Interesting

I heard about this list at school. Its the best and worst cars based on the past Consumer Reports test drives and varius other tests. they are list alphebeticaly and divided into two lists. The lists are compiled from overall reliability information covering 1998-2005 models with better than average or much worse than average reliability. Only models that were in production for more than three years were included. Problems with the engine, engine cooling, transmission, and drive trains were weighted more heavily than other problems. The first list is the good list (and my car is on it)

That would put it in the average category, only the better than average and worse than average made the list.

Well, my car is just average too. Must not be that bad =) The first day my Dad drove it home and took it for a wash. Man, was he ever upset our cats walked all over it before I got home!
