Lexus, Toyota and Buick are the most reliable brands in Consumer Reports' latest survey, a reward for their conservative approach to new technology.
It's the fourth straight year that Lexus came in first and Toyota came in second. Two of their hybrids—the Toyota Prius and the Lexus CT 200H—were named the most reliable vehicles. But Buick—General Motors Co.'s near-luxury marque—is the first domestic brand to crack the top three since the magazine began tracking vehicle reliability in the early 1980s.
Audi and Kia rounded out the top five brands.
Dodge, Chrysler, Fiat and Ram—all owned by Fiat Chrysler Automobiles—were the worst performers. Electric car maker Tesla Motors also fared poorly.
The magazine released its annual reliability survey Monday. It's closely watched by the industry, since many buyers look to the magazine for recommendations.
