Default Car servicability ratings?

Are there any websites or magazines that review vehicles for how
difficult or expensive they are to service? Long ago, Popular
Mechanics or Popular Science included that information in their car
reviews for items like brakes, oil change, belts, etc.

I don't know of any really good ones.

Popular Science and Popular Mechanics used to be helpful. Now both are
little more than buyers guides for the latest toys.

There are a number of sites that give some general information, but I don't
know that I trust any of them. Consumer Reports, IMHO, is pretty poor.

DIY TV has a pretty decent website for a lot of things, but statistical
analysis of the failures, etc, is probably not one of them.
