I have one data point on those cars.  We had one in the company fleet for a while. We only put about 10K miles on the car and it had around 80k miles on it when we sold it.  Probably 1k of those miles were done on the chassis dyno.  Mostly EPA drive cycles but many power pulls as well.

I absolutely loved it and it was my first choice for road trips but, it was not the most reliable vehicle I've ever experienced.  Leaky suspension bushings, mysterious interment battery drain that was (after 6 months of needing to be kept on a battery tender) finally diagnosed as a blower motor controller and most annoyingly, spontaneously rupturing plastic cooling system parts.  That last item has the dubious distinction of being the only car in the last two decades and about 500k miles of driving that left me stranded (knocks on wood).  The engine itself was fine during our short ownership but, again not a lot of miles and resistively low total mileage.
