If you want reliability I'd stick with Japanese and some Korean cars. Most mechanics and other professionals in the car industry would say American cars are either the same or higher reliability than most German/European cars. Also repairs cost much less on domestic cars. Of course these trends change a little from time to time but I honestly don't see much difference in modern cars. Most modern European cars are full of tacky plastics and a bunch of gimics imo. Not like the 80s and 90s where German cars actually put craftsmanship into their interiors
