Car buyers think brand reputation guarantees reliability — but what if your favorite brand is secretly the worst? In this video, I reveal the 2025 ranking of all major car brands, from the least reliable money pits to the bulletproof legends that last a lifetime. Using real data from J.D. Power’s 2025 Vehicle Dependability Study and Consumer Reports’ brand reliability rankings, we uncover the truth behind every badge — from Fiat to Toyota — and reveal which automakers are quietly failing their loyal customers. 👀 One of the world’s most popular luxury brands landed in the bottom five — and another brand you’ve probably ignored completely is now in the top three. If you’re thinking of buying a car in 2025, you need to see this list first. In this full ranking, we evaluate: • 25 major car brands — from worst to best • 2025 reliability scores based on verified owner surveys • Resale value, repair costs, and overall satisfaction • Why luxury doesn’t always mean reliable • Which affordable brands are outperforming the big names We cover everything — from Fiat’s ongoing reliability disaster to Toyota’s unshakable reign, Subaru’s shock rise to the top, and Lexus’ near-perfect engineering consistency. You’ll also see why brands like Buick, Mazda, and Hyundai are now beating luxury competitors, and why Land Rover, Maserati, and Jaguar continue to sink in every survey despite high price tags. Whether you’re shopping for a compact car, SUV, or luxury ride, this ranking could save you thousands in repair bills and depreciation.
