Every car has it's good and bad points but personal opinions are like arseholes, especially when you don't work on them on a day to day basis.

I've worked on enough. You like them and I dont. Life is like that.

I find it odd people like some japanese cars and not others... To me, all japanese cars are the essentially interchangeable...
Our household has four. Five if you count the Kubota. They are good value for what they are. One German, one Brit, one aussie and one yankee make up the rest. Each does the job that it was bought for. And half a Belgian I think.

So I hear. And there was some “friction” between the bmw and Toyota engineers when the Toyota guys took the beemer engine back to Japan, did all their durability testing a and told bmw what they needed to do to meet Toyota requirements
Will probably be the best bmw engine ever!

This from an Alfa owner.
I have had BMW's and Alfa's (both pre 2004) and BMW shits all over Alfa from any perspective. After 2004 both marques share disaster status.

I make no claims about the Alfa’s long term reliability...
Most of my Renault’s have been pretty good. Especially engines.

They have decent reputation in Europe for reliability. Yet again I suspect it’s hamfisted Aussie mechanics causing a lot of issues. Most parts are made by the same suppliers as most other euro brands...
Ask me again in 5 years. If we still have it...
