I kept my 1984 Buick Riviera until 2004 when it had more than 450,000 miles on it, and the new owners had it for 3 more years after that. I miss that car.
It's the same in the uk , it's becoming harder to work on your own car even with a comprehensive tool kit they switch to wired size's or a new design torx .
I will stick with my 1998 V6 Camry. I have had it since 1999 no issues 250000 km. Best car I have ever owned , at 83 I have had plenty of cars since a young 17 year old so plenty of cars to compare it with.
You guys bragging about Japanese cars like it's something special. Every European car can do that, just do regular maintenance and buy diesel. Citoren C4 2013 1.6HDI 92bhp, 220000km and it had only one issue ( break light). I'm second owner, bought it in 2020 for 5,9k euros
On our 2nd Kia Soul. Traded a 2016 at 86,000 miles and our 2021 is at 113,000 miles with zero problems.. Frequent oil changes with fully synthetic oil..0ne brake replacement and now ready for second set of tires..
While driving my 2024 Ford Bronco Sport, I noticed that people were staring while I drove by. Gee, I thought to myself, this SUV must be quite good looking. So one day I asked someone why they were staring at my Bronco Sport and they replied "I'm just surprised to see one still running".
My ex got rid of our Bronco II because I Spilled milk on the upholstery. He must known it was junk and made me feel guilty I screwed up the seat back in the 80s.
I am retired now, presently driving a CRV, very reliable so far I have over 200 k. When I was still working I comuted 140 kilometres daily, I had two Ford Focus, putting over 400 k on both! Other than usual wear and tear no major issues. 😊
As a retired mechanic, I'm not surprised by any of these. The Korean models will probably improve but that will do nothing for the cars already sold. European cars are living off reputations made decades ago. VW fans point to the Beetle as a very reliable car but in reality, it was the simplest car ever built, fewer parts equals fewer breakdowns. Range Rover, look at used car sales, if they were any good there wouldn't be so many people trying to sell them cheap
You mentioned the Korean models. The problem with Hyundai and Kia, started when they started to assemble them in the U.S. I'm still driving my 1999 Hyundai Elantra station wagon. I bought it new, and have always done that non-American thing, called MAINTENANCE. My Elantra has 217,000 miles on it, and I just had it out today. Starts right up, runs smooth, doesn't use oil. It's been the best car I ever owned. But, it was built in Korea, not the U.S. The transmission did start to do weird things, when it had 186,000 miles on it. I had it replaced, and have done lots of long-distance trips since then.
It makes a lot of difference where the car is built/assembled cars built in Korea, Japan or continental Europe are usually better build quality then their counterparts with the same badge built elsewhere. Furthermore not all the cars on the list are designed to be used the way they are used in the U S , you don't expect a city car to be great at highway use.
Sadly it looks more like Chevy and Ford have lured them into their dungeon of shattered dreams. They, too are having the same problems, due largely to trying to cheap every part and design out.
I love watching these videos. It gives me comfort that I am keeping my 2005 Nissan Titan that has 250,000 miles on it. I’m going to try to get her to 500,000 miles. She is still running great.
Nissan was bought by Renault, a 13:42 French company in the early 2000's. Renault has never been known for reliability which is why Nissan has suffered in reliability since Renault bought them.
I loved the VW bug I once owned. It was a great car because it was simple. The only problem I ever had with it was that because of the salt air in Hawaii where I lived at the time part of the rear floor rusted away and occasionally the battery would fall through the floor and drag down the highway by the cables. Also anyone sitting in what was left of the back seat would catch a lot of road debris when driving on un-paved surfaces. I was truly a dependable car
Never get: 1. Turbocharged engine. They run extremely hot. Better to just get a bigger non turbo engine 2. Anything by Chrysler Jeep. Totally unreliable. 3. GMs cylinder shut off system. Owners frequently override this terrible feature. 4. Anything British. No surprise, Jaguar and Land Rover are dead last in reliability. Over priced junk.
Rich people lease the expensive german and british cars and drive them for a year and let the next sucker who wants to appear rich take on the burden of maintenance and repair.
No hybrid is going to see no 400,000 mile mark they are a combination of electric motor and gas or battery and gas...no cvt transmission either, only cars with pure gas engine with timing chains. I understand we need a better emission system.😂
@barbbielski3830 toyota has factories in Arizona, Texas, Kentucky and Baja Mexico. The parts are shipped there from Asia. Compare that to Ford, Chevy, DODGE, and GM which also assemble there cars in Canada, Mexico, and yes the U.S, but 90% of the parts come from China, and that includes the engines. You think you can buy American anymore? Do your homework.
Just let me buy a brand new 1968 SAAB 96 V4. That was the first new vehicle that I ever bought & drove it multiple times from Vermont to Texas and back while a lot of the interstates were still being constructed. That SAAB never failed me on the road & the only reason that she was retired was because of salt damage at 225,000 miles. I just need another 96 V4 with that excellent fuel mileage and superior durability with the safety that was built in at the time.
My 2018 Honda Odyssey had many recalls, about seven, and the last one they never got parts for repairing it. I was so glad when I sold it. I still have my 1973 Olds Delta 88 and my 2011 Ford Flex and both cannot equal the problems with that Honda!
Just bought Ridge line Honda hoping for the best all reports and reviews rated top notch. Thanks for your report. I’ll stay away from any of the cars mentioned.
I have a 1991 Honda Accord LX. 240K and it starts up every time. Best vehicle I ever owned. Car has been in warm weather 85% of the time. Body and interior very nice. No accddents and one owner. 👍👍
I got a Mitsubishi Outlander 23 because I've read they were reliable. I have a huge buyer's remorse. A few months in, the info system started to black out, the charging ports randomly stop working, and the volume buttons work with the radio but not the info system (Android Auto, Spotify, etc). The worst part is that I can't get it fixed under warranty because the dealership said they need Mitsubishi authorization first, and Mitsubishi doesn't get back for months, then says it's useless to replace it because all their systems have this problem. The reverse camera developed a few sec delay and now it blacks out in the middle of reversing and the camera option does the same. You get a new car hoping to save on repairs but it becomes a problem without a solution. It's also very heavy and weak. I had a 2007 Odyssey before - an old, vibrating car that I spent thousands fixing - and it still ran better than the 2023 Outlander in terms of horsepower. If my old Odyssey's ride felt as heavy I'd think it needed an oil change. It already has a grinding sound when turning a wheel - started before one year, under 10K - and one of the trunk buttons doesn't work. It rough shifts into the park - the car jerks back and forth so much when pressing the park button that it makes people car sick. Very restricted interior space. The third row does not fit adults at all, even a slim short teenager has no room for legs. I was so tired of eternal repairs of the old cars and wanted a break for a couple of years... tough luck. If I could go back in time, I would never buy it.
You can't believe all the adds. They will say anything to suck you into buying. Try looking at consumer reports. The only reliable record of how good or bad vehicles are.
@GeeEm1313 I went to the dealership to look at a Mazda they had. Surprisingly, it had none of the options it was supposed to come with. I noticed that the lift gate was manual and checked for front and back cameras - it had none - they are supposed to come standard. I asked if it was a fleet car, and they denied it and couldn't answer what options exactly were included. So I was leaving, having lost what little trust I had in their professionalism. The finance manager said it's the last day of summer, August 31, and the end of the day, and they need to sell one more car to meet requirements, so they'll give me a very good deal on a new Outlander. Mitsubishi has almost no marketing in the US. They mostly sell in Europe and Asia, so I didn't know much at all. I googled it right there and read that it was reliable. Assembled in Japan. The next day, the price went down $3000. It's not like the manager didn't know that the price would dive in a few hours. He was urging me to buy immediately, or I'll lose the deal. He lied. That's what they do at dealerships. I don't buy cars often, my previous one was from 2007. They also force everyone to buy a mandatory cleaning package, I forget the price, a couple grand on top. I don't want and don’t need it, and I suspect the majority of people hate the forced add-on, but you get no choice. Mitsubishi promised to release a software upgrade in October that might just fix all the problems with charging ports/dash/info center. I made an appt on November 4 and was not surprised at all that nobody heard of that upgrade. Do they ever tell the truth in the auto industry? I don't think so.
