2005 Lexus ES330 (current commuter car)- 38k miles and still running without a problem
2003 Mercedez E-class - No comment
Face it, BMW does have more problems then Toyota/Lexus, waste of time to argue it but the advantage BMW has its not so boring to drive  |
By the same token, I could use anecdotal reports of the various cars I or my immediate family have owned over the past five years, and the most reliable car would be a GM product (a GMC Yukon, actually) while the least reliable would be a Lexus RX300. Note that all of them have been relatively reliable nonetheless. But how could I could justify the use of these individual examples as legitimate representatives of an entire population?
