It might not be an opinion, it's also not true. Here's a quote from autobytel:
"10 Most Reliable Used Sedans for 2015
Any list of the most reliable used sedans on the market doesn't really hold any surprises. That one word - reliable - implies dependability, which explains why offerings from Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai are regular features of any best used car list. You'll also notice that there are a few luxury models on our most reliable used sedan round-up, which seems counter-intuitive. Given the number of fancy features offered by these models, it would seem safe to assume that vehicles equipped with such upmarket gadgetry would be more likely to fail in long-term use due to their complexity and cutting edge technology. It's a testament, then, to the investment made by each of these premium brands that high end vehicles can stand beside entry-level compacts when it comes to dependability.
1. Toyota Avalon
2. Subaru Imprenza
3. Honda Accord
4. Toyota Camry
5. Lexus ES
6. Hyundai Elantra
7. Acura RL
8. Infiniti G37
9. Toyota Corolla
10. Hyundai Sonata"
Not a US manufacturer to be found.
The biggest problem with US cars is that while Honda and Toyota keep cranking out the Accord/Civic and the Camry/Corolla, year after year, making them better, more reliable, more economical, more comfortable, more affordable, the big three make new models every few years. The new models have their share of problems, which get straightened out just in time to make another new model in three or four years. The other big issue is labor which we can't discuss here.
