consumer Reports’ auto reliability information is unique in several respects: • We bring this data to the information marketplace with no fear or favor. Because we have no clients beyond our readers, we can report all the data, not just the autos with top results. We needn’t worry about losing advertising in our magazine, so we can interpret the data with total independence. • Our subscribers tend to be well-educated and appreciative of objective, independent research, which makes them unusually qualified to provide valuable data about their experiences. • The sheer size of the reliability survey conducted by the Consumer Reports National Research Center enables us to look at owners’ experiences with hundreds of thousands of cars. Unlike other reliability surveys, we are able to look at car models in several variants, in some cases reporting them separately by type of engine, drive types, trim lines or other classifications.
