The most reliable car I have ever owned was my.......

[Car guy]

My choice will make you laugh.......2012 Fiat 500. Paid 12K and am approaching 200,000 miles and it runs like new. My 1989 Mazda 323 a close second. Paid $5,000 brand new. Other than maintenance not a single issue. How about you?

1996 Lexus ES300 (Camry)

2006 Honda Accord LX 2.4 5 speed auto.

 

[Lyman]

1990 Ford Ranger 2.9 5spd. Bought it with 50k sold it with 350k. Very little ever went wrong with that truck.

2000 Ford Taurus.
The only time this car ever saw a tow truck was when the fuel pump died at 275K.

 

[JeffKeryk]

'64 Bug. Or was it a '65?
The Lexus GS is amazing.
My '73 Firebird with the '69 400 was a great car.

I hope I haven't owned it yet.

That’s a hard choice between my 1994 Ford Econoline E-150 it and my 1989 Mazda B2200 both have been great the whole time I have owned them haven’t had to do any major repairs to either one and they are both very comfortable. Much more reliable than anything made today.

My experience has been just opposite lol I have a 2001 Jeep Cherokee that the engine got hot after it turned off it ended up warping the block is what a Chrysler specialist told me we thought it was a head gasket but we were wrong.

My 2007 Honda Accord V6 6MT (once the defective brand new manual transmission was replaced). Since then, in 14 years I've had to replace 2 bulbs and a seized brake caliper (which was probably my fault).

A close second would be my 2000 Solara V6 5MT. I never had to fix anything on it, but I only had it for 7 years as my daughter needed a car.

I've never had a bad car, everything I have ever owned has been reliable. Mostly GM/Chrysler but a few others sprinkled in over the years. A Ford, a Mercedes and a couple VWs.

My Camry has been pretty rock solid, the repairs I’ve done are to be expected for old age/high mileage. So far the intake boot from the air filter cracked from heat, the fuel pump housing plastic on top cracked, and 2 CV boots too. 241k miles, runs and drives really good!

Another good competitor was my 15’ Hyundai Sonata I traded in last December at 108k miles. 1 CV boot had started to slightly sling grease, was a cheap repair.

Today if properly maintained most cars are reliable.

 

[csandste]

Everyone hates HyunKias but I've had five of 'em with no real problems. Can't say that for any other brand.

 

[Saabist]

Probably the 1966 Ford Fairlane I had in college - 289 V8, 3-on-the-tree, manual steering and brakes. That thing took a licking and kept on ticking.

1994 Toyota Tercel probably, only ever put a battery in other than basic maintenance. We’re at 250,000 miles now and needing some suspension work. Still getting 39-42mpg on regular pump gas. I’ve run 7500 miles on Schaeffer 5w40 and the oil samples were great. Also my 2003 Ranger with a 3.0 and 5sp has been great. Bought it from Coke for $500 and I’ve put loads of miles on it. It’s my trip vehicle now.
