A V12 engine has more moving parts than an I4. But it isn't less reliable. A ****el (hehe) has 2 moving parts (one disc) or 3 (two disc) opposed to an 8 valve 4 cylinder (cams, pistons, rods, cambelt/cogs/chain, valves, etc.). On top of that, a 6 speed gearbox has more parts than a 5 speed + DMF.
Sentences like that are rather out of place... The DMF has proven it's reliablity. If treated correctly, a DMF will last as long as an SMF. If people don't treat it right, it will f**k up as quick as a standard clutch. Years ago people would say "oh an automatic... More to go wrong". And now? As popular as a manual gearbox. People also said the same as diesel cars came out. And now? More diesels are being made than ever before. The list goes on for ever...
If the world listend to people like that, we would be living in caves!
