    As a lifelong Honda owner(I currently own a 2020 CR-V), I would admit that Toyota does have a slight edge in overall reliability. But the reason why I keep choosing Honda is because they are more fun to drive.

      I used to have a Honda Civic Sport 2 decades ago, but Honda has gone down in reliability, but up in price/TCO and except the Type R (unfortunately FWD) there is nothing amazing like the old S2000...

    Your comment from 12:20 on is very well said and needed to be pointed out. I couldn't have said it any better myself. 👌
    Regarding these two vehicles considered in this video, my nod goes to the RAV4. The RAV4 is just the simpler of the two. For example, the RAV4 doesn't have a transmission. It uses Toyota's time proven Power Split Divider that has been in the Prius since day 1 and has proven to be virtually bulletproof. It simply uses the hybrids two electric motors along with a small planetary gear assembly that will fit in the palm of your hand to provide continuously variable power to the wheels. The CRV on the other hand uses a 2 speed hydraulically controlled automatic transmission with two clutches and several valves, supposedly to make it more fun to drive and give you "shift points" that make it seem more conventional. I've been in two CRV's (2024's) and two RAV4's (2019) and I preferred the ride experience of the RAV4. I own a 2018 Camry Hybrid which has the same 2.5 hybrid powerplant and I find it very enjoyable to drive. I don't see what the fuss is about not having shift points. Planes, jets, rockets, boats, snowmobiles don't have shift points and they do just fine. The CRV Hybrid with it's "transmission" adds another level of unnecessary complexity that is just another thing to require maintenance and repair. Also, with the RAV4, there is nothing between the front and rear axles connecting the rear AWD system to the engine. It just uses it's own electric motor back there to drive the rear wheels when needed. The CRV on the other hand has a full on mechanical AWD system with a transfer case, two piece driveshaft complete with carrier bearing and 4 U-joints, and a differential. All of which needs to be serviced and maintained. The RAV4 has none of that. Plus the CRV doesn't benefit from the regenerative braking that the rear electric motor in the RAV4 provides, and thus will wear the rear brakes out faster than the RAV4. The regenerative braking on hybrids makes their brakes last forever.
    But the real killer is the difference in real world MPG I've observed between my two friends that have the CRV Hybrids and the two that have RAV4 Hybrids. The two friends with the CRV's, I actually recommended that they buy them because they were having trouble finding RAV4's available to buy. The CRV's were readily available so they got those instead. The problem is that the two with the CRV's are only averaging 28-29 mpg, whereas the two with the RAV4's average 35-36 mpg. I feel bad now recommending they buy the CRV's. So that along with the simpler less mechanical/complicated approach of the RAV4's drive system turns my head to give the nod to the RAV4.

After discovering this, I’ll probably pick up a Forester.

      Mechanics damage your vehicle to make more money. This is a terrible thing that I don’t doubt is going on. There are also mechanics working on cars that are unqualified, not trained properly, using incorrect parts, tools or incorrect diagnoses that are part of the problem. I recall the advice that if you find an honest mechanic that treats you well, treat him like gold. Improper owner operation of their vehicles I feel is not mentioned enough. Consists partly of poor maintenance, improper operation of the vehicle, declining necessary repairs and not following recommended repairs. The last point is difficult since many repairs just don’t always consist of one problem.

    For the most part, l concur with this excellent analysis and opinion.Toyota/Lexus build great cars. Honda/Acura build great cars, but their pricing is getting prickly, espescially in Canada. Mazdas are also terrific, but behind on the Hybrid curve. Putting Subaru with these guys is a bit of a stretch.

