Buick made it to number six because they sell like 10 cars a year and the people that buy them just go to the grocery store and doctors appointments. 🤣😂
Mazda started selling cars in USA way before Hyundai and Kia. Decades later, Hyundai and Kia, both, sell more than twice the volume of Mazda. Consumer Reports is a joke. Survey is not scientific!
Because the generation before that, all of their cars felt like Ford junk. The only saving grace was the fact they held up a better than their Ford equivalents.
@@MMOchAForPrezLol B2000 was a Ford and they are reliable as fuck Ranger or B2000 they are the same exact vehicle. In this era of cars you are dead wrong Ford being a piece of shit maybe their shit econoboxes but trucks and what they are mainly known for these years are fantastic but if you bought an Italian ford focus then that was your fault
They’ve improved in every way. Better design, performance, comfort and reliability across the board ever since they got away from Ford. Who’d have thought? (Pretty much everyone tbh)
Its more brand but maintenance and driving history is a big thing as well. Like a bmw that was babied and maintained well will still never be as reliable as a similarly taken care of toyota camry.
Man I bought a CPO Manual Corolla. Looks clean on the outside, but the side view mirror was busted and I can’t control it electronically, the clutch slips super bad, the battery went bad 3 months in (normal consumable, car was already 3 years old), and has weird rumbles when going 80+. One day I’ll be able to afford a new car lol.
I think Mazda is being smart to advertise/incentivize their vehicles. They're still trying to shed their bad reputation from the Ford ownership era. The more cars they get in the hands of consumers the better, so they can change the perception of the crappy cheap econobox. I dont think they'll ever reach the heights of Toyota in the minds of regular consumers, but I can see them overtaking Honda.
Mazda has completely changed my mind compared to Honda! I absolutely love my certified 2019 Mazda 3 Premium. Back in 2022, when I was car shopping, I looked at almost everything-Toyota, Honda, Nissan, Chevy, Kia, Jeep, Ford, Buick, Infiniti, Hyundai, and Subaru. It wasn’t until I drove past a Mazda dealership that I even remembered they existed tbh. I almost gave up and resorted to getting a Honda Civic or Accord because I wanted something reliable and wasn't a big fan of Toyota’s designs. But honestly Mazda blew me away. Their car designs, both inside and out, are stunning. The colors, especially their Soul Red Crystal Metallic are gorgeous. The attention to detail and the quality of materials they use are top-notch for what they are. I found myself actually excited to make such a big purchase because I felt like I was getting something that suited my every need and was still (somewhat) affordable. I’m incredibly picky when it comes to cars. Reliability is the most important factor, I have to love the front and rear exterior design, and full LED headlights and taillights are a must. The interior has to be perfect, the sound system needs to impress me, and even the steering wheel has to meet my “very specific” standards: it can't be too big or too small, must be fully leather (no perforations or Alcantara), the buttons need to be well-placed and not look cheap, and the airbag housing has to have an aesthetically pleasing shape. Mazda checked every box….and then some! Their base 2.5L engine is a blast to drive, especially in a smaller car like the 3, and they even offer a 2.5L turbo with AWD! The fact that they use 2.5L engines and don’t rely on CVT transmissions, unlike many other brands that pair 1.4L-2.0L turbos with a CVT, is a huge win in my book. I’m a Mazda fan for life now and I’m rooting for them to outgrow Honda!
Such a good idea: This is what gave Kia/Hyundai/Genesis their place in the market. Yes, we can say what we want about them from a reliability, looks, insurance standpoint, but they gave people who did not want to play the Honda/Toyota game an option. They've always had a econoboxes for cheaper than competitor prices, but they can go pound for pound with any manufacturer in any category, at least up front. Economy: Venue, Elantra. Hybrids: Elantra, Tucson, Santa Fe. Performance: Elantra N. EV: Kona, IONIQ 5. Genesis for luxury. There's a reason they are the 3rd largest group behind Toyota & the much larger Volkswagen. They laid their building blocks +10 years ago with the whole 100k/10 year warranty.
