Sedans That Can Last Over 200,000 Miles OR Even More
With both used and new car prices soaring, it just makes sense to look into one that can last seemingly forever. And reliability and longevity of a car are becoming more important than ever, if you are in the market for a used-car.
Our focus today is on sedans that are able to really go the distance, say for 200,000 miles or even more. While they're far less popular than SUVs, some sedans have enjoyed a long reign as the most popular cars in America, proving these affordable, fuel-efficient and still-practical vehicles remain in demand.
According to iSeeCars study, which analyzed over 14.9 million cars sold in 2021 to determine which models best demonstrate longevity and reliability with the highest percentage of sedans reaching 200,000 miles or more.
There’s no way the Chevy impala is more reliable than a Camry and accord
No way, no how!
Uh, believe it.
He engine swap the Impala with the Camry motor.
Older American cars were built to last my 08 4.6l v8 has over 400k original engine.
@@theshield1613 the 2 valve 4.6 is a good engine
I had a 2008 Corolla that went 500,000 miles and I sold it and it’s still going strong.
My last two vehicles have been 2003 Accord and 2012 Camry. I though the Accord was excellent but this Camry is unbelievable. Hats off to Mr. Toyota.
What do you think about Toyota Eve-lone?
@@miazahmed3930 If you're asking about Electric Vehicles I have no experience or interest in them. Canada is very cold in winter.
I’ve got accord with 325,000 and running like new
I had a 1999 Toyota Corolla that had a moose 300,000 miles on it definitely not Toyota it’s good
I'm currently driving a 2009 Toyota Venza that has approximately 230,000 miles on it, and it STILL runs like a dream!
I have a Chevy Impala 3.9 that has over 257000 miles. There have been no major problems, its oil is changed every 3000 miles. I just tuned it up with platinum 100,000 mile plugs for the second time. It is still running strong because I take care of my car! That is the key for longevity!
Yep, mine lasted a good 250k. No major issues and handled the snow awesome. Not like my subaru but it made its way through.
Regular oil changes are the secret to longevity.
Well you know how to keep it running And Well 😮😮😮😅😅😅😅😅
Honda and Toyota are hands down in a league by themselves.
True!! However, there is one in particular engine that is a beast and super reliable given you do scheduled maintenance!! And its not a Toyota or Honda. I'm talking about GMs 3.8 liter. Commonly found in the Buick LeSabre, Pontiac grand prix, and others. It's a beast man!! But you're right, Toyota and Honda are pretty amazing!!
Its Toyota/Honda and nothing else.
What does it mean - hands down? I don't understand.
@@dominicflorov2752 The phrase 'Hands Down' means Easily, or unquestionably. Example of use: “Rob is hands down the biggest threat for me in the competition.” Do you Understand now?
@@TruthFLA Yes, thanks.
I owned a Corolla to over 220k miles, and currently own a Civic with about 150k. The Corolla only got oil changes, tires and brakes for the first 150k+. I changed the clutch myself in it. A great car! I'm enjoying the Civic now as well even with it's higher mileage.
Cvt? What year
I would love to know what year your corolla was?
camry 138k miles. that corolla car is bulletproof.
problem with carollas is finding a good stick...my '97 automatic is gutless and gets poor gas mileage, but it did make it to 190k before the first 4 digit repair job and has done well since... civics have always been good to me and they never lack for power, I can't think of a better car value for safety+reliability+responsiveness+economy...however buying them used can be tricky because a lot of people abuse them (I've seen the same issue is pretty common here with acura legends) the 1990 accord ran great and was still running great near 300k, minus a few starter issues, but had those annoying automatic drink dumpers that go back and forth every time you turn the key or open or close your door...which forced the move to a 1999 accord which is still moving right along with 365k after some 4 digit transmission and starter work 10 years ago... my favorite car was my '83 accord, which got 35 to 38 mpg and ran so smooth I had to really watch because a couple times on straight portions of isolated freeway crossing the country I thought I was doing 75 and I may have been well into the three digits...it stopped running so well to the day california came out with their unique gas formulation and the mileage instantly dropped into the mid 20s (but I drove it in other states and it miraculously drove better and got 35+)
@@Doing_Time I think i am "stuck" with my camry for a while. my parents bought new and kept them for a long time. the camry will do the same. nicest car i ever owned. bought it used 07 camry in 2018 with 106k miles and put 32k on it. it had some repairs. new water pump. alt. batt.valve cover gasket. powersteering line replaced. needs sunroof motor. needs driver side regulator. but on the whole, it has been pretty good. if anything happens, will buy a toyota or honda. noting else.
I had an '07 Honda Civic that I bought brand new & it had over 220,000 miles by the time I sold it to a friend of mine in 2019. Very reliable car. Wish I could of kept it for the fact I could of made it to 300,000 miles easily. Excellent video!!
