What is statistically the most reliable car ever made?

It depends on the timespan. Being reliable for 5 years and being reliable for 20 years are two completely different things.

My vote would be an American truck. These get used as fleet vehicles and rarely let the customer down considering the abuse they go through. Many many old ass farm trucks are still running reliably to this day.

That report totally isn't being funded by Toyota... What a load of shit.

Checked.
As for cars, any Olds with it's 350 motor, Crown Vic/Mercury GM/ Town Car, Camry, Corolla, Pre 2000 Honda with a manual, 300D, Peugeot 504, Ford truck with the 300 I6.

AMC 4.0L straight 6

My ex has a Pontiac Grand Prix with over 300k on it. It's no longer their daily driver, but they still have it. IIRC, it's on its second transmission.

NO WRONG TOPYOTA CORORLLA WITH 185K A MOST RELIABLE YOU ARE LIAR ONLY TOYOTA IS RELIBLE

WRONG ONLY TOYOTTA 22RE 4AC AND NEW CHAIN GUIDES IS RELIBEL AMC IS USA TRASH ONLY TOYOTA LOOK AT CHART NO AMC ONLY TOYORA

NO WAY FAG EXPLORE IS KMOST LEAST RELIBLE CELICA HAVE 192MILE AND 3 OWNDERS KELLEY BLUEBOOK IS 6 MILLION DOLLAR YOU'RE WRONG AND LIAR THE EXPLORR IS NOT IN THE CHART LIAR

Those old Volvo P1800s are pretty solid.

An F150 with the 4.9 straight six.

or a diesel w123 chassis Mercedes.

or a Lexus LS400

Cherokee stronk.

WRONG JD POWER LIST VOLVO AS LEAST REALIBLE TOYOTA AND LEXUS IS ON TOP BUG OFF LOSER STOP LYING

>yfw the car with the highest mileage ever recorded is a Volvo P1800 with over 3 million miles on it.

I LAFF YOUR RESALE VALUE HAHAAH CHEAP DODGE JUNK TOYOTA CAMRY 1993 LISTED AT 7000 DOLLAR I LOVE TOYOTA IT'S RELIABLE CHANGE ENGINE ONLY ONCE TIME!!

American truck's before the early 2000s
Lexus and Toyota before 2000
Honda before 2000
Volvo before 2000
Old Mercedes diesels

My dad owned a few 90s volvos bought with 350-550k kms and never maintained them. still drove pretty great, though the turbo 850 had some problem's time to time.

IT IS A LIE NEVER MENTIONED IN A REAL MAGAZINE JD POWER SAYS VOLVO A SHIT CRONSUME REPROT SAY VOLVE IS NOT DEPENDABLE ONLY TOYOTA YOU LIE CRAYOLA A BEST CAMRY A BEST NEVER BREAK DOWN

LIES WHY DO THEY LIE SO BAD JUST JEALOUS TOYOTA SELL ALL TEH CAR TOYOTA MAKE LOTS OF MONEY VOLVO GO BANKRUPT HAHAAHAH STUPID LOSER

Bought an beaten down ´99 EK civic around 2009, with 120k miles down. Car lasted for 3 years without a single flaw with 0 maintenance before i sold it. And i mean 0, I didn´t even fill up the washer fluid once. So 90´s honda´s are damn reliable.

>I didn´t even fill up the washer fluid once.

HOW DID YOU EVEN SEE?

Ford Escorts with the mazda engine and manual transmission.

315k I just pulled the tired old motor out, got one for $250 off craigslist, slapped it in and drove AZ->WA the next day

The only problem the whole way was the power steering belt coming off

Saturn SL or an older Toyota Tacoma

>Saturn SL
The one that burns a quart every 1k from the showrood floor?
>Tacoma, Old
The one that folds in half the minute warranty is done?

Totally.

Do you think that's a consequence of farmers/rough-types tend to know a bit more about maintaining important things compared to city normies that can't even check oil?

>Ford anything with Mazad anything
Jesus could there be a bigger clusterfuck of a car?

by cleaning my front shield at gas stations for free

Fair enough.

You could have filled the reservoir with water... also for free.

