Should’ve included Mazda. Its surely more reliable than most brands on this list.
"Life is to short to drive americans cars!"
Haha, right?
@@ECPP right
Exactly 😊
😂
Mazda has been making some pretty good stuff latley.
They really have been, more reliable and more interesting than many competitiors
"lately" 😅
They’ve been reliable for a while. Their 6 speed and 8 speed autos are right neck and neck with the best. That CX90 looks 🔥🔥🔥
My V8 Mercedes S500 last 16 yrs & was driving like new when I switched to a 2010 V8 S63 AMG & still driving like new & powerful, w regular maintenance of course. 😊
For sure some of the older V8 gas Benz’s or diesels went for a long time.
those old AMG V8 cars were beasts! We need these again and drill baby drill for oil independence!@@ECPP
Our Benz has over 208,000 miles. Naturally aspirated V8. Truly amazing engines they make. Definitely worth the money maintaining! Here’s to many more!
My current '08 S550 is running like new, nothing has broken on it. So much for Mercedes being a crap car!
I do not believe you. You got unreliable maintenance hogs there. A bottom less pit of maintenance. Lexus rules period
new cars have way too many expensive electronics that break eventually and cost a fortune to replace and leave you stranded. Go back to analog gauges, simple engine management systems and fuel efficient vehicles that get you from point A to B without costing a fortune!
Are there any modern techs that you should feel gets turfed NoW?
Mazda's are very reliable and keep improving. Big GMC/Chevy's transmission problems scare me away. Toyota/Lexus moving to turbo 4cylinders will be interesting to watch in the coming years.
cheers
I do not think Toyota will fail with turbo.
The only thing I scare/worry about when they combine 2-in-1 such as Sequoia/Tundra with the term of HYBRID MAX .... it is truly a disaster. Completely mess up.
TURBO + HYBRID = TUNDRA/SEQUOIA!! 😬🤢🤢🥶🥶
@silvervuong4135 agreed. The Tundra turbo V6 is having waste gate issues, and who knows if these engines will last for more than 100,000 miles.
Here in Europe they had problems with their Diesel engines were the turbos went out to the price of a cool 2.500-3.000$, in my country of residence most were covered under warranty, but som that had slightly to high km had to pay out of pocket. This was mainly a problem on the CX-5 with the 2.2l diesel turbo 175hp variant....
My father owned a 2013 GMC sierra up to 210k miles and the transmission lived perfectly fine the whole time, poor transmissions isn’t a issue with modern GM vehicles more so for dodges
The intro showing a glimpse of a Range Rover as the longest lasting vehicle, priceless Mark. 😁
Absolutely
As a proud Ford Owner (Lincoln in particular) it is great to hear the positive aspects of how their products continue to improve and last even more the test of time with reliability
Stick with the larger vehicles and larger engines. Small vehicles are poorly made in general from the GM, Ford and Stellantis group
Do you have air suspension on your lincoln?
@@jonathanLToronto I have a 97 Mark 8. I removed the OEM air suspension (even though it worked) the 1st week I purchased it. Replaced all (4) corners with Struts and Coils and she drives like a champ with no sagging 🍻
@@ECPP Facts. I own full sized vehicles for that exact reason 🦾
My parents had a 88 Ford Taurus that lasted for over 300,000 before it finally died. It never had any major issues either. They kept up with oil changes & kept up with the maintenance. The last car they had was a Mercury Milan. The car had low mileage & the car stayed in the family when they both passed on. My brother had a Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer edition that had over 200,000 miles. He finally bought another SUV. I have a 2018 Lincoln MIKZ 2.0 Liter Reserve AWD. I have very low mileage. If I can keep the battery charged. It’s a beautiful car & it’s fun to drive. It has 238 horsepower & 268 pound feet of torque. It’s the fastest 4 cylinder that I ever had. I had a 2011 Lincoln MKZ 6 cylinder. It had low mileage. I upgraded to my 2018 Lincoln MKZ. My family & I have had good luck with Ford. I did have a 89 Ford Probe LX. That car was a piece of junk. I was always replacing something. The motor mount was the last straw. I had an extended warranty so I lucked out without having to pay for the parts.
Another great video, Mark ! Always enjoy your presentations. My 2002 CamRey with the naturally aspirated 4 cylinder still going strong just clicked 418K+ mikes 👍🏽
Thanks for sharing. Great to hear.
This video is ridiculous there are a bunch of studies that actually study the reliability of cars find this one made my OCU testing 52,430 cars in 5 countries:
1. Lexus 95/100
2. Subaru 93/100
3. Toyota 91/100
4. Mitsubishi 89/100
5. KIA 89/100
6. Suzuki 89/100
7. Hyundai 87/100
8. Honda 87/100
9. Mazda 85/100
10. Seat 85/100 (first not asian car)
Now American or English brands...
22. Ford 80/100
31. Jeep 72/100
33. Chevrolet 68/100
36. Land Rover 64/100
Sorry to mention that your bias is incredibly obvious and inaccurate.
Maintenance is a key, unless a vehicle is a total disaster. All of my vehicles made it past 200,000 mile mark (BMW, Scion, Mazda, Grand Cherokee, VW), the only exception was Alfa Romeo - regardless of care that thing just dies and there’s nothing you can do about it.
BMW maintenance was brutally expensive. Yes, good maintenance helps. Change oil < 5k miles and change transmission fluid early.
However, some brands just have issues. E g., so many CVTs.
BMW, Land Rover/Rangerover, Alfa Romeo, Kia and Subaru are all companies that should be stayed far away from as they all fall apart quickly and are expensive to fix (aside from Subaru they’re cheap to fix)
For those in the market for a new car, keep in mind that it does not matter how long a car can last in theory. If you dont take proper care of it with regular oil changes and maintenance, it will not last long no matter the brand. If youre looking for a used car, make sure you check that it received regular maintenance and changes, even if it does have low mileage. Some cars can last very long even with high mileage if they were serviced regularly. Most brands will last awhile if taken care of properly, but the ones he listed are definitely the best when it comes to lasting long and at a lower price.
Maintenance goes a long way indeed
LEXUS of course.
indeed
4-runner is boxed frame the 3rd gen tacoma was 2/3 c-channel and 1/3 boxed. As always great video!
Cool, thanks
Yes Sir ! Ford's Trucks Are Definitely Tested Tough. The GMC Yukon Denali (Issues Aside), Is One Of The Most Off-road Reliable & Comfortable. Yup, No Doubt, Toyota's Forerunner Is King !! 🏆
So many people saying Mazda, and yet so many reported issues with catastrophic cracked cylinder heads on the 2.5 turbo engines, like my cx-9.
People are reporting problems with the non-turbos too, with the cylinder deactivation. I've seen videos where they start to blow oil out from the gaskets.
Cutting edge Small engine development means Japanese. Going back to post war Japan in the 50’s is when the big 5 made top of the heap in the car biz. The same in the Motorcycle industry Suzuki,Kawasaki, Yamaha and Honda are the kings in engine development. My Toyota Camry has 275,000 miles on it and burns very little oil between oil changes 3-3500 miles every time. The transmission is showing it’s age slightly from first to second it shifts a little rough occasionally but everything still works and it’s a 1997. My oldest daughter took it to college for 3 years and even she couldn’t kill it. I have replaced coils, radiator and hoses, alternator and valve cover gasket and brakes. AC blows cold as new. Very impressed. I have owned FORD and CHEVY Suburbans and Expeditions when my kids were growing up and love a large SUV, and will buy another one soon, but I am impressed with how little time and money my Toyota requires, rock solid dependable. Good show👍
Honda RELIABILITY for Sure
My Oldest yr 2000 Accord CG5 2.3L has 380k on the clock n yr 2003 Accord V6 3L has 200k on the clock
Both STILL Purring FLAWLESSLY
Can you please make a video on the best mini-vans. Kia, Honda, Dodge, Toyota and Chrystler
you bet
It is a no-brainer that the Japanese brands last longer than any other. (Except for maybe an old Ford truck.)
That’s true the older Ford and Chevys from the 79s and 80s were good for a ton of miles but these days the Hondas and Toyotas go forever
my bad experience with used Japanese cars led me German cars. People abuse Japanese cars and they are crap used cars. Only to buy new. But Toyota Lexus ditched their best engines for unreliable turbo 4 banger engines@@ECPP
Older Chevrolet's were better than the new ones. Especially the old square body pick up truck
You can't take that for granted. Most models? Maybe. All.models? Not at all.
