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. 

Being seasonally prepared when caring for your car means you’re ready for anything. Both winter and summer are the two most strenuous seasons for vehicles because they can present the most significant obstacles. When the weather turns freezing, there are specific steps you need to take to maintain your Honda and ensure its reliability and your safety.  

Make Sure Your Battery’s in Good Health 

First things first, go to Michael Hohl Honda and have your battery tested. This is a simple process that a tech can complete in mere minutes. 

Winter in Northern Nevada is unlike any other winter. One day, you’re driving on dry pavement in Reno, and the next, you’re navigating icy switchbacks on Mt. Rose Highway or creeping through heavy snow on Spooner Summit. For drivers in the Tahoe Basin and surrounding areas, winter tire care is more survival than maintenance. 

Keeping your tires in top condition during the colder months helps you maintain traction, shorten stopping distances, and stay in control when the weather turns unpredictable.
