March 3, 200818 yr Consumer reports ( Yeah I know ) list the 11 worst cars lin-up. Looks like Chrysler has there work cut out for them Jeep Wrangler Jeep Liberty Jeep Patriot Dodge Nitro Hummer H 3 Chevy Aveo Chevy Trailbrazer Toyota FJ Cruser Toyota Yaris Suzuki Forenza Mercury Marquis
March 3, 200818 yr i read this. the rankings aren't really fair.. they're only the worst cars according to the way consumer reports rates their cars. they don't take into account, for example, the wrangler's offroading capabilities or the yaris's reliability and affordability. people should take those rankings with a grain of salt.

How does the Wrangler get rated as worst? It appeals to a specific set of buyers, not Camry driving, latte sipping yuppies.
March 3, 200818 yr The Jeep products have always rated really low at CR. Read a 4 wheel drive magazine and you'll get another story. The Yaris, Forenza, and FJ really belong on the list. The Japanese have built some great vehicles, but these three ain't it. Chris
March 3, 200818 yr For several of the models they specify that their ratings do not take into account off-roading ability, which is the primary purpose for at least two of the vehicles on that list (well the FJ is debatable...). Overall I think it's a stupid list, as they're giving the Jeep a bad name even though it is a good vehicle for its purpose.

If any other company could do this car this well, they would. Patriot - Really? From a brand standpoint, it makes more sense than the Compass...not that I actually like the Patriot, just better than the Compass. H3 - The H3 has done pretty well for GM hasn't it? Everybody needs to stop hatin' on Hummer and realize that no matter what, some people will want a big, tough truck. Borderline list: Liberty & Yaris...the rest can stay.
March 26, 200817 yr I've noticed that the slick, glossy pages of Consumer Reports make for really awful buttwipe. So that magazine has no value whatsoever in our household.
March 26, 200817 yr If I was freezing to death on an ice floe, had one match and a stack of CR mags beside me, I would rather freeze to death than subject the match to the indignaty of touching one of those magazines.
