Had Scion tC (that's Toyota) 2.5L engine... have driven it like a hell, hard, fast... however, changed oil regularly... Made 300,000 miles with NO - ZERO.... absolutely NONE - ZERO issues
I still have my 09 baby blue Scion TC that has no tears or rips in the dash or cloth seats! The paint is still shiny on the entire car and has a little fading on the trunk and on top of the drive and passenger side view mirrors (which are painted plastic, i think)! It’s our current 3rd extra car parked outside with a car cover on it when it’s sitting and not driven (i drive it sometimes to keep it well lubed and moving). 😉
bro, just wondering, I have a 2010 tC, and engine is great... except it EATS motor oil like no tomorrow... heard its a common problem with this engine type, are u having similar issues?
@ I have an 09 TC w/ 189K mi on it. I have noticed over the last 10 yrs I had to add oil every once in a while. I’ve been using M1 full syth 20K oil for the last 10 yrs. It’s a 3rd car now mostly parked, and still trouble free. That 2.4L with that 4 speed auto in them may be why they went trough oil a lot because it’s always above 2k rpm’s. Maybe those w/ the 5 speed stick spin less rpm’s. RPM’s are a killer for many older cars that didn’t have 5 speed auto’s or 6 speed manuals. That’s my opinion anywho.
the tC had one famous failure on the trunk lid handle. Where the brake light was I saw many of these that had just fallen off. Poor glue or whatever. Looked very shody.
I have a Toyota Previa LE ‘93. It has 295K miles on its original engine and transmission. It still going strong without the need of extra oil in between oil changes. The best part is that fuel consumption remains the same at 22 mpg on the average using regular fuel. All I do is maintaining oil changes every 5,000 miles interval, vital fluids topped off or replaced and filter changes regularly, tire pressure and rotations on schedule. That’s it. I think this Toyota will easily give me many more miles of service based on its current performance.
having worked in a Mazda dealership we never had to strip an engine or head gasket issues and were the most reliable with no warranty work only service jobs were undertaken😊😊
As usual you idiots get paid by the foreign manufactures to put out this crap. I’ve owned and driven GM cars for over 60 years. My reliability having owned and driven their cars over a lifetime has been terrific. I’ve never had a problem, not a single one. My latest is a 2022 Chevy Blazer. I love it !
Twelve years after Toyota's founder, Kiichiro Toyoda, was born in 1894, Honda's founder, Soichiro Honda, was born in a mountain village in the same area, 20 miles away. Nineteen years before that, in 1887, Suzuki's founder, Michio Suzuki, was born in Hamamatsu, halfway between the two cities. In the same year when Suzuki was born, Torasuku Yamaha established Yamaha Musical Instruments nearby. Inspired by Honda's success, Yamaha began producing motorcycles in 1955.

I own a 2010 tundra and a 2012 rav4 with 2.5 motor, I also ha a 2021 ridgeline, with 3.6 motor. I have had a few issues over the years but solid vehicles. Also previously owned a handful of civics, if I was not an old geezer I would still buy civics. Just can't get in and out of them.
I've had no complaints with my 2021 Mazda CX-5 CE Turbo w/ AWD. There's no Engine Stop/Stop technology (i.e. iStop), no cylinder deactivation, and no CVT.
My family has been driving Toyota since 1976, many models included from sedans to trucks, also 3 Lexus from ES' to 2 LS. None of these cars ever gives us any issues, just regular maintenances and it's good to go. That's to me super reliability.
Good one, my neighbors Subaru WRX, only a few months old, just "died" in his drive way, it is currently dumped outside my house until he can either get it to a dealer or my local mechanic, he is really pissed off.
@@adoreslaurel the WRX is a niche car, fast and sporty, appealing to the younger consumer, not something a family would want or need, certainly not a car meant for pure transportation.
@@marklo4416 Yep, it's not for nothing that Lexus is #1 and Toyota #2 in reliability. Moreover, Toyota is #1 in low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), Mitsubishi #2, Lexus #3 (surprisingly for an entry luxury brand, because the rest - except Acura - have at least a double TCO if not triple or quadruple). But yes, Mazda and Subaru follow Toyota (it's not a coincidence that Toyota is a minority shareholder in both). Honda is going down in reliability and it's a pitty. Nowadays even Suzuki is more reliable (with the cars I like) than Honda 😢

