Scotty Kilmer, definitely approved this video, lol 😁

Horse power doesnt impress me Reliability does!

Just took my new 2021 Lexus LS500 out fir the first time. What a great ride. Engine was smooth as silk before I knew it I was doing over 80. No turbo lag there. This was a good decision instead of a Benz

I have a 2001 Toyota 4Runner. Over $210,000 miles on the clock and runs very well, still. With simple maintenance, it's bulletproof. Great video!

2008 Lexus RX350 with 225k on the odometer. Did the first spark plug change at 200k. I expect to do the second “tune up” at 400k. It’s been a bulletproof vehicle and I have absolutely no complaints about the vehicle

If you are buying for YOU.....buy a Toyota/Lexus, Honda/Acura, These owners don't KNOW a good mechanic...don't know ANY mechanics!! If you are wanting to impress your snobby friends & invite a carjacking....LEASE (never buy) a European car. These folks KNOW all the mechanic shops...with mechanics named Dieter, Hans, Manfred, Pierre, Antonio, Nigel, & Enzo....speaking with a Euro accent, & having croissants & Greek yogurt in waiting room ! !

I’d like to add my 1992 740 Volvo to this list. It has almost 500K miles with all original drivetrain. Nothing but diligent maintenance and never left anyone stranded. It has never needed a tow either.

I am the original owner to a '06 BMW 325XI (E90) with 268,000 miles. This has been the most reliable car I have ever owned!

I own a Mazda 626 Sedan in Prestige Silver colour, 1990 model ... bought brand new in Melbourne, Australia as a gift from my father for my 18th birthday. He paid $ 32,000 Australian dollars for it back then! It's now 32 years old, has done 500,000 kilometres (310,000 miles) and l continue to drive it daily. Has never failed me. Unbelievable car. I cannot part with it. My first and so far, only car ...!! It still looks like new and has always been outside for its entire 32 years, so far. People cant believe it!

Back in 1995, I was stationed at Adak, Ak. with a car that made everyone laugh every time we see it on the road. It was an old Honda Civic (I don’t recall what year or model) but I’m guessing an early 80’s model. Rounder angled and stodgy looking civic!! Anyhow the reason it was so comedic was that it was such a rust bucket with a missing hood, thereby exposing the engine in plain view. The car would be seen once or twice a week by us being driven around the base. What was so amusing was with no hood , when it snowed which was a very frequent thing in Adak island, the engine and the engine bay would be covered with snow and ice with icicles everywhere. But this ordinary-looking ugly brown civic was an un-killable machine due to it being continuously being driven through the cold and snow in one the most hostile environment that I can think of.

I had a 1989 Ford F 250 4.9 straight six. Truck lasted 600,000 miles. It also had a three speed overdrive manual transmission. Another great truck was the Ford ranger early 1990s with a 3. 0 V6. Trucks were bulletproof and lasted 4 to 500,000 miles.

342,000 Miles on my 94' Celica. $79.00 for one Projector light bulb on an 2007 LEXUS ES350.... I will keep my 94' Celica. Thank you!

The company I work for has a fleet of Honda Fits from 2011-2013. Most of those have 250,000-300,000 + miles on them. One has 376,000 miles on it. They all have the original engine and transmission. They've basically only had oil and filter, tires and brakes. No flushes, or fluid change outs. They are always seriously abused and idle alot. While not my style, I'm seriously impressed with how they've held up.

Lexus has been consistently the most reliable luxury car - bar none.

My geology friend has a 2012 tacoma and he puts that thing to the test. We went so many places I was sure we were digging out way out of. but the high belly and narrow frame lets it act as a transition between pick up and quad; out on the logging roads. He paid 400$ to have the entire thing detailed and after 10 years of hard work its still in top shape.

I bought a 2014 Lexus ES. It’s nice to be reassured I mad a solid purchase. Thanks for the help, before I bought it, you videos helped me make my car choices.

Life is too short to spend time at the mechanic shop, LOL.

My Fleet: 2009 Lexus RX350 178k, 2010 Camry SE, 135k, 2010 Toyota FJ Cruiser 99k, 2006 Toyota Tacoma 4D V6,170k... all are fun and 100% reliable...

