The most and least reliable cars in 2018, according to Consumer Reports
Looking to maximize (or, if you're weird, minimize) your dollar? These cars are your best (or worst) bets, according to CR.
Most reliable: Lexus GX
CR called out Lexus' second-largest SUV for its quietness and off-road capability.
Most reliable: Lexus NX
CR praised the NX's nimble character and the hybrid's excellent fuel economy.
Most reliable: Honda Fit
The Fit is an absolute riot to drive, and its magical second row makes storing big things inside this small hatch surprisingly easy.
Most reliable: Kia Sedona
Kia refreshed the Sedona for 2019, taking a good minivan and making it even better.
Most reliable: Mazda MX-5 Miata
The MX-5 also got an update in 2019, adding power and features for every trim.
Most reliable: Toyota Corolla
It wouldn't be a list of vehicle reliability without the ubiquitous Toyota Corolla.
Most reliable: Toyota Highlander
Toyota's reliability isn't relegated to its sedans and hatchbacks.
Most reliable: Toyota Prius
Toyota's long-time hybrid is still a good one, with some excellent fuel economy and those head-turning looks.
Most reliable: Toyota Prius C
The Prius C didn't get hit with the ugly stick like its bigger brother did, still rocking a variant of the last-generation Prius' design language.
Most reliable: Toyota Prius Prime
The Prius Prime boasts a massive vertical touchscreen and the electric-only range expected of a plug-in hybrid.
Least reliable: Buick Enclave
Consumer Reports says to watch out for the transmission and climate system on this one.
Least reliable: Cadillac ATS
CR says Cadillac's smallest coupe (or sedan) has issues in its transmission and fuel-system departments.
Least reliable: Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD
CR found problems with the 2500HD's engine, in addition to its telematics.
Least reliable: Chevrolet Traverse
Here, CR says to watch out for the transmission and the in-car electronics.
Least reliable: Honda Clarity
Consumer Reports says Honda's first electrified-only model might have issues with the climate control and "body hardware."
Least reliable: Honda Odyssey
CR dinged the Odyssey for potential issues with its in-car electronics and, again, "body hardware."
Least reliable: Kia Cadenza
Kia's oft-forgotten large sedan may have issues with the climate control and fuel system, CR reports.
Least reliable: Ram 3500
CR notes that Ram's heavy-duty pickup might have problems with its steering, suspension and engine cooling.
Least reliable: Tesla Model X
CR and many owners have pointed out issues with the Model X's electronics, as well as its unique rear doors.
Least reliable: Volkswagen Atlas
CR knocked the Atlas down a peg for its climate system, transmission and various noises and leaks.
