That list is bullshit. The 2005 models haven't been out long enough to be
able to judge reliability.

It's definitely based upon 2004 model year vehicles' reliability ratings.
Glad I bought a new 2002 Lexus IS300. It has been 100% flawless--so I am
sure that the 2004 models will be very reliable for their owners as well.
Toyota definitely makes extremely reliable vehicles for the most part. There
have been exceptions to this rule in the last few years, but all in all,
they are really, really hard to beat for reliability. I've said it before
and I'll say it again. Give me a Toyota, Lexus, Honda, Acura, Nissan or
Infiniti and I'll be satisfied.
I personally prefer Japan's Big 6 over Detroit's Big 3.

I read from some car BBS, that Honda and Acura 2000 and after models, may
have transmission design problem that casues the transmission early failure.

I own 3 cars at home, 2 Honda accords and 1 Acura TL, I feel they are good
cars, but they do have small problems here and there, compare with the Lexus
300 that once I have owned, the car is absolutely flawless. And I hate Honda
car's oil filter design, it is near impossible to reach, on the othre hand,
Toyota cars, the oil filter is located right on the side of the engine, you
can reach by hand very easy. Maybe next time, I have to shift to Toyota.

Actually, the oil filter on my 2001 Accord is very easy to reach. I am
not sure about the new generation though.

Easy to reach, but I can't remove mine without spilling oil all over...
unless I change it cold.
