A bit biased

Without stating the obvious here...I see a lot of old Mercedes diesels on the road

 

Besides Toyota I would say Honda

 

Geo

 

Ford/Navistar. The 6.0L powerjoke.

 

Audi

 

X2.

 

Oldsmobile

 

Hold up, which geo? Because the prism is Toyota, the metro and tracker are Suzuki, and the storm is Isuzu.

 

I'm probably going to get a lot of flack for this But LS based engines - especially the LS3(6.2) and LS9/LSA. Also, basically any inline 6. As far as cars i've worked on they are the most bulletproof. I once saw an LS3 that was specifically used for track with 480k on the clock... Original owner put 420k on it with minimal upkeep. Now it has a procharger on 8lbs boost at 640HP and still hasn't been torn down.

But if we talk Yota - 22RE, 2JZ-GTE, 1GR, 3UR

 

where's the other half of it?

 

VW TDI

 

Lol you get the idea.

 

4.0L AMC/Jeep engine used up until 2006.

 

Metro...definitely

 

Don't you be knocking on that i3! Lol 55 hp of screaming fury strapped to a roller skate! Couldn't do more then 55 on the hwy but God I enjoyed driving that thing. Only 1000 lbs, my buddies used to be be dicks and have 2 guys pick up the ass end and rotate it around.

 

Honestly, when it comes to the end of the world there will be Chevy 350s and og Toyotas still running with out a doubt. No flack there

 

Also the 5vz motors. Love the 3.4s!

 

1978 Ford Pinto....ok maybe not.
