JD Power: Prius most dependable compact

Tops according to JD Power and Consumer Reports

Here we go again. Numerous lawyers around the country have called Toyota vehicles unsafe and unreliable. Yet, again, however, real world data doesn't match these assertions.

Not long ago, despite the recalls, Consumer Reports data again showed that Toyota is still one of the most reliable brands, and both the Prius and Camry hybrid were Top Ten Best Values.

Today, JD Power has released its latest reliability findings and the Prius is the most dependable compact car. While Toyota did drop 3 spots in dependability to number 5, Lexus was third and Toyota still topped more segments than any other automaker.
