Using Consumer reports or JD Power to buy a car is shit you shouldn't be doing under the age of 60

@sexytortoiseloverboy i dont view them as gospel.

The fact that they even still exist is insane

It's such a huge scheme

There is nothing wrong with using them as a single data point.

...

Okay not even arguing that one

You keep on thinking that

I mean it is

K

I only use jalopnik for buying vehicles

They do these "reports" and sell their brand to automotive companies

Ew jalopnik

jalopnik is the most reputable car sjte

site

Kidding. Dont actually care about them overmuch

but yeah, most ranking companies are about as trustworthy as credit rating agencies

jalopnik is independent though

According to consumer reports the Toyota 86 is the most reliable new car you can buy in the US.

they're the best

that wouldn't surprise me

low power, rwd, simple

?

Wait

Hold up

Last i looked they called it shit

Fun, but shit

I mean I just linked the consumer reports listing that you said you used as a reference yourself last year.

It's right there.

On my phone. Doesnt like opening links

Man that must be an old phone.

Nah. Just slow

Every phone I've used in the last 8 years has opened links fine.

Technically it does. But it is a little slow under the best circumstances

most complaints about the gt86 I've seen come down to it not having enough power because a lot of people don't seem to understand that it's a car sort of in the same bracket as the MX5 - it's a driving experience car, not a speed car

With shit internet it is worse

Well I would upload an image instead if I could, but only links are allowed.

and don't get me wrong, I wouldn't buy one because I'd like it to be faster, or if I were to buy one I'd also be immediately buying forced induction for it

The gt86 needs a supercharged uplevel version

Badly