I disagree with you, it well known worldwide that Honda is a reliable brand, in fact Toyota gangs are just finding it hard to believe but its the reality. Honda cars ranks high in terms of reliability, not even Mazda or Subaru can reach, for Toyota its debatable@@codincoman9019
As a mechanic for over 28 years, I say Toyota cars are reliable, but their reliability is over rated. In the late 90s until 2003 their v6 had major sludge problems, just look up the class action lawsuit on the Toyota 1MZ v6. Then look at the rust problems on their truck frames that they are now paying a billion dollar lawsuit on. Also the oil burning problems since 2008 on the 4 cylinder engines, and now the turbo engines are blowing up. Why don’t they ever get the hate of the car journalist? These so-called experts hate on Nissan when they come out with innovative technology, but Nissan is still the company that make Subaru’s all wheel drive not Toyota. And Subaru had much better engines when Nissan was making the pistons and crankshaft. But Nissan sold their ownership of Subaru to Toyota in 2002. IRS interest Nissan wasn’t on this list, and Subaru’s reliability has gotten worse since Toyota bought the controlling share from Nissan. That should tell us something. Toyota still makes good cars, but Nissan makes better in several models. Just look at how long do Nissan engines last and Google the same for Toyota. I work on them. I own a 2001 Nissan Xterra v6 I’ve had for all 23 years of its life, and it has 462k miles on it. All original engine no special maintenance, all power windows and AC system original I replaced the starter at 303k miles and 16 years old. All the Nissans I’ve owned I’ve put over 300k on three of them with no problems at all. Just change oil, and all the filters. I’m sick of hearing that Toyota’s are the top of reliability, most Japanese cars are very reliable, and that certainly includes Nissan!
Thanks for a voice of truth !!...For too long this lie have been spread of the so called Toyota ...reliability ...!!!...It is nothing better than any other car on the road.......Why is Toyota using Subaru and Suzuki and BMW........to badge engineer Toyotas ????? .........Why ...???....I have never owned or will own any Toyota...!!There are better cars on the market ..!!
Very true! Toyota reliability is over rated. Several problems worse than other brands. Just the noise they have managed to create about their reliability
@@frno1073 That is just one brand. What about the numerous problems of Toyota venza?? I've seen many Corrolas entire back axle fall off. A lot of chassis problems. And when on highway, most Toyotas cannot handle the highway speed pressure. They become light like a paper and we overtake them and their accelerator pedals touches base. I have a Volvo s40 driven over 20 years but I make all Toyota cars small on the highway except the land cruiser .
My Navara has electronic 4x4 system way back in 2008 but it is recently that Toyota hiilux has done it. Toyota sticks to old simple fashioned gadgets and always copies others after being invented.
Talk to a good friend of mine today. She has a Subaru Outback. It has approximately 90,000 miles. Has been faithfully maintained all servicing done at the Subaru dealership where she purchased it. She has four oil leaks. And this is a car that has been impeccably maintained.
My favourites: Lexus (my wife drives a UX 250h F Sport), Mazda (we have fun with a Miata ND2 RF G-184), Suzuki (I use - for off-road construction sites mainly - a Jimny LCV, 4x4 ofc). Because they are the champions of their segments, thanks to the excellent reliability, low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), design, performance etc.
I bought a new Mazda CX-5 CE Turbo w/ AWD in 2021 because they didn't come with a CVT, Engine Stop/Start technology, or cylinder deactivation. So far, so good!
I had a 2023 outback and almost had 3 accidents had it not been for me slamming on the brakes. Traded it in after 6 months. Dealership never said there was anything wrong with the car.
I've had 4 Subarus one after the other over a 20 year period. Never let me down and they were all high-performance Imprezas. Their 4WD system was second to none as was the handling and practicality, not a bad car to work on either. Unfortunately, whether through lack of investment or whatever, the other manufacturers caught up and passed them. Now in partnership with Toyota, it should be a beneficial relationship.
@@kenfrank2730 Yeah, lack of spare tires is logically liable to become a major issue in choices for many. It eludes me why these makers are ok with losing customers over such a no-brainer thing. Alongside an opening roof. Those gimmicky fixed panoramic all-glass roofs can in no criteria replace a simple opening moon roof or sun roof for fresh air and only increase the risk of higher potential maintenance expenses and even lower safety. I just don't get it. Strange direction for a brand (in this case i mean Toyota) that supposedly caters to practicality.
I think very highly of Hondas, owned a Accord back in the 80's loved it until I had a small fender bender that totally wiped out my front end. My problem with Honda is that their engines are all high tech, with leads to much more expensive repairs and cuts down on their longevity. I also feel the quality of the material used is inferior to Toyota.
@@jameschan9634 I had three Honda in my life. All of them started to have transmission issues before 100k. One of them actually needed full transmission replacement at 80k.
Hi Scot. I am going to give you my experience in this cars that you have mentioned: mainly in Europe and Africa. 1* Subaru is very good on off road performance but their engines are very troublesome especially with cam belt issues and miss firing and very expensive to repair due to the complexity and accessibility to engine components. 2* Mazda also reliable engine wise but body is very weak it rust up easily especially those who stay by the coast and to make them lighter like you said the body parts are extremely soft/weak. As for the rest good in every aspect. Mind you that in the past I had a Mazda 323 hatchback, a Toyota Avante twincam 16V and a Honda civic and later a CRV. But again I think the American market has no comparison with Europe or Africa. I think because the cars that are built for the American market are completely different in a lot of aspects.
With Lexus, 2 of the 4 brands in this video are Toyotas. Subaru is a Toyota now. Toyota owns 50% of Subaru and controls of the production of the cars. All the Subaru factories have been retooled to run the same as Toyota factories and use Toyota management techniques. Of course the quality is the same.
SUVs suck. I drove a yellow Gremlin, two Pintos, a Isuzu Pup, a Ford Ranger extended cab, a Mustang Convertible, and an Equinox. I am renting a Versa Nissan, what a fun little car to drive. Bring back small cars...
My son owns a Subaru, a well engineered car. Unfortunately the design engineers did not care about ease of maintenance. The engine need to be removed for a lot of simple maintenance. Costing a lot more than my Camry or Corolla.
Your comment is old but, like what? Subaru engines are actually super easy to pull out, but I still don't know what maintenance you'd need to take the engine out for.
Nothing can compare with Toyota. 50 years of ownership of brands Toyota and Lexus are only brands we families would buy and keep at least a dozen of years.
My Subaru have 300K Km and 9 years old. I do a lot of off grid camping. Have never done any major work except aircon cooling coil (SG is over 24C everyday of the year), and wheel bearing change. Last did did the most major maintenance and that is a $1K transmission overall. To me its a great car.
Can anyone inform me why new cars are so low to the ground in the front ends now. We live in a snowy area and ppl get stuck in the snow. That does not make sense! 0:19
I believe a consumer would be happy with all of the brands listed, but, in my experience, Toyota still tops them all. Toyotas are better built with better quality material. And Lexus IS Toyota, so don't know why its considered different.
I had a 2015 Subaru Outback 3.6R. It was one of the worst cars I ever had. 4 recall! I traded out of it after 2 years of horrible tech. Eyesight at the time was their showpiece, and I found it to have a lot of false positives. It was never dangerous, but an example would be a big splotch of paint on the roadway to work would trigger imminent collision alert. The wireless key system was unreliable, and the system was a battery drain as the car often would not go to sleep at home. I had to make sure the keys were in the bedroom and not in any room near the garage. CVT. I'll never buy a car with a CVT ever again. The Outback could not be trusted in situations where you needed a sudden burst of energy. The CVT could not figure out the proper setting for what you were pressing the pedal for. Lots of noise, little reaction. Ironically, I traded it to a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee and that car was one of the best I've owned. Despite public opinion, the Jeep was exceptionally reliable.
I have a 2013 Hyundai santa fe xl that I bought new with just 13 km on it. I recently replaced the windshield due to a rock hit. Other than that, just maintaining it. It has a lot of power if you have to get out of someone's way. I stopped using it in winter because I didn't want salt on it. Bought an old truck. For winter driving Has 3 rows of seats and holds seven people.
Of all these cars, I only owned Toyota. Therefore, I can't compare it to them. However, it"s safe to say it's way better than all cars I owned or driven already, including Land Rover Freelander.
I've had Lexus and Honda vehicles since 1990. The Integra was my favorite. But today, I look at Lexus same as the author. It is more premium because of its luxury features. One in particular is less road noise. You can notice the difference after 10 years. Honda makes bullet proof engines. I have them on my cars, mowers, pressure washers, etc. The only way you can beat them is with a tire tool.
Try more like Toyota owning 5% in Mazda and Subaru too, with co-operations on some parts, models, hybridisation etc. Actually, this is a good example of a "keiretsu" (few Japanese companies working together for the mutual benefits), including their pessimism on BEV.

