[me and my metro]

Unfortunately there are lots of poorly designed car and truck models sold.
There are also cars and trucks that fail due to the type of use they get and or lack of maintenance.
The 80s were very difficult for auto manufacturers with the transition from carburetors to fuel injection. To the point of my advise to my customers was to never buy a mid 80s anything.

The same thing applies to Diesels in the 2000s. As the smog rules changed to add EGR and variable geometry turbos in 04 to compound turbos and exhaust filters in 08, and then Diesel exhaust fluid in 2011. It has been an expensive learning curve for the customers. All brands suffer from the curve, some have been ok and some have been nightmares. The compound turbo trucks without DEF are the biggest problem and the most expensive to maintain.
