The annual Reliability Study put out byConsumer Reports is considered the ultimate shopping guide for auto buyers who want more information about the dependability of select brands. And, this year Fletcher Jones Motorcars is happy to report that findings conclude that those in the market for a luxury vehicle that isn't likely to break down or need countless repairs, would be wise to choose anew Mercedes-Benz model.
Specifically, the German automaker ranked 4-percent higher than the industry average and even improved four spots since the previous year. It was ranked 14th out of 28.
So how does Consumer Reports determine its rankings?
Well, for starters to sufficiently assess reliability, Consumer Reports compiles data from over a million cars, trucks, minivans, CUVs, SUVs and other vehicles, for over three years. The findings are then compared against each other which ultimately provides the greatest insight for 2013 car buyers. The ultimate goal of the study is to factually represent each automaker's ability to market reliable vehicles to consumers.
And, as the study clearly points out, no matter if you choose a Mercedes-Benz SUV, sedan, wagon or hybrid model, you can be sure that you've made the right decision.
