It's time to change the vehicle in this household.

Look for the oldest cars in the area and then buy one of that manufacture. Excepting changes in design & factory, it will mean they stand the test of time in your part of the world. Then drive it til it dies - if it's a year old it will be reasonably environmentally friendly and you'll get a good life out of it.

I bought a Peugeot 205 for this reason when I lived in London - not so much specific local conditions, but because I saw really old registrations still being driven (and figured it gave thieves a larger pool to choose from!)
