  1.  @joshmanis9860  Honda's small industrial engines run at lower rpm (and hence gear periphery speed) than car engines. The belt is also driving the cams for only one or two cylinders. The stress is much lower.

  2.  @mjouwbuis  Peugeot was plagued with belts snapping on the XUD engines. Dry belts, 8 valves.

  3.  @Creepus_Explodus  This is actually wrong. Many cars are leased out to corporations and the leasing company wants good residuals, which means that they must not be perceived as being unreliable when sold second hand. Modern cars are expected to be reliable for 6 years, i.e. twice the typical lease. Over here Mercedes dealers will buy cars under 6 years old. Go over...well, I know someone who foolishly bought an Audi TT when she retired intending to keep it. After 6 years it started to get expensive and she then found out what the value was. No more Audis, the trade in didn't cover a used Polo.
