I don't know what your money looks like, but you can't go wrong with "Honda."
All you have to do is change the oil on the regular, and maintain the tires. You'll easily get close to 250,000 miles out of it.
When we sold our Honda Element, it had 400,000+ miles on it. That's no lie and no exaggeration. A couple of years ago, I went to a gas station in it. A white guy pulled up to the pump on the other side of me, he was in an Element as well. We looked at each other's cars.
Then he said something like, "Three hundred and thirty." I said, "Four fifty." And we both burst into laughter... Nothing else was said.
Why do you think they took the Elements off the market? They lasted too long... No planned obsolescence.