I have a 2008 Chrysler Sebring Hardtop Convertible that just turned 100k miles. Own it only 3yrs with the 3.5V6 engine. Runs great very smooth. Only have done maintenance, and recently a little repair to the A/C . Love this car !!
I have a 2007 Chevrolet Impala 3.5 V6 544,288 miles original engine and transmission. As seen on Scotty Kilmer.
Older cars were meant to last My Ford 4.6l v8 has 400k and the other one has 695k miles both original engine.

You got lucky
… you more than likely took care of it: rational driving, good maintenance, and no abusive treatment 👍
That is a miracle.. Chevrolet should give you a new car.. I used to buy new Chevys all the time and by the time they got close to 100K they started to really give trouble..
The Chrysler 300 is "built like a ship?" Yeah…the Titanic.
🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣 lmao
Lol. Funny
Yhea I have the charger 3.6 same engine. Nice looking cars . But needs engine work done at the 100k mark. On the other hand.I have a Kia Forte with 191k it’s running like a champ.
I have a 2002 Nissan Maxima that has 329000km on the clock and is still going strong. I know its not in the 2016 to 2020 range like the video suggests but it was the last of the good Maximas before they had transmission issues after 2002. If you don't lead foot the car too often its economical especially on long trips despite using premium unleaded as a requirement. Great car and it only cost me $1000. My old man has a Camry and he just loves it. Regular service and it goes forever.
Broo I want a fifth Gen soo bad, I have a 1991 maxima and it has never let me stranded but it is slightly lacking in power and the transmission is poo 😂 they underbuilt the transmissions on this generation. It shifts, but it shifts way too slowly. Tuned for confort, not for speed
Great 90s built car. Then 2001, Renault walked in.
@@monkeywkeys3916 yup.
Cool story. That’s 204k miles. Yawn

How you take care of a car plays a significant role, no matter the quality. Yes a high-quality vehicle is better but additional TLC does help. My only American car was a 2000 Lincoln LS that I purchased in 03 with 50000 miles. Traded it in in 2015 with 267000 miles. The only major issue was the air conditioner was out during trade in. Car was still running strong and still beautiful. That's not by accident but how I take care of my cars.
Precisely. Many owners today lack the know-how of vehicle maintenance and blame the manufacturer instead of their ignorance. A BMW M3 can go past 200k the same as a Camry - because I've done it.
@@ssjlkrillin That's one of the main reasons why I've made it a point to learn how to maintain my own car. Unfortunately, the most I can do is change my brake pads and my rotors. And on my previous vehicle, changing the spark plugs was very easy. I would have learned how to change my own oil, but I don't have a jack that can get my car high enough for me to get under it.
Not everyone wants to spend their time working on cars, thats one reason why Toyotas are popular
there are 2 type of vehicle owners, One that buys a car based on reviews and reliability but never actually maintain it at all if ever. And the second are vehicle owners that buy a vehicle regardless the make but properly maintain the vehicle when needed be. The second car owner can have a garbage car but its still in better shape than the 1st owner that has a new toyota but never maintained it for 3+ years and counting. Thereby the second car owner has longer use of his or her buy, and the 1st owner is looking for another new car to trash.
Did you do any maintenance outside oil changes and tires/brakes?
My 2007 Toyota Corolla S, is still going strong at 130,000 miles!!! I purchased it in October of 2006 and have had no major repairs. 16 years old next month!!!😊
You didn’t drive very far
Wow I have a 2015 Corolla S and it already has over 94000 miles. I've put 25000 miles myself since I bought it in 2019. Your Corolla should last you another 16 years. Great, reliable cars

@@alexgonzales8002 I’m not a dude.
My 1st car was a 2003 Toyota Corolla and the ODO was at 121k and it still runs after putting 40k miles on it
I drive a 2009 Camry XLE V6. It currently has 335,000 miles on it and has never been in the shop for a mechanical or other type of repair, just routine wear and tear for brakes, batteries, tires and I did replace the struts. I still get 34-36 highway MPG. I still find it an enjoyable ride and as much as I'd love a new car, I would find this one hard to give up.
I have a 1995 Toyota Camry 4cyl. I had to replace the transmission and regular maintenance for this car. Mileage is 312, 083 miles on it🙂👍🏼

@@subaruamazon Urban roads are brutal on cars. I live in Chicago and sympathize with you. My 2006 Toyota Matrix XR - famous for lasting forever - needed $3K in suspension repairs last year.
I bought a 1988 Honda accord about 12 years ago for 400$ because it was having some overheating issues turns out someone hat cut the cooling fan wire lol. I still drive it TO THIS DAY!! About to hit 200,000 miles 👍I've probably put about $2000 into it. Just got it running again over this last weekend. Man, this car is just a gift that keeps on giving. 😂
Congratulations
2005 Nissan Frontier 4.0L V6... sold it running like New with 225K Miles on it, only fluid changes, spark plugs once at 125K.. currently own a used 07' Ford freestyle with a 3.0L duratec and CVT, with 255K miles on it and it still runs smoothly. All it needed was fluids changed and new plugs and coil packs. I'd imagine lots of cars could last over 200K if they were maintained properly.
