Any ideas for a long lasting car?

My 2005 Ford Mondeo is coming to the end of its useful life with 192,000 miles so far. Any suggestions as what to replace it with? I keep my cars for a long time and look after them, so durability is paramount.

Finding a like-for-like replacement will be difficult as few people buy Mondeo-sized cars any more and few manufacturers make them. A Honda would be good as they're pretty durable, but the Accord is no longer sold. A Civic would be a good choice if it's big enough for your needs. Also look at Toyota... we rate the new Corolla.
