Poll of the Day > How many years old is your car?

(+) Yeah! (+)

do you consider it reliable?

It's 1 year old. It freaks me out sometimes because it has a "smart" feature where it beeps and flashes orange when it thinks you're drifting out of lane, but it happens at the same place every day during my commute.

My husband and I share a single car and it's 3 years old

2014 Dodge Ram 1500. It runs just fine. Don't jinx this, TC, I swear to god.

2018 Ford fusion

---

14, the starter died two months ago but other than that it's been reliable

2018 Ford fusion

i heard they don't make the fusion anymore, you know if true?

One car is 20 this year. The other is 17. My wife's car is 5 years old.

The 2001 car only has 106K miles on it though.

2020 was the last year.

It's a 2010. It's showing its age. In particular, it stopped running altogether a few months back, which turned out to be widespread corrosion in the battery junction box, but all they could do was clean it out because that part is now obsolete (which is hardly reasonable for a 10-year-old car) and that meant replacing it was impossible.

Personally, I think manufacturers should be required to make schematics for obsolete parts public domain. But hey, what do I know?

My parents bought my car new in 2002 so it's essentially been a single owner, I took it over in 2007. Still reliable and runs great, but I think that's expected with most Honda's if you treat them well.

Haven't had a single issue with it and no expected issues coming up. Probably will drive this until one part eventually fails which'll end up being worth more than the car.

---

Almost 6 years old. And it's been good to me so far. Hopefully it stays that way for a while... Because I don't want to buy another vehicle...

I think I'd be dying. Haha...

It is about six months old. As for if it is reliable? It takes a while for the gears to shift and for some reason, I always here crackling noise in the back whenever I drive. I took it to my motor-dealer a month or so ago, to have it checked out. But they insisted that it was not anything I needed to worry about; they certified that it was in factory-working condition and what-not. Sometimes, though, I sort of know that it is just the sound of miniscule debris colliding with my car, like bugs and leaves. But still, that noise that sounds like it is coming from the back of the car bugs me. It is like a cross between the sound of a bunch of miniscule rocks rattling around and static electricity. It never ceases to give me anxiety; I fear that it happens in an essential component of the car. Like, I've searched it up once or twice; Google returned results that have suggested that it's got something to do with a faulty fuel injection system my car has. I'm always worried something's going to happen to my twenty-thousand-American-dollar investment one day. The maintenance lot at the dealer said it was alright, but I worry still. Anyway, while this one facet of the car causes me stress, the car itself runs mostly well.

1 y/o

no issues so far

18 year old Chevy S-10. The check engine light has been on for at least two years, but its nothing fatal. It was off last Tuesday but forgot to see if it turned on again. The air conditioner is awesome and the heater is great too. Needs a bath due to being under a tree loaded with pollen, but still runs like a pro.

---

2001 Honda Accord. Bought it six years ago from a professional mechanic whose side gig is buying older cars, reconditioning them, then selling them. I mean, he repaired or replaced everything you can think of.

---

2020 Nissan Altima

---

4 year old GMC Sierra 1500 is pretty reliable. As always in Michigan, rust will be the biggest problem for me eventually.

2009 VW GTI

This Saturday will mark 11 years since I bought it new. Still runs like a champ

---

2010 Taurus SHO. Catalytic converter went out early on when still under warranty, and a fuel injector failed a couple years back, but otherwise has been reliable.

---

2010 Nissan Altima. Runs fine, although I've put a few large dings on her from crashing into things (not other cars)

---

2018 Camry replaced my 2003 Camry

9 years old. its starting to leak a little oil and coolant. il probably see if the shop can fix it next week or two otherwise I'll ride this out for 6 months then buy a new car

2013 Jeep SRT, so far so good

---

7 years old (almost 8). I bought it new and only have about 60K miles on it so it essentially runs just like the day I drove it off the lot. Only thing I have had done to it are manufacturer recalls, oil and filter changes, and replaced the tires a couple years ago. Given how little I drive, I anticipate using it for at least another 5-10 years, maybe more if I don't get bored of it by then.

---

13-14 years old? Very reliable.

2013 Ford Fusion with the 2.5L engine and janky 6F35 (6-speed automatic) transmission. Still paying it off. Bought it in December 2017.

2008 honda CR-V

---

Do I have the oldest car here that is driven regularly? A 1995 Chevy Caprice coming up on 160,000 miles.



---

25 year old GMC Sierra, I wouldn't hesitate to drive it cross country right now

---

Rookie numbers. I have that on my 01 impala

---

I drive a 2008 subaru tribeca.

It drives well, though has its share of issues such as a bad oil leak. It also need some general maintenance like the swaybars are bad and the break rotors are warped. Oh the cruise control stopped working on it years ago too.

---

About 10 years now, and yes.

I bought it new and maintain it well.
---

10 years and still feels reliable enough to last a couple more years.

---

She's 9 and she's starting to get a little arthritis in her right hip.

---

The last car I had was ten years old, and on its second engine, when the transmission collapsed in the middle of the freeway. I have been car free for nine years now, and am happier in almost every way save for the loss of conveniences of transporting large items across any distance.

---

My wife and I both have 2015 cars that we bought new back in 2014

hers is a titanium nissan versa coupe
