| The V6, 4-wheel-drive Toyota Tacoma pickup truck has
a 2010 Auto Reliability GPA of 3.81 over a 10-year data
history and has helped place Toyota Motor Corporation
second among all automobile manufacturers in the Early 2010
Auto Reliability Grade Point Averages and
first
among all automobile manufacturers in the Updated 2010
Auto Reliability Grade Point Averages. See the
table below. |
This page provides detailed 2010 auto reliability
ratings and auto reliability rankings in a reorderable table listing most of
the coupes, convertibles, sedans, hatchbacks, wagons, sport-utility
vehicles, and pickup trucks sold in the U.S. It expresses the auto reliability ratings
and auto reliability rankings, and makes available auto reliability
comparisons and auto reliability contrasts, using the Auto Reliability Grade
Point Average, or Auto Reliability GPA. This auto reliability index is
used as it is an easy-to-understand auto reliability measure, and is well known
to nearly all persons having attended high school. The page also employs
Auto Reliability Grades as a reliability index, as this measure of auto
reliability differences is well known to all persons having attended
elementary school. The Auto Reliability GPA is an automobile reliability
statistic that is obtained from Consumer Reports' auto reliability
survey data
summarized in the reliability tables of Consumer Reports: New Car Buying Guide: 2010 and
the April 2010 issue of the Consumer Reports magazine. Column
reordering on this page is Ajax
enabled to make for a convenient and easy-to-use reordering option.
The Reliable
Two, Toyota Motor Corporation and Honda Motor Company, appear first in the
table, because of their rather singular stature; the remaining manufacturers
are listed alphabetically.
Letter grades are determined thusly: A if the GPA is 3.50 to
4.00, B if the GPA is 2.50 to 3.49, C if the GPA is 1.50 to 2.49, D if
the GPA is 0.50 to 1.49, and F if the GPA < 0.50.
GPAs for 4 age ranges are given so that the visitor may
examine more thoroughly the age range that is of greater interest to
him/her, if such there be.
To arrange any column in ascending order
(smallest value on top), click the header of the column.
Arranging a reliability GPA or Grade column in ascending order
will place the lowest reliability scores and least reliable
autos at the top (after those with empty cells) and the highest
reliability scores and most reliable autos at the bottom of the
table. To
rearrange any column in descending order
(largest value on top), click the header one more time.
Arranging a reliability GPA or Grade column in descending order
will place the highest reliability scores and most reliable
autos at the top.

Notice how Toyota and Honda products dominate the upper end of the reliability
spectrum for all age ranges.
|
Caution |
When the number of model
years of data (appearing in the far right column) for a
vehicle is limited to more recent years, the reliability GPAs,
Average GPA, and Minimum GPA of that vehicle may be
less reflective of the vehicle's reliability over a
longer period of time. For
example, the Ford Fusion has only a 4-year reliability
history, so if one is considering purchasing a used
Fusion, or a new Fusion but owning it for 6 or more
years, it may be better to examine the
GPAs of the Ford line in
the outer years. |

A
PDF version
of this page is available for downloading and/or printing. As
the quality standing of each auto manufacturer changes slowly
over time, you may wish to save the PDF version for your perusal
over the next several decades, for sharing with friends or
future generations, or for negotiating with recalcitrant
dealerships. A
PDF version for the 2009 Reliability GPAs is also
available. The latter may be particularly useful if a vehicle of
interest does not appear in the 2010 list.

The method of computation of the GPAs is probably familiar to nearly
every college, technical school, and high school student (at least I hope
so). A Grade Point of 4.00 (that is, an A) is given to a Consumer Reports
"Much Better Than Average" rating, a GP of 3.00 (that is, a B) is given to a
CR "Better Than Average" rating, a GP of 2.00 (that is, a C) to an "Average"
rating, a GP of 1.00 (that is, a D) to a "Worse Than Average" rating, and a
GP of 0.00 (that is, an F) to a "Much Worse Than Average" rating. A Grade
Point Average (GPA) is an average of the Grade Points and is computed using
Microsoft's Average(a:b,[c:d],...) function.
The table is an immediate import from Microsoft's Access and a more
distant import from Microsoft's Excel. The integration of the Access
database into Microsoft's Web Expression software makes the reordering of
the columns a rather simple task. For Ajax's partial post back, the
ScriptManager and UpdatePanel controls were inserted by dragging; <ContentTemplate>
was manually inserted into the code immediately after the ScriptManager and
Update controls.
