I have owned a wide range of vehicle brands over the journey, local, Japanese and European, but from experience and observation, the Toyota products have impressed me most in terms of reliability and build quality. However some of these vehicles have had their issues.
The only Holdens I've owned were Commodores, standard fare which I found were basically OK but had their quality issues such as poor fittings and fixtures. On one I recall in particular was the side of the driver's seat, where it was rubbed during getting in/out. It wore through in a couple of years. That was quite annoying as it was just out of warranty and the replacement cover was hard to get, expensive and needed to be fitted by a motor trimmer at my expense
The Lexus, OK more expensive, was light years ahead. This is now getting on a bit but still a good car (fingers crossed!).

Reality always wins in the end.
