Toyota knew what they were doing with the 4Runner, they didn’t put high tech fancy bells and whistles just to sell. They kept in what worked and fixed the issues with the SUV and still in production for 15 years. For the ones who have a 5th generation 4Runner 20 years from now you know parts will be readily available just how many 4Runners are on the road today.

I owned a 2008 Kia Sorento for 11 years and not one thing went wrong with it. I took it into the Dealer twice. Once for a factory recall on a tail light relay and the second time to trade it in on a 2019 model. It still drove like new, with zero creaks or rattles (which I can’t stand) and it still looked great. Pretty amazing, because where I live, the rough roads and freezing cold winters that can hit minus 40° and lower are very hard on vehicles. But, I do take very good care of my vehicles, so it sold the first day on the dealer’s used car lot. Thus far, my new Kia Sorento is just as reliable and free of squeaks and rattles. It is the top model, so I expect to enjoy the long, long list of every convenience and comfort feature you could expect in its price range, for years to come.

Hi! I have been driving my BMW X3, 3 liter turbo diesel 6 in lne since 2007 over Western Europe with no major problem at all: one broken spring, windshield washer reservoir pump and that's all. It receives a maintenance check up every 2 years only. Am I lucky? Maybe! When In Africa, I share a Toyota Land Cruiser with colleagues. It is driven over dusty and muddy dirt tracks for years with minimal maintenance and has never let us down on the side of the track. I am very thankful to Toyota for building those vehicles.

TOYOTA Rav4 - Year 2016: Bought used from Toyota dealer in 2022, Problem with air recirculation switch on dashboard after 2 years of ownership.. Not a big issue, only needed when outside pollution excessive. Took to Toyota dealer and fixed under 10 year warranty - No charge. No excuses. Job done. I would recommend a Rav4 for reliability and Toyota for service.

I see at least 3 vehicles that the Mazda CX 5 probably should have knocked off the list. I've got 140k miles on mine, and it still surprises me how quiet it idles the first 1000 miles after an oil change.

Because JD Power has just an Initial Customer Satisfaction survey (renamed Dependability ....), not a real Reliability survey, with over 300'000 car owners over more than a 5 years period like Consumer Reports etc. The faulty part of the CR is the so-called 'predicted reliability' - an oxymoron - or the manipulation of using only a car model or two to define one brand's reliability. Thus you get the unworthy Bring My Wallet and it's son Mini in Top 10, just like it happened in the past with Kia, Hyundai, Audi, Buick, Infinity, RAM, Dodge etc. However, the rolling average is mostly the same, taking out such 'accidents' and showing the true leaders of reliability: Lexus, Toyota, Mazda, Subaru, Acura, Honda etc. But when choosing a car one should look at the particular models in the segment he wants to get in, not at the overall brand reliability. Otherwise I would not have a Suzuki Jimny (#1 small offroader) beside a Lexus UX and a Miata ND2 RF (amazing cars, leaders in their segments both in reliability and low TCO = Total Cost of Ownership).

JD Power is worthless. It is an advertising agency. If you don't spend money with them, they won't "review" your product. Look at the track record of some cars they reccomend. Refer to the consumer magazine on line.

MY JEEP CHEROKEE IS 7 YEARS OLD AND EVERYTHING ABOUT IT WORKS GREAT. NEVER ANY TROUBLE. KNOCK ON WOOD.

Anything on SKODA?

I have a 2008 Gen II Prius. I love it. It gets 47mpg running around town and gets 44mpg on long interstate trips. It has 235,000 miles on it right now. I did spend $1700 to have the hybrid battery replaced at 230,000 miles. But, that and a wheel bearing are really the only thing that I've had to do. I change the oil regularly at 5,000 mile and it just keeps going. I'm not the original owner, but I know the original owner for 30 years. This is my first Toyota, my next car will be a Toyota. I'm actually looking at the Corilla Cross hybrid. Has anyone here owned one? Feedback would be appreciated.

Where is my Mazda CX 30 love that car brought it from your recommendation fortunately I bought it brand new before the the deactivation crap came out the following year.

