Which car to last "forever"?

[Anonymous]

My civic lasted 20+ years. Donated it when me moved to NYC and had to downsize (I cried when the guy took it away). Didn’t look dated. The Q train is a poor substitute for my beloved little Civic.

Honda. Hands down.

We have had a Ford for 15 years now with over 180,000 miles. And we’ve not had to do any major repairs.

Good luck.

I have a 2008 with over 200K miles. I have to take it in to get the timing belt changed...and that's the most expensive maintenance bill I've had with this vehicle thus far.

Not anymore. Consumer reports gives them a 1/5 for predicted reliability.

Wait until after the election to buy. If Biden wins we'll likely see an end to affordable gas.

Honda +1

The Acura brand has been stalling in recent times, and on the reliability front, it's surprising how badly they've messed up. Older Acuras were (/still are) super reliable long-term. New models have been having big problems right out of the gate, hence the low Consumer Reports scores.

The MDX redesign was just unveiled and it looks pretty good, but I wouldn't touch it based on Acura's issues lately.

Jeep Wrangler. https://www.parkmarinamotors.com/blog/what-are-the-jeep-wrangler-generations/

Modernizes every decade or so, but still the same cool look that helped win WWII.

I have a Subaru and was drawn to it because I saw so many older ones on the road.

My extended family are now converts and five of us now have Subarus.

We have a Ford that is 22 years old, very little work into it and running strong.

She inherited Dads farm so car is Parked in same building since 1930. Still runs. My nephew asked for it. Some of those farms have 1920-1950 cars still in original owners family
