My wife purchased a Ford Escape in 2012 , It was new and we still have it ! As of right now we have 299,484 miles on it . I an using it to commute to work every day about 44 miles one way . Planning on getting about 400,000 on it and will see then . Does have factory transmission and motor. I will say I had to clean out the EGR and a wheel bearing had to be replaced along with several sets of tires . In all can't complain !
@@denali6935 true. It is a flex fuel and now at 350,000 miles it’s still rolling along. Storm put a tree on it and busted the front windshield. I proceeded to bend the roof back well enough to get the windshield back in. Now one of the kids are rolling around with it.
I have a 2,004 Honda Element with 207,000 miles on it. I have the oil changed and tires rotated every 5,000 miles. For the last nine years, I have made no car payments. This is the number one benefit in owning a reliable, long lasting car
I have the 04 CRV -same engine as yours. A touch more miles than you - no issues with engine or transmission. Everything original - fuel pump, water pump, etc. I'm embarrassed to admit original antifreeze too. Just that dang A/C compressor has been the only issue.
@@ontogeny6474My 2005 CRV SE's compressor went out at 241k miles. It was a nightmare to replace. I had to take the ac condenser and radiator out to get the thing out. Sitting at 250k miles right now.
Anyone know if the Elements had the same AC compressor issue as the CRVs? Based on the comments, if the compressor goes out at 200k+ miles, I feel you're doing good! Looking at Elements and CRVs now, and this was a good video with useful info., thanks!
I own an 2001 CRV , original owner, with 175k, and a 2003 Honda Element I purchased as a second vehicle 2 years ago, with 170k. I love my CRV! And love my Element. It’s good to see that both these vehicles are in the top for reliability.
Love my 2006 Element. Hitting 200,000 any day. No issues. Replaced some bushings/control arms. (easy) Original starter going strong. (Not too hard to replace if you do some research). Don't think I'll ever sell it. I haul my motorcycle in it and so much more. You can put a washer and dryer in one. 60 even 70 tvs no problem.
just purchased a 2003 CRV a couple weeks ago with 100k miles on it for $2000 , due to salvage title. damage is cosmetic. loving this vehicle, had no idea how long they last, so now I am loving it even more
twisteddman you did good, they are tough ass little vehicles, we had a 99’ w 200k, when we traded it on a newer CRV the air was still ice cold, it didn’t burn a drop of oil.
@@limeyosu2000 well someone painted the whole thing flat black , including the wheels, so paints covered LOL actually doesnt look bad at all . I assume it was done because some body panels were replaced at some point and painting the rest to match was easier than getting a real paint job. I am thinking about putting a SHEILD logo on the side LOL
I have Honda CR-V 2.0 l, bought 2002, now 580 000 kilometers. Still going strong, motor and body in good shape. All kilometers driven in Finland in tough conditions. Really reliable car 😉
Hey Bill. I just purchased a 2008 Honda Element AWD Manual trans. I was pleased to see the Element score so high on your list. The one I bought has 140,000 miles so far. I'll get back to you, in let's say about 100,000 more miles. It's a great driving rig. I hope to see much of our awake country in it. Keep up the great videos.
Hey guys, i bought a 2000 Ford Taurus in 2002. Replaced batteries, tires, plugs, coils & serpentine belt, that's it, original motor & trans. Got 238,000+ miles. Best little car i've ever owned. It's a 6 cylinder. I'm looking @ Hondas & Ford Escapes or possibly a Crown Vic. Know my Taurus won't last forever.
Have a 2003 Honda Element that I bought new. Currently at 285127 miles. Having issues with compression in cylinder #1 due to my neglecting to get the valves spec checked at 220K. Get you valve spec checked every 110K as recommended by the owners manual. Overall, the best car I have ever had. Hoping to find a 2010-11 with low miles. I sure wish Honda would bring back the Element.
For Subaru Forester owners remember that when it's time to do a a head gasket check that you might as well do your timing belt. When you take it into a shop to do your head gaskets they will already have easy access to your timing belt where its super easy to swap to out. Most mechanics/shops will just charge the cost of the timing belt if you do it this way and you'll save quite a bit on labour.
We just sold a 2004 Subaru Forrester that had just over 323,000 miles (purchased with about 45,xxx)! It's still being driven by the buyer (husband's coworker). Our daughter was driving it when it turned 300,000. Love long lasting cars... I drive a 2003 Tahoe with 167,xxx miles and my husband drive a 2005 Forrester with 225,xxx miles!
We're on our second Element. The first one went to 160K before the frame rusted beyond repair. Our second one is an '05 and that has 230K. Love our Elements!
I just sold my 2001 CR-V in February with 332k miles for $1200. All original but was getting rusty- I did one tune up on it a couple years ago & never any other repair. I would have kept it but I found a late 2004 CR-V with factory 2005 improvements, power moonroof, factory fog lights, and a hitch receiver, and everything works! It has 250k (255k now) but no rust, beautiful burgundy paint & perfect tan interior & a completely new exhaust. (I got it for $1400). It's the 2.4L with timing chain & feels far superior to my 2.0L that I had.I drive a lot for work so I had Best Buy install a bluetooth DVD stereo $255) for phone calls & even though the tires were good I went from the 205/70/15 to new 215/75/15 tires ($330 w/ road hazard) and they make it look really good. I installed a heavy duty waterproof pet liner under the rear seat all the way back so I can flip them forward and use it like a little truck when I want to- sometimes I call it my toolbox on wheels but it is truly an all purpose vehicle! Can you imagine if Honda had offered the 3.5L Saturn Vue Redline/Honda Ridgeline V6? I'd really be tearing up the road with that kind of power but at the same time I think this 2.4L is one of the best built engines I've seen! I drive just over 25,000 miles a year for work & deduct 54 cents a mile so these pay for themselves very quickly! -I gotta say, We have a used A4 convertible, a S80 T6 twin turbo, & my old 7.3L Powerstroke 4x4 at home but it is CRAZY how much I love the CR-V!
