Consumer Reports Study Declares Toyota Best Auto Brand

Toyota is the top auto brand of a Consumer Report study that determined the best brand based on consumer feedback. Toyota had the best score of 133, about 15 points more than the next leading brand.

While the margin between brands has shrunk from last year, “Toyota continues to dominate in brand perception.” In fact, this is the second year in a row that Toyota has topped this Consumer Reports best brand list.

“Toyota is a brand that is trusted and recognized for value, safety and innovation around the world,” said Nathan Ayers of Burien Toyota. “Toyota scored in the top five brands for six out of the seven factors that buyers say are most important to them, including ranking first for “Quality” and “Environmentally Friendly/Green." We think that’s pretty impressive and hope that potential buyers do, too.”
