5 Cars That Will Last More Than 250,000 Miles

[Dani ♡]

 

Reliability has always been one of the main factors when it came to buying a car. Even though the modern consumer mindset dictates changing what you drive every two or three years, there are still a number of people who look at their cars as investments that need to last way more than that. Finding a car that will keep going after it hits the 250,000 miles marker is not too common, but it’s definitely not that hard either. There are still a number of models across different market categories, that still deliver this kind of longevity to their owners. Here are 30 new and classic cars that will definitely last more than 250,000 miles.

 

1.Dodge Ram Cummins

When Dodge and Cummins figured out that working together could benefit both parties, they’ve created a truck that quickly became a top seller. Cummins engines found in recent models of Dodge Ram come in two flavors. The 5.9 liter turbocharged inline 6, and its 6.7 liter newer version. Both of these engines deliver some serious performance, with excessive amounts of torque and very decent peak horsepower. Aside from their raw power, these engines are also incredibly reliable.

2.Lexus ES 350/450 

While you may consider this Lexus to be boring with its average design and rather mild performance, ES 350/450 compensates with its longevity. These cars are simply well built, and a great testament to that fact is the large number of happy owners whose cars are still serving them well after 200,000 miles on the clock.

3.Subaru Forester 

Ever since Subaru came out with the first Forester model, this car became a hit. Not only does it come with a great palette of engines, it also sports what is considered to be the best 4WD system available today. While the turbocharged variants are great, the naturally aspirated engines are known to reach beyond 250,000 miles with regular maintenance.

4.VW Passat 

Europe’s favorite station wagon earned its po[CENSORED]rity both through its functionality, and reliability. This applies to most generations of VW Passat, including the latest one. Their diesel engines are known to outlast everything else on the car, while the more recent 1.8 Turbo engine has proven to be almost as durable.

5.Lexus RX350/450h 

RX350/450h is another Lexus that will go the extra mile. Both the gas and hybrid variants of this car have earned a reputation for being reliable. As a matter of fact, it is considered to be among the most reliable cars in its class, which definitely expanded its customer base.
