20. Mercedes W123

This mid-range Mercedes model debuted in 1976, becoming their most successful car to date. It featured an elegant design, wide engine choices and an overall build quality that guaranteed up to a million miles. Most W123s Mercedes produced are still on the road today, proving that some cars can last almost forever.

The slow-but-durable 300 TD version produces just 77 HP, so it won’t be the fastest crisis getaway car. However, it will provide you with great fuel economy and dependability you need in dangerous situations.
