I can agree that if you bought the X new and are having problems you can blame the X.

Used cares are an entirely different story. I got mine cheap, it needed some work. I don't blame the car though, I blame the previous owner for neglecting it and not staying on top of things.

So far the only time my car has not gotten me to point B was when the alternator went. Other than that it has started and drove like a champ on a daily basis. That with 149k on it now.
