Consistency is key. Consumer Reports' annual analysis reveals that some brands exhibit high-level performance across their lines. Many others do not.
In our 2017 analysis of which car brands make the best vehicles, Audi takes the top position for the second year in a row, followed by Porsche, BMW, Lexus, and Subaru. Although these are the same top five as last year, Porsche and BMW rose, and Lexus and Subaru moved down.
This year Chrysler, Acura, Infiniti, and Cadillac were the most upwardly mobile. Chrysler rose seven places, and the other three brands each moved up six places compared with last year.
Some of the standout brands benefit from a tiny roster. Tesla, the highest-ranked American brand, earns its position based on just two models. Likewise, Chrysler has one of the higher average road-test scores, but that’s also based on just two models: the 300 and Pacifica (low Overall Scores keep both from being recommended). Fiat, Jeep, Mitsubishi, and Land Rover remain stubbornly stuck at the bottom of the list.
To arrive at the rankings, we averaged the Overall Scores for new cars from every major automotive brand based on the vehicles we have purchased and tested, then we ranked them. Brands with just one tested model were omitted.

What do you guys think, are Audis better than BMWs and Porsches?
 
Can hardly take consumer reports seriously. Want to know how good a car is? Read Car & Driver or Road & Track.
 
Porsche and Audis after the latest scandals? No way!
 
Why isn't consumer reports legit and what do you think of kellybb?

Consumer report doesn't take in to account the models/years in these manufacturers. Kellybb is okay but not always accurate. If you want to read consumer reviews on a specific car...I'd go with Edmunds. it's a website and people usually write reviews of their experience with each car and all.
 
Tesla. All about Electric and Hydrogen cars now.

Honourable mentions to Toyota (Prius and Mirai?), Mitsubishi (Outlander PHEV), Hyundai (Ioniq), BMW (i3/i8), Renault (Zoe), Nissan (Leaf)

Tesla is going to blow all of these traditional manufacturers out of the market with their $35K mass production fully electric car expected to hit the streets at the end of 2018.

Inside scope is that GM/Audi/Merc/BMW are also trying to play catchup.
 
Audi is over rated in my opinion and a notch below BMW, Merc and Lexus having driven all 4. Porsche is a level above all of them though. Another one of my favourites is the Chrysler 300C which has a fantastic drive.
 
New Tesla Roadster will do 0-60 in 1.9 seconds !
