Any car is only as good as the mechanic that works on it and the owner's persistance to keep said vehicle maintained..

I'm not 100% sure of that....My Mom beat the crud out of her 96' Nissan Quest,only to change it's oil and filter on schedule....it lasted 240k miles without a hitch and would have lasted longer if it wasn't vandalized.

My Boxster has had weird annoying issues almost non-stop and it's pampered and hardly driven because of the weather.

There are always exceptions, coming from the car business I can tell you in general, beat & mistreat your car and you can expect it to be unreliable...
