Reliability and brand reputation can play a huge role in deciding your next vehicle, especially with the stigma attached to pre-owned models. However, in addition to our expansive selection of vehicles, our used car dealership in Lima is here to provide you with the top five most reliable car brands to consider.

Most Reliable Car Brands of 2023

Consumer Reports conducted a survey to determine reliability for each car brand by asking its members about problems they've had with their vehicles in the previous 12 months. For 2023, CR gathered data on over 330,000 vehicles, from the 2000 to 2023 model years, along with some from 2024.


Through various trouble areas and weighing the severity of each type of problem, they've created a reliability score that has resulted in the following brands landing in the top five:


  1. Lexus (predicted reliability score of 79)
  2. Toyota (predicted reliability score of 76)
  3. Mini (predicted reliability score of 71)
  4. Acura (predicted reliability score of 70)
  5. Honda (predicted reliability score of 70)

Models like the Honda Accord, Toyota RAV4 and Toyota Corolla are seen on roads everywhere for good reason. Through great performance, efficiency and durability, drivers can depend on these vehicles time and time again. If your preferred brand of choice didn't land in the top five, that doesn't mean it's unreliable - we welcome you to test drive any vehicle on our lot to ensure that it suits your needs and daily lifestyle.
