ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 9 มิ.ย. 2024
- Sure, every luxury car is cheap to own while you have a warranty, but what about 3 years, 5 years, or even 7 years after the car was purchased? What are the most reliable luxury cars then? Today, I have 5 luxury cars that will keep the money in your pocket and your car out of the shop.
These are the cars with the lowest cost of ownership, the fewest days in the shop, and plain old the best luxury cars you can buy if you're looking for reliability.

Yes, yes we ALL know this: A Toyota or a Honda. 🙂 However, life is short and no one wants to drive a Camry for 15 years. Please do a "best of the rest" most reliable. Exclude Toyota and Honda completely and give us the top 5.
Great idea
That is so true! When I was deciding on buying a car, my practical side was thinking of a Honda Accord. But my other half was saying you only live once. Considering my age and budget I was surmising this will probably be the last car I'll ever own. As much as my conservative side told me that the Honda was my best bet, I went with my heart and brought a Bright Yellow (Hate boring, conforming colors) Camaro RS. Best decision I ever made.

Ain't that the truth!
So basically you wanna see top 5 money pits.
Still didn’t prove him wrong about the video
My aunt has a '98 or '99 Lexus LS 400 with about 300k miles. It's been maintained, but never fixed 🙂
That says a lot
They are GREAT cars
Nothing wrong with driving a 23 years old car. I feel lucky I don’t have to drive such old car with old tech, outdated safety rating.
@@EastWood2004 I have a LS 400 , 1998 it's a tank ,every car that has hit me in the last 13 years of ownership have come off worse ,with bits of body all over the place 🤣🤣🙏
@@mrg21659 Larger mass would help the passenger protection as a truck driver is safer when it collides a smaller car like tax or 4wd. However it's NOT necessarily safer when you drive and collide towards a big tree or bridge etc, let alone, its stability control is old tech so it's more dangerous to drive in bad weather.
Life's too short to drive broken cars; Buy a Lexus!
Haha
Yah buy a Toyota with a Lexus badge and fall asleep driving
Toyota! Cars for non drivers
Lexus is lame..esp the IS models
@@gennaromontagna9482 haha me even dint like to set in Europen car bro because they are garbage.u don’t believe on them whenever they can breakdown on road
@@jldp24 Get the RC F outta here with that comment.
Thanks for doing a review on this type of vehicle Mark. I have to place reliability as my first choice now that I've entered the first couple of minutes in the 4th quarter of life, and still try to maintain your excellent motto that life is too short to drive boring cars.
Ain't that the truth! My practical side wanted me to buy a Honda Accord because of it's reliability, but at my age I wanted a fun car too. So ultimately I went with my heart this time and bought a Camaro V6. More reliable and less costly than a V8 but way more power and style than a boring Honda. Bright yellow too. Love it!
@@bobsebring2819 Nice!!! The V6 has plenty of horse power and is definitely more practical than the V8. I've owned 3 Z28's in my early life.
Mark
Beautiful descriptions
My dear friend recently bought an Acura RDX sh awd I helped her search for the best small SUVs and the RDX was an amazing find ( and we watched many of your videos to help us decide then we rented the finalists for 2 weeks each ) you were right on with your details and specs. We drove a number of your fine choices and anyone of them would be a great car. My friend chose the RDX for all the different textures and stitching 🧵 attention to diver and passenger comfort while maintaining performance and reliability
This video is extremely helpful for all car owners to know about.
Keep up the outstanding work we love the videos.
Best wishes always from Las Vegas Craig

Bravo 👏🏻
Hi Mark, thank you for making such a great content, I have been looking at the new 2023 BMW M240i. Can you kindly share your opinion on that one. Appreciate.
Thanx for the list of BEYOND 300K miles. I agree with your list and it was cool that u also gave interior looks of the vehicle's too👍👍👍
Enjoying the content. Ty !
Thank you very much for the support
I love watching all of your videos with so much great information!! Thank you for the all of the advice and what you do. With that being said, I wanted to ask you about the BMW X3M40i. I bought a new 2022 model in April and would really appreciate your thoughts on the reliability of this SUV and in particular the 3.0 inline turbo 6.
