My dad bought a 1978 Toyota Corolla.The car outlast him. The car is still with us.Will never sell it. Almost 1 mil mileage Only once transmission rebuild done, engine still original. God bless you dad. I miss ya taking us everywhere. God bless Toyota.
Sister had a 78 4 door Corolla. NYC called it the tank . Sold it in 94 . The owner took it to Puerto Rico where it's used as a taxi to this day INCREDIBLE CAR.
I had a '79 I bought in '86. 2 dr. Ran great. My brother wrecked it several times while I was in the service but it still ran. I think my brother finally totaled it ..... he was not a careful driver.
@Palestino555 Palestinians are free..... to stop voting for and supporting terrorists. Want a cease fire? They had one.... on 10/6/23 and before. Palestinians overwhelmingly supported Hamas and the death of Jews "from the river to the sea"..... so no mercy. 🇮🇱
As a former used car dealer, I highly advise y'all to stay away from the Ford Fusion. It is reliable, until something breaks down, and it becomes a nightmare, because that something will be expensive. I've see Fusions with the engine block simply cracked on it's side. Have to agree with the rest, You also should of mentioned the beautiful and reliable Mazda-3, even the older ones are super reliable.
Just avoid it. Transmission issues left n right. If you want a mid size family sedan, You can get a high mileage Camry, Y; 2012, 2013, 2014. Those Camrys have the bulletproof 6 speed, Non CVT in them and the A/C seldom breaks. If you want Honda, anything newer than 2010 will do. 9 gen Accords with the 2.4L Earthdreams engine are super reliable, High mileage LX are going for around 10k now @@jt8280
I am a Ford Fusion owner year 2013 now at 192k mileage. Purchased my car at the auction with 46k mileage and have owned her for 8 years. She outperforms most cars. I have only had one issue in my ownership which was a bit pricey (3000) but we commute everywhere and I could not be a happier owner. I also have an amazing mechanic team.
I think he just put that Ford on there not discriminate against US cars. The rest are legitimate. If you are outside US, you can also get Daihatsu and Mitsubishi and Suzuki which are good cars too. I'm seriously looking at Daihatsu, they are smaller and simplified Toyotas. I guess you have the Scions.
My 2002 Honda Accord is due for maintenance tomorrow, I purchased it brand new when I graduated from college. With a mileage of 251,178 as of 4/2/2024, it's holding up well, besides a minor oil leak. It's difficult for me to rationalize purchasing another car when this one reliably gets me from point A to B, costing me an average of around $900 per year for insurance and maintenance combined. The money I've saved from avoiding car payments has given me the flexibility to dine out, travel, or take a much-needed mental health day when necessary. It all comes down to choices. Thank you, Honda, for your reliability!
Thank you for posting this. My daughter was heartbroken 3 weeks ago when she was rear ended on her way to class. Her 18 year old Avalon was totaled. She graduated from college today and we will be buying her a new to her car with the settlement she received and adding to it as her graduation gift. Hondas are on our short list.
@@christines2787 That sounds like an excellent idea. When I graduated from college, I wanted a BMW, but my mother convinced me to buy the Honda Accord. Now, 22 years later, the car is still amazing. As I mentioned, I only spend $900 a year, which breaks down to about $2.5 per day, for insurance and maintenance..on, non-major maintenance year, its even less! The money saved over the years helped me pay off my initial student loans, save for a down payment on a house, and now provides me with the financial freedom that a fancy, high-maintenance car wouldn't allow. While my co-workers are dragging their feet to work extra shifts to keep up with their car payments, I'm happy doing other things that bring me joy. I'm grateful I listened to my mother's advice 22 years ago!

