My buddy has a V6 mustang that we used to clown on him for. Everyone else in our friend group has a V8 but in recent years he’s been saving way more money than us in gas.
Still not worth it... lmao Especially considering the V6 Mustang still doesn't get GOOD gas mileage. I'd rather drive a Prius than a V6 Mustang. Both will be ridiculed, but only one gets 55 mpg.
@lisa p You do realize hot hatches with small engines still count as sports cars, right? The Honda Civic Si coupe is quite economic and fast. And it sold decently before it was axed (I will never forgive you for that Honda).
Disagree with the Ecoboost. That car puts out a lot of power and since it’s a turbo 4. It responds really well with mods cheap on gas light weight and a lot of aftermarket support. This engine was also used in the AWD 350hp Ford Focus RS.
I give you the 1982 Chrysler Town Car with the 1.9L pushord _turbocharged_ K car engine - all 73 kW of it - dragging a full sized ladder chassis of 3 tonnes. Enjoy.
The Ecoboost makes all S550 Mustangs legit performance cars no matter what drivetrain option is chosen. Especially since you can get PP1 and PP2 performance packages. If you are a young enthusiast, in your 20's, first time car buyer you get a break on your insurance rates than the GT, you have way more usable room in Mustang than you would with the GT86/BRZ twins for roughly the same price and with a turbo upgrade and tune you would making GT350 hp and tq. I'm 60 yrs old I remember the Mustang SVO when it was new. Even Road &Track said it handled better than a Ferrari. But Stang bros were more interested in 1/4 mile times than turning a corner and the GT was cheaper.
You said it so I don't have to. All of the other cars in this list have horror stories attached to them about performance and reliability or safety. The ONLY reason the Ecoboost is on here is because "it doesn't sound like a V8." Laughable when so many viewers of this channel LOOOOVE turbocharged four cylinder imports.
@@JosephFrietze Yeah this was purely purely for aesthetic reasons nothing else. It didn't belong in this video. Besides this was a genius move by Ford to have a base engine that have both balls and more the old V6 options a ton of aftermarket support more than even the turbo 4 in the base Camaro. And kick in better weight distribution than the GT it's win win win.
Well, almost. The suspension is a bit too soft, so if you tune yours, you want to change the suspension. Going 160 mph with the Ecoboost, any bump will upset the rear... but other than that, the car is great. To me it's a replacement for the S15 Silvia....
The eco stang is a great car! I've owned 2 a 15 and a 16 both premium pack and the 16 with a ford performance tune and the larger calipers and brakes. I'll say it doesn't sound good, but it's still a fun car! To someone like me who loves the mustang, but doesn't want 15 MPG, the eco is the better way to go! Personally, now I drive a 14 3.7 because I got a good deal and for longevity, I trust the proven 3.7 much more not to mention the v6 sounds GREAT with a Rousch exhaust! It blows my mind the v6/4 cylinder stangs get so much hate. They make so much more sense than a daily driving V8. It also annoys me when people say "You don't get a mustang for the gas mileage". I'm like no, but that doesn't mean I want as shitty fuel economy as possible. 15mpg vs say my v6 which I average about 22 in the city may not seem like much at face value, but it's the difference between getting 240 miles in a full tank vs mine which I get about 340 miles per tank. Also not forget its got over 300 horsepower, as much as older V8s and there's still modding potential. Needless to say, the v6/eco mustangs are still great cars and without them the V8 wouldn't be possible.
I owned a 2013 ford focus…. I loved that car.She got 30 mpg just driving around…..on the highway it went up to 37 mpg.Mine had a manual/stick transmission so no problem like the automatics.Hard to get anything with a stick anymore.
You explained exactly what the fix is for the MazdaSpeed 3’s problem is. So buying it isn’t so dumb now, is it? And a bit of disassembly isn’t really much for someone who’s been working on cars for a bit.
And another thing, the SVO Fox wasn’t a screwup in my eyes. It had a decent kick for its time. 175hp wasn’t too bad for not long after the oil crisis. As for the ecoboost S550, other parts of the ecoboost family can be found in other ford cars. The ecoboost 3 cylinder can be found in the fiesta ST. An ecoboost v6 can be found in ford police interceptors, the explorer ST, and the bronco raptor. So don’t judge a book by it’s cover
The Speed 3 ine really isn’t even a “problem” I’d you’re only doing basic mods like an intake and exhaust. As soon as you start adding down pipes and removing cats or tube it, then you gotta upgrade the fuel pump. Source: I’ve owned two Speeds
@@E46SedanGaming not a screw up, but Brad's statement about Mustang SVO and Ecoboost is.. along with 90% of the other statements he made in this video.
@@dwest1756 I have owned mine since 2019 the ideal power band is between 2k and 3.5k rpm and being paired with a 10 speed auto acceleration is pretty good.

