Consumer Report rates hybrids among most reliable cars
Consumer report rated Honda Civic Hybrid, Prius and Honda Accord Hybrid among most reliable in it's class. Mercedes, Volksvagen and Jaguar are among the worst. Quote"The difference between the "Most Reliable" and "Least Reliable" is striking, the magazine said, citing a comparison of the Toyota Highlander Hybrid and Mercedes-Benz M-class SUVs. The owner of the M-class is likely to experience 10 times as many problems as the owner of the Highlander Hybrid, the magazine said."

Can't find anything about TCH, probably in the middle of the pack.

I have an online subscription to Consumer's Report and there is nothing about the TCH. I'm not sure that they have actually test driven it ...even though they indicate they have. The report doesn't appear to be specific enough.

As far as reliability goes they don't have the info. They send out surveys to their readers and have the results available for the April auto issue (perhaps sooner on-line). So I wouldn't expect to get any reliability info on the TCH from Consumer Reports for about another 4 months.

I am sure they proabbly paid extra attention to their new class of cars to make sure they get it right rather than to loose any chance of gaining market share in the new class.
