I have been a lemon law attorney for 21 years, representing both car companies and consumers. Toyota, Lexus and Mazda have been the standard for a long time. Toyota and Lexus have had some big issues with engines and braking in 22 and 23 models, so it will be interesting to see if this impacts their reliability rankings going forward.

They had some CVT Trans issues for a few years and some major issues with their 1.5Turbo engine (fuel was getting past the rings into the engine oil).
