IF YOU COULD go back in time, would
you buy the same car again? We ask
thousands of CR members that question
in our Annual Auto Surveys, and their
answers are what we use to create our
Owner Satisfaction ratings. Predictably,
the cars that CR members say they
would definitely buy again are the ones
they’re most satisfied with. The least
satisfying vehicles have the lowest
percentage of owners who say they
would buy that model again. There’s a
good chance that the cars and SUVs
CR members have found satisfying are
the ones you’ll be happiest with, too.
And the ones they’ve found the least
satisfying are those that will probably
disappoint you.
