Neither capitalism or communism gives you reliable cars. What helps is good regulation for minimum warranty periods, mandatory maintenance and spare parts availability for 15+ years, interdictions of dark patterns (e.g: end user should be able to replace the headlamps, oil filter and such easily with basic tools). And also, industry standards, ODB2 for diagnostics for instance. And now, Cybersecurity and data privacy is super relevant, you don’t want OEMs or bad actors to be able to disable your car remotely.

Mh yeah the problem is that capitalism want you to buy new stuff so they will not make a very repairable car or a car that lasts 30 years
Yeah but none of that happens if the corporations that make the cars are the ones writing the laws that regulate them.
