Late 90's, Early 2000's was a good time for reliable engineering, but it's worth looking into owner groups for finding good reliable cars. Toyota, Honda, Mazda, Nissan, etc from the time was always likely to be a good choice, but still some are cheap to buy, expensive to own cars, and vice versa with the euro competitors.
