Reliability has more to do with production and quality control than design. Typically, rust starts at paint and treatment voids. Moisture enters at panel gaps. Improper assembly leads to rattles and wear. This also suggests that there might be good and bad model vintage. I remember that British Leyland cars were particular bad in strike years.
