Car List... What is the most reliable vehicle you have ever owned?

For me it is my Isuzu Rodeo...

171K Miles. Still in excellent condition. Had the following replaced:
  • transmission at 35K - shop failed to refill after drain (I don't count this)
  • original muffler at 80K, an interior baffle broke.
  • starter replaced at 105K miles
  • clutch twice (a little disappointing)
  • 3 set of tires
  • 2 batteries
  • headlight bulbs - once I think
  • front cv boots - once each side with $8 split kit
  • timing belt twice
  • brake linings once
  • thermostat stuck - haven't fixed yet.

Need to do...
  • Flush Antifreeze
  • Flush Brakes
  • replace fuel filter
  • based on history - a clutch soon
  • all hoses
  • alignment
  • battery
  • new thermostat housing (corroding)
This thing seems to be bulletproof. These days I only drive it locally because I cannot find replacement hoses (or even specification) under the V6 valley. Once one goes I will have it as a sample.
