new turbo cars are soooooooo much more reliable!!! of course cars like 180sx, silvia, skyline,gtir what ever are unreliable because
a) they have all been thrashed
b) there just old.....
c) technology has evolved (i.e turbo timer no longer required)
but agree thats what lead me to honda in search of reliabilty, and i loved it could thrash all day and nothing went wrong
But in my search for a 4 door & more power i ended up with 03 wrx and seems pretty reliable although DC2r much more fun to drive