A lot of newer Honda's are breaking down well before they hit 100k miles due to compliance powertrains.
"Life too short to drive boring cars!" 😂
Exactly
Then goes off to talk about Toyotas
Still Daily Driving a 97 Sunfire coupe and a 94 Sunbird coupe. Both four cylinders. The Sunfire has the 2.2 OHV and The Sunbird has the 2.0 that I'm pretty certain is a DOHC engine. Might even just be an OHC engine. Both are paired with the 3 speed transmissions. J body cars were great.. You just really want to avoid an accident in one of them haha.
you bet
💯….
Had a 97 Cavalier, had to borrow a SUV for the day from someone. Ended up taking a solid hit from a Tahoe that day
Both were totalled, and both of us ok, if I were in the Cavalier I would’ve got rekt. It was a decent car to me, but thinking about what could’ve been made me move on to something newer
Or, to be the devils advocate, it never happens in the Cavalier because that 3-speed auto/OHV 2.2 was SO damn slow I wouldn’t be in that spot on that day 😂
I'm afraid Honda's are not what they used to be. I wouldn't be surprised if in ten years Honda is no longer on the list of longest lasting vehicles.
🤡🤡🤡🤡
Things are changing and I have the detail upcoming
I agree . The key is to stick to that 2.0 engine in the HRV and Civic otherwise avoid any their turbos. Numerous issues
Yeah,the big guys in Japan better get shit under control soon.
Still with the tried and true 2l not the 1.5 turbo simple. Coming from Honda tech
We just bought a 2024 Toyota Camry Hybrid se Nightshade Edition.....love it!
nice vehicles
Won’t need to car shop until 2040
I drive a 2006 Lexus GS 300 with 144,000. Bought it brand new. Basically, trouble free.( I've replaced the alternator, batteries, general maintenance), but that's about it.
To be fair, Honda’s newer CVTs are reliable, they are not like the ones from 2015 with the bad shafts
Cheers
I own a 2008 chevy trailblazer inline 6 motor with 261k on it no major problems and i have a 2015 buick lacrosse awd with the 3.6 motor it has 150k on it no timing chain issues yet and i hope i don't i change the oil every 3k miles
i had a 2014 escape ecoturd. nightmare of a vehicle. major issues after about 70k
Poorly built vehicles all the way around
I dont think i want to buy lexus rx because they get stolen easily in toronto. I have NX300. I havent had it stolen and had it for 4 and half years. I would rather buy acura mdx for that reason.
Are you enjoying the NX? They are great looking rides
@ECPP I like it very much. I'm a gentle driver. I dont speed often and I really like the smooth and solid ride feel. I drove my nx300 to bc this last summer and back and not an issue other than buying a seat cushion off Amazon because I have sport 2 trim with a bit hard seats. My friend said he liked the ride as well.
The only complaint is that rear side is awkwardly round but I still prefer it over rx. I dont need a bigger cargo space and 6 cylinder yet.
Find a Buick or Chevy with a 3.8 or 3.1 full size V6. Very little problems no major overhauls.
No vehicles with that "German engineering" on the list? Shocking. Toyota takes the prize once again.
For longest lasting, the Germans generally don’t make them
The Italians and English are not so great at reliability either. Even old Rolls Royce when the company was independent used Lucas electrical. I has a '69 Shadow in 1993, nice car, owner was a co-worker at the time. The electrical and brakes! OY! @@ECPP
I think 2.3% Toyota after 200 k miles not on road, 97.7% on road after 200k miles.
I will always repeat, today another experiment where I took a E class Mercedes to put on computer an E class 2016, w213 with 200k miles and there were zero faults . I will stick with Mercedes.
Thanks for sharing. So that’s your brand?
We had a 2007 vette with 24k miles on it (driven during the summers)
Something happened to the 6th cylinder (rod or valve) broke and had to have the engine rebuilt 2021. We got rid of it
Thanks for the great content
Thanks for the support
Hello Mark great job and nice presentation again
We follow you from Middle East/Iraq
I would like to ask you about which is better suv in its segment BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne turbo S or Audi Q8 or Mercedes’ GLE or Range Rover sport please tell us in a vlog or more in your nice way of presentation
Thanks you a lot

Hi and thanks for reaching out, and yes indeed, stay tuned, this is a great video waiting to happen. Upcoming in the future.
