Oh, I was being cynical, lol. Worst case, ya know!

The Corolla 4 cylinder is probably the most robust engine I've seen. Chain drive for the cam, so no timing belt to wear out, and just rock.

I had a 1982 22R engine go 300k when I was poor- rarely did oil changes, really didn't take care of it. Still started on the first try (with a carb!) when I traded it at 300k, and everything still worked. Only maintenance it required was a water pump at 100k or so, and the usual belts/hoses/brakes. Kind of miss that car. It was gutless, but damn reliable.

I did more maintenance on a 90's Ford with less than 100k miles, ha!

We have numerous Honda and Toyotas in my family, I appreciate that I rarely have to work on them - even the 30 year old ones.
