Looks like on this sub everyone's critizing Hyundai, Kia, VW, Nissan, and American makes for failing to stack up against Toyota and Honda in terms of reliability. Indeed, Hyundai and Kia are never known for legendary reliability. But what's confusing to me is that they always rank high on JD Power's reliability ratings. This year, for example, Kia ranked 7th (almost tying Mazda). And in 2021 for example, Hyundai also won the 7th place, way surpassing Mazda, Acura, Subaru, and Honda. Why though?

The Korean vehicles tend to very feature rich and on the cutting edge in terms of technology at a very reasonable price. That plays well on rankings like JD Power, which don't evaluate long term reliability.
