How to read the vehicle profiles: here's the key information to look for in our 210 vehicle profiles.
The vehicle profiles that begin on the next page contain a variety of information to help you make a sound car-buying decision. They cover all major 2003 and early-2004 models that are available or will be soon. In each profile, you'll find key specifications and measurements; forecasts of reliability, owner satisfaction, and depreciation; prices; safety information; and CONSUMER REPORTS' independent, unbiased reviews. Below is a guide to interpreting the information in the profiles. ("NA" means data are not available. "New" means the model is new or redesigned, therefore, we don't have the specific data.)
RELATED ARTICLE: RECOMMENDED
A model earns a "recommended" label if it performed well in our tests, has had average or better reliability according to our annual reader survey, and has performed adequately if crash-tested. Some models are not recommended because we haven't tested them recently or because we don't have sufficient reliability data.
BODY STYLE, TRIM LINES, AND PRICE
Models often come in various body styles (sedan, coupe, wagon, etc.) and trim lines, which are levels that differ mainly in their standard equipment, available options, and price. Pickup trucks are listed by their available cab configurations. Price is the range of base prices for a model's body styles and trim lines. The base price is the manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP). without options or destination charge. An "E" indicates that the price is estimated.
OWNERSHIP FACTORS
* Reliability. This is our prediction of a model's reliability, based on our latest annual survey. See page 86 to compare models.
