My daily drive is a company car, it's about a month shy of 3 years old and will be replaced next month.

Fiancé has a six month old car via my employer's salary sacrifice scheme, again it will be replaced at 3 years old.

My toy/project is 28 years old, much more interesting to drive than either of the above, but compared with the modern stuff it's also thirsty, uncomfortable, unsafe in a crash and although very simple to work on it's still ultimately less reliable.
