Seriously. They know a hell of a lot more about the cars than the owners. There are techs on here and their commentary is very valuable. There are knowledgeable DIY folks also. If you have an independent tech and are looking into new cars, they can probably tell you what they like and don't like about your options... mine does anyway. Will note certain bad model year ranges also, or at least things to be aware of. This stuff is not black and white, but if you ask around a bit, you get a half decent picture.
CR is a crock. Ok, so they collect some reliability data. It is very broad based (geographically, and user maintenance-wise), and seemingly unspecific... so "engine problems" can be simple like a DIC swap or extensive, and end up categorized pretty much the same... or at least that was my observation the few times I have looked at their data - it was pretty vague, perhaps to enable editorial license in rating cars "recommended" or "not"...
