I think this is debatable.  The Type IV aircooled engine is pretty darn
reliable if not abused.  It's quite a bit stronger in the bottom end than
the Type II engines that you're probably familiar with in old buses, and
has a superior cooling system design.  The wasserboxer has significantly
more horsepower, though.
