Engineer Ranks Japanese Car Brands BEST To WORST In Build Quality

I'm a little surprised because this was my exact same brand opinion ranking prior to watching this video. The guy interviewing the engineer said something about surprises, but there were absolutely zero surprised for me...lol. If I was shopping, would look at #1 first, then #2, then #3. There is only one model from #4 that I would consider. As of today, I would not buy a car from #5 or #6.

TSO has a 2013 Prius, I have a 2017 Accord. Both stalwart and reliable.

CVTs were a disaster, but everyone's CVTs were, right?
