There are many reasons why a mechanic could hate a certain car model, but one reason that's best for consumers: It rarely breaks down and, therefore, rarely requires the driver to fork over his hard-earned cash to the mechanic. Luckily for us, Click and Clack -- otherwise known by their real names, brothers Tom and Ray Magliozzi -- of National Public Radio's "Car Talk" fame, have broken down their top, most hated models for mechanics (as well as a few manufacturers notoriously loved by car fixers). Their full list is included after the jump, though before you take a look, see if you can guess the top two manufacturers overwhelmingly represented on the list. Here's a hint: Despite some recent quality and safety issues experienced by one of the two rivals, they are likely exactly what you'd expect them to be. Honda Civic: Affordable, easy-to-source parts, and when it breaks it's rarely serious.
Honda Accord: Ditto.
Toyota Camry: The one-time reliability leader has some more competition, but it's still a winner.
Toyota Corolla: All this car needs is an occasional brake job and regular maintenance.
Toyota Prius: Only dealers can make money off the expensive hybrid powertrain parts, something that will change eventually, though the Prius doesn't give them the opportunity too often; even the brakes last longer thanks to regenerative braking.
Ford Fusion/Ford Fusion Hybrid: According to Click and Clack, the two American models that compete on the same reliability playing field as the Japanese models.
Toyota Sienna/Honda Odyssey: Bigger vehicles with more moving parts means more service -- true for these minivans compared with the rest of the list, sure, but as far as family-haulers go, these are two of the best.
Honda CR-V: Despite some minor chattering in the final drive of AWD, as reliable as the other Hondas on this list.
Honda Element: Speaking of other Hondas, the Element shares the CR-V's drivetrain -- meaning few issues.
