You’re not going to beat a 10 year old Toyota Corolla or Honda civic…
any used honda that I have bought I always got another 100,000 miles out of them. They usually have over 200,000 miles when I get them. I do this for my commuter car to work. Keep the miles off my nice vehicles. I have bought accords and civics.
A wrecker/tow truck. I’ve yet to one broke down on the side of the road.
Corolla, accord, Civic, Mazda3, some of the older Hyundais are great as well.
My 13 Mazda 3 just turned 100k with only one issue and was an easy fix.
Also, the Mazdas have a timing chain rather than a belt that needs to be replaced every 100k miles.
The Mazda factory rear sway bar links were not a good design and were replaced on a recall at about 20k miles. Went out again at about 40k miles and I replaced them with greasable ones and no problem since.
Subaru for sure but check the VIN in the door well.....get the one made in Japan
I have had real good luck with the Kias Rios that i bought to drive back and forth to work, had three of them without any major problems. They don't have a lot of power, but they are very reliable. They got excellent gas milage and reliable.
If you're in Florida, I'd recommend visiting the used cars Ocala based dealership - they have cars in very decent condition at affordable rates. Got my Corolla there and haven't had any issues with it - it's been a year since the purchase.

I asked and was told not bots but I disagree.
I've always been a big fan of buying used Honda's and Toyota's. That being said, my last 2 daily drivers were used Hyundai Elantra's and they haven't been too bad either.
Toyota Corolla should be hard to beat.
I've got a 2012 Toyota Camry with 268,000 miles and adding 500 miles a week to that. It's still on it's 2nd set of spark plugs. Changed the original plugs at 174,000 miles. The only other things I've done to it are brakes, rotors, tires, one alternator, one belt, rear strut assemblies and oil changes every 15,000 miles. It doesn't leak a drop of anything either. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. Another bonus is the 2.5 4 cylinder is a timing chain motor, so no timing belts to change like on the Hondas.
Honda first. Then Toyota.
Dallas Cowboys…..Eventual Super Bowl Champions
Honda civic or accord model years 2004-2009
Same year on a Toyota camry.
Make sure whatever the car is that the timing belt has been changed out, typically every 100,000 miles
Hard to beat a civic.
Corolla or Civic.
Any Toyota