DON’T be fooled into thinking you’ll automatically get another 100k miles on a car just because it’s a certain model/brand. Check out its history and condition as thoroughly as possible. Most cars will get at least 200k if well maintained. The problem is most people don’t keep up with basic maintenance, even oil changes.
No KIA is getting 200k and if it does, it’s bc the engine was recalled/replaced. I’ve had 3. I complained they died at 100k and they said, “What do you expect, it’s a KIA” at the dealership.
i own a 2010 honda accord, i bought it brand new. my work is 45 miles one way and rack in about 90 miles a day sometimes more. and now its 2023 and had been driving it since 2010, i do keep track of all the maintenance and always ahead of preventing maintenance aswell. its been good to me. i never had a major problem.
Just bought a 2024 Honda accord hybrid. My work is 48 miles away lol. I do 96 miles a day. I’m already at 2,000 miles and I just got the car about a month ago. I’m very happy with it and the gas mileage is great too!
I got Acura TSX 2010 8 years ago with 65.000. This model is the same shape with different name “Honda Accord in Europe”. Got it to 170.000 without any big problems. I feel like it would easily run to 200.000 but I crashed it just a week ago on my way to work. I do 30 miles one way to Chicago and back. No Im on market for new car. And don’t want anything new. Just old school reliable Acura or Honda.
I have a 2004 Corolla and it has run without a hiccup reliably since. It still gets 40 mpg on the highway. I sometimes think about getting something newer, but then ask, why? I’m almost 80 and don’t do as much driving anymore, and car insurance has gotten so expensive, especially on newer cars. This car will probably outlive me.
I agree. I am 67 and own a 2012 Camry and a 2018 RAV4, both purchased new. I will hang onto them as long as possible. These cars could outlive me. I even do my own maintenance to keep costs very low. New cars are a joke. And Toyota is now woke, so no way do I plan to visit them again!
I thought you had forgotten the Accord. I bought a 05Accord 4 years ago for $2500. I changed myself a couple of things. Timing belt, water pump, brakes. Also I replaced spark plugs, ignition coils and suspensions. After that I have been driving it every day for 4 years. No problems at all. Now reaching 215000 miles. Those cars are made to last. The only issue was a recall regarding air bag, but they fixed it at the dealership for free.
@@Giardintekgreat car, especially 2.4, one of the longest lasting motors. Trans are good especially the manual, where there is not much . maintenance.
I've got a 2012 and have had it for 10 years. Everything works beautifully with just regular maintenance and I plan to keep it another 10 years! These cars are great money savers.
Daily drivers in my family: 1992 Volvo 940T with 354,300 miles. 1993 Volvo 240 with 284,200 miles. 1998 Volvo V70 with 292,434 miles. All have original engines and transmissions. I do routine stuff, oil, filters, wiper blades, and tires. That's it. These cars are bullet proof. Heavy, solid, safe...easy to work on. No book value. Cost pennies to insure, and due to age are exempt to yearly emission testing.
As long as they are pre- Chinese My brother was a Volvo mechanic at a Volvo dealership… he bought several one owners that were serviced at the dealership… unbelievable quality
@@MrBuckeye63 Yes indeed. All steel and metal. No plastic or fiberglass. When one closes the door one feels very safe and protected. Local Volvo dealership had a big picture of Volvo 240 model at the entrance with a comment saying that there was never a fatality reported for people in this model.
Volvos were my go to last forever for many years. Then the company was bought out by a few different entities. The product suffered - especially so when they were taken over by a Chinese owned co. The brand reliability while improving is still no where near what it once was.
I completely regret selling my 03 Corolla with 239k on it. I wanted something that looked and felt nicer but regret settled in very soon after selling it privately.
I have a 2015 Mazda 6 Grand Touring and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!!! I bought it brand new, now I have 144,000 miles, never had any issues, still feels very tight and drives like a brand new vehicle. I am pretty confident I can drive my Mazda 6 well over 250,000 miles!
As a USPS mail carrier, I owned a Honda CRV . 80 miles a day, stop and go. Had 230,000 miles when I retired and sold it. Very dependable. No, I have a 2014 Honda Acoord with 130,000 miles. No major problems and I don't expect any for the next 100,000 miles+. Love it.
@rickn what do you think I just bought a 2011 Acura TSX basically a Honda Accorof 2500 bucks the motor does not burn any oil and runs like no it's not worth much more than that I tried to sell it immediately for 4 grand people offer me only I look at lots of McCords and they make a lot of noise and burn oil this one does not do none of that s*** at 220 thousand miles
Yeah I'm not typing so once again I looked at lots of 100,000 mi of course and they burn oil and make noise I believe the second generation TSX is underrated and underpriced for what the car really is modern complaint is brake drag that's my complain about this car it does have brake drag and other times I don't have it but anyway FTW
@@Pllm30 because people lie when they say their cars are 500,000mi and needed nothing but oil changes. And others are stupid enough to believe them at face value so there is this hive mind of "toyotas never break"
Listen to me, the Mazda 6 & Mazda 3 are some of THE BEST on the market!! My 2014 Mazda 6 Grand Touring at 237,499 miles and has NEVER had one breakdown! I would suggest getting one a little newer for tech reasons, you can get apple car play if you go up to 2015 and higher. But it has been far more reliable than the Honda accord I had.
same w my 2012 mazda 3 ! 220k miles and only ever had a coolant leak! best handling and best experience , it's simply a more fun honda with arguable reliability if you find the right one
Had a 88 Bonneville, 388,000 miles when I sold it still running good. Now have 04 impala 160,000 except for gauge issues great car. Don't discount 3.8 engines from gm. Fusion junk. Maintenance is key to any vehicle. Good luck
Just bought a 2002 Camry for $7700. It has $56,000 miles on it. Im the second owner and plan on driving this car for many years! I refuse to be a debt slave to these greedy auto companies and will probably never own a new car!
I got a 2011 Toyota Camry LE as my first car for $9800 at the height of the car shortage. I remember being so excited because it only had 68,000 miles. I saw it listed on craigslist about 5 minutes after it got posted and test drove it an hour later.
Definitly agree. We have over 300,000mi on our 2006 Vibe. We've spent barely anything on repairs in the 170,000 miles we put on it. Still a daily driver.
As a former used fusion owner, I do not recommend them. I bought 2014 Fusion at $7,000 in 2019. I sold it in 2022 at $6,000. However, I spent more than $5,000 for transmission, engine, tires, battery, brake, and suspension.
I bought a 2015 Titanium AWD with 58000 miles in 2019. Automatic transmission started hesitating in 2nd and 3rd in 2023 at 89000 miles. No codes so I cleared all memory in the modules and sold it back to the dealer I bought it from for $1200 less than I paid for it 😂
I am a 71 years of man, I have a 1986 Toyota pick up single axle, 22r engine, automatic transmission, power steering, power brake and air conditioner with 291685 miles, I wouldn't sell, trade or buy any other car for nothing at all, it runs trouble free, I always give it the standard preventive maintenance, it runs to the perfection,if I notice any problem I personally fix it myself, there is nothing about that Toyota mechanically wise that i don't know, I know the entire mechanical system by heart, it looks and run to the perfection, no scanner required to troubleshoot the whole pick up truck, I don't think that any other company can built any car or truck as reliable as this unit, I will keep it until my last day in this world, from the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico Jesus Torres.
@@Bow-to-the-absurd very neat of you but that one on back to the future was 4x4 mine is single axle, I wish mine was 4x4 but is not, most kind of you for your very sweet comment, blessings to you and your love ones, from the endless summer paradise Puerto Rico Jesus Torres.
I’ve got a beautiful 2005 Chrysler 300 Limited. 3.8L and currently has 204k miles on it. I paid $3000 for it 7 years ago. ( yes I got a great deal as pre owner was in need of cash at that moment) This 300 has been, hands down the best vehicle I have ever owned in my life. Hands down the best! Keeping up on your maintenance can make all the difference.
And the 300 is not boring. Imagine driving a Corolla and thinking you're smart. It's hard to explain to the idiots who watch these videos and drink the kool-aid.
Alot of people don't do proper maintenance and that leads to costly repairs that's why toyota is my fav. You can abuse the hell out of them and they keep on ticking
The Fusion is loosing its head gasket at around 100k miles, not to mention most tech’s do not want to repair it because of high return rates on the same repair.. it should not be on this list.
I would also stay away from the WRX and STi versions of the Impreza unless you know the history of the car. They tend to be favored among drivers who modify them and drive "enthusiastically".
I love my Subaru WRX though. I didn't live in an area where there people have appreciation for Subarus and they are rare and not really much of a mod culture here. It's such a good car. So sad to part with it as I need more legroom for the kids in the back. I've taken it off paved roads so many times and it gets back to main road and with no problems and drives smooth as butter. And the handling is like nothing else I've owned. This is my 26th car.
