      Just ordered the Subaru Crosstrek Premium with the six-speed.
      I have had great luck with Nissan Frontiers and the earlier generation trucks, but they are no longer available with manual shift.
      No clutch, no sale.

      I haven’t purchased an American made car since my first Toyota Corolla in 2002 when my Jeep Grand Cherokee was stolen. Best thing that ever happened to me! Now it’s only Toyota, Honda, and Mazda for me. I never have to suffer through breakdowns nor multiple recalls with any of those brands. I wish I could buy American, but they haven’t yet matched (even close) the reliability of those brands.

      Maam I think the fact people are only looking for 100k miles out of vehicles at the price we pay is pretty damn crazy. We should be expecting 200k-300k miles! I definitely suggest keeping a Honda or Toyota in the stable as well.

      @@gameklipz3553 I couldn’t agree more!! It’s a very low bar some set by expecting only 100K miles out of costing 50-80K…ridiculous. I had my 2001 Grand Cherokee Limited 4x4 stolen in 2002. Best thing that ever happened to me carwise! It was my LAST American made vehicle and the first time I bought a Japanese car. It was a 2003 Toyota Corolla. I have never looked back! I’ve had Toyotas, Hondas, and now Mazdas…loved ALL of them and as an over the road manufacturers rep I easily put 200K plus miles on all of them before trading. NEVER had a mechanical failure leave me stranded in any of these vehicles (batteries and flat tires excluded). Will never (sadly) consider an American made vehicle because I just can’t justify abandoning what keeps me on the road: Mazda..Toyota..Honda. I rely on these vehicles to earn my money at work and I can rely on them.

    I have a 26 year old 4Runner that still looks and runs like new. No leaks, doesn't burn any oil and only had one actal repair. The fuel pump started flaking out 2 or 3 years ago. The rest was all the normal preventative maintenance like a timing belt and brakes. I wouldn't think twice about driving this car across the country. It's just that reliable.

    My 2015 Subaru Outback, just rolled 152,000 miles on the odometer. Other than regular maintenance, like oil changes, tune ups, brakes, tires, serpentine belt, and batteries ... She only needed one repair. At 120,000 the rear passenger wheel bearing started making a whining noise, and needed to be replaced.
    This is the best car I have ever owned. She is built solid, and still runs like she is new!
    I have driven all of my past cars the same, most American built, and they all had issues before 100,000. Some it was the A/C, things like rack and pinion, electric windows malfunctioning, replacing alternators and water pumps before 100,000.

Had to bypass kit the emissions starting pump and new straps for the fuel tank. Fairly normal maintenance for its age. It's as tough as a suv can be. I live in Wisconsin it's driven daily in over 100° temps in summer and in winter where I live i get 3ft of snow and -35° below zero. It always starts.

      Honda Pilot? Didn't start in 2003. Friends had them, with blown engines, under 100k miles, years before that. Honda didn't have a suitable engine, so installed Isuzu V6 engines. Which were good, except for the oil pickup that sucks oil from the bottom of the oil pan. They'd drop out, the engine would be starved of oil, and seized in seconds.
      In the early 2000s, the Pilot was known as one of the least reliable cars in America. Not just embarrassing for Honda, who are known for excellent engines, but especially painful because the failures weren't their fault!
      Fortunately for my buddy in Redmond WA, after launching a law suit at both his dealer and Honda America, he got the engine replaced at no cost. But it was a painful route to getting resolution.

    My first Toyota, a RAV4 was a workhorse! She never had any major issues, just routine regular maintenance. At over 360,000 miles, I gave her to my daughter who traded her in on a new 2019 Toyota Corolla which is still going strong. I bought a new Forerunner in 2012 and she now has close to 200,000 miles. Same thing-no major issues, just routine maintenance. We are a loyal Toyota family!

    My 2014 Honda Pilot just hit 200k. I got all the fluids replaced, got the transmission serviced. No major issues other than having to replace a sway bar, a collapsed engine mount and a missing bolt on the engine. Great build, great ride. Very quiet. Incredibly reliable. Current issues I have are that the rear shocks are getting a bit old and there is a very slow fluid leak around the front right axle.

    Remember: car companies often have several brands they place the same engine, transmission, and accessories onto mechanically. For example, the Honda pilot and Acura MDX models use the same Honda V6 VTEC engine and transmission with very little difference in accessories under the hood. My 2003 Acura MDX had nearly 200000 miles on it when I bought it, and I've put on it 60000 miles in two years including multistate road trips and a cross country move from the upper Midwest to the gulf coast and the Rockies, loaded to the brim, and a drive from Florida to Texas and back without issue. You can find out easily which different brands will use the same mechanical systems and if one vehicle is reliable, it's likely the luxury or consumer version of that company's Powerpack with be similarly reliable.

The couple of dealers I have encountered helping a work friend who has a Tucson were simply unscrupulous. They tried to charge her $3k for rusting engine rails. I argued there was supposed to be a warranty on a 3 year old car. I did a quick internet search and found there was a TSB on it and it should be fixed free. One conversation (threatening them) and they fixed it free but it soured me on that dealer. She also was totally pissed off and tells everyone and anyone that they tried to screw her. She is a single mom and pretty much lived check to check. I only got involved because I heard her crying and talking on the phone about the car and I had seen it and thought it was pretty new....sure enough 3 years old. She was a very nice lady but admitted she knew nothing about cars. I tried to teach her basics about oil changes, checking fluids and tires but she was afraid of all the mechanical stuff. I told her to sell it and buy a used Honda, Toyota or Mazda.