My Mitsubishi Mirage has 300,000km on it. Almost 0 repairs. My 2024 Outlander has 56k on it now. Works great so far. Had zero issue getting a small warranty issue resolved. Very good company to deal with.
@perryreed5010 True, the only way to completely do it is replace the lifters and cam for a complete delete, I think the probably of failure is lessened with partial delete of just turning off no statistical evidence just my thinking
I junked a 1988 Subaru Justy. The body rattled like crazy, and the seats were totally coming apart, but the engine and the drive train were like new at 225,000 miles.
I drive a 2022 Nissan frontier with 50,000 miles in it and still running and no problems at all, I use it for work, the only damage that it has, is that one day I washed it with a pressure washer and I damage the grill and back bumper by peeling off the film. Other than that….. very pleased with it.
For us Europeans, just avoid Ford Ecoboost, Stellantis, VAG, Nissan, JLR, Hyundai/Kia. I had a 2017 Seat Leon TDI and its unreliability was legendary, especially once I hit 80k miles. I replaced it with a Toyota Corolla 2.0 hybrid and other than servicing, the only thing I have replaced are the tyres. 61k miles so far, exemplary reliability. Thank you for this great video.
What is wrong with Kia they are very popular in the US now as they are more reliable and a bit less costly then the trash ford, gm and stellantis puts out.
Toyota is the best. My 2020 Corolla hybrid with 180,000 miles needed a water pump at 133k. Other than that everything is original including brakes and spark plugs.
I have a 1996 Buick Roadmaster State wagon collector's edition! New starter new transmission , new Opti spark system, battery, water pump! All the problems of the Buick Roadmaster have been figured out! ⭐❤️⭐ A new the transmission was going to go around 160,000 to 190,000 mil before it breaks down. Paid $2,200 for a total rebuild with extended warranty on it! In contrast my buddy just had a transmission and a starter totally replaced in his 2022 Ford explorer!🧐 electrical issues with the transmission! 😧😐
I'll stick with our 2004 Toyota RAV4 for now. With 225,000 miles done, she still purrs along like new. Although the rest of her is wearing out now, bless her. No unreliable issues what so ever. She's going to have to go next year and I'll cry!
@@johnrflinn Terrific 284k Honda CRV you have. Our RAV4 ac packed up years ago. Never owned a car with it before, here in England, it doesn't bother us!
We had 2011 & 2012 RAVs with the 3.5L V6 so we could tow small trailers. Both were great vehicles, largely reliable. We would probably still have the 2012 except the seats sucked for long road trips. Loved that ubiquitous 3.5L though.
I won't buy a vehicle with hybrid battery. Brand new Denali pickup truck at 5 months of ownership dealership had to send a vehicle to jump my battery. I scrapped it and drive a f150 4x4 stx. Had it 2 years now and I'm pleased with it
I have a 2012 Lincoln MKZ hybrid. It is the same mechanically as the Ford Fusion hybrid. I have 332,000 miles on it with the original engine, transmission, and hybrid battery. Hard to beat that.
Range Rover at number 1 was going to be a surprise? It’s exactly what I thought. A work colleague bought one new, it constantly breaks down and it’s only 2 years old. Terrible car make.
I have a 2019 Jeep Cherokee 66K miles and no issues so far. Crossing fingers. I have read that there are some owners that report Stall issues with this car. I did have one time where it stalled out, when I started it back up , noticed black smoke. Started pointing in Fuel with Fuel cleaners like you would find in Mobile gas no issues and the car starts with no black smoke! Trans is al pretty solid. Now my 2013 Ford fusion, that car sucked.
Honda and Toyota will always have my money. Having mechanical issues with today’s technology being this advanced. Nobody should waste their hard earned money on any of these unreliable brands.
@@mr.yessiirrSame here I swear by Hondas and Toyotas, I have owned both. My current car is a 2010 Honda Fit with 110000 miles nothing major has gone wrong with it. I have owned it 3 years and have spent no more than 300 dollars in repairs total so far. My first car was a 92 Tercel. I didn't even take very good care of that car and it just would go and go with nothing going wrong with it. It was the shitbox that never broke 🤣.
@@ShaunSavage-kl9pd I've got a ranger 01, it runs great but I have a former sister and brother in law that have sabotaged my cars because my dad left me his house. So, after pumping up tires, replacing batteries they ruined etc. I am now having trouble starting it because the security light is activated.
You got me beat. I have a 97 Ford Ranger 4 Cylinder 310K miles and runs great. I bought it new. It is no longer a daily driver, but it is a reliable member of the stable used for trips to Home Depot and when my son comes home from college.
I also love the old cars. 1968 Ford Cortina that I used for 25 years and then passed on to my oldest son. Nowadays if manufacturers made reliable cars they can not sell enough to make the most money. Still happy with my 2010 Sandero 186000 KM on the clock and not using any oil.
Bot my 2015 Hyundai Sonata new with all the bells and whistles. Probably the best car I’ve ever owned. Spent a total of $1,700 on 2 issues in 10 years: 1.) starter went out, $700 2.) small head gasket leak $1,000 a lot more involved than u would think but everything else including the bells and whistles function perfectly. Even the seats show little signs of wear. I love the car. I drive it hard but I keep it well maintained. When this one starts gives up the ghost I’m going to a Hyundai dealership first and hope the engine issues described in the video are resolved.
The best commuter car was the first Honda hybrid 2-seater. Was it the Insight? Cool car. The battery was Nickel-Hydride, I think. It got up to 60m per gallon. A friend had one. It was fun.
Told my daughter, who used to be a car salesman, I was considering a new Bronco and she told me she wouldn’t allow me to get one! Plus my brother is an expert Toyota mechanic, so I think he would’ve stopped me too. 😂😂😂I currently own a 2015 MKc Lincoln and love it. Had it for over six years with 65k miles on it with no major issues whatsoever. ❤
My Silverado is about to turn over 200K. Had an ignition issue a while back but it's running great now. Still don't have to add oil between oil changes, decent mileage for a full size.
My 2015 2500wt HD 6.0 is great. Bought at 26,000 miles. Has 137, 000 on the clock. Use it for towing a 20’ cargo trailer daily for retail delivery. All maintenance done on schedule. Barely uses oil every 7000 miles. Synthetic as long as I have owned it. Basic repairs and tires. Rust appeared on the wheel wells of the bed so I replaced it. Absolutely love this truck
Had the Infiniti QX50 and it was a nightmare. Stalling in the middle of traffic, stopping for no reason, not starting, electrical glitches, etc. Sold it back to the dealership within 2 years. Also, have a family member who has the Range Rover and had to go in the shop in the first few months due to oil leakage.
This is the reason I'll never buy a new car. I own 2 cars a 2005 and 2010 models. The 2005 model recently gave up the ghost. Instead of getting rid of it and buying a new one I fixed it. It saved thousands. The PCV got blocked which blew the oil seals and stretched my timng chain.I spent $6000 reconditioning the engine. Did the work myself. What I've found out about my 2 cars is the 2005 model was better built. The 2005 model was the basic model, a 6 cylinder alloytec. Whereas the 2010 was a LS V8 top of the line model, which cost $20,000 more. The LS has had electrical problems, the door arm rest has come apart from the door card and the centre consol arm rest lid is broken at the hinge. In 5 years the workmanship has deteriated that much. I hate to see how bad it is after 19 years.
$6K is quite a bit if you did it yourself. I wonder how much a shop would have charged. If the PCV valve was checked/replaced periodically, would it have blew the oil seals?
@@filippocorti6760 That's australian dollars. All aftermarket parts. Right down to headers and exhaust and upgraded cams. Changed everything. Everything that came off the motor a brand new part went back on. Even every sensor. The only thing from the motor kept were the crankshaft, piston rods, ECU, alloyheads and intake manifold. The most expensive parts were head rebuild kit close to $2000, cams $900 and tuning $850. Because I live in the middle of nowhere, I had to pay freight charges. Yeah, I wish I knew alloytecs had a PCV problem . Drilled bigger holes in the new one to assist in ventilation.