... Also consider the after sales support... and availability of spareparts in remote or less developed countries... like Afghanistan 😅 Toyotas thrive in harsh environments with little support 👍
Sorry but Toyota/Lexus still comes out on top...isn't Mazda dealing with a class action lawsuit concerning one of their engines? There is a reason why the resale value on any Toyota/Lexus model is higher than the the competition .Even models from the 90s ( Lexus in particular still sell at a higher price relative to the competition. Transmissions are ridiculously durable....the straight 6 2jz in my Lexus GS passed 300k and still runs fairly smooth for a 30 yr old car. Most of the work Ive done to my car is mostly maintenance with few actual breakdowns
@@alpha7ization Toyota is also dealing with engines failing in their newer Tundras from debris left in the engine during the manufacturing process. Toyota’s recent problems with their Tundras and the new Tacomas (transmissions) is concerning. Fortunately, Toyota is replacing the engines and transmissions. However, this turn of events doesn’t speak well for Toyota’s quality control.
Talking about lawsuits and so on ....IN 2006 and for years after that Toyota had 23 Million recalls on all their products basically ...lawsuits still going on today ....because as usual....Toyota trying to dodge the bullit ...Imagine 23 Million recalls ..???Horrendous in my opinion...!!!.........And why do you say .....sorry......in the beginning of your message ....You should feel sorry for yourself ....!!We dont own Toyotas ...!!