I own a 2007 honda civic hybrid 1.3L paired with a CVT, 185K~ miles still starts and runs like a dream. Needed new spark plugs and motor mounts at about 150k~ miles both repairs combined only cost me about 500$ at the shop. Outside of regular maintenance (Tires, oil, etc) I have not needed to bring it in for anything else yet. The only major complaint I have is peeling clear coat but in the end of the day i still get to and from work and get 35MPG in the city which competes with brand new vehicles still, love the car.
I had a 2009 civic hybrid. Perfect car, except for the IMA battery, that failed a couple of times. Traded it in with a full spec 2005 accord exe (euro / CL7), 5 years ago. Absolutely love that old car still. Wouldn't trade it for any Merc, Audi or BMW from that era.
I have an 09 civic hybrid too. I think its underpower but it maybe just my car. Do you guys think its too slow?
Mine certainly isn't fast at all but it runs and drives strong. They were never designed to be quick cars.
I have a 1983 Datsun Maxima wagon, 300k miles. Straight 6 fuel injection. Never been in a repair shop. I do all the maintenance and repairs, which were minor. It still runs like new.
The 2006-2011 Honda Civic in my opinion is one of the greatest cars ever. Reliable, great mileage, handles like a go kart. Nothing breaks on it.
I love my 08 civic EX. 115k miles and never had any issues outside of regular maintenance (Spark plugs, Ignition coils, Oil + filter, tires, brakes, battery and ground cable) The automatic transmission has always felt wonky though and it rarely shifts very smoothly... engine is bulletproof though! Mine was totaled 6 years ago, I just bent the axle back into alignment and keep driving it haha.
2012-2015 honda civic are good as well 2016 to present have to much tech.
I think the only problem with Civics have been those owners who think they are Fast and Furious.
after honda started putting everything cvt is when I just left it out of my shopping list. Their non cvt transmissions are amazing none the less
I have a 2002 Toyota Avalon with 480,000 km’s. I bought it 4 months ago, and it hadn’t even had the timing belt changed since the 120,000km mark in 2006. It still runs like a dream. A $1200 timing belt and water pump job was well deserved. It runs better then a new Korean car. Lots of power. Interior is still in great shape, and it handles the snow like a champ. Its staying in the family forever.
Avalons are sweet. Rather have one than a Lexus
I got a 2001 avalon with 272000 no leaks everything works gd car
I have a 2007 Toyota Camry with 190,000 miles. So far it's only needed basic maintenance on it
200k is a piece of cake to get to for Toyota. Currently have a 2005 Toyota Corolla over 300k with no major repair and still running strong!
No doubt. My 2016 Mini Cooper S has 115,000 and runs like a top. 200,000 miles should not be a "big deal" for most foreign car makers.
me? 06 at 273k
07 camry 146k . i think you are right. i have no doubt 200k is achievable. from there, who knows. i like th 15 to the 17's so i will go with one of those.
Our 2005 camery XLE runs just like new.. We are the third owners it has clocked 325.000 miles. We had a small rust spot repared in january. We bought it at a garage sale. Plan on driving fr a while to and from work.
An old girlfriend of mine had a 2004 Toyota Highlander 4 cyl. Bought it new and put over 400,000 miles on it. Had the rear suspension rebuilt at 300,000. The engine sounded rough at the end but I really think it just needed a timing chain and guides to quiet it down.
07 camry 144k. wow on your highlander. I like the 2008 year but those older ones go forever.
My 2009 hyundai sonata limited has 298,000 miles. Still drives good as the day I bought her in 2011. All I've basically done was change my oil every 3k miles.
Same here mine is a 2011 with 222000 miles
2004 Toyota Camry XLE 366,000 miles. I bought it at 346,000 for $1000.00 August 2020. Replaced rear struts, both drive axles, flex pipe twice ( finicky about quiet) great car. 26.4 average miles city/highway. I plan to go to at least 500,000 miles before I consider passing it on.
Ah yeah the million mile car
V6?
3.0 V6
I have the same car with the 2.4L with 280K on the clock. Other than the common engine oil consumption issue, the car still runs perfect and everything works like it should. I'm retired and mechanically inclined, so if the oil consumption gets out of hand, I'll just drop a new piston and ring kit in it and keep it until someone wrecks it or I die. Best car ever.
07 camry 144k. you have guts to do that. maybe i will move up to a 2015 to 17 with 200k. I like the look.
