In order to keep your car as long as possible, it is better to choose the right model. To make the best choice, mechanics reveal vehicles which, for them, are the strongest.
A car is expensive, even if you buy it used. Then, it is necessary to assume the price of the maintenance, which can quickly increase in the event of a problem. For the sake of economy, therefore, but also of ecology, nobody wants to have to change car regularly or to have to go often to the garage. And for that, you shouldn’t be mistaken when choosing your vehicle!
It is for people looking for quality, reliability and sustainability that the creator of Spanish automotive content Julián Cruz asked mechanics to tell him what is the most robust vehicle. The latter replied that the old models are more resistant than recents, especially due to a simple mechanics and a reduced presence of electronics. “These cars are reliable and durable in my opinion”says one of them.
Regarding manufacturers, several German brands are cited, such as Audi. A person indicates that “Volkswagen is the best that exists”. But Japanese manufacturers are also highlighted, namely Toyota and Honda. The two Japanese brands make cars “designed to last”, explains one of them. Regarding Toyota models, a mechanic goes so far as to say: “This thing will not break even if you try”. When it comes to appointing specific models, Julián Cruz quotes the old Honda Civic, a model that has existed since the 1970s. According to its interlocutors, this is an example in terms of sustainability, which resists a demanding use and conditions. “Even if you do not change the oil for 30,000 km, nothing will happen to him,” says a mechanic.
When you choose a vehicle, it is better not to rely on the speech of the salesperson. We can also look for opinions on the Internet, or ask independent mechanics what they think of the model that we plan to buy, a bit like this content creator did. This can make it possible to ensure its sustainability, and to get an idea of the maintenance cost (with annual revisions for example), which can be very different depending on the brands. This can avoid unpleasant surprises!
