Subaru Selected as Best Automaker by Consumer Reports
The report card shows which manufacturers are building the best all-around models, and this year's winner was Subaru.
Recently redesigned models such as the Impreza, Legacy, and Outback contributed to the strong test results. Rounding out the top 5 were Mazda, Toyota, Honda, and Nissan.
Ford fell to 10th place, from 5th last year - mostly due to problems with their MyFord Touch infotainment system (which I don't think is completely fair).
Check out the graph below showing how each manufacturer did on the report card:
