Aren't dual-clutch transmissions a recipe for reliability problems?

I'm thinking of trading my 2020 Corolla SE 6-MT sedan in for 2022-23 model year on a Mazda3 sedan, since I'm thinking of finally picking up my first-ever automatic vehicle & Mazda still uses a regular 6-speed automatic that should be refined to-death at this point. The sad thing is that my Corolla will only have about 10-15K miles on it then. I would still grab a TNGA Yaris hatch without any hesitation whatsoever if they released them in the U.S. - but I doubt that will ever happen.

I don't think like that ... if it breaks, they fix it.

I rarely keep cars that long anyhow, although next month is 5 years with my Yaris.

I'm not even sure why I think like that. With one exception (keeping a 2000 Accord EX 5-MT sedan for 15 years while distracted with other life pursuits), I have never kept a car for longer than 2-4 years. I really blew through different ones in the 80's & 90's.