We own a 2007 Camry XLE. 3.5L 6 cylinder. (Top of the Line back then) We bought it new back in early 2007 and we only have 91K miles on it today. To us it is worth more then a new car. If we sold it today we would only get around $5K-$6K for it. Not worth it since this car runs so well. We plan on keeping it another 10 years.
Keep that Camry I absolutely love that generation of Camry’s 2007-2011 they idle and drive so well and they are tanks that camry will be around for a very long time my next door neighbor still has her 1992 camry v6 xle and the car looks and drives great with just 140,000 on the dash these cars are one of the very best please keep it you’ll be glad you did I own four
I’ve had 5 Camus beginning in 1992 to my last new 2016. I believe the 2007-xxx. generation the best. I still own and drive my 2007 V6 LE. It has 127k miles and runs great. Also have a 2016 4cyl LE I bought new with 55k miles. I know I’d regret selling my 2007. That generation was bullet proof. Have replaced alternator and water pump.
@@Lee-di9jn. I found a 1992 V6 LE Camry for my mom. It was the best used car I ever purchased. Got it around 2004 and was phenomenal! I think it was a Lexus in disguise! It still smelled new inside.
@@imagrandpa it pretty much is a Lexus being that Toyota and Lexus are related Toyota manufactured Lexus I take my Lexus es 350 to the Toyota dealership for repairs they too help to keep the car running I love that my Lexus shares a similar platform as the Toyota Camry just in a tuxedo they are pretty much the same car
2011 Toyota Prius, 238,000 without any mechanical failure or hybrid system problems. Unfortunately the CVT is starting to go but words can’t express how much money this car saved me over 10 years of ownership!
We bought new matching 2012 Toyota Prius's Wife's has 188,000 mine just flipped 300,000 Never needed to replace the batteries 🪫 yet!! Love 💕 our cars!!
My 2015 mazda 6 has 271k miles. Still drives like new and the interior has held up super well with nothing breaking or tearing. Only oil changes, an engine mount, and tranny oil change every 30k miles after i hit 120k Miles on original tranny fluid. And it shifts just smoothly as ever. I've been very impressed with the quality and lack of maintenance. Just keep those battery terminals clean to avoid corrosion!
Mine is at 237,499 miles and only thing I’ve changed are the ball joints at 215k miles and regular oil changes. This Mazda 6 has been way more reliable than any of the other Hondas or Toyota’s I’ve had.
I currently have a 2017 Toyota iA with 284k on the engine/chassis and boyyyyy does it still shockingly drives smooth as silk. Of course there are wear and tear which is typically in any car but no major issues at all. I think it may possibly be able to hit 500k to 1 mil if proper maintenance is done regularly. Wanted a Tesla M3 or MS but decided to postpone. Love Tesla but super unreliable.
Not totally with the fusion. Rest yes. Friend had a fusion and it was plagued with transmission codes followed by major tranny problems just around 100k miles. Seems it inherited and carried problems over from the Taurus. Mazda has done great since it's distanced itself from Ford ventures of the 90's.
Ive got a 2013 Civic - as advertised, it's reliable and an fine car. One problem though. For reasons I cannot fathom (and were fixed in 2014) Honda tilted the center of the dash toward the driver. The result is a loss of foot room for the passenger - which I usually am. My knee is much too close to the dash for comfort. But maybe you're smaller. But I do wish I'd sat in the car before going to the broker.
I bought my Toyota Camry brand new in 2003 but had to get rid of it in 2019 after it started to overheat as soon as I cranked it up. It had about 220,000 miles though.👍🏻
I shopped Impreza late last year. A four-year-old 50,000 mile example was on offer for almost the same price as a brand-new comparably equipped one. I bought the Crosstrek because the higher ground clearance made egress easier, and the standard trans on the Crosstrek is a six-speed instead of a five-speed.
@@5610winstonjust don't go drag racing with it, it should be fine. don't be too afraid of newer CVTs too.... blame Nissan for tarnishing the technology but it's gone better now.
The problem is not the dealers, but the customers who bit the hook. I know many, many people who bought the payment and have no idea that they got the shaft. They don't even care. I have a 2014 ES 300h with 315k on it (I drive for work). Literally zero repairs, not even brakes. Just tires, oil, $13.5k all-in and a $216 payment at 5% (I bought it used).
Sometimes the new is worst than the older ones! We currently have a 2014 Accord with i4, but no way I'd want a new one with the turboed engine. Also look at safety rating, which not many ppl look into. Did you know the new Toyota Sienna has only a 3 star safety rating?! The olders have 4 and 5 star! Recently in Australia 9 ppl died in a new Sienna! Even a Kia Sedona has 5 ***** safety rating!
I dunno. The Subarus all seem to suffer either head gasket failures or massive engine oil leaks. The Fusion seems to have lots of transmission failures. A $1,000 for a replacement hybrid battery pack - are you sure about that? Zero to 100 in 4 seconds? - you must mean kph not mph and even that is still quicker than I would expect out of any car on this list. My general advice is to avoid any car with a continuously variable automatic transmission, and avoid any car with direct fuel injection. Most cars would last longer if they were more frequently maintained and driven slower: I suggest oil changes every 2,500 miles and auto trans service every 25,000 miles. Learn to drive a few mph under the speed limit and that will also help to extend vehicle life.
Subaru gasket failure occurs when people drive them like idiots. Don't slam a cold engine or floor the pedal all the time, it's a responsive engine that does not need massive fuel intake to get it to go. make sure your radiators and air intakes are good to cool it. It's my daily driver and I barely touch the peddles and that baby is responsive. I almost never go past 4000 revs on it because it can pick up speed without much effort, and I LOVE overtaking cars, but I don't need to ram my engine to the max. If I was flooring it every time, I would blow my gaskets, and burn a ton of fuel, put unnecessary stress on my motor and tranny and tires and breaks. And blow gaskets. But again, I don't even know WHY you would need or want to do that because they accelerate excellently without much effort under normal operation, you will never blow a gasket driving it normally, ramming it is another story, but that's with any car.
@@victoriadedicova Subarus are not the only car that benefit from sane gentle driving. I don't think that you are trying to suggest that Subaru gaskets and seals are extra fragile compared with other manufacturers. I don't have any personal experience with Subarus as I've never owned one. I do have a sister who bought one, in part on the pitch that they were reliable. She is a gentle driver - yet her Subaru seemed to end up with one issue after another. She put up with it for a couple of years before trading it in.
@@Thomas63r2 not what I said. I think the blown gasket situation is exaggerated and falsely .add to seem that it's exclusive to Subarus. I think any car that people treat as a rases car when it is not designed for it will blow gaskets more than it's designed to. Abuse will do that. I think a better indicator would be model specific comparison. If they are mostly modified Impurezas or WRS then you have your answer. I know people who've blown gaskets on Civic. And yes, they were not using the vehicle as proscribed.
@@victoriadedicova All I can say is there seem to be more blown head gasket, and leaky engine case, videos on Subarus on RUclips by far than for other manufacturers - and I'm not talking about modified cars, just regular cars. RUclips mechanic's channels seem to single out the Subaru for head gasket and engine case sealing issues. I think that even Subaru has redesigned their replacement head gaskets and it may now be less of an issue. As they say, your experience may vary.
@@Thomas63r2 2011 Legacy, easy keeper. Preventative maintenance at 100,000 miles including timing belt. Only issue was rust that I had removed by back wheels. The car complaints website gave it their Seal of Awesome. I go by year in a model. They aren't the same.
I had 2 subaru a impreza and a outback and they are not reliable at all, if you need to change the head gasket it cost over 2k. No more subaru for me. Visit to the garage are way too often. I have a old infiniti G 2011 since 2015 and its what i call a reliable car and at a reasonable price.
my brand-new from japan impreza had oil consumption issues instantly, and the short block was replaced (by the goddamn dealership) with under 2,000 miles on the engine, which i put on the car. they worked on the car for over 4 months, although i did get a loaner at no cost. within a week or less of the car's 10th anniversary, it started to burn oil and coolant so badly, i had to top them off ever two to three tanks. never again.
70 percent of all the Honda I bought over the years had serious head gasket problems including the junker I'm driving now. The previous owner said perfect car Been driving it for 3 years and major extra coolant I had to use Probably could have bought 3 extra cars over the years with the amount of coolant I wasted. Sellers will always lie, so get it checked it out by a mechanic
@@theluckyman74 cant trust nobody. Buy used from a dealership where you will get a 90 day guarantee or they fix it up before selling it. Buying off the street is a huge no for me. Complete scums and frauds, avoid private sellers at all costs.

