The best new cars or used cars to buy depends on who is making up the list.

Pro-tip: If Motor Trend rates it highly - RUN AWAY. They do what their advertisers tell them to.

I trust Consumer Reports for no other reason than they don’t take advertisements.

Consumer Reports is a reader survey covering 10 years, well past most auto warranties. Problems from cost-driven short cuts in design or material specs will likely have surfaced in that time frame. JD Power might be fine for a 3 year lease, because that’s the period of usage it covers - new to 3 years. Anyone looking for used car reliability, especially someone looking to buy a 10 year old used car, should be looking at Consumer Reports.
