My C5 Vette which I had for two years was perfect. So far (6mos) my S2000 has been perfect. My '94 Miata (purchased new) has been perfect.....all 3 driven hard at times, a lot depends on luck and how you treat them.

The H2 landed in the poopoo because people bitched about the awful fuel mileage. Understandable but what did they expect from a large block with 4WD and a 6L. engine?

CR auto ratings are a joke. I wouldn't use the rag to wipe my ass. Why is the Toyota 4runner in both the best and worst category? Is the difference in engines that substantial? So they're comparing a 3/4-ton chassis, body-on-frame truck (H2) against a car-based mini-ute (CRV, RAV4, etc) - not exactly apples to apples.

Moreover, they are providing a binary data point, either the car is good or bad with no underlying statistics broken down into categories to substantiate the claim. The title of the post, S2000 is most reliable is undoubtedly incorrect, however one could say the S2000 is on average more reliable than the Corvette and I don't think many of us here would disagree.

I think CR is probably the most unbiased information you can find. That said, you can always pick holes in any sort of survey.
The question is not whether or not one particular report is 100% accurate, but rather whether or not that report is more statistically likely to be accurate in comparison to other reports.
Now, who else you got besides CR to tell whether or not a car is likely to be reliable?
