2001 Saturn SL-1, reliable as a stone bridge & 35+ mpg. My other is a 2006 Chevy Trailblazer with the 4.2 inline 6. I love it to death. Both cars are well above 200K & use no oil, run like new. My wife has a 2016 Equinox with 140K on it, never a dime in repair, just oil changes & recent brake pads. Stuff I consider normal. We previously had the GM sister version, the Terrain. Same story.

Wow, that's great that the SL-1 is still going strong. Continued success with both.

I have a 2019 Ram 1500 4x4, and a 2010 Pontiac G6 GT.
Since I telework, I'll have to put "daily driver" in quotes, too.

I usually drive the truck because we're always picking up something for the house or farm. Even tow a trailer from time to time.
It's got 30K on the odo, and has been as reliable as an anvil.
All that's been replaced have been the rear tires (Gotta love the Hemi torque, although I don't do burnouts or other stuff.) and the front differential lock harness. (Chewed by a critter. Replaced it myself. $24. Took less than a half hour. Big deal.)

The G6 has been one of the better cars I've ever owned. ~120K on the odo. Free of squeaks and rattles. All that's gone wrong is a broken wire for the IAT sensor, a front wheel bearing, and a bad front door latch. (THAT was a bunch of fun to replace.) Also a couple of tire pressure sensors, but I don't even count those.
I'm also not counting the couple of brake jobs. Just the cost of doing business, and driving in Atlanta traffic. We can't drive, but it doesn't stop us from doing it at 80 MPH.

I have a 2000 Mr2 Spyder that has been very reliable.

I have a 2008 Honda fit. 220k and drives my 100 mile round trip to and from work everyday with no drama.

I drove a 2002 Saturn SL1, 35 mpg, for years until one of my daughters got in a serious bind for wheels. It was perfectly dependable, she still drives it. I now drive a 2007 Trailblazer with the 4200 Atlas inline 6. I think it may be the finest engine I've ever owned.

My daily driver is a 97 Toyota Harrier fabulous custom. You might know lexus rx300 first gen. RHD imported.

My Charger turned 10 the other week. 135k, amazingly comfortable for road trips, gobs of power when necessary, reasonable fuel economy when I behave myself. Puked a water pump last year and has some age-related nuisances, but otherwise has never left me stranded and is reasonably easy to work on.

My daily is a 2010 Acura MDX with the Tech/Entertainment package. 176,000 miles, runs great, the only thing is that it has developed a clunk in the front end going over bumps that I haven't been able to figure out yet.
