The upcoming 2025 Mazda CX-50 will offer a few hybrid trim levels & will be using the proven Toyota hybrid system & Toyota's 2.5L direct+port injection engine. Other Mazda hybrids will be following in 2026+. My 2022 Mazda CX-30 CE has been a 100% problem-free experience thus far after 2.5 years in.

    That Trax is very enticing, but beware that 1.2L 3cyl. turbo engine. It's made by GM Korea (Daewoo), which has a horrible reliability track record with turbochargers. They're very expensive to replace. It's also got 2 timing belts that require partial engine disassembly to change them. It's going to be a very expensive point of maintenance at the 150k mile recommendation. I foresee Trax owners ditching their cars at that point if it's too costly. No one's going to dump thousands into a repair on their Chevy that is high-ish mileage with not much resale value.

    I disagree with the Ford and GM vehicles you listed. I have had trouble with two Fords, and will never buy one again. Also the large GM SUV's aren't know for their reliability. Yes they can last a long time if you put a lot of money into them. The Trax is new, but I doubt the reliability will be great. Many BMW and Porsche vehicles have good reliability, but maintenance costs will put you in the poor house. Audis are kind of hit and miss, depending on the model, but like the aforementioned German makes will be costly to maintain. All VW's lately have had very bad to horrible reliability lately including the GTI. Decades ago I bought a new Mercedes S-Class. It was solid as a bank vault and I never really had any problems with it. The recent Benz models are just rated horrible for reliability. It's sad that a once great make has sunk so low. Currently I own a 2019 Subaru Forester I bought new. The only problem I've had with it has been the battery drain. There was a class-action suit for this. I just replaced my second one, a Diehard Platinum battery with a Odyssey. Hopefully this one will last. When I put the meter on it the new Odyssey it showed 1100 cca. The old Diehard had 40, and it wasn't that old. I could have got a free battery from Subaru because of the lawsuit resolution, but I'm tired of having to use a jump starter each time to start it after the battery aged a little or leave it constantly on the charger.

    At the very least: Don't buy anything with a turbocharged engine. And don't buy anything with a CVT transmission. If you're too ignorant to comprehend what's wrong with these, then go back to your father's service intervals -- change the oil every 3,000 miles, and change the transmission fluid every 10,000 miles. And then you MIGHT make it to 100,000 miles with one of these turkeys. If you just don't give a crap about vehicle longevity, then LEASE IT, drive it like crap and service it like crap, then wad it up and throw it away before it becomes a reliability nightmare. And there's your reason for not buying a used vehicle, too.

    If you want to keep a car for a long time, rust becomes an issue. Therefor we don´t by Japanese cars in Europe to a great extend. They simply don´t prioritise protection, and it goes for all Japanese Brands incl. the Koreans.
    Audi is by a solid margin the car brand, that has the longest life in Europe. Somewhat surprisingly Renault comes pretty close as well as BMW. This is why you´ll se fewer old japanese cars on the road, they simply disintegrates with Mazda as the worst.
    In my country the most apraised car brand for 13 years in a row is BMW with Toyota second, MB third and Volvo fourth.
    And it should be considered, that i.e. Toyota almost only sells very simple A and B segment cars here in Denmark.
    Only very few Corollas and CRV´s as well as very few RAV4´s.
    Toyotas market share is mainly Aygo X, Yaris and Yaris Cross, and they sell really well, especially after VW discontinued their micro car VW UP a year ago. Honda manages to sell around 70.000 cars in Europe pr. year, where Toyota gets a respectable one million cars on the road, but no Avalons, no Avensis, no 4 runners, no Siennas, no Highlanders, no Sequoias hardly any Lexus cars as well as Honda´s Acura´s.
    More than 90% of Toyota´s sold here, are Hybrids where possible. The Aygo X is a non hybrid topseller for Toyota as the only one. The rest is hybrids almost all over.
    Here Toyota´s mostly are considered underpowered cars for old people, mostly they are driven carefully and that might be the best to do, that is not the case with the Germans. You´ll need to experience a day or two on the German autobahn, being overtaken by Audi´s, BMW´s, MB´s, Porsche´s riding double the speed of your Toyota speed, and with prolonged service intervals. European cars needs oil change after ~ 40-60K KM´s, where Toyota´s claim 15K KM´s. Still there is no statisticly proven relaiabillity superiority in favour of japanese cars in Europe. Once Toyota were superior in reliabillity by simplicity, but that was many years ago.
    The only thing I can think of, if it is really true, that European cars fail more in th US of A than in Europe, is incompetent mechanics.
    European cars have to meet very strict emission regulations, and soon Euro 7 will be a reality, where manufacturers have to meet even strickter emissions, that have to be complied to even after 10 years of use. That makes the engines a lot more complicated with sensors and servo`s all arround, and thus very expensive to develop. When Toyota´s are to meet the excact same regulations, they fail as much as everyone else but, they do tend to clear things out, and that is what I think is very good with Toyota. They normally clean up their mess.

    Not trying to start a war but just sharing my experience. I bought a new 2020 Honda civic sport hatch and it was an absolute nightmare. So many small things went wrong in the 2 years I had it. I had always wanted a Jeep and ended up trading the civic for a used 2017 wrangler Willy’s 2 door. I now have had the Jeep for 3 years and I have less in repair and maintenance cost with the Jeep. Plus, the Jeep puts a smile on my face. Just drive what you enjoy, it’s all junk 😂

    These days, Mazda is every bit as reliable as Toyota or Honda, & with better driving dynamics & better styling. This isn't 1995 any more. The Toyota/Honda of today isn't what it used to be (same with Lexus/Acura). Stupid amounts of tech-bloat & rampant cost cutting to increase profit margins has taken its toll across the board.

Is it owning a reliable one just a big hype because owners get tired of driving the same model year after year after year? Hmmmm... I have a 25 year old BMW E36 M3. Bought it brand spankin new then. A collector one that people have a second look when they see me driving it. It’s. reliable! No issues! How? Maintenance, maintenance, maintenance!
    Now, I have a Mercedes-Benz 6 months old already with 13000 miles. No issues! They say these prestige cars are down the drain in reliability. Well, so far it’s a phenomenal vehicle. Already had 3 x oil changes. Will see how this babe pan out in 10 yrs with maintenance maintenance maintenance.
