As somebody working in the modern automotive field I would like to disagree. The only incentive for car manufacturers is price point vs warranty period, after that you’re on your own. “Durability and “reliability” are no longer selling points for any automaker.
As someone not in the field, do you believe there is a true, objective, statistically valid way to tell which manufacturers (or which specific models) are more durable than others? All I see are consumer surveys, JD Power (more surveys), etc which, like most surveys, have wide error margins, and overall seem rather anecdote-based, and don't necessarily account for different stresses placed on the car based on driving style, diligence of maintenance, climate, etc.
