In your opinion which company makes the best quality car considering the value for money?
Which company uses the best products inside the cars?

In my opinion good cars are Audi and Mercedes-Benz.

Kia has made the biggest improvement over the years, but that is only because they were so bad in the 90s.

Here is a nice ranking

This consumer report is made asking only US consumers ?

Do I have to subscribe ?
My apologies, I didn't realize that Consumer Reports wants you to subscribe in order to read their reviews. I've deprecated my post above.

Why? How do you justify or support your opinion? Do you consider maintenance costs and reliability?

I don't think it's based on consumer reviews but some other data.
Consumer Reports performs its own testing.

This is purely anecdotal, but I have always had good luck with mazda.

Yes, Consumer Reports has its own test facility and performs its own testing. Reliability scores, however, are based on surveys sent to readers. The magazine rates car models sold in the US. Personally, I prefer Subarus. But the car I would love to have if I were ever to win the lottery is a late 60's Triumph TR-4A.