    Toyota vs. Honda: A Detailed Comparison
    Choosing between Toyota and Honda is a common dilemma for car buyers, as both brands are renowned for their reliability, efficiency, and value. While they share many similarities, there are key differences that make one brand a better fit for certain individuals than the other. This analysis will delve into various aspects of both brands, examining their strengths and weaknesses to help you make an informed decision.
    Brand Approach and Target Market
    Toyota positions itself as a practical and reliable brand, focusing on producing vehicles that prioritize usability and dependability over sporty performance. They often target a broader market, including budget-conscious buyers seeking value for their money.
    Honda, on the other hand, emphasizes sporty design and performance, aiming to deliver an enjoyable driving experience. They tend to target a slightly higher-end market, appealing to those seeking more advanced technology and features.
    Reliability and Durability
    Both brands are known for their exceptional reliability, but Toyota consistently ranks higher in various reliability studies. Their vehicles are often praised for their longevity, with many owners reporting driving their Toyotas well over 200,000 miles with minimal repairs.
    Honda is also a reliable brand, but Toyota's reputation for durability and long-lasting quality is widely recognized.
    Safety Features
    Both brands offer comprehensive safety suites, but Honda has a slight edge in terms of advanced technology and features. Their Honda Sensing® system pioneered collision mitigation automatic braking and includes features like lane-keeping assist and semi-autonomous driving modes.
    Toyota's Toyota Safety Sense™ also offers a robust suite of driver assistance features, but it may not be as comprehensive as Honda Sensing in certain areas.
    Performance and Efficiency
    Honda vehicles generally offer more agile handling and engaging performance, making them a favorite among driving enthusiasts.
    Toyota prioritizes a smooth and comfortable driving experience, often focusing on refinement and quietness.
    In terms of fuel efficiency, both brands are industry leaders, with Toyota having a longer history in the hybrid market. However, Honda has been catching up in recent years with models like the Insight and the Accord Hybrid.
    Pricing and Value
    Toyota models typically have lower starting prices compared to comparable Honda models.
    Honda vehicles often come with more standard features and higher-quality interiors, which can justify their slightly higher price tag.
    When considering long-term value, Toyota generally holds its value better than Honda, resulting in lower depreciation and potentially lower insurance costs.
    Model Lineup and Variety
    Toyota offers a wider range of models, including more hybrid and alternative fuel options. Their lineup includes popular models like the Corolla, Camry, RAV4, and Tundra.
    Honda offers a more streamlined lineup, but their models are often highly regarded, including the Civic, Accord, CR-V, and Pilot.
    Conclusion
    Ultimately, the "better" brand between Toyota and Honda depends on your individual needs and priorities.
    Toyota is the better choice for those seeking:
    - Exceptional reliability and durability
    - Lower purchase price and maintenance costs
    - Higher resale value
    - A wider range of models, including more hybrid options
    Honda is the better choice for those seeking:
    - Sportier performance and handling
    - More advanced technology and features
    - Higher-quality interiors
    - A more streamlined lineup with popular and well-regarded models
    By carefully considering these key factors and your individual preferences, you can make an informed decision about which brand best suits your needs and budget.

    If you are comparing the "best," you need at least three items in your comparison. If you're comparing two items, the caption would read, "Which is better?" Ditto for "more" (two items to compare) and "most" (three or more items to compare).

One issue I have heard a lot is that Toyota hybrids have issues with their batteries way more often than Hondas do. Maybe where you come from and where the surveys took place, they don't keep the cars long enough to have those issues. It's just the bit of knowledge I can share.

Motor was stripped and no measurable wear was found. It was a great engine. Pity Nissan lowered its quality standards.

    Toyota's Japanese factories are incredible. Toyota/Lexus are moving some of their vehicles back to Japan, because American plants don't have the same build quality. All Honda's are built in the US and none are built in Japan. We used to be a Honda and Acura family, though moved away because Honda's interiors are loud, tech is old, and Honda's interiors are built with cheap materials.

    7:50 Saying that Toyota maintenance will cost you 6000$ after 10 years is purely false. I just brought my 2012 RAV 4 in for maintenance, oil change, realignment, and got my breaks tightened as well as changing my tires from summers to winters and it only costed me 650$. So you’re looking at about 1300$ per year and I take mine to the dealership so it’s not cheap.

      They get in and then they get out the next year/s.
      That's why it's better to use an average weight for the last few years when looking at such rankings. Then you will have at the top only the best Japanese brands and the clunkers like Mini, BMW, Kia, Hyundai, Audi, Infiniti, Buick, RAM, Dodge out of Top 10 Reliability.
