1.) A turbo in a QUALITY vehicle is as dependable as any other engine component. They also can give you 10-25% more power and much greater fuel average. And, if the turbo goes, say, after 150,000K then you, being a rather rich guy, can afford a new turbo anyway and/or you can afford to buy an extended warranty. I have had turbos last 300,000K on some of my vehicles (diesels).

2.) Electronics in a QUALITY vehicle are also dependable. In fact in many cases modern electronics are more dependable. You will NOT find a newer LCV that does not have sophisticated electronics, chips, sensors, on board diagnostic codes, etc.

No offense to you personally but I think you have some misconceptions about modern automobiles and your knowledge of the auto world is not as great as you think. And, your logic is a little peculiar. Just because your uncle stepped on a nail does not mean that you should be suspect of all shoes. If I were you I would look at the up-market SUVs. They are quality products and they are a little bigger inside.