I agree and laugh when someone talks about how reliable subarus are. It's rare for their gutless boxer 4 bangers to get much past 150k without a 3k headgasket job. It was 2k job pre biden.
My 06 Honda Civic Hybrid gave in with 197k miles I got it 2 years ago with 150k miles for $1700 my dad’s friend hooked him up. I currently got a 2012 honda accord with 112k miles literally great condition in white paint with 2016 honda accord rims clean title for 14k flat. The car is a beauty. 🙂 good to know that honda accord is king of midsize sedans.
I got 315k on 09 Prius. Never took to dealer yet. 3k miles synthetic oil change. Spark plugs, fuel injectors every 50k. Car runs like new still getting 50mpg. No loss in power since new
The Subaru Legacy (#5) has either a “boxer” four, or a boxer (“ H “) six, not a “V-6” engine. It’s called “boxer” because the pistons move horizontally, opposite to each other, like a boxer throwing punches.
More people been knocked out by upper cuts and that's what a V6 and V8 does. My Impala is a 2011. Is like new. I only have to change the oil. Very reliable car. I only buy American 😅
Boxer engines have one major problem. If it needs even a minor job like replacing a lifter it requires you to pull the engine out of the car to get access to the head. Most even minor jobs involving the engine require you to pull it out of the car. That adds a few grand to most jobs
2011 Camry here. I bought it for 8K in 2019 with 95K miles on it. It now has 135K. I had to get new brakes struts and tires but I think this car will outlast me.
#2 2011 Toyota Camry can also be my 2011 Toyota Venza, essentially a Camry station wagon with 20" wheels. Same engine, trans, brakes, etc, but better looking and a huge area in the back for groceries.
..my 2006 Camry 250,000 miles. Many expensive repairs, but I’ve been using it for pizza delivery for 5 years. I start it 20 times a day average for 6 years. 99% city use. It takes a brutal beating
my dad Toyota Camry LE hybrid 2018 right now has 450.000 miles. original HV battery. yes. it is 450k miles. almost hit 500k miles. never change HV battery.
I was offered I think a 2015 Honda Accord with cruise control for $6K a couple years ago when my car expert friend told me it was worth $10K - I vacillated and it was sold the next day for $6600 - now I see it recommended as number 1 here - dayum.
I bought a 2013 Mazda 6 with a 4 cylinder engine just before the pandemic for about 12K Canadian. The engine is surprisingly powerful and torquey. Great car, I really like it. VERY reliable. Runs great with about 115,000 km on it. Will easily go for another 10 years,
I do not own one. I own a 1995 Accord because it is my preferred option. I sold all the other cars I had. I am a professional truck driver and I do not give much attention to little cars . However, I am here to tell you this; the best balanced and reliable and affordable car in the Word today is YOURS - Toyota Corolla. Hands down.
I have a 2004 Toyota Tacoma Extra cab , 2.4 L with a 5 speed , truck still runs great , no issues . Also have a 2005 Saturn Vue with a 2.2 L automatic that runs great as well I keep the maintenance up and keep both vehicles clean and detailed as well . Neither one have given me any problems so I will keep them until they finally wear out lol . Paid for , cheap property taxes , that’s good in my book .
I still love my 2008 Toyota Highlander. Not great on gas but I bought it in 2007 and the only thing I have had done was new alternator this last year. Not bad for a 16 year old car.
We bought our 2007 Honda Pilot new. It has 200k on today and runs very well. Love my 2016 Toyota Sequoia as well. It has 100k on it and runs like a champ.
I can't stand when a source that Clearly is relied on such as this video can't even get the facts right. If this is supposed to be an informative top 10 video it should at least be correct about engine types
The fusion isn't fantastically reliable. If you want a fusion, stay away from the 1.5 and 1.6. cracked cylinders/blown headgaskets below 100k miles requiring a replacement engine. Its a widespread issue on the fusion and escape, beinging several recalls due to complaint levels. Those engines are true nightmares, and it really shows a lack of research in this video. If you're dead set on one, get the 2.5 which IS proven reliable. Also, make sure the transmission has been serviced or you may face issues there. With the subarus listed, it really depends on the years. Early 2010s variants such as the 2013 mentioned are known for oil burning and sometimes for cvt issues. 2015+ brought a lot of reliability updates to the engine and transmissions on Outback\legacy and impreza. After 2015, they dont have nearly as many complaints
Yes, the i4 2.5LT engine is great. No direct injection, just multi-port fuel injection, and no turbo --- yea! My Fusion has not cost me much over the 8.5 years owned. I purposely bought the SE with the base engine to avoid the woes.
Do yourself a big favor buy a Ford panther platform either the Crown Vic or the Marquis. They are reliable easy to fix and parts fairly inexpensive. I know guy who runs a local cab company. He has Crown Vics in daily use today who have been regularly maintained properly with over 700,000 miles on them 😳
I had a chance to buy a high mileage '04 Ford Crown Vic, but ended up getting a high mileage '05 Toyota Camry instead. I already regret my decision to pass on the Vic, even with the awful dealer reviews.
@@captainamericaamerica8090 100% co-sign. My friend's grandfather died and as we were cleaning out his house I open up the garage and under about an inch of dust it was a Crown Vic. I asked him what he was going to do with it he said I don't want to give me $500 and it's yours. Attached to charger to it and the engine came to life immediately. Once I got it out and realized what I had I was a proud owner of a 2004 Crown Vic LX Sport 😁. 77,000 miles. P Everything works I now have my forever vehicle. What I like most is how many young guys come up to me and admire it. So nice to see them appreciating good old Detroit iron instead of imported tin can fart knockers 😏
I own a 2012 Genesis,V6. Super nice car, very well equipped. It just now flipped to over 100,000 miles. You really have to watch your speed in this car, very fast.
My dad owns 2012 Accord, we bought it brand new on my birthday 🥳 but I totally agree with the list. Apart from tire and routine maintenance it has cost us nothing. And it is still fun and powerful to drive and having no CVT its a blessing.
I bought my 2012 Accord with only 5k miles on it in 2013. Everything works fine with just regular maintenance. I plan on getting new struts and new spark plugs next week. It now has 95k miles and I plan to keep it another 10 years. Great car!
2015 toyota corolla owner here. Had it since day 1 and I have been the only owner. 86K miles on it and not a single major repair. I have been keeping with maintenance, transmission fluid changed at 65K miles, every 2 years break fluid change, on time oil changes, and at 82K, I changed the spark plugs, every year I change the cabin and engine air filter and breaks and tires. I am hoping this car lasts at least 250K miles. For it's 10th year I am planning on doing a full exterior and interior detail to make it look brand new.
All day! I move to Florida from Ohio and we drive every summer back to Ohio to visit family in our 2002 Toyota sequoia with 263k and has never left us stranded. Only thing I have done is suspension upgrades, brakes, timing belt/wate pump 2 year ahí because it had the original parts still. Can’t complain. In fact, we have an 06 Lexus Gs300 with 202k, a 2011 Civic with 190k, a 08 scion Xbox with 162k and a 01 Lexus is300 with 147k. All run and drive.
That's certainly something to consider. I wouldn't feel comfortable taking them on a long road trip. I need something to get me from A to Z more than once a year, but then again for in city commutes an older reliable car is the way to go. Too many crazies out there.
The Fusion is a Mondeo in the UK, I have a 2ltr 210 bhp Diesel Auto Estate (Stationwagon). To look after the transmission you must change the oil every 2-3 years or 36K miles without fail, never skimp on engine oil changes either. The old transmission oil after 3 years is in a pretty nasty state. In the UK this costs the equivalent of 500 US dollars. A number of firms use them as fleet taxis and with regular maintenance they can exceed 300K.
They are significantly worse in the US. Plus of course we don’t have a diesel option. Just your choice of gas engines that will blow up. Just a matter of how soon?
The 2013 Honda Civic I have IS reliable so far I've driven it on tons of stuff it wasn't designed for too for 20,000 miles and mechanics can't find anything to upsell me on everything is still flawless and I drive on dirt roads
I bought a used 2015 Honda Accord with a zippy 2.4L 4 cylinder engine with 14k miles on it for $14k in 2018. Today, it runs like a champ with just 87K miles on it and it should last another 100k miles. The only maintenance I've ever done on it is replace the battery, the front break pads, a new set of tires, and regular 5K synthetic oil changes. It's roomy and comfortable. The best thing about it is that I own it outright, no car payments. It is the best deal I ever got for a car.
@@maninderarora7037 Aside the trim and some multimedia features there’s not much difference between the 2011 and 2012-14 models. The 2011 has better reliability than the 2012-14 models. I’d rather buy the 2011 model and install Bluetooth CarPlay and reverse Camry.
My 2007 Toyota Camry is 17 years old in 2024, it's modified and one of the most reliable Camry with a 5 Speed Manual Transmission. SE interior, Black Leather seats, and a Power sunroof. Easy to work on, except for the Serpentine belt it's tight between the frame and pulleys.
Just sold my 2013 Corolla at 150k miles. It started letting me down after need 2k in engine work and then 2k in engine mounts. The last straw was needing struts (wear tear I know). Had I been been traveling when I needed the engine work it would have left me stranded. I took terrible care of the exterior. I got 5k for it. Pretty happy with that. On to the next thing!
Pretty good, I only question the Accord as one over the Camry, Accord is slicker, amazing in so many ways, so I won't get started. But reliability? Got to hang with the Toyota product for that one.
As an avid Prius enthusiast I have to say that he is not wrong about a 2010 Prius, but BEWARE, that model year is the only year to have had head gasket issues. So make sure the car has already been serviced for that or just go to a 2011+ model year. They're about the same price and you'll save yourself alot of headache.
I have a 2012 Camry and it still runs fine. I'm trying to replace it with a new one but dealers are pretty stubborn on price. My prior car was a 2000 Avalon and I put on 350K miles and there was nothing wrong with it when I traded it in. I still see the old Avalons on the road in my area.
My scion xB had like 320,000 super rough miles on it, I abused the car even leaving it on onetime without realizing it for several hours, started to heat up with bad head gasket, replaced it myself and now I’m at 368,000 and she is good to go another 200,000 miles
My dad bought a 1978 Toyota Corolla.The car outlast him.
The car is still with us.Will never sell it.
Almost 1 mil mileage
Only once transmission rebuild done, engine still original.
God bless you dad.