I have a 1995 Honda Accord, 4 cylinder 5 speed manual. I bought it in 2000. Two years ago I had a problem with its running. It cost just under $1600. The reason of the high price was this. It needed a small part in the distributor, but that part wasn't available. So they had to use a used distributor. That's the only problem I've ever had. PS Having a 5 speed manual trans also says something about how I drive.
@@kingalfred3902 I now drive late model BMW’s with either the B48 or B58 engines in them and love them! But we still own 2 Toyota’s that are paid off (Rav4 V6 limited w/ hitch we use for our Thule E-Bikes rack, and Scion TC hatchback). BMW has ongoing interactions and join efforts with Toyota which over time has brought out even more engineering and quality prowess BMW engineers. So. If the comment was to me, yes I believe myself according to knowledge and experience. But I relentlessly keep up with the maintenance on all my vehicles (no matter the brand per se). And you are right. Toyota and even most Lexus’s are definitely very bland compared to BMW’s and Porsche for instance. 😉
I owed Corolla Toyota over 10 years never even changed a peace, only tires and oil change. Unfortunately got in an accident it’s total loss, now I drive Mazda, so far I like how it drives
Honda also makes private jets in Greensboro, North Carolina and they make motorcycles. At one time. The Honda Civic had a motorcycle engine, two cylinder as I remember it. This means that Honda could now manufacture a range extender. EV with a Honda motorcycle engine and one electric motor for each wheel. This would eliminate the differential and the transmission saving both weight and expense and would have the potential for very high mileage and low carbon footprint . 😃😃😃😃
I have a 2004 Toyota Sequoia with 115,000 miles. One day my daughter had a problem with her car (not a Toyota or a Honda) I was waiting with her until AAA showed up. Their driver saw that the license plate on the Sequoia was old and asked me how many miles I had on it . I told him and he said you should get another two hundred thousand on it easily and never sell it. This is from a guy who worked with troubleshooting cars for a living.
No, not really. Subaru(not recommneded) suv 4AWD main problem is the wheel bearing. It burnt out every 20-25KM and need to be replaced either front or rear wheel bearing hub!!. The spare parts much more expensive and also limited service workshop available especially in Asia region. Petrol consumption also high compare to 2 wheel drive.
The simplestity that you refer to is when they STOPPED USING head gaskets and started using a chalking gun to put silicone crap that has no longevity past 80,000 miles to it ,you wonderful Subaru company😂😂
I have owned all. Except the latest mazda. I can say that subaru AWD is the best, better than the honda CRV AWD or Toyota AWD or Mazda AWD. Honda Civic with the new 1.5 TEC turbo has issues of drinking some of it's lube oil. The mazda skyactiv engine is overhype. As for Lexus. You can see that some older Lexus are then seen on the newer Toyota, especially in the Camry. The Toyota Harrier has the same design as the Lexus RX 300 from 1995 - 2010. Except for the inside finishing & gadjets.
Once, I would not have considered buying a vehicle that was not Toyota/Lexus. Hence, I put my name down for a RAV4 top of the range. I was stunned when I drove it. It was tinny and noisy and a flimsy version of the solid Toyotas I had owned before. I cancelled my order and possibly will not buy another Toyota and now I fear for the quality of Lexus. With costs rising l suspect Toyota has relied on its superb reputation for reliability and quality and have now dumbed down well, at least this RAV4 and I cannot help wondering whether it will extend to other vehicles in their range. BMW Mercedes Audi have relied on their reputation and are now overrated and overpriced and not particularly reliable. It’s odd but I have a feeling of considerable loss now in future that I will be an ex Toyota buyer.

@@gmdsr1177 Well Ford had the 'throw-away' concept built in a long time ago, it's not an accident. The idea was that they make more money on a higher turnover. You have to keep people buying new cars more often. A very stupid and dishonest operational paradigm, if you ask me, but there you have it
@@ericpizarro3084 chill out??? I think you mis-comprehend the post. Nothing funny about it was MY FIRST thought. Best cars I've owned was a Toyota and currently a Lexus. And the Lexus is 20 yrs old, runs great, looks great. To think it's 'funny' shows ignorance of reality, or perhaps it's an opinion based on racism.
I think Mazda's reliability has improved quite a bit over the last few years. But they had some very serious engine and transmission problems ranging from five to ten years ago. I personally know somebody with a 2016 CX 5 who had to replace both the engine and transmission with less than 125,000 miles. Transmission went out at 80,000. I'm in the market for a new car. My 2010 rav4 is still great but approaching 200,000 miles. I test drove a 2024 rav 4 and found the ride quality and handling to be unimpressive. This coming from a guy who's been driving a rav 4 sport for 13 years. My sport handles amazingly for an SUV, but the ride- ugh. Very impressed with the Venza though. But 2024 is the last year for the Venza and it's a little long in the tooth regarding styling and technology. Also, 2024's are now hard to find (at least in my area) and dealers are asking top dollar for the few they still have.
Subaru has a history of head gasket problems along with O2 sensors, transmissions, and air bag recalls so you can forget that one. Hondas have timing belts while Toyota has timing chains. It’s easy to see which one is more reliable. Toyota specially Rav 4 is better and longer lasting than Hondas of the same ilk. Lexus is a fancy Toyota, but is really high in quality.
Toyota, Lexus and Daihatsu are Toyota companies and all have excellent reliability. Hino trucks are also associated with Toyota and are the most reliable medium-duty trucks available.
All of these are excellent cars and any of the options given do exceed Toyota in certain areas….and they ALL have problems…..get what works for you and drive on!
I just bought a Mazda 3 sedan. Mazda has a partnership with Toyota, who owns a quantity of Mazda stock. I wanted a car that had no CVT, got good gas mileage, and had an excellent reliability rating. I will not buy an EV.