Thanks for the support and I will start by saying they you bought one of their best vehicles on the current lineup. I reviewed this vehicles a couple years back and really loved it. I found the handling a little odd with a dartiness at highway speeds but generally very sharp handling overall. The engine feels stout in this vehicle and in the X5 it would feel just adequate. Overall a great drivetrain and much fun tech in that car and love the latest I drive and the cool mood lighting features. The B58 in that vehicle is the best engine right now and is proving to be a significant update for BMW i terms of reliability and the fact Toyota has adopted it for the Supra also confirms some of what I have experienced. I will not say it will be problem free and with higher miles I would start to anticipate coolant and oil leaks as we typically find, but it’s the best chance of reliable motoring in the BMW brand.
I appreciate the detailed response and yes I agree about the same engine just being adequate in the X5. I like those as well and test drove the X5 but it was too big and from everything I find in my research, the X5 is just not as reliable. Funny you mentioned the same engine in the X5 that the X3 M40i has because I test drove the M240i a couple of years ago and that thing is a beast! Lots of fun to drive but a little coupe wasn't for me. I believe that the M240i has the same engine as my X3M40i. I traded in my 2020 X2M35i in April on the X3 and have to say that the X2 was a blast as well especially in sport mode but didn't like the turbo lag. I don't really notice the turbo lag in my new X3. Have to say that it kinda stinks how everyone is going to CVT tranys now along with 2.0 turbo 4's. IMO, the jury is out as far as how reliable all of the turbo 4's will be even with Toyota. Curious to see how the turbo's last in the years to come. I guess I have the mindset now that I just want fun vehicles to drive and will just trade them in a few years before the warranty is over. Thanks and have a great weekend.
I just sold my RCF. Traded it in for a RX. I didn't want to, but starting a family...
I bought the RCF over a year ago and got back what I paid for it. I'll miss that V8 😢
Awesome car the RCF with the rumbling V8. Definitely one of Lexus’s shining stars
I just got an RCF in December and LOVE it
@@allenzillmer1917 Great car, quite the head turner. Enjoy it!
The model of the Acura RDX shown in the vid was the 13-18 RDX model with 3.5L V-6 6AT, and no sh-awd for that model run (just CR-V based awd). The 19-23 Acura RDX had the 2.0T, 10AT, and sh-awd option.
Love the RC350 F Sport. Had the identical car and color combo. It wasn’t the fastest car on the road, but man, it was a beauty. I really miss it.
What year Acura MDX to you recommend on buying? I have looked at 2017, 2019, and 2020. I prefer a 2022 because of the new transmission (10 speed) and new interior styling but out of my budget. What do you consider a fair price to offer a dealer based on year. Example price for 2017 with tech. pkg, 2019 with tech pkg, 2020 with tech pkg. I'm avoiding the 2018 years because of what have be reported in consumer report having issues with the transmission.
I enjoy your channel. The first I had heard about the Genesis.
Thanks for watching
I was thinking about getting the rc350 but was thinking about parts and we're they hard to find . What are your thoughts on lexus rc350?🤔‼️
Thanks for your nice review......
Thanks for the watch Ted. Have a great day.
I really love that Lexus with the red interior, really sharp 👌
Yes the RC is great
Thanks for sharing
You are very welcome
I enjoy watching all of your educational car videos. Your obvious love of cars comes through loud and clear in all of your cheerful,enthusiastic presentations.
Thanks,and please keep up the great work,good Sir !
Thank you so very much for the continued support
I.m 6'4" 325 lbs, 2 knee replacements and a fused neck. I currently drive a Ram 2500 cummins and want something comfortable, fast, and fun. I can wrench pretty well too.
Hi Rob, yes there are some great options out there but I would think more luxury for the compliant ride.
I just purchased a 2023 Lexus IS 350 F Sport AWD. I did add ceramic coating & 3M Tape bra. The finance got me to buy the Lexus Tire/Wheel coverage. I have a 6 speed not an 8 speed. The caviar color is really sharp.
