He's absolutely correct. I had a 94'carolla, and it had 284,000miles on it when I traded it in. But, it never gave me any problems at all. I had it for 14yrs... Truely Bulletproof......!!!!!
same. I miss that car. I bought one for 1400. it had 60k. I didn't think much of it at the time. lasted 340k over 8 years. drove to college and delivered pizza in it. it never had an issue.
My daughter had a 1997 Corolla and she drove it for six years with minimal maintenance. Even the AC still worked after it was 20 years old. Too bad she crashed it into the back of a pickup, or she would probably still have it. Even after that collision, it was still driveable. We put the hood on the driveway, stomped it flat and then put it back on.
Based on my personal experience, I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TOYOTA’s 4.0 V6 and Mazda’s 2.5 V4 skyactiv engines. They are both naturally aspirated. Both of my vehicles, my 2013 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 TRD OFF-ROAD and my 2015 Mazda 6 Grand Touring are powered by these engines respectively and I have NEVER had any issues with them and they are still running strong. I am pretty convinced I can drive both vehicles half a million miles!
Right on! The engines mentioned are so bulletproof - in our family, we have 3 Toyota Corollas. The oldest is a 2003 version. Besides regular maintenance, the replacement of a starter, otherwise everything is original. One Camry hybrid for 10 years - it only requires regular oil change. They are a testament to the solid built quality of Toyota's products.
Had a completely different experience with camry 2000. That was the only car I owned and hated. And dealer, good old dealer, kept on lying and making a fool out of me. Have Altima 2007 and love it. No issues.
I had a Toyota Corolla, hatchback in the late 80’s, used when we bought it. That car was near 300 thousand miles when I sold it. It was still running the last time I saw it and recognized it. The body was rusting, but it was going strong.
I have 350,000+ miles on my F150 Supercrew with the coyote 5.0 in it, and it still runs as good as the day I bought it new. It has been one of the best vehicles I have ever owned.
Back in 2021 I bought a 2008 Honda Civic 4 cylinder 1.8L from a friend. He had been using to make his 160 mile daily commute (80 miles each way). When I bought it, it had 335,000 miles on it. I have put 70,000 more miles on it in the past three years. It now has almost 410,000 miles on it. Replaced a starter, radiator, and transmission fluid sensor. Other than that, just tires and brakes.
Jesus Chris man. Yeah the R18A1 inside the 8th gen civic is absolutely bulletproof if you maintain it correctly. Or sometimes even if you barely maintain it, it will still be bulletproof. Mines a 2010 civic lx and i got 119,005 miles on mine. An im planning on keeping it forever, so it’s awesome to hear your story that you got 400k on yours 😂. Its sad that they don’t mention our engine in this video cause the R series engine is insanely reliable. You can also rip on it like crazy and its still just starts up every day lol theres a guy on youtube who hit 1 million on his R18, then a couple other guys who hit 500 grand
all 10 are Japanese designed engines & over the decades I've owned 2 Honda's 2 Toyota's & now a Mazda CX5 & all had excellent trouble free engines. I sold my Camry with 320,000 miles & it was still going strong. My CX5 was built in Japan & it's an excellent vehicle in fit, handling & engine/transmission etc.
I had a Honda for a long time, now I have a Toyota. I am pretty sure my Toyota gives me less problems than Honda. Honda was more fun to drive, though, very dynamic. But from my experience, Honda is behind Toyota when it comes to reliability.
It depends on personal experience. My friend has Toyota corolla and he has more issues than my Honda CRV. Depends on individual car and individual experience.

I think that the supposed turbo issue comes down to owners not knowing how to take care of a turbo. Use premium grade gasoline, full synthetic oil, a minute of run time before driving and a minute of cool-down time before turning it off.
@@ZaneWulf Poorly taken care of ones are unreliable. Well taken care of ones will get you well beyond the 150k mark. I've had several turbo'd Saabs and only had to replace 1 turbo over the combined 600k+ miles. Bottom line, take care of your stuff.
4Runner is legendary - get the 24, 5th gen while you can. That is if you want to experience the past, present, and future of a new old fashioned vehicle.
Agreed, owned a 2TR-FE for 16 years, 300,000 km and not once saw the CEL come on. Never needed oil top ups between changes and only occasional water. Finally sold it a couple of years ago for a 2008 Lexus with a 2GR-FE which is not quite as good but almost.