@justinkennedy5812 Yeah! Hindsight is such a great thing. Three years ago, my daughter bought her first car. Talked her into buying a VX Commodore for $1500. That ecotec is still purring along. Had problems with seat belts, window switch and door locks. But those were easy fixes.
I purchased a new 1995 Pontiac Sunfire with 2.0ltr 5sp manual transmission with all the options in September 1994. I've had the clutch assembly replaced 1 time. The engine and transmission have never been opened. I've replaced the fuel injectors 2 times. Replaced the usual brakes and suspension parts that wear out, as well as the 5 speed shifter linkage. As of today - at 30 years old and 294,786 miles - it starts with ease every time and purrs. We haven't sold or traded it because after 30+ years I want to find out how long it's going to last. I'm 70 years old, and I think it may outlive me!
Well I drive a 1960 Studebaker lark and a 1958 Chevy Belair .Bone stock original American designed and built real cars that the average working person could afford and repair , screw the car companies and screw their Big Government buddies who build all this overpriced pig iron.
I drive a 2007 Toyota Prado Landcruiser. Mileage now is 230,00 kms and I have never had a problem with this car. Uses no oil, purrs along. Petrol a/t is a bit pricey on petrol, but it is worth it as so comfortable, like taking your lounge couch with you for a driving seat. Wonderful car.
My first Volvo XC 60 was sold by me with 450 000 miles after 6 years and hit the 1 000 000 miles with his new owner ( still running) my second from 2017 ( old version on Ford Mondeo base with a 2.4 l diesel) has now 350 000 miles and still running sweet road and off road. My neighors downsized 2 litre Volvo XC 60 with 335 hp broke down after 16 month.
The Mirage has a 1.2 liter 3 cylinder engine and is not build for performance but as an eco car. It is a cheap car but it is reliable and comes with a 10 year warranty. I see more and more of these on the road in my area and owners are quite happy with them, especially the fuel economy.
You should really specify the years and specific engines or trans in a model are problems. Silverado and Sierra have been around for almost 25 years and some engine/trans combos are absolutely bulletproof.... some not so much.
Our 2020 Hyundai Elantra has 44k. 0 mechanical problems, only a rattling back package shelf when a passenger sits in back seat. Change oil max 5k and don't buy turbos any make.
I have a 2009 chrysler town and country. It runs very well with 127000 miles on it. I put 7000 miles on it in a year and a half. Changed the battery, plugs and wires, all the tires and the rear shocks. 120000 miles seems to be the major replacement mileage for regular wear and tear. I change the oil before the 3000 miles hits on my trip meter. Anything will last if you learn to take care of it.
I had the Land Rover Discovery for 13 yrs, the RR 2002 for 15 years (but running better w/o air suspension and still running) and now the 2016 RR Sport. The best things on these Rovers are their body strength, rust resistance, paint well sealed and still looks new and modern after 22 yrs. The interior leather is of great quality with no rips and the seat comfort last a long time while still comfortable for long trips. There is a lot to say about these Rovers that can not be said about other models and much less on Toyotas. Range Rovers are ultimate luxury vehicles with high quality exteriors and interiors.
I have a 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport. Paint and interior still in immaculate condition. It drives like a dream and I have only spent out on oil changes. Love it.
FYI, the Hyundai/Kia 2.0L engine was redesigned, IIRC for 2019, and don't have the problems of the earlier engines. However I would not buy a 2021 or earlier model because they are so easy to steal. The company finally equipped 2022 models with engine immobilizers.
I have and drive a 1955 Chrysler, it is more dependable than my newer cars plus it is so easy to tune and take care of. I wonder if they were to make an auto without all the bells and whistles which by the way half of us don't use, if it would sell--Just the basics thank you.
I bought a brand new Chevy Equinox in 2022, I am normally a truck man, but getting to old to get in and out of a truck, and I love my Equinox for a four cylinder turbo it just flat shxt and gets!!!!!!!!
My 2019 GMC AT4 has been extremely reliable and overall mileage is 18.5 mpg, when not towing, with the 6.2 V8. It has over 92k miles so far. It had a few minor recalls that didn’t affect reliability. What I thought was a major electrical problem, turned out to be a faulty battery. Consumer Reports needs to be recalled!!
Author of this blog missed one very important thing. Where each of this cars was made? I remember some 2000's Audi's listed at consumer's report as having common ignition problems. What they didn't say- those Audis were made in Mexico. When I spoke to some European guys who were driving German-made Audis they've never heard of such problems.
The mirage is very reliable. They didn't list any recalls or failures. Just low power. Well, it's a 3 cyl. Car. Duh. I had one for 135000 miles and it was great. Was like new when I traded it in.
The Mirage, while being a tin can on wheels, has a solid ownership following. These crazy cars can really go the distance, but be prepared for noisy interiors, slow acceleration and just being small. They are simple, easy to maintain and the CVT's installed usually last MUCH better than bigger vehicles with a CVT because they're so light weight. Just keep the fluid changed when you're supposed to. With the manual trans unit, they just go and go and go. These cars get crapped on, but they hold their own well.
I have 2019 Hyundai Elantra SEL. I have 175k miles on it. Except for transmission mount and engine mount, I had no issues. 1. Always oil change with full synthetic. I use kirkland 5w-20 with supertech oil filter. Basic oil change. Every 5k miles. 2. I drained and refilled transmission fluid 3 times after first 5k of my new car and put in AMSOIL OE Efficient Synthetic Transmission Fluid. Then every end of May and beginning of November, I drain and refill once. 0 transmission issues. 3. I flush out coolant twice everytime. I first drain old coolant and put in distilled water. Once I run it, then I drain out distilled water. And then I put in new coolant. 0 issues. I do this every 50k miles. 4. I use K&N air filter and K&N cabin air filters. I clean and re-oil both filters every summer since summer dries the wet filter and oiled filter quickly. 5. I replace spark plugs every 75k miles to ngk laser iridium. I had no problems with my 2019 Hyundai Elantra. This video is not accurate. I brought in my car three times for recall notice. But nothing was wrong. Third one was for anti-theft issues.
Live in the northern Midwest. Really like the Subaru Outback. Great in inclement weather. Comfortable. Reliable. Good gas mileage. It won't break any speed records though.
I owned a few Colt Mitsubishi mirage cars in the late 80s when I passed my test and they were so reliable and were basic but could take a battering from me as I was 17 and it never broke down and now how many different manufacturers have their fingers in the pie and they are just shit with so much electronic failures and I own a Toyota rav 4 2011 model and it’s solid and reliable unlike so many of my friends brand new cars
@@islandflow8650 lol I feel the pain as I live in the Orkney islands north Scotland and the same happened here as the salt air rusted the cars so bad the bodywork was rusted so bad we took the engines out and put in another colt 😊
I'll just keep my 1999 Toyota Corolla, with 325,000 km.s; it still works as if new. Only do regular oil changes, and good on gas. My 1999 Mercedes Benz ml320 ain't bad either--all wheel drive, it's a work horse, and bought it used, with 137,000 km at $4500.00.
This video brought to you by you local Toyota dealership. BTW 298,000 miles on a 1998 Isuzu trooper. 179,000 on a 2010 prius. Just a ABS computer problem at about 120,000. About the time I did the 1st set of front brakes. Also an older Wrangler with about 80 K but do have an issue with the ABS Computer on that. Other than that it has been good.
I decided to buy the Chevy Cruze LS "After" all the problems were repaired as I did the history search. I paid $5600 used and had 3 years. Never been in the shop. The previous owner live in the shop to my advantage
I would probably go 1. Toyo-Lexus 2. Mazda 3. Honda-Accura 4. Subraru Mazda has made great strides. Toyota does work with Mazda and BMW. Honda can have their issues and Accura may be a little better. Subaru are pretty good. GM, Chrysler-Stellantis-Jeep - avoid. Jeep V-6 Pentastar engines are horrible. VW - avoid. Sad because VW's diesels were pretty good but they had that software scandal. Nissan-Infiniti-Mitsu - no thanks. I think Nissan bought Mitsubishi. The Koreans? I would avoid. The lower end models have engine fires and problems. Working class and poorer people buy them for work cars and these Korean manufacturers let them down. The warranties are worthless. Anything 3 cylinder turbo or CVT transmission avoid.
