Strangely enough my current Range Rover. It has had a few niggly faults in 7 years (central locking) but has never failed to start or get me to my destination and back.

Had a 2001 Mazda 626 diesel estate from new did over 100,000 miles & never missed a beat, started jumping out of 2nd gear so px'd for the 2.6 in December 2010.. the only thing I miss about the Mazda is the fuel economy.

My (current) 1997 transit 2.5Di (bannnanana engine) which I paid £850 for
138K - 30K in my ownership over 3 years.
Never Ever failed to start first time - even at -18c, and has taken me from Cornwall to the far north of scotland.
passed last two MOTs WITHOUT WELDING
The heater works...

too early to tell on the lexus GS300 (3L straight 6) - but no issues yet in 6 months of ownership and cost £600ish

The Zafira I have now put 100k miles on and it still does 50mpg and is on the original brakes!
A sure sign you've now officially become an old man. You've lost the will to try.

Still, there's always the mid-life crisis to look forward too ;D

My bro had one as a runaround, when he was trying to keep his (new) 525 for special outings.

You could see the road, every warning light was on, the brakes had a metal on metal sound.  In the end, the MOTer couldn't get it through. Thankfully.