I own a 2010 tundra and a 2012 rav4 with 2.5 motor, I also ha a 2021 ridgeline, with 3.6 motor. I have had a few issues over the years but solid vehicles. Also previously owned a handful of civics, if I was not an old geezer I would still buy civics. Just can't get in and out of them.
Subaru and partly owned by Toyota, their placing isn’t surprising. And I own a Mazda CX-5, 60k miles in and I haven’t had one single issue with it.
I've had no complaints with my 2021 Mazda CX-5 CE Turbo w/ AWD. There's no Engine Stop/Stop technology (i.e. iStop), no cylinder deactivation, and no CVT.
Nothing is better than Toyota. Lexus maybe but it isToyota😊
For sure
Had 2 Camrys they were great. Now have a Lexus SUV. I love it. Will always be a Toyota Lexus fan.
Company’s truck sold Toyota Tundra @ 750k miles and still no major repair…
My Lexus is 10 years old. Nothing has broken. No breakdown or failure anywhere. Nothing ever.
My family has been driving Toyota since 1976, many models included from sedans to trucks, also 3 Lexus from ES' to 2 LS.
None of these cars ever gives us any issues, just regular maintenances and it's good to go.
That's to me super reliability.
Has to be all Japanese brands!! In spite of all the hype, no surprise that there was no German brand!!
I just purchased a Mazda CX-70, less than 24 hours ago, and haven’t had any issues.
Good one, my neighbors Subaru WRX, only a few months old, just "died" in his drive way, it is currently dumped outside my house until he can either get it to a dealer or my local mechanic, he is really pissed off.
@@adoreslaurel - 👍🏻 I would be upset too!
Thank you so much for your review! It’s really helpful. 😁
@@adoreslaurel the WRX is a niche car, fast and sporty, appealing to the younger consumer, not something a family would want or need, certainly not a car meant for pure transportation.
are you being facetious? Are you expecting problems by tomorrow?
i have owned and driven Honda, Mazda, and subaru. None of these three cars can compare to Toyota Reliability.
@@marklo4416 Yep, it's not for nothing that Lexus is #1 and Toyota #2 in reliability.
Moreover, Toyota is #1 in low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), Mitsubishi #2, Lexus #3 (surprisingly for an entry luxury brand, because the rest - except Acura - have at least a double TCO if not triple or quadruple).
But yes, Mazda and Subaru follow Toyota (it's not a coincidence that Toyota is a minority shareholder in both).
Honda is going down in reliability and it's a pitty. Nowadays even Suzuki is more reliable (with the cars I like) than Honda 😢

I disagree with you, it well known worldwide that Honda is a reliable brand, in fact Toyota gangs are just finding it hard to believe but its the reality. Honda cars ranks high in terms of reliability, not even Mazda or Subaru can reach, for Toyota its debatable@@codincoman9019
@@MPCar68Mazda is on par with Toyota. Great cars.
I am still driving my 2001 Honda CRV. I will drive anywhere that has a road without any hesitation.
#2 Mazda. I bought a Mazda Tribute 3.0 V6 in 2001. I'm still driving it with over 275K on the OD.
As a mechanic for over 28 years, I say Toyota cars are reliable, but their reliability is over rated. In the late 90s until 2003 their v6 had major sludge problems, just look up the class action lawsuit on the Toyota 1MZ v6. Then look at the rust problems on their truck frames that they are now paying a billion dollar lawsuit on. Also the oil burning problems since 2008 on the 4 cylinder engines, and now the turbo engines are blowing up. Why don’t they ever get the hate of the car journalist? These so-called experts hate on Nissan when they come out with innovative technology, but Nissan is still the company that make Subaru’s all wheel drive not Toyota. And Subaru had much better engines when Nissan was making the pistons and crankshaft. But Nissan sold their ownership of Subaru to Toyota in 2002. IRS interest Nissan wasn’t on this list, and Subaru’s reliability has gotten worse since Toyota bought the controlling share from Nissan. That should tell us something. Toyota still makes good cars, but Nissan makes better in several models. Just look at how long do Nissan engines last and Google the same for Toyota. I work on them. I own a 2001 Nissan Xterra v6 I’ve had for all 23 years of its life, and it has 462k miles on it. All original engine no special maintenance, all power windows and AC system original I replaced the starter at 303k miles and 16 years old. All the Nissans I’ve owned I’ve put over 300k on three of them with no problems at all. Just change oil, and all the filters. I’m sick of hearing that Toyota’s are the top of reliability, most Japanese cars are very reliable, and that certainly includes Nissan!
Thank you. You've spoken my mind.
Thanks for a voice of truth !!...For too long this lie have been spread of the so called Toyota ...reliability ...!!!...It is nothing better than any other car on the road.......Why is Toyota using Subaru and Suzuki and BMW........to badge engineer Toyotas ????? .........Why ...???....I have never owned or will own any Toyota...!!There are better cars on the market ..!!
Very true! Toyota reliability is over rated. Several problems worse than other brands. Just the noise they have managed to create about their reliability
@@frno1073 That is just one brand. What about the numerous problems of Toyota venza?? I've seen many Corrolas entire back axle fall off. A lot of chassis problems.
And when on highway, most Toyotas cannot handle the highway speed pressure. They become light like a paper and we overtake them and their accelerator pedals touches base. I have a Volvo s40 driven over 20 years but I make all Toyota cars small on the highway except the land cruiser .
My Navara has electronic 4x4 system way back in 2008 but it is recently that Toyota hiilux has done it. Toyota sticks to old simple fashioned gadgets and always copies others after being invented.
Talk to a good friend of mine today. She has a Subaru Outback. It has approximately 90,000 miles. Has been faithfully maintained all servicing done at the Subaru dealership where she purchased it. She has four oil leaks. And this is a car that has been impeccably maintained.
What is the year of that Subaru of hers?
My favourites: Lexus (my wife drives a UX 250h F Sport), Mazda (we have fun with a Miata ND2 RF G-184), Suzuki (I use - for off-road construction sites mainly - a Jimny LCV, 4x4 ofc). Because they are the champions of their segments, thanks to the excellent reliability, low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), design, performance etc.