Had a 2002 CRV, gave to my daughter because she wanted it. Going strong , reaching 400K miles. Only thing I replaced recently, water pump, and ball joints. Everything else original. Of course brakes every 30k miles.
Sorry, brakes not every 30k miles, lol. Probably every 70k miles (Front brakes). But, unless you live in San Francisco with all those hills, I can see a lot of brake usage.
My 2004 Honda Element has 190,000 miles...runs great, still looks good...normal maintenance. Only complaint is that the front seats split along the seams very early on with just normal use.
I bought a 2001 crv for $1200. Had over 200k miles. Ran and drove fine. Did have to replace front tires when I got it. Replaced radiator. In October 2017 I was rear ended on the highway. That was the end of that car. Before that I had a 97 honda odyssey. Turd of a car yet ran and drove with 400k miles. Still see it around town.
I've only had 1 car so far in my life. I just got a 2001 CRV last year. I love it. has less then 180k miles. Got it for 400$. But vary little was wrong with it.
Had a 1983 Suzuki Samaria sold it when the kids came in 1992 it was a rust bucket 200+km (Japanese knew nothing about Canadian winters then but that engine was great -30 pull the choke and she would be the only car in the neighborhood that started ). Had a 2008 Highlander transmission went at 400km Now I own a 2009 Rav 4 with 305 km just replaced drive the shaft for $1000 chose to buy a new one. It was my dad's car and I am very attached to it, hoping to get another 2 years or 400 km out of her..thank you for your reviews
I have an 02 Honda CRV, it has a timing chain not belt, with 215,000 and an 03 RAV 4 standard transmission with 161,000. I plan on driving both into the ground. I like them both more than most of the people I know.
I'm the original owner of a 2009 Mercury Mariner 2.5 non-hybrid (purchased on 03/23/2009) . Just hit 250,000 this week. Original engine and trans. I've also towed well over the 1,500 pound limit several times throughout its life. Only real issue, I've gone through several A/c condensers. I've used different brands throughout this issue too. Probably not a well known fact: The 2.5 is a Mazda developed engine.
2004 Toyora Matrix Xr. 5 speed. 350,000 miles orginal engine and transmission only clutch replacement done. Great cars. Would rather have the element though.
The first generation Matrix is a great car along with its rebadged Vibe cousin. They kind of screwed up the Matrix line by changing the engine transmission combo choices.
Jeep Patriot with 2,3 4-Zyl or 3,7 6 Zyl, both without Turbo. Constructet for Gasoline 91, runs also without Problems upper 300 TMiles. They only go out of use, because of some hard tours offroad. - TY for video.
I had a 2001 Suzuki vitara with a 1.6l 4 cylinder and a manual transmission. It went 270k without many issues. Not comparing it to a Toyota or Honda, but not too bad for the price range. Great little off road toy and fun to drive.
Few weeks ago I bought a 2004 Pontiac Vibe auto with 120k, great little car with lots of room for hauling stuff when the back seats are folded flat! Am getting 29 mpg with about 60% highway driving. Was looking at 2002-2005 RAV4, but kept going back to the Vibe. Better gas mileage and equally as reliable as it is basically an older Toyota. I just sold my 2001 Cherokee with 240k for $800. Not sad to see the gas hog go!
Recently traded in our 2004 CRV Silver 2.4 engine built in Canada. It had 305,900 miles on it, Original everything. We were 2nd owners from my wifes parents. No issues at time of trade in, but 1 quart of oil between changes but never smoked out tailpipe, nor any leaks detected. Our fear was the fact that it had over 300,000 and was overdue for a major repair, According to the Carfax someone else purchased the car and it still rolls on. The dealer only gave us 500 on trade in. Then turned around and put a sticker of 2999 after only cleaning the car a little ! I'm pleased and believe whomever got this CRV if taken care of the way we did can get many more miles out of her. We did place a lot of after market stuff on her like backup camera, lots of extra LED light bars on top, front, back, interior, and little red ones on the mudflaps, single racing stripe accross hood and roof with a hood scoop also with 2.4 chrome decals on the scoop. Nicknamed her Truck, very much different from all other CRV's not to mention oversized Goodyear Wranglers all around. We traded to a 2013 Ford Escape and really miss our CRV, Nothing will ever be the same again, it was like losing part of the family. If I didn't think it would be to weird, I would like to visit her sometimes. LOL.......................
283,000 miles on my '98 CRV and still with the original engine and AT. Also still rolling with the original starter,fuel pump and alternator although I did a minor rebuild of the alternator by replacing the brush assembly for almost nothing. I adjust the valve clearance every 40K miles and the engine still pulls like a champ. That being said it does burn oil these days and the trans occasionally flares between gears. If you maintain the first gen V's properly they're mules...just crazy reliable.
Have a 2002 CRV with 220K miles original engine and transmission still runs perfect but A/C not working, and best car ever owned was 1998 Nissan Maxima original engine and trans also with 280K miles, every thing worked on that car even the power antenna, still drove strong and smooth up to the day it went to the shredder due to the rust on frame from salty winter roads.
I had a 2002 CRV. I sold it with 180,000 miles. Kind of wish I would’ve kept that car, but was having a few issues with the CV boots. Also had to replace the brakes every year for some reason. Never had the AC issue. I had the airbag recalls. Actually I had a recall on the recall. It was a pain. Traded it in for a 2010 RAV4 V6. Currently have 140k miles. It’s been very reliable. However the spark plugs replacement is costly. Love the engine, it’s a beast. 0-60 in under 7 seconds! Just wish the gas mileage was a little better.
If you maintain a vehicle , most will last 200 k . You can get over 350 with some . The thing is , it takes more investment than fillups , car notes and oil changes . Its up to you whether or not you would rather put an extra $1,000 -$1,500 worth of maintanance per year on your car or you would rather continually carrying a note .
2004 Ford Escape V6. 300,000 2day! Quite a few alternators, transmission started having shifting problems about 280,000. But I love this car. Hopefully I will get to see 400,000. Airbag issues? yes, don't they all.
