I think its best to go with the car that you like if budget isn't an issue. Better to die with your loved one, than to live with one you hate
Since parts support is non-existant for any car, it don't matter which car you get.
In the end, parts only break if you crash your car often and/or you're a reckless driver.
The only reason to stay away from a particular car is if it has a systemic flaw. Something that breaks regularly in the normal running of the car rather than user error.
I personally have a Pro4 and a TA04, both I got because I liked. Despite their flaws (if any), I still make them run the best they can, because I like them alot.
