10 cars most likely to go 200,000 miles

For many shoppers, choosing a car that can go the distance is an important way to save money. A new study approaches the concept of longevity from an interesting angle, focusing on models that have achieved 200,000 miles.

Put together by the data aggregator iSeeCars.com, the study was based on listings for 30 million vehicles advertised for sale during the last year. Looking at the model years 1981 to 2010, the company ranked those vehicles based on the percentage that achieved the impressive 200,000-mile mark. Not surprising, most were vehicles that also have had good reliability rankings in our annual owner surveys.     

Moral: The kind of cars that last a long time are the kind of cars owned by the type of people that don't drive their cars very hard.  What happens if you have a nice old car, like a Mustang, for example, and don't drive it very hard....