Just got my 2010 Element serviced today at the dealership, doing preventive maintenance. Original engine & transmission, bought it new, 256,000 miles. Shootinʻ for a million. I had to get rid of my 2003 CRV in 2010 because every little thing was starting to happen and it was starting to cost me money -- that was when Iʻd had it for 5 years. It had the A/C problems several times. I bought a brand new Odyssey in 1995 when they first came out and put 316,000 miles on it in 10 years. My first was an ʻ81 Honda Accord hatchback, second was an ʻ87 Accord Lxi. Come to think of it, adding up all of my Honda mileage all together, and all Iʻve ever driven since 1985 has been Hondas, Iʻve probably personally put a million miles on my Hondas. Tomorrow Iʻm taking another 400-mile trip!
I strongly disagree with the findings of the RAV4. I'm a car wholesaler and I've been to countless auctions with RAV4s well above 300K. The transmission controversy turned out to be an issue with condensation building up in the gas tank which caused the car to jerk and sputter at highway speeds. Ratchet Toyota dealerships were claiming transmission issues while charging Toyota for the warranty work. That happened in my 2000 Camry. Toyota forced they're dealership Network to build giant Taj Mahal type dealerships with expensive service departments and in order to support themselves the dealerships we're charging for Unnecessary work. I had a $4,000 transmission replacement under warranty and while driving it out of the dealership it did exactly what I brought it in for which turned out to be condensation building up in the gas tank
From what I've read it was an issue with the ECM causing the RAV to jerk around and eventual transmission failure. Was it the condensation causing the ECM issues? I have an 03 RAV with a standard transmission. Were those a affected as well?
2002 Chevy S10 blazer 212858 miles keeps on going. Keep the fluids changed replace what needs changed they will keep moving not as fast but they will keep moving
Hi Bill, I found a 2008 Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD with over 900,000 miles, a 2010 Lincoln Navigator with just over 300k miles, a 1999 Chevrolet Tahoe with just over 360k miles, a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 with just over 886k miles, a 2002 Buick Century with just over 888k miles, etc.
The problem with the 2000-2003 RAV4 was the automatic transmission, the 5sp standard was just fine. Btw, the Rav4 4.2 was sold in Europe from 2000-2006 and did not come with the 2.4L oil burning engine. For the 2004-2006 the RAV4 had an updated 2,0vvti motor as the early 1zFE's from 00-03 had some oil burning issues as well. Good break down on the long life SUV's however.
The problem was not the transmission, it was the ECM. The ECM would go bad and if you don't do something about it it will affect the transmission, and sometimes destroy it.
my used '94 jeep cherokee had loose engine mount bolts not noticed the1'st months of driving it. thus they ( 3 of em on R-side) all sheared off up in the mtn's. called AAA for tow rescue. spent next 4 months (fall into winter) pulling engine and working the old bolts out and in with new ones. in short its back together and running well again. gone from 169k to 217k over the next 10 years. its been a reliable work-horse of a vehicle for mtn camp trips in CO. its gradually failing in many other areas : driver side upper hinge , rear lift hatch compression struts , heater fan switch , cracked windshield . all of which add up to repairing costing a lot less than what a replacement jeep would run.
I'm original owner of an '03 Honda Element. 357,200+ miles. Well deserved #1 spot. Replaced 1 starter, 1 alternator, 1 throttle body, both sets inner and outer time rods once, ignition coils twice along with spark plugs, all 4 struts once, brakes every 2 years, 4 sets of tires, muffler and exhaust pipes 3 times. I've had to replace the windshield at least once every 2 to 3 years due to rocks. Best vehicle ever and so versitle. My one major complaint is the power. Just a little slow off the jump. Probably gearing. I have an '04 CRV 166,000+ a little quicker off the line.
No surprise about the Honda Element. I have a 2006 Element and while the darn thing is as homely as a mud fence, it is nevertheless a wonderful little car. It's way bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside and with 182K on mine, it has no squeaks or rattles and I intend to keep it forever.
2002 Isuzu Rodeo LS 3.6l v6 220k miles, still going strong, suppose to be a throw away vehicle at around 120k miles, guess I got lucky! By the way, I have had to replace NOTHING! except of course new sets of tires.
Great video, just a couple of corrections. The Cr-V's from 02 on have timing chains not belts, as do the Elements. Also the Element is basically a boxier CR-V. It's the same frame, engine/tranny and running gear.
I've worked on an '02 CR-V with over 400,000 miles. My personal '04 has 126k; runs fine never had major issue, just replaced timing chain, tensioner and cover.
I'm driving 1999 Toyota RAV4. Original tranny, original motor. Just clocked 334,433 miles yesterday. Got the photo to prove it, too! It's nimble, easy on my pocket, but underpowered. Still love it, though.
It would be good to know if any of these high mileage cars are still on their original engine and transmission. High miles doesn’t always equal a reliable car.
I have a 08 civic that has 350k. I've flushed the transmission 3 times and changed the oil 35 times. Replaced an alternator at 224k, starter at 180k, and 340k. Orginal wheel bearings and I purchased a set of "lifetime" pads from autozone in 2008 and have had them replaced for free ever since. What I'm getting at is a civic is cheap. I get 34mpg in my LX
@Dave W Don't worry, it WILL start showing signs of wear and age SOON! Be prepared to start replacing ALOT! If you haven't done the timing belt/chain yet, its overdue!
Just sold a 2004 crv with 227,000 miles. All original and ran like a brand new car. Shifts at cruising and wide open throttle were consistently flawless. Traded up to a bigger 2002 toyota Highlander with 3.0 and 222,000 miles. Hoping it is as reliable
Had a 2000 dodge Durango with 375000 mls bought it with only 8mls still running good, donated to an organization that helps those who need a vehicle, been sitting in the garage hardly used, best running we've had.