I have: 1989 Volvo 740 with 430,611 miles. 1992 Volvo 940 with 420,112 miles. 1993 Volvo 240 with 397,322 miles. All have the same cast iron, red block 4 cyl B230 engine. None show any signs of age. All are reliable to a fault. Unlike todays cars that skimp on metal and iron in favor of plastic, fiberglass and rubber. These cars are heavy, safe and look cool. I felt comfortable letting my 16 year old children learn to drive in them. All I ever did was regular maintenance....oil, filters, tires, brake pads. All have the original exhaust. None leak any fluids. Cheap to insure, exempt to yearly emissions testing. Perfect in every way... Soon I'll be teaching my grandson how to drive in my Volvo 240.
Excellent! We have a 2012 Highlander with the 6 cylinder you mentioned. 200k miles. Not a thing wrong and running strong. We also have a 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Excited to hear you say the same good things. Change your oil and filters every 5000 miles!
My 11 Rav 4WD Limited had the 3.5L V6. It was Extremely reliable. My 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road has the same 3.5L V6. I purposefully bought my 23 Tacoma because I was wanting to get the last of the 3.5L, as I heard that Toyota was dropping the 3.5 and replacing it with the 2.4L Turbo. Screw that. Historically a Naturally Aspirated engine lasts longer than a Turbo.
I wouldn't buy a V6 twin turbo from anyone - AT ALL. Toyota has had a number of 'new' trucks with engines grenading after 60,000 miles with the V6 twin turbo engines. I can't imagine any of them lasting 200,000 miles, never mind 300,000 or more. Also, 'The Car Care Nut' goes in to a somewhat lengthy explanation of how the 'aluminum block' Land Cruisers V8s are failing at 200k (head gasket issues) - and the engine is nearly unrepairable - but the old 'iron block' Land Cruiser V8s are lasting 500k miles or more.
@@Maybe-So I agree with everything that you said. When I found out that Toyota was dropping the 3.5L Naturally Aspirated (NA) V6 in their redesigned 24 Tacoma and dropping in a 4cyl Turbo, I started looking for a new 23 TRD Off Road, double cab, 6’ bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs in White, Barcelona Red or Lunar Rock. 23 came and went and I wasn’t able to find what I was looking for. I finally found Exactly what I was looking for on 2/29/24. It was a new 23 “Leftover”. The dealership was wanting to sell it so they dropped the price by almost $4K off the MSRP. They also gave us (me) a Tri-Fold tonneau cover, running boards, lifetime oil changes, tire rotation, car care kit, and an 8 year 75K mile bumper to bumper warranty. It also came with the TRD Performance exhaust system. I installed a cold air intake and the OTT. I Love my truck and it was worth the wait. I only drive 8-10K miles per year since I retired and I’m quite sure that I’ll drive my Tacoma until my death. I’m quite sure that my wife will still be using it to plow the 5-7 feet of snow off our private road during the winter months until she too dies. Toyota recommends to change the oil every 10K miles but I’m Old School and change it every 5K miles, so I’ll have to pay for every other oil change.
My 2004 Mitsubishi shogun 3.5 long wheelbase was sold last year in northern Spain with over 282000 miles on the clock & was stilll running strong I’v never had a engine like it
@@carhelpcornerthat’s how I feel about Honda’s 2.4L i4 (K24series). It was a workhorse and when maintained correctly could go for hundreds of thousands of miles/kilometers.
I go with Toyotas all the way. I had 2 -6 cylinder Toyota Sienna's and for the last 10 years I've had a Camry Hybrid All of these engines are bulletproof And trouble free. I had 406,000 kilometers On my Sienna before I sold it And except for a few sensors that needed replacing the engine was still running perfectly and burning no oil. My 2007 Camry Hybrid is the best car I've ever owned.
Was happy to hear that the motors in my Toyota sienna and my wife's 4Runner were both on your list. IMy van is a 2016 model and has had no mechanical issues at all and I'm at around 108,000 miles on it now.
My ex-wife had a 1992 Toyota Camry V6 DX. IN 2000 W with approximately 82,000 the transmission went out. After we had it rebuilt, we promptly sold it and bought 2001 Mazda Protege and sold it in 2012 with 154,000 miles with zero issues, never been to the shop except for a scheduled 90,000 service. Not as important as reliability but looked better than Civic and Corolla with much better driving dynamics 👍👍
I remember the 90’s Corolla, when the gas pedal is depressed a bit hard, the vacuum tube to the air cleaner pops out stalling the car, the laugh was, book value was $7,000.00 had to accept $1,100.00 to get rid of it after 6 months. With 56,000 miles. Been there done that.
I have a 2024 HRV sport. Yes it lacks power but im planning on using it as my work commuter in winter for the next decade. I also have a civic 2016 touring with the Turbo engine. No real issues with that one.