Although I've always dreamed of owning a GT with a 6 speed manual it's definitely not a car to overlook by any means especially if you are under age of 25 or on a smaller budget.

@@revmatic32 you also have to consider what the mustang really is it's not really a muscle car at the end of the day it's a pony car. Yes it comes with a v8 but traditionally the muscle car comes with a big block v8 not a small block v8 or anything below that so to call it a true late model muscle car ford really should only be putting there newer 7.3 gas engine in the GT
Ecoboost putting down more horses than every generation of Mustang V8's until 2010 that isn't a performance model like a cobra/mach1/shelby. The V8 fanboys pretty idiotic when they have to debate numbers.
Don’t necessarily agree with your opinion on the ecoboost mustang , it does sound like a rice burner but it is because it shares the same block as the speed 3 and 6i t’s a great daily it’ll never be the v8 but it still better then how you talk about it, for people who just want a mustang it’s a great option save money on gas and might I add oil change cost of a eco is way less then a gt plus it corners a hell of a lot better due to less weight on the nose, I don’t understand why they get so much hate their a great starter platform that cheap and responds to bolt on well, way overboard on the SVO btw , I own a FBO Ecoboost mustang and Whipple stage 2 GT in case anyone wants to say I’m biased 😂

@@rickitysplitz7035 my brother eco has almost 100000 miles with no issues and yes you can put a turbo on a v8 but 4 bangers handle boost better and their lighter
The Mazdaspeed6 also had the same engine as the Mazdaspeed3 but would snap rear diff mounts and drive shafts. Mazda no longer makes those rear drive shafts so you have to go aftermarket when they snap. Both shafts and rear diff mounts you are over $1300 in after market parts and you have to drop the rear end out to fix them so you might as well get new suspension and anything else done that needs replaced. I still want one.
Best volvo engines are the redblocks. They can take alot of beating, have blown up a few in the past. But thats my fault because no service and real hard driving on the redline etc. But we could get them on the junkyard for about 100-200$ back then. If you take care of your car and drives it like a normal person most cars will hold
Dodge Stratus/Breeze/Cirrus are way worse than Sebrings...believe me. I had a Cirrus and it was bad, and I was young/stupid. The battery was above the driver side tire. They overheated all the time. They were quick if you had the Holley throttle body, but that was it. Plus, front wheel drive. Not fun, not reliable, 2/10 lol
Please please please never buy the focus with the DCT. I had one and it was a really nice car for the price, OTHER THAN THE TRANSMISSION. Absolute nightmare, 80,000 kilometres on it and it failed. To make things worse, the TCM (Ford's bandaid "fix") is on backorder for nearly a year. Luckily I upgraded to a 9th gen Civic Si that I absolutely love. Hope it runs forever.
Damn bro u about nailed it. I guess you omitted the 3v F150 and the Neon due to lack of time cause everything else on this list IS a turd, oh and the compass almost forgot. Lol
You showed a first gen mini S engine (2002-2006) while talking about “late 2000’s” (gen 2). 1st gen is nice although they can have timing chain issues if not maintained. The 2nd gen is the worst of the bmw minis but not a total lemon if maintained….and my son is a mini mechanic.
I never thought I would be defending Mazda 3 owners but you're purposely making shit up. Big deal upgrade your fuel pump when you add hp. If you modify your car you should have to make compensatory upgrades. Doesn't make them dumb.
I have 3 Audi's, all turbo 4 cylinder. A 2001 B5, 2004 B6 and 2014 B8. My 01 has 200,000+ miles on it and in the 3 years I've been driving it I've never been stranded. I've put about 60K miles on it with no major issues!
My friend had a versa in high school we were driving about 60 mph and got in an accident while he was driving and we did like 2 360’s and hit an electrical box. When I tell you that my life flashed before my eyes… let’s just say I’m glad I didn’t die in that monstrosity of a vehicle 🤣
