Breaking news!
The 2nd generation BRZ will be renamed the Crosstrek!
I saw a picture on the internet so it must be true:

I'm biased, but this chart would lead me to believe that Toyota's design & engineering heavily impacted the twins to the point that it truly is more of a Toyota than a Subaru, despite the engine, and despite the name stamped all over the chassis.

https://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=5274 The engine is Subaru's basic new engine architecture, but it was a clean sheet design for the 86 that Toyota actively participated in the development of, bringing Toyota tech into it (eg. the head design and injection system). The newer Subaru engines are based on the 86 motor, not the other way around. |

Also, the survey is likely to have very few respondents that own a twin, just because of the volume built. Would someone that has heavily modded their car call it "unreliable" or even respond to the survey? Frankly I think the whole ranking is suspect. Look at the GM spread. Buick is ranked 8, Cadillac is at the bottom and the others are scattered between. Yet, in most cases, it's basically the same vehicle base. Even the "average scores" column doesn't make sense to me. Is Toyota more reliable than Cadillac? Maybe. Is there that much difference (80 vs 26), sorry don't believe it.

That's cause Buicks (late Saturns before that) are Opels, designed in Europe mainly for Europe. Then GM swaps the badges.

A lot of American brands' reliability rating is lowered due to the piss-poor integration of the infotainment system in the car. Cue sucks, Mylink sucks, Sync mostly sucks, Uconnect sucks. They're universally awful. BMW spent over 1000 hours designing the sound of the door chime alone (probably longer than Ford spent total on the whole system in the last fusion I drove). They spend hundreds of man years per model to make sure the infotainment flows seamlessly with the rest of the car. With GM the cars are just not as well thought through.

To me, for a vehicle to be reliable, it needs to get you from point A to point B when you want to get there. If you are going to include "usability" then you also need to use "affordability". As in, when the car breaks, how much does it cost to fix? In the end of course, our discussion, like this survey's results, is just opinion. There are no facts behind it, only "feels" of the people surveyed. So, to some extent, people think Toyota's are more reliable because they've been told they were more reliable, but they don't "know" its more reliable than any other car. For that you would have to look at data from repair shops, which you will never get. I can only speak from my own experience, but I've owned (in relative order of when the first was purchased) multiple vehicles from Dodge, Ford, Audi, Honda, Chevrolet, Saturn, Toyota, Volvo and some of their other sub-brands. I can honestly say I didn't find any of them that more reliable than others. Most were pretty much problem free until around 100,000 miles, and had a few repairs between 100,000 and 200,00 miles. Over 200,000 miles it's just a wait to see what breaks that makes the car no longer worth fixing. I can't say much about infotainment integration because the most integrated factory car I've owned is the Scion. Everything else has/had third party radios in it. I suppose I'll have to hold that judgement until the next car. As far as "affordability", GM and Ford are much cheaper to fix, followed by Japanese, then European.