@@RickStein-i9oI had a ‘16 Civic with the 2.0L i4 and CVT transmission. Lot of people poo-poo the CVT, but I replaced the fluid on it every 35K miles and it still ran great at 200K miles. Sadly, it was totalled when it was in a collision with a semi-truck. 😔
Got 250k on 2013 Holden Commodore without a doubt the most reliable vehicle Australia ever built but never again as GM dumped us but even 11 yeas after manufacture running reliably. A fault with power steering module that just recently fail but a recall job for this advanced electric power steer and needed a new module unit but did well to last 250 k before failed.
Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) is Honda's term for its variable displacement technology. Many Honda 6's are infected with this self-inflicted mechanical disaster. Don't go near it with a 3-meter pole. Some satisfaction can be had with a disabling kit sold on E-bay for about $100 buck. Honda will tell you you need a new engine that they won't pay for.
I have 2020 Sonata and I am thinking to replace it with sedan Mazda 3 - I think you bought it in the past - how is it working for you? Is it easy on the gas?
Good video, but too bad you didn’t make it a powertrain comparison and included the transmissions. Seems the CVTs may still not hold up as well as true automatics. Keep the vids coming and thanks!
4g69 2.4 in my 2009 Galant. 226000 miles and it just won't quit. I wonder if the 2.4 mentioned in the new Outlander is a derivative of this engine, because I know all Mitsubishi engines are NOT created equal.
The best and longest lasting 4 cyl was the VW Diesel hands down. Too bad they got discontinued. I put 600 km on one and it ran for five more years but I do not know the final count. BTW the engine did not fail the car rusted out after about 20 years.
I have a 2019 honda accord sport with only 65k miles. Nothing but problems for me unfortunately. The 2.0 turbo V4 sputters out and is at the dealers. I had gotten a letter for recall on the fuel pump but the dealer still charging me $250 for a diagnostics fee which I think is BS. What is more upsetting is after I paid it the same problem happened as I drove off the lot the first time. Any suggestions on what I should or can do? Thanks in advance:)
@@samkitty5894 it was before Schwarzenegger repealed the 30 year Smog Exemption law. Since 2004, all gasoline cars 1976+ / Diesel cars 1998+ Must pass emission standards that keep getting revised!
Ford's 4.6L V8, featured in the mid-90s model Thunderbirds (and Crown Vics IIRC) are simply the best engines of that era. As long as basic maintenance was kept up, they run forever. My 96 Thunderbird has nearly 300k miles on it and still purrs like a kitten. It's kinda sad, really, that Ford has been run by ideologically-driven bean-counters for so long now, engine/transmission quality has really nosedived across their offerings today.
GMC 5.3L engine is rock solid and has a track record of hitting 500k. I saw one with 510k Miles, and mine has 220k and still runs strong. Love my GMC truck. Or any car or truck with a long track record
Toyota Hilux Vigo 2013 model with the 1FKVD 3.0 litre D4D Turbo charged diesel engine... Lasts virtually for life , just service it regularly and do if you can afford what is called preventive maintenance.
Just remember, he is speaking about the engines, not the entire car. It all depends on the climate conditions also. In cold countries where salt is used in the winter, you will find lines below the car prone to rust. Rust proofing may help, but not entirely. That can cause leaks which would lead to failures if not caught early. Lexus are bullet proof vehicles all around. I have been driving them for about 17 years now and they are solid performers, more speaking of the ES series. There were some model years that had oil sludge problems, just like the camry. The camry is the USA top selling sedan for years now, that speaks for itself. Everyone should own a scantool. Does not have to be the expensive ones. They have come down on prices now with more features added, that can tell you a lot about the health of your engine and also prevent being ripped of by your trusted mechanic.
Man i know you were mentioning “newer cars” but to anyone reading. If you want a insanely reliable engine. Get you a 2010 civic with the R18a1 4 cylinder. This engine is legitimately bulletproof and can go over 500,000 miles if you maintain it. Especially if you are always on the highway. The r series is absolutely insane. Please look into getting one if you just want something crazy reliable and still modern looking
Giving chops to the Suburu is a joke. 5 engines in my former 2016 Forester were tried and all failed. Last one costing me $5500 out of warrantee. Never another Suburu anything in this household.
