In about 800,000km's of MB driving, I have been left on the roadside once. My Dad also has been left once. In an 87 190E of mine, it was -42C and I had not used fuel line anti-freeze. The fuel filter is in a bad spot for freezing, and I ended up on the roadside at -42C. Not happy, but I didn't let it happen again. Dad had the alternator on his 190E fail and had to have a tow. My wife had the voltage regualtor fail while driving one of 190's and had to be towed. That's it. Our Mazda 626 has been towed four times in it's life, which is pretty good for 17 years. Every car might break down as it ages. Even the best Japanese cars have things that make them stop.
I understand having a car you won't trust. That sucks. And it happens, and it happens with all makes. The least reliable car I ever owned was an Acura.
If you really have to have a car that has the least chance of breaking down, a Corolla is probably the best bet.
