If a magazine (or newspaper) publishes an article on a subject of which you have personal knowledge and totally screw it up, it doesn't make sense to turn the page and read about a subject that you don't have personal knowledge and assume it is correct. No, I assume they have that just as screwed up, I just don't recognize it as quickly. I kind of assume they get most basic irrefutable facts right (weight, EPA fuel economy, dimensions) but you can see that's not even a sure thing.Consumer Reports reviews are for people who buy cars like they buy refrigerators. Their historical reliability ratings are of some value but I think even those are impacted by the biases of their core audience.
Yes, reliability scores are of some limited value, but that's about it.
