My wife has owned 4 new cars. All Corollas. She drives them until they have 250,000 miles (and still not burning drop of oil) and sells them and gets a new one. Aside from routine maintenance, never a single problem.
Aside from Honda, no other car manufacturer can pretty much guarantee 250,000 miles if maintained. None.
My mom's 98 Lincoln is about to flip over to 200K mark, our Subaru has 281K on it. No car maker is going to guarantee that their car will make it past 100K.

I get that, but toyotas and hondas simply last longer, on average, than an other cars on the market.

Is there any ways you can back that up? It's true that Toyota & Honda out sales everyone but that doesn't mean they last longer. In the end it's all about up keep of said car, even Honda & Toyota.
Subaru easily. Toyota & Honda yeah ok they sell of cars & like Mazda, Subaru's are nitch cars. Subaru's you can take off road & in any kind of weather no matter how good or bad & they more then old there own.
I'd have to say Mazda is a close second.
Subaru had that nasty head gasket failure problem. Owners report oil consumption issues though that's likely caused by not breaking in the car properly in the first 1,000 miles. The first 6 months of 2015 Outback had a relay condensation problem that stranded people in cold climates and a wind noise window design issue. I have a 2015 6-cylinder Outback so I'm not slamming Subaru but every manufacturer has their set of issues. I had the sticky fuel door problem but the car has been boringly reliable otherwise.
I've already written this once in this thread but the vast majority of 2016 cars are trouble-free for 125,000+ miles other than routine maintenance and some minor recalls and failures that are addressed during routine maintenance. I wouldn't necessarily expect that from a Fiat 500, Jeep Wrangler, or Mexican VW but those are outliers. Beyond 100K, driving style and maintenance probably matter more than the brand/model of car.
Lexus are reliable, but they cost too much to get repaired, when its not worth it sometimes.
Toyota is starting to get that way as well with some of their models.