As a former used car dealer, I highly advise y'all to stay away from the Ford Fusion. It is reliable, until something breaks down, and it becomes a nightmare, because that something will be expensive. I've see Fusions with the engine block simply cracked on it's side. Have to agree with the rest, You also should of mentioned the beautiful and reliable Mazda-3, even the older ones are super reliable.
Your thoughts on2010 and up Nissan Altima or Maxima ? Thanks.
Just avoid it. Transmission issues left n right. If you want a mid size family sedan, You can get a high mileage Camry, Y; 2012, 2013, 2014. Those Camrys have the bulletproof 6 speed, Non CVT in them and the A/C seldom breaks. If you want Honda, anything newer than 2010 will do. 9 gen Accords with the 2.4L Earthdreams engine are super reliable, High mileage LX are going for around 10k now @@jt8280

I think he just put that Ford on there not discriminate against US cars. The rest are legitimate. If you are outside US, you can also get Daihatsu and Mitsubishi and Suzuki which are good cars too. I'm seriously looking at Daihatsu, they are smaller and simplified Toyotas. I guess you have the Scions.
Thank you 👍

My 2002 Honda Accord is due for maintenance tomorrow, I purchased it brand new when I graduated from college. With a mileage of 251,178 as of 4/2/2024, it's holding up well, besides a minor oil leak. It's difficult for me to rationalize purchasing another car when this one reliably gets me from point A to B, costing me an average of around $900 per year for insurance and maintenance combined. The money I've saved from avoiding car payments has given me the flexibility to dine out, travel, or take a much-needed mental health day when necessary. It all comes down to choices. Thank you, Honda, for your reliability!
Thank you for posting this. My daughter was heartbroken 3 weeks ago when she was rear ended on her way to class. Her 18 year old Avalon was totaled.
She graduated from college today and we will be buying her a new to her car with the settlement she received and adding to it as her graduation gift. Hondas are on our short list.
@@christines2787 That sounds like an excellent idea. When I graduated from college, I wanted a BMW, but my mother convinced me to buy the Honda Accord. Now, 22 years later, the car is still amazing. As I mentioned, I only spend $900 a year, which breaks down to about $2.5 per day, for insurance and maintenance..on, non-major maintenance year, its even less! The money saved over the years helped me pay off my initial student loans, save for a down payment on a house, and now provides me with the financial freedom that a fancy, high-maintenance car wouldn't allow. While my co-workers are dragging their feet to work extra shifts to keep up with their car payments, I'm happy doing other things that bring me joy. I'm grateful I listened to my mother's advice 22 years ago!

Great reflective word used “flexibility” life is short make moves …
My 2001 Honda Accord is on it's last leg. I'm the original owner it has 450k miles on it.
I'll keep driving my 1994 toyota camry station wagon.. 30 years old and runs and drives great .
Those are great cars. Toyota made excellent wagons back then.
Does yours have 'Double Wipers' for the back window?
Had a 1990 Camry Station Wagon for 31 years, miss it so much, it was imported from Japan, and never let us down.
Their station wagon is very ugly
I had a 94 sedan and miss it!! Keep it!
@@issavibez394very ugly is very good nowadays because no one will be looking to break into or steal it.
DON’T be fooled into thinking you’ll automatically get another 100k miles on a car just because it’s a certain model/brand. Check out its history and condition as thoroughly as possible. Most cars will get at least 200k if well maintained. The problem is most people don’t keep up with basic maintenance, even oil changes.
No KIA is getting 200k and if it does, it’s bc the engine was recalled/replaced. I’ve had 3. I complained they died at 100k and they said, “What do you expect, it’s a KIA” at the dealership.
This is great advice.
i own a 2010 honda accord, i bought it brand new. my work is 45 miles one way and rack in about 90 miles a day sometimes more. and now its 2023 and had been driving it since 2010, i do keep track of all the maintenance and always ahead of preventing maintenance aswell. its been good to me. i never had a major problem.
Just bought a 2024 Honda accord hybrid. My work is 48 miles away lol. I do 96 miles a day. I’m already at 2,000 miles and I just got the car about a month ago. I’m very happy with it and the gas mileage is great too!
In my opinion Honda engines are extremely well made. As long as you do the maintenance as needed they will easily reach 2 or 300k miles or even more.
@vc3126 Wow
I love the new Honda Accord. That is one sharp car! I love the way they designed it!!
I got Acura TSX 2010 8 years ago with 65.000. This model is the same shape with different name “Honda Accord in Europe”. Got it to 170.000 without any big problems. I feel like it would easily run to 200.000 but I crashed it just a week ago on my way to work. I do 30 miles one way to Chicago and back. No Im on market for new car. And don’t want anything new. Just old school reliable Acura or Honda.

I have a 2004 Corolla and it has run without a hiccup reliably since. It still gets 40 mpg on the highway. I sometimes think about getting something newer, but then ask, why? I’m almost 80 and don’t do as much driving anymore, and car insurance has gotten so expensive, especially on newer cars. This car will probably outlive me.
I agree. I am 67 and own a 2012 Camry and a 2018 RAV4, both purchased new. I will hang onto them as long as possible. These cars could outlive me. I even do my own maintenance to keep costs very low. New cars are a joke. And Toyota is now woke, so no way do I plan to visit them again!
I’m 28 and I’m gonna drive my 2005 Corolla til I’m 80

I thought you had forgotten the Accord. I bought a 05Accord 4 years ago for $2500. I changed myself a couple of things. Timing belt, water pump, brakes. Also I replaced spark plugs, ignition coils and suspensions. After that I have been driving it every day for 4 years. No problems at all. Now reaching 215000 miles. Those cars are made to last. The only issue was a recall regarding air bag, but they fixed it at the dealership for free.
Must be the V6, the 2.4 has a timing chain. V6 autos crap out.
I've got a 2009 V4 - 103,000 mi and runs like new. Fabulous car, although the in town mileage isn't that good. Honest 30 on the highway.

Bought a Honda with no debt. Obviously smart!

1992 Volvo 940T with 354,300 miles.
1993 Volvo 240 with 284,200 miles.
1998 Volvo V70 with 292,434 miles.
All have original engines and transmissions. I do routine stuff, oil, filters, wiper blades, and tires. That's it. These cars are bullet proof. Heavy, solid, safe...easy to work on. No book value. Cost pennies to insure, and due to age are exempt to yearly emission testing.
Volvo is now a Chinese owned company, I would not even consider purchasing a Volvo.
@@supermash1 I wouldn't either. Older ones made in Sweden, yes.
When companies outsource to China, that's the end of quality, and reliability.

