What is the most reliable car brand?

I know how long a car runs/how reliable it is, all has to do with the owner and how well said car is maintained…

But generally, what car brand (eg Ford, Toyota, Chevy) lasts the longest, is the most reliable?

Lexus

Toyota / Lexus IS the most reliable brand.

Age of the car plays a good part in this and how it is driven along with how it is maintained and serviced. So as the modern car is designed to last just 8 -10 years. With a mileage limit of 100k miles approx anything beyond these figures is when parts need to be changed and replaced.
having own two Toyota land cruisers and having them serviced and maintain when they should be now i'm having to change the last one as it approaches it's 8 th birthday. It has been exceptionally reliable and trustworthy and has never let me down.

  • What are the most reliable cars you can think of? I want something relatively new, but it doesn't have to be brand spanking new. So far I was thinking a Volkswagen Jetta. I was also liking Subaru, but I don't know whether the impreza or legacy is better. I also like Ford Crown Victoria/Mercury Grand Marquis'. Are Jeep wranglers reliable as well? Mention any car you like and why, Hmu with your best suggestion!
  • What are the most reliable car brands and which ones should I avoid? I'm looking to get a used car. I have even heard about two lesser known Japanese brands, Subaru and Suzuki, but I'm a bit skeptical of Suzuki in particular. I'm honestly not a supporter of Mitsubishi and Mazda. I would not say having AWD/4WD is necessary for me. It is not very snowy where I live. The reason I said that I do not like Mazda was because it used to be partnered with Ford and I do not like American car companies. I'm not so keen on German cars.
  • Most reliable transit van 2001-2004? I'm looking to buy a ford transit van for my landscaping company either swb or lwb not really to bothered. I just want to know what the best most reliable engine is to go for? I would like a little bit of poke but not essential would rather reliability.
  • Looking to buy a car privately which hasn't been serviced in 4 years but only 9000km (they bought the car brand new)? As above. the car is a Ford EcoSport 1.5 titanium it has 9000km only but they say they've never had it serviced? should I stay away from this car? also, since there's no service history could this be a case of odometer roll back fraud?