Very clear Tier 1 (Lexus, Toyota), very clear Tier 2 (Mazda, Acura, and Honda), and then everyone else. Honestly, not surprising at all including Mazda - We have a 2016 Mazda CX-9 and a 2016 Mazda 3. Both have been rock solid).
Kind of glad I ignored literally everybody telling me to get a cheap hyundai or kia... I went with Mazda. Simply because I didn't want a CVT transmission, which was standard on the other "affordable brands (not including Lexus)
@seikocitizenwatches I don't think they will be joining the horsepower wars anytime soon like the Germans, but they have a peppy sedan in the Mazda 3 turbo :)
I have a 15 year old BMW with 161k miles that I've driven for the past 13 years and it still runs great (2 years old when purchased). I've had to do some maintenance on it, but nothing major and I DIY. I'll probably drive it another 5 years and get another 2-3 year old bmw and drive it another 15 years. Rinse and repeat.
Just remember that their members are willing to pay an annual fee for access to more information, and this skews the results. I also look at the Carsthatlast videos for older vehicles that tend to be reliable.
Real world reliability is measured with warranty length. It tells how long the vehicle is guaranteed to last. Therefore, Hyundai-Kia's legendary 10-year 100,000-mile warranty wins! Nobody is close. 5-year 60,000-mile warranty is a disgrace!
Most vs least reliable, “we don’t know how they weighted them.” I like the JD Power methodology, drawn from VERIFIED owners. (Did I mention verified ?) I am struck by the fact that a Lexus (the reliability leader) is likely to have 1.35 issues in its third year. A “basement dweller” like a Volkswagen, Audi, or Volvo is likely to have about 2.5 issues, roughly one more issue than a Lexus. Big deal. Or is there a lapse in my logic?
@@billurban1581Reliability is not as important as it used to be. There are tons of computers checking for malfunction so not much chance of being stranded. What's selling is looks, value, technology.

This is based on up to 2019. The Toyota models with issues (like the turbo V6 in the Tundra) are after 2019. If I were looking for certain models of Toyota, like the Tundra, I’d definitely be looker for older.
Since mazda left ford and have join with toyota they have made their vehicles more reliable and attractive..using some of toyota's platform..i think both companies are a perfect balance for each other and will benefit greatly feom each other ..mazda will be more reliable and put out more luxury vehilces and havin access to mazda's skyactive technology will create some serious offspring from that..good for both companies.
With used cars have to look at the owners/drivers almost as much as the car itself. Probably why Lincoln and Buick outpace their parent companies: the demo are softer on the pedal inputs and more likely to get regular service at the dealership.
Not surprised about Teslas. I read a story on Model S suspension failing due to bad components. It was a few % of the vehicles and they were trying to blame it on user error.
Never been a fan of CR's data pool. The only people who are surveyed are people who not only financially subscribe to CR, but also subscribe to CR's opinions on car reliability. CR frequently gives out "Predicted Reliability scores". Can a data pool be more tainted?

Recently traded in my Impala for a Camry because I gravitate towards low drama.

The GM thing doesn't actually surprise me at all. If you look at the shared platforms and the brand goals, it can make sense. GMC makes work vehicles that live hard lives, which can reduce reliability. Chevrolet mostly makes affordable commuter cars, with a few higher end cars mixed in, but it's not meant to be a top tier brand. Cadillac shares platforms with Chevrolet, but mostly the higher end platforms. Then you have Lincoln, which is mostly the top tier cars. Sliding scale of price correlates with sliding scale of quality and reliability. Also, the more luxury oriented cars are more likely to live easier lives than the more work oriented ones, and those easier lives can lead to greater reliability.
Consumer Reports only uses customer opinions, not real word data from manufacturers. Most of the cars they recommend in 5 years have the same amount of repairs as the adverage car. Did you ever wonder why Consumers Reports uses term like Predicted Reliability, and Predicted Owners Satifaction ? Predictions are not based facts.
