Quite frankly flat/boxer engines are poop and the CVT's seal the deal. Otherwise they are not a bad car though. Japanese cars are good quality. Honda and Acura has sealed the deal with their fuel dilution problems on the new turbo engines but again, otherwise great cars. The Accord is impressive for the price.
But in terms of top drivetrain quality, I vote for Mazda and Toyota. The Skyactiv drivetrains have proven to be not in excellent with the way the run and produce power, but reliability is very good. Since Toyota has invested into Mazda for their Skyactiv-X technology, not hard to tell who is making the all around "people's car" as of late.
