Power and Associates ranks Toyota overall highest of any non-premium brand winning eight awards of the 14 available model segments including sub-compact, compact, midsize van, and large pick up.

Customers of Germain Toyota Columbus can feel satisfied knowing that Toyota vehicles essentially dominated quality and dependability across nearly all categories. Winning first place for the 2012 Vehicle Dependability Study was the Toyota Yaris, Prius, Sienna and Tundra with the Corolla (2nd), RAV4 (3rd), Camry (3rd), Highlander (3rd), and Avalon (2nd) coming in either second or third place.
