As a 2015 Honda Accord V6 owner, I swear I love this car! I’ve already run 300,000 *kms on it and no major service needed yet! *edit: Just today, the intake manifold exploded- will need replacement.
well to be fair 300k and 8 years old... clearly it is being driven 24 friggin 7 on the highway. Highway miles many consider nearly half of city driving sooo effectively its comparable to any 2015 with 150k miles for city or mix driving. But older ones are way better, so im curious how the newer ones hold up as more miles are put on
@@AnythingGoesJoJo yeah my bad, the manifold. I haven’t asked my (brother) mechanic on what exactly caused it, but I think gasoline must’ve leaked in here and caused the pipe to explode. I think
I have a 2015 corolla S. I got it in March 2021 for 15,999 with 36k miles, before the price hike of all the used cars in the US. That thing isn't the fastest, nor the sleekest, but with some decent tires and coilovers, it handles pretty darnn well. I drive over a mountain pass almost every day for work and that has improved it's handling quite a bit.
Add awd to this low cost list. That might be a real challenge. But those of us who live in a snow state that doesn't allow studded tires it's the go to type of car
I'm glad i went with my 2021 toyota corolla se, Toyota really killed it with this new look. I added a few things here and there( front spoiler, side skirts) but It gets great gas milage and it's reliable👌🏽💯
I own a basemodel 2004 Honda Accord Tourer (EU market car) that i got for 750€ with 252K Miles on the clock, and it's been rock solid, even though I've had to spend a bit on the maintenance (Clutch, brakes, exhaust work)
A long time ago, my mom owned a 3rd-gen Elantra, and it was AWESOME. 5 speed manual, great fuel efficiency, and it was fun to drive. Unfortunately it got repo'd because she didn't make any car payments.
Iv been driving a 1998 Honda Civic DX 4 door for the past 15 years. Just rolled over 522,000 miles and still going strong. Just a good basic car to get around. Saved mine from a scrap yard for $325.00 with nothing wrong with it other than being dirty.
I can’t believe that you didn’t include the Buick LeSabre or Park Avenue. Any GM product with the 3.8 V-6 engine. My LeSabre has 205,000 miles on it and gets 30 mpg on the highway. Undestuctable.
You’ve gotta give some love to the 3rd gen Hyundai Accent. 2006-2011. They’re cheap, have great gas mileage, reasonably reliable (mine has 167K miles so far), and have pretty fantastic steering feedback. With a few aftermarket upgrades, they handle like they’re on rails! Maybe that hoopty should be your next build series after the 86.
As an owner of 3 Focus mk3. I'm happy to say that if you do regular maintainance accordingly. It's pretty reliable.(Eventhough all of them have Powershift as a gearbox.)
alongside the camry, the solara derves an horable mention as its the same car in a much more stylish coupe with even better interior. another honorable mention is the mitsubishi eclipse 3g and 4g. i personally had one almost reach 300k with no problems at all before i wrecked it.
@@tleoipl37 honestly the lexus es330 is cheaper, more luxurious, and arguably more reliable than almost every car on this list besides the other toyotas. 3k all day for a luxurious tank usually owned by older people and driven gently
The best generation of the MAZDA3 has to be the 2015-2018 because they where only FWD but had the SKYACTIVE-G system! It's like (HONDA's) VTEC, but doesn't burn oil and has some serious Cohones...
The one car not on this list that I plan on getting (and Scotty Kilmer would approve) is the Toyota Matrix. Can't go wrong with Toyota reliability. Btw, just curious...where has Trav and Garrett been? Miss seeing them around and hope they're doing well
03 Camry here with 305k miles. What to expect? I’m east coast gang so potholes sucks ass. Have replaced front shocks at around 220k miles, full front suspension at 298k miles. Rust. My car really doesn’t have any problem wit it. The exhaust was fully replaced at around 200k mark as well. Other than that we kept strong to oil changes at 2k miles to 3500k miles. Spark plugs every 50k miles as well as finally replacing the valve cover gasket at 300k miles. That thing was leaking for at least 60k miles but a quart of oil every 2-3 weeks and u chillin. Basic 4cyl wit the auto but I still rev it out to 5800k rpm every once in a while and she pulls strong for havin 160 pandas on a good evening when the weather is cooler 😂😂
Nissan and mazda are crap and will barely make 200k and it will cost you double in maintenance compared to what the civic and corolla will. The focus is also a turd even the Focus ST which is an amazing value with its turbo power and 6 speed and 22k dollar pricetag but i blew the motor twoce in mine before it got to 100k. Every Civic i owned did 200k with oil changes only and both corollas did 200k with oil changes and one brake job on front only. Only other car ive owned that was better was a Lexus RX330 but it needed a timing belt and a few sensors and struts amd brakes but wemt to 300k and is still going to this day. Generally civics and corollas will do 200k with just oil changes and one brake job if you drive nicely and oil change ecery 3k miles. Its the most practical car you can own. My miata i got 200k from but it took timing belts, oil pan gaskets, 2 brake jobs, water pump, and a transmission. IF YOU TAKE CARE OF A V8 LEXUS IT WILL LAST FOR 400K MILES EVERY TIME WITH JUST TIMING BELT AND WATER PUMP AND A FEW BRAKE JOBS. YOU HAVE TO DRIVE NICE THOUGH.
Volkswagen are reliable but reliable in the sense it will give you every inch of strength its got until it tears itself apart like a depressed divorced father with drinking problems
I,m europen and we don,t have golf 2.5 inline 5 unfortunately I didn,t even know this engine was put in a golf. The best engine that we have on golf 5 is 1.9 TDI Same situation is with Ford Crown
Hmmm Toyota .. Here in my country Toyota is very very very popular, Almost everyone here drive it .. 😄 The dealer also spread across the country, spareparts are cheap, lots of shops selling various accessories for Toyota .. Here its like when you want to buy car its Toyota .. 😄 Anyway .. I drive Volkswagen .. 😄
There's always a faster car than yours so just buy a headache-free reliable Toyota Corolla. Actually people care more about your home and zip code not how fancy your car is.
Not the sentra 2018 style and years STAY AWAY FROM THERE CVT TRANSMISSION I would know it ruins my credit for buying a car with a TRASH TRANSMISSION There is a class action surrounding Nissans CVT STAY WOKE EVRYONE

