Stay away from any vehicles that have a turbo you’ll be always be taking it to the dealership for repairs 😂

As a lifelong Honda owner(I currently own a 2020 CR-V), I would admit that Toyota does have a slight edge in overall reliability. But the reason why I keep choosing Honda is because they are more fun to drive.

I like that your videos are short and to the point. No fluff, just facts 😊.

Biggest thing is how the company takes care of you if there is a major issue. Not only fix the issue but give you a loaner car and explain the issue without legal speak.

Excellent video for reliability comparison of Honda and Toyota but I would also like to see Mazda and Subaru in the mix. I realize you touched on Mazda but would be interested in a quad comparison of all 4 vehicles. Also, I would like to see the resale values of all four after 5 and 10 years of ownership.

My 2003 Camry V6 LE is still performing well.

For me: Civic > corolla Camry > accord Crv > rav 4 Highlander > pilot

My 2007 CR-V is still running like a champ!

It doesn’t matter how many times you tell us, we’re gonna watch your videos every time, great channel man 😂 !

Love this dude …great content ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Outstanding video!!!

OMG YESSSS SO HAPPY YOU BOUGHT TOYOTA WILL ALWAYS WIN MY HEART 1.reliability 2.resell value 3.drives so smooth 4.cheap on maintence 5.amazing on gas 6. no turbos on some models 7. all models come with hybrid

Awesome video 😊

Topguns #1 - Toyota #2 - Honda #3 - Subaru #4 - Mazda ❤️ 🇯🇵

Going back to '91, I've had two Hondas (both Civics) and 3 Toyotas (Sienna, Highlander and Corolla). While both Civics were good, they had more issues than the Toyotas. Even areas like paint quality and interior fits/finishes, the Toyotas won out in every case.

Great video

I've owned both makes. In my opinion Toyota is more reliable overall but Honda's are much more fun and engaging to drive.

My dad owned 2000 Land Cruiser Gold Badge rolled over 700k miles. I'm surprised that SUV still runs like a new SUV. I tried to get one LC300, but it is not available in the NA market, so I ended up getting 2024 4Runner LTD 4X4.

Great video, next Toyota vs Subaru please.

Great review bud!!! I currently have the 2025 Honda CR-V Sport L Hybrid 2.0L NA AWD. I drove many cars before the purchase. Honestly, I like the Honda more in the driving experience, space, comfy seat etc. Honda is a very reliable brand along with Toyota. You can't go wrong with either brand but I prefer Honda overall.

V6 honda > Toyota turbo. V4 Toyota with 2.5 liter > Honda v4 turbo.

Please look into this. In my country, there are hundreds of cases of honda cvts with broken steel belts. This involves many honda models with cvts. This is very alarming news as cost of repairs are astronomical. Cases are well documented.

Note how Toyota uses D4-S (direct and port injection) while Honda chose to go DI only.

13:40 Great point here!

Your comment from 12:20 on is very well said and needed to be pointed out. I couldn't have said it any better myself. 👌 Regarding these two vehicles considered in this video, my nod goes to the RAV4. The RAV4 is just the simpler of the two. For example, the RAV4 doesn't have a transmission. It uses Toyota's time proven Power Split Divider that has been in the Prius since day 1 and has proven to be virtually bulletproof. It simply uses the hybrids two electric motors along with a small planetary gear assembly that will fit in the palm of your hand to provide continuously variable power to the wheels. The CRV on the other hand uses a 2 speed hydraulically controlled automatic transmission with two clutches and several valves, supposedly to make it more fun to drive and give you "shift points" that make it seem more conventional. I've been in two CRV's (2024's) and two RAV4's (2019) and I preferred the ride experience of the RAV4. I own a 2018 Camry Hybrid which has the same 2.5 hybrid powerplant and I find it very enjoyable to drive. I don't see what the fuss is about not having shift points. Planes, jets, rockets, boats, snowmobiles don't have shift points and they do just fine. The CRV Hybrid with it's "transmission" adds another level of unnecessary complexity that is just another thing to require maintenance and repair. Also, with the RAV4, there is nothing between the front and rear axles connecting the rear AWD system to the engine. It just uses it's own electric motor back there to drive the rear wheels when needed. The CRV on the other hand has a full on mechanical AWD system with a transfer case, two piece driveshaft complete with carrier bearing and 4 U-joints, and a differential. All of which needs to be serviced and maintained. The RAV4 has none of that. Plus the CRV doesn't benefit from the regenerative braking that the rear electric motor in the RAV4 provides, and thus will wear the rear brakes out faster than the RAV4. The regenerative braking on hybrids makes their brakes last forever. But the real killer is the difference in real world MPG I've observed between my two friends that have the CRV Hybrids and the two that have RAV4 Hybrids. The two friends with the CRV's, I actually recommended that they buy them because they were having trouble finding RAV4's available to buy. The CRV's were readily available so they got those instead. The problem is that the two with the CRV's are only averaging 28-29 mpg, whereas the two with the RAV4's average 35-36 mpg. I feel bad now recommending they buy the CRV's. So that along with the simpler less mechanical/complicated approach of the RAV4's drive system turns my head to give the nod to the RAV4.