@@paulholterhaus7084 at least later Subies no longer have the head gasket problems.
I've had 4 Subarus one after the other over a 20 year period. Never let me down and they were all high-performance Imprezas. Their 4WD system was second to none as was the handling and practicality, not a bad car to work on either. Unfortunately, whether through lack of investment or whatever, the other manufacturers caught up and passed them. Now in partnership with Toyota, it should be a beneficial relationship.
It's HONDA all the way for me. Two CRV s over the last 23 years.
Comfortable, reliable, economical. Never let me down.
I like the CRV hybrid but it doesn't have a spare tire. So it's the Rav4 hybrid for me.
@@kenfrank2730 Yeah, lack of spare tires is logically liable to become a major issue in choices for many. It eludes me why these makers are ok with losing customers over such a no-brainer thing. Alongside an opening roof. Those gimmicky fixed panoramic all-glass roofs can in no criteria replace a simple opening moon roof or sun roof for fresh air and only increase the risk of higher potential maintenance expenses and even lower safety. I just don't get it. Strange direction for a brand (in this case i mean Toyota) that supposedly caters to practicality.
My Mazda CX-9 is over 18 years old and still comfortable, reliable and economical. And it definitely drives better than the MDX.
I think very highly of Hondas, owned a Accord back in the 80's loved it until I had a small fender bender that totally wiped out my front end. My problem with Honda is that their engines are all high tech, with leads to much more expensive repairs and cuts down on their longevity. I also feel the quality of the material used is inferior to Toyota.
@@jameschan9634 I had three Honda in my life. All of them started to have transmission issues before 100k. One of them actually needed full transmission replacement at 80k.
Hi Scot. I am going to give you my experience in this cars that you have mentioned: mainly in Europe and Africa.
1* Subaru is very good on off road performance but their engines are very troublesome especially with cam belt issues and miss firing and very expensive to repair due to the complexity and accessibility to engine components.
2* Mazda also reliable engine wise but body is very weak it rust up easily especially those who stay by the coast and to make them lighter like you said the body parts are extremely soft/weak. As for the rest good in every aspect.
Mind you that in the past I had a Mazda 323 hatchback, a Toyota Avante twincam 16V and a Honda civic and later a CRV. But again I think the American market has no comparison with Europe or Africa. I think because the cars that are built for the American market are completely different in a lot of aspects.
I own a 2007 Mazda6 2.3L sedan A/T and live 2km from the coast. Not a spot of rust and it's parked underneath my house, not in a garage.
With Lexus, 2 of the 4 brands in this video are Toyotas. Subaru is a Toyota now. Toyota owns 50% of Subaru and controls of the production of the cars. All the Subaru factories have been retooled to run the same as Toyota factories and use Toyota management techniques. Of course the quality is the same.
Correction: Toyota owns 20% of Subaru in 2024.
Was the vw Tiguan reviewed in this reliability comparison.?
SUVs suck. I drove a yellow Gremlin, two Pintos, a Isuzu Pup, a Ford Ranger extended cab, a Mustang Convertible, and an Equinox. I am renting a Versa Nissan, what a fun little car to drive. Bring back small cars...
My son owns a Subaru, a well engineered car. Unfortunately the design engineers did not care about ease of maintenance. The engine need to be removed for a lot of simple maintenance. Costing a lot more than my Camry or Corolla.
Your comment is old but, like what? Subaru engines are actually super easy to pull out, but I still don't know what maintenance you'd need to take the engine out for.
Great video, thanks, just subscribed. Does anyone know if the 2021 Honda HR-V has a timing chain or a timing belt ?
HRV handling is terrible
Yes they do. Timing belt
Nothing can compare with Toyota. 50 years of ownership of brands Toyota and Lexus are only brands we families would buy and keep at least a dozen of years.
My Subaru have 300K Km and 9 years old. I do a lot of off grid camping. Have never done any major work except aircon cooling coil (SG is over 24C everyday of the year), and wheel bearing change. Last did did the most major maintenance and that is a $1K transmission overall. To me its a great car.
I am glad that you have not had any head gasket problems, my mechanic tells me its an expensive fix, having to remove the engine.
They accidentally make a few good ones but Subaru are not likely to be cheap unless you don't drive much
We have a 1955 holden sitting in our backyard today. Where it stopped in 1956.
That is almost 70 years without any costly repairs. Well done.
Subaru is known for notorious blowing head gasket.
Can anyone inform me why new cars are so low to the ground in the front ends now. We live in a snowy area and ppl get stuck in the snow. That does not make sense! 0:19
I believe a consumer would be happy with all of the brands listed, but, in my experience, Toyota still tops them all. Toyotas are better built with better quality material. And Lexus IS Toyota, so don't know why its considered different.
The hidden question is the difference between toyotas made in japan and those made in the US
For be sure the brand Volvo is the answer. 🩷🌐
I’m thinking Honda for my new car😉 but I will test drive the 3 models. Toyota Crown insignia, Honda CRV hybrid, Mazda CX-50 hybrid.
You won't go wrong with a Honda , extremely reliable n economical machines whichever you choose 👍
Can’t go wrong with Toyota either
I had a 2015 Subaru Outback 3.6R. It was one of the worst cars I ever had. 4 recall! I traded out of it after 2 years of horrible tech. Eyesight at the time was their showpiece, and I found it to have a lot of false positives. It was never dangerous, but an example would be a big splotch of paint on the roadway to work would trigger imminent collision alert. The wireless key system was unreliable, and the system was a battery drain as the car often would not go to sleep at home. I had to make sure the keys were in the bedroom and not in any room near the garage. CVT. I'll never buy a car with a CVT ever again. The Outback could not be trusted in situations where you needed a sudden burst of energy. The CVT could not figure out the proper setting for what you were pressing the pedal for. Lots of noise, little reaction. Ironically, I traded it to a 2017 Jeep Grand Cherokee and that car was one of the best I've owned. Despite public opinion, the Jeep was exceptionally reliable.
All Japanese cars, the others have a lot of catching up to do
Nissan had a few bad yrs not sure if they caught up and Mitsubishi is still questionable