Local Volvo dealership had a big picture of Volvo 240 model at the entrance with a comment saying that there was never a fatality reported for people in this model.
Volvos were my go to last forever for many years. Then the company was bought out by a few different entities. The product suffered - especially so when they were taken over by a Chinese owned co.

same w my 2012 mazda 3 ! 220k miles and only ever had a coolant leak! best handling and best experience , it's simply a more fun honda with arguable reliability if you find the right one

I’ve got a beautiful 2005 Chrysler 300 Limited. 3.8L and currently has 204k miles on it. I paid $3000 for it 7 years ago. ( yes I got a great deal as pre owner was in need of cash at that moment) This 300 has been, hands down the best vehicle I have ever owned in my life. Hands down the best! Keeping up on your maintenance can make all the difference.
And the 300 is not boring. Imagine driving a Corolla and thinking you're smart. It's hard to explain to the idiots who watch these videos and drink the kool-aid.
It’s been my experience that those 300s all have something major go bad at some point and it costs more then the car is worth to fix it.
Alot of people don't do proper maintenance and that leads to costly repairs that's why toyota is my fav. You can abuse the hell out of them and they keep on ticking
I have a 2009 300 with the V6. It´s always been reliable and fun to drive.
The Fusion is loosing its head gasket at around 100k miles, not to mention most tech’s do not want to repair it because of high return rates on the same repair.. it should not be on this list.
Agree - the regular Ecoboost motor has known issues. The hybrid variant however are highly reliable.
Guess the heads are warping due to heat.
I would also stay away from the WRX and STi versions of the Impreza unless you know the history of the car. They tend to be favored among drivers who modify them and drive "enthusiastically".
same witht he civic, unless you can get a 1 owner from an older gentlemen who has service records or car fax at dealership of maintance.