I love my 2024 Wrangler, but ALWAYS buy the Mopar extended factory warranty for any Jeep vehicle. Just finished a 5,000 mile trip through the PNW - no problems. My wife has a 2021 Bronco Sport, and not a single problem in three years.
I bought new a kia soul sport in2009 as a 2010 model. I have never, in 45 years of driving, owned a better car than this. It just turned 96ooo miles, and I have yet to have ANY breakdowns or repairs. The worst thing I can say about it is the fact that it simply doesn't like snow.
I bought a 2011 ram longhorn , a beautiful truck. From the beginning the front brakes would over heat. They never got it right. I've replaced everything across the front several times ( not worn out) burnt up basically. It only has 125000 on it now and hasn't been driven a thousand miles a year for the past few years. The abs lights are on ( been replaced several times) the anti skid light stays on. A few times the left front brakes locked up. I pulled into a place and TH-cam to see if anyone else had the same problem. A guy had a video on his. He said he pulled the vacuum line off the brake booster and the brakes were released. I did the same and they backed right off, Air came out like an air compressor.
I got Toyota prius prime plug in hybrid is the best car I have ever driven for years. i haven't got any issue yet, over 145,000 km mileage , and I love safely featured. I've ever experienced Lexus its really good but its very cozy for gas mileage actually my mom doesnt care how much cost of her lexus but i still love my toyota prius prime i save gas mileage but most issue with my toyota prius prime gets break in and vandalized at the parking lot, i asked toyota to installed security camera and alarm more security sensor alarm .
I bought my 2016 Nissan Rogue in 2019 with 26,000 miles on it. Now in 2024, it has 71,500 miles. It usually gets 30 MPG. I have not had ANY problems. I replaced the tires at 70,000 miles. BEST car I have EVER had... So there is that. THINK FOR YOURSELF!
I have a 2021 Rogue with the 2.5 litre four banger. It's been reliable. I don't think however, I'm going to be getting the turbocharged 1.5 litre three cylinder. Probably go with a Toyota RAV4 next time.
Plastic does not belong in the engine bay. My brother had a fire in his 1974 chevvy. It needed only the replacement of the engine wiring harness and a paint job for the hood. A modern car is a write off if it has an engine fire because of all the plastic.
I just purchased a Chery Tiggo 4 Pro 1.5L with 10 year warranty for au 24.500,-Dollars, I didn't see it amongst the badies you've shown here and hope for the best for my sake, but thank you for highlighting these issues 👍
My car wasn't on this list. Still, I maintain my car. I have 280,000 miles on my 04 malibu. It needs transmission overhaul, $4000. I bought a basic car this year. So far, it's doing well, it better. American cars were bullitproof, and reliable. Wish American car companies would bring back the tradition.
I kept my 1984 Buick Riviera until 2004 when it had more than 450,000 miles on it, and the new owners had it for 3 more years after that.
I miss that car.
Range Rover is safest car on the road. Because you can't drive them. Always in the shop getting fixed! 😮
😂😂
and the most stolen cars
The Range Rover was Oprah's car of choice. That says it all. Don't listen to celebrity advice.
😂😂😂😂
😅😅😅
I miss the simple cars that you could do your own maintenance. My '73 AMC Gremlin, my '69 Olds Delta 88, and any Honda prior to 2000.
You mean ur dad did the maintenance ! lol
I loved my 1972 4 door 250 engine Chevy Nova!
@@melvinbennett444 no he taught me how to repair the gremlin and we would work on them together. It is one of my fondest memories of him ❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's the same in the uk , it's becoming harder to work on your own car even with a comprehensive tool kit they switch to wired size's or a new design torx .
The Hondas were great until they changed their engines. The 2.4 Dual overhead cams were fantastic
I purchased a 2017 Ford Fusion in 2019. I still have it. No regrets
2004 Lexus IS300. 430,000 km and still going strong. Zero issues just regular maintenance items, tires, brakes, etc.
Mitsubishi lancer 4wd 1999 1.6 liter. 300,000 km and still going.
If you can afford Lexus
@@phillipscott7198up front it cost more, but amortized over 21 years it’s probably the cheapest car to own and run we’ve ever had.
I will stick with my 1998 V6 Camry. I have had it since 1999 no issues 250000 km. Best car I have ever owned , at 83 I have had plenty of cars since a young 17 year old so plenty of cars to compare it with.
You guys bragging about Japanese cars like it's something special. Every European car can do that, just do regular maintenance and buy diesel.
Citoren C4 2013 1.6HDI 92bhp, 220000km and it had only one issue ( break light). I'm second owner, bought it in 2020 for 5,9k euros
On our 2nd Kia Soul. Traded a 2016 at 86,000 miles and our 2021 is at 113,000 miles with zero problems.. Frequent oil changes with fully synthetic oil..0ne brake replacement and now ready for second set of tires..
I have 2015 Kia Soul with 120,000 and 2020 Soul with 64,000. So far so good.
So, in my terms just run-in . You wouldn't expect problem with that mileage
Kia most reliable car in all their makes @@SusiesRepeat
@@Speedieroo-tz9gbexcept this video says 40k miles...
While driving my 2024 Ford Bronco Sport, I noticed that people were staring while I drove by. Gee, I thought to myself, this SUV must be quite good looking. So one day I asked someone why they were staring at my Bronco Sport and they replied "I'm just surprised to see one still running".
😂
Ouch, that's cold.
people are stupid
My ex got rid of our Bronco II because I Spilled milk on the upholstery. He must known it was junk and made me feel guilty I screwed up the seat back in the 80s.
Lol not even a year old and surprised still running lol.
I am retired now, presently driving a CRV, very reliable so far I have over 200 k. When I was still working I comuted 140 kilometres daily, I had two Ford Focus, putting over 400 k on both! Other than usual wear and tear no major issues. 😊
You are a nice driver to get 400000 out or 4 Cy car
As a retired mechanic, I'm not surprised by any of these. The Korean models will probably improve but that will do nothing for the cars already sold. European cars are living off reputations made decades ago. VW fans point to the Beetle as a very reliable car but in reality, it was the simplest car ever built, fewer parts equals fewer breakdowns. Range Rover, look at used car sales, if they were any good there wouldn't be so many people trying to sell them cheap
You mentioned the Korean models. The problem with Hyundai and Kia, started when they started to assemble them in the U.S. I'm still driving my 1999 Hyundai Elantra station wagon. I bought it new, and have always done that non-American thing, called MAINTENANCE. My Elantra has 217,000 miles on it, and I just had it out today. Starts right up, runs smooth, doesn't use oil. It's been the best car I ever owned. But, it was built in Korea, not the U.S. The transmission did start to do weird things, when it had 186,000 miles on it. I had it replaced, and have done lots of long-distance trips since then.
It makes a lot of difference where the car is built/assembled cars built in Korea, Japan or continental Europe are usually better build quality then their counterparts with the same badge built elsewhere. Furthermore not all the cars on the list are designed to be used the way they are used in the U S , you don't expect a city car to be great at highway use.
Interesting to note that Range Rover Landrover is the number one most unreliable brand after building such a reputation in the past
@@natashasakala2259 Agree everyone trying to sell their Range Rover.
The Kia Sportage is the best car I’ve had, and I’ve had a lot.
I'm grateful for the Toyota and Honda manufacturers. They forced manufacturers like Chevy and Ford to step up their game.
Yeap unfortunately now it's just tarrifs instead of getting better
Ah, no, they haven't.
Just buy a Toyota. 😂
Toyota and Honda have far more issues than they should, but they are definitely better than Ford or GM.
@@redtobertshateshandles THIS!!!!
Sadly it looks more like Chevy and Ford have lured them into their dungeon of shattered dreams. They, too are having the same problems, due largely to trying to cheap every part and design out.
