I’m quite sure they do a great job on other topics. What about by age? Millennials liked the Subaru Ascent GenXers, the Tesla Model S Boomers, the Ford Expedition and the Silent Generation, the Genesis G90.īut the top vehicle for everyone in every category was the Tesla Model 3.Ĭars that inspire the strongest loyalty are fun to drive, reliable, deliver great fuel economy or can be driven solely on electricity, and provide a high-tech, luxurious driving environment.ĬR also found that price matters when considering happiness.If you listen to the Car Pro Show, you know I generally disagree with Consumer Reports about anything car related. For the South, it was the Ford Expedition in the West, the Tesla Model S and in the North, the Toyota Avalon. What about where you live? Folks in the Midwest were happiest with the Chevy Bolt. For example, women were most satisfied with the Kia Telluride, Mazda MX-5 Miata, and Ford Expedition, while men preferred the Tesla Model S and the Hyundai Santa Fe. Owner satisfaction is an individual thing, but there are some interesting trends. Their answer is the basis of CR’s owner satisfaction score, which factors in five categories: driving experience, comfort, value, styling, and dashboard controls.

CR members were asked whether they would buy the same car they own again. But will the car that sparks joy for you be the same for your partner? What about your grandmother or a cousin living on the other side of the country? Based exclusive data, Consumer Reports reveals which cars are most likely to leave us satisfied.Ĭonsumer Reports has survey data on more than 420,000 vehicles - and not just about gas mileage and reliability.
