There is no car - Safety/strong, high gas mileage, last forever,

Good car is not cheap, cheap car is not good that is base rule.

Many luxary car will be much last longer than cheap Japanese car (general seapking).  I have 2005 Volvo S80 still runing as new (fast, stable, only change tire once, breaks, and battery).  I also bought Volvo XC90 2017. Ave gas mileage 27.3. cost $60k.  Good gas miledage bu not cheap.  See youtube for deal for all kind cars and feedback.
