None of them have great long-term, high-mileage longevity but my mileage is low and I have minor spannering abilities. The great thing about looking at a used one is that the lose value very quickly
Thats one of my flags to warn me against buying a specific car for a long term investment. What you save up front is usually more than made up for by what you spend keeping it running. Not to mention the hassle of having to fix it, sometimes at inconvienient times.

Unless of course your plan is to buy it, drive it into the ground and scrap it.