I love watching these videos. It gives me comfort that I am keeping my 2005 Nissan Titan that has 250,000 miles on it. I’m going to try to get her to 500,000 miles. She is still running great.
Scott Kilmer says it's been a decent truck that year
I put 248,000 miles on a 1989 Sentra before rust overcame it.
Our 2013 Nissan Frontier has 235,000 miles on it, still going strong.
My 2013 jeep wrangler JK 184k going strong in 2024💪🇺🇸
Nissan was bought by Renault, a 13:42 French company in the early 2000's. Renault has never been known for reliability which is why Nissan has suffered in reliability since Renault bought them.
I loved the VW bug I once owned. It was a great car because it was simple. The only problem I ever had with it was that because of the salt air in Hawaii where I lived at the time part of the rear floor rusted away and occasionally the battery would fall through the floor and drag down the highway by the cables. Also anyone sitting in what was left of the back seat would catch a lot of road debris when driving on un-paved surfaces. I was truly a dependable car
I always thought I was the only person that had the battery😂😂😂😂 debacle
Never get:
1. Turbocharged engine. They run extremely hot. Better to just get a bigger non turbo engine
2. Anything by Chrysler Jeep. Totally unreliable.
3. GMs cylinder shut off system. Owners frequently override this terrible feature.
4. Anything British. No surprise, Jaguar and Land Rover are dead last in reliability. Over priced junk.
Well Said !
I'd just get a standard engine. Why bother with Turbo, not that you drive your car as a racing car with daily driving.
Coming soon: Anything from China (i.e. BYD)
Rich people lease the expensive german and british cars and drive them for a year and let the next sucker who wants to appear rich take on the burden of maintenance and repair.
Exactly what Mr Bentley said in 1927 shame his company now only produce twin turbocharged cars
You only have to look at number of Toyota Camry hybrids used as taxis. These cars are doing 400,000+ km and still going strong.
Hybrid though.
@@justaskmike4602
so what?
@ I suppose you’re right. The technology has gotten better.
as are Mercedes E class
No hybrid is going to see no 400,000 mile mark they are a combination of electric motor and gas or battery and gas...no cvt transmission either, only cars with pure gas engine with timing chains. I understand we need a better emission system.😂
I love that my wife and I drive 2 of toyotas' most reliable vehicles, the Tacoma and Rav4 hybrid. They aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for.
Well dave....give urself a big pat on the back. sheesh
Buy American
@barbbielski3830 toyota has factories in Arizona, Texas, Kentucky and Baja Mexico. The parts are shipped there from Asia. Compare that to Ford, Chevy, DODGE, and GM which also assemble there cars in Canada, Mexico, and yes the U.S, but 90% of the parts come from China, and that includes the engines. You think you can buy American anymore? Do your homework.
Yes, if you want an inreliable car.@@barbbielski3830
That’s what I love my American
Just let me buy a brand new 1968 SAAB 96 V4. That was the first new vehicle that I ever bought & drove it multiple times from Vermont to Texas and back while a lot of the interstates were still being constructed. That SAAB never failed me on the road & the only reason that she was retired was because of salt damage at 225,000 miles. I just need another 96 V4 with that excellent fuel mileage and superior durability with the safety that was built in at the time.
My 2018 Honda Odyssey had many recalls, about seven, and the last one they never got parts for repairing it. I was so glad when I sold it. I still have my 1973 Olds Delta 88 and my 2011 Ford Flex and both cannot equal the problems with that Honda!
Great report thank you
Just bought Ridge line Honda hoping for the best all reports and reviews rated top notch. Thanks for your report. I’ll stay away from any of the cars mentioned.
I have a 1991 Honda Accord LX. 240K and it starts up every time. Best vehicle I ever owned. Car has been in warm weather 85% of the time. Body and interior very nice. No accddents and one owner. 👍👍
I got a Mitsubishi Outlander 23 because I've read they were reliable. I have a huge buyer's remorse. A few months in, the info system started to black out, the charging ports randomly stop working, and the volume buttons work with the radio but not the info system (Android Auto, Spotify, etc). The worst part is that I can't get it fixed under warranty because the dealership said they need Mitsubishi authorization first, and Mitsubishi doesn't get back for months, then says it's useless to replace it because all their systems have this problem.
The reverse camera developed a few sec delay and now it blacks out in the middle of reversing and the camera option does the same.
You get a new car hoping to save on repairs but it becomes a problem without a solution.
It's also very heavy and weak. I had a 2007 Odyssey before - an old, vibrating car that I spent thousands fixing - and it still ran better than the 2023 Outlander in terms of horsepower. If my old Odyssey's ride felt as heavy I'd think it needed an oil change.
It already has a grinding sound when turning a wheel - started before one year, under 10K - and one of the trunk buttons doesn't work. It rough shifts into the park - the car jerks back and forth so much when pressing the park button that it makes people car sick.
Very restricted interior space. The third row does not fit adults at all, even a slim short teenager has no room for legs.
I was so tired of eternal repairs of the old cars and wanted a break for a couple of years... tough luck. If I could go back in time, I would never buy it.
I have never once heard that the Outlander is reliable.
You can't believe all the adds.
They will say anything to suck you into buying.
Try looking at consumer reports.
The only reliable record of how good or bad vehicles are.
@GeeEm1313 I went to the dealership to look at a Mazda they had. Surprisingly, it had none of the options it was supposed to come with. I noticed that the lift gate was manual and checked for front and back cameras - it had none - they are supposed to come standard. I asked if it was a fleet car, and they denied it and couldn't answer what options exactly were included. So I was leaving, having lost what little trust I had in their professionalism.
The finance manager said it's the last day of summer, August 31, and the end of the day, and they need to sell one more car to meet requirements, so they'll give me a very good deal on a new Outlander. Mitsubishi has almost no marketing in the US. They mostly sell in Europe and Asia, so I didn't know much at all. I googled it right there and read that it was reliable. Assembled in Japan.
The next day, the price went down $3000. It's not like the manager didn't know that the price would dive in a few hours. He was urging me to buy immediately, or I'll lose the deal. He lied. That's what they do at dealerships. I don't buy cars often, my previous one was from 2007.
They also force everyone to buy a mandatory cleaning package, I forget the price, a couple grand on top. I don't want and don’t need it, and I suspect the majority of people hate the forced add-on, but you get no choice.
Mitsubishi promised to release a software upgrade in October that might just fix all the problems with charging ports/dash/info center. I made an appt on November 4 and was not surprised at all that nobody heard of that upgrade. Do they ever tell the truth in the auto industry? I don't think so.
Rx8 ouch.....engine time soon ..drive in lioe grandpa would.
My Mitsubishi Mirage has 300,000km on it. Almost 0 repairs.
My 2024 Outlander has 56k on it now. Works great so far. Had zero issue getting a small warranty issue resolved.
Very good company to deal with.
I disabled my AFM fuel management on my silverado truck, the surprizing thing is it gets better mileage and doesn't get the bog down feeling
you avoided potential early lifter failures too
I was told I will still have lifter problems even with the AFM disabled
@perryreed5010 True, the only way to completely do it is replace the lifters and cam for a complete delete, I think the probably of failure is lessened with partial delete of just turning off no statistical evidence just my thinking
I junked a 1988 Subaru Justy. The body rattled like crazy, and the seats were totally coming apart, but the engine and the drive train were like new at 225,000 miles.
I love my 95 Toyota Tercel 30 years old as good as the day it was built in Japan don't build them like that anymore
No way that tercel survived rust. Nope.
Feel sad i had to sell mine!
I loved mine too!
Kia gives a 7 yr warranty in UK. They fix with no quibbles. What more do you want?
I drive a 2022 Nissan frontier with 50,000 miles in it and still running and no problems at all, I use it for work, the only damage that it has, is that one day I washed it with a pressure washer and I damage the grill and back bumper by peeling off the film. Other than that….. very pleased with it.
I hav a Mitsubishi Mirage MT 2014 model.
Still good, running with 100k+ mileage.
Still good.
For us Europeans, just avoid Ford Ecoboost, Stellantis, VAG, Nissan, JLR, Hyundai/Kia.
