Lulz, I've bought 3 in the last 6 months alone, since my airplane went bye bye. My driveway looks like a dealership at the moment. Happy as a clam.
I'm putting 30k miles/yr currently on a commute from hell, as a result of losing the airplane. Not a single AOG and counting. One warranty claim for a non aog issue, handled nicely and treated fairly. For the ones outside of warranty (given the multiplicity of vehicles im using to blend the miles across) the work has been warrantied for a year, it's been a pleasant experience, and those were multi amu repairs (hvac).
The service and bang for buck for the dollars spent has been above and beyond any treatment I ever got from the fac built morass. Buncha beat wife syndrome rationalizing the sclerosis up in here.
When was the last time your 40 or 50 year old car fell out of the sky?
15 months ago, not that I'm counting or anything.

My six year old sonata has yet to fail mid drive in over 3000 hours of engine run time. Ditto for my jetski but i didnt own it long enough to make the same argument here. My exwife vw blew the timing chain at 70mph and broke all sorts of ish, also my old jeep xj ignition sensor failed leaving me stranded in a median, so it's not like I'm being gratuitous/cherry picking about the former.
Point being I don't have a problem with "trash" reliability. Compared to taking the bus to work, single engine rec flying is suicidal anyways, which is to say thats a sunk cost if you're already here, so one either stipulates or finds another way to risk your life for recreation.
This issue isn't about that. Read my signature or I'm gonna repeat myself. I get that in automotive, rec aviation is fubar'd by comparison. It doesn't have to be; they're not for revenue airline buses, and they don't have to be. But I'm preaching to choir, this response isn't at you directly.
