The most reliable car is the car that gets the maintenance done and doesn't get routinely hooned.
This article is worthless. I leased a 2014 Highlander XLE for 3 years. At 28,000 miles the transmission, engine oil cooler, and the radiator all broke. I repeat - 28,000 miles. Yes, warranty covered it and the dealer gave us a "loaner car" but it was shocking to have this happen. Some much for Toyota. We did NOT use the car for off road. Did not even have AWD and was driven by my wife around town.
7:46 PM - Um, you do need a new wife like you said. Too bad you couldn't move into a slightly used Pinto.
Was it maintained cording to the manual
7:46 well that explains it all "... was driven by my wife..."
"cording"?
A 2014 is 3 years old. The article is talking about 15 year old vehicles - 2002 models. Big difference.
I think Toyota and Honda have really slipped in terms of reliability. They really made bullet proof cars in the 90s and they are resting on their laurels. I think Hyundai and Kia have made huge leaps in reliability since the 90s when they were really junk. Buying trends have not changed... yet. Part of the problem is the Toyota and Honda "certified" program. You are rolling an extended warranty, which you can buy on ANY used car, into the price of the car. This artificially inflates the resale value of these cars.
Hyundai and Kia have a factory warranty twice as long, but if the car is resold the warranty is cut in half. I feel like this artificially deflates the value of the car.
