Mazda is the Japanese company that has made the biggest jump in the last decade. They are now better than Toyota/Lexus.


I tend to trust your insight on cars. What makes you say this?

Well, you shouldn't trust everything I type! I meant to type Honda which is the company Mazda has jumped in reliability.

Two other things stick out in the by manufacturer reliability in the last couple of years, BMW has jumped up into Japanese car range, quote from Consumer Reports:

Toyota, Lexus, and BMW are the top three most reliable brands in our annual auto reliability brand rankings, with the German automaker jumping up 10 spots from last year to join the two reliability stalwarts on the podium.

The saddest trend is Mercedes is down in the basement with Jeep, VW and GMC. Some of us are old enough to remember when Mercedes built to a standard, not to a price point.



* IMO Consumer Reports is the best source for the least biased reliability information along with following a brand or model dedicated forum. The latter takes much more time and isn't for everyone and I have had lots of heartburn as a result of seeing someone with an engine in pieces when I own that car.
