Longest lasting vehicle

Post by DCIV »

What’s that vehicle that car makers made too well that will seriously not stop? The ones you will always see?

I think the 98 Toyota Camry.

What else?

Late 90s Honda Accord.
I think about all the things we could have done, all the miracles we could have achieved, if we were all just a little bit better than it turns out we are.

I had a 95 accord. It did blow a head gasket but it was so simple to fix. It ran from 200k to around 240k when I sold it. Also went through coils quick. So much that I just kept a spare in the car and would swap out. Probably something with my car and not common.

Honestly I had nothing go wrong with my Saturn SL2 when I owned it, except for the valve cover leaked, and I had to replace the cruise control motor by the gas pedal.

I also had nothing go wrong with my 1992 F150 with the 4.9L straight 6 and 5 speed transmission. Only thing that led to it's demise was rust, but mechanically it was fine.

93 Camry v6. I had one. Boring and handled like a 73 DeVille but reliable she was.

Decently peppy enough after I added a few degrees of timing and tightened the spring in the afm a little to lean it out.

TOKYO—Saying it was simply time for drivers to move on, Toyota Motor Corp. issued a recall of its entire 1993 Camry model line Wednesday due to the fact that its owners really should have bought something new by now. “We understand that the 1993 Camry was tremendously dependable, but, honestly, there’s just no excuse for driving a 22-year-old car at this point,” said Toyota spokesman Haruki Kinoshita, adding that, with all the advances in automotive technology that have taken place, no one really had any business driving a vehicle for more than two decades. “We’re not saying you have to buy a new 2015 Camry or splurge on a flashy new hybrid, or even that your new car has to be a Toyota at all. But the bottom line is that you need to start fresh, however you choose to do so.” While Toyota is reportedly confining its recall to the 1993 Camry, it also issued a warning to owners of 1994 to 1998 models alerting them to the fact that they were really starting to push it.
