By Auto on Info's recently completed computations, models by Toyota Motor Corporation account for seven of the ten highest Reliability Percentranks for vehicles between the ages of 6 years and 8 years. The Reliability Percentranks are based on Consumer Reports 2005 and 2004 reliability tables and cover model year 1997.
The following table lists the top ten models, together with their respective Reliability Percentranks.
