What Cars do You Swear By? (lemmy.ml)

Just found out that my current car will die any day now due to a known defect. It's out of warranty and I have no money to replace it right now.

I've been cursed with car problems my whole life, no matter how well I take care of them, I keep getting screwed.

All of the cars have been Fords because I always heard they were generally dependable and cheap to repair/upkeep, but so far they have all failed me.

What cars do y'all recommend? What cars do you have that just won't give up the ghost no matter how old/beat up they get? If your life depended on your car lasting as long as possible, what car would you drive?

I want whatever car I get next to last me 10-20 years. I want to be that person posting a picture of the odometer hitting 300k miles. I also don't care much about features, reliability is key.

As someone who kind of likes the idea of owning a Wrangler, this disappoints me to no end. :(

You can always swap the engine with a honda vtec engine, but in doing so you'll trigger the ire of other jeep owners who'll complain about the lack of torque at low rpm on honda engines.