Morning Kirk, you look tired😅😅😅usually for your topic, Toyota and Honda should always be the answer......but I can't believe BMW could be top 10.....they used to dead under 100k miles😂😂
What about the Honda's with oil dilution? Blown head gaskets? Blown turbos? Blown transmission s? Honda is not always the answer. Not even a Toyota. They have had their share of engine problems, paint, and rust problems. Shop by vehicle. Almost every brand has a reliable vehicle in its line-up. Shop vehicles that have a history with a specific model. Like 3-5 years on the same platform. And so on. Everyone needs to stop with the Toyota/Honda are always good. It just isn't true. And with every passing year, less so. 100k Tundras are getting new engines and have you seen that turbochargers for these things are over $4000 each! Good luck with that sht at 100k miles.
@@johneddys2351get over Ur self,BMW is recalling 700+ thousand for fire ect..Toyota is number one,for taking a problem and fix and master it,not like others
I have 161k miles on my 2009 BMW 335d and it runs as good as new. No major issues just small stuff like a wheel bearing, thermostat, water pump, belts, brakes, and oil changes. It's 15 years old and I plan on driving it at least another 5 years.
@@dorron2595you still living in the past. BMW has been reliable for over 6 years, you just heard stories from people that never maintained their vehicles. Don’t drive your car 20,000 miles with no oil change not rotating tires while driving 65 mph in a 25 mph zone. Why did Toyota use bmws engine along with some tech? You non car guys are laughable.
Sounds like Toyota dealers are going to raise their prices again. They'll see this report and call its the reliability tax. +10,000 all cars, +20,000 all trucks +25,000 all suvs +50,000 all hybrids.
Study - you have to remember these are 2014 to 2019 so that is 5 to 10 year old cars - so that is "looking back in time" and if you look to JD Power when those cars came out - I bet it aligns with this list pretty well - and I say that because JD Power says their 90-day and 3-year study does correlates well to the longer term experience.
Anyone have any knowledge of LT reliability of Genesis GV70? I have an ‘05 MDX that has been bullet proof (250k) that I want to replace and considering the GV70 but have heard up and down comments from various sources. This would be the family road trip car so NOT getting stranded out of town is important.
If your MDX has been bulletproof, why are you considering replacing it? I know the odometer reading is high, but if that’s mostly highway driving, and maintenance has been done meticulously, then it may still have a long life. Not sure where you live, but if they salt the roads, the rust issues may be a concern.
It unfortunate that CR is the only measure of car reliability. I was a long time subscriber. I once owned a Mazda 2 door that was mechanically identical to a 4 door model and the 2 door was rated as unreliable while the 4 door was OK. I have owned a VW for 4 years and it has been trouble free. CR once said that they rolled how easy it was to use the infortainment system into the reliability rating. So how many other subjective judgments and opinions are they rolling into the reliability. They hide their criteria for a reason. I don't believe them anymore.
I mean Toyota/Lexus shouldn’t come as a surprise tbh. Toyota/Lexus are like the textbook definitions of reliability. No question. There’s a reason why my family has owned several RAV4s over our leases.
This list is useless for new vehicles. Toyota used to be the most reliable, but in the past several years the top Japanese manufacturers like Toyota and Honda have taken big nose dive. Hard for me to admit but new Korean cars seem to be less problematic at this point.
BMW ON TOP, HILARIOUS, 😂😂😂😂😂. In Europe Bmw has a lot of issues regarding reliability at the moment as well as less build quality with every new generation..... last week Motortrend published an article about the most reliable cars... first 7....all Toyota, than a Lexus, a Honda and a Chevrolet.....
What happened to Mini? Weren't they just below Lexus and Toyota last year? Lol! Consumer Reports ratings should be taken with a grain of salt. I haven't agreed with what they have to say for a couple of decades now. BTW, That voice... Working with Hyundai must be really taking a toll on you lol! 😉
@@sammyjammy6647 When I got it the previous owner said his oil would suddenly disappear between oil changes. He bought the same new model again thinking it was normal for oil to disappear haha. I told him to change his oil more often, pack some oil in the trunk and check the level at the gas station. This common Subaru problem has a lawsuit.
