I'd put a randomly chosen Honda Civic or CR-V or Toyota Camry or Prius from a non-snowbelt area as a slight favorite to be able to reach 300K. We've got a 2005 CR-V with 235K miles on it that will need to be retired due to rust in the next few years. Mechanically, it's still dead nuts reliable.

I had a 2004 Honda Pilot that was still mechanically good at 240k miles, but the salt melt that gets put on the roads in Minnesota ate through the rear suspension mount points to the frame. My auto repair shop wouldn't even quote me a repair on that, which I assume would have basically been to replace the frame and rebuild the body for $20-30k.