I have 4 LS 6.0L GM engines in my work vans personal trucks. Every one has over 270k miles my highest Van has 632k miles. Transmissions suck but the LS engine goes forever
Toyota 2.5 4 Cylinder the 05 Camry my younger brother drives now has 35,000 miles on it at nearly 20 yrs. old we bought it for our late Maternal grandmother on 30th Nov 2004 its a fully loaded LE model in Egyptian sand gold with tan interior what about the 5 liter Coyote engine in the Ford Mustang since 2010 or the 5.8 that's in the Mustang Shelby GT350 and 500 models
The B58 Gen 1 and Gen 2 were great! The Gen 3 has major issues with the valvetrain due to the new cylinder deactivation system. Do not buy until BMW sorts it out.
I think head gasket issues at any mileage is inexcusable. I say the only way it is acceptable is ONLY after cooling/overheating issues. Not just head gasket going out randomly with no warning.
@@oreally8605 I am aware of that, and also transmission issues starting from 2012 to 2017. I almost bought a Subaru not too long ago. I'm happy I went with Mazda instead.
@@asdf_asdf948 which is the only way I believe a head gasket issue going out should be caused. When and after overheating occurs. Not without warning or any indication as Subarus have been know for.
Great video on the best engines. What do you think of acura rdx 2.0 engine or the lexus NX350 2.4 engine which is better to recommend your comments please respond looking forward stay safe.
I had a Toyota Camry which for 6 years was wonderful. Then it went to the garage 4 times in two months. Problems with back brake lights, twice with problems to switch transmission and then mechanic said I was very unwise to drive car with exposed wires in dashboard. I said I can not see thru the dashboard. Then the driver’s door handle broke off. Must have been a lemon. My Toyota Civic is 18 years old and my Honda is 16 years old.
I just got 2024 4Runner Limited 4x4, absolutely love it. Therfore, I owned 2000 Land Cruiser rolls over 700k miles. I don't know what the name of engine is.
@carhelpcorner Yes. Little sluggish, but I am quite surprised it is quieter than my new 2024 4Runner LTD. You don't believe it, I always put my ears close to the front grille just to listen to the sound of the engine starting. Sound of strong NA V8 💪. The fan and whine kicking makes me feel addicted. I have started doing for 8 years
Was gonna say, that coyote 5.0L Ford engine is pretty bullet proof and easy to maintain. If you choose it with a 500hp Mustang, yeah it obviously uses some reliability points and transfers it in to horsepower, but its bullet proof in the trucks.
Yeah as long as you don't get the POS manual transmission in the Ford! I guess if you want to join the Mustang class action suit...get the garbage ford 😂😂😂
The problem with lexus is that if you don't do your own maintenance, the dealer will dry you out, so you ended up spending more than unreliable cars. Es350 owner.
True, I do the services on my wife’s Lexus NX, it’s a toyota engine, $35 oil and filter using pennzoil ultra platinum synthetic (premium oil) and OEM oil filter and let’s call it a day I NEVER take my cars (Toyota and Lexus) to the dealer for service, there’s nothing better than know what product or parts you use in your cars. 👌🏼👌🏼
Just a small example: I cannot agree with Subaru engines being in front of Mazda engines simply because while they last similar hundreds of miles, Mazda engines are far more economic and peppy. That doesn't mean that Subaru engines are not very good, it means that others are better. Btw, what is you source of data, because otherwise your video, while being entertaining and close to the truth, seems to be speculative.
On this channel i can trust the information is going to be the most accurate, reliable and driven by data, even if the owner of the channel does not agree with the data. I can always like without feeling i may regret.
Hello I am in the market for SUV . I had a CRv but it was very low for my knees I sold it yesterday. What do think about Kia Sportage. I had a Hyundai Tucson a few years ago which was very comfortable.
Yep, you missed the Mitsubishi 3A92 engine in the Mitsubishi Mirage. Tiny but bullitproof. Port injection, chain timed, low output. Good for 300.000 miles on average. Goes out of production this year too, by the way (after 12 years of production).
What are your thoughts on Mazda's new inline 6 engine? I recently bought the CX-90 Premium trim, but after watching this video, it seems like I should have gone for the CX-90 PHEV with the 2.5L engine.
Too new to say. It is a very complex engine and challenging to do major service work on. Mazda's reputation has been very good though so it is likely to hold up well. Enjoy it 👍
I am so surprised you never give the skoda octavia and superb a mention most are used in uk as taxis they are very smooth and comfortable and many have mileage into 2oo,000 and 3oo,000 keep changing the cambelt and they will run forever, the estate seems to be the most comfortable I think they have the spaces between the wheels dead right. these cars are perfection but I will let you get a surprise when you find out what motor powers it.

If these engines are great, is it worth considering extended warranty? Of course, provided that you do take care of the car and perform all required service maintenance; and FYI, I'm specifically interested in the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness.