Here is my opinion on Toyota: They build the best engines and transmissions in the business. True. But if you took the engine and transmissions out of all of the cars on this list and judged them on what was left? Wow. I think Toyota would rank really low.

GMC makes work vehicles that live hard lives, which can reduce reliability. Chevrolet mostly makes affordable commuter cars, with a few higher end cars mixed in, but it's not meant to be a top tier brand. Cadillac shares platforms with Chevrolet, but mostly the higher end platforms. Then you have Lincoln, which is mostly the top tier cars. Sliding scale of price correlates with sliding scale of quality and reliability. Also, the more luxury oriented cars are more likely to live easier lives than the more work oriented ones, and those easier lives can lead to greater reliability.
Consumer Reports only uses customer opinions, not real word data from manufacturers. Most of the cars they recommend in 5 years have the same amount of repairs as the adverage car. Did you ever wonder why Consumers Reports uses term like Predicted Reliability, and Predicted Owners Satifaction ? Predictions are not based facts.
Morning Kirk, you look tired😅😅😅usually for your topic, Toyota and Honda should always be the answer......but I can't believe BMW could be top 10.....they used to dead under 100k miles😂😂
What about the Honda's with oil dilution? Blown head gaskets? Blown turbos? Blown transmission s? Honda is not always the answer. Not even a Toyota. They have had their share of engine problems, paint, and rust problems. Shop by vehicle. Almost every brand has a reliable vehicle in its line-up. Shop vehicles that have a history with a specific model. Like 3-5 years on the same platform. And so on. Everyone needs to stop with the Toyota/Honda are always good. It just isn't true. And with every passing year, less so. 100k Tundras are getting new engines and have you seen that turbochargers for these things are over $4000 each! Good luck with that sht at 100k miles.
@@johneddys2351get over Ur self,BMW is recalling 700+ thousand for fire ect..Toyota is number one,for taking a problem and fix and master it,not like others
I have 161k miles on my 2009 BMW 335d and it runs as good as new. No major issues just small stuff like a wheel bearing, thermostat, water pump, belts, brakes, and oil changes. It's 15 years old and I plan on driving it at least another 5 years.
@@johneddys2351still better than the competition
@@dorron2595you still living in the past. BMW has been reliable for over 6 years, you just heard stories from people that never maintained their vehicles. Don’t drive your car 20,000 miles with no oil change not rotating tires while driving 65 mph in a 25 mph zone. Why did Toyota use bmws engine along with some tech? You non car guys are laughable.
when is the 2025 RAV4 coming out
Zara also wanted to say hi 😊
i guess mazda is number 1 now then.
Curious to see where Genesis would land. Genesis generally does well on these type of rankings.
Be thankful to Toyota for their service to humanity.
Lol, not anymore.
i thank toyota for capping max speed to 85 mph
Toyota Supremacy😁
Sounds like Toyota dealers are going to raise their prices again. They'll see this report and call its the reliability tax.
+10,000 all cars,
+20,000 all trucks
+25,000 all suvs
+50,000 all hybrids.
I wish Subaru was a little higher on the list, but they still seem pretty solid.
There's a great book called commander in cheat, about and Howie cheats.
Study - you have to remember these are 2014 to 2019 so that is 5 to 10 year old cars - so that is "looking back in time" and if you look to JD Power when those cars came out - I bet it aligns with this list pretty well - and I say that because JD Power says their 90-day and 3-year study does correlates well to the longer term experience.
OMG Kirk has a doppelganger.
Anyone have any knowledge of LT reliability of Genesis GV70? I have an ‘05 MDX that has been bullet proof (250k) that I want to replace and considering the GV70 but have heard up and down comments from various sources. This would be the family road trip car so NOT getting stranded out of town is important.
