The two main factors influencing whether you will say a resolute “I take it!” when choosing a car are: or uncertain "I'll think about it ..." – this is the price and reliability. Someone attracts friends and acquaintances as experts, someone is looking for reviews on the forums of car owners. And we decided to rely on the opinion of experts from Consumer Reports and JD Power – publications that annually compile rating of the most reliable cars 2019 by surveying hundreds of thousands of drivers.
