Consumer Reports 12 Cars Proven To Go 200K Miles - No Subaru Models Make The List

Which automakers make the longest-lasting cars that will go 200,000 miles and beyond? According to an updated Consumer Reports (by subscription) study, the 2024 Subaru Forester, 2024 Outback, 2024 Crosstrek, or other new Subaru models are not included as in past years.

Toyota and Honda have the most new models in the top twelve Consumer Reports rankings again. Toyota has seven models, Honda has four, and Ford has one new model. As we said, Subaru has none. 

Consumer Reports says these 12 cars have reached 200,000 miles and beyond.

Who makes the best cars you can buy today?

Even though Subaru has no models on the 12 Cars Proven To Go 200K Miles list, in Consumer Reports annual report earlier this year, Subaru is the best mainstream (non-luxury) lineup of vehicles for 2023. CR ranked thirty-two car brands, with Subaru claiming the best mainstream brand title. Subaru scores ahead of its main rivals Toyota, Honda, Kia, Hyundais, and even luxury brand Lexus.

What do the scores tell new car shoppers?

Consumer Reports says each car brand's overall score for individual models is based on four key factors: the road test, reliability, owner satisfaction, and safety. Subaru's top picks are the 2023 Subaru Forester, Outback, Crosstrek, Impreza, and Legacy. The Forester is a Consumer Reports top-10 car of 2023 and the best in class.

Why is Subaru not included in the top models proven to get 200,000 miles and beyond?

Consumer Reports says the Top 12 Cars That Go 200,000 Miles list includes the "most problem-free cars." In its annual auto surveys, CR says that many other models reached the 200,000 milestone, "but they did not have as high a percentage of trouble-free vehicles."

Are Subaru vehicles reliable?

According to the latest Consumer Reports rankings, Subaru is the top mainstream brand.

CR says, "Subaru's first-ever electric vehicle, the Solterra SUV, gets an estimated 228 miles of range. Its only non-AWD model is the BRZ sports coupe, developed with Toyota. Subarus have fared well in our reliability surveys, consistently ranking in top-10 of all manufacturers."

"This Japanese automaker has long been synonymous with unpretentious, practical, and affordable all-wheel-drive vehicles. Subarus have done well in our testing, thanks to roomy interiors, easy access, great visibility, intuitive controls, good fuel economy, and a comfortable ride." 

Our take

Are Subaru vehicles trouble-free? In our experience of working with the Subaru brand for over 40 years, Subaru has had issues with some of its models, and no car brand is trouble-free. Overall, Subaru has been one of the most reliable car brands, and it will stay the same for the 2024 models. 

Subaru's new vehicles, like the 2024 Outback midsize SUV, 2024 Crosstrek subcompact SUV, 2024 Subaru Forester compact SUV, and other models will go well over 200,000 miles, and with regular maintenance, have proven to be long-lasting vehicles.
