It's impossible to build a highly reliable car in 2026. Things like turbos, ultra-thin oil and CVTs have made cars incredibly efficient, but the downside is that they can't tolerate any abuse. For instance, tiny metal shavings that would've caused no issues in older engines now threaten to blow up millions of new ones. The problems will only get worse, and the result is that modern cars will be worth next to nothing in 20 years.

I really don't know why people are so eagar to spend 8 years paying off one of these disposable appliances just to be left with a $5k shitbox with a blown tranny and a scored up engine. There ARE still reliable vehicles out there.

it's not impossible. just... illegal. and not kosher.

I think the funny part is Toyota changing a shit ton of part numbers for both bearings and rods.
Then claiming it was metal shavings.
If it was metal shavings, why did you redesign your bearings Toyota?

This is why you should not get a cucked out le efficient hybrid. Either get a full petrol engine car or full EV. These abominable combinations will make durability a fantasy.

I have muh reliability fatigue

Idiots will spend $10k more on a car so they can skip out on a 1k repair lol.

Just wait a few years for the Uber drivers to ruin all the hybrid engines and go back to diesel. Hell, I could see them adopting EVs if they can speed up the charging times.

isn't the eCVT like ford and toyota basically the most reliable transmission possible?
>>
>>29003183
More like $1K less per year.
Worth it.

I see more and more Ubers driving Tesla Model Ys now. But most are still Toyota hybrids.

Aren't the ones made by the Koreans specifically the ones that break?

This is the same for pretty much everything nowadays. The market has shifted to short term cheaper/disposable options rather than the long term more expensive refurbishable options.

Whether this is the fault of consumers (vote with your wallet) or rigged by oiligopoly/cartels (manufacture a problem to sell the solution) we dont really know.

I think wet belts answers that question pretty definitively.