Has 3 rows of seats and holds seven people.
Nothing beats Toyota reliability
Of all these cars, I only owned Toyota. Therefore, I can't compare it to them. However, it"s safe to say it's way better than all cars I owned or driven already, including Land Rover Freelander.
I love my 2013 Honda Fit Sport. Not a super smooth ride and lots of plastic, but very solid with no issues. And I love V-tech engine.
I've had Lexus and Honda vehicles since 1990. The Integra was my favorite. But today, I look at Lexus same as the author. It is more premium because of its luxury features. One in particular is less road noise. You can notice the difference after 10 years. Honda makes bullet proof engines. I have them on my cars, mowers, pressure washers, etc. The only way you can beat them is with a tire tool.
Toyota has 20% stake in Subaru and a partnership with Mazda
Try more like Toyota owning 5% in Mazda and Subaru too, with co-operations on some parts, models, hybridisation etc.

... Also consider the after sales support... and availability of spareparts in remote or less developed countries... like Afghanistan 😅
Toyotas thrive in harsh environments with little support 👍
Sorry but Toyota/Lexus still comes out on top...isn't Mazda dealing with a class action lawsuit concerning one of their engines? There is a reason why the resale value on any Toyota/Lexus model is higher than the the competition .Even models from the 90s ( Lexus in particular still sell at a higher price relative to the competition. Transmissions are ridiculously durable....the straight 6 2jz in my Lexus GS passed 300k and still runs fairly smooth for a 30 yr old car. Most of the work Ive done to my car is mostly maintenance with few actual breakdowns
The 2.5 liter engine block has issues.
@@alpha7ization Toyota is also dealing with engines failing in their newer Tundras from debris left in the engine during the manufacturing process. Toyota’s recent problems with their Tundras and the new Tacomas (transmissions) is concerning. Fortunately, Toyota is replacing the engines and transmissions. However, this turn of events doesn’t speak well for Toyota’s quality control.
Talking about lawsuits and so on ....IN 2006 and for years after that Toyota had 23 Million recalls on all their products basically ...lawsuits still going on today ....because as usual....Toyota trying to dodge the bullit ...Imagine 23 Million recalls ..???Horrendous in my opinion...!!!.........And why do you say .....sorry......in the beginning of your message ....You should feel sorry for yourself ....!!We dont own Toyotas ...!!
You are dreaming !...go and google the second hand prices of a Lexus .....against the German Trio..!!...No comparison !....you can buy a Lexus cheap...!!!...even i wanted to buy one ...!!....But i woke up...!!
What competition are you referring to...????....Definately ......not the German Trio ..!!
I have a 1995 Honda Accord, 4 cylinder 5 speed manual. I bought it in 2000. Two years ago I had a problem with its running. It cost just under $1600. The reason of the high price was this. It needed a small part in the distributor, but that part wasn't available. So they had to use a used distributor. That's the only problem I've ever had. PS Having a 5 speed manual trans also says something about how I drive.
My Lexus is 10 years old. Nothing has broken. No breakdown or failure anywhere. Nothing ever.
Toyota is still the best overall reliable and longest lasting automobile and trucks. Hands down!
And you believe yourself ???......They are also the most bland...... uninspired......dull....... old timer vehicles on the road ...!!!
@@kingalfred3902 I now drive late model BMW’s with either the B48 or B58 engines in them and love them!