Hi Shari absolutely love your videos, can you make a reliability video on the new chinese cars like geely, Gac, Jac, Jetour, Haval these cars are more prominent in Australia, Philippines and UAE apart from china

Toyota Clearly

I wanted to buy the Rav 4 XSE HYBRID in 2022. Three year waiting list!

As a Lexus master tech for over 16 years I still drive a 2018 Honda 2.0 EXL Reasons been that they are both reliable brands but Honda is more fun , features and looks

Any update video coming on the Toyota Grand Highlander ?

I like both but I think the civic handles and ride much better against the corolla in the 2024 models. I would definitely avoid the turbo in Honda. Overall, its the toyota

We have to factor in Mechanics that intentionally damage your car to get you to spend more money

Between the two (Toyota #2 and Honda #4), Mazda (#3) offers the best quality/price ratio, matching reliability, low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and plenty of fun. That's why my favourite drive is my Miata ND2 RF G-184, in front of the Suzuki Jimny 4x4 or the Lexus (#1) hybrid (all champions of their respective segments).

The k20C and k series engines engines are the most reliable engines in the history of automobile.... Especially when you factor in max power output, engine abuse, engine retunning and also considering its a 4 cylinder...

How's the cablegate issue in Rav4 hybrids ? Is it resolved yet or a cut in the orange shield is the only fix ?

1.5 liter turbo in the Honda is a hard pass. I worry Toyota will soon have a turbo in the new design Rav 4. If that happens neither Honda nor Toyota will be worth buying.

Honda all the way❤❤Honda perfected fun and reliability. Toyota perfected boring and reliability

If you are comparing the "best," you need at least three items in your comparison. If you're comparing two items, the caption would read, "Which is better?" Ditto for "more" (two items to compare) and "most" (three or more items to compare).

Honda all day😊

For the most part, l concur with this excellent analysis and opinion.Toyota/Lexus build great cars. Honda/Acura build great cars, but their pricing is getting prickly, espescially in Canada. Mazdas are also terrific, but behind on the Hybrid curve. Putting Subaru with these guys is a bit of a stretch.

Could you compare body and frame rust resistance between the two manufacturers....whose vehicles will rot away the least?

Can you do a video on the reliability of Infiniti vehicles? Particularly the Q60 and Q50. Thanks.

Isn’t there a 1.5L turbo in the Honda CRV. With the heat & pressure these engines are designed to fail. The money you save on gas will be spent on maintenance. If you get a CVT I would change the transmission fluid every 50,000 KM.

Help here!!! I’m looking for used 3 row SUV. Hard to choose between Highlander and Pilot 2017-2019 models

Toyota's Japanese factories are incredible. Toyota/Lexus are moving some of their vehicles back to Japan, because American plants don't have the same build quality. All Honda's are built in the US and none are built in Japan. We used to be a Honda and Acura family, though moved away because Honda's interiors are loud, tech is old, and Honda's interiors are built with cheap materials.

