Toyota’s only have a good reliability rating because of their owners. And the fact that they make white bread everything. They are people who keep cars in garages, religiously take them to dealers for maintenance, baby them and fix stuff when it breaks.
Nissan may make a decent car, but their owners are trash. They finance anyone and so they have these horrible owners who don’t take care of their cars and crash them into anything they can find. So while Nissan may be ok (IMO not great) their owners make things 10000xs worse.
It’s like that person who got their parents or grandparents hand me down 1989 GM product with 200k on it. They hated it. They beat it to shit. Didn’t take care of it, had to fix stuff on it all the time and called all GMs junk. Saying how they will buy a Toyota next time. Well, shocker, their brand new Toyota doesn’t need a whole lot of attention. And they take care of it. Giving the false impression of superior reliability. No shit that a new car from 2020+ is going to be nicer and more reliable than a 20 year old neglected car
FCA makes some trash vehicles. But the wrangler ain’t it, bud. Especially when we are talking about pentastar wranglers. Pentastar itself is a fantastically reliable motor.
GM has made some of the worst back alley abortion vehicles ever. And I consider myself primarily a GM guy (currently have 5) with My wrangler and 2 Toyota’s.
magazines/reviews have had a clear bias towards anything Not American for about 4 decades now. The ratings of the Pontiac Vibe and the Toyota Matrix prove it. The vibe was rated at 4 stars while Matrix was 5. Literally identical cars besides badging.
you can think you made a horrible unreliable vehicle purchase all you want. But fact is You didn’t. You bought one of the most reliable vehicles with THE absolute best resale value for non niche vehicles. Just so happens you can offroad it, take doors and top off it and have fun with it too while not always having to fix it. Which is why I bought mine.
