I know reliability rankings change year to year and each methodology will be different from focusing on minor complaints (initial JD Powers satisfaction survey) to actual major repairs / failure post warranty, which probably aren't as publicized.
Having been proud owner of Honda vehicles in the past and a 16 RAV hybrid, I can understand how some car makers produce cars that just have a lower total cost of ownership. We've had no issues with the vehicle and now I'm realizing maybe the extra $2,500 CAD we spent on the 7-year extended warranty was for naught.
Even just by reading discussions here on on ClubLexus makes me believe people who like owning their cars for the long-term and don't have time to take their cars repeatedly to the dealership, tend to select Toyota or Lexus.
Is my understanding accurate that with a Lexus, we can have decent performance, features, price all with a much lower total cost of ownership over other brands (German, Korean, etc.)?
