is published the rating of the reliability of automobiles

the American publication Consumer Reports it published the rating of the reliability of the automobiles, which are sold on the market OF THE USA. The upper lines of reliability in all segments of market, on the version of the experts of publication, engaged the models of Japanese companies. But lower - divided in half European and American machines. "Koreans" in THE USA it is sold comparatively a little; therefore in the rating about them of almost any references. Then there is much information on pick-ups and extra-roads builder of all colors.

Consumer Reports, the publication of American noncommercial organization "union of users", conducted research among 3 mln. American subscribers and readers of periodical. Models were compared with respect to the number of censures from the side of their owners and a number of breakdowns in the recent 12 months. The difference in the reliability between the leaders of rating and its outsiders strikes. Thus, extra-road builder Infiniti QX, whose sales soon can begin, also, breaks 8 times of more frequent than the leader of rating in the segment of "large" extra-roads builder - Toyota Land Cruiser.

However, the results of the interrogation not of steel by surprise for the experts. Americans as before highly evaluate the production of Japanese automobile it is concern. Of 31 most reliable model 29 they proved to be by the "Japanese". In this enumeration burn 15 models of company Toyota and her lyuksovogo subdivision Lexus. The machines of these models engaged almost all upper lines of rating on the different segments of market. They lead in the segment of the compact automobiles: Toyota (Echo, Prius and Corolla), Honda The civic and Subaru Impreza.

Besides the customary with all of compact models, extra-roads builder and pick-ups publication tested the hybrid automobiles, which begin to collect popularity. It is possible to penyat' to the bias of their owners, but all mentioned in the rating - gasoline- electrical Honda Accord and The civic, Toyota Prius and Lexus RX400h - were obtained very appreciations.

For the American and European models rating Consumer Reports rather became the rating of unreliability. In it burn 22 American automobiles and 20 European. Four lines in the number of worse occupy the machines of brand Nissan and its subsection of niya Infinity. Such impression, that two Korean models, which were proven to be in this list, were mentioned generally on the misunderstanding. Korean brendy are not so extended in THE USA in order to pretend to some places even in the "neprestizhnom" rating. Only Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage they were noted in the number of unreliable compact extra-roads builder.

Several European models, for example, 6- drum BMW X5 and X3, improved its positions in comparison with the past year. This only extra-roads builder from the "Europeans", that received rating "above average", and only their publication recommended for the purchase. However, the majorities of European auto- on the American concepts are placed in the category of reliability "below average". Most frequently being broken - BMW X5 with engine V8, Land Rover Range Rover, Land Rover LR3, Porsche Cayenne, Volkswagen Touareg and Volvo XC90.

American extra-roads builder produced to the experts the mixed impression. While Chevrolet Tahoe and Suburban, Mercury Mariner, GMC Yukon and Cadillac Escalade they did not cause many censures in their owners, such models, as Ford Explorer and Expedition, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Hummer H2 and Chevrolet TrailBlazer burn in the "black list". Commenting on the conclusions of a study, experts Consumer Reports insist on what there are no poor or good automobile stamps. Depending on concrete model the reliability of one or other automobile brand or another can strongly differ.