Hyundai/Kia needs to figure out this engine fire issue they keep having .just have had another massive recall on cars and SUV .They have been having this issue for years now I have researched.They are telling people to park there vehicles outside.
By now everyone should understand what they are getting themselves into and asking for if they buy KIA/HYUNDAI.
Toyota and Lexus also have had recent recalls due to engine fires as well. This has been an issue for decades yet you and I will say that they are one of the most reliable brands out there today.
All those references to the LC500, why wasn’t it the number 1 choice? Certainly was for me! An old school but hi-tech v8 with surprisingly good economy that will last 20+ years, no regrets until my aging body can’t get in and out of it. 😢Still, best car I ever owned or ever will.
So I guess my 2021 330i didn’t make the list 🤣😂🤣 even when you had a picture of a bmw as a thumb nail pic lol 😂🤦🏾♂️ YOU CRUSH MY DREAMS LOL
Let's get into it now!
I Love that RC I don’t care how slow and heavy it is.
It’s still a nice car
I own a 2001 Honda s2000 with 192k miles -- driven hard. A 2002 4Runner with 169k miles -- the workhorse. 2009 Lexus ISF with 105k miles -- luxury missile and also driven hard. A 2011 Lexus IS350 as the daily. Excluding regular maintenance like oil changes, valve cover gasket on the s2000 and 4 runner etc... ZERO PROBLEMS!!!!!!!
For those who are curious, That Lexus coupe is called the RC. It shares it's engines and , If I'm not mistaken, it's platform with current IS. Feel free to correct me if that's wrong.
That’s what I also understand but it’s still a great car.
The RC, especially the RCF look so much nicer and handle a tad better than the IS.
Yes, in fact the Lexus IS, GS and RC are the only models built on the Toyota New N Platform. A specific Lexus platform as no other Toyota model share that specific platform.
You seem to love everything. I love my 2020 Chrysler Pacifica. 276,000 mile and original brake pads. Never been down except to replace plugs, twice.
Nice. But 2020 with 276,000? That’s a lot of miles in 2 years.
I don’t believe you
I own a 2012 Lexus ES350 59K miles engine/transmission/leather fit & finish epic smooth
Absolutely
You introduced the Genesis the same way one’d introduce a heavy set friend before they ask, “can we share a row boat?” Lol😂
The Acura Integra, in its 2nd and 3rd years, was a very good car. Remember the Acura NSX? Why did it disappear?
The fly attacking you for loving on the Genesis was my favorite part 🤣
Haha, cheers.
Hey, Curious as to what your thoughts may be on the Cadillac XT4 :)
Cadillacs are generally considered unreliable. Their interiors are cheaper than other premium brands Many of them have the 3.6 l, which is one of the most unreliable GM engines. Electronics are problematic.
That fly that made its presence in the video is funny.... Now it is one of the most broadcasted flies on youtube 😁
Haha, they show up at the least opportune times.
Hey Mark,
What do you think about the 2022/2023 MDX type S
I think they are great, love the style and looks of it. Jury is not outburst on reliability but as a Honda I would imagine things are going to be solid. With that said I have heard of some glitchy electrical troubles so worth looking into.
Love from Dubai
Thank you. Hope you are also having An amazing weekend.
OT: Does anyone know if Honda’s done anything to get on top of the 1.5 oil issue or are they just going with it as is?
Well….
Toyota and Honda both perfected that three and a half liter V6
That last Lexus is very sharp.
I agree
BMW and MERCEDES for weekend fun, ACURA and LEXUS for the long haul.
True
@@ECPP I had a 94 Acura Legend & sold it 15 yrs ago & it's still on the road . I now drive an 04 RL with 200, 000 miles& it's still a beast on the road.