I own a 2001 Honda Accord V6 in Satin Silver -- I bought it in May 2000/01 (can't remember now) and it has been a reliable vehicle. 370,000KMs and counting. It shut off for some reason last year and I took it to the mechanic -- they fixed the issue and now it runs better than ever. There is a bit of rust on the rear driver rim but other than that it has been a blessing. The interior is still in pristine condition and everything inside (like the radio/CD player/etc) still works. It's winter here and the Honda has taken me through thick and thin. I will continue to drive it until it says, I'm done. I always say that the car owes me nothing!!
I'd love to see a UK version of this given our weather and rust problems. Toyota corrolas used to be more run than body in the 90's.
Toyota Prius definitely should be in the list. I rented a 2012 Toyota Prius V for a couple of months and by the time I returned it, the car had 525000km on the clock. It was very fuel efficient and didn't have any oil leak. And still I see the very same car around my living area as an Uber Taxi.
In Panamá Prius unrelieble lots of issue
My 13 year old Prius has 238K miles on it, and is still running strong. Nine of those years were on icy Minnesota roads. I never expected a hybrid to be so durable.

1995 civic ex 280K miles so far and the engine is fine. OEM suspension and other parts lasted around 20 years before needing to be replaced. Aftermarket lasts as little as 2-3. Civics would have a higher percentage of >200K if they were driven by the people who drive the avalons.

07 camry 144k. wow on your avalon.
I was really not expecting the Avalon at the top of this list lol. Glad to see nissan got some love on the 3.5. Although a different revision of the 3.5L (vq35de) my 04 g35x climbed to 200k rather easily. By that time the power steering was kind of a mess but for relatively low maintenance and me throwing in cheap Walmart oil as it burned it off (common 3.5 issue) throwing on 15k miles of a 50/50 mix of highway/in town per year while I had it was relatively headache free. Going back to the Avalon. I now have a 2016 Avalon hybrid limited, purchased in 2019 with 60k miles and now at 110k miles the thing still feels and drives like how it was when I first got it (which I assume was similar to how it was brand new. Still pounding on the miles on the thing while getting great gas mileage. The only thing that has happened in the past 50k miles was maybe a lower control arm that got messed up or something. To be honest can’t even remember if that was even what it was since it was covered by the Toyota platinum warranty I got so I honestly didn’t pay too much attention. Overall the cost to maintain has been dirt cheap. The 2.5L hybrid system from Toyota although not the subject of this video, imo is the best drivetrain they have. Solid balance between power and efficiency, all while being reliable.

I've had 2 cars that lasted over 200k miles. First was a Lordstown, OH built 2000 Chevy Cavalier, sold it in 2020 with 221k & I'm told it still runs well. The other was a 2012 Mazda3. 207k, it'd lasted longer but was totalled a week ago. I just bought a 2006 Ford Focus with 77k on the odometer (was some old lady's car). Let's see how long it lasts. My friends who've had them have had little issues with Gen 2 Focuses.
Chevy Cavalier! 🤣 Those things never die until they ultimately end up at a demolition derby!
I have a 2008 Hyundai sonata with over 200,000 miles still running very fine, with all the features intact.
It really pays to drive your car conservatively and keep up with the maintenance. There is no reason why a car can't surpass 200K miles these days.
Unless it is: GM, Chrysler, Ford, Kia or Hyundai.

Too much plastic that gets brittle over time.
2007 Kia Spectra and reached 220K last month in August. I'm the only owner this car has known and the only major replacement I've done to it is changed the timing belt at 145K as a preventative maintenence, it had not ripped up on me. Awesome car but it has not been my daily driver in a couple years only because my truck is much better suited for my work.
Kia and Hyundai are trash. I call bullshit on your claim.
Changing a timing belt is not a preventive maintenance. It is mandatory... And you should normally change it at 100 000 kms (60 000 miles). Changing it at 145 000 miles and not blowing the engine up (if it is true) has little to do with the car itself, and everything to do with luck. Because 99 % of OEM timing belts used in any kind of car nowadays are made at the same place in Mexico.
@Ben Gagnon : Correct plus he owns a Kia. 🤣 On a side note, most Japanese vehicles have timing chains that last for life unless you are lazy on oil changes.
Did you still have the original alternator, AC compressor, or starter on your Spectra? I have a 07 Rondo and only have the original starter on it

That is insane!!! You do see a lot of older Hondas (and Toyotas) on the road.
@@notmebutyou8350 But not many of ANYTHING else. Hyundai and Kia have long warranties on them that from what I have heard are never honored if there is an issue. They always find some way to wiggle out of fixing the problem under warranty and blame it on the owner of the vehicle for not doing proper maintenance. Chevy, ford and dodge are all junk and wont go past 150k miles without major issues and repairs, 100% going to have to replace that AC unit before 150k if you live here in Texas and it's going to cost you at least $2k if it's not under warranty. Anything Stellantis makes (Jeep, Chrysler, Dodge, Fiat, Ram) avoid like the plague. And don't buy any Honda/Acura 1.5l turbo engines unless you want headaches down the line due to oil dilution issues, better to buy the 2.0l non turbo NA engine for longevity.

