Currently I'm driving 92 carmy Toyota almost hitting 300 K. I'm debating what my next car will be just in case if my Carmy die one day. I'm not sure which brand to buy I have my eye on Ford for the 150 or honda toyota compact car. Any advice will help will consider brand.

[hirevtuner]

first off, camrys can go over 500 k if maintained properly, as for car brand, is really a bias so it depends what you like as nowadays with modern vehicles, they tend to be built better and tehcnology so your real question is do you want a sedan, coupe, truck or suv

[Funnel]

It's hard to go wrong with Toyota.

[twitchyzero]

your 90s Toyota Carmy will probably outlive you

[underscore]

Toyota is the most reliable brand around.

US Toyotas will probably last forever, the models that don't come to North America haunted me a lot. Their engines are great, just very scary to drive around with these problems.

Daily driven:
1st Gen Toyota Alphard: Rear suspension and camber problems, wrecky transmission, A/C gone bad in 2 yrs, some electric problems found by dealer. All fixed under warranty and we sold it on the 4th yr.
2nd Gen Toyota Alphard: Airbag recall, side airbag did not deploy when it flipped sideway, cracked engine mount, broken steering rack, reverse gear is fucked, retarded power doors
3rd Gen Toyota Alphard: Engine won't start due to the keyless entry.

Not sure I've ever heard of a Toyota dying, save for it being totaled or stolen.

An 87 Celica GTS I once owned spun a rod bearing at which point I dumped it, so yeah Toyotas die.

I did the exact same thing to my 87 Celica GTS. It had 468xxx km on it and I was 17 at the time, so no real surprise the poor thing spun a bearing. If I bought it now vs then I'm sure it'd go well over half a million km.

Subaru kind of biased since I have 2 and my whole family drives them.

Me - 16' Wrx
Wife - 16' outback
Moms - 15' impreza
Bro 1 - 17' wrx, 07' wrx (sold), 08' STi (sold)
Bro 2 - 02' wrx, 97' JDM foresturd
Cuzin - 06' impreza
Uncle 17' Outback

Subaru has been good to us to say the least lol...

[Whatheshrek]

I'm gonnA try to take care of the Camry until it dies I appreciate your input

[Whatheshrek]

How does the Subaru feel when you drive it I always have my eye on the Subaru

[M3E46Fanatic]

07 civic! car is super reliable, cheap on maintenance and gas but it's got no power

[DoughBoy]

Jaguar

[asian_XL]

how tesla is below average? a lot of problems?

[Jmac]

how tesla is below average? a lot of problems?
Model S problem areas: Drive system, body integrity, in-car electronics (Average rating)

Model 3 and Model X they say not enough data available, but give below average and well-below average predicted reliability ratings. What that's based on, who knows.

[orgasm_donor]

I also recommend Toyota or Honda for reliability and fairly low cost of parts.

BMW and Audi might be fairly reliable for the first 2-3 years but once something breaks, you need to re-mortgage your house and sell your first born to replace anything.

Just say NO to Fiat! LOL

[!LittleDragon]

I've had 2 Toyotas and 2 Hyundais. Parents had 2 Mazdas, 2 Chryslers/Plymouth and a Pontiac. Sister had a Hyundai and a Mazda...

Honestly, they're all the same. We didn't have one car that had more problems than another. If you see a car you like, I wouldn't let reliability be the deciding factor.

turbo Subaru's are pretty reliable (EJ25). had mine since '08 and it's running better than day 1..

Not the fastest cars on the road, but 350-400whp daily driven can be done pretty easily and not that expensive. (watch out for the tranny if you're making more than 400whp on a 5 speed)
lots of aftermarket parts and support.. check out Nasioc, iWSTi.. etc

Good in all weather conditions. (can drive year round no problem)

Not the best in fuel mileage if that's a concern to you though. I average 10.8L/100km. usually get around 400km before I go fill up.. (91 octane and up can get pretty pricey if you have long commute)

Overall, I think it's a fun, reliable, affordable car that makes decent power (for its price) and can be daily driven year round. Boxer rumble is nice too!

I think mine had about 210k kms when it went. It also leaked a litre of oil a week... :fuckthatshit:

[Verdasco]

toyotas are insane... i wonder if the FRS would last forever like a corolla does :lawl:

[!SG]

modern vehicles, they tend to be built better and tehcnology so your real question is do you want a sedan, coupe, truck or suv

I would actually say the opposite. more cars that come out now with more issues due to rush release. more tech = more problems.

that's why mechanics aren't mechanics anymore, and are called technicians.
