IMHO I don't think you can rely on any car to not need a water pump after 120k miles (190k km). These are normal replacement items that can crop up on any car after 60k miles or so. You may have the luck to not need one for hundreds of thousands of kms but I wouldn't count on it. Comparing a ladder framed truck with simple mechanics to haul around stuff to a highly engineered (lightly constructed and highly stressed) performance car is not reasonable. Also, the shear complexity and number of components in these cars guarantee more frequent failures especially in the electrical systems. Roll up windows are a classic example, who ever had problems with roll up windows?...but with the electric ones there seems to often require something. I have a very old Landcruiser that I use daily...everything works including the roll up windows but my five year newer LC with all the bells and whistles seem to often have little challenges pertaining to the electric windows, cruise control, refrigerator,etc.....things that my old one simply doesn't have.
