Most and Least Liked Vehicles in 2023 According to Consumer Reports
U.S. magazine Consumer Reports has once again published a list of vehicles owners like the most. The results are from the 2022 Annual Auto Surveys, involving more than 300,000 vehicles from the 2020-2022 model years, as well as some 2023 models.
The team used criteria like price, performance, reliability, comfort, enjoyment and more, then came up with a satisfaction score based on the percentage of owners who responded "definitely yes" to the question of whether they would buy the same vehicle if they had it to do all over again.
