Porsche: 4.23
Porsche is another brand that places a premium on reliability. No vehicle in the Porsche lineup of cars and SUVs scored less than 4.0 or 4.5.
Is there any wonder why KBB named Porsche one of the two best resale values for 2017?
Lexus: 4.36
The best of the best. J. D. Power calls Lexus the most reliable car brand selling vehicles in the United States. There are seven vehicles overall that scored a perfect 5.0 and Lexus makes three of them. The LS, GS and GS Hybrid were the top rating winners.
The only slip in the Lexus lineup for 2017 is the Lexus IS luxury small car which received a 3.0.
It’s good to know which brands have earned reputations for predictable reliability. It’s also very interesting to note which brands didn’t make the top 10 list.
The American icons Chevrolet and Ford are not present, nor is the former American icon Chrysler. Volkswagen, one of the largest automotive manufacturers is also absent, along with luxury brands like Jaguar Land Rover and Volvo.
We mention these brands only to point out the competition and how significant making the list really is.
