I would agree with your ratings with some slight tweaks. I think Honda
and Toyota should be both share the Number 1 position. I'm not sure on
the Nissan and Mazda positions though, as both have had their share of
reliability and build-quality problems lately. Hyundai's reliability
and build-quality has improved tremendously, and I'm not too sure they
couldn't move up a notch or possibly two. This manufacturer is really
improving its product significantly with each model launch, and they've
been reliable except for this first USA model back in the '80s - the
Excel. And, I wouldn't place Daewoo ahead of those below it. If
anything, Daewoo should be on the bottom. Since Hyundai-corporate
bought Kia, cash strapped Kia has improved also. Take a careful look at
the 2005/2006 Spectra and you will see what I mean. As a side-note, my
son has a 1996 Galant ES sedan with over 130K on the clock, and he
hasn't had any problems. It was built at the Bloomington-Normal,
Illinois Mitsu plant.
