[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Loyal to Lexus/Toyota because of the chart below. Lexus constantly tops these charts year after year and I care about that more than other aspects of a vehicle.

Several friends were longtime Honda loyalists because Honda made incredibly reliable cars in the 90s and 2000s, but they've left the brand because Honda has fallen off a cliff in terms of reliability in recent years (though some people are unaware of this recent downward trend since their prior Hondas were always reliable).

Never had an interest in VW/Audi due to electronics, software, and long-term reliability issues, high cost of repair/parts, and heavy depreciation. Though the SQ8 and SQ5 look sexy.

A few brands like Ford are very model-dependent...I'd recommend an F150 but never a Focus or Escape.

Have a few friends who are mildly loyal to Kia as they have become much more reliable and well-built in recent years compared to 10 or 15 years ago.

Several family members in Vermont and Mass have Subarus because the state governments hand you one when you move to these areas and all New England residents are mandated to transition to the Subaru brand by 2025.

It still blows my mind why anyone would want a Land Rover as they very clearly have no idea how to build a vehicle (though the new Defender is incredibly good looking). Yeah you can lease one but even still, it is a pain to constantly be dealing with things going wrong on a car.

Tesla is good at a lot of things (best charger network by a long shot), but I won't buy one because they don't care at all about quality control (everything from misaligned body panels to customers who have had the entire ROOF fly off of their Model Y on the highway).

Chart is misleading. The Buick and Chevy are two non luxury American cars where parts and labor are much cheaper. On another chart I saw Buick was clear winner. The repair cost is the lowest.

I had a Ford Taurus and Toyota Camry same time about same age and Miles. My Taurus broke slightly more. It was much cheaper to fix. Parts were cheap. Some repairs so easy did myself. I had both for 8 years. The Taurus had less repair bills [/quote]

The chart isn't misleading, you just didn't bother to read it. The chart describes the number of problems per 100 vehicles, not the cost of repairs.[/quote]
