Title: never again
Review: I used an earlier edition to buy my Mercury Cougar a few years ago. While the book clearly showed that earlier models were unreliable, the ratings for the newer models were pretty good. I thought that meant the car had been improved in recent years. Turns out, all that meant was the newer models weren't old enough yet to start suffering from the same problems all the previous models had. Apparently, the reliability ratings don't take that into account. The book is fine, so long as you recognize that limitation and completely discount good reliability ratings for newer models. Instead, look at the ratings for the older models.