I would love to have one of these great vehicles
Some nice ones indeed
At last Genesis gets a mention. Their new interior for 22 and 23 is totally different to the one you showed. The 3.3TT/3.5 TT and the 5.0 V8s are great too
Is the interior in the 15-16 and later model that bad? Never saw one live, but from selling ads and also this video, it looks pretty good. Also the design looks much better than the whole Lexus line, that's still the 90s lol. I think Hyundai copied a lot from Audi, especially A7/A8, for the Genesis.
@@sivu22 No the interiors for the time were great. I have a 2018 G80 Sport and agree it does look similar to the Audis. But I am a fan of the looks.
Cheers
I'd like to mention the new powertrain in the 2023 G90 might be promising, since it's both multi port and direct injected
I still can't figure out if that is a G80 or a G90 he was showing.
I have a Honda Accord so you know I am a Honda lover, but I just can’t understand how the fully loaded Acura Tlx Type S is the same price as a scat pack widebody, and like you said life is too short to drive boring cars.
Haha, nice, there is a point and when a car is amazing to drive, there is always a justification
@@ECPP exactly
The Lexus LS430 engine was once considered for an airplane!
Just a correction. You mentioned the Lexus is350 was RWD but the truck lid has a AWD badge. Unless you were talking in genera about the model not that one specificaly
Good catch but yes they default as a RWD and primary drivetrain is from the rear with the front as an additional contrary to the Toyota
Well my last 5 cars have been Honda, most recently the FK8 ( soon to become the FL5 ). All of which have been extremely reliable, yes a few minor glitches but nothing major. Did you win the bug fight 😁😁
Absolutely great work horses . Cars without issues are always great to have around indeed
a very dumb post... (Well my last 5 cars have been Honda) does it mean they did not LAST? Look at this... my father bought a FORD TEMPO 3L V6 in 1993 (29 yrs ago) and I took it over from him 9 yrs ago.... Now the car has 504K km in it still runs like a dream... ( I did not need to buy 5 Ford Tempos)....
@@canadapainter658 What is dumb is your reply, if we are going to throw immature insults. I changed my vehicles regularly every 4yrs. Maybe you understand now.
I have a 2004 RX 330 with 89K miles it has to be the most boring vehicle to drive in the world , but I do smile when I pass auto shops with BMW Mercedes and Audi in for repairs.
True. For a daily it’s perfect. Still need a hot rod for the weekends
Well this is a topic we don't see often about luxury cars...
I dream of owning a Porsche GT4rs / turbo or Lexus LC500. I feel, even though they’re pricey, both cars are reasonably attainable
For sure and both great choices for their own reason
I drove a 2015 BMW 335i for several months before I traded it in for a Camry Hybrid for better mileage but thought it was a very solid car.
They are solid and fun to drive, but it’s the fragile parts and pricey labour that stings
I definitely don't like the Lexus "big mouth" but if it will run 500k miles trouble free I could forget it...
True, they do run for a long time. Always something great about that. Fun factor is the true measure of owner enjoyment though.
And, no doubt, well known as the only automobile that was inspired by the front of a locomotive.
And equally as tough.
The paint work was poor so the outside of the car fell apart sooner than the inside of the bonnet.
Blimey apart from a couple of Lexuses most of those would bore me to death! I think I'd rather take a dose of unreliability and drive something more interesting instead, as you mentioned life is too short to be driving boring cars!
That’s true. I will share a list of true best cars from a drivers perspective as in what are my faves to iwn, regardless of reliability
what do you think of a porsche macan base? Will it last 100,000 miles?
Absolutely will. Great vehicles
@@ECPP Thanks what is your opinion on Genesis GV70?
As the luxus-brands from to Toyota and Honda I'm not surprised to find them in a liability list. But I'm pleased to hear that of a Hyundai brand (Genesis). The model shown reminds a little to Mercedes (front) and BMW (rear). Without looking stolen/reverse engineered. And all that for less than half you'd pay for the German cars. (driving an w211 from 2k8).
shalom from Germany
Post Scriptum: new drinking game: every time you hear the word gorgeous have a shot... :)
Depending on the publication, Genesis could be considered unreliable. I love the look of them, though.
