Around 5 years or maybe longer...
After that I'll get One of the 3 cars, Lexus LF-A my first choice, Porsche 911 Turbo or Nissan GT-R maybe in the future there will be better cars, so lets wait and see, but those are my main new cars.
We've had ours for almost 2 years...will keep it for at least 5 more. The wife wants to get a bigger car when we have a kid, but at that point we will likely trade in our Mazda 3.
How well/poorly we are doing financially will also be a major factor.
I lease for 3 years, so will likely drop off the keys in another two... Then will have to decide on Lexus v BMW (I've always wanted an M3 but I like the Lexus interiors so much more).
I had an integra which I sold for the is350 and I had that car for 13 years. I still have my 91 turbo mr2 that is 17 years old as well. So I'm guessing at least 10 years, maybe 15.
