There is no doubt that the 2 leading car manufacturers today are Toyota and Honda. If you are to buy a car what car make would you get? Both cars are well made and have there own technological advances. They also lead the race for the most fuel efficient cars. Between the two I would say that Honda cars are more durable. They will give you 5-10 trouble free years provided you comply with the manufacturers scheduled maintenance checks. I’m not saying that Toyota cars are not durable Honda cars are just made of sturdier stuff. On the down side, Honda’s design is redundant and parts are expensive. Toyota’s simpler designs make it easier and cheaper to maintain than Honda’s. This allows Toyota cars to be in top shape far longer than their competitors. Verdict: buy a Honda. If it reaches 10 years you really have to get a new car anyway.