I’d say both are good, but just stick to a Honda with a 2.0 engine if you want longevity for your car’s value as well for your money’s value

@Shari how about Subaru compared with Toyota,I m planning to by 2025 new Forester, Is it worth to buy over Rav4 , or should I go with Mazda I m new to USA and doesn't know which to buy

I noticed that Mini is really high on that list, between Toyota and Honda.

You should have also included Subaru !

Do you know any diference

I have a 2014 Toyota Prius. 225,000 miles with absolutely NO repairs. Nuff said.

You have to specify how they are with the rust. Because I'm not very good at this chapter 😒

Buy Honda or Toyota. You will never go wrong. They are the most reliable brands.

Toyota's top selling 2022/2023 Tundra truck is under a recall for engine failure. Also under recall is the Toyota 2022/2023 Lexus LX . Scotty Kilmer says keep a close eye on Toyota, bc they are not making them as good as they used to AND it takes a LONG time for a company to no longer be seen as reliable as it once was. : )

What's up with Mini being 3rd on Consumer reports reliability list? That can't be true.

I used to be a Honda fan but their button gear selector sucks. There’s zero point in it. It doesn’t save space and give you more storage and it’s there because they wanted it for no reason. My Tesla’s gear selector is on the stalks and Tesla gave me more storage. Also there non touch screen screen sucks on the Acura. Why don’t they get that touching the screen is faster than using that stupid touch pad? As for reliability I don’t t mind either.

I have just started watching your channel and I do enjoy it.. I was wondering if you could help out some poor Americans who feel obligated to buy "American" brands? If you could lump Chevy/Ford/Stellantis sedans and SUV's into a group and rate them in order so if you had to buy American at least you could chose the least objectionable ones. Thank you.

I've owned both. The Toyotas do seem to be in better condition when they turn over 250 K than the Hondas are. Actually anything Japanese is OK by me. Except Nissan. Won't do that again.

Costly reliability repairs tend to be non engine issues but other little things like my Honda 2018 CRV air conditioning issues veery year for three years that cost me over $1000 each time until I changed Honda dealership repair shops. I don't know if the problem is the dealership or the car.

Mazda /toyota / Honda in that order

cna you do a video on the 2024 tucson hybrid limited, i want your opinion on it.

Most cars have turbo engines these days. But I would stay away from Toyota twin turbo V6 engines. Lots of issues lately with these powertrain going bad. Just do a KZfaq search and the proof is in the pudding. They will eventually get this right but it may take a few years. Their best bet is to use the inline Twin Power turbo from the Supra which has been proven very reliable for many years. It can yield lots of power and can take lots of abuse. That engine will have no problem moving any vehicle from a small coupe (Supra), a 4 door car, to a mid and full size 3 row SUV. Until they get their new V6 Twin Turbo as reliable as their previous powertrain, I would stay away from vehicles that include engine for now. Edit: We have no lemon law here in Canada and if a customer gets stuck with a bad engine from lets say a Tundra with the Twin Turbo V6, all Toyota can do is keep fixing it. This will inconvenience any customer who just spent a boat load of money for one of these vehicles. In the states with lemon laws, the car can be bought back by the dealer if it spends a certain amount of time in the dealer for repairs.

I own a Honda with a 2.0 engine, and I also equipped it with a set of exquisite Witamats floor mats, which is so cool.

Neither are reliable as they once where. My dads 2024 Toyota Corolla had to have its electric parking brake fixed with less than 500 miles. He traded his 2020 Honda Civic for the Corolla, because the Honda dealership couldn't fix it's navigation problem. It only had 32,000 miles on it.

GJ! Pls consider reviewing the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV Also the Nissan Rouge and Sentra And finally, a car with a Chinese platform like Volvo or Lotus Appreciated!

