They’re reliable until they hit their warranty and then everything breaks.
My wife’s BMW 335 started having massive problems right about the time the warranty expired.
Meanwhile I drove my Honda to 175,000 miles with never a single problem except the A/C broke once. I only replaced it with a new Honda because in wanted the new model year features.
Another anecdote is that two friends of mine routinely buy 10 y/o old VWs and drive them until they die at 20 years or older. One put 400,000km on his last VW Bora Diesel that in his words could've run another 400,000km if the interior weren't worn down so much. No rust anywhere except the exhaust he said which surprised me as well.
(High) performance cars break faster because they are pushing the limits of what's possible and have way more components.
