I hope we won't have the result for this one in quite some time, but Spirit had some steering problems (only steering problems though)

so which one is going to last the longest?
Oppy did much less legwork, so my guess is on it.

It's feasable, but I'd imagine unlikely that Sojourner is still powering up every morning. Perhaps a brush-off of the solar array and it might work.
