    Toyota might be the most reliable vehicle brand, no argue on that. The problem that I have with Toyota is the arrogance of their cars dealers. They wait for you to come in thinking that you are buying a vehicle brand that exceeds all buyers expectations and lay back asking for ridiculous market up prices. Also for their latest models their car seats comfort is not good. There are other brands that are also reliable and you might be able to go to the dealer and get a fair deal. For me Toyota will be the last vehicle that I will buy. I am now only buying Subarus and Mazda. So far not a single issue why my choices.

    I recently bought a 2024 Camry but went with the XSE V6. I don't put a ton of miles on my cars so while fuel economy was a consideration but performance and mechanical simplicity / reliability were higher on my wish list. The Camry Hybrid also uses a CVT transmission which I would rather avoid. I did test drive a 2024 Mazda 3 hatchback with the manual transmission. I liked it, but I am 6 foot 4 and being a larger car the Camry was more comfortable for me. The same goes for the 2024 Honda Civic. I drove a hatchback with the turbo and a manual transmission. It would have been kind of tight for me but okay if the seats weren't so aggressively bolstered. I didn't want anything to do with Kia, Hyundai, or Chrysler and the Accord now only comes with a 4-cylinder so at the end of the day the Camry was the only sedan that checked all of my boxes. I have never owned or even driven a car that can do 0-60 in under 9 seconds so the 300 horsepower in the Camry was kind of a bucket list thing even though I don't drive fast or aggressively.

Everything they said about it turned out to be pretty much accurate. I put 70,000 miles on it and my only problems were with the rear shocks which wore out quickly and the AC compressor failed. It was a perfectly adequate car and was good value for money, but after 14 years I wanted something that had modern safety features, more comfort, and more power. Fortunately it's new owner is a family member who lives 2 miles from me and I can always borrow it if I need to go to the hardware store to pick up some long pieces of lumber or a new lawn mower.

    Reliability is not my primary concern.
    1) Safety
    2) Comfort &Luxury
    3) looks
    Volvo checks all the boxes.
    Sure Toyota and Lexus are very reliable, but their seats are horrible and they are so ugly.

    I used to trust CR until I bought a 2020 Camry in Dec of 2020. CR gave high ratings on the Camry though Toyota were replacing tens of thousands of engines, transmission problems among other issues. Toyota left the engine problems for the customers to find and tried to hide it. I should have realized there were problems with the cars when there were so many 2020's on the lots. Before 2016 when I tried to find a end of the year deal all the Camry's were sold out or spoken for. My 2020 Camry ruined a 30 year trust of Toyota products. The 2018 Camry was the start of the Toyota problems and it's been going downhill since.

    Relied on CR for 2 of our auto purchases, and that’s just one of the numerous reasons I no longer subscribe to that organization. I would never again purchase a Subaru or a VW. Subaru head gasket issues still plague the brand and now the addition of CVT transmissions is totally unacceptable. VW vehicles are truly over engineered to the point they lost site of using that engineering prowess to make their vehicles reliable. Both went into major fail mode at the end of the warranty period. Now I own a Toyota that CR wasn’t fond of because it’s not a hybrid.
