i think we shouldn't stereotype brands based only on the reliability records of past products. Mercedes made bulletproof cars back then, nowadays, do they really still make reliable cars? One bad experience with one Peugeot SC doesn't mean the whole chain is shit. One bad product doesn't mean they cannot own up to their past. I own a Ford and I've heard the horror stories of people who own the same model as mine. In my 5-6 years of owning my car from new, I am extremely satisfied with the service and reliability of my car.