I've got that same Genesis, 4 years now and humming along with 50K. A couple of issues. Battery and starter failed. and had a water leak in trunk. Otherwise it has been reliable . One thing irks me though. If you want remote start, you must subscribe for $200 a year. This gets you a buggy phone app which fails 75 % of the time and requires pressing through 5 pages on the phone to get a start. Then a 2 min wait. (at which point if fails to remote start 3 out of 4 times.
Sounds like a disaster on that remote start. Simple wins the race on that type of tech
Genesis can add remote start to your fob now. Its $1000 one way or $1200 CAD for two way. That's in Canada
Only buy a car with port injection (NO GDI) . No CVT trans. And definitely NO turbo . You are welcome .
Thanks CVT is crap. Direct injection has its issues but Turbos make a car fun to drive
@@ECPP Until the gdi coke smashes the turbine and plugs up the cat with debris over-heating the engine to destruction .You can have it . I buy the bigger engine .
every single car was asian.... what if someone like me wants european luxury ........... plz make a video on the most reliable european luxury vehicles.........they have a feel of their own and with reliability they gonna rock.
They are not reliable tho like at all lol
In Seattle, the Lexus IS 350 would, literally, house five people.
Beautiful car.
Haha, true Thomas. It’s a very nice car as well.
30 years ago the current corolla size was enough for 5 people family.
Of course Honda & Toyota are front & center, I've owned Acuras since 2012 & I currently drive a 21 Tlx Type-s
If Toyota is brave enough to put a B58 in their Supra, I think it’s fair to say that all BMW’s with that engine (properly maintained) is fairly reliable!
That’s a fairly safe assumption, however one thing to consider is that most Supras would not get miles out so there is less concern of issues becoming exposed and I would ask the question why Toyota does not use the B58 in other more Mai stream cars.
Perhaps BMW puts their own hoses and connections on that engine.. So, you know, it would constantly remind you that it's still a BMW after all.
@@thomashelm6931 agreed lol, there are also many other components to a car than just the engine as well, but I’m still willing to risk it!
TY,,,,,,WOW 1st class incredible very interesting super kool ,1st class great info.,, AAAAAAAAAAA++++++++++++ again great video I liked it a lot ,keep up the great work
I have 2006 2.8 cadillac cts with 207,000 miles and still running strong.. Biggest expense has been the water pump
Mazda is about to rip the luxury department to shreds with the cx 90 and 70
“Only $65.000” for the Honda …….only in Canada ….Oh Canada
Agreed, we get screwed here
The AWD Lexus is a 6 speed.
I love ours
Very nice vehicles
The model of the RDX you presented is not turbo charged.Get your facts correct. It's the newer models from 2020 that are turbo charged
Yes I vaguely mentioned out being the out of date car.
Don't forget about the Mercedes 2011 to 16 e350 are reliable as well as the GLK with the same motor.
No, they are not.
5 cars from Acura, Lexus and Hyundai. Reliable? Most likely! Luxurious? Definitely! Are they in synch with the slogan "life is too short to drive boring cars"? Not really 😑 ...
I'd argue Lexus and Acura along with some of the newer Hyundai and Kia sedans are still competitive cars in the sports car world.
@@freewilly5073 I meant the models featured in the vid. I own a 6 Series coupé (E63), an XF sedan (X250) and an MX-5, therefore I believe in the slogan.
Life is too short to spend at the mechanic several times a month.
@@TruthFLA Fortunately it's not the case with the cars I own, even though they're not Lexus / Acura.
@@zsb707 the cars on this list are the least likely to spend time at the mechanic. Thats it

Haha, right?
I was thinking about bmw,benz,audi etc
Yes upcoming
The Lexus RX 350 is currently the most reliable luxurious crossover in the world.
Indeed
The MDX is nice and their certified warranty is great, but the dealer services are pricey. The Lexus GX460 will last forever and won’t cost an arm and a leg for service especially when getting the certified warranty.
You are absolutely right
Hyundai and Kia are on a list of least dependable cars - also included is Genesis. Best to consider Consumer Report rather than individual experiences as they can vary!
