Ranking The Most Reliable Honda Engines Ever Built
By BRANDON SHOAFF
K20
First released in 2001, the Honda K-Series engines, like the K20, K20A, or K24, are some of the automaker’s most reliable and are beloved for their ruggedness and consistency.
The K-Series engine is notable because many of the automobiles that feature it are still on the road today with little issue, even 20 years or 200,000 miles later.
J35
Few can match the J35 engine’s ruggedness and longevity. First introduced in 1998, the J35 is surprisingly still manufactured and used in new cars.
These engines have earned the respect of many professional organizations that deal with cars and drivers. The J35 is more than capable of reaching over 200,000 with little issue.
F20C
First featured in the Honda S2000, and produced from 1999 to 2009, the F20C engine can typically reach around 150,000 miles before experiencing any major issues.
The surprisingly powerful four-cylinder F20C has gained international fame by winning the International Engine of the Year five years out of the ten it was produced.
