The Most Satisfying New Cars, SUVs, and Trucks
Hybrids, sporty cars, and spacious SUVs and sedans top the list, according to Consumer Reports’ surveys
Want to be sure you’ll still love your next new car long after the warranty runs out? The easiest way is to check out CR’s owner satisfaction ratings, which are based on responses from CR members on more than 300,000 cars, SUVs, trucks, and minivans. Our members told us everything they like about the cars they’re driving—such as low ownership costs and strong fuel economy—as well as what they don’t like—poor reliability, noisy cabins, and overly complicated controls.
If you’re a Consumer Reports member, this article, including ratings on the most and least satisfying models in five categories, is available to you. CR members also have full access to the results of our Annual Auto Surveys; first-drive reviews of the newest cars, SUVs, and trucks; and our full road tests and exclusive ratings for each vehicle we buy.
