Interesting point - seems to confirm that where a vehicle is assembled and sometimes for various markets, they differ wildly. Years ago, when UK Fords were very problematic - German assembled ones were amazingly reliable. Ditto with UK Vauxhalls and German Opels.

I am in the U.S., and I have a 1998 Montero Sport since new that now has 142,000 miles on it, and has been very reliable. The best vehicle I have ever owned in terms of reliability and durability.
