Having replaced loads of parts on my Audis, G40 and a Sierra Cosworth I would say that most road cars are not designed for really enthusiastic (road) driving, so I am not too worried about this.
I spent a little time in the automotive industry and the constraints of design/cost are that you go for what the majority of your users will need, and not really much more unless they are prepared to pay a significant premium over the competition.
Just my opinion as always
