Isn't JD Power basically funded by GM? The fact that they call Sonic, Verano, and Equinox the most reliable in their market is laughable. If you think Honda has 1.5T issues, you should check out what happened to first gen GM 1.5T. I'm not sure there's one left on the market with an original PCV valve and intake manifold.

GM may have had issues with its early 1.5T but, unlike Honda, at least it did something to actually fix it.

Haven't read a JD article in so long I almost forgot why, then I saw Mini Cooper on the list above as *most dependable* and it all came back to me........:Loco:

How the major brands ranked...

The data here is meaningless for any discussion related to the 5th gen CR-V...

"The annual J.D. Power study gauges dependability of 3-year-old vehicles over the last 12 months, meaning this year's survey assessed the 2016 model year."

Yeah they took several years and made a replacement part with no major recalls initiated. Sounds a lot like Honda.

This is, sadly, so true that it has to be repeated:

Compact SUV: Chevrolet Equinox

I knew two people that had these and they were both junk.

I knew two people that had these and they were both junk.

And I know two people that own the current generation and love them!

 

[UMRdyldo]

And I know two people that own the current generation and love them!

I owned 2 Chevy Cobalts and loved them. But outside of their power train, they were garbage factories.

Anecdotes are fun.

Much of this data doesn't even vaguely resemble Consumer Report's data (Mini Cooper? Really?), and I trust them a heck of a lot more than JD Power. BMW anything above the ToyoLexus equivalent?
