do you have reason to believe they are low quality products, or just dont trust reviewers in general?
They can't be any worse than Jeeps.
Auto reviewers never mention reliability or build quality. They agree to that before they are allowed to review. Everything is positive, and to appear unbiased, they concentrate false criticism on pointless features. The count cupholders or spew a bunch of pointless specs like brake diameters and sway bar diameters.
There are multiple red flags with these vehicles:
They make too many models, sometimes months apart. These companies actually have no long term reliability record.
Australian auto owners forums are complaining about poor reliability. 78% have encountered issues.

But consumers are idiots, they buy $75,000 Jeeps and $110,000 Land Rovers with no concerns of reliability.
