I used to live next door to a guy who owned the only Volvo dealer in Milwaukee. He was always trying to get me to buy one and stop driving Toyota. Maybe because we were just two guys talking in the back yard but he put down his guard a few times and admitted that if you want a Volvo to run over 100,000 miles you have to spend $2000 per year in maintenance.

I still have a Toyota Prius with 400,000 miles and I think besides oil changes and plugs, I changed the water pump once.

I still have my 2003 GMC Envoy Denali which has 210,000 miles on it. Besides brakes, tires, batteries, oil changes and recently new coil packs and spark plugs it's still going strong and showing no signs of quitting anytime soon.

My favorite thing to do with it is to take it out in heavy snow, put it in 4x4 mode and go through the unplowed parking lots with it. One lot had 27" of snow on it and it went through it like butter throwing snow everywhere. :-) They just don't build 'em like that anymore.
