Our 2013 Annual Auto Survey (http://autos.yahoo.com/news/consumer-reports%E2%80%99-car-reliability-survey-shows-japanese-brands-dominating--europeans-gaining-ground-165357824.html) reveals the best and worst vehicles in new car reliability based on our subscribers' experiences with 1.1 million vehicles over the last 10 years (2004-2013). Our data provide the basis for our forecasting how the 2014 models are likely to hold up, and reveals the most dependable used cars as well.
