Does a Toyota Last Longer Than a Honda?

It's Toyota vs Honda reliability! Both of these car brands have a great record when it comes to vehicle reliability, but from my perspective both companies have taken a bit of a step back when we talk about:
- Car ownership costs
- Maintenance requirements
- Car reliability
Plus you'll get a cold start on a few cars from Honda and Toyota.

Fact check: back in days, owned 1990 Honda Civic Hatchback, bought already w/ 200K miles on ODO, drove another 250K miles, meanwhile replaced twice timing belt and water pump, along with basic tune up, sold w 450K miles on ODO, I'm sure it's still not in junk yard yet and the new owner still enjoying it... Drive safe ✌️🙂

[@Shadobanned4life]

Good for you! Honda builds some great small engines.

[@otarsulava]

@@Shadobanned4life @Chad O'Ban Forgot to mention, my Civic didn't have power steering, no ABS, no fuel injector - it was w/ carburetor, front rotors and rear was on drums, I sure did replaced parts here and there within my ownership as it wares out, just short list: valve gasket, rotor and pads, radiator hoses, but this car never broke down on me, I never had to take it to mechanic for something that needed to be fixed, always had best brand oils in it, both engine and in manual transmission. Like Japanese cars - Toyota Corolla Hatchback, Mazda 3 hatch, Subaru Impreza but when I will have a chance to buy an actual brand new car, I sure go for Honda, it's my own personal preference as my very first beloved car was - the Civic... 🙂✌️

[@jessewynne8193]

I had a 1985 accord 5 speed cable clutch bought with 350k miles for $400 in 2013 Cars body was flawless I drove it 240k miles more Til the timing belt snapped on me. And it was going to cost crazy $ to fix. Cuz it also needed a catalytic converter. I had 600 k miles on the ODO During the time of ownership while I replaced the brakes, the exhaust and one Cadillac converter tires and oil change, regular maintenance stuff. The only downside which really isn’t a downside, but it was that about every two years I would have to have the exhaust patched or replaced..

This is an opinion not factual**. Both last long enough. Hondas and Toyotas reputation for longevity *(statistically)* is nearly identical. He seems to identify which one is mechanically simple but negates statistics. Ownership also effects how long a Japanese car lasts. Watch Scotty Kilmers video on this topic. Even though he also sounds like a broken record he gives factual data

[@amuthanshan]

Mark is not disagreeing with you. He is still saying the cars are very reliable compared to most cars, but compared to *older* Toyotas and Hondas, the newer Toyota and Honda engines are slightly less reliable because they are more complicated and use more plastic components. No doubt this is largely because governments are forcing manufacturers to be more efficient and green every year. Toyota and Honda are no angels either, they have joined up with the big western car companies, spending millions fighting against "right to repair" laws which would stop manufacturers having a monopoly on repairs and open up the repair industry to third parties more, which would reduce repair costs.

[@levimagnusson5880]

My point is, Toyota generally is very reliable brand and they stay behind their products.

Why do manufacturers have to go with smaller displacement engine with turbo? EPA and politics? You tell me :-)

I've owned both. In my experience Toyota has some weak links in some engines (they ONLY get 200k before they start burning oil) whereas their v-engines are amazingly reliable. Toyota's real strength is in their transmissions. I've seen Toyota master service technicians who said, in 20 years, they've only changed oil on transmission and have never seen one in the shop for mechanical failure. The way Toyota planned their lineup explains a lot: they added a ton of hybrids so they could meet their fuel standards, and then just put v-6's and v-8's that aren't great on gas mileage, but excel at reliability, in their best-selling SUV's and trucks. Ford and GM are trying to hit their fuel standards by more and more hi-tech engines that are more and more complex, that tend to be less reliable.

@@huyvo1586 definitely not! I work in service at a Honda dealer, we DO NOT have problems with the CVTs. Nissan has the trash cvts you probably hear a lot about. We actually have more problems out of the automatic transmissions in Pilots. Civics are essentially bulletproof, they will need AC work at some point yes but other than that extremely mechanically solid. We do not have issues out of new civics, even the turbos on the 1.5t hatchbacks don’t seem to go out; Can’t say the same for the accords unfortunately :( You’ve got yourself a great car, just take care of it and it’ll go 300k miles. Be prepared for ac repairs though at some point and if you take any slightly major frontal impacts make sure to get your cooling fans + radiator checked as the condenser will be pushed and rub against the radiator. That’s the only other downside to the modern Civic I can think of besides ac is that they don’t handle frontal impacts very well.

