My daughter has a MY03 Liberty RX (auto). No probs so far (170K) and a very nice car to drive. It has all the creature comforts (air, steer, cruise, etc.) as well.

For short distance commuting you could get a Postie Bike. Tough, cheap and they can even be driven off road.

All of them. The common joke circulating tow truckies, ambo's RTA, etc at the time, was that if you lift the carpet behind the drivers seat, you will find a serrated line in the floor pan with " tear here"
They have thier enthusiasts though..

All very true except for the cheap part. Inexpensive yes but their popularity of late has pushed prices well above their actual worth I reckon.

Any pre-94 Mercedes; simple and built by engineers. My 78 W123 is the most reliable car I have ever owned.

Daihatsu Terios.
Wife had 1 we got second hand for a few years, then it went to the daughter for another 5 years.
Son in law finally rolled it being a D-H.
Top little car as long as you didn't have to drive it all day.
