Toyota, Lexus, and Honda Top New List of Cars Built to Outlast Their Odometers

A new study has named Toyota, Lexus, and Honda as the brands most likely to carry an owner past 250,000 miles, a threshold few vehicles ever reach. For drivers who measure a car's worth by how long it stays in the driveway rather than how quickly it turns over, that finding is a quiet vindication. It is the kind of number that rewards patience: routine maintenance, one owner, decades of the same commute. The study puts a figure on something long-time owners of these marques have simply come to expect.
