5 UNSTOPPABLE Cars With Engines That Won't DIE

25 years in the business 44 years old and this is truth! LS and pre 2015 Toyota just from what I have seen. Nothing ford or dodge I would ever recommend.

Honorable mention to the GM/Buick 3800. I had a Grand Prix GTP with a pulley swap that just wouldn't die and Mom's '05 Buick still eats the miles reliably.

You made us chuckle when you pointed at the Range Rover. Well played!

I have a 2013 Accord with the four cylinder. It has 175,000 miles on it and my repair history is a $100 a/c repair. Still has the original belts, hoses , etc. and all I’ve done is tires, brakes, and 5000 mile oil changes. Crazy good car.

I have two of those Toyota 3.5 V6 engines in my driveway. 2008 Highlander Sport AWD with 253,000 miles on it. This has the 2GR-FE V6, making 270 HP. Was my wife's first SUV, and it's been a workhorse ever since. I called it our "Urban Assault Vehicle" as it was always up for anything once I replaced the original Bridgestone Dueller tires which were terrible in snow. After installing wider V-rated rubber, the thing was basically a stable rocket and highway cruiser. Our two sons used it in high school and college hauling their football and lacrosse mates around. Now that they're graduated, however, working and driving their own vehicles, the 'Lander sits there waiting for its next family duty. That engine is the one that had external oil hoses which fed the VVTi system. They were made of the wrong formulation of rubber and were prone to failure. That happened to my wife, which let oil spray all over the underside of the car. We paid over $600 for towing and repair, but we eventually we got reimbursed when Toyota smartened up and set up a recall. I cursed Toyota for years over that design flaw. The other vehicle in my driveway is my 2015 GS 350 F-Sport AWD. I bought it gently used as someone else's "Winter Car" in Florida. It was garaged and pampered with only 6K miles/year on it at 4 years old. I was thrilled! I will say, however, while the 3.5 2GR FSE engine in the GS is an incredible powerplant, it has an issue with a pinion gear on the timing chain system. It makes a winding noise that is engine RPM specific. It's been there the whole time. I complained about it often and eventually Lexus provided warranty coverage to attempt a repair. First, they replaced the timing chain tensioner, which was easy enough as there is an access cover on the easily accessible front end of the engine. That changed nothing. Next, they pulled apart the front of the car and tore down the front of the engine to replace the timing chain pinion gear. A tiny $20 gear with a rubber dynamic damper material embedded on the outer ring. Huge job paid for by Lexus, and the noise returned within months. It's slowly gotten worse over the years, and is now so bad I hear from within the vehicle as I'm driving. Makes the car sound cheap and old, and gives me a little anxiety about the potential for something catastrophic happening some day when I'm hauling ass getting onto a highway from an on ramp. I now have 99,900 miles on it. I wonder if I'm going to get the fabled 3/ 4/ 500,000 miles everyone always talks about with Lexus products.

The 2.5 liter Toyota engine in the Camry which they have been using for decades is also great.

LC 500 is such a great car.

Just literally bought that IS350 a few days ago.

yeah i left when he said a modern BMW
