All my cars have only ever been more reliable with regular use, even the ones which deteriorated during my ownership... Which is all of them. I stand by the concept that if one has the money to run a modern car on finance they have the money to run a pair of old (pre-1990) cars as daily runners and ...

I learned to drive in a Savvy, for true shite credentials.

I, for one, am excited.

Many years ago I bought a 1977 Triumph Dolomite 1300 as my second car, and it was shite. https://i.imgur.com/OqCZStY.jpg To say it broke down frequently would be unfair, it rarely started in the first place and spent much of it's early time in my ownership stuck in my parent's garage.
