The secret to Japanese car reliability - REVEALED!

Complete this sentence: The greatest Japanese car ever made is...

I would say broadly that European manufactures prioritise innovation, performance and developing new technologies, whereas Japanese prioritise quality and refinement of existing technology and innovation second.

why do you have to see your face over the video? see a doctor about that

Kaizen

American car companies try to mimic the look of Japanese cars without any of the engineering required to make it reliable. Japan car companies know exactly what metals to use in their engine to avoid early wear that will lead to failures.

I have 2 Japanese vehicles one is a 26 year old Toyota hilux and it is built so well it still going really well and the other ones a 2 year old Suzuki Beleno GLX which Toyota have badge ut as the Toyota Starlet and in South Africa you buy the Suzuki Beleno and the Toyota Starlet and they are the same car

When i was younger i asked my dad why we had 2 hondas in the driveway. 20 years on, we still have one of them. That set my heart on honda, so i went off and bought one. The 3 hondas we've had in the family are an 89 integera, that got sold because we needed a bigger car at the time. 1991 until 2006. A 1999 honda accord, we still have that. 1999 until present. And a 2014 honda civic. 2022 until present

I think all you have to say on the subject is interesting but, bizzarely, you neglected to make even the slightest mention of what in my opinion is the number one reason the Japanese make the most reliable cars, viz the Japanese mindset. Ninety‐nine point nine percent perfection isn't remotely good enough for the Japanese car worker, it absolutely must be one hundred percent excellence each and every time they do their job. In short it's the difference in East/West cultural attitudes that's key.

I'm about to buy a used Toyota Corolla and the fact that it's made here in the UK worries me a great deal; I'd feel a billion times happier were it built in Japan. Fingers crossed....

Japan builds bad cars,,they just dont sell them. Unlike ford or gm who end up with units full of detective cars which came off line. They patch them up and sell on. Toyota etc halt production to fix issue then carry on.

Subaru is Japanese too.

ISIS: We love Toyota

In Canada you see 25 years old honda toyota everyday -35 boys no texas weather no german crap audi mercedes bmw

Lexus is Toyota :D

My dad in 2001 to mom's first car what car should i by anything besides Peugeot

Reliability should be the primary focus in all products mankind creates. the longer a product can be used, the more reliable it is, the less raw materials are required. The better it is for the environment and our descendants and the world. probs to Japanese engineering philosophy and skills.

BRITISH MATT WATSON?

I'm amazed at their reliability. But it's not just their cars. $20 fountain pen from Japan writes better and lasts longer than $300 German, French, British, American pens. Same with electronics, heavy machines, on and on...

Its upside down in Indonesia. Here, car like Toyota is popular (right) but have bad quality compared Toyota in Japan or Europe (maybe)

German car makes fun of you because when you have a flat they give you a yellow orange doughnut not a full size spare

Yeah true completly

great video

Simple answer: They are Japanese, it’s in their culture and attitude.

Still in india toyota qualis is running over 5,00,000 kms

You know why Japanese people so smart? Because they send their people to Namec.... LMFAO

I have a 2016 Mazda 3 from new...not a single issue in 6 years of ownership.

And that’s why I owned Honda but nothing else.

I understand it was BMW who pioneered the use of plastic parts under the bonnet..(water pumps, thermostat housings etc) . VW quickly followed. I’m sure Toyota we’re watching this trend with interest, possibly focusing on the longer term parts failure stats and anecdotal customer reports. Here in Australia plastic parts are known to have a limited life due to the continued ambient heat, sitting under a hot bonnet in a vehicle which hasn’t been driven since yesterday. Cracked radiators, thermostat housings, turbo pipes etc have been experienced repeatedly by owners.
I wonder if Toyota, and other Japanese makers, are now using more plastics under hood? If so, the compounds used may be more flexible etc?

zee not zed

They have THE best transport system in the world

I rented a Toyota 4 Runner for a month this past summer. it had 12,000 miles on it. I visited my brother who has a 10+ year old 4 Runner with over 200,000 miles on it. There was no noticeable difference in how they felt to drive.

Save your money if you have Japanese car and enjoy buy your head from headaches

3;17 a hint of a poke at the germans there lol

So what happened during the new supra time

Ok, so the secret is that they decided to make the cars reliable. I see.

Lmao my aunt driving a Subaru from 2007 till now without any maintenance and it’s still running fine

They are maybe reliable but they rust a lot,so bottom line there is one advantage of this you don't need to recycle them they are self-recycle cars.

Greatest Japanese car ever made is Nissan GTR r34

Missing the point..it is intention behind the action and toyota care about workers as they have nothing to care about themselves

"Japan makes reliable cars".. yeah I don't think Nissan got the memo 🤔

With 2030 in sight, why has Toyota not produce a reliable EV already?and it is now lagging behind Leaf,Tesla and E-niro.

No nissans? Well I agree only reliable nissans are the infiniti line I found they were built better than regular Nissan but Japan are the best

Do a drag race with a lexus lfa and a aventador svj

As well as reliability, Japenese culture and ethos includes premium customer service as a matter of respect. Respect for customers is reflected as respect for nation and self. It is this respect and pride in workmanship that was missing from the West who just concentrated on profit and cheapness.

I drive a Lexus F Sport RX450h as featured. It is the best car I've ever owned. Those who scoff that it's not the fastest...real world 0-60 in 6.8secs (as tested) is fast enough for anyone and huge combined torque = effortless overtakes. It does this whilst carrying 4 in complete luxury and is capable of going around the earth 10 times before you need worry about anything major on that lovely v6 engine. Can you see any landrover or jag managing this? No. They'd need an articulated lorry full of spares and a large team just to keep the things on the road.

Don't be fooled though. The best quality goes into the better Lexus cars so you buy either the LS or the RX if you want the best. Cheaper models have their issues and all suffer from things like premature suspension wear...primarily control arm bushes failing due to our roads and their weight being heavy hybrids. Avoid their diesels...those are far less reliable. Older lexus cars are best in petrol form. Best bang for buck is the older non hybrid GS300 V6 3 litre. Ls luxury in a car to rival pure driving pleasure of bmw.

Mat's voice has gradually bored me to tears,,,, just like his videos

No more unreliable over engineered German cars for me! Audis suck 2x engine failures and super high oil consumption.

I’ve now got a Lexus, convinced misses to buy a used Toyota Yaris convinced my friend to buy a used Honda Civic hybrid and got my work colleague to purchase a used Mazda and they all having a good time apart from normal maintenance and age related wear and tear.

👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Matt, you have never ever reviewed a Toyota Crown!! You've shown a Toyota Crown on a production line!! Please we need a review!!!

ALL JAPANESE PRODUCTS ARE PUSHED TO PERFECTION. NOTHING BEATS JAPANESE.
