Their resale value is based on past reputation. A used 3-5 year old Toyota or Honda, based on its past history, is not even broken in and has much life left past the warranty. While with other brands, good luck past the warranty period. A used 2012 Civic or Corolla is older but a great first car. I would never trust any other brands to reliably transport for example, your children off to college, in anything else. This might change though because it seems imo that the American divisions of each brand is trying to take more control in the wrong way. Influencing design based on US laws and US customs. The engineering is still top notch but it is heavily falling apart in the manufacturing process by trying to cut costs and moving stuff to other areas for cheaper labor. Toyota USA is responsible for the new Tacoma and Tundra design. Low emission cars is from American influence because in other countries they still sell proven powertrains. They are also taking advantage of their rep by pricing these new trucks and SUVs, past inflation costs. All their newer Trucks and SUVs are at least 10% more expensive than they should be. A top Trim Tacoma is almost 70k. TRD pro Tacoma really should not be more than 59k-60k. And Honda making small displacement turbo engines for emissions has given trouble that is why the 1.5t L15 is already being discontinued and Honda is trying to pretend the engine has no problems. And partnering with GM for their first EV was a huge mistake. These issues could harm their reputation and resale value in the future.

[@danielzhang1916]

I still drive my 2007 Toyota Yaris, which I bought brand new. It is end of 2024 and it still has just under 200k kilometers on it...Never broke down once. The only that I had to replace was one shock absober and a clutch kit...Somebody slipped me a note that said, I'll make you an offer for your car and I said, nope! 😀🇿🇦

The best car I ever owned was a 2011 Yaris. That thing was bulletproof! Super reliable.

Just bought a 2019 Toyota Camry Hybrid. Man this thing not boring at all. Doing over 900km for 50l. Trying to beat 1000km. So comfortable and quiet. Looks so good. One of the best purchases I’ve ever made.

I have spent a lot of times to answer this question. This show got most of it right, except forgot to mention the ease of simple maintenance of a Toyota. Open up under a hood of a Toyota, it is just so easy to do so many things, which means many small issues get attended to. For example, the PCV valve on old Toyota corolla takes under a minute to replace, while other brands could take several hours.

Im the original owner of a 2002 Toyota Highlander, garage kept, with 113,000 miles. I was considering at one time, trading for something new with all the newest technology, but decided to hang onto this baby, plus I can still do all the maintenance on this one myself. It may not be brand new with all the latest and greatest features, but that also means less to go wrong.

[@righteousone1]

New ones are very good but way overpriced.

[@anotheran]

Kaizen means relentless improvement. Doesn’t mean never introduce new things. But once they do, they may screw up big time but over time, perhaps like 5 years, like most of their previous engines, it’ll become reliable.

[@Argedis]

@@anotheran Rather than improving their 2.7L 4 Cyl by adding Direct Injection or making it an Aluminum Block they changed to a turbo engine. Same with the V8 in the Tundra they could have just added Direct Injection and now they messed up with the TT V6

[@Centurion305]

Bought both my BMW and Toyota Camry in 2012 within the same year for my family. Both cars are well above 300k miles and both cars are running strong with cost of maintenance about the same between the two over the years. BMW costs more to fix at times but needs a fix way less frequently than the Camry. I strongly advise both cars. Extremely reliable and I've been offered many times by mechanics to buy both of my cars

[@andikappradana]

I have 26 years old Isuzu with 400k KM and it's still going strong. The engine part is all original, never change anything, never had any problem, just regular maintenance the whole time. Generally, all Japanese brands are QDR

my 1997 Toyota Camry 200K miles still run like a champ. Anything I throw at it is just perform. Only had to replace the water pump. It need some new struts but yeah still run, still work and still so cheap to maintain

[@Ojas20p]

My uncle was working in the US for a few years. He bought a Toyota Camry 1997 model for daily driving. When I visited US and saw the car it was just awesome no issues, no rattling noices, nothing. I travelled half of the US in that car, amazing ride and comfort too. When my Uncle was coming back to India, he sold the car 4th hand and still got handsome amount of money in return. Even in India Toyota's most popular car Toyota Innova has the same story. Fleet drivers drive the car more than 500000 kms on average. You can see old Innovas in cities, mountains everyhwere.

