[quote=Anonymous]Forgot to ad: The biggest factor in reliability is what third party manufacturers the automakers are sourcing components from. Different companies make things like bearings, seals or electrical connectors or other parts that wind up inside components like engines and transmissions. If those components are poorly made, it affects the lifespan of the components themselves and will create a failure point that occurs before the anticipated design life of the vehicle. I will say that I give a slight edge to European cars in this regard, but that is fading since many are using parts sourced in China now. But that didn't used to be the case. Toyota seems to source more of its parts in-house than virtually any other brand. So there's that [/quote]