@@michaelbuzzee1964 Because Charger drivers are more likely to drive their "sporty" cars to death, and the Challenger additionally isn't a sedan, but a coupe.
Just make sure you change the oil as scheduled and your repairs will remain minor
I have a 2001 Toyota 4 runner with over 200,000 miles and still going strong I would recommend Toyota vehicles any day they are built to last as long as you keep up the maintenance on it. Thank you for this video was very informative. By the way my vehicle looks GREAT interior and still original paint job , people comment on how great my 4 runner still looks and even had offers to sell it, but I would not she's my baby.
My 2001 Hyundai Accent had 310,000 kilometres on it when I gave it to my best friend to keep driving. It had no mechanical problems and was perfectly free of rust!
From all accounts, that's a rarity. The presenter based his analysis on the percentage of cars sold with high mileage. Hyundai and Kia are notorious for having bad engines, even to the point of having mass recalls of ALL models within specific years.
You should call Hyundai and let them know. Bet they will be surprised. If your information is accurate- you have a RARE example. Hyundais' and Kias go through engines like nobody's business. Glad to hear you got great service from yours- I'll never own either of those again.
I currently have a 2008 Hyundai accent hatchback manual transmission going super strong at 140k miles. I got it as a gift back in 2020. It’s the second most reliable car that I’ve own. I’ve only had to replace a purge valve up to this point with regular oil/filter changes.
i am surprised. i dont hear good things about kia hyundai.
@@markdamstra yea man there’s a reason for why they still use the 1.6L engine in most of their cars up to this point
My 2017 Camry have 328,000 miles brought it brand new but I have the transmission rebuilt at 100,000 miles it was vibrating when shifting. And there are no other issues with this car besides regular maintenance, and this car is still going and going, hopefully this car will hit 500,000miles 😊
I still drive my 2006 Cadillac CTS I bought in 2008. Given the manufacturer defects with the car especially the oil pan issue, she was a pleasure to drive until I had to have the transmission rebuilt in 2018. Was going to do a private sale in 2020 to help a wee bit with the down payment for a newer, used car but of course the panorama hit and I put it off. Fast forward to early 2022 and sticker shock caused me invest in a few preventative maintenance repairs and at 268k miles she’s still tugging along 😊
1998 maxima bought brand new in 1998, it now has 397,000 miles. Doesn’t burn any oil yet. A friend of mine also had a 2010 altima that went 200k miles before he sold it for something else. Great cars.
I believe Nissan was great in the 90s-04ish.
Got a 2016 Toyota Corolla back in 2018...was a Florida rental sold to me by Hertz $2.5k below avg resale. Only spent for new battery, 4 new tires, front rotors/brake pads, front driver's side caliper, & just the oil changes like once a year *light driving*, maintanance mileage interval checks & few rounds of wiper blades & that's it over 4+ yrs now. No check engine lights, sensor replacement or under the hood or exhaust disasters. Can't complain. Worth the same 4 yrs later due to chip/inventory shortages. Got lucky.
my 14 fusion 2.0 vel turbo se. as 170000+ miles on it right now...no oil useage between oil changes..6000.. every 140000 miles i do a transmission sevice.. drain 4 quart out add new 4 quarts of valvoline LV fluid.. runs perfectly having the lux pacage and leather is also very nice... shes quick and get 34/35 on the highway on cruise control... love the car
...mmm Ole Blue my 4 cylinder - 5 speed stick 2001 Honda Accord just rolled 467,000 miles and still runs and shines like new ! I wished I had bought 2 of them just in case mine gets stolen ...
I have Toyota Camry Sportivo 2007, running for 200k, and still smooth like new, no noise from the engine!
My 2018 Camry SE gets 40+ mpg on the highway. My best non hybrid car I've ever had
07 camry 137k didnt want hybrid. afraid of the technology and repairs. but a battery isnt that expensive on camry. tesla - forget about it.
We have a 2006 Chrysler 300 with the 3.5L V6 and 252,000 miles on it. I drove it then passed it to my oldest to drive (and beat it up), then passed to my youngest who drove it (and beat it up less) and it's still running. The car has been very low maintenance and has never let us down. I've preemptively replaced the timing belt and water pump at 110,000 miles and 240,000 miles. I replaced the front struts and sway bar bushings when the from suspension started getting noisy around 200,00 miles and now the car is as quite as when it was new. It's really been a great car and I'm starting to consider getting a newer one for myself (driving a VW Passat currently).
1999 Buick Regal, 213k miles and still running beautifully. Reliable, economical, quiet, comfortable, and great to drive. Good high-speed cruiser. Maintenance by the book is a good part of the reason for the reliability.
