What is the most reliable car you have owned - are the surveys that say Japanese are best really true ?

I've owned 2 Toyotas, 3 Hondas, several Fords, several GM cars and two Dodges. The worst of the Japanese brand cars has been better than the best of the big three from Detroit.

The best in-line six engine ever produced! Good for 300-350,000 miles if you took care of it. Mine only has around 150,000 in kilometers and miles. (Miles put together). Bought it in Japan years ago and brought it back. Steering is on the right. Has sat in the garage for the past 10 years, it needs some work to put her back on the road. I'll do that after I retire. Used to get a lot of strange looks while drivng it. Loved it.

The most reliable to me are Nissan, Toyota and Honda. The only drawbacks to them in the States is that parts are more expensive than for domestic vehicles. But they don't need to be worked on nearly as often. :)

Honda, Acura (which is just an upscale Honda), and my current car, which is a Jaguar. The American cars I've owned have been crap by comparison.

One of the reasons Jaguar are not as popular as BMW 3 series in the uk is the styling that has some of the 1960's original looks, thats what I read but for me it is a bonus

I've always loved Jaguar styling. The fact that they remain linked to their heritage is one of the best things about the brand.

Japanese are really reliable. I'd say the most reliable are VWs though. I see 50s bugs and buses running everyday. My most reliable vehicles have been Dodge and Mopars though. My truck beat every other truck for work and gas mileage hands down. And I love my 72 Dart

Most of my cars have been Japanese - Honda, Toyota, Mazda. Also tried Volvo. I do not buy American cars. I currently have 2 Toyotas and am very pleased with their performance, longevity, and minimal maintenance and wouldn't hesitate to buy another in the future.