My brother in law has of all things a 2001 Chevy cavalier that has way over 400k miles on basically a throw away car with almost no issues. Amazing! He drives it pretty much every day approximately 60 miles.
@@AshAirheart1995 yes it started to smoke out the tailpipe also exhaust smoke coming from the radiator and water inside the oil.. i drained all the fluids and put fresh oil and coolant and i added a bottle of headgasket sealer into the radiator and im hoping it can last a while before it takes a shit again lol.
@@AshAirheart1995 i also installed fresh spark plugs since the old ones were wet af from coolant being on top of the pistons. after i did all of this it started right up its been about 3 weeks since the headgasket blew and its still running strong. idk how long its gonna last but fuck it lol
I have a 2006 Honda CRV LX I recently bought. I live in northern Minnesota and I couldn't believe how clean this vehicle was. It was bought on auction from Maine, and I purchased it from a local dealer. The vehicle has just over 362,000 miles on the original motor and transmission. I recently took my family (wife and 2 children) to meet up with my in-laws for dinner (140 mile round trip) and I couldn't believe how true and tight the steering was and how decent the ride was for a vehicle with that many miles. As a true Minnesotan, I idle the CRV all the time in the winter to warm it up for our kids. By-the-way it's not really necessary to warm up the vehicle for a long time even at 0 degrees Fahrenheit since the small 4 cyl. engine warms up very quickly anyway. With the mix of a weeks worth of city driving to work, and the trip, the CRV managed just a tick under 21 MPG with the CRV. I am impressed and believe I'll easily get another 100k+ miles out of the CRV and a consistent 25+ mpg in the spring/summer/fall. This is a lot better than my Silverado getting just a tick over 14 mpg. There are no signs of transmission slippage, fluid leaks, check engine lights, or other concerns with the vehicle. I can't say enough about my experience with the 2006 Honda CRV so far.
I’m running a 1997 Honda Odyssey with 210 thousand miles. Original motor/transmission. It has the 4 doors witch I really love. Honda made this 4 door Odyssey model for only two years.
We have the 2010. Going ok but at 127,000 he have a p2610 we had software reloaded but it came back 6mo later. We will probably have to get a new ECM. I have posted in a number of places but I can’t find anyone where this has happened to them. Other than that we’ve owned for about 3 yrs now. Bought it at 104,000 miles and it’s about 125,000 now.
Hey man. I have a 1999 Honda CR-V with an all original, non-rebuilt or non overhauled engine and 5speed transmission. As of today it has 473,800 miles on her and I drive it every single day. It’s an absolutely amazing car. I think I have the highest mileage 1st gen crv ever.
My 06 CR-V is at 187,000 Miles, Runs like new. I change oil on Time, I self service the Trans at least once a Year and the fluid always Drain's Pink. Interior and body are in Good Shape and I'll keep it till one of us dies. I did have to fix the AC, which this model is known for --A $1500 repair. Other than that, The best car I've owned.
excellent chronological breakdown of car models with 200,000 miles or better. I was kind of HOPING YOU COULD GIVE statistics on 2017-2019 HONDA CRV with the 1.5 liter engines. I still like your show and have SUBSCRIBED to it. HOPE to HEAR FROM YOU SOON.
I have a 2005 Chevy Tahoe LT that has 396,000 miles on it. I still drive it every day. Only two owners and always been serviced like it should. I have had to replace water pump and starter. Thats it. Will send odometer pics and whole body pics if you would like.
Mileage alone does not tell the full story, you also have to take the environment into account. Cars in Texas are expected to last longer than cars in for example upstate New York where the temperatures are more extreme and they use salt on the winter roads
@@GrimYak Yes, that is absolutely true. Here in Canada I am seeing cars with less than 100000 miles dying because of the number of winters that they had to survive. Structural parts rusted though,, peripheral stuff like power steering systems giving the ghost just because of the addisional 30 to 50 degrees F they have to cycle through at each winter stertup ( which is where the short trips that you mention also come into play) It has been found that cars in our harshest province are on average four years younger than cars in our province with the most temperate climate
Just purchased a 2003 Element. Two days after purchase I had to replace the power steering rack and the power steering pump. Sixteen hundred bucks. Let's hope that holds it for a while.
Nice video. Just a note, the recalls are not valid for UK dealers, I had the mentioned problems at my RAV4 and CRV and the cost in excess of £2k to put right.
I have a 2008 Mazda 2.3 hatchback with 614,565 as of tonight. 1st engine lasted 474.000plus miles. She is on her 3rd auto transmission. As a medical courier I travel thru Minnesota in awful weather both in metro and rural areas. Just bought a 2nd with 212,000. Wifes Vibe has 276.000. Change your oil,kids.
Never knew the element as an SUV. Its a front wheel drive hatchback to most of us Escape hybrids are always for sale with over 500k miles for about $3,000 yellow paint in all
I have 07 crv with 296,000 miles, still running strong and I drive it hard, it's the most reliable car I've owned. Only issues are , I replaced the ac compressor 2 times , the batteries last 2-3 years so I got a bigger size and that fixed the issue, the door locks make weird noises, and last the suspension is clicking so I need to look into it. I just do regularly maintenance and only use full synthetic oil. It's great on gas.
I have a Suzuki grand Vitara 2008 that's done just about 250,000 miles and still drives like the day I got it, only just replacement $50 seal on the gearbox this year and no work on the engine ever other than just maintenance changing oil and filters things like that
Hey all! I've heard from a couple of you about the 2002 CRV has a timing chain, not a belt. Noted, my bad...thanks for the correction. - Bill
RITE ON
Good man bill!
@Tumbleweed not first gens
Pontiac Vibe!! 299,999+
03 crv 362,191 as of today 8-1-2020 original engine and transmission and still running strong.
My wife purchased a Ford Escape in 2012 , It was new and we still have it ! As of right now we have 299,484 miles on it . I an using it to commute to work every day about 44 miles one way . Planning on getting about 400,000 on it and will see then . Does have factory transmission and motor. I will say I had to clean out the EGR and a wheel bearing had to be replaced along with several sets of tires . In all can't complain !