[@misterfunnybones]

I think we reached peak ICE auto in the late 90's, early 2000s. Not too many electronics, sensors, not totally dependent on service computers. Just fluids, mufflers, & brakes. New cars are just riddled with sensors & screens. You're not buying a car, your ensuring a well-funded service department.

Im driving a used 1998 Honda CR-V for about 2 years now (I'm a third owner). Only major repair i have done is a major replacements on the aiconditioning system (replaced compressor, condenser) Aside from the parts being extra durable, the parts you need from maintenance and repair are still very easy to find. This serviceability and availability of parts after 26 years makes the resale value of honda still high

My first nightmare of a car was a Dodge and never again, nothing but problems from day one, got a Toyota truck 28 years ago and still have it today, I will never consider any other brand.

[@DavidSkerritt]

2004 Toyota Solara owner here. I purchased it 2 years old. Its got a cracked windshield and the dash is all cracked from sun damage but it runs fine. I keep saying year after year when something major breaks like the transmission or AC, then I'll get something newer. Been saying that for 5 years now. I actually hate car shopping and all the sales games associated with it so I'll just keep this car until something major breaks.

I used to have a 2015 Nissan Altima with 72,000 miles. I knew that after 75,000 miles, the transmission will have problems. So during the pandemic when there were no used cars and they offered more for it, went to Toyota and got a 2022 Corolla and got a very good offer for the Altima. I’m forever a Toyota customer!

[@spicytuna62]

Yeah pandemic when car values went crazy. Five years old and returned all my purchase price. Now its not a Honda on the lot i buy. My Son had 2016 pilot, blew transmission at 58k. Still bought a new 24 model and is hoping its not junk. Honda pilot didn't really have any brand fans in the family garage. Same crappy vehicle as mini Van . Outback is doing well and all wheel drive is 👍

Honda is good until the 1.5 turbos came out. Those engines have issues do not buy. In general if you value go for the simplest setup you can find - no turbo no CVT transmission.

[@Alumnikiid]

As a Honda fan only one I would get is the N/A 2.0 or 2.0t. Even the Hybrids are having fuel pump issues. Think I might switch to Toyota or Mazda

[@hukmai]

If I were to get a honda ( as a current honda owner ) any small NA vehicle even the CVT's are decent. The large vehicles are nice ( I own 2017 Ridgeline 199kmile) but the reliable isn't the same as a toyota SUV. Something changed in manufacturing for newer Honda SUVs, im guessing stricter emissions requirements, when toyota has so many credit from hybrids honda has to get creative with small engines and turbos or cylinder deactivation on the V6 plus some of these designs choices aren't standard. Such as buying parts for my Ridgeline OEM is best but often back ordered ( took me 1.5 years to get CV axles and lower control arms) and aftermarket isnt as robust as toyota's if it ain't broke dont fix it manufacturing philosophy. I love honda, so sad to see them getting slammed with policy

[@AustinsCoins]

They fixed the issues with the 1.5, but I would still prefer the bigger engine.

I sell cars. When I sell a Honda or Toyota my clients never have any issues and are happy as can be. The times I sell anything else (GM, Hyundai, Kia…) I’ve had clients complaining to me they’re having to dump money into them along with their car payment (which is something I warned them about during their purchase). People chase a low fat price and payment not realizing your maintenance and repairs are ALSO part of your monthly payment

[@rafaeldeleon3386]

I own a Prius V when it first came out. I still have the original brakes and do the typical maintenances (oil filter, tire rotation) and maybe a mileage service if I feel like it. Every single time I do the mileage service, the mechanic tells me the engine is pretty clean. I'll probably keep the car till I run it to the ground, but it's more likely to outlast me.
