The Subaru Forester has what many consider to be possibly the best four-wheel drive on the market. Given all the supercharged variants, this car will perform excellently for years after being purchased. If the engines undergo regular maintenance, they’ll easily be able to shoot beyond 250,000 miles.

A lot of great station wagon cars have come out of Europe, yet none of them are quite as beloved as the VW Passat. The car garnered its trusted reputation for being both reliable and beautifully functional. With time, most would suspect that the models would lose their quality, but they’ve only become better with each new edition.

While the car isn’t turning any heads based on appearance alone, it’s what’s under the hood that really counts. Some parts of the car might give an owner trouble after some time, but the engines are known to push along strongly for years upon years. There is no doubt that this car can handle an impressive hundreds of thousands of miles.

Toyota has been making vehicles since the 1930s, and have released a ton of amazing car models that have made their impact on generations. That said, one of the most respected and desired on the market is the Lexus RX350/450h. This is a car that definitely gives owners their money’s worth.

The model made its debut in the late 1990s, and became an instant success with the masses. Much of this has to do with the reliability of the car, which has a definite link to the gas and hybrid variants of the automobile. If one is looking for a vehicle that can go the distance and give you a decades worth of good driving, this should definitely be among the considerations.

4. Honda CR-V

The Honda CR-V is compact, family-friendly, and reasonably priced — and so much more. This compact car is jam-packed with handy features and an engine that’ll never let you down. The Honda CR-V was never meant to turn any heads when cruising down the boulevard. Rather, its design was meant to help it go the distance.

This was recognized quickly after its 1995 debut, as it had a 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine. These cars are promised to get an owner where they need to be and to do so for a decently long time after being purchased. This petite little vehicle shows everyone that they shouldn’t judge a book by its cover.

5. Lexus ES 350/450

While the Lexus isn’t an ugly car, the name hasn’t exactly been romanticized. It doesn’t really have any huge standout features on the surface. However, if one could see beyond that and into the car’s interior, they’d be amazed with what this vehicle can do.

Firstly, the performance isn’t something that you’d get in the latest The Fast and The Furious movie, but the mildness of the vehicle is what gives it amazing longevity. Sometimes less is more and simplicity is gold. These cars have quite a following and are beloved for their ability to go the distance with little issues during their years of use.

6. Toyota Camry

When it comes to the Toyota Camry, few things can be said that any serious car fanatic wouldn’t have already known. This car, along with a handful of other Toyota models, has become renowned on the market for being steady and reliable.

When people are looking for a vehicle that is durable and can go the distance for years before breaking down, they go for the Camry. The only big issue fans tend to see with this model is that it isn’t in any way flashy or special. You won’t find any features that are particularly unique in relation to other car brands. The point is, the car is trustworthy.

7. Toyota 4Runner

The Toyota 4Runner puts a unique spin on reliable vehicles. If you’re a parent, but also an adventurer at heart, you’re likely looking for ways to not have to compromise excitement for the sake of safety. If so, you should consider looking into getting one of these bad boys. The 4Runner has a history marked by off-road use.

Whether it is found barreling down mountain paths or over desert dunes, this vehicle delivers a wild time. That said, the 4Runner, which can take a heavy amount of abuse on a daily basis, will serve you fine as a family vehicle for years on the road as well as off. It’ll give its owner hundreds of thousands of miles worth of drives, easily surpassing most of the competition.

8. Lincoln Town Car

When it comes to the perfect mix of reliability and luxury, you should look no further than the Lincoln Town Car. First going into production in 1980, it established itself firmly at the top of the luxury car market pretty quickly. This was especially easy given how popular the Lincoln Continental had been.

It isn’t completely unique in terms of its platform, as it’s shared with the Ford Crown Victoria and a couple of other models. The cars are quite nearly one and the same, but the Lincoln Town Car is more luxurious in its packaging. Despite each new model getting amazing upgrades, one thing hasn’t changed, and that’s the car’s engine. It’s had the same engine for over three decades, and with good reason.

9. Nissan Titan XD

The Nissan Titan XD is truly a titan when it comes to raw power and longevity. This beautiful truck has an unstoppable monster under its hood and it just so happens to be called the Cummins diesel engine. If you’re a car fanatic, you know that this is an engine that’s highly associated with durability, reliability, and absolute ruggedness.