Those americanos ford escape are great
Yeah without the ecoboost engine
@@denali6935 true. It is a flex fuel and now at 350,000 miles it’s still rolling along. Storm put a tree on it and busted the front windshield. I proceeded to bend the roof back well enough to get the windshield back in. Now one of the kids are rolling around with it.
I have a 2,004 Honda Element with 207,000 miles on it. I have the oil changed and tires rotated every 5,000 miles. For the last nine years, I have made no car payments. This is the number one benefit in owning a reliable, long lasting car
I have the 04 CRV -same engine as yours. A touch more miles than you - no issues with engine or transmission. Everything original - fuel pump, water pump, etc. I'm embarrassed to admit original antifreeze too. Just that dang A/C compressor has been the only issue.
Your right about that!
@@ontogeny6474My 2005 CRV SE's compressor went out at 241k miles. It was a nightmare to replace. I had to take the ac condenser and radiator out to get the thing out. Sitting at 250k miles right now.
I have a 2005 crv bought new every part still original with 165k mi.
Anyone know if the Elements had the same AC compressor issue as the CRVs? Based on the comments, if the compressor goes out at 200k+ miles, I feel you're doing good! Looking at Elements and CRVs now, and this was a good video with useful info., thanks!
I own an 2001 CRV , original owner, with 175k, and a 2003 Honda Element I purchased as a second vehicle 2 years ago, with 170k. I love my CRV! And love my Element. It’s good to see that both these vehicles are in the top for reliability.
On the flip side of having high miles, last year I bought a 2004 CRV [all wheel drive] with 50,000 miles. Absolutely love it so far. Runs flawless.
Love my 2006 Element. Hitting 200,000 any day. No issues. Replaced some bushings/control arms. (easy) Original starter going strong. (Not too hard to replace if you do some research). Don't think I'll ever sell it. I haul my motorcycle in it and so much more. You can put a washer and dryer in one. 60 even 70 tvs no problem.
just purchased a 2003 CRV a couple weeks ago with 100k miles on it for $2000 , due to salvage title. damage is cosmetic. loving this vehicle, had no idea how long they last, so now I am loving it even more
CRV are pretty dam built proof tbh. The paint may fade in time but mechanically they are strong.
twisteddman you did good, they are tough ass little vehicles, we had a 99’ w 200k, when we traded it on a newer CRV the air was still ice cold, it didn’t burn a drop of oil.
@@limeyosu2000 well someone painted the whole thing flat black , including the wheels, so paints covered LOL actually doesnt look bad at all . I assume it was done because some body panels were replaced at some point and painting the rest to match was easier than getting a real paint job. I am thinking about putting a SHEILD logo on the side LOL
I have Honda CR-V 2.0 l, bought 2002, now 580 000 kilometers. Still going strong, motor and body in good shape. All kilometers driven in Finland in tough conditions. Really reliable car 😉
Pineman is it awd or 4wd?? That’s awesome by the way. Currently shopping an old crv
Hey Bill. I just purchased a 2008 Honda Element AWD Manual trans. I was pleased to see the Element score so high on your list. The one I bought has 140,000 miles so far. I'll get back to you, in let's say about 100,000 more miles. It's a great driving rig. I hope to see much of our awake country in it. Keep up the great videos.
I own a 2002 Forester that I love. Bought for 2500 in 2016 with 124k miles. 150k now and keeps on keeping on. It's a five speed manual. My favorite!
Hey guys, i bought a 2000 Ford Taurus in 2002. Replaced batteries, tires, plugs, coils & serpentine belt, that's it, original motor & trans. Got 238,000+ miles. Best little car i've ever owned. It's a 6 cylinder. I'm looking @ Hondas & Ford Escapes or possibly a Crown Vic. Know my Taurus won't last forever.
Have a 2003 Honda Element that I bought new. Currently at 285127 miles. Having issues with compression in cylinder #1 due to my neglecting to get the valves spec checked at 220K. Get you valve spec checked every 110K as recommended by the owners manual.
Overall, the best car I have ever had. Hoping to find a 2010-11 with low miles. I sure wish Honda would bring back the Element.
I love my Honda Element. 200k on a 04 and it runs great. Tons of space, fun to drive. All around awesome vehicle.
Honda CRV (2006, 135,000), Honda Element (2007, 147,000j and Honda Element (2008, 137, 000)...love all three!
For Subaru Forester owners remember that when it's time to do a a head gasket check that you might as well do your timing belt. When you take it into a shop to do your head gaskets they will already have easy access to your timing belt where its super easy to swap to out. Most mechanics/shops will just charge the cost of the timing belt if you do it this way and you'll save quite a bit on labour.
We just sold a 2004 Subaru Forrester that had just over 323,000 miles (purchased with about 45,xxx)! It's still being driven by the buyer (husband's coworker). Our daughter was driving it when it turned 300,000. Love long lasting cars... I drive a 2003 Tahoe with 167,xxx miles and my husband drive a 2005 Forrester with 225,xxx miles!
We're on our second Element. The first one went to 160K before the frame rusted beyond repair. Our second one is an '05 and that has 230K. Love our Elements!
Gas mileage sucks tho
I just sold my 2001 CR-V in February with 332k miles for $1200. All original but was getting rusty- I did one tune up on it a couple years ago & never any other repair. I would have kept it but I found a late 2004 CR-V with factory 2005 improvements, power moonroof, factory fog lights, and a hitch receiver, and everything works! It has 250k (255k now) but no rust, beautiful burgundy paint & perfect tan interior & a completely new exhaust. (I got it for $1400). It's the 2.4L with timing chain & feels far superior to my 2.0L that I had.I drive a lot for work so I had Best Buy install a bluetooth DVD stereo $255) for phone calls & even though the tires were good I went from the 205/70/15 to new 215/75/15 tires ($330 w/ road hazard) and they make it look really good. I installed a heavy duty waterproof pet liner under the rear seat all the way back so I can flip them forward and use it like a little truck when I want to- sometimes I call it my toolbox on wheels but it is truly an all purpose vehicle! Can you imagine if Honda had offered the 3.5L Saturn Vue Redline/Honda Ridgeline V6? I'd really be tearing up the road with that kind of power but at the same time I think this 2.4L is one of the best built engines I've seen! I drive just over 25,000 miles a year for work & deduct 54 cents a mile so these pay for themselves very quickly! -I gotta say, We have a used A4 convertible, a S80 T6 twin turbo, & my old 7.3L Powerstroke 4x4 at home but it is CRAZY how much I love the CR-V!