>NOT BUYING THE TOYOTA
>DOESNT KNOW TOYOTA MAKES ITS OWN WASHER FLUID
>RESALE VALUE

740/240/anything with a redblock

Nah man they were great cars. My mother had one while I was growing up that she got to 275,000 miles with the original engine and transmission. We sold it a few years back and I still miss it.

I think that's also due to the american thinking. In Germany a car with over 200k miles / 320k km is pretty hard to find because they become so cheap because of the mileage that they will be scrapped as it's easier than selling it.

What about a Mazda, marketed by Ford, and build by Kia?

I'd suggest the MK5 Toyota HiLux with the 2.4 basic 2L diesel engine

>Audi Q3 reliable
Wew
Can anyone confirm?
I was thinking about getting one in the future

...

Went to the biggest car selling website in my country, set it to only show cars with over 600kkm on the clock and all I saw was older diesel mercs and volvos

>any Olds with it's 350 motor,
Seconding this. The Rocket is a fantastic engine yet seems to be mostly ignored in favor of swapping in another fucking Chevy 350.

is America just the most harsh users of cars ?

>reliable car
>Ford

from experience i'll say Toyota Hilux, Nissan D21 with Z24i engine, and 1st gen Silverado with the 6L gas engine

when i bought my Hilux i drove it out of the bush where it say for years on old gas on 2 cylinders with a warped head and blown trans, drove my D21 out of a field where it sat 5 years after only hooking up the battery and that thing drove me in -50c, and my Silverado in its time of being an oilfield company truck and offroading has only needed a thermostat

ive got a 79 Toyota Supra in my garage that had everything factory but the battery, spark plugs, and tires until 2011 too

this desu my 5.0 exploder is at 289k atm. the 4r70w is a pretty stout tranny as well.

Try to avoid the sohc v6 weaker tans as well.

Yes because the roads are shit.

>hyper car

>I'm 12 and only know about cars from watching Top Gear

>95% of the most reliable ones are Asian makes
>95℅ of the least reliable ones are from European/American makes

Why are white people so SHIT at engineering?

I have a 1991 Nissan Pathfinder, VG30 engine, 195k on the clock, topkek

yota' t100 mine got damn near 600 thousand mile on it be cauz car jus dont wan to die

Kek

>I want attention so I ask a meaningless question that people have asked countless times

>super boring engine and drive line

>Subaru
Are you retarded or what nigga? Headgaskets get blown like Tiger Woods in a brothel. I've known people who had near new ones that just blew the gasket like it was nothing.

also T head for them cross flow gains
and make the flywheel a ducted axial flow fan

>meaningless
Sure, cracka

Second this. Own 1st gen Kia Sportage, has Mazda 2.0L FE-DOHC motor and a Ford/Getrag 5 speed. Got car at 80k, now at 160k with nothing needed but fluid changes.

...

all hail the iron duke

Clearly you're the retarded nigger. 2.2s never had the headgasket problems like the 2.5s you're thinking of. Even with a 2.5 if you use a quality uncoated MLS gaskets they will never leak again

I have a 90 Corolla with 324k miles on engine/trans/chassis and its only ever had basic maintenance done to it. Its also been abused a bit as well. Got that bitch to 100mph when it hit 300k as a "celebration"
(Almost rear ended a tractor trailer when i did it though lol)

Forgot to mention, its been run into a ditch as well

I just saw a really fat girl wearing driving gloves go bye in a clea LX 5.0 notch

I don't know why this is worth posting

>324miles is amazing
>also been abused a bit as well
>Got that bitch to 100mph
That's definitely abuse for a Crayola

Statistically? It's probably the Volkswagen Beetle and Super Beetle. Shear number made, fact that they were pretty much bomb proof, and millions are literally still on the road world wide being driven daily.

Only real competition would be the ROW Toyota trucks exported to second and third world countries

We service these at work

The Grumman LLV is the biggest piece of shit vehicle I can think of

Have a 1997 Impreza with the 2.2. Hit 280k last week.

NO WRONG LIAR ONLY TOYTOTA CAN GET 280K MILES

>Ford f150 300IL6
Bulletproof, getting ready to turn over 400k with it. Aside from oil changes, filters, the only things I have done to it is replace all the gaskets in the motor because lol 20 year old truck. It doesn't burn oil at all.

