Our 06 highlander limited AWD has 350k and 07 Tundra 4x4 has 298k. Both still rolling down the roads everyday!! Money well spent. I do all my own maintenance.

very true, Japanese Brands are the best and unbeatable!

I've owned an ES, Prius, and currently an Outback. My brother has the Highlander. A friend has the CX-5. Mom drove a CR-V. Dad and step mom had/have Outbacks (and a Legacy). This list makes a lot of sense to me, and apparently my family and friends.

Happy to see both the Subaru Forester and the Subaru Outback in this video!!! I have owned both and they are great cars!!!

As a Subaru owner I agree with you…completely. We kept our 2011 Subaru Outback 11 years. Overall it was a great reliable car. Our current 2018 Crosstrek we expect to keep at least ten years as do we expect to keep our 2022 Forester at least ten years too.

The first Toyota Venza version is my top pick. I still have my 2009 XLE with almost 300,000 miles. It still have the original engine and original transmission. It have some issues but, none mayor issues. The only biggest issue was the AC. Overall in my 15 years ownership maybe we have spend on fixing around 6K with the AC replacement taking more than 40% of the repair cost. The only car that beat it is my 1988 Mazda B2200. It also have the original engine and original transmission.

6k over 15 years is a lot in repairs. Was it dealerships? AC should not cost more than $1500 to replace.

I have a 2020 Forester and it’s been great so far. I bought it because every Subaru owner that I met loved their cars. It wasn’t even on my radar tbh. Just got a ‘24 Crosstrek and can say that I’m very happy with it. I’ve heard people say the engine is underpowered but I have no problem getting up to speed. The touchscreen has been very responsive. Wireless Apple CarPlay works great. The thing feels like a tank.

I bought Highlander hybrid after watching many many videos of yours and I can truly say it is one of the most amazing vehicle I ever bought. I get more gas mileage than some of the best economical sedan.

Great video! I completely agree with everything you stated. I kept my 2004 Toyota Camry LE (4-cylinder/automatic) until trading it in 2011 for a new Honda CR-V SE 4WD which I'd still have if I hadn't moved from Portland, Maine to Phoenix, Arizona where AWD isn't needed. I traded the CR-V for a new 2017 Camry LE (4-cylinder/automatic) which I still have. Both of my Camrys have been non-hybrids because I found that with careful driving, you can get outstanding gas mileage without having the higher insurance premiums that are associated with most hybrids. Generally speaking, hybrids are more expensive to insure because their greater complexity makes them more expensive to repair than their non-hybrid counterpart. Neither of my Camrys, nor my CR-V, ever needed ANY repairs...they were completely flawless vehicles.

Subaru Forester: I had a Subaru Forester 2004. Bought it in 2007. Was made in Japan. Following is the list of problems I had with it until 2018: Replaced the alternator three times. Replaced the A/C compressor. The sun roof stopped moving so I had it sealed shut. Repair wasn't advised by the Subaru dealer. The tail gate started leaking. So I just stopped taking it to the car wash. Driver side A pillar trim came off. I had to tape it. Passenger side window had some type of leak and the resulting air noise was really loud above 90KPH. Started having hiccups and was diagnosed with a problem in the turbo. Ended up donating it to some kidney foundation. Got a CAD 300 tax receipt for it. Those are just the things I remember. I had a Subaru "Justy" decades ago. Had to take it for wheel alignment every 6 months using hydraulic jacks! So nope! Life is too short. Gonna try an unreliable German now.

I bought a 2011 Forester new in December 2010. Drove it until last week. In 13+ years, it was a solid, reliable vehicle. Never had a single mechanical repair done outside of maintenance - regular service, tires, and brakes. Despite a lot of off-roading, having been rear-ended twice (I did have body work done for that), and just a bunch of bumps, scratches, and nicks, it continues to run reliably. I never thought I'd buy another vehicle other than another Forester in the future. I test drove a new 2024 Forester - top of the line and fully loaded. Loved everything about it, but the sluggish performance was a huge turnoff. My old one was manual and I had great control over power and acceleration. With an automatic transmission, it was just anemic. Merging on the highway was difficult. Passing a vehicle took forever. Pulling out from an intersection in traffic was terrible, and it was not confidence inspiring. I just couldn't see myself driving that for the next decade or more even though I truly loved everything else about it. It unfortunately just didn't have it where it counts most for me. It's sad that I had to walk away from the Subaru dealership.

They were so cheap before pandemic! I nearly bought a new manual 2018 for $9500 brand new with discounts! So many bought them under $12,000. Now they are over 15k. Not worth it. But I agree with you.

The Camry is built in KY, and the Mazda CX-50 is built in Alabama, in the same factory as the Corolla Cross. For Subarus, the great all wheel drive comes with more overall maintenance costs, see videos about spark plugs every 30 thousand miles, and the parts needed after 100 thousand miles for many of these.

Well, I plan to keep my 2010 Toyota Yaris forever. It just runs. And I love the location of the cup holder.

Subarus do need more maintenance than some competitors. The Cvt especially should be serviced more frequently than a conventional automatic. We love our Forester so it's worth it.

I’ve got over 60k on my subie and thankfully not much trouble so far

Is it true that tayota camry, "hybrid " realy on market from 10 years on roads?

The last 2 well cared for used Lexus vehicles that I've owned, were so dramatically better made, more reliable, quieter and gave me better satisfaction than the prior German and Domestic piles of dung that I still have regrets over purchasing. Never again. I have a Lexus and Honda in the garage now and can pay cash for gently used while still driving them for 10+ years. This knowledge can provide earlier financial freedom 😄

I have noticed on this channel that there are always Toyota's Lexuses Honda's Subaru's and Acuras and it would be interesting to do a list of drivers who keep there car's for 20 years and all of these are my favourite brands of cars and all of these brands are popular in Australia except for Acura and the biggest selling vehicle in Australia is the Toyota Hilux and the biggest selling motor vehicle brand is Toyota and the second biggest selling brand is Mazda

I still have one owner 2006 Cadillac STS and no plan to part it

We drive a 2011 Prius and have never had a repair or a complaint except the headlights needed polishing. We bought it new around $22,000. We DO maintain it. NOTE>>>>>> I would confidently drive any SUV on this list. We also drive a 2016 RAV4 Hybrid with not one repair except for wreck damage. I bought it new for about $29000.

Beware of any vehicle with a TINY motor with a turbo!

Why the crv couldn't be a good option?

Nice list... I have the 2012 CRV and still going strong in 2023. Curious, when you say something is 2.1 x higher than the average SUV ownership, what exactly do you mean ? Do you mean that this group of owners tend to keep their cars 210% longer than the average SUV owner (i.e. more than three times longer) ? What is the average amount of time an average SUV owner keep their cars ? I am having a difficult time wrapping my head around this metric. Must be the triptaphane from last night's turkey (Thanksgiving Day)

According to the study, 16.8% of SUV's are kept by the original owner after 10 years, so 2.1 x higher means that 35% keep that model for 10 years. Owner retention was used as a measure of owner satisfaction.
