Pre 2022s are quite good. Haven’t experienced the later ones. However - with the newer ones, you get the benefit of a warranty.

5.3s are pretty reliable once the MDS is disabled. Same with the 6.2. This is in comparison to other trucks. In my region at least, they maintain a reputation for long-term reliability. This is compounded by the wide availability of parts and shops which specialize in them. They’re great engines when working properly. No replacement for displacement as they say. I’ve got a CTS-V V3 with the 6.2 LT4 and haven’t faced any major issues (other than a starter motor). Yes, it currently shows a CEL, (too lean) - but no issues with performance. Had I bought an M5 at the time for example, it’d be in the shop longer than it would be on the road (I used to own a '13 750 (with the N63TU) and the engine was replaced under warranty at just 15k miles). I also owned several E60s (most recently a 550i LCI with the N62) - and eventually got bored of the continual oil leaks and repair costs. I plan on keeping the V for a long time. This is coming from an owner of a '10 Range Rover with the infamous 5.0 Supercharged V8 (a car I love too - but I can’t deny that I’ve spent more maintaining it than the total repair costs on the V - which I’ve owned since '17).
Jaguar - the cars aren’t any more unreliable than their German counterparts, and driving dynamics are very good across the range. F Pace SVRs can be found at great prices these days.
Yes. Same concept though.
