OT: Most reliable vehicle out there?
 

I'm sick of having to work on my daily driver almost every week to
just keep it on the road. I want to use my CJ-5 for *fun* and
offroading and not for a daily driver. I'm just about ready to sell
my '86 F-150 and buy something like a Honda Civic just for a commuter
car. I drive about 50 miles round-trip each day to work and would
enjoy some decent gas mileage. What do y'all consider to be the MOST
reliable car out there that gets good gas mileage? I haven't kept up
with the newer stuff. Honda Civic? Toyota of some sort? Ford
Escort/Aspire? I'd like something 3-4 years old at most that has an
engine and tranny that has "been around" and has a reputation for
being ultra reliable. Suggestions? Maybe I could take the $ I save
on gas and buy more Jeep parts with it. :-)

If it t'were I, and reliability and gas mileage were my concerns, I'd go
with Toyota.

A buddy commutes about 160 km/day (Ottawa/Perth) in his Honda Civic which
when last I spoke to him (last summer) had about 520,000 km on it ... maybe
he'll part with it, but I doubt it :-)

I've owned 30+ vehicles in my 54 years--for your described needs, I'd recommend
Toyota Corolla, no doubt, no competition, no question. You simply CANNOT go
wrong.
