It is funny, how here in Russia there are a lot of talks that modern engines need rebuild after 100K-150K of KILOMETER (not miles), we could not buy car with "million-worth" engine anymore!
It is very common view, that modern cars are much more safe, comfortable, ecologically sane, faster, and even reliable in first 1-2 years, than old ones, but they will break up and require very expensive repair (engine re-sleeving or re-boring with full rebuild) much, much sooner than older ones.
- fomine3 6y agoPossibly social pressure for environment (fuel efficiency, exhaust regulation) affects the reliability. For example, some cars now uses 0W-8 oil.
