11 Cars That SURVIVE Canadian Winters for Decades (Almost NEVER Break Down)

Canada spreads millions of tonnes of salt on its roads every winter, and most cars here die from underneath. These are the eleven I'd trust to reach four hundred thousand kilometres, counted up to the one where about one in three makes it. In this video: Mazda CX-5, Honda Civic, Toyota Corolla, Subaru Forester, Toyota Camry, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4, Toyota Tacoma, Toyota Tundra, Lexus RX, and my number one pick. I also cover which model years to skip, the recalls to check and what each one costs in Canada this fall. Sources mentioned: iSeeCars long-distance mileage data, J.D. Power's dependability study and Consumer Reports' brand ranking (all reliability and mileage data is from the U.S.), Transport Canada recalls, Natural Resources Canada, Global News, The Car Guide and AutoTrader.ca listings. Prices are approximate, in Canadian dollars, and change by province and month. General information only, not a substitute for an inspection by a licensed mechanic.

Tell me in the comments, with the province. #canadacars #reliablecars #2026
