My dad had 4 subarus on EJ engines. First one was on ej20 series and 3 next were on ej25 turbo series. All of them passed more than 200k and only one of them had a problem with gaskets, BUT it was because of him tuning it incorrectly. Eventually he got to servise ON IT and technicians fixed the problem. It was 11 years ago.

Regarding Sti, the engines are as performant as their engineer's could do and keep it reliable. Then someone xomes aling screwing with rhe intake and exhaust and even ECU and boost pressure and wonder why an already highly strung engine explodes.
I just posted something similar. Don't screw with the STI if you don't know what you're doing and it'll last as long as you take care of it. Don't buy an STI without expert inspection.

I guess I'm one of the rare ones that have had a great experience with the 5.4. I bought my 2000 f150 from my dad when I was in highschool. My dad is the original owner of the truck and to this day I'm still driving it. Other than basic maintenance the only things I've had to do it is replace the radiator, heater core, blower motor, water pump and a small oil leak. It just hit 348,000 miles while still rocking the original engine and transmission. Doesn't smoke or knock at all and no transmission slips either. Runs and rides smooth. My friends that are mechanics have told me I'm really lucky that I've gotten so many miles out of it with only minor repairs done to it. I'm going drive her till she quits and probably rebuild her lol.
he was talking the 05 body style lmao. my dads 05 was in at the shop every month at the end of him owning. the 2000 ran with some common manifold issues but kept going strong. BUT my dad also pulled an oversized camper for multiple years so he was definitely the reason his 05 had so many issues lol
I got a little 07 Hyundai Accent hatch with quarter a million miles it’s been bullet proof. Long as you keep the rubber timming belt in good shape I think it will run forever. Parts are super cheap to not that it’s needed many. Just normal stuff plugs tires brakes.
The Altima is what I call a 50/50 car half of them you beat the shit out off and they just keep happily chugging along. The other half breaks just by seating in it
You can make an Altima a bit more reliable by doing the following (but not limited to): 1. Change A/T fluid every 35k kms (earlier if only city driving). 2. Install an aftermarket transmission cooler. 3. VQ is a good engine but needs proper oil and service interval. 4. Stock suspension is bad...go for good aftermarket ones or even coil overs.
Yes the R56 minis and the classic minis are known to be unreliable, but the F56 is most definitely an exception. The new B48s in them are very reliable, they have improved massively since the R56. But people don't know the difference, because in the end it is still seen as just a mini and therefore grouped with the previous models, with their terrible reputations for reliability. My conclusion is that F56s are VERY reliable, R56 and backwards, not so reliable.
@@DirtyDan77 Well, that does depend on how rich u are. But if u have a decent amount of money, I don't see why u shouldn't buy a new one, my mum had one from 2015, 75k miles, flawless in terms of reliability

@@Josh-qm4rb more reliable than the other minis isn't a very high bar. But if they fixed those horrid electric issues, and the build quality is better, then maybe it would be worth it, and I could save up enough money for the ungodly price of the parts.
Correction, the RX8 had the last suicide doors on a production CAR, not a production VEHICLE It died in 2011 (alongside the Element), but the FJ Cruiser had them as well and it died in 2014
We own 3 vehicles. My wife’s car is a 19 Outback ( Gutless 175hp, 2.5 naturally aspirated), 23K miles. My car is a 19 Forester ( Peppy 182hp, 2.5 naturally aspirated) , 6K miles. 11 Ford Ranger XLT super cab 4X4 (4.0L V6 ), 35K miles. We’ll have to eventually replace the Outback after my wife retires and I’ll drive my Forester probably until I die. We plan on letting our family fight over the Ranger after we’re dead and gone. We LOVE our Subie’s and recommend them to Anyone !
The comments on these types of videos always kills me. "I have a Fiat with 678 000 miles on it and it's still going strong!" People don't seem to understand that there can be an exception to the rule.
For real. I'm seeing multiple RX8, Fiat, and Jeep owners here bragging about going 100k miles without an engine or transmission issue. That isn't the flex they think it is...
The 2.7t Audi engine was originally a 2.8t but it was bored out and filled with cast iron. It is one of the most reliable engines there is and I would know because I have one that’s closing in on 200k miles with a stage 1 tune on it and I haven’t done any major repairs. It’s all about taking care of it.
Your one vehicle is anecdotal evidence. Empirical data shows that those engines are not reliable. Your one car vs the millions of vehicles with that engine.
I like how the title says "surprisingly" unreliable and yet it was no surprise at all. Range Rover? BMW? Nissan? So obvious. I thought there would be some cars that were a real surprise.
My wife has had a mini for quite some time. It is a second generation of the new ones and was purchased used with low kms. The car is now 8 years old and the only thing that I have to say about its maintenance costs is that the brakes went at 30k. Aside from that, oil changes is pretty much all we had to do.
@@MultiBeast301 We bought the car used and I have no idea who had it before, but I do know it sat a lot and was in the garage for the winter as they used it as a summer car. So, I don't know what would have caused the brakes to finish that quickly, however, the second set is fine and past 40k. I wouldn't not buy a car because the brakes didn't last particularly long, there are simple and relatively cheap upgrades that come in many different fashions to choose from if, indeed, it is a manufacturer's shortcoming. I definitely do not pick a car based on that. The Mini is an absolutely fantastic car. As far as my experience goes, only Japanese cars will go 80/100k kms before needing brakes.
