I had my Z3 for 14 years. I only got rid of it because I needed a baby mover.Kept my first Toyota Tacoma for 18 years and 320,000 miles, have had my second Toyota Tacoma since 2004.
I think the pickup thing is that while folks but the crap out of them new, they also trade them or sell them before that 15 year mark is reached. Daughter loves her 2007 Fit she bought used. Plans to buy a newer Civic I think. A bit too "normal" for my taste, but it's a darn nice transportation appliance. Coworker let me test drive her new Civic a few weeks back. Was a great car. Not my cup of tea, but perfectly good. With her permission, took a sweeping corner a little "hot", by which I mean maybe we hit .5gWow, that's quite the endorsement of the Honda family and Toyota owning the Top 12 spots on the list. Oddly enough, I've never owned a Toyota. Had a couple Accords though and will probably go back for another.
I would've thought there'd be a couple more "common" pickup trucks on the list (Silverado/Sierra, F150, Ram).
Or my '78 Bronco that I've had since 1992...My surprise is the Grand Cherokee is not on that list. My '95 which I bought used in '98-99 has been rock solid. I guess I was lucky.
Speaks to my point about the trucks. I'm pretty sure this data is based on new vehicle registrations kept active by that original purchaser. Your new truck guys that keep them 15 years are far outstripped by the new truck every 3-5 years, while your buy a used truck in the 3-5 year old range folks are the folks that keep them for 15-20 years.My surprise is the Grand Cherokee is not on that list. My '95 which I bought used in '98-99 has been rock solid. I guess I was lucky.
2004 Toyota Solara 483,000 miles with very few problems, next car Rav4 when the Solara gives up.
My 1996 Ranger just keeps on keeping on with almost 250k on it, a bit beat up from all the work I've done with it, and the best vehicle I've ever owned. My 2010 F150 will carry on to similar numbers, and outside of a minor scratch and a small ding or two, looks like new both inside and out. .Wow, that's quite the endorsement of the Honda family and Toyota owning the Top 12 spots on the list.

I was wondering why Toyota 4Runner wasn’t on the OP list. I see it is on your lists. We have 2003 4Runner; that makes it 15 years old. It has never given us a day of trouble; just usual maintenance. Our mechanic would say the motor and mecnical parts would way outlast the body of the car.
I believe this list is from when they are bought new, so you have to be the original owner for it to count.My surprise is the Grand Cherokee is not on that list. My '95 which I bought used in '98-99 has been rock solid. I guess I was lucky.
Probably why it says "cars" and not "vehicles".As there are no full size pickups on that list i find it questionable.