People sleep on Buicks! My uncle had an '01 Century that was a beast of a car.
I had a Regal a long time ago and I really liked it. Nice looking car too
Had a 98 Regal, it was a fairly reliable car BUT the best part was it was easy to work on when it needed any repairs. The main issue with it was corrosion (living in the rust belt).
My 2013 regal just blew its engine at 107k miles, wish they still made them good
I have a 2011 lacrosse 3.6 that I'll keep until it's dead. Not a dent or ding on it, still looks about brand new. Has 112k at the moment, and I change my oil every 2k miles, but that's just me.
My 2018 Elantra has 98k. I change the synthetic oil every 4k and keep up on all the maintenance. It's a manual transmission as well. The motor sounds brand new. I plan on keeping this 250k. It'll make it.
All cars can go over 200000 as long as you do basic maintenance it's how often you have to fix major repairs that makes a difference between brands I will stick with Toyota and Hondas.
Not all cars. BMWs and Mercedes Benza have plastic parts surrounding the engine and electric sensors that wear out quickly than Toyotas and Hondas Most Nissan cars with CVT transmissions wear out because of transmission problems Luxury cars like Lamborghini are fashionable cars. They don't have such longetivity
@@edobwoy that why I said major repairs.
My Hyundai Elantra 2011 reached 215k miles this month. Running smoothly!
I have a 2001 Toyota Echo and it is at about 208k miles! That little soda can is a champ! I thought I would have to get a new car before I hit 200k but it's still going strong! I'll be keeping it for as long as possible!
2005 Honda Crv with 210,000 miles still running good with a little mechanical know-how in keeping maintenance. 👍
Recently purchased a 2014 Toyota Avalon with 119,000 miles feels brand new🔥
camry 137k 07. that is a new avalon.
My 2010 Lexus ES 350 has 148K miles and it rides like it’s brand new still. I love it and I wouldn’t expect less since Toyota makes Lexus.🙌🏽❤️💯
2003 Buick LeSabre bulletproof 3800 V6 with 296000 miles original engine transmission still running strong with only minor repair issues.
My 2003 Toyota Avalon is at 225k on it and still going. Had it for almost 7 in a half years already.
2005 Pontiac Vibe ( same as Toyota Matrix) 190,000 miles with scheduled maintenance. Minor repairs. I’ve noticed at 6,000 mile oil changes the oil is never dirty, unlike most other cars I’ve owned.
Toyota Matrix says it all.
keep VIBING
Toyota matrix is the hatchback version of the Corolla
got a 1995 lexus sc400 with 250k miles! still runnning strong!
My Chevy Cruze, 2011 model LT 257,000km in Canada winter roads. I just love it. Still good to go
2009 Toyota Avalon here with 254,500 miles and run excellent.
Wanna trade? Hahaha jk haha 😂
Mine, 2011 with 118K. Runs like it’s new
I have a 2007 bmw 320i and it has done 273000 miles and still on it's original engine had some problems but regular maintenance and some fixes done it works perfectly!
for a bmw? that's incredible.
Some Japanese cars from the 90s seem to be immortals, and it’s normal to see them on Philippine roads daily: 7th Gen Toyota Corollas (91-around 97/98), 4th Gen Mitsubishi Lancers (91-95), 6th Gen Honda Civic (95-2000), and 3rd Gen Nissan Sentra (B13, 90-95). Seeing models a generation before or after of these cars I mentioned isn’t a rare sight as well. I personally own a Nissan 1994 Sentra B13 with 150k+ mi/240k+ kms on the odo and it’s still driving smoothly, still with its stock radiator and compressor that delivers good A/C. So far the only major replacement part it’s had is a new carburetor which made running even better with better fuel mileage.
I stick to Japanese cars over European cars which seem to be money pits.
My ‘08 Scion xD has a corolla engine.mfg Japan
I have a 2000 Avalon with 135,000 miles and a 2007 Infinity M35X with 169,000 miles. Both purchased new and both going strong with relatively few repairs.
2010 Acura TSX (4cyl). 196,000 miles and running strong! Basic maintenance. Only had to replace a seeping front strut, so I replaced both. Besides that, all good!
2009 Acura TL SHAWD with 199,800 miles replace timing belt, water pump and tension pully plugs at 144,000 miles. the only thing that has not been replaced was the starter, I bought the car in April of 2013 and paid it off in 2015. have not had a car payment in over 7 years, can't wait to hit the 200,000 miles sometimes before 2023.
2009 Toyota Camry 2.4 aka oil burner currently @ 216,000 miles, 70 miles a day still runs like a champ. Uses around 4 ounces of oil per 1,000 miles. Have not replaced anything on the drive line or steering system. I did replace the radiator & valve cover gasket @ 191,000 miles and have replaced the headlight assemblies twice due to glazing. Other things have been normal wear items like brakes, batteries, light bulbs, spark plugs, etc. Everything still works like it should. We'll see how long it goes.