Had a 2002 CRV, gave to my daughter because she wanted it. Going strong , reaching 400K miles. Only thing I replaced recently, water pump, and ball joints. Everything else original. Of course brakes every 30k miles.
Nice how's the mpg?
@@stn7172 At best 30 mpg. If you drive wildly, I`d say 26 mpg. But I would take that over a unreliable car.
holy geez, brakes every 30k miles? thats not lasting long at all
Sorry, brakes not every 30k miles, lol. Probably every 70k miles (Front brakes). But, unless you live in San Francisco with all those hills, I can see a lot of brake usage.
@@walterf5502 thats a lil better lol
My 2004 Honda Element has 190,000 miles...runs great, still looks good...normal maintenance. Only complaint is that the front seats split along the seams very early on with just normal use.
I own a 2003 Element with 210k miles on it. It runs and drives like new.
I bought a 2001 crv for $1200. Had over 200k miles. Ran and drove fine. Did have to replace front tires when I got it. Replaced radiator. In October 2017 I was rear ended on the highway. That was the end of that car. Before that I had a 97 honda odyssey. Turd of a car yet ran and drove with 400k miles. Still see it around town.
I've only had 1 car so far in my life. I just got a 2001 CRV last year. I love it. has less then 180k miles. Got it for 400$. But vary little was wrong with it.
I recently bought a 2010 honda crv. Good to know this info on it. Thanks. It had 103K miles when purchased
Had a 1983 Suzuki Samaria sold it when the kids came in 1992 it was a rust bucket 200+km (Japanese knew nothing about Canadian winters then but that engine was great -30 pull the choke and she would be the only car in the neighborhood that started ). Had a 2008 Highlander transmission went at 400km Now I own a 2009 Rav 4 with 305 km just replaced drive the shaft for $1000 chose to buy a new one. It was my dad's car and I am very attached to it, hoping to get another 2 years or 400 km out of her..thank you for your reviews
I have an 02 Honda CRV, it has a timing chain not belt, with 215,000 and an 03 RAV 4 standard transmission with 161,000. I plan on driving both into the ground. I like them both more than most of the people I know.
I'm the original owner of a 2009 Mercury Mariner 2.5 non-hybrid (purchased on 03/23/2009) . Just hit 250,000 this week. Original engine and trans. I've also towed well over the 1,500 pound limit several times throughout its life. Only real issue, I've gone through several A/c condensers. I've used different brands throughout this issue too. Probably not a well known fact: The 2.5 is a Mazda developed engine.
2004 Toyora Matrix Xr. 5 speed. 350,000 miles orginal engine and transmission only clutch replacement done. Great cars. Would rather have the element though.
The first generation Matrix is a great car along with its rebadged Vibe cousin. They kind of screwed up the Matrix line by changing the engine transmission combo choices.
Jeep Patriot with 2,3 4-Zyl or 3,7 6 Zyl, both without Turbo. Constructet for Gasoline 91, runs also without Problems upper 300 TMiles. They only go out of use, because of some hard tours offroad. - TY for video.
I had a 2001 Suzuki vitara with a 1.6l 4 cylinder and a manual transmission. It went 270k without many issues. Not comparing it to a Toyota or Honda, but not too bad for the price range. Great little off road toy and fun to drive.
Few weeks ago I bought a 2004 Pontiac Vibe auto with 120k, great little car with lots of room for hauling stuff when the back seats are folded flat! Am getting 29 mpg with about 60% highway driving. Was looking at 2002-2005 RAV4, but kept going back to the Vibe. Better gas mileage and equally as reliable as it is basically an older Toyota.
I just sold my 2001 Cherokee with 240k for $800. Not sad to see the gas hog go!
Recently traded in our 2004 CRV Silver 2.4 engine built in Canada. It had 305,900 miles on it, Original everything. We were 2nd owners from my wifes parents. No issues at time of trade in, but 1 quart of oil between changes but never smoked out tailpipe, nor any leaks detected. Our fear was the fact that it had over 300,000 and was overdue for a major repair, According to the Carfax someone else purchased the car and it still rolls on. The dealer only gave us 500 on trade in. Then turned around and put a sticker of 2999 after only cleaning the car a little ! I'm pleased and believe whomever got this CRV if taken care of the way we did can get many more miles out of her. We did place a lot of after market stuff on her like backup camera, lots of extra LED light bars on top, front, back, interior, and little red ones on the mudflaps, single racing stripe accross hood and roof with a hood scoop also with 2.4 chrome decals on the scoop. Nicknamed her Truck, very much different from all other CRV's not to mention oversized Goodyear Wranglers all around. We traded to a 2013 Ford Escape and really miss our CRV, Nothing will ever be the same again, it was like losing part of the family. If I didn't think it would be to weird, I would like to visit her sometimes. LOL.......................
Honda crv 2001 290k miles still go strong
Rene Ortiz original transmission????
283,000 miles on my '98 CRV and still with the original engine and AT. Also still rolling with the original starter,fuel pump and alternator although I did a minor rebuild of the alternator by replacing the brush assembly for almost nothing. I adjust the valve clearance every 40K miles and the engine still pulls like a champ. That being said it does burn oil these days and the trans occasionally flares between gears. If you maintain the first gen V's properly they're mules...just crazy reliable.
Wow thats phenomenal!
2004 292K original transmission and engine. Still solid.
