13 Japanese SUVs That’ll Last You a Lifetime

If there’s one thing that Japanese automakers like Toyota, Subaru, and Honda are known for, it’s their bulletproof reliability. This reputation was largely earned by small cars like the Toyota Corolla and Honda Civic, but their SUVs have also lived up to the high reliability standards gearheads have come to expect from Japanese cars. SUVs are currently the best-selling vehicles in the country, and it’s easy to see why. Few vehicles can match the versatility SUVs offer — they’re good-looking (well, some of them), spacious enough for the whole family, capable of driving through tough terrains and weather conditions, and can be fast if you opt for their performance versions. However, all these qualities are useless if the SUV keeps breaking down on you, which is why it’s important to prioritize reliability. Using reliable resources like J.D. Power, RepairPal, and CarEdge, we scoured the market and found some of the most reliable Japanese SUVs you can buy today, including new and used options.

13 Trucks and SUVs for the Ultimate Thrill Seeker

Off-roading, mudding, and adventure camping are some of the most fulfilling experiences in a truck or SUV. Today’s hi-tech amenities like CRAWl control, multi-terrain ride modes, and classic sturdy engineering techniques like skid plates and increased ground clearance can make all our dirt-road-driving adventure dreams come true. But aftermarket offroad upgrades can add up to cost‌ more than the vehicle we’re modifying. If offroad adventure driving is a priority, we suggest buying a car equipped for adventuring from the factory.

13 Crazy Fast Sports Cars From the 1980s

Every decade produces its share of automotive history, and the 1980s are mostly remembered as the golden era for exhilarating, analog performance cars. Thanks to the boom in cutting-edge technology, the evolution to consumer-driven marketing, and the growing pop culture influence, the resurgence from the malaise era gave us some incredibly fast sports cars. The technological renaissance of the 1980s delivered goodies like turbochargers, electronic fuel injectors, engine control units, catalytic converters, and all-wheel drive that elevated sports car performance to stratospheric levels. On the other hand, pop culture and consumer preference influenced not just performance but also the gorgeous sports car designs that inspired today’s models. We ranked the fastest sports cars from the 1980s based on their 0-60 mph times, as provided by enthusiast website Zeroto60Times. However, our list excludes racing cars, tuned cars, and prototypes like the Audi Sport Quattro (3.1 sec), Lancia Delta S4 (3.5 sec), and RUF CTR Yellowbird (3.7 sec).
