Why are Japanese cars considered to be more reliable than US or European cars? - LemmyWorld

It’s just a generalization that in my opinion is not true. The only time that statement would be true is when talking about Toyota or Honda, but Nissan or Subaru for example, I would not say they’re more reliable than a lot of more reliable US and Euro cars just because they are Japanese.
This is it, Toyota/Honda built that reputation and mostly still live up to it.
