Apart from my first car all have made 100k plus. The one with reliability issues was a Rover 416 (head gasket and electrics) The best is our Civic 153k. Rot did them all apart from the Rover (lovely car to drive and body work absolutely fine) Even the Civic is now showing its years.
The old rear wheel drive were a breeze to work on, I lifted the engine and changed a piston over a weekend on the old push rod Escort (and I dont consider myself a spanner man by any means ). Think the Civic engine was computer aided to get it to fit, (dare not touch it) Its got an Isuzu diesel engine.
