Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.
4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

That sort of rating does nothing other than tell me that Consumer Reports is for deciding whether the Kia Sedona or Ford Focus is the better long term investment for a utility based driving appliance. I have three land rovers and a Porsche and would like to buy a Ferrari. I don't read consumer reports for guidance, I watch Top Gear instead.
Love that show! I actually saw it for the first time in Ireland on a local tv station years ago. I had never heard of it here until after we got back... Anyway, I get CS and I swear they just move the black and red circles around in a random fashion each publication. The last one I have has the '05 Boxster as being the worst as far as reliability. I have a '00 S, so I like the ratings this month... Oh well....
what a great show. I love it when Clarkson kept calling the cayman the cockster. It drove the producer crazy. I watch the show every week. In case you missed that episode here is the link. The Cockster
