Toyota FTW~! (Except for Hobz. But he is driving the Ratoulla and Camry anyway.) | The EA888 Gen 3 and onwards have been very reliable, the 2+ were fine post-ring recall. EA839 has a bunch of issues... that is to be resolved lol.
The DSG and ZF trans aren't the issues - they're stout and can handle a lot of HP.
Both Audi and Subie have their issues but at least Audi interior quality and exterior quality is miles ahead of the Subie lol. Far more comfortable car to cry in at the side of the road waiting for BCAA.

| I can attest to the reliability of the EA888 Gen 3, at least in my GTI. It's been tuned most of it's life, now with a larger turbo making around 400hp for over 5 years without a single issue (knock on wood). I'm pretty surprised to be honest but I'll take it.

Hobz never sees dead Rangies cuz he never ventures outside Richmond or Vancouver, aka first owner territory.
Go to Surrey or Langley where the poors masquerading as riches buy them 2nd or 3rd hand at 70% discount and you can play “spot the flatbed” for shots.

I mentioned here on the forums there was an engineer I work with whose Range Rover's turbo blew up on him.
He is on his 12th Range Rover.

His 12th Range Rover?!
Who the heck is this guy? Is he a masochist, or does he just enjoy self-inflicted injuries?

Having worked with a lot of them, quite a few of the stereotypes about Engineers exist for good reason lol.

I forgot to mention that when I originally posted about this guy's Range Rover blowing up, he was on his 7th Range Rover.

Range Rover buyers are loyal, I can see why the build quality and "presence" is a step above the german competitors.
However when I was in Denver, enterprise gave me a brand new range rover with 9000miles, maybe it's for the Aspen crowd. The car had electrical gremlins already, the blind spot assist failed and how it failed is that the light in the mirror stays on permanently... which is aggravating at night. But the most unforgivable one is that there is a fundamental design error with the side mirror, when you go above 80km/h it starts howling in the cabin like the window is open. Apparently it's fixed in the 2025+ models but how the fuck did it pass QA?
Tata needs to sell JLR back to BMW so they can fix things up.

it seems i've been summoned 
its usually timing chain that fucks up on the later models, and no range rover owner is going to pay 10k to get the chains redone at a mechanic 
and RRS, velar or evoque is not a range rover
