There was a time when our vehicles would hit 100,000 miles on the odometer and would start falling apart. Some owners would trade in their vehicles sooner in their lifecycle – sometimes every three years. This is not the case anymore. Automobiles are now built for durability with components that can last well beyond 100,000 miles with regular maintenance. The new benchmark for vehicle longevity is now 250,000 miles.  

Autoweek compiled a list of 30 vehicles that will most likely reach the 250,000-mile mark in their lifespan. They analyzed 402 million vehicles. 

The first Honda Prelude made its debut 48 years ago. With its compact size and two-headlight front-end styling, it looked as if it could have been derived from the Civic, but in fact, the sport coupe with a notchback body style had its own platform, though its suspension, brakes, and engine were all borrowed from the Accord. In his review of the car, iconic automotive journalist Brock Yates said: "It is, by any sane measurement, a splendid automobile.”  

The model went through five generations, steadily increasing in power, performance, and sophistication...

If you’re looking for a vehicle that can drive well off the road as well as on it, the 2026 Passport gives you both the comfort and performance you expect from a Honda. From the new upright exterior design to the proven and powerful V6 engine and i-TVM4 all-wheel drive system, the 2026 Passport was created to go anywhere – including through the Sierras and across Northern Nevada. 

In joining the chorus of many automotive media outlets that have tested this rugged and gentle SUV, MotorTrend heaped a lot of praise upon the 2026 Passport. 

What makes a car brand the best? 

It takes a solid lineup of vehicles that attract consumers with exceptional engineering, a compelling design, high build quality, and a strong record of reliability. There are also a lot of intangibles – such as how you feel every time you get behind the wheel. 

At Honda, we take our passenger car lineup seriously. We are committed to delivering the best in affordable and attainable vehicles – most of which are assembled here in this country. The Civic and Accord sedans have been hallmarks of our business since 1973 in the U.S.A.  

Families have been drawn to the Honda Pilot for decades. This latest generation model certainly hits the spot, thanks to the addition of a TrailSport trim level, on top of a wide range of models that offer three rows of seats and solid V6 power. 

For 2026, the Honda Pilot receives a mid-cycle refresh, featuring a bolder face, a larger touchscreen, improved driving dynamics, enhanced noise reduction, additional safety enhancements, and new colors. All of which continue to deliver value to families on the go.  

The first thing you will notice on the 2026 Pilot is its new...
