8 popular vehicles that are less reliable than you think, according to Consumer Reports

Automakers spend over $12 billion annually on advertising. With the average price of a new car around $49,740 according to KBB, it’s no wonder automakers are willing to shell out on high-end video production and advertising while vying with one another for consumers’ attention.

And if we are to listen to the claims put forward in vehicle adverts, we might be inclined to believe that every automaker produces the longest-lasting, most reliable cars and trucks. 

But of course, this can’t be true. That’s why it’s so important to consider third-party data when car shopping.
