Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / Reliability
English term or phrase: long suit
Consumer Reports'dan bir alintidir:

BMW has long set the standard for European-style "driver's cars." We have long given BMW high marks for the cars' agility, handling finesse, sophisticated engineering, and impeccable fit and finish. We have criticized the lack of rear seat room in the smaller models and the over-complexity of some controls, and had persistent small gripes such as inadequate cup holders and mediocre radio reception. Reliability has not been BMW's long suit. Some models hold up well, some assuredly do not.

Buradaki cümlemiz "Reliability has not been BMW's long suit." dir.
