Without getting into the brand image/legacy and stuff we all know that Honda and Toyota have come off age as far as engineering excellence is concerned. They match or beat others in terms of build quality, FE, electronics, luxury, safety and reliability.
So why do they rate low in the ride and handling department? Or is it just a perception?
