Though many of us are hopelessly afflicted with a car-buying addiction, most people try to keep their vehicles for as long as possible. That makes longevity and reliability a top concern, but we’re guessing that even diehard cheapskates start considering a new car before 250,000 miles. Several models make it to that mark, however, and iSeeCars’ latest study found that some models are much more likely to stand the test of time than others.
