I would actually rank Toyota a bit higher than Honda, only because of
issues with Honda automatic transmissions mated to V6 engines. Honda
appears to have the issue resolved, but we'll just have to wait a few
years to see if the fix holds up.

I would also rank Kia higher than Daewoo, although that's not saying much
right now. But since some newer Kia's are now essentially rebadged
Hyundai's, that may result in some increase in reliability for Kia. I
also believe Hyundai has surpassed Mazda, as Mazda's reliability has
really gone downhill in recent years. Even Nissan's reliability has been
slipping quite a bit as of late.
