Not to say no car is better than another, I’ve read a lot on car reliability and it really is just based on the driver/use and random odds on if a car lasts longer than another brand nowadays. It used to be where parts and labor were vastly different brand to brand but now with everything streamlined and so much policy and law that a lot of what’s put into cars is the same. Obviously some brands may have a better transmission (CVT for subaru in its first few years had issues as it was new) or engine but overall it’s random. I know some people that swear by chevys and have 300k + silverados and some that have a rod blow through the engine 30k in.

Yep, I worked in automotive and who buys the car plays an enormous factor in its longevity. Preventative care and maintenance is one thing, but bad driving habits can destroy even the most well made vehicles.
