We have a 2012 Civic with 150K miles on it, still looks good and runs great. All 4 of us drive at some point...grocery runs etc.
We have a 01' 330ci vert and 16' 235i MT...life is too short to pump money into a 2nd/3rd car.
Also have 18' Civic EX Turbo, 0-60 in 6.5...and while not quite as fast as 230i, runs fine. (why we got 235i, 228i wasnt close, regardless of what some R&T article says lol) and $20k loaded new with 100K bumper to bumper...allows us to feed the 235i for track use
Reliability means stuff not breaking and having to pump $$ into for a long time. I don't "think" we have reliability, and performance as good as most old Bimmers, we know it.