I had a 2017 Seat Leon TDI and its unreliability was legendary, especially once I hit 80k miles. I replaced it with a Toyota Corolla 2.0 hybrid and other than servicing, the only thing I have replaced are the tyres. 61k miles so far, exemplary reliability.
Thank you for this great video.
I have a 2013 Leon tdi well over 100.000 miles never had a moment's bother
What is wrong with Kia they are very popular in the US now as they are more reliable and a bit less costly then the trash ford, gm and stellantis puts out.
Toyota is the best. My 2020 Corolla hybrid with 180,000 miles needed a water pump at 133k. Other than that everything is original including brakes and spark plugs.
@@xcalibertrekker6693They are the easiest to steal.
Avoid Nissan? I have had my Qashqai for 13 years. Mind you I did have to change the battery this year.
What the hell is going on with modern cars?? These companies must just go bust and spare us the pain.
They're designed to last only until the warranty expires.
I have a 1996 Buick Roadmaster State wagon collector's edition! New starter new transmission , new Opti spark system, battery, water pump! All the problems of the Buick Roadmaster have been figured out! ⭐❤️⭐ A new the transmission was going to go around 160,000 to 190,000 mil before it breaks down. Paid $2,200 for a total rebuild with extended warranty on it! In contrast my buddy just had a transmission and a starter totally replaced in his 2022 Ford explorer!🧐 electrical issues with the transmission! 😧😐
I'll stick with our 2004 Toyota RAV4 for now. With 225,000 miles done, she still purrs along like new. Although the rest of her is wearing out now, bless her. No unreliable issues what so ever. She's going to have to go next year and I'll cry!
Hahaha 2022 RAV4 (4 cylinder) with 135,000 and drives like new. 👍
Same goes for my 2002 Honda CRV at 284K miles. The AC unit was the only problem area.
@@johnrflinn Terrific 284k Honda CRV you have. Our RAV4 ac packed up years ago. Never owned a car with it before, here in England, it doesn't bother us!
We had 2011 & 2012 RAVs with the 3.5L V6 so we could tow small trailers. Both were great vehicles, largely reliable. We would probably still have the 2012 except the seats sucked for long road trips. Loved that ubiquitous 3.5L though.
My son bought me a 2024 RAV 4 for Christmas last year. I just love her, the only problem I have with her is you can't keep her clean.
I won't buy a vehicle with hybrid battery.
Brand new Denali pickup truck at 5 months of ownership dealership had to send a vehicle to jump my battery. I scrapped it and drive a f150 4x4 stx.
Had it 2 years now and I'm pleased with it
My 2011 Prius (hybrid) has 162k miles and zero problems (except tires need to be replaced).
I've got a 2010 Ford fusion hybrid with 157k miles on it and still going strong.
I have a 2012 Lincoln MKZ hybrid. It is the same mechanically as the Ford Fusion hybrid. I have 332,000 miles on it with the original engine, transmission, and hybrid battery. Hard to beat that.
Range Rover at number 1 was going to be a surprise? It’s exactly what I thought. A work colleague bought one new, it constantly breaks down and it’s only 2 years old. Terrible car make.
I'm always amazed that people will spend huge on money a vehicle without spending 15 minutes online to check it out.
It's amazing if you think about it 🤔 Like we live in an era of easy information, but hardly anyone seeks it out to find the truth
I have a 2019 Jeep Cherokee 66K miles and no issues so far. Crossing fingers. I have read that there are some owners that report Stall issues with this car. I did have one time where it stalled out, when I started it back up , noticed black smoke. Started pointing in Fuel with Fuel cleaners like you would find in Mobile gas no issues and the car starts with no black smoke! Trans is al pretty solid. Now my 2013 Ford fusion, that car sucked.
I remember when "infotainment system" meant you had a banging set of speakers with a thumping bass.
i fondly remember my Jensen Triaxles that i bought at Kmart. good times.
The Volvo xc60 you mention is from 2017 onwards, my 2015 version is rock solid and I’ve had it 10 years or so
Thanks for the video
Honda and Toyota will always have my money. Having mechanical issues with today’s technology being this advanced. Nobody should waste their hard earned money on any of these unreliable brands.
What type of car has no issues and if God would have made a car how would it be? I think we might use a bicycle instead
Agree absolutely!
Just bought a Toyota RAV4 after being a loyal Nissan owner. Nissan lost me with their crappy Rouge.
Honda ain’t what it used to be. Sad 😢
@@mr.yessiirrSame here I swear by Hondas and Toyotas, I have owned both. My current car is a 2010 Honda Fit with 110000 miles nothing major has gone wrong with it. I have owned it 3 years and have spent no more than 300 dollars in repairs total so far. My first car was a 92 Tercel. I didn't even take very good care of that car and it just would go and go with nothing going wrong with it. It was the shitbox that never broke 🤣.
I drive a 93 Ford ranger 4 cylinder. 375 thousand miles runs great. Bought it in 1996 for 2000 dollars

@@ShaunSavage-kl9pd I've got a ranger 01, it runs great but I have a former sister and brother in law that have sabotaged my cars because my dad left me his house. So, after pumping up tires, replacing batteries they ruined etc. I am now having trouble starting it because the security light is activated.
I had a 1995 ford ranger just as good as my 87’ Toyota pickup with better gas mileage
Congratulations
You got me beat. I have a 97 Ford Ranger 4 Cylinder 310K miles and runs great. I bought it new. It is no longer a daily driver, but it is a reliable member of the stable used for trips to Home Depot and when my son comes home from college.
I also love the old cars. 1968 Ford Cortina that I used for 25 years and then passed on to my oldest son. Nowadays if manufacturers made reliable cars they can not sell enough to make the most money. Still happy with my 2010 Sandero 186000 KM on the clock and not using any oil.
Bot my 2015 Hyundai Sonata new with all the bells and whistles. Probably the best car I’ve ever owned. Spent a total of $1,700 on 2 issues in 10 years: 1.) starter went out, $700 2.) small head gasket leak $1,000 a lot more involved than u would think but everything else including the bells and whistles function perfectly. Even the seats show little signs of wear. I love the car. I drive it hard but I keep it well maintained. When this one starts gives up the ghost I’m going to a Hyundai dealership first and hope the engine issues described in the video are resolved.
I love it by American
The best commuter car was the first Honda hybrid 2-seater. Was it the Insight? Cool car. The battery was Nickel-Hydride, I think. It got up to 60m per gallon. A friend had one. It was fun.
Thanks for the video 👍🏻
Told my daughter, who used to be a car salesman, I was considering a new Bronco and she told me she wouldn’t allow me to get one! Plus my brother is an expert Toyota mechanic, so I think he would’ve stopped me too. 😂😂😂I currently own a 2015 MKc Lincoln and love it. Had it for over six years with 65k miles on it with no major issues whatsoever. ❤
My Silverado is about to turn over 200K. Had an ignition issue a while back but it's running great now. Still don't have to add oil between oil changes, decent mileage for a full size.
My 2015 2500wt HD 6.0 is great. Bought at 26,000 miles. Has 137, 000 on the clock. Use it for towing a 20’ cargo trailer daily for retail delivery. All maintenance done on schedule. Barely uses oil every 7000 miles. Synthetic as long as I have owned it. Basic repairs and tires. Rust appeared on the wheel wells of the bed so I replaced it. Absolutely love this truck
Had the Infiniti QX50 and it was a nightmare. Stalling in the middle of traffic, stopping for no reason, not starting, electrical glitches, etc. Sold it back to the dealership within 2 years. Also, have a family member who has the Range Rover and had to go in the shop in the first few months due to oil leakage.
This announcer gets the job done in just a few words, unlike the other car reviews, where I hear the word untiltarin once too often.🎉
Thanks for information
This is the reason I'll never buy a new car. I own 2 cars a 2005 and 2010 models. The 2005 model recently gave up the ghost. Instead of getting rid of it and buying a new one I fixed it. It saved thousands. The PCV got blocked which blew the oil seals
and stretched my timng chain.I spent $6000 reconditioning the engine. Did the work myself.
