Most Japanese brand automobiles are known for their reliability.  Out of 33 models in a reliability list, Japanese manufacturers made 22 of them.  According to a recent survey, it is predicted that all Honda and Subaru vehicles will have at least average reliability this year.

Also in this year’s forecast, domestic car models are continuing to improve.  Ford is leading the way, and European cars are following suit.

The stellar reliability that Toyota was experiencing has slipped slightly.  The 2007 Toyota V6 Camry, and the 2007 Toyota Tundra V8 are below average in reliability.  Also below average is the Lexus GS.  These three models are no longer recommended due to their reliability ratings.

It is important for consumers to do their homework and purchase vehicles that have a good reliability rating.  There is nothing worse than being stuck on the side of the road with a broken down vehicle.  However, drivers should always make sure they have a road service program in case of unforeseen circumstances.