I had a 2013 gli with the 6 speed that was great in like 2015. But it got me hooked and was looking locally for something more powerful fairly quickly. I found a single owner b8 s4 that had like 50k, and was at the same dealership that my dad worked at the bodyshop. The owner was an elderly professional, that he meticulously maintained. I scoffed at the auto transmission, but decided to go through with the test drive anyway. Glad I did, because I absolutely fell in love. Was obviously my first experience with a dual clutch auto. The powertrane was solid (while burning a bit of oil) up until 2 months ago, when I traded it in. It was painful, as I had grown attached to it, and had lots of memories. I did so because it turned 110k, and was starting to need more and more minor repairs, and also a costly starter. I knew it would wind up becoming a money pit, if I held out longer. Great car though
I urge you to take a little more time and look at the Svo foxbody more it was definitely a better car all around. The lighter engine made it more agile and had a better weight distribution. It also had a better 0-60 time compared to its GT counter parts. Yes I will agree everyone who wants a mustang wants the V8 car but as much as I hate to say it v8 is a dieing breed with these gas prices and on top of the increased price of the vehicle making the current eco boost a great option sure its not as quick and doesn't sound as good but for what it is it's a very good car and enough power to satisfy the average consumer and I can ensure you it has more than enough power for street driving I've looked into modding my eco boost to match the power of stock gt but at the same time what's the point you can't legally use the extra power gains anyway it get me up to highways speeds no time flat so why do I need the extra power or worse gas mileage?
u missed the point. mustang drivers want the classic american v8, if u want better mileage and a turbo 4 plenty of sporty options. s3, focus rs, type r, c300, ats, golf, 230i, etc.
@@Axxys ummm no, just some Mustang drivers want the V8. Besides, what's wrong with wanting a good looking body with a better MPG engine? not counting a very tunable engine.
@@airbomb34 yep. Wish people would stop comparing the Ecoboost with the V8... they are for different customers, and of course the sale numbers reflect that
The late model cheverlete 4.3 ltr engine is having problems recently too. I've had lots of em and I've had to replace accessories but never had any problem with the 4.3 ltr engine. Now I have a 2018 I've never had to replace an accessory or anything what is knocking can I change the oil religiously yes it has 180,000 Mi but I'm used to getting 300,000 Mi on a big engines. What what went wrong?
Here are some numbers for the V8 clowns. From 1964 - 2010 V8 mustangs that's weren't a specialized performance version march1/cobra/shelby made less horsepower than any 4 cylinder ecoboost Mustang. Ecoboosts are more Mustang than decades of V8 Mustangs. Deal with it haters.
What? A Nissan versa is a bad car? I owned one for two years and never had any issues with it. I took it on several vacation trips from southern California to the Oregon coast. I ended up trading it for a Mercedes but somehow my cousin ended up with it and she's still driving it.
The Eco boost lasts forever is economical and faster than the v6 which was nonslouch. I worked for Chrysler in the early 2000s. The PT Cruiser was reliable If you serviced it, and we couldn't keep them on the lot! They somd like hotcakes. Great cars? No. But they were roomy and comfortable. They were Not one of the worst cars ever! Oh, they routinely lasted over 100k IF you maintained it! I owned a GT convertable and enjoyed it.
6:19 The cutouts show mostly R56 models and these have a PSA and not a Tritac engine, which incidentally does not make things better! The early models up to 2006 had the Tritec engine, not the later 2000s models! 'Btw. the PSA engines are even more vulnerable than the Tritec engines and have significantly more teething problems! The Tritec engines are good and regular service even very good and robust engines, which is due to the steel engine block!
I have a 2000 Audi rs4 sedan it has 124 thousand miles it still runs fantastic I was in shock when I heard they have problems it was my uncle's car before he passed from cancer so if it starts giving me trouble I'll work on it it's the only thing I have from him
