      Ever since the 40th President of the USA (43 and 45 as well) cut the Capital Gains Tax, profit growth at nearly any cost is how the publicly traded members of the Fortune 500 do business. That's because Mary Barra, the Board and other CEO's don't earn that much in a salary, their compensation has to do with stock prices...

      @japanwatchconnection, if you're looking for a Honda car, I would suggest sticking with the 2.0-liter Honda engine, either naturally aspirated or at least multi-port fuel injected with turbo. In my opinion, their 1.5-liter turbocharged engine is not very good and was probably designed just for C.A.F.E. ratings. However, you can take your chances if you like. If you're interested, I recommend watching videos by Scotty Kilmer or The Car Care Nut discussing that engine in Honda vehicles before making a decision.
      Regarding the other three brands, I think they should be hybrids, such as Toyota, Lexus, and Mazda hybrids."

      Some of CR’s ratings are subjective like comfort and road feel. But their reliability data is based on owner surveys. Still, even though a car brand may not be very reliable, people could still like it for other reasons that outweigh reliability. Look at Jeep for instance, lots of people love those despite relatively low reliability.

      Those are the ones with the lithium battery inside the passenger compartment. Those videos of vehicles exploding were Jeep 4xes. The videos circulated for a year before going viral and the next day Jeep recalled them claiming it was due to a routine analysis.
      How could they fix a problem like that? Seal off the compartment and put in a snorkel? It's supposed to be off roadable so they might have done that to keep water out of the battery. Not good if you don't want dead occupants. Incredible that the regulators let them get away with this. The new Boeing.

    How long has Rivian been making vehicles for it to have reliability ratings? If you look at Rivian’s vehicles and build quality compared to other OEMs, I’d say they are pretty good. Since I’ve had my Rivian R1S, I’ve only had the door handle fixed because it would retract uncommanded and it was a software issue. Other than that, it’s driving pretty well.

      Wasn't this list based off of NHTSA service and recall data and customer surveys. Everybody knows Toyota makes the most conservative and reliable cars. It's been like that for at least 40 years and the gap is just getting bigger.
      Nissan fell off the map in the early nineties and Honda has started doing poorly just recently. The only anomaly is Porsche. But the Americans are so bad now they can't scrape by making anything at all economical and the Germans were government funded and running off the backs of other European nations (for cheap parts and modules) and ultra cheap Russian energy. Now that's all gone and they're failing at EVs more then anybody. Too complicated. Too tightly packaged. Parts too expensive. Too much labour to repair.

      German car without any reliability at all.

    My 2015 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon Unlimited has 123K and has been very reliable. Other than a recent thermostat replacement, I’ve only replaced tires, the battery, and brakes. Guess I don’t beat mine up like most do.

      one has to wonder if that is why jeep is so low on reliability...although, it seems to me that wrangler owners are the ones beating them up, and those things are actually pretty good, it's their other models that are trash

    CR is completely bought off if they accuse Rivian of being one of the worst brands. They have one of the best customer satisfaction rates. I've never had a better or more capable car.

      I own one and it's great. A lot of the rating for that comes from service delays and charging. Again the specific rating that CS used isn't available so who knows? Why has cars that have the worst consumer ownership rating got high

      Just because a *brand* has bad reliability, doesn’t mean that *every* car they make breaks down. It only means there’s a *higher chance* it’ll break down.

      @@Sashazur People seem to think 1 user experience defines the entire brand, LOL. For some reason, people just don't understand this concept. They put more weight into a one off experience then industry wide or product wide information.
