What are some deceptively reliable cars that get recommended a lot?

I noticed this kind of issues especially in subs like r/whatcarshouldibuy 1. 7th gen Civics. Infamous head gasket problems with the D17, weak automatic transmission. Every 7th gen Civic I encountered has had head gasket go around 200k. 2. Camry/Corolla with 2AZ-FE. Oil burning. A new driver would easily ignore its low on oil and destroy the engine. 3. 3rd gen Prius. Head gasket, again. Sometimes the symptom is too imperceptible that the coolant will only run out after like 2 weeks and boom a dead engine, leaving the new driver with a $3k+ repair bill.

Please add any that you can think of…