The 2.7 dodges sludged up.. But did go 200k despite The pt cruiser looked. Crap but where reliable The jag xtype was a great car.. Depreciation ! Yes on all 3 big time.
6:20 look if you don’t know much about Minis don’t talk about them please. You literally showed 2 different generations that’s have 2 completely different engines. The gen 1 has the tritec supercharged 1.6L i4 and it’s reliable (I been owning one for 2 years). The r53 engine can handle alot of boost too. The 2nd gen mini from 07 to 10 the engine was N14 which is an unreliable engine. I recommend staying away from the 07 to 10 cooper S. The 10 and newer R56 has the N18 engine which is more reliable.
He does a lot of that type of stuff where he just picks pictures or videos of the same type of car but it’s different generation, engine or trim and even shows like super modified cars when praising the unmodified version. And yeah it’s pretty annoying and makes it hard to take him serious when he does js.
Idk if it was just me but vid seemed kinda off no background music like there normally is and just mentioned a car and then zooming to the next felt kinda weird and rushed, but other then that good vid👍
L3-vdt eh, i wanted to swap it in my rx8 just because its HUGE displacement and because its mazdaspeed (i have mazdaspeed body kit installed on my red rx8)
i agree, that the eco boost should have never been made. Oh, could you ask why dear commenter? I am so glad that you asked that question. the reason why is simple. It's because the eco boost is not a real mustang like the v6 and the v8 are. The eco shares no heritage with the first mustang, which was an inline-six, yes and the v6 and v8 came shortly after. Also before you say actually the eco boost does have a heritage with the mustang, cause of the fo body sto. I am gonna stop you there and tell you no. the fo body for one isn't a real mustang either and doesn't even look like a mustang at all. In fact, the sto sold like dog shit also. back to the eco boost, the eco boost is also a terrible built car in so many different ways.
Ecboost puts out more horses than all V8 Mustang's minus some of the special performance based ones like mach1/cobra since 2010. It's literally more Mustang that the majority of Mustang's ever made.
i think having an ELR😅, swap out the motors and put a crazy turbo 4 cyl, or 4G-63 motor. The Cad just looks cool. Then i go race the Tesla with an engine. I don't even know why i'm thinking this, but dreams ...🤣🤣
I had a Pontiac trans sport v6 and never again, I had to tear off the inner cylinder head because of the exhaust leak (a bolt had gone off). Later, the intake broke, after that the gearbox began to malfunction and locked itself in overdrive. That with the gearbox I easily fixed by connecting a switch to the overdrive solenoid. Started leaking coolant inside the car due to the heater broke etc etc. Got a fiat ritmo for about 100$ it I drove for a couple of months before it started to be a lot of different electrical faults.
The first one with the CX7 and Mazdaspeed3 is dumb. Everyone that buys a Speed 3 knows that if you want to mod it to get an Auto Tech or Corksport HPFP. Don’t just assume it has upgraded internals, just buy them lol. Loved my Speed3 before I raped some dudes wallet selling it recently.
Weird video. Like why hate on an eco boost mustang. The mustang is Fords last car, they have to make it available to all demographics. So when your grandpa retires and decides he wants a sports car but rightfully has no business in a V8, he still has an option. It’s not bad or dumb…just this particular video
maserati quattroporte with the zf isnt a bad car tbh, zf is an smooth and reliable transmission and the f136 engine is also quite reputable as well surprisingly, its just the italian electrical issues that are the bigger issue usually
I bought a Brand new Mazda 3 MPS in 2008, had it tuned to 310 hp, owned it for 10 years and NEVER had a problem with it, I just had it serviced at the main dealership every year and that was it, it was a great performance hatchback, I wish I still owned it, take care.
Holy Hell that power thirst clip is a HELLLLLLLLA Throwback lmao like pre 2010 i think EDIT: Yes, the video is 15 years old as of this year LMFAO. def pre-2010.. like '07 - '08ish

