The annual Consumer Reports survey of all the magazine’s subscribers asks automobile owners to report problems encountered with their vehicles over the past twelve months. Information on the kind of damage, the resulting costs or the time taken to repair the vehicle are incorporated into the ranking. Consumer Reports takes into account data relating to the last three vehicle model years.
This year, Consumer Reports collected owner feedback on around 640,000 automobiles. The ranking from the Reliability Survey is taken together with the magazine’s test results to create an overall ranking of the test vehicles. All eight Audi models tested receive a buy recommendation in 2017: the Audi A3, A4, A6, A8, Q3, Q5, Q7 and TT.
