Car reviewer was trying to find most reliable used car and said there's only two brands to consider

This TikToker and car reviewer was trying to find the most reliable car and found there’s only two brands to consider: Toyota or Honda.

He went through a parking lot and judged people’s cars, rating them with comments on the best and worst vehicles he could see.

He also reviewed Jeeps, Nissans, Audis, and BMWs for the post.

His conclusion about how reliable those makes are came as no surprise to the content creator’s fanbase – and the comments seem to agree with him.

This car reviewer’s most reliable cars

Popular car reviewer and TikToker Rudy Cars, AKA @rudycars2, went to a public parking lot to do an experiment which he filmed for his followers.

He pointed out various parked cars and rated them out of 10 based on his opinions about their reliability and value for money.

He begins the video by pointing out a 2013 Nissan Altima, which he described as ‘garbage’, rating it a low 5.8/10.

The next car he saw is a 2009 Honda CR-V which he believed is ‘really good, very good’, and a 9.5/10.

Another Honda came on the wheels of the CR-V, a 2006 Civic which he rated a 9.2/10. Rudy’s allegiance to make comes through very obviously in this TikTok.

“So basically, buy a Honda or Toyota,”

Next up is a 2019 Jeep Wrangler, which gets a 6.1/10, then a 2015 Accord, which doesn’t get a rating, but a ‘very reliable’ comment.

He forgets the rating system and describes a 2016 Audi A4 as very good and a 2023 BMW 1 Series which he describes as ‘very cool’ but suggests is unreliable.

A trend emerges when Rudy started rating further cars, where he labels Hondas and Toyotas as reliable and good, regardless of model or year.

“This one’s a pretty obvious one. They’ve been around forever. They last forever. All you’ve got to do is change your oil,” the TikToker said of a Toyota.

When commenters were discussing the video and what car is most reliable, they agreed with Rudy on the reliability of the makes.

“So basically, buy a Honda or Toyota,” one commenter said.

“I stand by Honda; I love my Honda Accord 2010,” added another.

So it looks as though the verdict is unanimous. Honda and Toyota for the win!