@banANNA Once at 98K and Honda split the cost. Now have 300k on my car and 200k on the current A/C
Have a 2002 CRV with 220K miles original engine and transmission still runs perfect but A/C not working, and best car ever owned was 1998 Nissan Maxima original engine and trans also with 280K miles, every thing worked on that car even the power antenna, still drove strong and smooth up to the day it went to the shredder due to the rust on frame from salty winter roads.
My 1997 Geo Prism has over 300,000 miles. Toyota motor with same transmission. Oil changes, sometimes wheel bearings and timing belt.
Go Geo.
I had a 2002 CRV. I sold it with 180,000 miles. Kind of wish I would’ve kept that car, but was having a few issues with the CV boots. Also had to replace the brakes every year for some reason. Never had the AC issue. I had the airbag recalls. Actually I had a recall on the recall. It was a pain. Traded it in for a 2010 RAV4 V6. Currently have 140k miles. It’s been very reliable. However the spark plugs replacement is costly. Love the engine, it’s a beast. 0-60 in under 7 seconds! Just wish the gas mileage was a little better.
If you maintain a vehicle , most will last 200 k . You can get over 350 with some . The thing is , it takes more investment than fillups , car notes and oil changes . Its up to you whether or not you would rather put an extra $1,000 -$1,500 worth of maintanance per year on your car or you would rather continually carrying a note .
2004 Ford Escape V6. 300,000 2day! Quite a few alternators, transmission started having shifting problems about 280,000. But I love this car. Hopefully I will get to see 400,000. Airbag issues? yes, don't they all.
My Pontiac vibe had over 299,000. The OD stopped in 2011. The car died with electrical problem in 2019. Only to be sold and driven again same engine .
If you keep replacing parts, They last forever, like cars in Cuba.
In Cuba they don't replace parts.
@@b.c.gamingss yea they repair and use same parts
@@ueg-zm8wf Yeah I know. Parts are complicated to find.

Just got my 2010 Element serviced today at the dealership, doing preventive maintenance. Original engine & transmission, bought it new, 256,000 miles. Shootinʻ for a million. I had to get rid of my 2003 CRV in 2010 because every little thing was starting to happen and it was starting to cost me money -- that was when Iʻd had it for 5 years. It had the A/C problems several times. I bought a brand new Odyssey in 1995 when they first came out and put 316,000 miles on it in 10 years. My first was an ʻ81 Honda Accord hatchback, second was an ʻ87 Accord Lxi. Come to think of it, adding up all of my Honda mileage all together, and all Iʻve ever driven since 1985 has been Hondas, Iʻve probably personally put a million miles on my Hondas. Tomorrow Iʻm taking another 400-mile trip!
Gotta LOVE Honda's!!!😁🤙
I bought a 2000 CRV with 211,000 miles on it for $300. It is still running strong on original engine and transmission.
I strongly disagree with the findings of the RAV4. I'm a car wholesaler and I've been to countless auctions with RAV4s well above 300K. The transmission controversy turned out to be an issue with condensation building up in the gas tank which caused the car to jerk and sputter at highway speeds. Ratchet Toyota dealerships were claiming transmission issues while charging Toyota for the warranty work. That happened in my 2000 Camry. Toyota forced they're dealership Network to build giant Taj Mahal type dealerships with expensive service departments and in order to support themselves the dealerships we're charging for Unnecessary work. I had a $4,000 transmission replacement under warranty and while driving it out of the dealership it did exactly what I brought it in for which turned out to be condensation building up in the gas tank
From what I've read it was an issue with the ECM causing the RAV to jerk around and eventual transmission failure. Was it the condensation causing the ECM issues? I have an 03 RAV with a standard transmission. Were those a affected as well?
@Heywood Jablowme those aren't my words, they're the exact words from Carcomplaints.com referring to the 01-2003 Rav4. Thanks for the clarification

Hey Bill I have a 2002 Toyota Sienna that has 400,000+ on it
The problem with the 2000-2003 RAV4 was the automatic transmission, the 5sp standard was just fine. Btw, the Rav4 4.2 was sold in Europe from 2000-2006 and did not come with the 2.4L oil burning engine. For the 2004-2006 the RAV4 had an updated 2,0vvti motor as the early 1zFE's from 00-03 had some oil burning issues as well. Good break down on the long life SUV's however.
The problem was not the transmission, it was the ECM. The ECM would go bad and if you don't do something about it it will affect the transmission, and sometimes destroy it.
I've owned 4 elements, and currently own 2....My 05' currently has 305,000 miles, My 11' has 114,000...love em..
my used '94 jeep cherokee had loose engine mount bolts not noticed the1'st months of driving it.
thus they ( 3 of em on R-side) all sheared off up in the mtn's. called AAA for tow rescue.
spent next 4 months (fall into winter) pulling engine and working the old bolts out and in
with new ones. in short its back together and running well again. gone from 169k to 217k
over the next 10 years. its been a reliable work-horse of a vehicle for mtn camp trips in CO.
its gradually failing in many other areas : driver side upper hinge , rear lift
hatch compression struts , heater fan switch , cracked windshield . all of which add up
to repairing costing a lot less than what a replacement jeep would run.
I'm original owner of an '03 Honda Element. 357,200+ miles. Well deserved #1 spot. Replaced 1 starter, 1 alternator, 1 throttle body, both sets inner and outer time rods once, ignition coils twice along with spark plugs, all 4 struts once, brakes every 2 years, 4 sets of tires, muffler and exhaust pipes 3 times. I've had to replace the windshield at least once every 2 to 3 years due to rocks. Best vehicle ever and so versitle. My one major complaint is the power. Just a little slow off the jump. Probably gearing. I have an '04 CRV 166,000+ a little quicker off the line.
Must be an automatic. I feel the gearing in my '03 5pd is too short.

No surprise about the Honda Element. I have a 2006 Element and while the darn thing is as homely as a mud fence, it is nevertheless a wonderful little car. It's way bigger on the inside than it looks from the outside and with 182K on mine, it has no squeaks or rattles and I intend to keep it forever.
