“Dirty little secret here…I used to work a multi-line Japanese dealership when I was younger. I witnessed every kind of crazy failure you can think of, we never wanted for work in the service department, these are machines.”
I also saw examples of wonderful engineering daily. Just as I see in my Dodge and Buick everyday, with both well over 100k miles. In my mind all cars built over the past decade are so reliable and well engineered as to render any arguement about quality “nit-picking”.
Sometimes cars or trucks develop big problems that really piss people off. Like the tranny troubles so many experienced with Tundras. Machines, this will happen. Even a well designed models can sometimes have a big failure. If they built all cars like the space shuttle we could eliminate those few instances but, a Corolla would then cost a million dollars.
