IMO, Consumer Reports isn't even good entertainment. Over the years, I subscribed several times, hoping for a different experience (yeah, I know, "One definition of insanity...) but was disappointed every time.
Some things I have found to be "Always" items:
Foreign vehicles are wonderful (even if they are built in the United States).
Jeeps are terrible.
Any truck that rides like a truck is useless.
If they like an appliance, I probably won't.
If they don't like an appliance, chances are I will get excellent service from it.
If they like a movie, it isn't worth buying a ticket to see it.
If they do not like a movie, I will probably enjoy it.
Lesson learned (finally): Do not subscribe to Consumer Reports!
Of course, your results may vary.
I believe they rated the Chevy Impala as their car of the year last year or year before.
Yes, they did trash US cars years ago. That's because US cars deserved to be trashed. They were junk.
