Audi best European brand in the Consumer Reports Reliability Survey 2017

Audi has been voted best European car brand for the sixth time in a row in the Reliability Survey run by Consumer Reports. The renowned U.S. consumer magazine runs this survey every year among its readers and publishes the results.

This year, Consumer Reports collected owner feedback on around 640,000 automobiles. The ranking from the Reliability Survey is taken together with the magazine’s test results to create an overall ranking of the test vehicles.
