Selecting a Potential "Forever" Vehicle

[lazarus55]

If you’re going to make it a forever car you might as well shell out for the Lexus! It will be worth it

This is the reason I bought a new Tacoma. No auto start/stop or cylinder deactivation b.s., hopefully long term reliability, easy for me to get in and out, and I just really like it.

I hope it works for you but I doubt a turbocharged dynamic force engine and that little Aisin 8 speed is a forever platform. I own the naturally aspirated version and I doubt it lasts forever there either.

I do like the new Taco however.

I have been thinking about my next and ideally last vehicle.

My goals are longevity, ease/cost of repair, I do not want cylinder deactivation, comfort(soft ride and ease of entry), and utility (cargo space/seating capacity). I have always purchased used and l would plan to in this case as well. Purchase price and value is a big consideration.

My current list is:
Sienna
2012 or older Pathfinder
Nissan Armada
Sequoia
GX460

Are their any other vehicles that should be considered? I have only driven a Sienna so maybe the others do not fit my criteria.

Please share your thoughts

The previous generation Infiniti Q56 or Nissan Armada. V8 Nissan Titan. Toyota Camry, or Lexus ES300. Not all turbocharged engines are necessarily bad/unreliable.

Assuming that all you care about is the comfort and durability, and not purchase price or mpg.

I'd say a Lexus with inline 6 RWD. If you can still find them the older IS300 or SC300 in the late 90s early 2000s. None of the newer stuff, no none of the pickup truck or SUVs, just sedans.
