There is a strong nostalgic belief among automotive enthusiasts that classic cars were much more reliable than the overcomplicated computerized vehicles we have now. While that idea is true to an extent, the romanticization of the unbreakable classic car is more of a fantasy than anything else. Indeed, some vehicles of the past were built to a higher standard than today's vehicles. Yet, does that alone mean that these vehicles were engineered to last forever? Not exactly. Most of the cars from over 45 years ago are long gone, and the few that remain are due to the exceptional care of loyal owners and collectors. There is one vehicle, however, that genuinely earns every word of its myth—a Japanese workhorse that has remained relevant since before the internet was popularized and still rolls off the assembly line in select markets today.
