145 problems per 100 vehicles is the best?
I’ve owned three Sportages (2010, 2013, & 2020). Very happy with them. Only in the shop for maintenance and a few recalls.
I see Honda way down on the list, which makes me wonder: Do they weigh the “problems”, or does a cracked dashboard knob count the same as a blown tranny?
I’ll buy Korean TVs...cell phones...and computer chips but not Korean cars. Maybe someday,but not today.It wasn’t long ago that Korean cars were universally ridiculed.
The Korean brands seem quite popular here in the South. Of course, many of them are made here in West Point GA and Montgomery AL, for Kia and Hyundai respectively.
One of the factors in my purchase of a 2022 Genesis G80 was its reputation for reliability. Glad to see Genesis up in the top four of this study
Had a Rio for a time. Dang good car. Wish we had kept it; I would rather drive it than my 3/4 Ton Chevy right now.
Old lady drives a Canyon and she misses the little Rio.
Subaru below Ford? ROTFLMAO!
He had to put some new parts on the exhaust system -
which is understandable.
Last I heard the thing is still running strong. I do not
know how many miles are on it now.
J D Powers only looks at the first six months. Honda and Toyota easily last 200,000 miles with routine maintenance. Hyundai and Kia are good lease cars and can shine for the first 80K. I have two Honda Elements, one an 04, and the other an 05. They both have 140K plus miles. The 04 has had nothing but routine maintenance, the 05 has needed a starter and alternator. Perhaps the people who pay the extra money for Honda/Toyota take better care of them, they sure look better with age. Porsche, BMW, Mercedes after a few years become “endless money pits.”

“Tesla not included due to small sample size”
Yet Range Rover with all of 17,000 car sold in the USA was. I smell a Rat.
Just get a Toyota truck or SUV. Sure the body might rust, but you'll still get 250K trouble free miles out of them easily.
The new Kia EV 6 will have a range of 315 miles and the capability to high speed charge from 10 to 80% in 18 minutes. Hyundai/Kia have come a long way since the 80s when they were looked on as pos cars.
When I see “JD Power” I always wonder how much of a bribe the companies had to pay this year to get their ranking.
As always, Land Rover is at the bottom.
I wonder where Tesla would be if they had a big enough sample?
J.D. Power is a marketing firm. You know that right? They get payola.
