I had a mid 90’s accord 5 speed that I absolutely thrashed every day of its life, it ran perfect the day it was sold with over 365,000 miles and still had the original clutch. It had about 50 thousand miles on it when I bought it and just did normal stuff like timing belt, brakes, cv joints, a radiator at some point, etc.

1990 Honda Civic hatchback.

Great car. Got 50 mpg on interstate (had a manual transmission). Had some pep in that little 4 banger.

Oil changes, gas and tires for 107k miles.

A/C cramped out and it would have cost over 1/2 the car's value to replace because CFCs had been phased out (frick you Al Gore).

Traded it in on a new car for the wife in 97. Saw it on the road 10 years later.

2003 Silverado. I putt 240 trouble free miles on it. Now my son drives it and it has 290.

All it has needed is a rack, gauge package and fuel sensor replacement in 15 years.

I had a 94 Explorer with 250k on it, not ONE mechanical issue. It was passed down from my dad, to brother, and then to me with 130k on it. I promptly put a 2.5 inch suspension lift and mud tires on it and DAMN did it look good. It ran well until the day I sold it for another extremely reliable and good looking car I had, a Volvo S60R.

I still like those old boxy Explorers to this day, especially lifted.

91 Nissan 240SX. Had about 300k on it when I finally parked it. Ran like a top still, but the interior had gone to shite. I bought a 93 and used the 91 for parts. The 91 never gave me a bit of trouble in the 200k miles I put on it.

Chevy Silverado. 250,000 miles before I sold it.

Never gave any trouble except for the time that there was more water in the gas tank than gasoline. Thanks Circle K!

Put the truck through absolute hell and it was still running strong at 230k miles when I traded it in.

2007 Silverado
2013 Accord

Traded the Accord this year for a Volvo SUV. Loved the Honda, but it was useless in the winter. We never had any problems with it other than bad winter traction.

The Silverado was probably the best vehicle I’ve ever owned so far. I put way more miles on it than on the Honda. It towed any trailer with ease.

We have an Outback now. It’s never broken, but it burns a lot of oil. I wish it had about 30 more horsepower.

My 2002 4Runner....wonderful vehicle. Bought it brand new and it's never given me one single problem. Almost identical to this one.
