subject: The Most Durable Cars Ever Built [print this page] When buying your new car, you'll want to make sure it's a model that will last, as well as provide the greatest safety for you and your passengers. While many cars promise superior performance when getting from A to B, some can be let down on longer journeys by transmission failures and other issues - so it's important to shop around and seek advice when deciding which model to choose for your next car.
Fortunately, anyone you ask is certain to be willing to share their own views on the subject - and sometimes they may even agree with each other. Whether you're looking for the latest model with new electronic safety features, or favour a classic build that boasts exceptional longevity, a little research can help sort the wheat from the chaff when finding a car model to trust.
It may come as no surprise that Japanese cars are ahead of the curve in today's auto manufacturing industry, with models such as the Honda Accord, Subaru Forester, Madza MX-5 and Mitsubishi Carisma regularly topping the reliability indexes of car insurance companies. Boasting excellent value for money as well as easy handling and superb engines, Japanese cars have become firm favourites among drivers looking for safe family cars or just something to make an impression on their colleagues.
Special mention should be given to Toyota, too, which bears out its ambition to become the world's largest car manufacturer by offering high quality vehicles of all sizes - particularly the Toyota Yaris, which is arguably the finest small car on the market today, with its reliable engines and practical use of space eliminating many of the drawbacks associated with mini vehicles.
While car models come and go in the highly competitive market, many are still going strong decades later - which can itself be a sure sign of durability. Cars such as the Toyota Celica and Corolla are still leading choices among used car buyers around the world, and despite a number of overhauls to improve performance and safety, the quality associated with the name is well-earned.
Whichever model of car is your particular favourite, it's important to keep your vehicles in top condition and get them serviced regularly to ensure they are still roadworthy. If your car is more than 10 years old, it's advisable to consider car windscreen replacements and to update other areas to enjoy maximum durability out on the road.
