You're really exaggerating the reliability of the cars lol. I own a 10 year old Cadillac and it's running perfectly fine with mostly basic maintenance.
Its funny how most foreign cars are built exactly the same way now. With a lot of the "Foreign" cars actually being more American made than the "Domestic" brands lol
That's like the bare minimum lmao. I would hope a 2015/2016 anything functions as it should in 2026. We've got a 2015 Toyota Highlander w/120k miles that still looks and drives like new. I change the oil somewhere between every 5000-8000 miles. It's had one battery replacement. I'm considering a trans fluid change mostly just because I feel like it.
Hell, my 2008 Toyota Sienna - with 274k rough miles - is one of the few vehicles I regularly take on multiple custody related 500-mile roadtrips a year, without hesitation.
And yet you don't see me bragging about them.
It only took GM until the 2000s to figure that out, and after all they did with Toyota at NUMMI, they still said "Nah, that's too hard".
I'm not bragging lol. The person I was replying to was talking like they disintegrate as soon as you drive them off the lot which just isn't true is all I'm saying