Unlikely you'll get your money's worth out of an extended warranty for any of these. It might be worth it to cover the electronics if you negotiate a great price.
@@carhelpcorner Thank you for the reply. Can you get extended warranty just on electronics? Does that exist for Subarus? I've never heard that before, I just assumed extended warranties covered everything within manufacturer defects/failures. Does that also differ between different Subaru dealerships?
Why are all these companies switching to turbos? It's a well known fact that turbo engines don't last as long as a regular aspirated engine. Toyota is having major problems with their new twin turbo V6s in their trucks. Why change something that's been working for decades.
Lots of Ubers have taken the same engine past 400K with few issues. And the issues that have occurred in numbers so far are not related to lack of oil protection.
@@0HOON0 I haven't taken it to dealer for this issue. at first, I just thought it's dealer that overfilled the oil. but later I realized it maybe an issue, because I found the oil level was normal after last service, it rose to top mark on dipstick after 1000 miles drive.
Sorry you are mislead.... at the beginning of Toyota's hybrid journey, they shared an equal amount of patents with Ford meaning neither paid the other for the technology.
Great question. Time is a factor as rubber/plastic engine components do deteriorate as a result of age. Unavoidable with any engine, but the ones in this video hold up much better than others.
I don't know what's up with the vehicles nowadays? Especially trucks. A 4 cylinder in a truck? Then they add a turbo to it? I'll never buy a truck with a 4 cylinder in it. I need a new vehicle and the only vehicle that looks cool to me is the mazda CX line or the acura.. researching the best option now.. Hondas are fugly and don't like rav4.. I do see a ton of 4runners, mazdas and acuras and the overrated subarus where I live.

I felt comfortable letting my 16 year old children learn to drive in them. All I ever did was regular maintenance....oil, filters, tires, brake pads. All have the original exhaust. None leak any fluids.
Cheap to insure, exempt to yearly emissions testing. Perfect in every way... Soon I'll be teaching my grandson how to drive in my Volvo 240.
I had 2 Vovlos. 440 and 480 ES. Loved them both
Even before being bought by the Chinese commies, Volvo went down in reliability and efficiency. Today Volvo is #25!!! (in reliability).
The golden years of Volvo 👍
@@carhelpcorner Yes, the RWD ones. I would never consider any of the AWD or FWD ones. Not the same...
No rust?
In Canada, the Winter salt will rust the body. The engines often outlast the body.

@@coletsonchoke I do that yearly, it only slow down rust. It doesn't stop rust.
Excellent! We have a 2012 Highlander with the 6 cylinder you mentioned. 200k miles. Not a thing wrong and running strong. We also have a 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Excited to hear you say the same good things. Change your oil and filters every 5000 miles!
My 11 Rav 4WD Limited had the 3.5L V6.
It was Extremely reliable.
My 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road has the same 3.5L V6.
I purposefully bought my 23 Tacoma because I was wanting to get the last of the 3.5L, as I heard that Toyota was dropping the 3.5 and replacing it with the 2.4L Turbo.
Screw that. Historically a Naturally Aspirated engine lasts longer than a Turbo.
Great combo for your driveway 👍
I wouldn't buy a V6 twin turbo from anyone - AT ALL. Toyota has had a number of 'new' trucks with engines grenading after 60,000 miles with the V6 twin turbo engines. I can't imagine any of them lasting 200,000 miles, never mind 300,000 or more.
Also, 'The Car Care Nut' goes in to a somewhat lengthy explanation of how the 'aluminum block' Land Cruisers V8s are failing at 200k (head gasket issues) - and the engine is nearly unrepairable - but the old 'iron block' Land Cruiser V8s are lasting 500k miles or more.
@@Maybe-So I agree with everything that you said.
When I found out that Toyota was dropping the 3.5L Naturally Aspirated (NA) V6 in their redesigned 24 Tacoma and dropping in a 4cyl Turbo, I started looking for a new 23 TRD Off Road, double cab, 6’ bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs in White, Barcelona Red or Lunar Rock.
23 came and went and I wasn’t able to find what I was looking for.
I finally found Exactly what I was looking for on 2/29/24.
It was a new 23 “Leftover”.
The dealership was wanting to sell it so they dropped the price by almost $4K off the MSRP. They also gave us (me) a Tri-Fold tonneau cover, running boards, lifetime oil changes, tire rotation, car care kit, and an 8 year 75K mile bumper to bumper warranty.
It also came with the TRD Performance exhaust system.
I installed a cold air intake and the OTT.
I Love my truck and it was worth the wait.
