Surely, the Yaris is only reliable because it has very little that is new, leading edge or desirable from an enthusist's viewpoint. It really is basic. In fact, it is not all that reliable in relative terms.

The Japanese started to lose their way on dependability/reliability about 10 years ago. Toyota more than most. I believe their CEO actually said so when he publicly apologised a few years ago for some serious issues with one of their cars.

Take a look at the latest JD Power survery - the results will surprise most people.