Anyone can afford a BMW, not everyone can afford to maintain a BMW. My favorite Yugo story is about the time my 4 year old daughter was riding her bike around the block. I was walking with her. She saw a Yugo parked in a neighbor's driveway and asked "Dad, is that a real car?" I didn't know what to say (Lol!)
My friend had E60 M5 for about 15 years now he bought it brand new in 07 and had done 120k miles on it he is a literal car geek and he maintains his cars like no one even a single bolt should be to perfection and he always use expensive or genuine parts and never had any rod bearing issues they were weak when he hit 80 85k miles but he replaced them and now at 120k it still works like charm
I bought my corolla in 2010. 12 years later, all i ever do is change oil and spark plugs. Your friend still spends a ton of money on the car, and that's bad. A car isn't meant be breaking for doing what it was literally created to do.
@@erickail8979 does corolla does 0 to 60 in 4 sec or does it sounds like an F1 car or does it handles like a little sports car or is it as comfortable as a luxury yacht or can you cruise on 150mph?
I have an rx8. The engine is very unreliable if you treat it like a piston engine but everything else about the car is solid. If you treat them like a rotary they are just as reliable as any other car. I daily drive it in the warmer half of the year and I daily drive a saturn in the colder and salty half of the year. I've had some issues with the saturn over the years and not one with the rx8.
I have also daily driven my RX-8 (Series 2) for the past 7 1/2 years with no problems at all. If you know how to treat a rotary engine, it can last as long as most cars.
Also an owner of a series 2 RX8 (2009) for 11 years here - Buyers do need to realise that rotary engines are not as bad as people seem to say on a lot of these channels (That especially seem to buy beat up RX8s which haven't been treated well, and then proceed to complain about them). I've put around 160K KMs on my R3 as a daily driver in 11 years, and have only had the following repairs - Water filled taillights (Fixed with new gaskets and some sealing work, classic RX8 problem though), ignition coil/plug/lead replacement at 90K Kms (They do seem to degrade a little quicker in rotaries compared to piston engines), fixing the AC compressor and condenser (Another common RX8 issue), and the Takata airbag recall (Which was fixed by Mazda). Other than these, and your regular services which sometimes entail fluid flushes and filter replacements, my car has had the same sort of repairs a piston engine would. Any sort of engine rebuild is nowhere in sight with compression healthy, but I might do a seal / O Ring replacement around 200k KMs (120K Miles) mainly because I want to street port this car, so we have to take it apart anyway. Of course I do all the other stuff that you should do to your rotary like redlining, doing my own oil changes, letting the car warm up properly, and turning it off after reaching optimal temperature. Love the rotary platform, I have a FD efini as well and an E30 that's been 13B swapped. The FD has had some issues with the turbos (No apex seal wear though as we found out when we street ported it) - But this one is a weekender with fewer miles than the RX8. I've personally had no major issues with any of these cars and the platform. I feel like too many of these RX8s ended in the hands of people who didn't know about rotaries - fortunately some of these great cars have ended up with enthusiasts who understand this platform, and will take care of these cars for life.
I have a 2010 altima and just started having issues with the trans after 200k miles. I heard about the cvt trans being problematic but hadn't experienced it. I bought it in 2010 so I'm not mad at all.
@@TinoMiller I own a 2012 Altima with 108,000 miles. Not a bit of trouble with the CVT. I change the CVT fluid every 30,000 miles. Maintenance is the key to making these transmissions last.
My E39 lasted 189,000 miles. Gave it to someone and they drove it to 290,000 miles before that person got rid of it. Those M52 engines are tanks. My friend had an early Q7, it sucks. The ride was harsh for a luxury SUV.
You're gonna come up off my sti, they aren't unreliable, people just don't know how to maintain them and highschool kids get them and beat the absolute shit out of them and go "oh my god this cars so unreliable" and Subaru DID fix their headgasket issues, I've never seen a wrx STI with a bad headgasket when it was replaced when it was supposed to be replaced lol
It's like that meme with the guy riding a bike and sticking a rod in his spokes before flipping, and then crying 'Damn head gaskets!' This TH-camr has the most punchable face...
You need to add the 1.4L turbo Chevy Cruze to the list. I've never seen any car develop coolant leaks like the Cruze does. You also need to add the money pit that is the Chevy Traverse/GMC Acadia/Buick Enclave to the list.
@@gagejernigan5277 I can name but one exception: W bodies using the old 3.8 V6 (Impala, Century, Grand Prix, Monte Carlo, etc.) Those things are solid as hell

I knew a dude who bought a new Patriot then put like 10k+ out of warranty in the 5/6 yrs of ownership then when he was quoted with a 2k bill to change the wiring harness to fix multiple issues he did go straight to our local Jeeo dealer and bough one of these hateful new "Cherokee"... He's been having problems since 😂... Thing is he would probably buy another one just because it's a "jeep".