@ Funny you should ask that. It averages about the same as my 2015 Mustang GT, about 21.5 mpg.
2002 Isuzu Rodeo LS 3.6l v6 220k miles, still going strong, suppose to be a throw away vehicle at around 120k miles, guess I got lucky! By the way, I have had to replace NOTHING! except of course new sets of tires.
Great video, just a couple of corrections. The Cr-V's from 02 on have timing chains not belts, as do the Elements. Also the Element is basically a boxier CR-V. It's the same frame, engine/tranny and running gear.

I have a 2006 Honda CRV LX I recently bought. I live in northern Minnesota and I couldn't believe how clean this vehicle was. It was bought on auction from Maine, and I purchased it from a local dealer. The vehicle has just over 362,000 miles on the original motor and transmission. I recently took my family (wife and 2 children) to meet up with my in-laws for dinner (140 mile round trip) and I couldn't believe how true and tight the steering was and how decent the ride was for a vehicle with that many miles. As a true Minnesotan, I idle the CRV all the time in the winter to warm it up for our kids. By-the-way it's not really necessary to warm up the vehicle for a long time even at 0 degrees Fahrenheit since the small 4 cyl. engine warms up very quickly anyway. With the mix of a weeks worth of city driving to work, and the trip, the CRV managed just a tick under 21 MPG with the CRV. I am impressed and believe I'll easily get another 100k+ miles out of the CRV and a consistent 25+ mpg in the spring/summer/fall. This is a lot better than my Silverado getting just a tick over 14 mpg. There are no signs of transmission slippage, fluid leaks, check engine lights, or other concerns with the vehicle. I can't say enough about my experience with the 2006 Honda CRV so far.
updates?
I’m running a 1997 Honda Odyssey with 210 thousand miles. Original motor/transmission. It has the 4 doors witch I really love. Honda made this 4 door Odyssey model for only two years.
The '04 to '07 Saturn Vue SUV's equipped with the 2.5 L Honda V-Tek motor also routinely do 200K.
You mean 3.5L? The 4-cylinder option is sourced from GM.
I owned a Saturn VUE many years ago. At around 70,000 miles I couldn't get rid of that money pit fast enough.
We have the 2010. Going ok but at 127,000 he have a p2610 we had software reloaded but it came back 6mo later. We will probably have to get a new ECM. I have posted in a number of places but I can’t find anyone where this has happened to them. Other than that we’ve owned for about 3 yrs now. Bought it at 104,000 miles and it’s about 125,000 now.

Mileage alone does not tell the full story, you also have to take the environment into account. Cars in Texas are expected to last longer than cars in for example upstate New York where the temperatures are more extreme and they use salt on the winter roads
Beer Stein yup. Also take into account highway vs city stop and go vehicles.
@@GrimYak Yes, that is absolutely true. Here in Canada I am seeing cars with less than 100000 miles dying because of the number of winters that they had to survive. Structural parts rusted though,, peripheral stuff like power steering systems giving the ghost just because of the addisional 30 to 50 degrees F they have to cycle through at each winter stertup ( which is where the short trips that you mention also come into play) It has been found that cars in our harshest province are on average four years younger than cars in our province with the most temperate climate
Just purchased a 2003 Element. Two days after purchase I had to replace the power steering rack and the power steering pump. Sixteen hundred bucks. Let's hope that holds it for a while.
I have a 2012 Ford Escape XLT with over 331k and still running strong.
I appreciate reliable cars and hate shop time. Honda Element is amazing and news has it that they will make them again this year!
Nice video. Just a note, the recalls are not valid for UK dealers, I had the mentioned problems at my RAV4 and CRV and the cost in excess of £2k to put right.
I loved my AMC wagon with wood grain sides and canary yellow paint.
take care of any car the right way they all last 200,000+. its called replacing parts that break/ware out and chaging fluids
Yeah, to make it to 200,000 isn't that big of a deal to me.
@@sdeedenzacker i put 200,000 miles on my truck every 3.5 yrs lol i dont keep them tho thats my limit on my work truck till i trade it in
2003 CRV. 148,000 miles. Perfection.
Got 288,000 0n mind.
One thing I did on my 2001 Forrester was I put BLUE DEVIL head gasket sealer in it fixed the problem 197000 miles some of that pulling a 4x8 trailer
I have a 2008 Mazda 2.3 hatchback with 614,565 as of tonight. 1st engine lasted 474.000plus miles. She is on her 3rd auto transmission. As a medical courier I travel thru Minnesota in awful weather both in metro and rural areas. Just bought a 2nd with 212,000. Wifes Vibe has 276.000. Change your oil,kids.
2005 Element with 266,000 miles on original engine and transmission. Still shifts buttery smooth.
A timing belt took out my 2005 Forester. Very sad, since I changed it at 100k and it failed at 110k. I replaced the pulley bearings and everything.
Never knew the element as an SUV. Its a front wheel drive hatchback to most of us
Escape hybrids are always for sale with over 500k miles for about $3,000 yellow paint in all
Country Boy 85 Honda elements come awd also!
I have 07 crv with 296,000 miles, still running strong and I drive it hard, it's the most reliable car I've owned. Only issues are , I replaced the ac compressor 2 times , the batteries last 2-3 years so I got a bigger size and that fixed the issue, the door locks make weird noises, and last the suspension is clicking so I need to look into it. I just do regularly maintenance and only use full synthetic oil. It's great on gas.
I have a 07 CRV also.I have 280000 miles.The only problem I have had is the AC compressor went out also.
My 2009 is just a baby with “only” 170,000 miles.
I would take a Chevy/geo/Suzuki tracker over any of them. Best all around SUV ever made
I have a Suzuki grand Vitara 2008 that's done just about 250,000 miles and still drives like the day I got it, only just replacement $50 seal on the gearbox this year and no work on the engine ever other than just maintenance changing oil and filters things like that
