Yeah, The only Mitsubishi to make the list and I have it. Outlander

Yea, my Honda Ridgeline made the list. Strange though as they must be going only on reputation because the Ridgeline was only introduced a few months back.

 

[Bryanccfshr]

Take them all with a grain of salt. I would have rather had a Honda CRV but I got the Outlander for dirt cheap.

yeah its funny how the ridgeline made the list. only being out a few months. all vehicles has their problems. and no make and model is perfect. it really comes down to how a person treats his or her vehicle. with reg maint. and not dog the crap out of it all the time. I still laugh everytime I see the ridgeline. maybe a nice lil car with a bed on the back to haul groceries but never be able to tow nothing heavy with it. dont get me wrong I love honda motors they last a long time. my moms honda had over 400,000 and only had the top of the motor rebuilt. the motor last longer than the body lol

So why isn't the Pontiac Vibe included on the list?

The Toyota Matrix is.

Aren't these mechanically identical?

 

[Bryanccfshr]

Yes, if they are co-opted I would assume the same reliability for the vibe.

 

[labman]

Could the dealer make the difference?

 

[brianl703]

I think that's part of it, along with the "feelings" people have about Toyota and Pontiac.

It must be a slow news day when CNN reports consumer news from Consumer Reports. (And I happen to like CR.)