I just bought a CX-30 carbon edition in November. It seems like a good quality car but I didn’t realize it had cylinder deactivation before I bought it. It kinda makes me think I should have gotten a Crosstrek instead but then again I hate CVTs and would be losing 40 horsepower unless I paid more for the bigger engine. I guess I’ll just cross my fingers and hope the Mazda holds up otherwise I’ll be trading for Subaru or Toyota.

Somehow in all my research as I was cross shopping the Corolla Cross, CrossTrek, Rav4, Chevy Trax and Equinox I missed that the CX-30 had it. They did a good job of not advertising and making it known. Oh well at least I didn’t go with a Chevy even with the GM family and friends discount I think the Mazda was still a better deal.

Roger that. That's how vehicles with CVTs made the list. Nothing more riable at this time than an automatic transmission that has years behind it and is built in Japan.

surprised to see that there aren't any mazda's in this list. The skyactiv technology has been very reliable in non turbo engines. My 2013 mazda has 172k on it and it still running strong. The actual engine is kinda the same engine

Thank you for this video. I am going to buy the Honda- CRV instead of the Nissan Rouge. Take care.

Bop till it drops

I bought a 2018 Camry Hybrid LE. Six years and 180,500 kilometres later, the average fuel economy was 4.7 litres per hundred kilometres. I needed a "steering box", so the dealer said at a cost of $1,000 plus, so I took it in to my VERY trusted mechanic. He asked me what was wrong with it and I said, "Drive it into the bay and you'll find out". He did (VERY hard to steer) and after diagnosing, he said that Toyota was right - it needed a steering box. After learning of the cost, he said, "You wait right there and give me 10 minutes". He came back 30 minutes later and said that I was ready to go. He said that he took the plate off the steering box and emptied a can of WD-40 (not exactly sure if that's what it was, but some lube) and it worked like new. $110 later I was on the road. I went right back to Toyota and told them I'd NEVER be back. When I told him the story, he said that they don't have the time for that. I think the correct answer would have been that they don't have the intelligence for that. After six-plus years, I'd give the car a five-star rating, but the dealer a 1-star rating. Zero if I could!!!!!!! The only beef I have with the car is the seats. They are so incredibly stiff. WHY?? I had a Buick Electra (1972, I think) and it was like driving the car in your Lazy-Boy recliner!!! Why make seats so uncomfortable?? To keep the driver from falling asleep??

A good private mechanic is hard to find. I've been around for a long time, and I've only had two. Avoid dealer mechs except for warranty and recall work. We have a good Toyota dealer locally, the are honest....BUT WAY too expensive. Their sales dept is predatory.

With so many Toyotas on your list, I'm surprised you didn't mention the Toyota Avalon, which seems to have a good reputation for being reliable. My only negative with it is that it doesn't meet Toyota's gas mileage claim. I average 19.5 mpg on small town/highway driving.

My sister and brother in law have a '99 Camry that is still running nicely with 293K miles on the same engine. They paid only $5,000 for the car and have owned it for about 10 years.

My family owns both. A 2021 and a 2021. Great cars so far. Keep in mind that CVTs require more maintenance than conventional automatics if you want them to last. Even though Subaru says it's a lifetime fluid, almost all experts recommend draining and refilling the CVT every 30-35k. The dealers charge about $300 for this service.

Basic Corolla with delivery included is about $22,000. Hard to find a dealer that will sell you one at the price. Better to buy any car used. In five years, it will have a track record of reliability. We ended up with a 2018 Corolla with 55,000 one-owner miles (why would anyone sell this?), and good service history. Best time to buy any car is just before the end of any month, make and offer, and be willing to walk away.

Someday I would love to buy a Mazda cx3 or Mazda CX-5. I currently own a 2016 Mitsubishi outlander sport AWC and have not regretted it, but in a distant future a Mazda will be definitely considered given its price points. Reliability and being well. Accessorized

I find it interesting that the new 24's just came out and with no track record someone can choose the most reliable

2024 model cars were available to buy in the last quarter of 2023. They didn’t just become available in January. However, I do agree even if they have been driven for 6 months its not enough time to decide how reliable they are. All new cars shouldn’t give you any problems in the first year.

did you make a research on the toyota corolla???? just when did the crosstrek was introduced to the market???? did it came out many decades ago???
