    The sad part is the last of the reliable Hondas and Toyotas are getting quite old at this point, so the only "older" cars we'll have to choose from soon will be the current batch of unreliable vehicles. That will be scary.

    270k on our 4.0 liter in our 2008 4Runner and still runs perfectly and burns no oil.

    The sweet spot for reliability is 96 thru 08. All brands

    Too bad about the newer Toyotas. I still have the 1993 Toyota pickup I bought new.
