Companies like Honda who have been known for reliable cars that last well over 150k have been going the other direction with regards to quality. A lot of their parts are made in China not to the standards they were in Japan.
- sjg007 10y agoThis will hurt them in the long run. I've bought two Toyotas but then I rented a newer one the other day and was not impressed.
- pm90 10y agoI'm curios as to how it would hurt the manufacturer. As a consumer, yes I'm not getting the amazing reliability. But if their cars don't last forever, people will buy more cars right?
- freehunter 10y agoBut if they're told their Honda will last forever and it breaks down at 90k, how likely are they to buy another Honda?
- toomuchtodo 10y agoCan you tell me why you weren't impressed? I have a 2008 Toyota Tundra with ~96k miles on it, no problems except standard maintenance schedule. I have a 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid with ~112k miles on it; again, nothing but scheduled maintenance. I did have to just replace the brakes and rotors for the first time because they rusted out due to disuse; battery regeneration is so effective they're only used in panic stops (mostly). My next vehicle is a Tesla, but I'd buy a Toyota again (used, from Carmax) if I needed a vehicle sooner.
