While it's nice to see the WRX on the good end of the list, I have to question their methodology. They also ranked cars like the Honda Fit and Toyota FJ Cruiser as among the most reliable. Errr... how can they determine that when both have been out for such a short period of time? Something smells fishy...

mxpop · 11-09-2006, 08:23 PM

prob expected reliability which would make this just someones guess...

AWDfreak · 11-09-2006, 08:45 PM

No, they've got it all wrong, the WRX/WRX STI belongs to the top. :P j/k

Wow, how'd they get these results anyways? How'd they test 'em?.....

Yeah, I wouldn't put much into this. The Pontiac Solstice is also a brand new 2006 car. "Reliability" has a lot of definitions.
