[@stevenglansberg8561]

@@jaydee11.11 In eleven years besides changing the oil the only thing I replaced on my Camry was the radiator and the starter. I traded it in with 207,000 some odd miles. My 4RUNNER has over 170,000 miles and runs like a champ. From what I understand Toyota makes their own parts and makes them in small batches which results in better quality control. Their fit and finish is world class among other things. Maybe whoever told you to sell a vehicle after five years due to maintenance cost increase never owned a Toyota?

[@christianc8453]

2000 Toyota Camry here. 200k miles. The thing has overheated once with a blown hose on the interstate and it still rocks solid after a hose replacement. I love the old Camrys. Super reliable. Great on gas. Comfortable and easy to drive.

[@jessem8690]

I daily drive my 99 Pathfinder with 280k miles. I wish Nissan (and Honda, Mitsubishi and even Toyota) still built vehicles like they did in the 90s.

[@TurboLoveTrain]

That era is when they were mostly made in japan then shipped and assembled in the US. Now everything is assembled in Mexico and the quality never ever recovered. There isn't a car made in the last 15 years that is going to outlast those old Hondas and Toyotas. Every product that has moved manufacturing to Mexico has gone to garbage and never recovered and the auto industry is no exception. Car people are gullible dupes that buy status symbols and don't care about pesky details like reliability, fuel efficiency and cost of maintenance.

[@jessecooper9795]

Pathfinders back then didn't have the cvt transmission in it either. They were damn near bulletproof

[@CJinSD1]

If you buy an XTerra or Pathfinder of this generation, install a stand-alone transmission cooler in place of the one integrated in the radiator. The radiators fail all of the time, and they mix the coolant and transmission fluid when they do. The result is a destroyed transmission. When you go to buy a remanufactured automatic transmission for your Nissan SUV, the reman transmissions usually come with new radiators, because that's what causes them to fail. The other problem with these is A/C door actuators. They're pretty expensive to replace and make an incredibly irritating clicking and grinding noise when they fail.

This German panzer tank of a car has been my daily driver all these years, and i'm shocked at it's reliability! Still has the original timing chains too, and the engine purrs! The 2.8L naturally aspirated 24v VR6 has to be VW's best engine ever made, when it comes to reliability!

It is a real truck pannelled as an SUV tall wagon. Most SUVs are cars mocked up with panels. If it is FWD it is likely a car that cosmetically looks like a truck: Maverick, HHR, CRV.... Not that there's anything wrong with that, but truck mechanicals last far longer than mist car guts.

I had a 2004 4 Runner. I was on my way to the east coast when the rear stabilizer rusted off the frame. The frame was rusted through. It did run well, I liked the car, but beware of certain years where Toyota used sub standard steel for their frames.

My brother still uses a 90's Tacoma work truck to this day. It's even seen the Blood and Crip war.

My 2012 nissan armada is a huge gas hog but dang its indestructible. Works great i would definitely recommend it.

Had a 1994 Camry LE with 304,000. Best car I have ever owned. LOTS of room, big trunk. Leather upholstery. Took care of it. Rear-ended & totalled two years ago. Still miss it. Unable to replace it because of high asking prices, or cars with problems. People don't sell these things. Thanks a lot, Scotty.

NZ is considered a hardcore country for vehicles, mainly because it can be summer and snow. And all the other options. So if you want better made cars, try make the climate like NZ.

[@robertdornan8611]

That generation of Camry (1992-1996) was the best ever built.

[@nikolahenr]

Gotta love the Camry 😎

[@DONAVIN-0]

These Camry's are the best, almost put 300k on ours

[@davidb9605]

07 4Runner has 279k miles on it. Still running with no issues.

I am so glad you said something good about Nissan. I have a Nissan Pathfinder that I have had since 2008 and now I have 374000 miles and I put them all on it except for 20000

My V6 Nissan 2010 runs smooth and strong. Well made cars back then.

11:05 exhaust is metal, it does not "absorb" water. If it were to absorb water, it would corrode and be done with in less than a year. You are referring to condensation.

The kind of people that drive the same car for 40 years and take care of said car are my favorite kind of people and who I aspire to be. 24 more years to go! Unfortunately my first car exploded because when I had the oil changed they didn't put the oil plug back on correctly... I'm polite to big new truck drivers in public but they just are too boring and uninteresting to want to spend time around...cars get you to the important things they aren't the important things.

[@teriislander]

Just bought a very clean ‘97 Camry LE w/ 165K. Looking forward to driving til it drops

Scotty. Honda CR-V Vs. Toyota RAV4 which one is better ? Both are better when they are Hybrid ?

[@jessecooper9795]

Rav4. Honda has probs with oil leaks and injectors in a few models

[@husseinabd6937]

@@jessecooper9795 So RAV4 is better than Honda ? What about Hybrid vs Gas? and what years are good?

[@jessecooper9795]

@husseinabd6937 most definitely. Hybrids in both are more expensive to work on. The gas is more reliable. Pretty much any year in the Rav 4 is gonna be good. They're great vehicles
