The Japanese and Korean cars are mostly built here. More Honda’s are made in Ohio and Virginia than in Japan. Most Hyundai and Kia’s are made in Alabama. More Subarus are built in Indiana than Japan.

You’re about 30 years behind in your thinking.


Not only that, but given Honda's oil dilution issues with their 1.5T engines, metal debris issues in Hyundai's theta engines, and cracks on Toyota's new 2.5 engines, it's not even remotely accurate.

Japanese brands are largely coasting on reputation at this point. Some of the most advanced and most reliable engines are built by GM and Ford.


This is interesting to me.

Ford Hahahaha their recall list is huge. Not sure I would agree.


+1
I didn't read the study, but most of the reliability studies are anything but long term. Everyone knows that American cars have a bad reputation for a reason. The only exception I can think of might be the F 150, though Toyota trucks are still more reliable. The Hilux diesels in war zones are absolute beasts.

Their engines might last forever but the plastic crap inside the car will be falling apart in two years.

Aside from the head gaskets on the 2.3L EcoBoost, Ford's engines are rock-solid. Disagree all you want, but facts are facts.


NP. Just sold my old Corolla that had over 350k miles for 1k. I changed the oil every 10k miles lol. What good is an EcoBoost engine if the rest of the hoopty falls apart?

So most reliable is cheapest. It is super bare bones and basic so maybe less to break.

Still very odd


Perhaps, but car have least amount of sensors checking this and that and overall fewer parts than more expensive cars, so less "things" that can go wrong, thus overall more reliable. Most cars today have tons of tiny components for various things, sometimes failure of a $5 part buried deep inside the engine or transmission can cost $$$ to repair.

We have driven two chrysler minivans past 200,000 miles. Just bought another. My neighbor insists that their odyssey is better because it holds it value. If you keep a car until it dies, you don't need to worry about resale value.

Also could be that people decide costly repair is not worth the money on such an inexpensive car. So don’t do them.

We usually have to trade off reliability and fuel economy withsafety as car consumers. It's unfortunate. I've been watching ntsb videos and some of the cars are down right scary.
