I apologize if this was posted earlier? Some of you may not respect Consumer Reports but here's what they think about the S2000. I'm surprised with all the Mercedes products on the least reliable list.

Most Reliable Sport/Sporty car
Most reliable (Best score first)
Lexus SC
Toyota Camry Solara (4-cyl.)
Subaru Impreza WRX
Honda S2000
Mitsubishi Eclipse*
2006 Mini Cooper hatchback

Least reliable (Worst score first)
Pontiac Solstice*
Mercedes-Benz SL
Mercedes-Benz CLK
Mercedes-Benz SLK (V6)
Chevrolet Corvette
Porsche 911 Carrera
Ford Mustang (V6)

* Predicted based on one model year.

 

yeah, repost. but defintley some good stuff

 

I am surprised that the Mini made it to the list of most reliable. I have a co-worker who owns a Mini cooper S and he has had nothing but problem with the car and have had the car at the dealer more than 10 times in the past 2 years.

 

Mercedes is owned by Chrysler...what did you expect?

 

Well, we first have to consider the fact that Consumer Reports doesn't seem to know what a sports car is! On their entire list of the goods and bads, there are only three true sports cars -- S 2000, Corvette, and Porsche 911. The rest are sedan-based coupes and convertibles and other "funny cars" but no real sports cars. CR ignored a lot of real sports cars here. Like, Miatas (MX5s) have always been relaible (if unexciting). Where are they?

CR's reliability reports are done from returns on surveys sent only to CR's subscribers -- and of course only from those who return them. That's going to skew the responses toward those with complaints. And, in recent years, I have noticed that the "problem area" responses didn't always justify the overall "reliability verdict" CR makes.

But at least CR can recognize that the S 2000 is a car (and not a refrigerator, for example), and that it is well made and reliable, per my experience. At least CR knows something.

 

good stuff
s2k ftw!!

 

seen it beore as well, but i am glad the s2k made it onto the list

 

Actually, it's the other way around. Chrysler was bought out by M-B.

No american auto manufacturer is in any kind of position to buy a big, succesful European or Japanese make at this time.

They are all broke because they've been building junk (with few exceptions) for way too long.

There are rumors now that Toyota is going to buy GM.

 

Well, maybe if all the American car companies get bought by foreign companies they will start to produce descent cars again. lol