I only drive 8-10K miles per year since I retired and I’m quite sure that I’ll drive my Tacoma until my death.
I’m quite sure that my wife will still be using it to plow the 5-7 feet of snow off our private road during the winter months until she too dies.
Toyota recommends to change the oil every 10K miles but I’m Old School and change it every 5K miles, so I’ll have to pay for every other oil change.
I bought my 15 Subaru Crosstrek new and have had no problems. I'd like to move up to the Rav4 Hybrid next.
The main reason I bought a RAV4 Hybrid (2023) was for the 2.5 liter, dual-port injection engine. I'm 69, and I'm thinking the RAV will outlast me!
Hybrid will not. Traditional would...
My 2004 Mitsubishi shogun 3.5 long wheelbase was sold last year in northern Spain with over 282000 miles on the clock & was stilll running strong I’v never had a engine like it
Toyota’s 2TR-FE is a 2.7 L 4 cyl that they just discontinued are know for running up to 500,000 miles.
Yes they are. Too bad Toyota doesn't make it anymore 😥
@@carhelpcornerthat’s how I feel about Honda’s 2.4L i4 (K24series). It was a workhorse and when maintained correctly could go for hundreds of thousands of miles/kilometers.
I go with Toyotas all the way. I had 2 -6 cylinder Toyota Sienna's and for the last 10 years I've had a Camry Hybrid All of these engines are bulletproof And trouble free. I had 406,000 kilometers On my Sienna before I sold it And except for a few sensors that needed replacing the engine was still running perfectly and burning no oil. My 2007 Camry Hybrid is the best car I've ever owned.
I hope reliability technology becomes the new "fad" instead of big LCD screens, front end grill, or EVS....
Was happy to hear that the motors in my Toyota sienna and my wife's 4Runner were both on your list. IMy van is a 2016 model and has had no mechanical issues at all and I'm at around 108,000 miles on it now.
So glad I found your awesome CHANNEL!!!💖 Keep giving us excellent information on value engines and vehicles!!!👍 Greatly appreciated!!!😉🤝🙄
I have a Toyota Sienna with 234k miles and doesn't burn or leak a drop of oil and starts without any hesitation.
My ex-wife had a 1992 Toyota Camry V6 DX. IN 2000 W
with approximately 82,000 the transmission went out. After we had it rebuilt, we promptly sold it and bought 2001 Mazda Protege and sold it in 2012 with 154,000 miles with zero issues, never been to the shop except for a scheduled 90,000 service. Not as important as reliability but looked better than Civic and Corolla with much better driving dynamics 👍👍
I remember the 90’s Corolla, when the gas pedal is depressed a bit hard, the vacuum tube to the air cleaner pops out stalling the car, the laugh was, book value was $7,000.00 had to accept $1,100.00 to get rid of it after 6 months. With 56,000 miles. Been there done that.
My 2009 Jetta tdi is at 345.000 km. Love the torque wth the 6 speed transmission.
Lexus V8 should be at the top of the list.
No longer in production for the mainstream models. Only a few slow selling Lexus have it.
A summary list of engines shown for 15 seconds at the end would perfect❤
Toyota Corolla with 500,000 runs great
Have had numerous Honda’s. Great cars/SUV!
1.8 engine in the 8th generation Civic. Its bulletproof.
I have a 2024 HRV sport. Yes it lacks power but im planning on using it as my work commuter in winter for the next decade. I also have a civic 2016 touring with the Turbo engine. No real issues with that one.
The HRV is super reliable. Like Hondas of old.
Nobody owns just the engine there’s also the transmission. Doesn’t matter how great the motor is if the transmission is crap
@@grandmastert01 never had any issues with any Honda I have owned.
@@RickStein-i9oI had a ‘16 Civic with the 2.0L i4 and CVT transmission. Lot of people poo-poo the CVT, but I replaced the fluid on it every 35K miles and it still ran great at 200K miles. Sadly, it was totalled when it was in a collision with a semi-truck. 😔
Got 250k on 2013 Holden Commodore without a doubt the most reliable vehicle Australia ever built but never again as GM dumped us but even 11 yeas after manufacture running reliably. A fault with power steering module that just recently fail but a recall job for this advanced electric power steer and needed a new module unit but did well to last 250 k before failed.
Variable Cylinder Management (VCM) is Honda's term for its variable displacement technology. Many Honda 6's are infected with this self-inflicted mechanical disaster. Don't go near it with a 3-meter pole. Some satisfaction can be had with a disabling kit sold on E-bay for about $100 buck. Honda will tell you you need a new engine that they won't pay for.
i had 2017 accord v6 and i had to replace my timing belt at 96000 miles,thanks god i listen to my engine,my mechanic said i was close to failure
I have 2020 Sonata and I am thinking to replace it with sedan Mazda 3 - I think you bought it in the past - how is it working for you? Is it easy on the gas?
