13 Japanese SUVs That’ll Last You a Lifetime

If there’s one thing that Japanese automakers like Toyota, Subaru, and Honda are known for, it’s their bulletproof reliability. This reputation was largely earned by small cars like the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, but their SUVs have also lived up to the high reliability standards gearheads have come to expect from Japanese cars. SUVs are currently the best-selling vehicles in the country, and it’s easy to see why. Few vehicles can match the versatility SUVs offer — they’re good-looking (well, some of them), spacious enough for the whole family, capable of driving through tough terrains and weather conditions, and can be fast if you opt for their performance versions. However, all these qualities are useless if the SUV keeps breaking down on you, which is why it’s important to prioritize reliability. Using reliable resources like J.D. Power, RepairPal, and CarEdge, we scoured the market and found some of the most reliable Japanese SUVs you can buy today, including new and used options.

A Sheltered Life In Upstate New York Turned This 1967 Buick Electra 225 Into A Time Capsule

In hindsight, witnessing the replacement of long-heralded model names during the late Fifties shouldn’t have come as a surprise to the public. A case study is Buick. While Special, Super, Century, Roadmaster, and Limited spoke volumes about each model’s purpose and division hierarchy, those names–which began appearing in 1935–had inevitably lost some punch. Like it… The post A Sheltered Life In Upstate New York Turned This 1967 Buick Electra 225...

Detroit’s ground-pounders, born in a turbulent and distant decade, were all about the small-d democratization of power—the cheaper the better.

13 Best New SUVs Worth Their Price Tag

We all love the freedom of choice, but we must be careful what we wish for. It’s harder than ever to choose in a sea of alternatives — no matter the segment, class, or power system. Thanks to the unnervingly close competition among automakers, consumers are permitted to be picky. Ironically, it’s also tougher to make that choice as manufacturers strive to outdo each other’s features and offerings. Just about every SUV boasts similar features, making identifying the best a headache for the average shopper looking to get the most bang for their buck. At some point, the criterion moves from SUVs that offer the most features to those that deserve your money better than the others. Although the competition makes it easy to find a good SUV but hard to decide which one, we’ve combed numerous reviews and user feedback to determine the best new SUVs worth the money.
