What company made it and where it was made.

Any Toyota/Lexus/Honda/Acura that's made in Nippon. That's pretty much it.
Caleb Diaz
The driver.
Where it was made is irrelevant. It just makes you sound racist.
The materials used, the machines used, the skills and care of the workers. That is what will make the difference.

add Suzuki and Mitsubishi to that list and i'll agree

Low compression, more iron, less movable parts the better. Look for timing belts and non-interference engines.
Most modern diesels are easy to fix and durable but depending on your country are pains in the ass to live with.
Old Mercedes Sedans are dirt cheap, easy to get parts for, and rock solid reliable.
Stay away from snowflake engines that are one off, or only on specific models.

when the majority of the components are designed for infinite fatigue life and given large factors of safety.
another important factor is consistency of manufacturing quality, which can only be measured statistically. basically, did you get one of the "good" ones, or did you get the one the factory manager forgot to QC properly.

As racist it may sound, some countries simply know how to make things better than others.
