Pick one car if you had to made it last the rest of your life.

For reliability yet usefulness I’d say a Chevy or GMC Express Van would be a winner. Bulitproof LS engine. Plenty of transmissions Available for replacement or repair. They are generally Fleet vehicles so one with 100k miles has likely had excellent service.

Would be boring as all get out, but durable and utilitarian.
 
I'd keep this one, if I didn't need my truck for surveying work. Much better on fuel than the truck and less parts.

When I factory ordered my Corvette it was with the intention of keeping it for the rest of my life and that's exactly what I'm doing. Which is why I'm not worried about putting lots of miles on it like a lot of Vette owners are concerned about. But then again I never limited my driving on my previous ones either (for instance I had 215,000km on my 98 Corvette)
 
My 2022 Subaru WRX. Engines seem solid, even tuned to high HP. The limitation seems to be the transmission when tuned above 400 wtq but solid stock or even mildly tuned. It's AWD is great and the car is easy/cheap to work on maintain, mechanically speaking. The electronics are fine for me and you can replace parts if needed.