If you start adding marvel mystery oil about 6 to 8 oz to an oil change the engine will last longer and it will clean and free sticking rings.. I use it in all my new vehicles which are always Toyota's and Hondas.
@@charlesjackson1700 Yeah I use Marvel as well in the Camry once a month in the gas. I also use it in the gas of my motorcycles, snowblower, generator etc. It helps keep the carbs clean for which I do run non ethanol fuel in. We used to have a chevy equinox with the 2.5 4 cylinder that burned oil way more than the Camry. I ran a full bottle of Marvel in the oil of the equinox and it did decrease the oil consumption drastically but only for a short time. I would imagine if I had done it more it may have prolonged it. We sold the equinox not long ago. As for the Camry, only using around 2/3's of a quart of oil every 5,000 miles is not bad. Plus I am waiting to see if the oil consumption is going to reduce anymore just using Amsoil otherwise I would use Marvel. Also I am gonna start to push the oil drain interval some to see if the oil consumption stays the same, gets better or starts to get worse. I picked this Camry up for cheap so I don't mind seeing how Amsoil is going to do with time. I know people have mixed feelings about using Amsoil which is understandable. For me it has worked out good. It is the most expensive if you buy it by the quart at retail but if you get a preferred account it gets 25% cheaper by the quart and then gets cheaper than that if you buy it in larger quantity. I use the 0w20 in 3 Toyotas currently. The last time I purchased Amsoil 0w20 I bought a drum of it which worked out to be $8.55 a quart. Of course oil has gone up in price since then but being I have a drum of it I will not need to buy oil for a while. Hopefully the price of oil will come down when I need to get more. We'll see.
@@dooflicker1 Glad to see someone that knows that Marvel Mystery is a good product.. Those Camrys from the 2007 through 2009 had those engines that were known for burning oil and many of those were replaced under warranty.. The one you have is still running well.. and not consuming that much oil. The Marvel mystery oil will definitely keep the rings clean and keep them from sludging up and sticking. It would have been good if it could have been used from the start. I know the price of oil has skyrocketed as well along with gas. I know a lot of people swear that by that Amisol oil. It is very expensive. You take care of your vehicles that's for sure.
Does the burning oil you see some on the floor? or it has that oil smell when it gets hot? I have a sienna 2009 225k miles and change oil twice a year before winter and after winter. Probably just 1k to 2k miles driven in a year. Don't really know if it burns oil because by the time it lose oil. New oil level is refilled.
I had a 2008 Camry but I got a notice about burning oil had test done at dealer found it was burning oil so dealer fixed the pistons and I forgot what other things in engine for free plus had dash replace also sticky dash for free as well remember all that oil it burns ends up somewhere (ahem) the cats
My last car was a Nissan Latio 1.6 A. Had it for 13 years and 370,000 KM. My current car is a Honda Accord 2.0 (2015) with a mileage of 83,000 KM. Looks and feels brand new. Looking at keeping it till 500,000 KM.
1. My brother has a 2001 4 cilender honda civic with 365,000 miles the only major things that have been replaced are the clutch at about 350,000 and it had a new head gasket put in as well. 2. My 2004 v6 toyota highlander has 247,000 miles on it the engine blew at about 235,000 but that is the only major thing that went wrong with it. I hope to run it to 500,000.wish me luck!
How can it keep running after the engine blew? Did you rebuild the engine?
@@duonghoangsang1996 I put a new used one in.
that is pretty major. you still got ur money's worth.
"the engine blew but that's the only thing" 😂
I have a 2010 Nissan Maxima with 232K miles I've had for almost 13 years! Still drives good with some repairs and regular maintenance. I love my car!
i have 2009 nissan Maxima with 145,569 miles on it i brought Demo new in late 2009 and great car maintenance is MUST still runs good love my too! will not trade it or sell it.
How often you change cvt transmission oil?
I had 1998 maxima w 230,000 before I wrecked it. had to change the timing belt at 100,000 but nothing else. miss that car. bought a 2011 I have 200,000 on that one, I've had to get ac,starter, alternator this yr but no transmission issues
I have a 1999 Toyota Camry and it has 225,000 miles and it still drives brand new!! Paint is perfect and everything is original and also a v-6 I will never part with it reliable asf!!
I have a 2001 Honda Accord 288k still running strong 💪🏾
My mom has a 2004 Toyota Camry with a V6 engine. It has about 380000 miles. Their biggest repair was something with the catalytic converter and on board computer. Costed them about 700 dollars. The car runs great still. Super reliable. Too bad they purchased a new SUV and now the Camry just sits in the drive way.
Armando, you can keep it as a backup car.
