I have 3 Japanese cars in my driveway. One is a 1992 Honda Civic with 639,000 miles (~1 million kilometers). The other two are newer Hondas with near 300,000 miles. None of them are luxurious or beautiful (subjectively) but they're all reliable and efficient.

Well that's all I need, reliable not luxurious

[@User-cb4jm]

Best thing is that you can get a brand new Honda or Toyota with a high trim (or an Acura or Lexus) with all the features you desire and it will still be a reliable choice. You aren't forced to forgo luxurious interiors for Japanese reliability as people had to do in the past.

As a European I can say that most of South Europe don't want to buy a car from Volkswagen group, people tend to focus more on Toyota or other Asian automakers. It's more than a fact nowadays that German cars are not reliable as they used to be and of course a 5 year bmw cannot compete in price with a 5 year Toyota car... sure the future is going to be interesting and I'm going to watch to see what's coming!

@@christophernicolasviertel8967 Did you see Throttle car channel (two Canadian guys) reviewing the new S class? They pressed on the front/panel/dashboard and it was SQUEAKY, unlike how things were before. But they did say that this is probably because the car was assembled in Alabama, not in Germany. (Alabama is famous in the USA for killing Mercedes’ reliability fame.)

[@markusuebel2624]

i would say it depends. i have a case where a toyota manual transmission after around 280tkm failed but i now a few mercedes with more miles (or km in that case) and they work quite well still. also you have to take into acount the german brands quite often have significant more power and/or more fuel efficent. and the technology for that is often more prone to fail over time. so, it depends i would say.

Just a little suggestion, you should put your sources in the description. For one it makes you more trustworthy. And it also helps if people want to know more about the topic and read for themselves, so they already have a good starting point.

[@the45er]

Very interesting. My entire family (wife and three grown children) have driven Toyotas exclusively for many years with two notable exceptions. We've probably driven 25 toyotas among us WITHOUT A SINGLE ISSUE. I deviated with a 1999 Dodge Ram truck. BIG MISTAKE. My daughter-in-law wanted a Honda Pilot a few years ago. Not as big, but still a mistake because the engine will not run smoothly and the dealership can't isolate the problem. I will stick with Toyotas until someone shows me a better built, more reliable product. I haven't seen one in years.

I use to want a vehicle from gm, ford, or Chrysler but ford is plagued with bad transfer cases. They also have bad transmissions in their fusions, automatic fiestas, and their automatic focuses. They chose to use a clutch controlled by the ecu instead of a torque converter. Gm makes vehicles with the most cheapest and unreliable materials and dodge can’t make a transmission if their their life’s depended on it. I laid my eyes on the Toyota Tacoma and fell in love with it. Toyota vehicles never seem to die and Toyota actually listens to every customers requests. For example I wanted a truck that was compact, reliable, off-road, have outstanding towing capacity, and have a manual transmission like old trucks use to have and then bam. Toyota brought out the Tacoma TRD Pro.

[@dansallai]

Interesting topics covered in these videos indeed! There must have been a lot of effort going into the production, kudos for that! Improvement opportunity: the viewing/learning experience would be better and maybe the spread of the videos would be easier too if the voiceover was made by a speaker who is closer to native. I'm not native either but it makes understanding much harder to listen to non-native voice and a number of times i had to guess some words.

It's still aren't as reliable as toyota. I've research on volvo reliability and it said that volvo is average.

[@Zirkobi]

@@dxtnguyxn4179 then that research has shown the wrong results. What I see as being part of several Volvo forums is that the majority of their cars last well beyond 400.000 miles, without a spot of rust that isn't basic surface rust which really doesn't play any significant role. Their engines are bullet proof, especially their 5-cylinder engines, but even their old redblock engines are still seen on a frequent basis and those went out of production 23 years ago now. So while Toyota may be reliable, they really aren't so much in comparison to a Volvo. And they're not as safe or comfortable either.

Wanted to buy a Toyota, but ended up choosing VW instead (used car segment of 4-7-year-old cars). The ancient-looking display, scratchy plastic, which rumbles a bit when driving, slow to change gears CVT gearbox and relatively low power was that drove me away from them. Also sad, that it only takes 3-4 years for a new Toyota to catch rust in our climate even if it was maintained in a dealership... They're more reliable than VW, I don't doubt that, but when you can choose which one you like to be in more it definitely is not Toyota. Android Auto, soft materials, better styling, lovely DSG gearbox, hell, you can even get a digital display and of course a thicker coat of paint are great features, nice enough to convince me, especially since I don't plan to maintain the same car longer than 4 or 5 years.

[@DDxRaptor]

Well in this case, you are a prime targeted customer of the VW group. They're building cars to last for about 5-7 years so you have to buy the next one after that, just because your old one broke down. VW cars tend to last not as long because VW focuses on mass production, decreasing costs and increasing profits for the investors. A Toyota may not be top of the line when it comes to infotainment, but everything else will last so much longer. This is the reason an asian car won't cost you as much as a german car in the long run.

[@DDxRaptor]

@Yule Calma Well I have my reasons, I worked on those cars as such as others for some years, but it may vary in different places around the globe. In Germany, thats where I come from, VW has a certain reputation to fullfill the basic needs of most people, but mostly as vehicles that get you from point A to point B, though I can only talk about the things I witnessed.
