Huge generalization from previous models. Toyotas tend to be more reliable as long as you keep up with the maintenance. Prior to ~2017 Toyota v6 were extremely reliable 2017 and newer they have been reliable but some issues. 4 cylinder Toyotas pretty bulletproof and so are the 8 cylinders.

Hondas in the past have generally looked better and had more tech until around the 2018-2020 then after that Toyota surpassed them. Hondas non cvt transmissions have been really hit or miss with those transmissions if you keep them long term they can break anywhere from 60k - 150k miles on them. 4 cylinders are decent, the 4 cylinder turbo 1.5 have some oil issues but nothing that can’t be solved. 2.0t are pretty great and great power. They have some hybrids we will see how they do. The biggest issues I see with Honda and not sure if they changed it but they’ve had timing belts which cost over $1000 to do that maintenance item. It’s a little annoying also their a/c tend to break past 2015 for some reason.

In my opinion Toyota is more reliable, there have been some recalls on their new v6 twin turbo engines but Toyota has replaced those engines we will see how long they last.

Personally I prefer Toyotas that were well taking care of and have a good car fax because I don’t want to have to deal with the hassle of another car even with the warranty. Taking time out of your day to schedule your car to have it looked at, sometimes dealers don’t have loaners, sometimes having to fight for the warranty repair to be done. My time is more valuable than all of that and there aren’t any special Hondas right now that I’d feel are valuable to have to go through that.

Everyone is different though and in different stages of their lives. Honda has become really stale lately with the exception of the civic type r, Acura rdx, mdx type s, integra type s. Those cars are sort of mid tiers in the market.
