    Knowing how much you might like—or even love—your next sedan would be a pretty valuable insight as you go about researching the purchase. That’s because making a big financial decision based on a simple test drive of a model—which might not be in the trim that you want to purchase—isn’t the best choice.

    So, to help you know whether you will like or dislike the sedan you’re considering, Consumer Reports asks members each year about their car purchases. They provide great insights by answering one question: If you had it to do all over again, would you definitely buy or lease the same model?

    Combined with CR’s test and reliability ratings, our owner satisfaction ratings give you valuable guidance when you’re shopping for a vehicle. (Detailed information is available on our car model pages.)

    If you’re a CR member, the list below is already available to you. Members can also click on each model to see how satisfied owners are with the vehicle in several specific aspects of their car ownership experience, such as comfort, driving enjoyment, ease of use of the in-car electronics, and overall value.