So sad to part with it as I need more legroom for the kids in the back. I've taken it off paved roads so many times and it gets back to main road and with no problems and drives smooth as butter. And the handling is like nothing else I've owned. This is my 26th car.
We own a 2007 Camry XLE. 3.5L 6 cylinder. (Top of the Line back then)
We bought it new back in early 2007 and we only have 91K miles on it today.
To us it is worth more then a new car. If we sold it today we would only get around $5K-$6K for it.
Not worth it since this car runs so well.
We plan on keeping it another 10 years.
My mother had a Toyota Corolla 2010 model that she only put 35k miles on. One of the best cars ever
Keep that Camry I absolutely love that generation of Camry’s 2007-2011 they idle and drive so well and they are tanks that camry will be around for a very long time my next door neighbor still has her 1992 camry v6 xle and the car looks and drives great with just 140,000 on the dash these cars are one of the very best please keep it you’ll be glad you did I own four
I’ve had 5 Camus beginning in 1992 to my last new 2016. I believe the 2007-xxx. generation the best. I still own and drive
my 2007 V6 LE. It has 127k miles and runs great. Also have a 2016 4cyl LE I bought new with 55k miles. I know I’d regret selling my 2007. That generation was bullet proof. Have replaced alternator and water pump.
@@Lee-di9jn. I found a 1992 V6 LE Camry for my mom. It was the best used car I ever purchased.
Got it around 2004 and was phenomenal! I think it was a Lexus in disguise! It still smelled new inside.
@@imagrandpa it pretty much is a Lexus being that Toyota and Lexus are related Toyota manufactured Lexus I take my Lexus es 350 to the Toyota dealership for repairs they too help to keep the car running I love that my Lexus shares a similar platform as the Toyota Camry just in a tuxedo they are pretty much the same car
2011 Toyota Prius, 238,000 without any mechanical failure or hybrid system problems. Unfortunately the CVT is starting to go but words can’t express how much money this car saved me over 10 years of ownership!
We bought new matching 2012 Toyota Prius's
Wife's has 188,000 mine just flipped 300,000
Never needed to replace the batteries 🪫 yet!!
Love 💕 our cars!!
Did you change the CVT fluid every 50k-60k miles like you're supposed to?
My 2015 mazda 6 has 271k miles. Still drives like new and the interior has held up super well with nothing breaking or tearing. Only oil changes, an engine mount, and tranny oil change every 30k miles after i hit 120k Miles on original tranny fluid. And it shifts just smoothly as ever. I've been very impressed with the quality and lack of maintenance. Just keep those battery terminals clean to avoid corrosion!
Does it have a cvt transmission?
@@sl4983 no. It's a 6 speed shiftable Automatic. It even has a dipstick and oil drain for easy fluid replacement.
Mine is at 237,499 miles and only thing I’ve changed are the ball joints at 215k miles and regular oil changes. This Mazda 6 has been way more reliable than any of the other Hondas or Toyota’s I’ve had.
😊
diesel or petrol?
I currently have a 2017 Toyota iA with 284k on the engine/chassis and boyyyyy does it still shockingly drives smooth as silk. Of course there are wear and tear which is typically in any car but no major issues at all. I think it may possibly be able to hit 500k to 1 mil if proper maintenance is done regularly. Wanted a Tesla M3 or MS but decided to postpone. Love Tesla but super unreliable.
Honda Fit. You can fit a 9’ surfboard and a few others on the side and shove two kids in back. Easy to park, great on gas and never breaks
Not totally with the fusion. Rest yes. Friend had a fusion and it was plagued with transmission codes followed by major tranny problems just around 100k miles. Seems it inherited and carried problems over from the Taurus.
Mazda has done great since it's distanced itself from Ford ventures of the 90's.
Ive got a 2013 Civic - as advertised, it's reliable and an fine car. One problem though. For reasons I cannot fathom (and were fixed in 2014) Honda tilted the center of the dash toward the driver. The result is a loss of foot room for the passenger - which I usually am. My knee is much too close to the dash for comfort. But maybe you're smaller. But I do wish I'd sat in the car before going to the broker.
I got the 2013, civic Si, an accord motor in a Civic, with a posie and a six-speed, love it.
I bought my Toyota Camry brand new in 2003 but had to get rid of it in 2019 after it started to overheat as soon as I cranked it up. It had about 220,000 miles though.👍🏻
4-6 years of that time Toyota had engine gel problem and other quality issues.
I shopped Impreza late last year. A four-year-old 50,000 mile example was on offer for almost the same price as a brand-new comparably equipped one. I bought the Crosstrek because the higher ground clearance made egress easier, and the standard trans on the Crosstrek is a six-speed instead of a five-speed.
😢
Good thing you got a manual transmission while you could. For 2024, Subaru no longer offers a manual transmission in the Impreza or the Crosstrek.
@@TK-xk9jz I'm almost afraid to drive it because I won't be able to replace it if it becomes damaged beyond repair.
@@5610winstonjust don't go drag racing with it, it should be fine. don't be too afraid of newer CVTs too.... blame Nissan for tarnishing the technology but it's gone better now.
@@raykupal There's an old saying: You can't polish a turd. At least they aren't doing the DCT thing.
Toyota and Hondas and Mazdas!
I learned as a top-tier auto salesman that the automotive industry is fashioned to keep us in debt, chasing the new and shiny thing.
The problem is not the dealers, but the customers who bit the hook. I know many, many people who bought the payment and have no idea that they got the shaft. They don't even care. I have a 2014 ES 300h with 315k on it (I drive for work). Literally zero repairs, not even brakes. Just tires, oil, $13.5k all-in and a $216 payment at 5% (I bought it used).
Sometimes the new is worst than the older ones! We currently have a 2014 Accord with i4, but no way I'd want a new one with the turboed engine. Also look at safety rating, which not many ppl look into. Did you know the new Toyota Sienna has only a 3 star safety rating?! The olders have 4 and 5 star! Recently in Australia 9 ppl died in a new Sienna! Even a Kia Sedona has 5 ***** safety rating!
So the moral is don’t ever buy new?
I dunno. The Subarus all seem to suffer either head gasket failures or massive engine oil leaks. The Fusion seems to have lots of transmission failures. A $1,000 for a replacement hybrid battery pack - are you sure about that? Zero to 100 in 4 seconds? - you must mean kph not mph and even that is still quicker than I would expect out of any car on this list. My general advice is to avoid any car with a continuously variable automatic transmission, and avoid any car with direct fuel injection. Most cars would last longer if they were more frequently maintained and driven slower: I suggest oil changes every 2,500 miles and auto trans service every 25,000 miles. Learn to drive a few mph under the speed limit and that will also help to extend vehicle life.
Subaru gasket failure occurs when people drive them like idiots. Don't slam a cold engine or floor the pedal all the time, it's a responsive engine that does not need massive fuel intake to get it to go. make sure your radiators and air intakes are good to cool it. It's my daily driver and I barely touch the peddles and that baby is responsive. I almost never go past 4000 revs on it because it can pick up speed without much effort, and I LOVE overtaking cars, but I don't need to ram my engine to the max. If I was flooring it every time, I would blow my gaskets, and burn a ton of fuel, put unnecessary stress on my motor and tranny and tires and breaks. And blow gaskets. But again, I don't even know WHY you would need or want to do that because they accelerate excellently without much effort under normal operation, you will never blow a gasket driving it normally, ramming it is another story, but that's with any car.
@@victoriadedicova Subarus are not the only car that benefit from sane gentle driving. I don't think that you are trying to suggest that Subaru gaskets and seals are extra fragile compared with other manufacturers. I don't have any personal experience with Subarus as I've never owned one. I do have a sister who bought one, in part on the pitch that they were reliable. She is a gentle driver - yet her Subaru seemed to end up with one issue after another. She put up with it for a couple of years before trading it in.
@@Thomas63r2 not what I said. I think the blown gasket situation is exaggerated and falsely .add to seem that it's exclusive to Subarus. I think any car that people treat as a rases car when it is not designed for it will blow gaskets more than it's designed to. Abuse will do that. I think a better indicator would be model specific comparison. If they are mostly modified Impurezas or WRS then you have your answer. I know people who've blown gaskets on Civic. And yes, they were not using the vehicle as proscribed.
@@victoriadedicova All I can say is there seem to be more blown head gasket, and leaky engine case, videos on Subarus on RUclips by far than for other manufacturers - and I'm not talking about modified cars, just regular cars. RUclips mechanic's channels seem to single out the Subaru for head gasket and engine case sealing issues. I think that even Subaru has redesigned their replacement head gaskets and it may now be less of an issue. As they say, your experience may vary.
@@Thomas63r2 2011 Legacy, easy keeper. Preventative maintenance at 100,000 miles including timing belt. Only issue was rust that I had removed by back wheels. The car complaints website gave it their Seal of Awesome. I go by year in a model. They aren't the same.
I had 2 subaru a impreza and a outback and they are not reliable at all, if you need to change the head gasket it cost over 2k. No more subaru for me. Visit to the garage are way too often. I have a old infiniti G 2011 since 2015 and its what i call a reliable car and at a reasonable price.
my brand-new from japan impreza had oil consumption issues instantly, and the short block was replaced (by the goddamn dealership) with under 2,000 miles on the engine, which i put on the car. they worked on the car for over 4 months, although i did get a loaner at no cost.
within a week or less of the car's 10th anniversary, it started to burn oil and coolant so badly, i had to top them off ever two to three tanks.
never again.
70 percent of all the Honda I bought over the years had serious head gasket problems including the junker I'm driving now. The previous owner said perfect car
Been driving it for 3 years and major extra coolant I had to use
Probably could have bought 3 extra cars over the years with the amount of coolant I wasted.
Sellers will always lie, so get it checked it out by a mechanic
@@theluckyman74 cant trust nobody. Buy used from a dealership where you will get a 90 day guarantee or they fix it up before selling it. Buying off the street is a huge no for me. Complete scums and frauds, avoid private sellers at all costs.
@@RobertDooshI've heard this many times. After months of research I'm buying a Mazda. Narrowing down the model maybe new or used. I'm taking my time to learn everything mazda
I agree and laugh when someone talks about how reliable subarus are. It's rare for their gutless boxer 4 bangers to get much past 150k without a 3k headgasket job. It was 2k job pre biden.
1995 Honda Accord 4 cylinder. Still running strong .
My 06 Honda Civic Hybrid gave in with 197k miles I got it 2 years ago with 150k miles for $1700 my dad’s friend hooked him up. I currently got a 2012 honda accord with 112k miles literally great condition in white paint with 2016 honda accord rims clean title for 14k flat. The car is a beauty. 🙂 good to know that honda accord is king of midsize sedans.
I got 315k on 09 Prius. Never took to dealer yet. 3k miles synthetic oil change. Spark plugs, fuel injectors every 50k. Car runs like new still getting 50mpg. No loss in power since new
Nice!
The Subaru Legacy (#5) has either a “boxer” four, or a boxer (“ H “) six, not a “V-6” engine. It’s called “boxer” because the pistons move horizontally, opposite to each other, like a boxer throwing punches.
More people been knocked out by upper cuts and that's what a V6 and V8 does. My Impala is a 2011. Is like new. I only have to change the oil. Very reliable car. I only buy American 😅
Boxer engines have one major problem. If it needs even a minor job like replacing a lifter it requires you to pull the engine out of the car to get access to the head. Most even minor jobs involving the engine require you to pull it out of the car. That adds a few grand to most jobs
@@LBS-qw8gf I buy reliable, from anywhere.
And they are well known for repeated head gasket changes at around $5000 every 40k miles or so.
Legacy comes in manual transmisión 🤔
2011 Camry here. I bought it for 8K in 2019 with 95K miles on it. It now has 135K. I had to get new brakes struts and tires but I think this car will outlast me.
Are struts the same thing as shocks?I here a rattling noise from the back tire
#2 2011 Toyota Camry can also be my 2011 Toyota Venza, essentially a Camry station wagon with 20" wheels. Same engine, trans, brakes, etc, but better looking and a huge area in the back for groceries.
Yip Camry and Accord well deserved top spots 👌 Oh and Camry has cruise control too.
We currently have just over 322.000 miles on our 05 Camery XLE. Sedan.
Any expensive repairs?