M760 or s63 amg 5.5 🤔
Please review a BMW 1series
You bet
Lexus is no 1 and there hybrids are awesome.
Cheers
I'm going to buy a luxury SUV but I work so much barely will drive it . Maybe the weekend
What about Mazda?
Reliable yes, luxury no
Problem with a lot of luxury cars is people buy more than they can afford and blow off the maintenance to save money. The second owner pays the price. My wife’s 10 year old Mercedes is rock-solid, only scheduled maintenance and two replacement batteries. Meticulously dealer-maintained according to the recommended schedule. Go figure. Btw, modern Lexus grills are hideous.
Cheers
Still the most reliable brand out there…
Yet you never mention the model or mileage, nor the ridiculously expensive oil changes and such. Lexus resale value says it all. Game, set, match.
@@gregpst77 model and mileage are not particularly relevant. Country of manufacture is, since MB manufactures worldwide…get a German-built one. Just like Toyota fans tilt towards Japan-built models. Some performance quality is mileage related, but much is also age-related. I don’t buy cars for resale value - remember I said it’s ten years old? Yes, maintenance costs factor into overall cost of ownership, but it’s sofa-cushion change for me. You may have missed my point…irrespective of brand, there is an inverse relationship between preventive maintenance and reliability. Have a great day.
@@gregpst77 facts old Lexus still cost a lot while you can find Benz everywhere for under 26k
Lexus just always seems to be the best for reliability
i agree with u 🚗
Cheers
cheer up yo u
Honda Accord, especially if you were wise enough to get the manual.
For sure a. Great setup with the stick
Mercedes AMG, Porsche 911 Turbo and BMW M series cars.
Thanks
What up with the asian cars
Why they last 🤷🏻♂️🤷🏻♂️
✌🏻🇩🇿
Jeez, you need a video for THAT?
Lexus period.
No valet parking attendant has ever parked an MDX or Alexis in the front of their restaurant. But they have parked my $38,000 Porsche and they have parked my $20,000 Mercedes out in front for people to look at.
Nice
Who cares 😂😂
What year was that RDX?
….
In my humble opinion, Acura does not make "luxury" vehicles.
Thanks
I heard that Lexuses are favored among boomers. I hope they include defibrillators with every new Lexus purchase, for the boomers and for younger drivers whose heart stops from lack of excitement. “Life is too short to drive boring cars”???
Haha
Waiting for the top five sports cars to buy and avoid.
You bet
But what years Acura MDX
Well
The 14-20 MDXs is the previous gen before being updated for +22 Models. Depending on the year, you have the base, tech, Advance, Aspec, Sport Hybrid, fwd, sh-awd, 6AT, 9AT, or 7DCT (hybrid only).
The fear of maintenence is what stops me from buying a submarine..
That is a real concern
and the Sub standard quality...

Thanks.....how about the "Car Guy"
I don't think that bee liked that Genesis, that was classic
Haha, true
No BMW. 😫
Well….
Most Americans don't know what they are missing Not driving six speed manual equipped cars, Just my OPINION of course. 🧐
I wonder how that Lexus would hold up Smashing into a Deer, It happens alot where I live Unfortunately.
Stick shift is truly the best driving experience
I'd like to note that the Genesis isn't as reliable as it looks or sounds. I recommend avoiding for long term ownership. Short term only.
Thanks for sharing
How long did you own your Genesis for? Also interested in the year and model
@@Blue-moon12 I've owned my vehicle for 4 years, and it's a 2016 3.8 Premium.

Hyundai will not last as long as a Toyota or Honda.
Doubt it
Even scotty kilmer said a genesis had cam wear at 100k when a lexus will never have such issues so early.
@@sunilayya8948 Scotty 🤣🤣🤣 says it all. Genesis are reliable. Genesis as a brand have only been out since 2017. Hyundai Genesis is different.
There are many Hyundai vehicles out there that have 300,000 or more miles on them with the original transmission and engine. I would say that they are just as long lasting as Toyota and Honda provided that they are well cared for.