_Ahem_ E60 M5.
The Mazdaspeed6 also had the same engine as the Mazdaspeed3 but would snap rear diff mounts and drive shafts. Mazda no longer makes those rear drive shafts so you have to go aftermarket when they snap. Both shafts and rear diff mounts you are over $1300 in after market parts and you have to drop the rear end out to fix them so you might as well get new suspension and anything else done that needs replaced. I still want one.
I have a speed3, buddy has a speed6 and loves it. Highly recommend either

And btw. The turbo mustang was cool, and is still cool.
Wrong about the Eco and wrong about the SVO.
The Hyundai Theta II engine deserves to be there somewhere.
As long as the problem is reasonably correctable without being expensive, its not a walk away just because a given car has a problem.
8:00 Not a Solara, that's a Lexus. Still a good choice though compared to a Chrysler.
Best volvo engines are the redblocks. They can take alot of beating, have blown up a few in the past. But thats my fault because no service and real hard driving on the redline etc. But we could get them on the junkyard for about 100-200$ back then.
If you take care of your car and drives it like a normal person most cars will hold
Dodge Stratus/Breeze/Cirrus are way worse than Sebrings...believe me.
I had a Cirrus and it was bad, and I was young/stupid. The battery was above the driver side tire. They overheated all the time. They were quick if you had the Holley throttle body, but that was it. Plus, front wheel drive. Not fun, not reliable, 2/10 lol
Please please please never buy the focus with the DCT. I had one and it was a really nice car for the price, OTHER THAN THE TRANSMISSION. Absolute nightmare, 80,000 kilometres on it and it failed. To make things worse, the TCM (Ford's bandaid "fix") is on backorder for nearly a year. Luckily I upgraded to a 9th gen Civic Si that I absolutely love. Hope it runs forever.

Damn bro u about nailed it. I guess you omitted the 3v F150 and the Neon due to lack of time cause everything else on this list IS a turd, oh and the compass almost forgot. Lol

You showed a first gen mini S engine (2002-2006) while talking about “late 2000’s” (gen 2). 1st gen is nice although they can have timing chain issues if not maintained. The 2nd gen is the worst of the bmw minis but not a total lemon if maintained….and my son is a mini mechanic.

I never thought I would be defending Mazda 3 owners but you're purposely making shit up. Big deal upgrade your fuel pump when you add hp. If you modify your car you should have to make compensatory upgrades. Doesn't make them dumb.

I have 3 Audi's, all turbo 4 cylinder. A 2001 B5, 2004 B6 and 2014 B8. My 01 has 200,000+ miles on it and in the 3 years I've been driving it I've never been stranded. I've put about 60K miles on it with no major issues!
My friend had a versa in high school we were driving about 60 mph and got in an accident while he was driving and we did like 2 360’s and hit an electrical box. When I tell you that my life flashed before my eyes… let’s just say I’m glad I didn’t die in that monstrosity of a vehicle 🤣
🚀🚀⤴️⤴️📩✍️
Well old Versa is ugly to begin with... so not a loss there. But glad everyone was fine
I’ve seen the Hoffman at the Lane motor museum in Nashville. It was a weird thing for sure

