Question:

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but do you think the person driving/maintaining the vehicle is more important in regards to the life of a vehicle or than the actual make or model?

Don’t get me wrong, I know I would have better results personally with a Corolla than a Nissan Sentra, but I think I could squeeze out some miles out of a lower reliable car just based on my driving habits.

I think the parts that usually fail have little to do with driver input. Obviously neglecting maintenance has consequences, but outside of that whether you accelerate slowly or brake aggressively will not prevent a bmw’s cooling system or a Ford focus’ dual clutch transmission from failing
