On Wednesday, Consumer Reports released its annual list of the 10 most reliable cars. The publication created the list by analyzing survey responses on more than 500,000 vehicles, and used the responses to predict which cars will create the fewest problems for their owners.

Toyota placed seven vehicles on the list, more than any other automaker, and took the top spot with its Lexus GX SUV. Consumer Reports said the GX was fast and quiet for an SUV, offering a smooth ride and a comfortable cabin.

Toyota and Lexus were also the top two brands on Consumer Reports’ list of the most reliable car brands for the sixth consecutive year. Lexus took the top spot with an average reliability score of 78 out of 100, and Toyota ranked second with a reliability score of 76.

“Lexus is an excellent example of how technologically advanced luxury vehicles can also be very reliable,” Consumer Reports said.

No vehicles from American automakers made the most reliable cars list, as the other three spots were taken by Mazda, Kia, and Honda. American automakers took six of the 10 spots on Consumer Reports’ list of the least reliable cars, reflecting the poor performance of American automakers on the publication’s list of the most reliable brands. American automakers accounted for nine of the 10 least reliable brands, and none placed in the top 15.

These are the 10 most reliable cars, according to Consumer Reports.
