Re: What car will drive the most miles and last the longest?
HONDA HONDA & HONDA . Theyare the best built cars period. stay away from Mitsubishi they are the worst Japanesse cars Subarus are also good but none of them match the Honda for realiabilty. In fact Hondas were so well engineered that in the mid 70s the Civic didnt even need a catalytic convertor to comply with the new air standards. Have no opinion on hybrids though but their sister cars the Acura are also very well made. Toyota got too big for their britches and skimped on quality control so Honda & Acura are now king. For perfomrance consider the Mazda RX8 if it is still made. The rotary engine is unique in that you dont have to use Premium fuel for better performance because there are no pistons but the older ones did suffer seal problems

Re: What car will drive the most miles and last the longest?
If long life and high mileage is your only factor, then Rolls Royce - more than 50% of pre-BMW Rolls are still in running order. However this is partly because the people who run them have the cash to carry out perfect maintenance, and the company offers a comprehensive restoration service. Of mainstream cars, VAG (VW, Audi, Skoda, Seat) are zinc plated so do not rot, so a VAG diesel is a good bet. I think the same is true of Volvo.

Re: What car will drive the most miles and last the longest?
Reliability and longevity are related but not identical concepts. Scrapping usually occurs either because the body has rusted to an extent where it cannot meet safety standards or is a visual embarrassment,or because the cylinders/pistons are worn out, and the repairs are more expensive than the residual value of the car. Some cars are prone to electrical faults from new, so would be classed as unreliable, but these rarely lead to the car being scrapped.