Great reviews, got my old Acura 2005 TSX at 352K right now, and have a 2014 Lexus GS 350 sitting at at 82k but looking for a lot more. Thanks for the great reviews👍

The Camry's have gotten pretty sexy in recent years

If you don't wanna have a joint custody with the mechanic. Stay in the Lexus/Toyota line. That's what I learn from this video.

Always very informative. Thank you.

Good morning Mark, great list of vehicles, love the Porche 🥰😎🔥👍, stay safe my friend 😊

Great lineup of quality cars to keep an eye open for. I particularly liked the fact that you highlighted specific models to look for. Thanks again!

Mazda miata likely is a solid performance car. Only car i ever owned that cornered like it was on rails was an ‘87 hyundai stellar. Gutless 4 door sedan. But could take nearly any corner at any speed. It was the first year of the front strut design and rear coils. I believe having 52% of the cars weight on the rear wheels was the reason for the crazy handling. Great video. Keep them coming.

96 Toyota sienna was my first experience with having a Toyota. Bought it brand new and put 350,000 miles on it. Sold it for $2000 and the engine still ran as good as the day I bought it. Have a Toyota Tacoma that has 150,000 miles on it and giving it to my son. Wife bought a Highlander last year and I plan on getting a forerunner at some point this year. Yes I’m a believer!

I have had 15 Lexus cars and SUV’s since 1998. These are by far the most reliable vehicles on the market today and hopefully for years to come. Thank you for the great information you provide to all of us!!

I’m skeptical about that Porsche being reliable long term. I was a little surprised about that Miata, but the rest of the cars I would totally agree. You should add the Toyota Corolla.

Mannn. Japanese cars are so reliable and long lasting. Thumps up. My BMW and Merc already had problems within 6 years with less than 100k miles. They costed me fortunes to maintain. Damnnnn

Lexus outperforms other luxury rivals

I own a 2013 Honda Civic with 491000 at the moment .original clutch,wheel bearings,starter, alternator.I replace lower ball joints on the front end that’s about it.been a fantastic car for me🤘

what A Great Review of the Cars, keep it up and Thank You for the info!

I am glad you show the 4 runner waiting for the 22 . I did sell one with 100.000 and did back half of money but screw up brought Elcave

Great video very informative 👍😀

Extremely informative, helpful, valuable video. Very grateful for your effort, time and sharing your deep knowledge of a wide array of vehicles. Thank you. 🇨🇦👍🏻😉🇺🇸🇨🇦😉👍🏻🇺🇸

My buddy has a 2003 ES 350 with 187,000 miles that has never been garaged in the Florida heat. Still runs like a charm and never had any problems with just basic maintainance. So I am convinced that these Toyotas are the best daily drivers to own for the long term. Decided to buy one as an experiment to see how long they last .

Quite a number of years ago I purchased a 2004 Lexus ES330 for my wife. Once she was done with it and moved on to an RX350, I refused to get rid of the car because it runs so good. both my son's learned to drive on that car. finally, earlier this year my father in law needed a car so with 230,000 miles I sold it to him for $1. then he proceeds to find .68 of change left in the car so he brags that he got a Lexus for $.32. He corrected some body issues and the car is still going!

Very Good info do, Thanx allot!!

Another great report You make us aware of all the features and options That’s valuable information of items even some of the sales brochures don’t mention Bravo 👏🏻 from Las Vegas Craig ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 stars

Back in the late 1980's when Lexus came out, I said that once they (Lexus and Toyota) could incorporate safety into their vehicles that they would rule the world. They certainly have done both. No longer are poorly engineered vehicles from Europe or domestic desired by those who know quality.

“Here’s a car that will last till the 2nd coming of Christ... the Honda Civic” 😂😂

I just bought a 2024 es 350. I absolutely love the stereo upgrade with no touch pad. It's almost identical, but with a few tweaks in the interior and grill styling. I am looking forward to driving this for the next decade. I do have a 2016 ram 1500 big horn. I'm lucky to say it just hit 110. With only work done was fluid changes and brakes. I'm a care nut, so I tend to coat most engine area electric with linseed oil to take care of the new England electrical corrosion issues. The truck still drives like new still. I use it as an actual truck. I'm sure shocks will be next. Great video and very informative. Wanted to trade it in for the new Trundra, but I have over a dozen friends constantly bring them into the shop. Im not convinced on the turbo 6 yet

Yeah you got me as your new sub! Thanks so much for your advice

The oil dilution issue didn’t affect the Accords, just the civic and CRV’s. I have a 2019 accord sport with the 1.5 turbo. It’s a year and a half old, bought it brand new no issues to date.