I work at CarMax and someone sold a 2018 civic with 420k on it. Had some lights on but still runs and ac needs a charge
Any Honda Civic. 😁👍
Civics are invincible. I'll take 10.
A man of culture I see 😅
If it was 421k miles I’d pass 100%
That’s a lot of miles in 5 years😂
He must have been living in his car if he drove 100k miles a year😂😂

Thanks to the internet, dumb ppl now realized there are cars that can go or 100k-200k+ miles. Now Toyota and Hondas prices are fu**cking high🚀

Ayy a actual ideal, realistic, cheap and reliable car list 👏👏👏
for me , crown Victoria for comfort, camry for reliability then golf for fun .
Today is my birthday and ideal has a new video about million mile cars! Let’s celebrate.
Happy birthday! 🎂
You forgot to mention the well known 90's Mercedes-Benz W124 E Class, that car can run forever with little maintenance^^
Iv been driving a 1998 Honda Civic DX 4 door for the past 15 years. Just rolled over 522,000 miles and still going strong. Just a good basic car to get around. Saved mine from a scrap yard for $325.00 with nothing wrong with it other than being dirty.

I read that the V6 versions of the 6th gen Honda Accords have transmission issues so I would look into the 4 cyl version.

Just stay aware of 2.4 burning oil engine
@@El_Tony_C Thanks for the heads up
Solid pick and thanks for watching! G$ and Trav are doing great! We're working on a big project coming soon!
Man now I’m seeing that these are just all daily drivers, the crown Vic and civic are the only ones that interest me imo
Right now I’m happy with my Chevy cobalt has over 180k runs great.

I had a 2001 Focus ZX3 and an 83 Rabbit both reliable. Now I have a 2015 Nissan Note (Versa) which is faultless.
Nice list! 😅
Brad makes ‘em ALL sound great!!
This is something I like about ideal , cheap presenter for cheap videos, great presenter for great videos ✅😂😂
Ive been thinking about getting a 2000 accord, This further helped me in deciding if I should get one or not.

Yessir fresh vid
The answer is always Toyota corolla.

*that generation of Mazda 3 will rust out before u hit 100k miles* 😅🤣😂
Can u do an SUV that have awesome gas mileage?
Didnt know Ford Focus is considered reliable
Ford focus and Nissan Sentra I doubt it makes 500k Never seen one.Mostly junk by the time it reached 200k...
Mazda 3
There's always a faster car than yours so just buy a headache-free reliable Toyota Corolla. Actually people care more about your home and zip code not how fancy your car is.

No surprises here…
3500 buck with 184 k miles 😂😂😂 yea I could last like a year before it dies on me
Bro has been recycling the same videos since Covid
The 2017 Ford Focus is sooooo bad

If there was a 2003-2008 Honda Pilot on this list I would lose my mind. Mine broke at 148k miles
I wonder if Jeff Bezos still has his Honda. 😂
Just about anything Toyota is a bet....
