Yes. I once had a company Rover that was totally and absolutely fault free and both recent family cars ( one Volvo, one Merc) have only had one minor fault each like the Lotus. My wife's Smart Roadster has been totally fault free for the 9 years she has had it. In all fairness, modern mass produced cars are pretty damn good these days. Poor old Morgans problems come from low volume and unmechanised assembly using unreliable human beings.

I never understand why people say something is hand made as if that is a plus point.