What I've found out about my 2 cars is the 2005 model was better built. The 2005 model was the basic model, a 6 cylinder alloytec. Whereas the 2010 was a LS V8 top of the line model, which cost $20,000 more. The LS has had electrical problems, the door arm rest has come apart from the door card and the centre consol arm rest lid is broken at the hinge. In 5 years the workmanship has deteriated that much. I hate to see how bad it is after 19 years.
$6K is quite a bit if you did it yourself. I wonder how much a shop would have charged. If the PCV valve was checked/replaced periodically, would it have blew the oil seals?
@@filippocorti6760 That's australian dollars. All aftermarket parts. Right down to headers and exhaust and upgraded cams. Changed everything. Everything that came off the motor a brand new part went back on. Even every sensor. The only thing from the motor kept were the crankshaft, piston rods, ECU, alloyheads and intake manifold.
The most expensive parts were head rebuild kit close to $2000, cams $900 and tuning $850. Because I live in the middle of nowhere, I had to pay freight charges.
Yeah, I wish I knew alloytecs had a PCV problem . Drilled bigger holes in the new one to assist in ventilation.
@@tomjohnson1110 Thanks.
If you went by or earlier,you would've had the ecotec and $6000 still in your pocket😎
@justinkennedy5812 Yeah! Hindsight is such a great thing. Three years ago, my daughter bought her first car. Talked her into buying a VX Commodore for $1500. That ecotec is still purring along. Had problems with seat belts, window switch and door locks. But those were easy fixes.
I purchased a new 1995 Pontiac Sunfire with 2.0ltr 5sp manual transmission with all the options in September 1994. I've had the clutch assembly replaced 1 time. The engine and transmission have never been opened. I've replaced the fuel injectors 2 times. Replaced the usual brakes and suspension parts that wear out, as well as the 5 speed shifter linkage. As of today - at 30 years old and 294,786 miles - it starts with ease every time and purrs. We haven't sold or traded it because after 30+ years I want to find out how long it's going to last. I'm 70 years old, and I think it may outlive me!
Well I drive a 1960 Studebaker lark and a 1958 Chevy Belair .Bone stock original American designed and built real cars that the average working person could afford and repair , screw the car companies and screw their Big Government buddies who build all this overpriced pig iron.

I drive a 2007 Toyota Prado Landcruiser. Mileage now is 230,00 kms and I have never had a problem with this car. Uses no oil, purrs along. Petrol a/t is a bit pricey on petrol, but it is worth it as so comfortable, like taking your lounge couch with you for a driving seat. Wonderful car.
One problem is the bias for performance. Extracting power comes at the expense of reliability.
My first Volvo XC 60 was sold by me with 450 000 miles after 6 years and hit the 1 000 000 miles with his new owner ( still running) my second from 2017 ( old version on Ford Mondeo base with a 2.4 l diesel) has now 350 000 miles and still running sweet road and off road. My neighors downsized 2 litre Volvo XC 60 with 335 hp broke down after 16 month.
Our 2013 Cadillac XTS with excellent maintenance had the engine crack at 88,000 miles on Sept 27, 2024.Really pissed us off.
Cadillac is the worst rated luxury brand and overall GM brands rate poorly
Anything with a turbo or turbos on them in the way of cars and trucks are not going to last that's just the sad truth!
The Mirage has a 1.2 liter 3 cylinder engine and is not build for performance but as an eco car. It is a cheap car but it is reliable and comes with a 10 year warranty. I see more and more of these on the road in my area and owners are quite happy with them, especially the fuel economy.
That’s all you need now in the UK with all the 20mph speed restrictions 😂😂
You should really specify the years and specific engines or trans in a model are problems. Silverado and Sierra have been around for almost 25 years and some engine/trans combos are absolutely bulletproof.... some not so much.
Our 2020 Hyundai Elantra has 44k. 0 mechanical problems, only a rattling back package shelf when a passenger sits in back seat. Change oil max 5k and don't buy turbos any make.
Turbos generally are only a problem if you don’t use the proper weight of oil and you don’t change oil frequently enough.
I have a 2009 chrysler town and country. It runs very well with 127000 miles on it. I put 7000 miles on it in a year and a half. Changed the battery, plugs and wires, all the tires and the rear shocks. 120000 miles seems to be the major replacement mileage for regular wear and tear. I change the oil before the 3000 miles hits on my trip meter. Anything will last if you learn to take care of it.
I had the Land Rover Discovery for 13 yrs, the RR 2002 for 15 years (but running better w/o air suspension and still running) and now the 2016 RR Sport. The best things on these Rovers are their body strength, rust resistance, paint well sealed and still looks new and modern after 22 yrs. The interior leather is of great quality with no rips and the seat comfort last a long time while still comfortable for long trips. There is a lot to say about these Rovers that can not be said about other models and much less on Toyotas. Range Rovers are ultimate luxury vehicles with high quality exteriors and interiors.
I have a 2016 Land Rover Discovery Sport. Paint and interior still in immaculate condition. It drives like a dream and I have only spent out on oil changes. Love it.
Good to know that my 2020 Kia Sorento and 2022 Kia Sorento X-line model is not there. Thanks
FYI, the Hyundai/Kia 2.0L engine was redesigned, IIRC for 2019, and don't have the problems of the earlier engines. However I would not buy a 2021 or earlier model because they are so easy to steal. The company finally equipped 2022 models with engine immobilizers.
I have a 2019 KIA Sorento, with the V6. I wouldnt have bought the 2.0 because of engine problems... No problems with the V6.
@@kirkbullard4302V-6 have always been strong & reliable
I wouldn't buy any Kia or Hyundai
Does the new 24/25 Tucson still have problem with gas getting into oil?? Appreciate if u know? See Uribe videos about 2015-2020 models???
Kia can miss me. I got rid of mine and will never buy another. They look nice, and have features. But, they don’t last long. Never again.
I have and drive a 1955 Chrysler, it is more dependable than my newer cars plus it is so easy to tune and take care of. I wonder if they were to make an auto without all the bells and whistles which by the way half of us don't use, if it would sell--Just the basics thank you.
Keyboard clicks and background music is unnecessary and distracting
😂😂😂
I bought a brand new Chevy Equinox in 2022, I am normally a truck man, but getting to old to get in and out of a truck, and I love my Equinox for a four cylinder turbo it just flat shxt and gets!!!!!!!!
Thank you for letting me know.
My 2019 GMC AT4 has been extremely reliable and overall mileage is 18.5 mpg, when not towing, with the 6.2 V8. It has over 92k miles so far. It had a few minor recalls that didn’t affect reliability. What I thought was a major electrical problem, turned out to be a faulty battery. Consumer Reports needs to be recalled!!
I purchased my Gen 1 Honda CRV with 150,000km on the clock, and I've had trouble free driving after putting another 10,000km on it.
Author of this blog missed one very important thing. Where each of this cars was made? I remember some 2000's Audi's listed at consumer's report as having common ignition problems. What they didn't say- those Audis were made in Mexico. When I spoke to some European guys who were driving German-made Audis they've never heard of such problems.
1997 Volvo V70 2.5 TDI is the definition of reliability!
The mirage is very reliable. They didn't list any recalls or failures. Just low power. Well, it's a 3 cyl. Car. Duh.
I had one for 135000 miles and it was great.
Was like new when I traded it in.
The Mirage, while being a tin can on wheels, has a solid ownership following. These crazy cars can really go the distance, but be prepared for noisy interiors, slow acceleration and just being small. They are simple, easy to maintain and the CVT's installed usually last MUCH better than bigger vehicles with a CVT because they're so light weight. Just keep the fluid changed when you're supposed to. With the manual trans unit, they just go and go and go. These cars get crapped on, but they hold their own well.
Toyota Tundra , I've had it for 7yrs and it been very reliable. My es 350 Lexus is also very reliable.
We didn't have none of these problems back in the 60s, 70s, & 80s Vehicles. Maybe its time to go back to the old ways
I absolutely love my 2010 Range Rover Supercharged! Super reliable and "Serious Black" is quite possibly the best vehicle I've ever owned! #cheers
Awesome to look at in the mechanics lot😂
My 2007 had 7 recalls, but runns good since I have it, besides being noisy inside I like it .
