DSMs are notorious for their lack of reliabitlity. How, all of the sudden, are they God's gift to cars???
DSM cars are unreliable because of two reasons.
they are old. most dsm cars of the early 90s have well over 150k on them.
they are not easy cars to work on. they are very technical and 90% of the current failure are from non-mechanics wrenching on them.
my 10 second daily driven car has never left me stranded in two years running.
but this thread is about the best 4cylinder engine built. not about the best 4 cylinder car built.
cheers
