4. Honda Pilot
People who are in the market for a rock solid sport utility vehicle should take a look at the Honda Pilot, which is known for being one of the most reliable SUVs out there today. Like the Accord mentioned earlier on this list, the Pilot is one of Honda’s top rated and bestselling vehicles. And it is one of the most rugged and durable SUVs, capable of handling off-road conditions and difficult terrain. Some issues drivers have experienced with the Honda Pilot include the need to reprogram the powertrain control module (usually costs less than $100), and cleaning out the exhaust system, which can get dirty and clogged over time (cost of about $230). These are pretty minor issues when one considers the durability and versatility of the Honda Pilot, which performs well on city streets and dirt roads.
3. Subaru Forrester
Another extremely reliable SUV is the Subaru Forrester, which can cost its owners less than $100 a year in trips to a garage. Subaru continues to be a top automotive brand and one that is known for quality manufacturing that saves people big bucks over the life of a vehicle. Many Forrester’s have been on the road for more than 10 years. Not surprising that they are one of the most popular vehicles to be resold in North America and great for people who own cabins and cottages in remote or rural locations. A few repairs that may be needed on this model of vehicle include replacing the evaporative emissions canister and vent control valve, as well as replacing the fuel pressure sensor. Combined these typically cost less than $600.
