She bought it around 2005, has driven it every day since.&lt;p&gt;When her friend passed away, she inherited his 1998 version of the same and has been using it for spares.&lt;p&gt;Now she&amp;#x27;s considering selling both, they are classics now so they are actually increasing in value. I&amp;#x27;m a bit sad, as I live on the other side of the world and I feel like in my trips home that car is one of the constants in my life. I half expected to inherit it and pass it on to my own children someday.</text><parent_chain><item><author>jancsika</author><text>&amp;gt; As someone who usually buys ~10 year old cars and drives them into the ground I&amp;#x27;m much more interested in long term reliability.&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#x27;s a much simpler list:&lt;p&gt;1: Toyota Corolla&lt;p&gt;2 to end: you&amp;#x27;re not really serious about running it into the ground. :)</text></item><item><author>laurencerowe</author><text>Note that these stats only account for reliability in the first three years:&lt;p&gt;&amp;gt; Then the brand reliability score was calculated by averaging results from 2021 to 2023.&lt;p&gt;As someone who usually buys ~10 year old cars and drives them into the ground I&amp;#x27;m much more interested in long term reliability.