Good afternoon, what would you say about the Lexus IS250 2014 lifetime longevity ?
@@MrLovetlove3 bro like 250k - 300
Tell them sell it to me lmao I have an accord I’ll throw in with it 🤣
I'll buy it of affordable
I currently own the following cars that are over 200k miles that are still running strong. All stock. -1995 Lexus SC300 5speed manual w/ 230k miles. -2000 Toyota Camry LE V6 5speed manual w/ 220k miles. -2005 Toyota Corolla XRS 6speed w/ 270k miles
I have the 1999 Toyota Camry LE V6 5 speed manual w/395K miles on it - runs like new - no major engine issues ever - Can't kill it - LOL
The Camry V6 /5spd us a great car. I had an 1985 SE and it was great.
Maintenance your car, treat her right, and she will not let you down. I drive a 2010 Dodge charger rt with 180000 miles, and all i ever did was get a her a new radiator . Change that oil when it's do, flush brake, and other fluids. Rotate those tires, get that front-end alignment, if you're not tired, wash her or take her through the wash to prevent rust. Dont race or push her hard, and you will be fine. I bought my rt with 50 thousand miles, and she still runs like a champion.
2000 Pontiac Bonneville SLE nearing 240k. Still looks mint for it's age and mileage.
I have a 21 300 Touring L and I'm loving it. The Vehicle is very Refined and that 8 speed Torque Flight Transmission has it feeling Quick and Sporty. Also the car is crazy nimbel for its size with incredible Throttle Response. And as far as reliability goes with that Powertrain it's definitely Underated. The Pentastar had some early issues, but is now on it's 3rd Generation and is holding up overtime. And the people that are maintaining them are saying that even with High Mileage the power isn't diminishing. And the ZF 8 Speed is one of, if not the best Trans in the world right now. For about 8 years Chrysler/ Dodge was the only Domestic Auto maker to use it. But the likes of Bentley, RR,Ashton Martin and Mercedes to name a few, have been using that exact Transmission for over a decade in a lot of their Vehicles.
I own a 2016 300S that gets the shit beaten out of it, WOTing everywhere. 72K miles and it’s been the best vehicle i have ever owned. The only thing it has literally ever needed is brakes.

@@TheSavage3.6 Gonna be a nice car until the transmission gets destroyed like every other stellantis product
My wife just bought a used Jeep Wrangler with the Pentastar V6 and 6 speed manual. Pentastar is supposed to be a great and reliable motor. 6 speed manual is a good solid trans. Having owned Dodges in the past, I'm a bit apprehensive about buying any Chrysler product nowadays. They have made some solid motors in the recent past, but their automatic trans are a bit scary, however the ZF is very good. I have a 2003 neon SRT-4 still with original motor and turbo (2.4L 4 Cylinder), 5 speed manual, and over 220k miles, still runs good. Motor and trans are nearly bulletproof. The problem with Chrysler is they cheap out on the smaller stuff and use cheap parts and they start to nickel and dime you to death. Plus they are notorious for water leaks, especially if you have a sunroof. My neon SRT has a bad case of clearcoat fail and has rust spots in both rear fenders. And of course, some of their automatic transmissions the past 30 years have been complete garbage.
2011 Buick Regal 147,000 STILL looks like new both interior and exterior only major repairs is the AC condenser and compressor girls tell me they like my car all the time 🙂 I recently took 3 roads trips all at least 13 hour drives and not only comfortable but reliable.
I have a 2008 Honda. Element SC model, it has 208,455 miles on it, still runs great. Transmission runs great, shifts perfectly, constantly change transmission fluid and oil changes, comes out nice and clean, no metal fragments in it, I have changed a lot of parts on it, but no major parts, plan to take it up to 300,000 miles.
The Kentuckian in me is so proud for the shoutout to Georgetown. So many of us in central Kentucky work there, it’s easily the second largest employer outside of UK. I just bought my first Toyota and it’s a Corolla. Not made in KY, but close enough
My 2011 hyundai sonata nf is 265k miles and engine sound still really smooth.
I bought my 2011 Sonata new. Doesn’t even have 60K miles on it yet. Lol. I still love it! Probably gonna last me a long time.
Chrysler 300? Chevrolet Impala? Yeah, top lists of reliable vehicles are not your thing.
And not a single lexus atleast is250 2.5 v6
i burst out laughing when i saw the chrysler 300😂😂😂
Prayed over Acura rl. 235,000 it's still going strong! My 13 accord sport is healthy and on way to 200k!
We have a 2004 Oldsmobile Alero (the last year they made them) It now as over 320k on it, engine still runs smooths, does not burn any oil at all!
It’s also how you drive and where you drive will have a huge influence on how long something lasts.
That wasn't true when I owned domestic brands and they were new however since I switched to Honda and Toyota I never have any issues at all.. I always take care of my cars better than most and they are garaged.