Toyota vs. Honda: A Detailed Comparison Choosing between Toyota and Honda is a common dilemma for car buyers, as both brands are renowned for their reliability, efficiency, and value. While they share many similarities, there are key differences that make one brand a better fit for certain individuals than the other. This analysis will delve into various aspects of both brands, examining their strengths and weaknesses to help you make an informed decision. Brand Approach and Target Market Toyota positions itself as a practical and reliable brand, focusing on producing vehicles that prioritize usability and dependability over sporty performance. They often target a broader market, including budget-conscious buyers seeking value for their money. Honda, on the other hand, emphasizes sporty design and performance, aiming to deliver an enjoyable driving experience. They tend to target a slightly higher-end market, appealing to those seeking more advanced technology and features. Reliability and Durability Both brands are known for their exceptional reliability, but Toyota consistently ranks higher in various reliability studies. Their vehicles are often praised for their longevity, with many owners reporting driving their Toyotas well over 200,000 miles with minimal repairs. Honda is also a reliable brand, but Toyota's reputation for durability and long-lasting quality is widely recognized. Safety Features Both brands offer comprehensive safety suites, but Honda has a slight edge in terms of advanced technology and features. Their Honda Sensing® system pioneered collision mitigation automatic braking and includes features like lane-keeping assist and semi-autonomous driving modes. Toyota's Toyota Safety Sense™ also offers a robust suite of driver assistance features, but it may not be as comprehensive as Honda Sensing in certain areas. Performance and Efficiency Honda vehicles generally offer more agile handling and engaging performance, making them a favorite among driving enthusiasts. Toyota prioritizes a smooth and comfortable driving experience, often focusing on refinement and quietness. In terms of fuel efficiency, both brands are industry leaders, with Toyota having a longer history in the hybrid market. However, Honda has been catching up in recent years with models like the Insight and the Accord Hybrid. Pricing and Value Toyota models typically have lower starting prices compared to comparable Honda models. Honda vehicles often come with more standard features and higher-quality interiors, which can justify their slightly higher price tag. When considering long-term value, Toyota generally holds its value better than Honda, resulting in lower depreciation and potentially lower insurance costs. Model Lineup and Variety Toyota offers a wider range of models, including more hybrid and alternative fuel options. Their lineup includes popular models like the Corolla, Camry, RAV4, and Tundra. Honda offers a more streamlined lineup, but their models are often highly regarded, including the Civic, Accord, CR-V, and Pilot. Conclusion Ultimately, the "better" brand between Toyota and Honda depends on your individual needs and priorities. Toyota is the better choice for those seeking: - Exceptional reliability and durability - Lower purchase price and maintenance costs - Higher resale value - A wider range of models, including more hybrid options Honda is the better choice for those seeking: - Sportier performance and handling - More advanced technology and features - Higher-quality interiors - A more streamlined lineup with popular and well-regarded models By carefully considering these key factors and your individual preferences, you can make an informed decision about which brand best suits your needs and budget.

Look underside and ask questions

Wait a minute! Consumer Reports ranked the Mini #3 ahead of Acura and Honda?

👍

In the 80’s-90’s Honda and Toyota were the same reliable vehicles, but now Honda is having major issues. Even some Toyota models are suffering from outsourcing. Stick to a Toyota is your best bet. I hear the new Sienna is super reliable. Any model using the 2.5 four cylinder engine is a workhorse. The new turbo v6 is having issues.

Honda is a better quality of manufacturing. Toyota is for the masses .

Q: honda vs. toyota ? A: mazda

Review on mini cooper in used market n reliability n maintenance

Wait till 2025 Camry's get here with all hybrids. Good luck.

I had a '14 Accord...bought new. Hated it. Have a '24 Corolla hybrid on order. Due here next month from Japan.

I'll put my VQ engine in my Murano up against any of this new turbocharged crap. No direct injection, no cylinder deactivation, no turbo, no start stop etc! And no timing belt to change every 100K.

I would like to see the particular vehicles from other brands that are reliable.

No contest. Toyota is the most reliable, durable and known for best quality.

Crv > rav 4

I do enjoy your videos and generally the work you guys do. That said this video to me is next to pointless.

Honda is now below BMW in reliability. I loved Honda since the 1960’s with motorcycle and ended up with a 1997 Honda Del Sol which I still own The car I bought new. Honda has cheapened theirs until it has the reached the level of crap. Sochiro Honda would not be pleased! Turbo charged , direct injected , variable speed transmission and an electronic view control panel that when it fails it is throw away time. Yes Honda at one time was great. It just like Mercedes is living on its past cars

Honda has gone from being a reliable brand, but I noticed from the 2013 Accord onwards Honda has started using the cheap parts to put in their cars

Neither of these two any more. Haven’t you heard that they were recently caught systematically cheating on their safety testing results for many years?!

