We often mock <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/toyota/">Toyota</a> for building boring, soulless cars, but a new study by <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/consumer+reports/"><em>Consumer Reports</em></a> suggests that regardless of whether that's true, the company has some of the best used cars on the market. In its report on used cars from 2004-2013, the Japanese automaker had 11 vehicles among its brands on the list - more than any other automaker.<br />
<br />
CR breaks the list down by cost and vehicle size, and Toyota has at least one entry at every price point and in nearly every segment. To score a recommendation, a vehicle had to perform well in the magazine's initial tests and score above-average reliability results. It also tried to only suggest cars with electronic stability control. Of the 28 recommended vehicles, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/honda/">Honda</a>/<a href="http://www.autoblog.com/acura/">Acura</a> had the second most mentions at six, and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/ford/">Ford</a>, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/hyundai/">Hyundai</a> and <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/subaru/">Subaru</a> managed two each.<br />
<br />
The Detroit brands also made it to the list, but not in a positive way. <em>Consumer Reports</em> compiled a list of 22 vehicles it wouldn't recommend because "they have multiple years of much-worse-than-average overall reliability." <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/category/gm/">General Motors</a> had the most unrecommended models on the list at six, but <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/chrysler/">Chrysler</a> and Ford weren't far behind, with five cars each from their brands not making the grade.