The engines are standard for the Nissan Titan and they’ll push this truck onward for years, no matter if you’re driving hundreds to thousands of miles. If you want to be assured this truck will do even more than that, select a Cummins 5.0L turbodiesel V8 engine upon purchase.

10. Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD

When it comes to American automotive companies, it’s no secret that Chevy and Ford sit on the top of the mountain of competitors. For years, the two companies have been vying for glory and tying in the automotive market. When Ford released their groundbreaking F-series, Chevy answered back with something just as epic, if not more.

Meet the Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD. This truck can take a mass amount of wear and tear, and yet despite it all manages to still move beautifully and not break down on you while on the highway. Unless you’re jumping bridges and taking barrel rolls, this truck should be able to surpass 250,000 miles with ease.

11. Honda Odyssey

When one imagines minivans, they don’t generally have in mind a car that can go the distance. However, the Honda Odyssey can easily prove everyone wrong. While nobody will exactly think that the driver is the hippest dude on the planet, a look under the hood can change all that.

The engine sported by a Honda Odyssey is decently resilient. While some engines will begin to show some signs of needing a tune-up after a few years, the minivan will run like new. It’s not only the engine that can hold its weight, but also the transmission and other mechanics. If you have a big family and need something that can serve them well for a decade, this is the vehicle to get.

12. Acura RDX

When the Acura RDX hit the production line in 2006, it didn’t disappoint. The crossover SUV became an immediate hit on the market and has been upgraded consistently throughout the years. Today, the car is known as one of the most dependable crossover SUVs out there.

Under the hood is a 3.5L V6 with 279 horsepower. One might picture the car being hard to control with that much power in the engine, but it actually moves quite smoothly. The car can easily surpass 250,000 miles, and that can be attributed to the RDX, which is equipped with a 6-speed automatic transmission.

13. Chevrolet Impala

Maybe you drove an Impala back when it was fresh on the market and Elvis was the biggest thing on the radio, or maybe you just heard about it by way of some old rap songs. Regardless, people aren’t singing this car’s praises just because it looks especially cool and sleek cruising down the boulevard.

The Chevrolet Impala stands as one of the most dependable vehicles in North America. 120,000 miles shouldn’t ever be a problem for this car, provided that it isn’t driven too recklessly. Most Impalas have a ECOTEC 2.5L DOHC 4-cylinder engine, and that’ll pretty much hold the car over for a good while.

14. Toyota Corolla

When the Toyota company came to America, they brought with them automobiles unlike anything we had in America. A retro and modern favorite has always been the Toyota Corolla. Looking back at its popularity during the 1980s and early 1990s, the Corolla has a reputation for being one of the most reliable cars on the planet.

Not only do they look streamlined and last long, but they can easily take you 250,000 miles within their long lifespan. Everything comes down to the car’s well-crafted engine. It doesn’t matter if it’s the American, European, or Japanese version of the car, the Toyota Corolla can go the distance.

15. Honda Pilot

Everyone loves to show off a flashy SUV. There are a ton of these beauties on the market today. However, these cars do not have the reputation of being reliable. But there’s always exceptions to that rule, and the Honda Pilot definitely shouldn’t be grouped up with those other SUVs. This one is on the special side.

While the Honda Pilot doesn’t look like the coolest car on the block, it garnered some very well-deserved positive attention when it first entered the market back in 2002. People were pleased with the impressive amount of mileage this car could consume. While the latest edition of the SUV claimed it would be able to do all that and more, we’ll just have to wait and see.

16. Audi Allroad

First stepping off the production line and onto the scene in 1999, the Audi Allroad quickly skyrocketed into popularity as one of the biggest releases to end the 20th century. When it comes to crossover SUVs, it can possibly only be matched by the very reliable VW Passat.

In order to really get the most out of this vehicle, you have to make sure to take it in for regular maintenance checks. If you do that, it should be able to live up to some very high mileage standards. Of course, this is nothing new, as it applies to almost every car on the lot.

17. Scion xB

Upon first glance at a Scion xB, one is either going to think they’re the cutest thing in the world, or they will instantly want to get this little peculiarly-shaped car out of their sights. If you’re jazzed about the idea of riding inside your very own Lego, you just might be ready for your very own Scion.