My 15 year old rust free PANDA is still running great would not swop it it's also yellow and cant loose it in large car parks.
I have 2019 Hyundai Elantra SEL. I have 175k miles on it. Except for transmission mount and engine mount, I had no issues.
1. Always oil change with full synthetic. I use kirkland 5w-20 with supertech oil filter. Basic oil change. Every 5k miles.
2. I drained and refilled transmission fluid 3 times after first 5k of my new car and put in AMSOIL OE Efficient Synthetic Transmission Fluid. Then every end of May and beginning of November, I drain and refill once. 0 transmission issues.
3. I flush out coolant twice everytime. I first drain old coolant and put in distilled water. Once I run it, then I drain out distilled water. And then I put in new coolant. 0 issues. I do this every 50k miles.
4. I use K&N air filter and K&N cabin air filters. I clean and re-oil both filters every summer since summer dries the wet filter and oiled filter quickly.
5. I replace spark plugs every 75k miles to ngk laser iridium.
I had no problems with my 2019 Hyundai Elantra. This video is not accurate.
I brought in my car three times for recall notice. But nothing was wrong. Third one was for anti-theft issues.
This is why I won't get rid of my 2000 Toyota sienna! 25 years young and still going strong! Over 200,000 miles!
Live in the northern Midwest. Really like the Subaru Outback. Great in inclement weather. Comfortable. Reliable. Good gas mileage. It won't break any speed records though.
I owned a few Colt Mitsubishi mirage cars in the late 80s when I passed my test and they were so reliable and were basic but could take a battering from me as I was 17 and it never broke down and now how many different manufacturers have their fingers in the pie and they are just shit with so much electronic failures and I own a Toyota rav 4 2011 model and it’s solid and reliable unlike so many of my friends brand new cars
Parents had late 70s dodge (Mitsubishi) Colt over 100K miles , lived in Hawaii car rusted out before car ever had problems 😅
@@islandflow8650 lol I feel the pain as I live in the Orkney islands north Scotland and the same happened here as the salt air rusted the cars so bad the bodywork was rusted so bad we took the engines out and put in another colt 😊
Owned Jaguars for 16 years, 5 of which was an f-pace. All ran without issues, great cars.
you got lucky
I'll just keep my 1999 Toyota Corolla, with 325,000 km.s; it still works as if new. Only do regular oil changes, and good on gas. My 1999 Mercedes Benz ml320 ain't bad either--all wheel drive, it's a work horse, and bought it used, with 137,000 km at $4500.00.
This video brought to you by you local Toyota dealership. BTW 298,000 miles on a 1998 Isuzu trooper. 179,000 on a 2010 prius. Just a ABS computer problem at about 120,000. About the time I did the 1st set of front brakes. Also an older Wrangler with about 80 K but do have an issue with the ABS Computer on that. Other than that it has been good.
I've had 6 Volkswagens (4 jettas) since 2004 and never had any issues. And I drive my cars hard.
The ones made in Mexico fail at around 50,000 miles. Window motors, seat motors, engine controller.
I still drive VW Polo 2004, still runs fine...
Similar here. Had a Jetta 2015 TSI (1.8). 0 issues, traded it in at 160 K kilometers. Now driving the golf. 108K, knock on wood
Even here in the heart of Europe, folks who know cars know full well that German cars, particularly Volkswagens, are junk.
Maybe because you replace your car every few years your cars are not seeing the test of time a reliable car does.
I decided to buy the Chevy Cruze LS "After" all the problems were repaired as I did the history search. I paid $5600 used and had 3 years. Never been in the shop. The previous owner live in the shop to my advantage
Subaru, Honda and Toyota make the best vehicles
they all have their issues too
Absolutely !!
@Kevin-rx8cw agree qnything newer than around 2015 is a no buy for me, over priced over engineered , many have problems from day one.
I would probably go 1. Toyo-Lexus 2. Mazda 3. Honda-Accura 4. Subraru
Mazda has made great strides. Toyota does work with Mazda and BMW. Honda can have their issues and Accura may be a little better. Subaru are pretty good.
GM, Chrysler-Stellantis-Jeep - avoid. Jeep V-6 Pentastar engines are horrible.
VW - avoid. Sad because VW's diesels were pretty good but they had that software scandal.
Nissan-Infiniti-Mitsu - no thanks. I think Nissan bought Mitsubishi.
The Koreans? I would avoid. The lower end models have engine fires and problems. Working class and poorer people buy them for work cars and these Korean manufacturers let them down. The warranties are worthless.
Anything 3 cylinder turbo or CVT transmission avoid.
Sabbs are real good too but I'm Sold on Subaru!
I love my 2024 Wrangler, but ALWAYS buy the Mopar extended factory warranty for any Jeep vehicle. Just finished a 5,000 mile trip through the PNW - no problems. My wife has a 2021 Bronco Sport, and not a single problem in three years.
Imagine spending $55-85k for what turns out to be a money pit
I bought new a kia soul sport in2009 as a 2010 model. I have never, in 45 years of driving, owned a better car than this. It just turned 96ooo miles, and I have yet to have ANY breakdowns or repairs. The worst thing I can say about it is the fact that it simply doesn't like snow.
Why is there a Renault Kadjar in the thumbnail if it isnt in the video??
they just need to bla bla bla ,even no Renaults in US .
is that a car or just a pile of junk?
To give you enough reason to block the channel and never see it again 😂😂
I bought a 2011 ram longhorn , a beautiful truck. From the beginning the front brakes would over heat. They never got it right. I've replaced everything across the front several times ( not worn out) burnt up basically.
It only has 125000 on it now and hasn't been driven a thousand miles a year for the past few years. The abs lights are on ( been replaced several times) the anti skid light stays on. A few times the left front brakes locked up. I pulled into a place and TH-cam to see if anyone else had the same problem. A guy had a video on his. He said he pulled the vacuum line off the brake booster and the brakes were released. I did the same and they backed right off, Air came out like an air compressor.
I got Toyota prius prime plug in hybrid is the best car I have ever driven for years. i haven't got any issue yet, over 145,000 km mileage , and I love safely featured. I've ever experienced Lexus its really good but its very cozy for gas mileage actually my mom doesnt care how much cost of her lexus but i still love my toyota prius prime i save gas mileage but most issue with my toyota prius prime gets break in and vandalized at the parking lot, i asked toyota to installed security camera and alarm more security sensor alarm .
I had a 1991 Volvo 740 for many years. It was so reliable. I only ever replaced tyres, part of the exhaust and the battery.
I bought my 2016 Nissan Rogue in 2019 with 26,000 miles on it. Now in 2024, it has 71,500 miles. It usually gets 30 MPG. I have not had ANY problems. I replaced the tires at 70,000 miles. BEST car I have EVER had... So there is that. THINK FOR YOURSELF!
I have a 2021 Rogue with the 2.5 litre four banger. It's been reliable. I don't think however, I'm going to be getting the turbocharged 1.5 litre three cylinder. Probably go with a Toyota RAV4 next time.
My 2019 Honda Accord Sport is running nicely. So far, happy with it.
Not to mention all of the plastic parts in vehicles.
Plastic does not belong in the engine bay. My brother had a fire in his 1974 chevvy. It needed only the replacement of the engine wiring harness and a paint job for the hood. A modern car is a write off if it has an engine fire because of all the plastic.
Even the current Toyota Tacoma now has plastic valve covers!
I just purchased a Chery Tiggo 4 Pro 1.5L with 10 year warranty for au 24.500,-Dollars, I didn't see it amongst the badies you've shown here and hope for the best for my sake, but thank you for highlighting these issues 👍
My car wasn't on this list. Still, I maintain my car. I have 280,000 miles on my 04 malibu. It needs transmission overhaul, $4000. I bought a basic car this year. So far, it's doing well, it better. American cars were bullitproof, and reliable. Wish American car companies would bring back the tradition.
Malibu is In its last year. G M wants to make more electric cars
My Suzuki Sidekick 4-wheel drive sport has just turned 228,000 Mi and running strong