I had a 2013 gli with the 6 speed that was great in like 2015. But it got me hooked and was looking locally for something more powerful fairly quickly. I found a single owner b8 s4 that had like 50k, and was at the same dealership that my dad worked at the bodyshop. The owner was an elderly professional, that he meticulously maintained. I scoffed at the auto transmission, but decided to go through with the test drive anyway. Glad I did, because I absolutely fell in love. Was obviously my first experience with a dual clutch auto. The powertrane was solid (while burning a bit of oil) up until 2 months ago, when I traded it in. It was painful, as I had grown attached to it, and had lots of memories. I did so because it turned 110k, and was starting to need more and more minor repairs, and also a costly starter. I knew it would wind up becoming a money pit, if I held out longer. Great car though

@3:25 "screwedup" youre a funny guy

I urge you to take a little more time and look at the Svo foxbody more it was definitely a better car all around. The lighter engine made it more agile and had a better weight distribution. It also had a better 0-60 time compared to its GT counter parts. Yes I will agree everyone who wants a mustang wants the V8 car but as much as I hate to say it v8 is a dieing breed with these gas prices and on top of the increased price of the vehicle making the current eco boost a great option sure its not as quick and doesn't sound as good but for what it is it's a very good car and enough power to satisfy the average consumer and I can ensure you it has more than enough power for street driving I've looked into modding my eco boost to match the power of stock gt but at the same time what's the point you can't legally use the extra power gains anyway it get me up to highways speeds no time flat so why do I need the extra power or worse gas mileage?
u missed the point. mustang drivers want the classic american v8, if u want better mileage and a turbo 4 plenty of sporty options. s3, focus rs, type r, c300, ats, golf, 230i, etc.
@@Axxys Actually Mustang drivers want that powerful ecoboost over the GT and it's reflected in the sales numbers.
🚀🚀⤴️⤴️📩✍️
@@Axxys ummm no, just some Mustang drivers want the V8. Besides, what's wrong with wanting a good looking body with a better MPG engine? not counting a very tunable engine.
@@airbomb34 yep. Wish people would stop comparing the Ecoboost with the V8... they are for different customers, and of course the sale numbers reflect that

The late model cheverlete 4.3 ltr engine is having problems recently too. I've had lots of em and I've had to replace accessories but never had any problem with the 4.3 ltr engine. Now I have a 2018 I've never had to replace an accessory or anything what is knocking can I change the oil religiously yes it has 180,000 Mi but I'm used to getting 300,000 Mi on a big engines. What what went wrong?
Here are some numbers for the V8 clowns.
From 1964 - 2010 V8 mustangs that's weren't a specialized performance version march1/cobra/shelby made less horsepower than any 4 cylinder ecoboost Mustang. Ecoboosts are more Mustang than decades of V8 Mustangs.
Deal with it haters.
🚀🚀⤴️⤴️📩✍️
The W12 (& W16) is set up like a VR6. Well I suppose 2 VR6's put together like a normal V6 or V8.
Pontiac Fiero noticeably missing
What? A Nissan versa is a bad car? I owned one for two years and never had any issues with it. I took it on several vacation trips from southern California to the Oregon coast. I ended up trading it for a Mercedes but somehow my cousin ended up with it and she's still driving it.
ChrisFix buy his dad his dream car just so he can make more repair video.
The Eco boost lasts forever is economical and faster than the v6 which was nonslouch. I worked for Chrysler in the early 2000s. The PT Cruiser was reliable If you serviced it, and we couldn't keep them on the lot! They somd like hotcakes. Great cars? No. But they were roomy and comfortable. They were Not one of the worst cars ever! Oh, they routinely lasted over 100k IF you maintained it! I owned a GT convertable and enjoyed it.
6:19 The cutouts show mostly R56 models and these have a PSA and not a Tritac engine, which incidentally does not make things better!
The early models up to 2006 had the Tritec engine, not the later 2000s models!
'Btw. the PSA engines are even more vulnerable than the Tritec engines and have significantly more teething problems!
The Tritec engines are good and regular service even very good and robust engines, which is due to the steel engine block!
The Freelander was just a Ford Escape/Mazda Tribute

