I'll stick with Consumer Reports. They actually ask people about repairs, not just whether or not they're happy enough with the car to keep sinking money into it.

CR is VERY biased. Often they rate one brand high and another that is the same vehicle just re-badged very very low for reasons that have nothing to do with the differences. CR lost me as a fan with their very flawed biased testing of the Suzuki Samurai and Isuzu Trooper. Tests done only on those vehicles and not on others in the same category. Tests modified repeatedly until these two failed. No thanks.

X2 on not being a CR fan. They rated the Toyota Matrix higher than the Pontiac Vibe. How could that be? Identical cars save for the badging. They lost me back in the '80s when they bashed Corvettes for not having enough cargo space and trucks for riding like, well, trucks. The rigged child car seat tests a few years back shows that they are still up to their usual shenanigans.

The reality is that today they are few truly "bad" vehicles you can buy. And every one of them will easily go well over 200k with regular maintenance and keeping up with repairs as they are needed.
