They are cheap cars bought on 72 month payment plans or leases and people won’t spend money on them. Others, like Kia or Nissan are considered not very reliable… mostly, in my observations, because people don’t maintain them. Owners expect that $1300 bill for service because it is a “special” European luxury car and that’s just what it needs! Mercedes and BMW cars, for example, have (or had…) good reputations for reliability but in reality, they really aren’t very reliable past the warranty periods. Many cars get a reputation for reliability because people that own them, maintain them. I have bought used cars with questionable maintenance that have served me well and new cars that were a pain in the rear… but I had understandably high expectations for them. I am nearly fanatical about maintenance and do most of my own work. I have owned both new and used cars purchased with as many as 100K miles over 46 years.
