7 CHEAP SUV's That Last 500,000 Miles!

there's nothing worse than buying a new car only to have to scrap it just a few years after pulling it off the law you want something that's going to take you wherever you want to go rolling past the junkyards whether you're an outdoor enthusiast who wants to go off-road or a road tripper who's living out of their car there are some cheap suvs out there that will last a lifetime yeah your lifetime without putting a massive hole in your wallet here are seven cheap suvs that will last you forever let's get into it these days it seems like every other car on the road is a honda crv you've seen them right well that's for good reason okay guys this is one of honda's best-selling suvs these japanese juggernauts consistently last a lifetime this means that you're seeing crvs from this year last year 2010 2005. hell probably a couple from the stone ages and guess what they're probably all running just fine while your cr-v is probably not going to impress any supermodels it'll sure make you happy with how much you'll save in the long run these compact crossover suvs hide a 2.4 liter engine under the hood that's hooked up to a 5-speed transmission making the cr-v one of the most maneuverable machines in its class it also offers surprisingly peppy acceleration that'll have you grinning as you sail past the sedans expect gas mileage close to 30 miles per gallon no matter what generation you get and best of all you'll be cruising in your crv until you're ready to pass it on to your grandchildren because that's what i'm sure you're thinking about grandchildren jd power hit the crv with 5 out of 5 stars for reliability and we here at ideal definitely agree i found this great deal on auto tempest all of my favorites that i'm gonna talk about today are in the description down below next up we've got a great suv if you're thinking big a little big this right here is the biggest beast on the list today the chevy tahoe just looks like authority and you might even find that people pull off the road for you if you buy a tahoe because these bad boys are used as cop cars that's not because of how badass they look it's because they rock a 5.3 liter v8 capable of spitting out 320 horsepower and a six-speed transmission it's geared to chase down bad guys or pass the sucker in the slow lane unfortunately the downside of having an engine built for a giant steel bulldog is that the fuel economy is pretty subpar but never fear the tahoe can still end up saving you money this 2010 model is selling for under 10 grand and is guaranteed to last forever and just like the crv the tahoe also got 5 out of 5 star rating for reliability from jd power from 2010 to 2014 which means that this bruiser can take a beating no i'm not suggesting you go start punching your tahoe to see if it dents but i am suggesting that if you buy a chevy tahoe you won't end up with a huge dent in your wallet and if you're willing to sacrifice a little power for agility the next suv might be all you saying that the acura rdx is an affordable suv that lasts is well accurate dad jokes aside the acura rdx is a car that your pops would approve of it's super safe relatively inexpensive and extremely reliable it got stellar ratings and iihs crash tests across the board except for rollover tests the rdx isn't just built for safety it's also a quick little devil that's a blast to drive it also turns corners on a dime thanks to an ultra firm independent suspension the firmness of the suspension does however make for a bit more of a rigid ride so with smoothness is your priority you may want to consider another option but if you're looking for an affordable luxury vehicle that will last longer than time itself definitely keep the rdx in mind as always actua has outfitted this ride with the finest luxury features leather trim a powered moon roof and dual zone climate control with its high degree of reliability the rdx will be transporting you in comfort and style for the rest of your days now let's talk about how you can get a land cruiser with lexus luxury for under nine grand that'll last a lifetime so what if i told you you can have all the luxury and performance that comes with buying a lexus all draped over a toyota land cruiser are you listening yes ma'am or are you holding onto your wallet for dear life right now shut up and take my money but no you can get all that and more for less than 9 grand with the lexus gx470 that's right all the expert engineering that went into creating the most powerful and reliable suv ever made by toyota combined with all the comfort and style of lexus luxury that damn riser on my street keeps waking up grandma with that fart can exhaust slapped on his old honda civic and you could drive one home today without breaking the bank what's even better you won't just be enjoying this sweet ride for a year or two the gx470 runs like new well over half a million miles doesn't matter if you take this thing off-road through every mountain on every forest on the globe the gx470 doesn't even know