I swear by any car. That is to say, I swear near any car. Get out of my lane! Three feet of space to pass at a minimum!

This is the way to go
I would recommend pretty much any Japanese vehicle. Look closely at Honda or Toyota. I have had good experiences with Hondas, personally.
I want to be that person posting a picture of the odometer hitting 300k miles.
I am at ~280k in my Honda Insight, my dad is ~320k in his Accord, and my mom is at ~400k in her Odyssey. My husband is at ~186k in his Civic, but he doesn't drive much.
BMW
None of their drives use their damn blinkers
German cars. Not because they're great, but because I swear whilst being in the same physical location as them. I've owned a handful of VWs/Audis and they are rather annoying vehicles to work on. Though half of them I've owned lacked any major issues. Just expensive... Fairly expensive.
Joking aside, Toyota is always a safe bet for reliability.
I know I'll get shit..I bought a 2004 Subaru Impreza new..and ran it for 15 I years..it never missed a beat. I put 110 thousand kilometres on it in that time. I loved driving it every time. Had it serviced when it needed. I sold it because I pivoted around a cement pole in a parking lot. Bit of damage to a door. Moved onto a WRX after that.. again, it has never missed a beat. No issues whatsoever.
That's quite low milage yes? I put about 50k kms on my Nissan every year. I think the average in Australia is something like 40k km a year.

Iβve owned 3 Subarus over the last 15 years. Drove the first two for years with 0 issues. 75k+ on both. First was a lease then buy out and was offered a great deal on the second to trade in. Only got rid of the second due to a change is need for a personal car. When I had a need again I got a third which Iβm only at about 60k on but plan to drive this one as long as itβll go. Only thing Iβve done so far outside oil changes and other routine stuff was brakes. Which I consider routine.
Another reason is swear by them is AWD in a very snowy climate without SUV gas mileage.
Honda Accord. I'm currently driving a 98 with 240,000 and looking to hopefully get 300,000.
Miata is always the answer.
if you're looking for reliability and repairability and depreciation you simply can't beat the car that keeps going up in value: the Honda Element
Where I live (we don't get most US models) Ford isn't really considered super dependable. Not the worst, but certainly not comparable to Toyota, Honda, Mazda.
mid 90s to mid 00s corollas i know they are different gens there but any from that era are great for reliability.
i've driven a couple of Fords recently that were very good quality.. Ford seems to be doing things right, but check forums and stuff about specific models.. but i'd also probably bet money on almost any Honda Accord easily reaching 250-300k miles with good care..

So far I've owned a Ford, Chevy, and Hyundai. Ford and Chevy were nothing but trouble; had the Hyundai for about 4 years now and not a single issue, so it's got my vote.
Honda Fucking Accord
American brands of vehicles. I swear by them and at them. They suck.
Fucking BMW, fucking Audi, turn on your blinkers when turning!
