Our current Toyota Camrys are at 13 years and 7 years, no rust and running fine so no immediate plans to replace them.
OTOH, we also keep a Corvette as our Fun Car and usually trade them off after about 5 years due to unreliability. We walked away from GM as our Daily Drivers several decades ago, and none of our Corvettes has been reliable enough to help reverse that decision. My wife gets to the point with each 'vette where she won't go on long trips with it because she gets tired of spending so much time in loaners while the 'vette is in the shop somewhere. Warranty or extended warranty cover the cost but not the PITA factor.