I have a 2007 Toyota Tacoma with 274,000 miles. Other than tune ups, brakes and tires, I've only had to replace the alternator and a valve cover gasket (incredibly easy to change on this vehicle). Runs as good as the day I bought it! Next vehicle I ever purchase with be a sequoia hybrid hopefully!

Your vids make my morning so much more sweeter....thanks :)

Just love your show!!..❤❤😊

The Toyota Avalon is really a Lexux ES 350 with Toyota pricing and the same reliability. I shopped for one for my son and ended up buying with a substantial discount. I own a 2013 Miata Club 6-speed. Joe McLaughlin in the Dallas area took out the 2.0 Liter and put a 2.5 liter Turbo in in. 330 HP!....... and power to weight ratio of a 2020 Corvette

The 96-02’s with the 3.4 5VZ-FE, and the 03-09’s with the 4.7 V-8 are legendary. Really, besides the 3.0, 4runners are one of the greatest vehicles ever.

Love your videos man keep em up

Excellent video and thorough analysis.

Owned my 1999 Honda Accord type r for 16 years now. Its done 230,000 miles, still drives and vtec's great. All I do is service it regularly.

Scotty Kilmer likes this (except for the Porsche, I guess). Joking aside, thank you for yet another great and informative video, Mark. Among these cars, my personal choice would be Honda, both Civic and Accord, although a bit older version with the naturally aspirated engine and manual transmission (just a personal preference). I like Hondas because they look like an ideal balance between reliability on one hand and excitement of driving on the other.

Great video and I agree 100% with you on these car choices. We got a 2020 Camry SE and its been problem free since purchase. The 2015 Ford Fusion SE we traded in for it wwas terrible.

Nice job thanks!

YEP, you're definitely spot on .... always love your reviews

I suspect the 2.0L Honda civic will outlast the 1.5 turbo civic.

Great video, great information going to put it to good use, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge God Bless All ❤️

Thank you for sharing

76k miles on my Gen1 Volt. Solid car, inside and out. Battery= 2-3% battery degradation, can still get 50 miles out of a single charge.

It's strange that most car buyers just do not care anymore about long term reliability. In the 80s reliability was talked about by almost everyone. In fact reliability seemed to be a bigger issue than looks performance, style or even rust to most people.

Great video! I believe the 2021 Honda accord comes with a 1.5 L turbo charged 190 hp engine, thanks! Keep up the good work!!

Love these reviews thanks so much

“ probably last until the second coming of Christ”🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I drove my 2016 Lexus ES 350 for 800K Kilometres in period of 3 years

I bought a 1998 Toyota Sienna with 95K miles. I did 200+ miles with it for a total of 300K miles and traded it in with another Sienna 2007. I drove less since I have been working at home for years. But it is still working very well with 180k miles with not much repairs (add freon gas from time to time). I am not using it often as I now bought a Tesla Model 3 Long Range with the optional acceleration boost. I am in love with that car. I think I will be able to pass the 300K miles with it. We will see.

Very informative

The 2016 Lexus RX with 100,000 miles are still selling for about $30,000 in my area. Re-sale value for Lexus's in gereral is solid.

I have a 2004 Chevy Tahoe with 290,000 miles that runs so smooth that you can't tell it's running unless you're standing next to the tail pipe! And the only things I've replaced besides normal wear items is the water pump and a set of injectors (and it was well past 240k when those items were done!) The only thing that messed up is the OnStar system, which I never used anyway!

I have a 2002 Buick Park Avenue with a 3.8L engine and over 193K miles and it still runs like a new one. It gets over 30 mpg on the road with an average in the mid 20s. My son drives a 2002 Dodge Ram 4-door 2WD with a 360 engine and over 220K miles and it runs great. Not that great on mpg, but more than enough power for anything you need.

I like how you said "blaze of reliability" when talking about the Camry. Good effort trying to make reliability sexy lol. Not sure it worked, but good enough that I subscribed ;

Great list. The Porsche is incredible, being hi performance. But i would put 1 more car on this list. Toyota Prius. I have one, it's 2012, with 620k miles. Drive it everyday.

