Opinion=What is the 'best-most reliable car in the world' Is it the Prius,or another car??

If your talking about buying a new car and driving it forever, I would suggest either a Toyota Corolla or a 4 cyl Toyota Camry.

 

My 92 Lexus LS400 is the best car EVER built. Mine still feels new and I have been told by the dealer that at 180k miles the car is still breaking in. There are a few that are near 1 million miles and one that I know of that has reached 1 million miles.

 

If that's the criteria, let's talk about Irv Gordon and his '66 Volvo with 3.2 million miles on it.

 

But how much $$ has been put into it?

 

The engine was rebuilt at 650k, but hasn't been opened since. And once he hit a million, Volvo started picking up the tab for all maintenance and repair, so it costs him nothing, and hasn't since 1987.

 

Okay, at 180k miles I have only done regular service. Everything is original.

 

And I believe that the Volvo still has its original (manual) transmission!

I do love those first gen LS400’s though. Toyota spent a ton of money and effort into that motor and they’re bulletproof.

 

Try driving one with an automatic transmission in San Francisco and get back to me.
Had 2 220-D’s myself. The stick was way better than the auto.
