SlashGear Asks: Which Brand Makes The Best Cars?

In a SlashGear survey with 590 respondents, 18.64% said that Chevrolet makes the best cars. Nissan followed closely with 17.97% and Ford with 17.63%. Interestingly, unlike most polls we’ve conducted, the top three most preferred car brands were chosen by a close margin. Since Chevrolet is General Motors’ best-selling brand, we’re not surprised that most people think it makes the best cars. Besides that, GM is the biggest automaker in North America and according to IHS Markit, it has the most loyal customers (PDF).

However, just because a manufacturer sells a high number of vehicles every year, it doesn’t mean that most people think it makes the best cars. If that was the case, Toyota would have been the runner-up since it’s the second biggest auto brand by sales volume in the U.S. according to Statista, yet most people in our survey picked Nissan after Chevrolet. Then again, Ford coming in third is consistent with its U.S. market share and IHS Markit award for overall loyalty in the U.S. after GM.

After Ford, Volkswagen was the fourth most popular option with 14.41% followed by Hyundai at 13.05%. Tesla was second-last in our poll with 12.20%, and Dodge was the least popular car brand. This is consistent with another survey we did in which most people thought Dodge makes the worst cars.
