To my surprise, my mother, when in her early 70s, asked me what kind of car to buy. I told her to get a Camry. To my further amazement, she actually listened and bought a new Camry. When she died at 98, the Camry was still going strong and was given to one of her grandchildren, and last I heard, it was still running (it had been maintained by the book by her)
Toyota and Lexus products take care of their owners if their owners take care of them, more so than most other brands. My son has a 2013 ES 300h that he bought used at 47,000 miles in 2021 for about $4800 under market price, because the Mazda dealer didn't understand hybrids and thought it was going to be hard to sell a used hybrid. He's more than doubled the mileage with just normal maintenance, and it looks and drives like it's new.