Good video, but too bad you didn’t make it a powertrain comparison and included the transmissions. Seems the CVTs may still not hold up as well as true automatics. Keep the vids coming and thanks!
I thought Mitsubishi Lancer or Galant must be noticed. Galant was my second car in the 1990s.
Thanks for your videos.
I had a 1992 Galant which was a great car too.
4g69 2.4 in my 2009 Galant. 226000 miles and it just won't quit. I wonder if the 2.4 mentioned in the new Outlander is a derivative of this engine, because I know all Mitsubishi engines are NOT created equal.
@@jonell1425 👍
The best and longest lasting 4 cyl was the VW Diesel hands down. Too bad they got discontinued. I put 600 km on one and it ran for five more years but I do not know the final count. BTW the engine did not fail the car rusted out after about 20 years.
I have a 2019 honda accord sport with only 65k miles. Nothing but problems for me unfortunately. The 2.0 turbo V4 sputters out and is at the dealers. I had gotten a letter for recall on the fuel pump but the dealer still charging me $250 for a diagnostics fee which I think is BS. What is more upsetting is after I paid it the same problem happened as I drove off the lot the first time. Any suggestions on what I should or can do? Thanks in advance:)
Anything that is turbocharged will always have a shorter lifespan than an N/A engine.
I have a 2008 Mitsubishi 2 liter Mivec engine. Still runs like brand new. It has 128,000 miles. Maintenance is only oil change. All original
My 2012 Mazda 3 skyactive stull running smoothly on 260K
96 Camry 4 cylinder engine. Had 385k miles and got 34-35 mpg. It still ran and sold it to California because it didn't pass CA smog check.
Shouldn't car that old be exempt from smog test (emissions testing)? It is in all other states.

Ford's 4.6L V8, featured in the mid-90s model Thunderbirds (and Crown Vics IIRC) are simply the best engines of that era. As long as basic maintenance was kept up, they run forever. My 96 Thunderbird has nearly 300k miles on it and still purrs like a kitten. It's kinda sad, really, that Ford has been run by ideologically-driven bean-counters for so long now, engine/transmission quality has really nosedived across their offerings today.
GMC 5.3L engine is rock solid and has a track record of hitting 500k. I saw one with 510k Miles, and mine has 220k and still runs strong. Love my GMC truck. Or any car or truck with a long track record
Except for the new ones with the AFM cylinder deactivation system.
Cylinder deactivation system destroys the lifters. Huge problem with these engines. If it wasn't for that it would be solid.
Toyota Hilux Vigo 2013 model with the 1FKVD 3.0 litre D4D Turbo charged diesel engine... Lasts virtually for life , just service it regularly and do if you can afford what is called preventive maintenance.
Just remember, he is speaking about the engines, not the entire car. It all depends on the climate conditions also. In cold countries where salt is used in the winter, you will find lines below the car prone to rust. Rust proofing may help, but not entirely. That can cause leaks which would lead to failures if not caught early.
Lexus are bullet proof vehicles all around. I have been driving them for about 17 years now and they are solid performers, more speaking of the ES series. There were some model years that had oil sludge problems, just like the camry.
The camry is the USA top selling sedan for years now, that speaks for itself.
Everyone should own a scantool. Does not have to be the expensive ones. They have come down on prices now with more features added, that can tell you a lot about the health of your engine and also prevent being ripped of by your trusted mechanic.
Nice video..should make one for most reliable transmissions too
Such cars are not sold any more.
Man i know you were mentioning “newer cars” but to anyone reading. If you want a insanely reliable engine. Get you a 2010 civic with the R18a1 4 cylinder. This engine is legitimately bulletproof and can go over 500,000 miles if you maintain it. Especially if you are always on the highway. The r series is absolutely insane. Please look into getting one if you just want something crazy reliable and still modern looking
Giving chops to the Suburu is a joke. 5 engines in my former 2016 Forester were tried and all failed. Last one costing me $5500 out of warrantee. Never another Suburu anything in this household.
Let see if your cvt can follow your
Engine , go with a regular automatic , it's a shame no more manual transmission
Certainly mirrors my experience and CR's usual conclusions: you can't go wrong (reliability wise) with Toyota/Lexus, Honda, Subaru, Mazda.
