crystalworks is on a distinguished road
Haven't been stranded yet. Just over 2 years of ownership and 20,000 miles. I do lots of preventative maintenance though to prevent a stranding.

Oh, I did have a cracked expansion tank once though on a road trip (of course) that I had to find and replace at a gas station in New Mexico. Cost me 4 hours and ~$110 in parts and $60 for the rental car to drive back into Texas to pick up the part in El Paso. It was fun times though...

Every car will break. There is always a chance that will happen at an inconvenient time. I pay a paltry sum with my car insurance to have roadside assistance which has paid for itself many times over with one tow being reimbursed.

If for example the MTBF was 50,000 miles on a camary and 20,000 on an X5, I'll take the x5! It's hands down my favorite car of all time.
