I think for most people when they think "reliability" I don't think they mean just the engine itself. It's usually things like electronics that fail. You can't exactly maintain a power window motor or some sort of sensor.

When you have to replace something electronic all the time, it tends to be a design flaw due rather than lack of maintenance.

I've personally only had one mechanical issues with any Euro car, but electronically had tons of issues with my Euros. Maybe it's just shitty luck. But when multiple of my Euro's have these similar issues, you tend to get jaded. Can't exactly maintain an OEM alarm, fuel sensor, TPS, etc etc.
