The 15 Vehicles Most Likely to Last You 15 Years
Not that I have to convince this forum about the reliability and build quality of the SC, the list below that ranks the top 15 vehicles by percent of owners that keep their car at least 15 years that is dominated by Toyota. More specifically, 10 of the top 15 vehicles are Toyota’s with Honda (Acura) coming in at a distant second with four vehicles and Subaru just represented with one.
What I find somewhat interesting, but not all that surprising, is that there is not one US auto manufacturer’s car, truck or SUV on the list, especially knowing that some of their vehicle and parts are sometimes manufactured and/or built in other countries. In the late ‘70s I discovered that Honda’s were semi indestructible and found the same true for Toyota's in the early ‘80s. I’m a bit baffled as to why US auto manufacturers haven’t dissected these cars (Honda's/Toyota's), maybe they did, and use the best practices learned from them. With that said, US auto manufacturers do have high sales of certain vehicles, so perhaps their business model relies more on the parts and service revenue stream, purely a guess as to why some of their vehicles are not built with higher quality and better reliability.
1. Toyota Highlander: 18.5 percent of owners keep their car at least 15 years
2. Toyota Prius: 16.2 percent
3. Toyota Sienna: 16.1 percent
4. Honda Pilot: 15.3 percent
5. Toyota Tundra: 14.1 percent
6. Toyota Sequoia: 13.5 percent
7. Toyota Tacoma: 13.4 percent
8. Honda Odyssey: 12.6 percent
9. Honda CR-V: 12.4 percent
10. Subaru Forester: 12.1 percent
11. Toyota RAV4: 12.1 percent
12. Toyota Camry: 11.5 percent
13. Acura MDX: 11.4 percent
14. Toyota 4Runner: 11.2 percent
15. Toyota Avalon: 10.8 percent
