Specifically the yearly model with all of the scientific data from all the consumers. A lot of real world info there. I don't usually follow their car reviews, as that is subjective to each person. But real world reliability statistics do not lie. And a Honda is not nearly reliable as a Toyota. And Nissan hahahaha

My uncle used to have a classic Mercedes 250 C Coupe. He got rear ended at a freeway off ramp stoplight. His insurance company didn't give him what he felt it was worth. He bought a big, new Chrysler sedan after that. It was decent...no major problems in the 165k + miles of ownership. They traded that in on another big, new Chrysler sedan. When that second Chrysler had about 65k on it, the engine went out while they were at a place in Sisters, Oregon that they rent for a few weeks a year. No warranty. My uncle paid for the new engine, and the minute they got back he traded it in for a brand new ES Lexus sedan. They love it! When my aunt's Acura started to get a bit long in the tooth, my uncle bought her an RX SUV. When my uncle's two daughters saw how satisfied they were, their husbands bought G series for them, one the SUV, and one the sedan. Even more Lexus purchases happened after that. Other family members have BMWs, Audis, and Volvos, but I wonder if they will eventually follow to Lexus. I may be the only one with a non Lexus Toyota . One family member went from a Mazda Tribute (engine failed at about the same mileage my uncle's Chrysler did ) to a Subie and couldn't be happier. I'm more likely to compliment my silver Yaris in the future with a Subie than anything else. Another household in the family has a Sentra and a big Saturn SUV. The Sentra hasn't been as reliable as my blue Yaris (my silver Yaris = not enough miles to be a test of reliability)
