That's because you're poor..
Only the poor will think of reliability of conti cars, why? If this car breaks down just call service center to pick up and next day drive the next spare car in your garage.
Even if have 7 cars at home, just call service center to pick up from your house, do the service then send back to your house. No hassle for the rich.
But when you try to be rich, having 1 baseline BMW as your daily driver and that spoils then you complain why this why that.

The rich use cars as a sign of status. Why do you think people spend 500k for one car and have multiple of it?

It shows a sign of abundance like in the olden days where the farmer with 2000 goats and 5000 acres of land is of higher statute than someone who only has 1 goat with no land.
