Most reliable car you've had??

[Instance]

I have a 2000 civic ex with 145,000 miles that has had ZERO problems. I change the oil once every 15 to 20K miles :teeth and it hasnt seen the mechanic once for any problems, just a timing belt replacement. Its getting up in mileage so I'm expecting it to take a crap here soon.

Looking for viable options here....dont want to go honda again.

1985 honda accord EX. 323,000 miles. Motor and tranny were SOLID, the car was donated because the rear wheels were rusted stuck, which meant I could not replace the master cylinders which were shot.

I then owned another 1985 accord and it was just as awesome.

These were the last models made in Japan I believe, which I think made them better built.

81 Honda Prelude, my first car. Over 100,000 miles. I think between 1986 and 1990 I changed the oil three times. I sold the car in 1990. I miss it...

any honda

 

[mrtnz]

1992 Toyota Paseo. I am still using it. :teeth It currently has more than 145,000 mile on it. Other than maintenance stuff, it does not give me any problems. I will most probably drive it until it dies on me.

How about a Toyota truck? or an Acura NSX.

I recommend you stay away from M3 - i sold mine because it cost me 700 dollars to change a freaking oxygen sensor.

Sounds like Honda is the way yo go.

Although I have thought about toyota trucks. The acura nsx......I'll pass.

I will have the M3 one day, oh yes, I will.

i hate to say this, but it was a 1980 Ford Courier.
dad bought it when I was 6 months old, had my name on the plates.

i jsut sold it in May. She had only 56K miles on her. that truck never broke down, not once. Only thing I replaced on it was the exhaust and the master cyclinder.

 

[hondagrl]

I have a pontiac vibe which has been great and it has a toyota corolla motor in it. I havent heard of the corollas having any problems

Most reliable- Peugeot 406. Not available in the USA, unfortunately.

Current car, '82 Toyota Camry with 140k. Runs just fine, shakes a bit, has a few electrical bugs but what do you expect for $700?

My first vehicle was a 1986 Nissan pick-up, I got it from my father in '97 with a little less than 80k in on it and when I got in my accident in '99 it have just over 200k and all I had changed was the clutch and alternator, thing ran like a champ, as much of a beater as it looked damn thing got me everwhere and without problems, great gas mileage too !!! I actually miss it.

'87 Volkswagon Jetta GLI (16 valve Straight 4, Manual transmission)

 

[SpeedyCorky]

i have a 88' Toyota MR2 that has given me NO problems in 105k miles.

i also, amazingly enough, have a 89' Ford Aerostar with 130k miles which has essentially been trouble free since day one. yeah, it surprised everyone, but it did it! :laughing

[squid vicious]

90 honda CRX - sold with 192K on the clock. Went from Phoenix to SF once a month (at WOT). Auto-crossed once a month (actually placed pretty well). Never a problem other than maintenence (brakes,tires,oil).

 

[R6 Ryda]

1990 Jeep Cherokee Laredo
287,000 plus miles. Never had any problems with this Jeep, still running on the same original engine. It's my ugly ass baby that I've had since High School. I bought this Jeep Brand spanking new 14 years ago...:laughing
