In terms of reliability, I think in general most mainstream modern cars are pretty close. Yes, you'll see Honda and Toyota at the front of the pack, but buying a middle of the pack model does not mean that you can expect a catastrophic failure two months into your purchase. Even Honda and Toyota have their issues; recall Toyota's massive recalls a few years ago and Honda's current issue with CRV turbo engines failing in cold weather. That isn't to say that Honda or Toyota aren't excellent choices, just attempting to point out that the gap isn't as significant as it has been in the past.