I was offered I think a 2015 Honda Accord with cruise control for $6K a couple years ago when my car expert friend told me it was worth $10K - I vacillated and it was sold the next day for $6600 - now I see it recommended as number 1 here - dayum.
I bought a 2013 Mazda 6 with a 4 cylinder engine just before the pandemic for about 12K Canadian. The engine is surprisingly powerful and torquey. Great car, I really like it. VERY reliable. Runs great with about 115,000 km on it. Will easily go for another 10 years,
My 2012 Corolla LE has 168K trouble-free miles on it. Best car I have ever owned!
I do not own one. I own a 1995 Accord because it is my preferred option. I sold all the other cars I had. I am a professional truck driver and I do not give much attention to little cars . However, I am here to tell you this; the best balanced and reliable and affordable car in the Word today is YOURS - Toyota Corolla. Hands down.
Corolla's are awesome. 244k miles on mine and running strong!
I have a 2004 Toyota Tacoma Extra cab , 2.4 L with a 5 speed , truck still runs great , no issues . Also have a 2005 Saturn Vue with a 2.2 L automatic that runs great as well I keep the maintenance up and keep both vehicles clean and detailed as well . Neither one have given me any problems so I will keep them until they finally wear out lol . Paid for , cheap property taxes , that’s good in my book .
I still love my 2008 Toyota Highlander. Not great on gas but I bought it in 2007 and the only thing I have had done was new alternator this last year. Not bad for a 16 year old car.
We bought our 2007 Honda Pilot new. It has 200k on today and runs very well. Love my 2016 Toyota Sequoia as well. It has 100k on it and runs like a champ.
When you're on the internet and see a random youtube channel with a random car video and then suddenly, your home town pops in at 4:00 xD
4:46 Are you sure about the "I-four" and "V-six" engines? That sure looked like a boxer (horizontally opposed) engine to me.
I can't stand when a source that Clearly is relied on such as this video can't even get the facts right. If this is supposed to be an informative top 10 video it should at least be correct about engine types
I picked up on that as well. It's really not that hard to get engine configurations correct.
I just did a round trip from Ohio to newyork and back. I used my 2009 accord 145k miles. And thanks God. No problems at all. I did not speed over 65m
The fusion isn't fantastically reliable. If you want a fusion, stay away from the 1.5 and 1.6. cracked cylinders/blown headgaskets below 100k miles requiring a replacement engine. Its a widespread issue on the fusion and escape, beinging several recalls due to complaint levels. Those engines are true nightmares, and it really shows a lack of research in this video. If you're dead set on one, get the 2.5 which IS proven reliable. Also, make sure the transmission has been serviced or you may face issues there. With the subarus listed, it really depends on the years. Early 2010s variants such as the 2013 mentioned are known for oil burning and sometimes for cvt issues. 2015+ brought a lot of reliability updates to the engine and transmissions on Outback\legacy and impreza. After 2015, they dont have nearly as many complaints
Yes, the i4 2.5LT engine is great. No direct injection, just multi-port fuel injection, and no turbo --- yea! My Fusion has not cost me much over the 8.5 years owned. I purposely bought the SE with the base engine to avoid the woes.
Do yourself a big favor buy a Ford panther platform either the Crown Vic or the Marquis. They are reliable easy to fix and parts fairly inexpensive. I know guy who runs a local cab company. He has Crown Vics in daily use today who have been regularly maintained properly with over 700,000 miles on them 😳
I had a chance to buy a high mileage '04 Ford Crown Vic, but ended up getting a high mileage '05 Toyota Camry instead. I already regret my decision to pass on the Vic, even with the awful dealer reviews.
@@hakeemsd70m The Crown Vics are still available but getting more difficult to find and the prices are going up fast.
We have three crown vics. All with over 500.000. Miles. One has 667.000. Miles. They are amazing tanks. Little maintenance
@@captainamericaamerica8090 100% co-sign. My friend's grandfather died and as we were cleaning out his house I open up the garage and under about an inch of dust it was a Crown Vic. I asked him what he was going to do with it he said I don't want to give me $500 and it's yours. Attached to charger to it and the engine came to life immediately. Once I got it out and realized what I had I was a proud owner of a 2004 Crown Vic LX Sport 😁. 77,000 miles. P

0:29 yeah, auction price. Dealership is gonna put that Corolla up to $15k
Very useful info.. nothing to beat Toyota and Honda...👍👍👍
For the past couple of years Mazda vehicles have been more reliable than Honda... actually they are up there with Toyota.
Mazda. Quality and fun to drive.
I own a 2012 Genesis,V6. Super nice car, very well equipped. It just now flipped to over 100,000 miles. You really have to watch your speed in this car, very fast.
My dad owns 2012 Accord, we bought it brand new on my birthday 🥳 but I totally agree with the list. Apart from tire and routine maintenance it has cost us nothing. And it is still fun and powerful to drive and having no CVT its a blessing.
I bought my 2012 Accord with only 5k miles on it in 2013. Everything works fine with just regular maintenance. I plan on getting new struts and new spark plugs next week. It now has 95k miles and I plan to keep it another 10 years. Great car!

2015 toyota corolla owner here. Had it since day 1 and I have been the only owner. 86K miles on it and not a single major repair. I have been keeping with maintenance, transmission fluid changed at 65K miles, every 2 years break fluid change, on time oil changes, and at 82K, I changed the spark plugs, every year I change the cabin and engine air filter and breaks and tires. I am hoping this car lasts at least 250K miles. For it's 10th year I am planning on doing a full exterior and interior detail to make it look brand new.
But will these cars drive from Michigan to Florida safely and reliably?
Easily
.
All day! I move to Florida from Ohio and we drive every summer back to Ohio to visit family in our 2002 Toyota sequoia with 263k and has never left us stranded. Only thing I have done is suspension upgrades, brakes, timing belt/wate pump 2 year ahí because it had the original parts still. Can’t complain. In fact, we have an 06 Lexus Gs300 with 202k, a 2011 Civic with 190k, a 08 scion Xbox with 162k and a 01 Lexus is300 with 147k. All run and drive.
That's certainly something to consider. I wouldn't feel comfortable taking them on a long road trip. I need something to get me from A to Z more than once a year, but then again for in city commutes an older reliable car is the way to go. Too many crazies out there.
@@jimc4839
The Fusion is a Mondeo in the UK, I have a 2ltr 210 bhp Diesel Auto Estate (Stationwagon). To look after the transmission you must change the oil every 2-3 years or 36K miles without fail, never skimp on engine oil changes either. The old transmission oil after 3 years is in a pretty nasty state. In the UK this costs the equivalent of 500 US dollars. A number of firms use them as fleet taxis and with regular maintenance they can exceed 300K.
They are significantly worse in the US. Plus of course we don’t have a diesel option. Just your choice of gas engines that will blow up. Just a matter of how soon?
The 2013 Honda Civic I have IS reliable so far I've driven it on tons of stuff it wasn't designed for too for 20,000 miles and mechanics can't find anything to upsell me on everything is still flawless and I drive on dirt roads
Amazing with all info out there people still don't just buy toyota or Honda. Longest lasting, cheapest to maintain, and best resale value.
There are no cars that won't break.
I bought a used 2015 Honda Accord with a zippy 2.4L 4 cylinder engine with 14k miles on it for $14k in 2018. Today, it runs like a champ with just 87K miles on it and it should last another 100k miles. The only maintenance I've ever done on it is replace the battery, the front break pads, a new set of tires, and regular 5K synthetic oil changes. It's roomy and comfortable. The best thing about it is that I own it outright, no car payments. It is the best deal I ever got for a car.
thanks for the video, its a very nice list...
Really? The accord was the only car on the list worth a purchase.
The older Subarus Legacy came with H6 boxer and H4 boxer engines , not V6 engines .
I mine the Subaru but they sometimes burn oil very badly. The cost to fix the issue is thousands of dollars.
You have to put the right oil. Had to change out oil within a month because the geniuses at a big repair shop put the wrong oil in.

Pretty good, I only question the Accord as one over the Camry, Accord is slicker, amazing in so many ways, so I won't get started. But reliability? Got to hang with the Toyota product for that one.
As an avid Prius enthusiast I have to say that he is not wrong about a 2010 Prius, but BEWARE, that model year is the only year to have had head gasket issues. So make sure the car has already been serviced for that or just go to a 2011+ model year. They're about the same price and you'll save yourself alot of headache.
That whole 2010 to 2015 era has problems. Best to be avoided unless they were well maintained with documentation.
I don't know why this guy picked that year. 2010 is among the worst model years for a Prius.
I have a 2012 Camry and it still runs fine. I'm trying to replace it with a new one but dealers are pretty stubborn on price. My prior car was a 2000 Avalon and I put on 350K miles and there was nothing wrong with it when I traded it in. I still see the old Avalons on the road in my area.
