Again, I have to reiterate that reliability is a relative thing and depends on how much care and attention you put on the car. I do not use cars in the vain hope of making a buck on it. I have bought and used cars, spent a packet on them and sold them off for a song, with the new owner benefiting from my toothpick and tooth brush levels of care on the car. I have used a Alfa Romeo 164 in ways that would make a diesel Nissan Caravan driver pucker his asshole. I have used the two BMWs like a sales executive uses a rented Toyota Corolla. but in all cases, I have maintained the cars using only the original parts and used only people who knows what they were doing for repairs and maintenance, and most of the time, all work was done by myself, Not a single car has stranded me on the by ways and the highways of Sri Lanka. But I know of people whose Mazdas and Hondas and Corollas were towed, carried or had mechanics travel 200Kms to bring back due to some issue. So it all comes down to how you use the car and how far you are willing to spend on the car and maintain it in the best mechanical condition it can be maintained. It applies to every brand of car. There is no 100% reliable car.
