Cars in the last decade have changed drastically — and this will likely continue as the start of this decade gets underway. While greater fuel efficiency and advances in technology have revolutionized what many cars are capable of, they're sometimes not as reliable as some of their older counterparts. While a consumer is likely to consider the latest vehicle when they're looking at available options, Consumer Reports suggests considering a model that's several years into its redesign life. Their proprietary analysis found that vehicles tend to be most reliable by the final year of any particular model run (typically five to seven years), after many of the bugs have been worked out, and least reliable in the first year of a redesign. In general, they found it can take automakers two to three years — or even longer — to address problems in newly redesigned models. "It's tempting to want to be the first on your block to have the newest car, but that comes with reliability risks," Jake Fisher, senior director of auto testing at Consumer Reports, said in a statement. "Being patient can save you from years of frustration." However, Consumer Reports does have a number of recommendations for those looking for a reliable car. With this in mind, explore our slideshow above to see Consumer Reports's predictions of the 10 most reliable car models of 2020. Related: |
