This year forty-five cars made the list of most satisfying vehicles. Twenty-six are Japanese, 11 European, and 7 American--almost twice as many domestic cars as a year ago...
The sporty Chevrolet Corvette is the most-liked domestic car. 89% of owners said they'd buy it again. The least well-liked vehicles tended to be gas-guzzling pickups, SUVs, and minivans. At the bottom of the list was the Chevrolet Uplander with only 36% of respondents telling us they'd buy it again.

Wow. Honda nearly swept the small car category.
I find it hillarious that the Ridgeline won the "Full-sized Pickups" category.
How did the Caravan score near the bottom, yet it's still the bestselling van?
I can vouch for the S2000 scoring high. :-)

2006 330i and my answer is an emphatic NO. If my car burned to the ground tonight, I'd dance a happy dance.

You can't see out of an FJ so I'm not surprised it did poorly. Also, why require premium fuel on a vehicle like this? That's nuts.

Actually, FJ did very well, with 85% saying they would buy again. Compare to Ford Escape, where only 44% would buy again.
And Honda looks more impressive in the small car category because the Civic was listed 3 different times.

The Caravan that scored near the bottom was the 4 cylinder model. I guess they managed to track down the 7 people in the world that actually bought a 4 cyl Caravan.
Never put a lot of faith in consumer Reports statistics.