the meaning of junkyard seriously though this ride is an off-roading monster with high-tech features like hill descent control and a super advanced four-wheel drive system that can detect when any one of the wheels is slipping and automatically shift power to the other wheels to get you over any obstacle you could probably drive this car through the grand canyon without a scratch hold on don't try that but for real this is one of the most durable high performance suvs on the market and for a price like that you can't get much better it's so good in fact that our own resident off-roader squid bought one of his very own you can check out this video to see what he thinks of it right here what do you think of the new ideal 911 real quick just when you think there are no more mods that he could do to this thing he's like hold my beer what did i do he was given this trailer hitch from an amazing company that he's gonna link down below and then he bought a bike rack so he could roll around like this what are you talking about is this ideal or unreal that looks so good yes next up is a boat-sized suv that actually gets some solid fuel economy another beastly suv that will stand the test of time even if you take it off-roading is the toyota highlander this lanyard has enough space to fit your whole family and your pet elephant everyone has a pet elephant right it's all right sometimes you gotta leave the pet elephant at home and when you do you can fold down the seats into one of highland's many different configurations and suddenly you have room for the whole family and the house but a car this big must be horribly inefficient when it comes to fuel right wrong the highlander actually has surprisingly good fuel economy at 23 highway miles per gallon want to save even more on fuel toyota started making a hybrid configuration for this off-roading renegade in 2006. however it should be noted that drivers have reported that the hybrid version doesn't perform as well off-road so if you're planning to traverse the highlands in your toyota suv better stick with the petrol engine but with the electronic traction and stability control this machine was made to brave nature and take on the toughest terrains and the best part is that the highlander received near perfect reliability ratings so you can rip this thing off-road until hell freezes over want a tech savvy suv with bose noise cancellation let's talk a buick yeah that's my jam said no one ever now i know you're going to find it hard to believe but i kind of love buicks [Laughter] you serious well i did until brad bought me this new babe so in my past life yes i uh drove a buick and by past life not that long ago so the encore is not your grandfather's buick this compact suv is loaded with top of the line tech features ample storage space for its size and superb fuel economy for an suv let's look at some of the bells and whistles that the encore has to offer complete with a rear cross traffic alert system that lets you know if you're about to run over the neighbor's bike blind spot monitoring that helps you change lanes safely a 1.4 liter turbocharged ecotech engine with unreal fuel economy for an suv and it's even got a bose noise cancelling system in the cabin imagine driving in traffic and not having to hear all the road rage and car horns and even with all these gadgets you can still pick up one of these for under 8 grand but that's not the only money the encore will save you with great ratings and reliability and 33 miles per gallon on the highway this compact cruiser will save you a fortune on gas over its nearly infinite lifespan could your grandfather's buick do that no but while we're talking about reliable suvs let's talk about an affordable ride that'll last you to infinity infinity and beyond there's a reason nissan named their luxury division infinity because if you buy an infinity fx that's the year it will break down on you infinity in other words never and the fx isn't just reliable it's also quick powerful and a ton of fun to drive when the fx was first released in 2003 infiniti changed the suv landscape forever by dropping an suv body on what was essentially the same platform as their high performance sedan the g35 and by shifting as much weight to the wheelbase as possible they created an suv that can whip around corners and zip through traffic better than most sedans on the market this ride really puts the sport and sport utility vehicle but that's not all the fx has all the sweet luxury features that you'd expect from an infiniti a 300 watt bose sound system a rear view monitor and a telescoping steering wheel are just a few of them and believe it or not you can pull away in this righteous ride for under 8 grand ridiculous so which of these indestructible suvs looked best to you i know squid's choice is the big baby elephant that gx470 it is kind of hard for me not to pick the buick i mean they did upgrade that encore and throw the turbo in it when i bought my buick that wasn't an option but my vehicle was turbocharged i hope
