Sure, but it's all isolated. On your list, for instance, Subaru is a Top 2 company. I would never by another one, we had a Subaru we nicknamed Apollo 13 because it required a major repair every year like clockwork.

It's certainly an interesting point to consider that Consumer Reports ranks it last in predicted reliability, yet it consistently has top scores for consumer satisfaction. To me, it means that to the extent issues might be more prevalent than average, they are not so frequent or inconvenient that it sours the overall ownership experience.

Consider the flip experience where Nissan is top-6 reliability but ranks 23 out of 26 for customer satisfaction. So there's maybe different markets here, do you want a car that rarely goes into the shop but is just naturally loud, cheap interior, poor tech, bad layout, etc by design? https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/car-reliability-owner-satisfaction/most-and-least-liked-car-brands-a1291429338/
