I have a 1993 Toyota Previa LE with 295K miles. Still runs well with no loss in MPG, and oil consumption. It is naturally aspirated, uses regular fuel, with a 4 speed transmission. It is simple, basic, with less electronics. It is so reliable and with regular maintenance, like oil changes every 5K intervals, it looks like it will go on forever.

In the past 40+ years I’ve only owned 4 Toyota’s and I just bought my 4th one. I drove my 78 Corolla for 19 years, (it was 5 years old when I bought it in 83, with 70K miles). It died in 02 with 488K miles. I promptly replaced it with a new Camry and drove it until my needs changed in 11 and that’s when I bought a new Rav 4WD Limited with the 3.5L V6. I drove it until I bought my “leftover” 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab, 6’ bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs. I plan on driving my 23 TRD until I die.

Stick to non-turbo, non-hybrid, naturally aspirated engine, and a real transmission (non-CVT) and skip all the additional unnecessary bells and whistles.

[@codincoman9019]

A good advice. Still, a self-charging hybrid is very different from a PHEV or a BEV clunker, being very reliable (the most reliable segment, according to Consumer Reports - and their ECVT - not a CVT! - is extremely dependable) and with a low TCO (Total Cost of Ownership), already proven.

[@dragonalfaata]

If live in Europe and want to take everything you said into consideration you've got... Not a lot to choose from. Maybe really small cars that still have stuff like 1.0 mpi engine. Most cars sold in europe have turbo or are hybrid. You still have mazda and the non hybrid toyotas. But honestly if you go for toyota, how can you not buy a hybrid?

[@Tony770jr]

One of the major problems with reliability are the parts from the OEMs. These companies make most all the safety and infotainment components. You'd think with more safety features the cost of insurance would go down. The short answer is no because the cost to repair is much higher. As far as emissions and mileage, most auto makers have gone to hybrid. This also increase the cost of the vehicle. So at the end of the day we pay higher for the vehicle and higher for insurance. Not to mention high repair costs once the warranty expires.

I remember when the Japanese cars were taking off and the domestic manufactures were screaming for government restrictions and subsidies. While huge buckets of money were given to those companies it forced them to improve their quality or die; remember AMC. You can thank, Toyota, Honda, Nissan and others for forcing Ford, GMC, Chrysler by example. When the Japanese luxury brands came out, it did kill off some European brands and forced others to amalgamate. 30 years have passed, and the best manufactures are still the Japanese, they do sometimes have some problems there are not perfect. My brother went from a diehard Jeep driver to a Toyota driver and his sons also.

Currently the Ranger pickup is more reliable than the redesigned Tacoma with its 2.4L Turbo. Toyota should offer the 2.5L 4cyl Naturally Aspirated engine from the Camry and RAV in the Hybrid version. Yes the Tacoma would be slower but much more Reliable. I’m just glad that I bought a 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab, 6’ bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs.

Whether you like the video or not, the message is straight and true. Our family had the first car sales and petrol stations in London UK. Before that horse and cart, so our family have watched it all and been a part of it all since day one. Whilst 'the idiot' is running our governments, you do need to choose wisely these days, added to which, this issue is raising the cost of secondhand vehicles, both motorcycles and cars, which were clearly more reliable and stronger to drive up to about 2019/2020. My take is this - for what's available in Brasil 🇧🇷 at least; I would look at Lexus NX, RX, BMW X1 and X3 B48 and B58 drive chains and if you can get them, low mileage CRV 2.4 or RAV4 2.5 or V6 - if you just use a car to get from A to B. I've owned stacks of vehicles, the most reliable of which was a 2001 Mercedes CLK430. Blew one light bulb and one fuse over 20 odd years which were replaced for free at Mercedes. That was it. The rest were just usual service items, brake pads, rotors and change oil and transmission fluid (much as they didn't want me to change it)!! But those days have gone. Hybrids and EVs? Sure, for people who like frugal perhaps, but for people who like driving we are back to BMW and the occasional Honda 2.0 turbo. BMW were making reliable turbos back in the 70's, so they have a little history there at least. The rest, is pretty much a gamble, although I would consider Mazda if we could get them over here. The CVT or a decent manual/zf transmission is really a question of whether you actually like driving or not. Shout out to the old VAG EA888 2.0 litre, teamed up with a DQ-500 transmission; think some Golf GTI or Audi 2.0 Quattro 2016-2018 era - easy to flash the chip in the Audi, change the air filter and see 0-100 in 5 seconds at 280HP if handling and a little adrenaline float your boat! This is the same drive chain you get in a Porsche Macan - another decent vehicle. Otherwise, realize us people on large motorcycles prefer 0-100 in 2.5 seconds with excellent Japanese reliability and don't really want to pay the high prices of a secondhand Golf or Audi to get there!

You don´t have to make the video you babled about. We all know what you are going to say. If you really want a reliable car, by an EV from either Tesla, VW/Audi/Skoda or Porsche. BMW and MB are newcommers to the EV universe, and still have to prove them selves, but I guess they are very good as well. Stay away from Japanese EV´s, they have very poor powerconversion circuits resulting in slow charging except for Nissan. On top they all tend to rust with Mazda as the worst.