If your MDX has been bulletproof, why are you considering replacing it? I know the odometer reading is high, but if that’s mostly highway driving, and maintenance has been done meticulously, then it may still have a long life. Not sure where you live, but if they salt the roads, the rust issues may be a concern.
It unfortunate that CR is the only measure of car reliability. I was a long time subscriber. I once owned a Mazda 2 door that was mechanically identical to a 4 door model and the 2 door was rated as unreliable while the 4 door was OK. I have owned a VW for 4 years and it has been trouble free. CR once said that they rolled how easy it was to use the infortainment system into the reliability rating. So how many other subjective judgments and opinions are they rolling into the reliability. They hide their criteria for a reason. I don't believe them anymore.
Why are brands like JLR, Maserati, and Alpha Romeo excluded?
And Mitsubishi is excluded as well
I have a 2021 4Runner. Its an old, slow, antique. MPG Sucks, interior from 2010. As much as id like something modern, I just cant do it.
Thank you for the video!
I mean Toyota/Lexus shouldn’t come as a surprise tbh. Toyota/Lexus are like the textbook definitions of reliability. No question. There’s a reason why my family has owned several RAV4s over our leases.
So does this mean the whole Honda oil dilution thing is blown out of proportion? I was expecting Honda to be lower in this list because of that
PBS, Consumer Reports people love Honda.
Buick suprises me always compared to other brands that are american
I’ve never had a problem with my 2 year old model 3
This list is useless for new vehicles. Toyota used to be the most reliable, but in the past several years the top Japanese manufacturers like Toyota and Honda have taken big nose dive. Hard for me to admit but new Korean cars seem to be less problematic at this point.
Ok. I’m not ok with this new voice. Kirk brings great info with a great voice, bright eyes, and he’s adorable. This doesn’t work for me lmao.
Oh wow. Look at Nissan in the top 10. despite practically ruining themselves with jatco transmissions.
theyve made changes lately
I stopped trusting CR a LONG time ago.
Do you mean because they got caught faking defamatory data on the Suzuki Samurai and the Isuzu Trooper?
It's only because they faked some tests results that Suzuki is not on the NA market while the rest of the world enjoys their big quality/price ratio.
I like Mazda, but no dealership near me
BMW ON TOP, HILARIOUS, 😂😂😂😂😂. In Europe Bmw has a lot of issues regarding reliability at the moment as well as less build quality with every new generation..... last week Motortrend published an article about the most reliable cars... first 7....all Toyota, than a Lexus, a Honda and a Chevrolet.....
Honda can be better but they are not giving everything they can
Balls finally dropped? Congrats!
KIA is not a surprise
I don’t get how they don’t have the 200 series Land Cruiser on the list
Most reliable new cars make the most reliable used cars; however, only if maintained properly.
Nice voice
What happened to Mini? Weren't they just below Lexus and Toyota last year? Lol!
Consumer Reports ratings should be taken with a grain of salt. I haven't agreed with what they have to say for a couple of decades now.
BTW, That voice... Working with Hyundai must be really taking a toll on you lol! 😉
What a voice drop! Got me jealous here 😅😂
hay japan thx for making our life easy
I have a used Subaru now . AC problems and oil problems.
Sounds like you didn’t keep up on oil changes, or the owner before didn’t. That’s why I buy new, because I know the whole history of the car.
@@sammyjammy6647 When I got it the previous owner said his oil would suddenly disappear between oil changes. He bought the same new model again thinking it was normal for oil to disappear haha. I told him to change his oil more often, pack some oil in the trunk and check the level at the gas station. This common Subaru problem has a lawsuit.
Lol sounds like a backup singer with the Temptations. He used Ai
Here is my opinion on Toyota: They build the best engines and transmissions in the business. True. But if you took the engine and transmissions out of all of the cars on this list and judged them on what was left? Wow. I think Toyota would rank really low.
Acura ILX. Wry good 500k mile car
What a soothing voice lol
consumer report?
I do think toyota and lexus are probably the most reliable but I also think there is a favorable bias because of their reputation.
