Relatively speaking, perhaps. In practice, modern cars are pretty damn reliable, at least mechanically. Tons of cars end up in the junkyard with perfectly working engines.

I can't seem to find the reference now, but there are some studies out there showing every single brand is more reliable now than the best brand 20 years ago.
