I typically buy a new or newer car when my current one reaches around 110k miles. I don't like cars that are too old.

The key to any vehicle making it to 300,000 miles is maintenance, not the freaking makers company logo on the hood. Don't change the fluids in any of the foreign makers and they won't make it to 200,000 miles. CR is a total waste of time and money.
Boy, you sound angry!

Sold my 96 Corolla DX 1.8 with 221,000 about 8 months ago. Don't know if my current car, 03 Camry will go that far doesn't feel like it's built as good as my Corolla, both are US made.

There is a thread here talking about the durability of the 93-96 Corollas.

My Dad put 225K on a '66 Chevelle that still ran pretty well when he parted with it. Still had the original starter at that point and the Powerglide transmission had never been apart.

I had a '92 Lexus LS400 still running string at 205K when I sold it.

Makes sense that Lexus was Japanese built.

But he is right. The key to vehicle longevity is maintenance.

I have a 2012 Toyota Sequoia with 145,000 miles on it. All freeway miles so I hope it lasts forever. I really do not want another car payment.

Really though, I’m not sure the Accord should be on that list, since the turbo engine is new and unproven.
Huh: Toyota, Honda, Toyota, Honda, Toyota, Honda, Toyota, Toyota, Toyota, Ford F-150. In order, all ten.

Whouda thunkit?? Crickey, how many times does it need be said, or written, in the likes of Consumer Reports, dozens of forums including this one...other than some doofus arriving bad-mouthing Toyota or Tacomas in general with lies and exactly (one) entirely subjective BS opinion. Large volumes of data don't lie, people: that's what built 'Vegas. Macrotrends and data FTW.

If my Tacoma X-Runner suffers an untimely fate, likely only due to chance (115K or so miles, not a thing wrong with it), I'd definitely consider an F150 if I needed a bigger truck. Interesting they said a diesel is coming out; will be curious if that's for economy or pulling.

Cars and trucks with over 1 MILLION miles on the clock and still going. And guess what? Not a Toyota in the bunch. So much for the dumbasses at CR having any credibility at all.

AND, you can add an E350 Ford van with a 5.4 engine

My 1978 Dodge (Mitsubishi) Colt had no trouble making 235K, never repaired anything except one timing belt. Bought it new for $4,000.