I once owned a used 1999 Saturn SL1 for nearly 10 years, only issues were a valve gasket early in ownership and then a radiotor near end of ownership. Solid in between those issues. After that I bought a used 2006 Kia Spectra that right after purchase it ended up melting part of an electrical harnest. I only owned the Kia for a few months and ended up spending $1800 to fix, but was solid for 5 years after that. Next in 2019, I bought a used 2010 Scion Xb. I had alignment issues at the get-go that took a little $ to sort out, but I attribute that to the previous owner having oversized wheels/tires (that I replaced with an OEM set up) and their lack of maintenance to fix it. Since then I had an emissions code that a new gas cap fixed and most recently an alternator go out. Granted all my cars have been used but every car is going to have faults. I just try to buy simple vehicles with as few electical do-dads and complex whachyamacallits that I can.

2018-2020 Accords are definitely a problematic generation of the accord unfortunately. Specifically fuel injectors. Honda in general has issues with fuel injectors in recent years but we cover replacement of those under a warranty extension once you get the code for it on the Pilots and Ridgelines thankfully but not the accords, so once you get that dreaded catalyst + misfire code and you don’t have extended warranty you will be paying $1200-1400 out of pocket for fuel injector job. Also turbos go out on accords of those years if not very carefully taken care of usually between 100-150k miles

[@norwegianblue2017]

For the past twenty years I have owned two Acuras. The first one needed an oxygen sensor once. The second has never had anything fail after 12 years and 100k miles.

Jump started it and it ran like a dream. Eventually she got rid as it was expensive to run, but was unreal how it ran after sitting there unused for so long

[@AudiophileTubes]

The most reliable car i've had is my current 2003 GTI VR6, with the 2.8L naturally aspirated 24v 2nd gen VR6 (not the 12v). I've had this car as my daily driver for 20... yes you read that correctly... TWENTY years now (purchased it new in October 2002)! It has a 6-speed manual. The car still has the original chains on it as well! No transmission problems whatsoever, and only a failed cooling fan, valve cover gasket, and some MAF sensors. Other than yearly synthetic oil changes (and filter), it's cost me next to nothing to maintain! It doesn't even burn oil between yearly changes... the oil level stays the same.... amazing! Total mechanical issues over the 2 decades probably cost me about $1700 to fix! It only takes Premium Unleaded though, and I think the Shell Premium I use has helped keep the engine and valves in great shape. Without a doubt, the 2.8L, 24v VR6 is VW's most reliable engine ever built! Frankly, i'm pleasantly surprised!

I bought an 03 Corolla new. After 20 years and over 250K miles it's still amazing. I just rebooted the axles and replaced the struts/shocks within the last 25K. I've had to replace 3 of 4 wheel bearings and I rebuilt the starter. None of these repairs were particularly expensive using OEM parts. Ok, replacing the front wheel bearing was a bit more difficult than it should've been but whatever, I have a friend with a press. My 16 Camry V6 has been a pain in the ass by comparison. After Toyota replaced both muffler heat shields for wallowing out and falling off I fabricated a new set out of .90" aluminum since it's out of warranty. If I could buy another 03 Corolla with a 5 speed like mine brand new today I'd do it.

I work for a 100 car fleet taxi company, 16 years ago the fleet was dominated by domestic cars (Malibus, Impalas, Taurus, Caravans, etc), but it was quickly changing to Toyota and Honda. These days, they are using a lot of Kias and Hyundais , which aren't great but still much better than any of the domestic vehicles. Maintenance costs are 50% lower across the board on imports vs. domestics. The domestic cars (especially Malibu), are notoriously unreliable and horrifically uncomfortable. One thing we are noticing is the difference between 9th and 10th gen Civics, the 10th gen transmissions really can't hold up in the taxi business. The Toyotas are certainly the most reliable.

[@Seer645]

We have owned many Toyotas and they have always proven to be reliable with very few issues. We owned a V6 Honda Accord that had about 60,000 miles on it when one cylinder started to misfire. Said to pull over immediately and we did; had it towed to a dealer who charged $200 to diagnose and replace ONE spark plug which is identical to what happened to a friend of ours in another state. The Accord transmission was also not something to jump up and down about so No More Hondas.
