Porsche Boxster
All Porsche owners are loyal but they hang onto the Boxster the longest. The utility of a day to day ride plus the excitement of a roadster keeps the Boxster in the driveway for a remarkable 9.9 years.
The second generation (2004 to 2012) appears to have the strongest fan club. With 246hp, legendary Porsche engineering and the top down, who wouldn’t want to keep this ride as long as possible?
Toyota Land Cruiser
Toyota strikes again. This time it is with the vehicle that owners keep longer than any other vehicle in the study. The Toyota Land Cruiser competes with upscale brands like Range Rover and Mercedes-Benz G Class.
Remarkably, Land Cruiser owners keep their vehicle 10.6 years. Over a decade with the same SUV makes one wonder why. One analyst’s explanation is value. When comparably equipped, the Land Cruiser is significantly less expensive than the upscale competition. Of course price alone does not earn loyalty. The Land Cruiser’s reliability and quality construction seals the deal.
Do you own one of these? Have you kept a vehicle for more than eight years? If you have, what was it and what were the things that kept it in your driveway?
