13 Good Years!
Just donated my Kia to charity after 13 good years and 140K. I regretted having to donate it, since it was still a nice little car and ran well, but because of its age/mileage it was needing more ongoing maintenance/repairs than I wanted to put into it. Considering that the car cost 10K and ran very reliably for most of those 13 years, it was a fantastic bargain. The last 3 years were the ones when I had to put the most money into it - replaced the clutch, 2 wheel bearings, alternator, timing belt, fixed an oil leak, replaced a worn-out hose (avoided the dealership; did all the repairs through a small local mechanic). Wouldn't hesitate to buy another Kia - it's not going to be a classic car you'll have for 40 or 50 years, but it was an excellent, very low-cost and reliable car for over a decade. It was more than worth the money I invested in it!