Depreciation !
Yes on all 3 big time.
6:20 look if you don’t know much about Minis don’t talk about them please. You literally showed 2 different generations that’s have 2 completely different engines. The gen 1 has the tritec supercharged 1.6L i4 and it’s reliable (I been owning one for 2 years). The r53 engine can handle alot of boost too. The 2nd gen mini from 07 to 10 the engine was N14 which is an unreliable engine. I recommend staying away from the 07 to 10 cooper S. The 10 and newer R56 has the N18 engine which is more reliable.
He does a lot of that type of stuff where he just picks pictures or videos of the same type of car but it’s different generation, engine or trim and even shows like super modified cars when praising the unmodified version. And yeah it’s pretty annoying and makes it hard to take him serious when he does js.

@7:59 that’s NOT a Solara that’s a Lexus SC430 totally different class of vehicle……. Nothing in common except being convertible
a4 b6 pwme with 160k on 1.8t 20v still runs and drives just fine xD
L3-vdt eh, i wanted to swap it in my rx8 just because its HUGE displacement and because its mazdaspeed (i have mazdaspeed body kit installed on my red rx8)
i agree, that the eco boost should have never been made. Oh, could you ask why dear commenter? I am so glad that you asked that question. the reason why is simple. It's because the eco boost is not a real mustang like the v6 and the v8 are. The eco shares no heritage with the first mustang, which was an inline-six, yes and the v6 and v8 came shortly after. Also before you say actually the eco boost does have a heritage with the mustang, cause of the fo body sto. I am gonna stop you there and tell you no. the fo body for one isn't a real mustang either and doesn't even look like a mustang at all. In fact, the sto sold like dog shit also. back to the eco boost, the eco boost is also a terrible built car in so many different ways.
Ecboost puts out more horses than all V8 Mustang's minus some of the special performance based ones like mach1/cobra since 2010. It's literally more Mustang that the majority of Mustang's ever made.

i think having an ELR😅, swap out the motors and put a crazy turbo 4 cyl, or 4G-63 motor. The Cad just looks cool. Then i go race the Tesla with an engine. I don't even know why i'm thinking this, but dreams ...🤣🤣
What about Mazda RX8? They're unreliable
What age group is his comedy focused on? I think I’m too old to be here
I had a Pontiac trans sport v6 and never again, I had to tear off the inner cylinder head because of the exhaust leak (a bolt had gone off). Later, the intake broke, after that the gearbox began to malfunction and locked itself in overdrive. That with the gearbox I easily fixed by connecting a switch to the overdrive solenoid. Started leaking coolant inside the car due to the heater broke etc etc.
Got a fiat ritmo for about 100$ it I drove for a couple of months before it started to be a lot of different electrical faults.
So mustang eco boost made it to the list just because it's not a v8? That's wierd but ok.
Sorry I just don't agree with the mazda and ecobost

Weird video. Like why hate on an eco boost mustang. The mustang is Fords last car, they have to make it available to all demographics. So when your grandpa retires and decides he wants a sports car but rightfully has no business in a V8, he still has an option. It’s not bad or dumb…just this particular video
maserati quattroporte with the zf isnt a bad car tbh, zf is an smooth and reliable transmission and the f136 engine is also quite reputable as well surprisingly, its just the italian electrical issues that are the bigger issue usually

1994 Ford Explorer. Transmission failure at 84,000 miles
The Sebring coupe is as reliable as a similar year 3rd gen Eclipse…because it is one with better body cladding. I love mine.
I bought a Brand new Mazda 3 MPS in 2008, had it tuned to 310 hp, owned it for 10 years and NEVER had a problem with it, I just had it serviced at the main dealership every year and that was it, it was a great performance hatchback, I wish I still owned it, take care.
