1999 Honda CR-V and just passed the 200,000 km mark this past Wednesday.
Bought it new. Its been trouble-free as well as rust-free thanks to Krown T-40, and in its 12th year, its still on the same battery.
I expect to get many more trouble-free years out of it.

I have a theory about F150 drivers... and, for the record, I am not saying you fit into either category Jaak.
It seems that almost every modern F150 is driven by an overly agressive a$$... I have always wondered, do you need to be an a$$ to buy an F150, or do you simply become once you get behind the wheel of an F150?
Another incident this week further supported my theory... Saw an F150 run a red light after agressively swerving around traffic going down Birchmount.

I use the truck and don't pose .. haul the boat and trailer as well as building materials ... I like the space inside as well as the cargo it can hold.
Now as to your statement above ... It seems to fit a lot of P-car drivers as well ... seen a few lately that I would love to push onto RR tracks with a fast moving freight train coming ...

I have the identical F150 on order....my first truck. I've hated them and their drivers for decades as I've observed the same ^ behavior. BUT it tows >11k lbs which is handy and the potholes aren't getting any smaller.....still need something else to drive D to D though as don't want to be in a truck all the time.
In the summer on the highway I get close to 9 liters/100km driving at 100 km/h ...
Winter with stop & go 401 from Don Mills to Brampton and back daily commute 16 l/100km ...

1999 Infiniti G20t - 320,000
2002 Infiniti G20 - 248,000
Cars have been nothing shy of bulletproof, I think I've owned about 7 of these over the past 17 years and these i'll make sure last a few more years.

Ordered with the 3.5 ecoboost (twin turbo) which now comes with their max towing package and promises good fuel economy (when not towing). I'm quite interested in trying it out; Ford's videos are very convincing.