If you’re uninterested in how odd it might look, and you just want a car that’ll take you where you need to go for years to come, the Scion might be just what you’re looking for. These cars have proven time and time again that they are extremely reliable. You’ll see remarkably few unsatisfied customers when looking up reviews for this model.

18. Nissan Patrol

nissanpatrol_y60_y61_thekings/Instagram

While some might just say that the Nissan Patrol is yet another drab SUV, this vehicle is actually quite the monster under its shell exterior. It’s capable of handling itself with ease when it comes to off-road driving and can appear to be almost indestructible while on the road.

While it can be used in pretty much any setting, the Nissan Patrol is not your basic SUV. This vehicle was never meant for shopping trips to your local Albertsons or picking up the kids from school. This bad boy was meant for ragged and unforgiving landscapes. That said, this vehicle can easily give its own more than 250,000 miles in a lifespan.

19. GMC Sierra 2500HD

kissymireles/Instagram

The GMC Sierra 2500HD is one beast of a truck. If you need to tow a U-Haul or transport some heavy duty material in the truck bed, this vehicle will do it with ease. While it might be a bit excessive for city life, this great ride will be a lifesaver for people living in more rural areas.

Not only is this truck excellent at handling heavy loads, but it offers any of its buyers a great shelf life. Most of that has to do with how well it is constructed and the power of the engine. Whether you use this truck for work or just everyday use, it’ll surely take you up and beyond 250,000 miles.

21. Toyota Tacoma

taco_bout_adventure/Instagram

The Toyota Tacoma is the perfect example of how everything that glitters isn’t gold. On paper, the truck looks like an unstoppable monster that’ll easily tear its way on down any rugged road. While it does thrive in an off-road environment, car enthusiasts say the vehicle has a lackluster interior and is rather basic in terms of fuel economy.

Despite all this, the Toyota Tacoma is handsome and possesses a 2.7-liter four cylinder engine. The first generation of this truck blew drivers away back in the 1990s with how different it looked. Over 25 years later, the third edition is doing quite the same for a whole new generation of drivers.

22. Ford F-250 Super Duty

Staying on the theme of heavy duty trucks, the Ford F-250 Super Duty is truly a master when it comes to towing, carrying, or even pushing heavy objects. Every inch of this vehicle was made in order to accomplish heavy-duty labor with ease.

Its impressive performance wouldn’t be possible without an engine that goes above and beyond. When constructing this beast, engineers knew that a good engine was a must, as it was made to climb to a high mileage. There is no doubt that this mega truck will be able to reach 250,000 miles during its time on the road.

23. Toyota Sequoia

The successful Toyota Sequoia is much like all the other Toyotas of a similar ilk, which goes to show the power of the brand. It’s handsome, notably reliable, and rugged to the bone. What makes this SUV something truly special is its engine, which has a 6-speed automatic transmission.

With that engine, this car can survive and thrive amid some very extreme road conditions. Given how it was built, this SUV will have no issues surpassing the 250,000-mile mark. It should be noted that the only downside to this vehicle is that its fuel consumption isn’t especially great. However, given the size of the SUV, what more can you ask for?

24. Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD

When it comes to the heavy-duty truck market, few trucks can match the popularity and the reputation of the Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD, the truck that commands respect. One of the major upsides of this amazing behemoth is that under its hood it has a Duramax® 6.6L Turbo-Diesel V8.

With an engine like that as its beating heart, this vehicle can take a world of abuse and ragged road conditions and still drive more than 250,000 miles. Even the most standard Chevrolet Silverados are equipped with a Vortec® 6.0L petrol V8. So what does that all translate into? The undeniable fact that this truck can cover thousands of miles with ease.

25. Honda Civic

When it comes to being reliable, one can’t forget to mention the trust Honda Civic. This little car isn’t turning any heads or getting much praise by way of celebrities, but nonetheless, it’s known for being especially resilient. The compact car is also very fuel-efficient, which means a full tank of a gas will last a good amount of time.

Much like the Toyota Corolla, the Honda Civic has always been viewed as a car with very few thrills. You aren’t going to jump any bridges or go street racing in this little car, but it will grant you years of good driving and push 250,000 miles. That said, if you’re looking for a car you can trust, the Honda Civic is the way to go.