I got 12 years out of a Dodge Grand Caravan. Who’d have thought…?
-- No Volvo made a cut? Why? No other vehicle on the planet can beat Volvo reliability, in just about every model.
Thanks for sharing. Things have changed in recent years. They are not what they used to be.
@@ECPP -- I'm keeping an eye on thier 2.0L(not eco-boost of course, which none Ford's engines were for sale in USA in Volvo, so original Volvo 2.0L turbocharged), its not bad, of course 3.2L naturally inspired is plenty fast, and enough power, but 2.0L with 30mpg are interesting, but hybrids are too heavy, especially for winter driving.

-- How is that? Tell me more, please!
Don't forget my RAM.
14yrs and I'm at 220,000 miles and still going
09 ram
Staying on top of maintenance and using Lucas has kept my truck going.
DIY oil change
You bet. I also have an older Ram and decent miles but running like a top
I don’t know how it is in Canada of the States but here in europe are Volvo’s one off the brands that makes it that long for a high percentage off the cars……Greetz from the Netherlands , ramon
Greetings Ramon. Cheers from Alberta
-- Here in US of A, we don't have Volvo models that was designed in collaboration with Renault, and Ford never could force Volvo to put crappy eco-boost engines in them, so 2.5 litters or over 3.0 litters are pretty much proven to be bullet prove engines, so long they coupled to Assin transmission(yet, another important ingredient that makes Volvo last long), 1/4 million miles are not a problem on these cars. I love XC60 how it's build and drives... IDK how those cars are for Europe, since gas are a lot cheaper here, and I'm getting 18-19mpg on 3.0L Turbo(yes, it provokes you to drive like a numb nut, that is why I prefer 3.2L), and 21-23mpgs on 3.2L inline short block six, very smooth running engines. And, yes I used to own couple 240DLs, 850, V70s, and now XC60. None(but one) of Volvo died on me, most made to over 200K and more, I just sold for pretty much what I bought 'em for with ~150K miles more on them, and nothing wrong with them mechanically, for newer more exciting model. It feels like for ever for XC60 to drop in price below $5000...
-- If Volvo's would not exist, I'd be Honda guy to the bone, but humbly "Volvo for Life" is the ticket.
I agree with you especially about the Toyota and Lexus
Nice content! Is the 2012 Chevy Caprice PPV any good? I have the V6 model, it was built in Australia but its still a GM vehicle.
Not bad
@@ECPP thanks 🙏
Ford? Chevy? Early April fools video
haha
Lexus!
Except for that stock 7.0l 427ci valve dropping time bomb
nice
Toyota Honda Mazda Subaru and an older v8 rear wheel drive Ford.
well....
I know Hondas have a really good track record, is the same true with Acura? I’m hoping to buy an older (2010-2015) Acura sedan since they are nice entry level luxury cars.
honda also still uses timing belts on some and manual adjusting valves
Good to know! Old school in some ways.
Generally most japanese cars .Others....naaaaa😅
Well, many. Subaru in general is a little weak
So that includes Nissan?
@@moeanthony9308 no 😉
@@BigBoss-tk6lh lmao
You lost me when you started with ford. They probably still on the road because half the engine probably been replaced by the time it reaches 200,000 miles
Haha nice
Calling GM brand reliable by ignoring all the smaller engines is a bit unrealistic.
Thanks
Lexus RX 350 is the best vehicle made.
Strong, reliable, luxurious, and much more
Is the Toyota RAV4 a good choice?
Yes it is they have always been a solid choice. Stick with NA engines where you can
what about Subaru???
most of them, not so much. Many oil burning engines and CVT transmissions are a bit weak
Stay away from the Chevy V8 that have the cylinder shutdowns unless you want to pay big money to have the sale on the shutdown delete kit. Because if you rebuild it it'll happen again.
Ford and chevy are better than mazda, subaru and mitsubishi? Okay
🤡🤡🤡🤡
Ford Chevrolet or some of the worst manufactured vehicles in the world. After 2010 it goes downhill
No one ever said Subaru or Mitsubishis were reliable.
I enjoyed watching your video you mentioned that Hondas had transmission problems how About the ten speeds transmission in the acura rdx does it have any problems please respond.
