These reviews are no way accurate. These vehicles are too new. Going back 10 years or so and chech hie many of those models are still on the road without breakdowns. That would be a more accurate stab at which one is more reliable.

This ranking is meaningless without explaining the methodology of how this was rated. Without an explanation of methodology we can only assume this is ranked by how much money changed hands to write it.

Not sure how reliability is tested other than long term ownership and I can attest that my 2014 Impreza hatch is the most unreliable car I have ever owned. While it’s still on the road, approaching 200k miles, and has been lovingly taken care of, it has needed a slew of expensive repairs over several years including a new transmission.

Subaru Forester is the very best model for me.
Very reliable with good clearance.
