I drive a 2020 CRV right now but I wish I had never sold my 2004 Element, I really miss it. I must say, however, that the most reliable car I ever owned (not an SUV) was a 1968 BMW1600. I drove that car for 12 years until the body rusted out in the boxy wheel wells. A race car driver bought the engine and raced it for another 5 years. BMW was the “ultimate driving machine” in those days and had not lowered its mission to wooing the luxury market as it began to do soon after.

My 2007 Toyota Highlander has held up amazingly well. I’m at about 210,000 miles and since I live on a mountain these are not the same as freeway miles. I would buy it again in a heartbeat.

[@springertube]

I second your last sentence, and would encourage Toyota to copy the dimensions and basic goodness for the next gen RAV4, which is now only a few inches away but light years in the "wa" department. My 2006, second to last year in that generation, was stellar and I regret selling / trading at 130,000 MI. After 13 years of mostly trouble-free ownership, a couple potentially expensive items kept me from going forward. Although it had generally been very reliable, I had been told by more than one independent inspector that some major front bushing and control arm replacement was needed, some work requiring dropping the front subframe = $ I didn't feel I could recoup, along with some niggling interior bits that were getting hard to find for replacement. In hindsight I bolted too soon and should have just sucked it all up as modest (in hindsight) cost of doing business, especially compared to buying new. I have a low mileage 3rd Gen Highlander bought new, bigger, more "refined" and more bells and whistles that's a great vehicle as well -- other than powertrain almost a completely different vehicle, but so far so good. But I would still put that first gen on the list or at least an honorable mention second list, as I would the first gen Toyota Solara, essentially a Camry coupe underneath but with bespoke styling inside out with Lexus like trim and appointments, Great car we took to 150,000 MI, no issues, just normal maintenance. Replaced only needing different vehicle type.

[@wanderinggeri8477]

Third that…2010 with 189k. Strong and luxurious.

[@springertube]

@@wanderinggeri8477 I have always thought that your 2nd gen was the perfect vehicle for most needs, just the right size - the Goldilocks vehicle, not too big, not too small. Although I had seen and admired the 2nd gen on the road many times, I thought mine was that until I checked out a friend's 2012. Just enough usefully bigger, without getting crazy. To me, the next gen... my current, started getting a little bit too big, harder to park etcetera.... after 13 years in my first gen, It's a Wonderful vehicle, "better" (spacious, luxurious etc) than the previous gens in many ways but I'm still getting used to after 4 years! And then the next one bigger yet... and to many that's too small, and so now the Grand Highlander!

I drove two different Astro vans over 250,000 as company vehicles and was broken hearted when they were no longer manufactured and the company ended up buying me an “okay ” Chevy Uplander. I retired before wearing it out. 😉. I drove both Astro vans on two different road trips to Canada and oh the comfort! At first I didn’t think it was going to be a comfortable ride but I could drive for 15 hours and not be tired. Amazing. The only thing that surpassed it in my experience was a brand new 2016 Ford Expedition that I rented for a 6,000 mile road trip beginning and ending in Seattle. It was absolutely divine and what a smooth ride. The Astro van was more like a stagecoach! Alas my budget and seriously being practical, the Expedition wasn’t in my budget. I’m on my third Ford Escape now after trading in a 2016 CRV because it was so uncomfortable. Loved my first two Escapes but the newest one, maybe six months old is a slight disappointment. I bought it hoping for it to be a long term vehicle but I don’t think it was cut out for that. Your video here has me thinking used may be the way to go. As a senior female and a single mode of transportation, I need a reliable vehicle that will easily transport my bike and or kayak. Thanks for the info!

Great info and pretty accurate as well. And as always, not a POS German brand in sight. Now, in my opinion, I would have put the 4Runner before the Pilot all day. Pilots have transmission issues that have plagued them since day one. Same engine/transmission combo as odyssey. I owned a second gen Odyssey and sold it before transmission started giving me problems at 120k. I currently own the following cars: 02 Sequoia RWD with 270k and counting. Basic maintenance is all I have done besides timing belt/water pump. 06 Lexus GS300 with 202k, very neglected vehicle I may say but still going. I bought it cheap so no point of spending money in it. 11 Civic with 190k still going. Basic maintenance, some leaks but it goes. 08 Scion XB with 160k 5 spd, basic maintenance and I daily it about 100 miles a day. 01 Lexus IS300 with 145k salvage title, has leaks but that thing refuses to die. It’s my beater/project that I will hope to one day restore back to its glory. As you can see, I can attest to Toyota and Honda. If you want to buy a boring but reliable car that you can keep for 15-20+ yrs, even when neglected, buy one of these brands. If you are one who likes looks and don’t mind money pits buy German or American cars. You will look cool in them when they’re not in the dealer getting fix.

I wouldn't buy a CR-V after 2015, because thats when Honda started going to direct injection and also went to the CVT transmission which i personally don't like driving and also probably won't last as long as the 5 speed Automatic it replaced. Fast forward a couple of years to the fifth generation (2017-2022) when they started using the oil diluted 1.5 turbocharged engine which I for sure wouldn't buy. For the new generation the 1.5 carries over along with the 2.0 Hybrid, which would definitely be my first choice over the 1.5. Still nothing compares to the 2.4!
