They claim to do independent testing on cars. I am suppose to believe that they never ran across a prius, corolla, camry or whatever junk toyotas have been recalled lately, that alerted their keen senses to a possible quality problem? Some fine testing methods they have. And the reaction from the self proclaimed consumer protection group... temporarily suspend the recommended status. Are you kidding me? Toyota has breached the public trust; slow to acknowledge the problems and even slower to react. How many lives would have been saved had the problems been disclosed, investigated, and resolved when they first came to light. CR needs to take a hard line approach to these quality issues before they lose the public trust. CR is a joke. They claim to do independent testing on cars.

Especially the real world MPG and reliability ratings. I'll never start research to buy another car without it. Rating: 5 / 5 This book is such a great resource for buying a used car.

It is now in a different format and I believe doesn't include as much information as when published in book form, rather than this extended magazine format. But, in this day when we must watch every penny, it is a must. Rating: 4 / 5 I have always used this book when purchasing new and used cars, gives the buyer an edge both for quality and price.

But for anyone out there who might be waffling I would STRONGLY encourage you to purchase this. Consumer Reports has spent YEARS studying and researching cars. Find out what used cars are best. I always spend a significant amount of time studying Consumer Reports before I ever walk out of the door. <br /> <br />You'll be surprised what you learn. Cars you thought were top-notch may have years where they had serious problems. The insights you learn will save you thousands of dollars and tons of frustration. It will be the BEST 10 bucks you ever spend! <br /> <br />I'm tempted to write down my address because I know you'll want to send me a gift for recommending this! <br /> <br /> Rating: 5 / 5 I rarely take the time to review something.

Consumer Reports has always been a no nonsense magazine. Coupled with current pricing from the KBB, you should have no problem deciding what you want in transportation.

I have older issues going back to the late 1960s. I would never buy a car or truck, new or used, without consulting my CRBGs. They are indispensible.