I have 4 LS 6.0L GM engines in my work vans personal trucks. Every one has over 270k miles my highest Van has 632k miles. Transmissions suck but the LS engine goes forever
It's so unfortunate Honda phased out the J35 in their Accords. I love the natural sounding growl when I floor the gas on my Accord V6.

The B58 Gen 1 and Gen 2 were great! The Gen 3 has major issues with the valvetrain due to the new cylinder deactivation system. Do not buy until BMW sorts it out.

My Nissan Altima 1999 has a bulletproof engine. Never had any problem.
Got over 250,000 miles out my boxer before blown head gasket. ( never had to add oil between 5k interval oil/filter changes)
I think head gasket issues at any mileage is inexcusable. I say the only way it is acceptable is ONLY after cooling/overheating issues. Not just head gasket going out randomly with no warning.

Was gonna say, that coyote 5.0L Ford engine is pretty bullet proof and easy to maintain. If you choose it with a 500hp Mustang, yeah it obviously uses some reliability points and transfers it in to horsepower, but its bullet proof in the trucks.

True, I do the services on my wife’s Lexus NX, it’s a toyota engine, $35 oil and filter using pennzoil ultra platinum synthetic (premium oil) and OEM oil filter and let’s call it a day I NEVER take my cars (Toyota and Lexus) to the dealer for service, there’s nothing better than know what product or parts you use in your cars. 👌🏼👌🏼
Just a small example: I cannot agree with Subaru engines being in front of Mazda engines simply because while they last similar hundreds of miles, Mazda engines are far more economic and peppy.
That doesn't mean that Subaru engines are not very good, it means that others are better.
Btw, what is you source of data, because otherwise your video, while being entertaining and close to the truth, seems to be speculative.
2019-2022 FB25s do suffer from issues with the Thermo Control Valve. Subaru just extended the warranty on that part to 15 years or 150,000 miles.

Hello I am in the market for SUV . I had a CRv but it was very low for my knees I sold it yesterday. What do think about Kia Sportage. I had a Hyundai Tucson a few years ago which was very comfortable.
Yep, you missed the Mitsubishi 3A92 engine in the Mitsubishi Mirage. Tiny but bullitproof. Port injection, chain timed, low output. Good for 300.000 miles on average. Goes out of production this year too, by the way (after 12 years of production).
What are your thoughts on Mazda's new inline 6 engine? I recently bought the CX-90 Premium trim, but after watching this video, it seems like I should have gone for the CX-90 PHEV with the 2.5L engine.
Just follow your maintenance, you will be fine.
Too new to say. It is a very complex engine and challenging to do major service work on. Mazda's reputation has been very good though so it is likely to hold up well. Enjoy it 👍
I am so surprised you never give the skoda octavia and superb a mention most are used in uk as taxis they are very smooth and comfortable and many have mileage into 2oo,000 and 3oo,000 keep changing the cambelt and they will run forever, the estate seems to be the most comfortable I think they have the spaces between the wheels dead right. these cars are perfection but I will let you get a surprise when you find out what motor powers it.

If these engines are great, is it worth considering extended warranty? Of course, provided that you do take care of the car and perform all required service maintenance; and FYI, I'm specifically interested in the 2024 Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness.
Unlikely you'll get your money's worth out of an extended warranty for any of these. It might be worth it to cover the electronics if you negotiate a great price.
@@carhelpcorner Thank you for the reply. Can you get extended warranty just on electronics? Does that exist for Subarus?

Subaru engines have silicone sealant for engine gasket. They often fail. Also, their cvt transmissions can have troubles with high mileage.
Why are all these companies switching to turbos? It's a well known fact that turbo engines don't last as long as a regular aspirated engine. Toyota is having major problems with their new twin turbo V6s in their trucks. Why change something that's been working for decades.

How the newish 2.5 used in camry hev will perform long term is a question mark for me considering the mandatory use of 0w8 oil
meh, 0w16 works fine , should be no problem with 0w8
Only time will tell. Even 0w16 is relatively new
Lots of Ubers have taken the same engine past 400K with few issues. And the issues that have occurred in numbers so far are not related to lack of oil protection.
If that's how the engine was engineered then it should be fine. The far more critical piece is the oil change interval and not stretching it too long.

Good that Mini is not included, unlike the newest Consumer Reports survey results.
how many yrs could these engines last if i only put on 120,000 miles in 18 yrs? Is time a factor in the decay of the engine?
Great question. Time is a factor as rubber/plastic engine components do deteriorate as a result of age. Unavoidable with any engine, but the ones in this video hold up much better than others.
All engines seals would decay over time. After 15yrs, then you have to do inspections closely and check for leaks.
