If you want a truly robust car get any Isuzu Trooper with the V6 and let do

No, the 3.2 and especially 3.5 V6 drank oil like I drank wild turkey and the first gen with the 2.8 derived v6 would blow up like all the other GM V6 of its ilk.
Now, the big 4 banger trooper is credited (except they all rusted badly outside of the desert).

Peak car was the early 80s Mercedes Benz with the five cylinder turbo diesel.
Honorable mention mid 91-95 Porsche 964/993 (early 91 and older 964 have cylinder head sealing issues and 96-98 have SAI fouling which throws a check engine light and won’t pass emissions although it’s not an actual problem).
Anything Toyota/lexus from 89-when they put turbos on them minus the rav4 with the oil consumption issue and all the trucks/SUV with frame rust issues and the 3.0 V6 in the 4Runner (V8, 3.4, and 4.0 are all excellent).
Anything with the GM 3800 V6 drivetrain was solid and dirt cheap to fix like $20 for a water pump in stock cheap to fix. I am convinced they stopped making the engine because they would not die.
