My parents had 2 Renaults which were disasters on wheels.
They used to bunch up failures until the car became undriveable instead of having them fixed one by one, as the cars would spend more time at the dealer getting fixed than being used. Then they bought a Honda Civic which did not have one single failure for 9 years, apart from worn out lamps and brake pads.
Even the 12V battery held up long (that was the part that failed after 9 years!) while the Renaults ate them.

My inlaws had a string of Lada's. Panel alignment? What about missing or wrongly fitted parts? What about a filler neck made from a kind of plastic that degrades with gasoline? They even rusted early, but not fast enough to match their technical and economical collapse to negative values.

My Insight is my best car ever but even that needed several small adjustments, and still there's enough that wouldn't pass strict scrutiny. 'Good enough' but not perfect.
But I'd rather have this than a perfectly aligned car that isn't pleasant to drive.
