In my opinion, vehicles built by Honda or Toyota will last longer than anything else.
The Subaru Forester and Outback get great ratings from Consumer Reports, but my personal experience with Subaru is that they are expensive to operate and maintain. GREAT in snow, however, and I still have my '96 Legacy wagon.
I much prefer my '97 Accord, however. It gets better mileage, is more comfortable, and costs less to maintain. There have been several Toyotas in my past, and all were extremely reliable and inexpensive to maintain.
If you’re car-savvy, and can do some of your own maintenance, a Suzuki might be a good buy. I’m not afraid to try different brands now and then, and have had good results with cars most people consider not worth looking at.
If you’re talking about used cars, it all comes down to the individual car. Each is different. You can get a good one or a bad one. Roll the dice!
