Username, you seem to have missed the whole point of what I wrote... I'm not going to even burn the calories debating one car vs. another. You'll just come up with another weird measure of quality (in your eyes), and speaking of eyes, I'm not going to strain mine reading through 8" of solid text without paragraphs.
Do you even know what the word "anecdotal" means? Here's an apt definition:

Evidence, which may itself be true and verifiable, used to deduce a conclusion which does not follow from it, usually by generalizing from an insufficient amount of evidence. For example "my grandfather smoked like a chimney and died healthy in a car crash at the age of 99" does not disprove the proposition that "smoking markedly increases the probability of cancer and heart disease at a relatively early age". In this case, the evidence may itself be true, but does not warrant the conclusion.

So while it may be true that a Ford LTD II requires a great deal of effort to change a heater-core, or that a Taurus may have exposed screw heads, neither of these warrant your generalizations and stereotypes.
I could feed you story-after-story regarding two Dodge minivans belonging to family members that had surpassed 230 & 250,000 miles (before they were stolen). My own '92 New Yorker that had 216,000 miles on it before I sold it (mostly I just wanted something different). Or the guy I work with that has over 300,000 on a 3.8 Buick that's never been opened up.
But these are anecdotal stories and they carry little weight.
At least I'm honest enough to admit that. How does having to discharge the A/C in a Honda to access the heater core fit in with your vision of "easy component replacement"? You ignored that one too. I can't even believe you think you have any credibility after stating your research method is entering a model name and then the word "problem".... At least tell me you can understand why this might not be an accurate measure, lol.
You'd rather sit and concoct laughable stories about the electronics industry than read (and critique) the legitimate, third-party researched and verifiable facts that I've handed to you on a silver platter.
That's your right I suppose, but consider the hypocrisy of labeling others as "lazy" when you yourself write on a 3rd grade level and refuse to embrace facts that don't jive with your view of the world. For that reason, in my opinion, all that you write is suspect.
