My waterpump/thermostat went out at 66k and turbos went out at 83k. That being said I was running full bolt ons and %100 meth. I dragged the car weekly and redlined it 6-7 times a day. So lets see here. I spend around $800 for the waterpump/thermostat. And $1250 for the turbos and install hardware. so $2050 for owning a car for 5 years modded is pretty phenomenal. Lets see a honda/toyota handle 200hp more than its designed to and only go through a waterpump on the motor

Exactly and anyone driving hard and modding their car naturally factors in increased repair frequency. It goes with the turf.
What I find damaging (and unjust) to the cars reputation is when owners drive the car hard and when a few repairs come due, claim the car is unreliable.