I’ll stick to Honda now because they kept their V6 while Toyota phased it out and had to recall their new vehicles (trucks and grand highlander).

I strictly follow the maintenance instructions on all my vehicles. I have owned numerous Toyota, Honda and Mazda products. Toyota has proven to be the most reliable, but Honda is very close. I had a Corolla that had 360,000 miles and was still reliable transportation when I sold it. Also had a Civic with 245,000 miles that was reliable when I sold it. Both manufacturers make reliable vehicles and don’t cost a fortune to maintain. On the other hand, I have had 5 Mazdas and they last to about 120,000 miles before major issues crop up. I needed new transmissions at that point for 2 of these vehicles. I would not put them in the same category as a Toyota or Honda. Ironically, I have had good reliability with my Hyundai products as well and would definitely choose them over Mazda.

My imho IF we're not going to drive cars for over a decade (5-7 years average), then. HR-V is one gen better than Corolla Cross (stupid name, imho - they could go with CH-R name, Matrix or smth new). Both are 2L dumb, but Toyota is dummer. Civic is two gens better than Corolla. Possibly up to 3 gens better than any competitor. End of discussion. Accord is slightly, but still better than Camry. If we compare 2025 hybrids. 1.5T Accord imho looses to 2.5 Camry in reliability, but, keeping in mind average owning term is still better. My bet is on Accord. CR-V in at least one gen better than RAV-4, as for hybrids. Prime, on the other hand, ... it is still worse than CR-V, but cheap to "fuel" while (unnecessary) more powerful. So IF you drive 25k+ miles a year AND can charge it at home - ok, maybe, you, cheap little creep ;-) Pilot is slightly better than Highlander. But. Toyota has quite few aces in a sleeve: Prius and Prius Prime Crown - sedan and, especially, wagon Tacoma (cannot wait for NA release) Scout

Mazda cx-50 better than this 2

Toyota is the best then Subaru... Honda would be third.

The Honda V6 still has a timing belt that needs to be changed every 100 to 150 thousand miles.

Honda's new ground breaking oil dilution technology 👍🤣 govt is forcing manufacturers hand into producing problematic small turbo boosted engines due to environmental concerns. lets assign blame where it belongs. vehicles are engineered specifically to save the manufacturers money during the production process and if they turn out to be reliable then so be it.

If the supposed oil dilution issue is such a major problem, then why isn't YT flooded with videos and channels about these engine failures? And why haven't the MILLIONS of cars sold with the 1.5T tanked in resale value? Honda is a true engine company and they know what they're doing. They would have stopped selling this engine if it was supposedly so defective. This tuber has 500K miles on his with no engine or tranny problems!

I bought a new 2009 Honda Accord at the end of the year. 15 years later, the only thing that I have had to replace is a new pulley on the idler arm assembly. That's it. The rest has all been maintenance. I would never buy a 4 cylinder turbo-charged engine. It is far to stressful on the small engine. There is interior ware, but everything works like it did when I bought it. I hate the cladder that comes from Korean 4 cylinder engines. Our 190 hp 4 cyl. is still quiet and smooth running.

How about genesis?

I say Mazda is most trustworthy nowadays.

Both are just shadows of the companies that they used to be in terms of design & build quality. My 2020 Toyota was the worst vehicle that I have owned in over 40 years & 10 new Toyota, Honda & Acura vehicles during that time. Ditched the vehicles after only 2 years & 10K miles due to all the problems/issues it had.

Toyota and Honda still don’t have proper anti theft protection. Why don’t they have like two factor authentication process to start the car or something like that!! Type of Security we have on iPhone theft

Reliable? Did you not see all the recalls for Toyota? From what I wish a review would do an honest Toyota deep dive that’s happening now we have a recall vehicle that we cannot drive and Toyota does not have a solution to their problem. They won’t take the car back all they’re saying is to hold tight.

CRV and Accord hybrid are more refined and handle better than the rattly-ass 4 banger in the Toyota system. Honda wins for me.

Toyota is like a Maytag. Very reliable. No personality.
