I have never had the confidence in CR results to pay for their
magazine or purchase a report online.


They are not perfect and sometimes miss the mark, but on balance they
are the best consumer testing and reporting organization that I'm
aware of. I wouldn't dream of buying a big ticket item without
checking to see what they had to say about either that specific model,
or the manufacturer in general.

Their automotive reporting has always been spot on im my experience,
especially the reliability evaluations.


That might be because they have an extremly large pool of users
expressing what they view as important criteria and they are providing
realiability over a long period. I like the reviews where they provide
both the experts and the users opinions. I feel you get the best of
both worlds.

I know many people who swear by CR and say they have never gone wrong
buying a BB. The just missed the mark on those products I knew.