From all new vehicles, I settled for the 05 escalade. Why? The 05-06 were the last 6 liter iron block engines till they moved to aluminum block which are a nightmare. Mine has 300k miles and still runs like the caddy is famous for.

My 1997 toyota tercel rolled over 300000 a while ago, and still running strong!

Nice report, well done, would be nice to see some actual data

And as Scotty Kilmer says..the best Toyotas are made in Japan.

I have a 2001 Camry v6 with 412k miles. In southern USA no rust. No issues just regular maintenance, several battery, tires and brakes. Done timing belt twice since 2004 no issues.

You are ballin in Alberta rocking them highline cars. It might be puckin

I actually did get a 2019 civic hatch like the blue one here, but in stick, hard model to find. Only time will tell with its 1.5t engine. Good report man

Good job dude

My camry died at 250K, never got to 300k with great maintance.

I sure am learning. Thank you.

7:05 “you’ve got wings… and you’ve got more wings” this cracked me up.

My mom grew up in the country, second gen. American , her dad, my grandfather, after serving in WWII started his civilian life as a pyrotech. He carved roads in mountainsides, and saved his money and started a logging co. He picked me up a couple times and took me along for the ride. He drove that diesel pusher up and down windy skinny dirt switchbacks that would would make your hair stand on end. He told me that anyone can drive a fast car, but not everyone can drive a car fast. It wasn't until my mom taught me how to drive that I understood what he meant. We've all heard the saying, "women drivers no survivors" and as a rule that's not too far off the mark, but for every rule there is an exception. And my mom is one of those exceptions, and subsequently so is my sister, I was riding with her a week or so ago, and I made note of her skill and said to thank mom for showing us both the secrets of the wheel. I drive a POS econo box gerbil on a wheel powered car. Last time I got pulled over the officer asked me, "do you know how fast you were going?" I looked him right in the eye, and asked him, "Did I get to 100, I was trying to wind this thing upto a 100 but I can't take my eyes off the road anywhere near 80 cause it shakes a bit" He started laughing his ass off, cause he knew as well as I did, the only way that car would do 100mph is if I drove it off a cliff. Still prior to pulling me over I was leaving traffic behind me at a furious pace. I should also mention that making the cop laugh and being honest at the same time, remember I said around 80 she get shaky, I was doing 79 mph. He let me go with, "have a nice day" not even a warning. Cops are human too, try treating them that way, whatcha got to lose?

What's the best station wagon out there please? Is it the Hyundai i30 Wagon in lieu of Volvo's high price? Or is it possibly the Subaru Outback?

I asked myself Q) is there anything you don't know about cars? A) I wouldn't bet on it. Fantastic video 👍

I have a 96 Chevy Silverado, 330,000 miles on it. 99 Chevy Blazer right behind it with 324,000 miles on it. Sold my 93 Chevy Cheyenne a couple years ago with the 4.3 with almost 450,000 miles on it. Still runs today.

Lexus and Toyota’s are the best when it comes to reliability and dependability period! I own 3 Toyota’s and 3 Lexus! Best cars/ SUV I ever own:)

Spot on👍🏼

WOW very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work.

Love ❤️ your wonderful videos from OZ 🏁🇦🇺

Nothing short of perfection, music to my ears.

Damn, I love that red Camry interior!!

Great informative vid. Not too surprised to see Porsche here. Porsche has been refining the 911 and it's flat 6 for over 5 decades. I here that many automotive journalists say that the latest 911 generation is "too perfect."

Good review 👍 love Toyota’s and lexus One less headache in life 🙂

Some of those vehicles have CVT transmissions which will bring into question the 300,000 mile longevity.

The "Mezger" engine you mentioned in the Porsche was named after it's designer Hans Mezger, who was the head of the racing team and and head of engineering in the 70s and 80s. So in a nutshell: every Toyota or Lexus 🤣😛 Nice video, love your content! ❤

Is that Toyota Mayfield dealership in Edmonton Alberta Canada? I can remember the surround of your vlog background. I have got 2019 Toyota Corolla SE and wonder how corolla was not one in the list?! Anyway with my great maintenance always with Dealership ( Mayfeild/ west Edmonton mall Toyota dealer) I can go over 300,000 km. without a big and expensive issue to repair !

Hey, just checking in. Have put nearly 250K miles on my 94 Nissan 300ZX (2+2, NA). Will check back in a few more years and add it to the 300K list.
