Cars: Best of the best, 2007

These are the models that rose to the top in nine different areas. One is tops in three of them.

Toyota Prius
Most reliable

Getting a sense of deja three? Yes, here's the Prius again. Trust us. We're just letting the rankings fall where they may.

According to Consumer Reports, the Toyota Prius has the best predicted reliability of any new car. That's based on surveys of thousands of actual owners.

Well, to get technical about it, the Toyota Yaris hatchback is even more reliable, but that's just for the hatchback version. Mix in the sedan version and the Yaris dips down a bit and the bubbly Prius rises back to the top.

Even though, Toyota, overall, has taken some lumps from Consumer Reports for slipping off its rock solid reliability pedestal, the company still knows a few things about how to make a car that just keeps on going.