BMW has ongoing interactions and join efforts with Toyota which over time has brought out even more engineering and quality prowess BMW engineers.
So. If the comment was to me, yes I believe myself according to knowledge and experience. But I relentlessly keep up with the maintenance on all my vehicles (no matter the brand per se).

My Lexus is 10 years old. Nothing has broken. No breakdown or failure anywhere. Nothing ever.
Honda also makes private jets in Greensboro, North Carolina and they make motorcycles. At one time. The Honda Civic had a motorcycle engine, two cylinder as I remember it. This means that Honda could now manufacture a range extender. EV with a Honda motorcycle engine and one electric motor for each wheel. This would eliminate the differential and the transmission saving both weight and expense and would have the potential for very high mileage and low carbon footprint . 😃😃😃😃

I have a 2004 Toyota Sequoia with 115,000 miles. One day my daughter had a problem with her car (not a Toyota or a Honda) I was waiting with her until AAA showed up. Their driver saw that the license plate on the Sequoia was old and asked me how many miles I had on it . I told him and he said you should get another two hundred thousand on it easily and never sell it. This is from a guy who worked with troubleshooting cars for a living.
My 2004 Toyota Sienna has over 200k on it. Still going strong.
My Q60S Infiniti was made in Japan and it ain’t broke yet. It looks better than the Toyotas.
No, not really. Subaru(not recommneded) suv 4AWD main problem is the wheel bearing. It burnt out every 20-25KM and need to be replaced either front or rear wheel bearing hub!!. The spare parts much more expensive and also limited service workshop available especially in Asia region. Petrol consumption also high compare to 2 wheel drive.
The simplestity that you refer to is when they STOPPED USING head gaskets and started using a chalking gun to put silicone crap that has no longevity past 80,000 miles to it ,you wonderful Subaru company😂😂
I have owned all. Except the latest mazda.
I can say that subaru AWD is the best, better than the honda CRV AWD or Toyota AWD or Mazda AWD.
Honda Civic with the new 1.5 TEC turbo has issues of drinking some of it's lube oil.
The mazda skyactiv engine is overhype.
As for Lexus.
You can see that some older Lexus are then seen on the newer Toyota, especially in the Camry.
The Toyota Harrier has the same design as the Lexus RX 300 from 1995 - 2010.
Except for the inside finishing & gadjets.
I ouwn A Toyota Rav 4 and it has 64,555 miles on it without a single failure but it helps to keep up with the maintenance.
Once, I would not have considered buying a vehicle that was not Toyota/Lexus. Hence, I put my name down for a RAV4 top of the range. I was stunned when I drove it. It was tinny and noisy and a flimsy version of the solid Toyotas I had owned before. I cancelled my order and possibly will not buy another Toyota and now I fear for the quality of Lexus. With costs rising l suspect Toyota has relied on its superb reputation for reliability and quality and have now dumbed down well, at least this RAV4 and I cannot help wondering whether it will extend to other vehicles in their range. BMW Mercedes Audi have relied on their reputation and are now overrated and overpriced and not particularly reliable. It’s odd but I have a feeling of considerable loss now in future that I will be an ex Toyota buyer.
Isn't the Subaru known for head gasket problems?
Now, later models No.
What about Hyundai Kia Genesis? They are ranked higher then those you mentioned in JD Power.

I think Mazda's reliability has improved quite a bit over the last few years. But they had some very serious engine and transmission problems ranging from five to ten years ago. I personally know somebody with a 2016 CX 5 who had to replace both the engine and transmission with less than 125,000 miles. Transmission went out at 80,000. I'm in the market for a new car. My 2010 rav4 is still great but approaching 200,000 miles. I test drove a 2024 rav 4 and found the ride quality and handling to be unimpressive. This coming from a guy who's been driving a rav 4 sport for 13 years. My sport handles amazingly for an SUV, but the ride- ugh. Very impressed with the Venza though. But 2024 is the last year for the Venza and it's a little long in the tooth regarding styling and technology. Also, 2024's are now hard to find (at least in my area) and dealers are asking top dollar for the few they still have.
What's with the Toyota Crown ?
I have a 1996 e200 merc
Have done 628k with no problem
Nothing better than a full framed SUV, a GMC WITH A 4.2 running strong with over 300 000 on it
Subaru has a history of head gasket problems along with O2 sensors, transmissions, and air bag recalls so you can forget that one. Hondas have timing belts while Toyota has timing chains. It’s easy to see which one is more reliable. Toyota specially Rav 4 is better and longer lasting than Hondas of the same ilk. Lexus is a fancy Toyota, but is really high in quality.
Toyota, Lexus and Daihatsu are Toyota companies and all have excellent reliability. Hino trucks are also associated with Toyota and are the most reliable medium-duty trucks available.
Subaru Boxer head gasket failure is well known
Mostly in older models.

A Subaru engine lasts about 250,000 miles. Toyota is called the million mile motor. It is documented.
Only thing "would" have been nice to include years. For example when did Mazda step up quality control, etc. . . :>/
When my 1999 Toyota wears out I will consider buying the others.
One item often overlooked is the paint . Very expensive to get a quality paint job. My experience is Toyota does not lead regarding paint.
