Toyota and Honda have been longtime leaders in the world of economy cars. From their exceptional and efficient performance to their state-of-the-art features to styling that turns heads on Madison roads and beyond, these automakers are known for their world-class vehicles. But between Toyota vs. Honda, which is better? Given the trusted quality of both brand lineups, this can be a tough question for an everyday driver to answer. To help you decide between the two, here’s a detailed comparison of Toyota vs. Honda reliability and reviews, courtesy of the professionals at Russ Darrow Automotive Group.

 

Toyota Vs. Honda: Reliability

Toyota has a long-standing focus on durability and reliable engineering, solidifying its position as the top choice for owners who prioritize peace of mind on every Neenah drive. The industry’s most respected quality studies confirm this advantage. However, in any “Toyota vs. Honda: Which is Better?” debate, Honda is a formidable opponent and remains a consistently popular choice among buyers and critics alike.

In the J.D. Power 2025 U.S. Vehicle Dependability Study, Toyota ranks high on the list. The study measures the number of problems experienced per 100 vehicles (PP100) over a three-year ownership period. Toyota earned an impressive 4th overall ranking with 162 PP100. With that said, Honda achieved a still-impressive 12th overall, with 201 PP100, out of 31 car brands evaluated.

Toyota Vs. Honda: Reviews

Both brands have an impressive lineup, earning routinely high praise from automotive critics. Check out some Toyota vs. Honda reviews:

Toyota Reviews

  • Camry: “The Camry Hybrid remains a mid-size car intent on challenging competitors such as the Honda Accord and the Hyundai Sonata. As one of our favorites in its segment, the Toyota Camry has earned a spot on our Editors’ Choice list for 2025.” – Car and Driver
  • Grand Highlander: “Thanks to a commodious, handsome cabin, a compelling list of standard equipment and safety tech, and solid road manners, the Grand Highlander is one of the most compelling mid-size crossovers in a segment deep with talented competitors, including the Kia Telluride, the Mazda CX-90, and the Hyundai Palisade. As one of our favorites in its segment, the Toyota Grand Highlander also earned a spot on our Editors’ Choice list for 2025.” – Car and Driver
  • Tacoma: “Long a staple—if not the very epicenter—of the mid-size pickup segment, the Tacoma recently underwent a complete, long-overdue makeover that brought new features, stronger off-road chops, and some advantages over competitors.” – Car and Driver

Honda Reviews

  • Accord: “A compelling combination of virtues makes the Accord a sublime sedan and our number one pick in the family sedan segment.” – Car and Driver
  • Pilot: “Agreeable ride quality, plenty of space for people and things…The Honda Pilot gets the job done as a three-row family hauler with a bit of added off-road prowess.” – Car and Driver
  • Ridgeline: “Spacious cabin, comfy-as-a-minivan ride, cool in-bed storage compartment…The Ridgeline’s appeal lies in its ability to handle most of the tasks most people want a pickup for with a more comfortable ride and crisper handling than conventional mid-size pickups.” – Car and Driver
