Modern cars are getting more and more unreliable IMO, across the board.
Sure they might not be major mechanical faults (big ends etc) but the
niggling little electronic bits and complex suspension that gets clunky
after 50K miles is all due to over complexity and poses more of a cost
and impossition on the owner than the old cars where you had to swap
some big cheap chunks of metal every 50K and on it chugged.
Unfortunately we want refinement and green-ness too so we're shafted.