There were teething issues from the late 2010s since it was an all mew design then, but by mechanical design, it is reliable. Most teething issues stem from electronic modules that control shifting, but that is mostly a thing of the past. All in all, they are much more reliable than any automatic transmission that Honda implemented before, including the ZF9
What no Mazda? I heard Mazda was super reliable. Especially after they parted ways with Ford.
Statistically these are the brands at the top, however, Mazda is a really reliable brand and always worth a look as they will generally last a long time too.
What do you think about ford ranger or wildtrak ?
Trustworthy insights!
Fords the most recalled manufacturer in the last 5 years
I think you are biased to American brands. My top 5 is Toyota,, Lexus, Subaru, Honda, and Mazda. Acura and Honda can develop transmission problems
No bias other than to superior oroducts based on facts
Surprised you didn’t include my Mazda CX3
😲😳🤯 the Toyota symbol is a "T"
Yes
I hope someone let Elon Musk know T stands for 'Toyota'
All cars can last if you spend enough money 😂
any reliable cars that are good for university students (under 20k used)
C'mon man ! Chevy,GMC, Ford,Caddy and Lincolns are still trash over 30 thousand miles. Toyota,Honda,Subaru,Mazda,Nissan with that trashy CVT are your best brands.
Well said
Thanks.
Oh, dang it, I drive a Toyota! It didn’t make the list.
What?
My boss had a Tahole and it was junk
they really are
What do you have to say about Mazda?
Ford, Chevy and GMC 😂😂😂😂😂 everyone knows they are crap with quality issues
Totally
With the exception of their trucks that are generaliy overpriced, Ford is trash. Chevy and GM are even worse IMO. Honda is not as dependable as they once were, but still "head and shoulders" above the rest. Toyota has a bulletproof reputation for quality and dependablity. But the jury's still out on the new hybrid engine configuration IMO.
Exactly now turbo engines may have additional challenges
The Ford Modular Coyote easily outlast anything of a V8 in stock ford, Dude you taking LS master of Catastrophic failure Lifter replacement means the motor didn’t last so your just taking and not making logical sense
Thanks for sharing
So far my Toyotas all make it over 200000 miles.
Nice
Honda toyota lexus acura Mazda the only good ones
Nice
There is absolutely no way that Ford or Chevy are more reliable than Mazda in 2023 lol
Thanks
Lexus rules
Period
Toyota is the king right now BUT all these turbos may lead to their demise. Other names for the turbo 6 by ford.....ecobust....ecoboom....ecoburst...ecoburn
Meaning boring brands.
FORD 😂 dude blink twice if your bring held against your will.
"your bring"?
Haha, blink blink
Love to see Range Rover haha
yes indeed
In other words, do not buy any American brand
Cheers
Wow. The best of the best. 2 out of 100 are still running after 200k miles. Sorry, that's not impressive.
Ford Ecocrap
Exactly

Sorry to mention that your bias or kpi choose is wrong and missleads. I can make a bad car like ford last 500,000 miles, I would just need to go for repairs, but does not indicare that ia a good car. Americans car are generally bad, poor engineering.
GM, really? Your channel lost credibility.
Honda/Acura is the brand that desgined for most younger buyers compares to Toyota/Lexus. Nowadays, Toyota/Lexus catches up they know how to make the car head-turner for sure, ex like Camry ( no more boring grandpa grandma vehicle😂 ), RC350, LC500... compare to Civic Type R, NSX, Integra....
You must be one of the “younger buyers” given that you can’t construct a sentence for shit.
Uee Lucas ppl.
Oil alone is not enough.
synthetic Lucas
Tranny is not the engine. Oil is a small part of the equation
💯
The next video you do will tell people just the opposite of what you say now.....
Haha, believe it or not, researched
I only say this because it seems that Ford doesn't get enough credit for vehicles they produce. The truth is I drive a ford focus which never gets a good review even though I love this car. Many coworkers need rides when their foreign car is in the shop and depend on me for a ride.
😊😊l of😅
Honda & Toyota❤❤
Great
I would only go Chevy personally
Nice
I used to work for GM and I could get any car at great discounts, but I never would. Toyota and Lexus for me
GM makes great engines but they have electrical problems. Ford ecoboost engines won't go the distance
