The average age of cars on the road continues to rise, and if you take a closer look, you'll likely spot a significant number of Toyotas. We're not referring to two-year-old off-lease Toyotas here. The latest study from iSeeCars reveals that Toyota owners tend to hold onto their vehicles for an extended period. The Japanese brand dominates the list of most-loved vehicles, ranking 13 cars that have been kept by their original owners for at least 15 years. Toyota (including Lexus) claims eight spots in the ranking, including the top five positions. Additionally, Nissan, Subaru, and Honda also feature on the list. The only American brand represented is Ford, with the Escape Hybrid securing the seventh spot.

Here's the complete list, from worst to first:

The original crossover SUV is highly regarded by its owners, with 5.5 percent of original buyers keeping it for over a decade. Surprisingly, the Forester isn't higher on this list, given Subaru's loyal customer base.

The first-generation Ridgeline, launched in 2006, still has 5.5 percent of its original owners in possession.

The older Tundra models, with 5.5 percent of original owners, are still on the road.

The first-generation Versa, launched in 2006, still has 5.7 percent of its original buyers driving it.

Introduced in the US for the 2006 model year, 5.8 percent of the original Lexus IS 350 buyers still own the vehicle.

Today, the RAV4 is America's best-selling SUV. However, older models are still cherished by 6.2 percent of original owners.

The Escape Hybrid, one of the early hybrids in the US market, is still in use with 6.3 percent of original owners.

The older-generation CR-Vs are still favored by 6.3 percent of original buyers.

From here on, it's all Toyota, starting with the Prius. The second-generation model, introduced in 2004, solidified the Prius as the hybrid to beat, with 6.3 percent of owners still loving theirs.

The Tacoma, despite Toyota's slow evolution, is still owned by 6.4 percent of original buyers.

The large Highlander, introduced in the early 2000s to compete with the Ford Explorer, is still used by 6.6 percent of original buyers.

The Camry, once America's best-selling family vehicle, still has 6.9 percent of its original hybrid owners.

The popularity of the Prius led Toyota to expand its hybrid lineup in the mid-2000s. The Highlander Hybrid, loved by buyers, tops this list with 7.0 percent of original owners still owning it after over 15 years.

To compile this list, iSeeCars analyzed over 929,000 cars from 1981 through 2009 that were sold between January and September of this year. Low-volume and heavy-duty vehicles, which are often kept longer due to their nature, were excluded.

"Most consumers can't commit to a single vehicle for more than a decade, but those who do save a significant amount of money on vehicle costs," said iSeeCars Executive Analyst Karl Brauer. "Keeping a car for 15 years means no loan payments for most of that time, along with reduced insurance and registration costs."