It's basically a gasoline burning diesel engine. Quite a few were converted to diesel and put in UPS trucks.

>5.4l triton V8 in a 99 expedition, 330k on the clock

>Hondas
yup, let's forget about their super-duper reliable CVTs

I had a Taurus with the 3.0 VULCAN. 350 thousand miles, no AC after 150 thousand, transmission THUNKS at 200k. The fucker just kept going.

90s Hondas, toyotas, and Nissan

I thought the 5.4ls were kinda shitty reliability wise compared to the 4.6.

LS 400 or Land Cruiser / LX

There are Cruisers from the 70's and 80's still going strong across the globe, trekking in some of the most difficult terrain on Earth

or VTEC

I've heard that too, but ours hasn't had any problems. The valves/rockers are noisy and have been for ages, but nothing hasn't happened yet.

the 3 valve triton motors suck, the older 2 valve tritons are generally more reliable.

>Nissan

newer ones with their timing chain tensioners use oil pressure to maintain tension, tend to have problems with burning oil and jumping their timing when they run low on oil.

if you have to send your car to a dealer or a manufacturer-approved mechanic, your car won't be reliable

t; they're both shit

ls400 or sc400. The 1uz doesn't die

That's brilliant. Run low on oil, timing gets retarded power reduced forces you to go to mechanic to check it all out before it blows up from neglect.

yup, they borrowed that "great" design from Renault i believe.

>Buying cvt
>Ever
Why.

The big twin cam Harley Davidson engines work like that too. Evo motors on the Sportster are the only halfway reliable engine Harley has.

I'd have to say that the GM B-Bodies (91-96 Caprice, Impala SS, Roadmaster, Custom Cruiser, Fleetwood) are up in that list. I have two of them and aside from basic stuff not much goes wrong. I've see niggas in the hood beat them to death and run them up to 300k miles and they still run well.

>90s
>90s

Ford Taurus transmissions almost constantly slip and fail all together.

so i don't know why that's above all else on this list as 'reliable'

???

Shit yeah B-bodies are niggerproof that's an amazing feat when you really think about it.

No. Trucks get the shit beaten out of them by many owners who barely maintain them and can't even spell "oil change".

I've built a few out of multiple organ donors (at used car lot and for myself) because trucks are so durable they take little to keep running. Even a wrecked truck can be easy to revive with other used parts.

Air cooled VWs were easy to overhaul, but not high mileage engines. Cheap as fuck to rebuild but that's not the same a longevity.

First gen VA Rabbit liquid cooled 4 bangers were amazing and often run over 400,000 miles. The block was trisexual (diesel, carbed, Bosch mechanical FI) and the bottom end was tough as fuck.

My 81 Scirocco was a freebie in 1994 when the FI died. I installed a Dodge Omni intake (Omnis used that engine too) with a Vega carb (no need to buy a Holley-Weber for more money when it's the same design) on a homemade plate adapter and ran it until 2004 when I sold it to my bro who still drives it daily. It had over 290K and a busted odometer when I got it You could work on them with basic tools and all the parts are cheap.

>The big twin cam Harley Davidson engines work like that too.

Maybe if you are mongoloid enough to run the engine completely out of oil, in which case you fucked up even if it was an Evo/Shovel/Pan/Knuck/Flatty. Run a plain bearing bike engine out of oil and even worse shit happens.

Run air cooled engines low on oil and pistons tend to scuff first.

BTW Evo Sporty motors are highly reliable and tolerate abuse very well. I don't care for the TCs but have over 100K of abuse on my Evo FXR on the stock bottom end. Did a top end job because light smoke on startup and I'm a mechanic so why not.

There's been a lot of stuff mentioned in here already but no one has brought up older BMWs. I'd say they're a little bit behind older gas engine Benzes (and a lot behind Benz diesels, but what isn't) and pretty close to white block Volvos. I know more E34 owners with +300K miles than others with -100K (mine is at 140K currently) and everyone knows the M30 is bulletproof. I don't trust my E34's M50 as much as I trusted my 240's red block, but I don't think I would trust any motor as much as I trust the red block bar the W123 300D's diesel.

I really do not understand how the Taurus made the list over the Crown Vic. There are a lot of other things I think should have made the list too, but that one is just like, how?
