Keeping a car for 5+ years isn't about the make or model, it's about how much work you're willing to put in on it/how much money you're willing to drop on it.

All cars start to hiccup after 5 years of normal use.

Corollas are no better than any other car. If you want that famed Toyota reliability look for a Camry.

That said most modern cars will do you well so long as you TAKE CARE OF IT. Change the oil, do the timing belt, rotate the tires, clean off the road salt after driving in the winter especially in the rear wheel arches. Nothing lasts forever but if you nurture your car then it'll last you a good while.
