Hard to really go wrong with either of those in a "drive it till it dies roll." I haven't purchased a new car, but my 73 Corolla is still plugging along. It's had an alternator, carb, brakes, oil, water, heater hose, clutch and starter put in it since my dad purchased it in 1975. A friend of mine had a 1982 Civic that finally gave up at about 180,000 miles. It had a clutch, alternator, brakes and tires replaced in that 180,000 miles.

I can only assume that if taken care of either new car ought to last 300,000 miles.