I didn't expect any of the car on this list to be reliable though...when you say a car is surprisingly unreliable you'd expect something from Toyota. Hondas tend to have a lot of transmission issues, so they don't qualify.
I learned to never own a BMW when a lady friend told me she had a headlight out on her 2004 330CI. $700 later she did not have a headlight out anymore.
I love these unreliable car lists because you pretty much never see a Toyota on them. That said, yeah I own an 88' Supra and a 01' Celica GT-S and both have some major issues, but it's fixable and doesn't grenade the motor.
HAHA I had 2 from that list. Had an Allroad 2.7t, and currently have an Mini Cooper S R56 (N18). The Audi was surprisingly reliable, save for the air suspension which was constantly acting up. If I had known I would have done the coilover conversion right off the bat. But otherwise, it never needed more than basic maintenance/fluid changes. The Mini however is not good. It's certainly a blast to drive, but it needs some sort of repairs a few times a year, (and often the same repairs done again, which really say it was a poor design to begin with) plus it seeps oil out nearly every gasket and seal.
Knowledgeable about cars RX8 is a dream!!!!!!! if your not and love to daily drive anything plus don’t know what’s a track car or a daily driver… (you can’t talk!!!!)
I've owned a jeep grandcherokee wk2 with the 8spd for 4 years I got the car when it was a year old and had 39k miles on the 3.6 v6 and now at 91k miles still not a single issue
My least reliable pick isn’t on the list but it’s the Chevrolet Equinox/GMC Terrain and the Chevrolet Traverse/GMC Acadia/Buick Enclave/Saturn Outlook.
good video , but i gotta say the Rx7 is way more unreliable than an Rx8. I have a seven and since 2008 the engine broke every summer in countless ways. And they are really expensive too repair. Had an Rx8 R3 and it served me well for 5years. compared too my Rx7 it was really cheap and reliable :). But agree on the video.
Just like CR you dump on the wrangler, Every other one you said was bad has engine or transmission issues and you pick the wrangler for getting same MPG as every other 4x4 (almost), slow? maybe off the line my JKU with 35s hit 118mph. break fail? never had 1 fail. (owned 6 now 4 new). wobble means something is worn, balljoints or tie rodends. JK's had a slight play in wheel they fixed on recall.( replaced aluminium box with a steel box). The same people that report issues are the ones who let brake pads grind into the rotters for a year before fixing..IMO
Yeah 100% on the 04-08 F-150. I had excessive cam where at 70k and the engine eventually went because of the timing tensioner at 110k. I wonder what swap would work best for that?
I had a 2005 2.4 A6 which had a leaking air suspension and a faulty piston (dunno which one). I sold it without fixing it ... I drove it blazing hot which helped cope with the engine noise and gone it was.
Jeep Wranglers (older JK models) are very safe. I had one, my girl still has one... a guy in a Nissan SUV pulled out in front of her from a side road and she crushed that little box and spun him right around in a 180 and across the street, lol. She only had bumper damage and a scuff mark on her fender from the bumper cover hitting it. The Nissan, was totaled. She drove home, didn't even set off her airbags at 30 miles per hour. As for reliability, the 3.6L Pentastar is probably their best engine, the new models have oil issues, etc. The older 4.0L were good as well but had some failures. People think Wranglers are unreliable while forgetting that we drive these offroad. You don't drive your Nissan Altima up the side of a mountain like we do. Obviously there will be problems as we bash these things on the trails. Many of the issues derive directly from lift kits and over sized tires straining everything. Lift your Subaru 4 inches and put 37 inch tires on it, bash it on a mountainside several times a month and see how long before you have problems.
As someone with a 2020 Nissan Altima, it's really not bad. I have well over 100k miles on the stock transmission and haven't even had a single check engine light, it's not hard to take care of your stuff
@@DirtyDan77 they're cheap cars, cheap cars attract cheap people, cheap people do not take care of cheap things because they're cheap. It's common sense, come on man
@@DirtyDan77 it's a misconception that it's poorly made, when you have people not taking care of their car properly it's going to break. I drive my car 300 miles a day for work and have absolutely no problems with it so far, the difference is I take care of my transmission
@@keesknees riiiiiight. Okay man whatever makes you happy I guess. We'll just ignore the lawsuits against Nissan and the fact they had to increase the length of their drivetrain warranty.
It's been said that BMW mechanics are richer than BMW owners. Cases in point: the E60 M5 & Mini Cooper. The 2V Triton 5.4L (non VVT) is actually pretty good. It's the 3V 5.4L Triton that's absolute garbage.
My patriot is almost 10 years old and I haven't had any issues with it beyond a few minor annoyances that were easily dealt with, and the only thing that's failed on it was the brake light sensor. If you getbone made after 2013 it won't have the cvt in it and they ironed out most of the teething problems the first generation of them had.
My brother has owned own for more then 10 years now too and nothing major has happened to his either. It's still going strong. He's put a lot of miles of it.
Waiting for the owners who have one of their cars on this list come on and say, "my car has been extremely reliable for me so far, no issues at all after 25k miles of driving! I've just replaced 3 sensors, my whole dash, valve seals, A/C compressor, steering rack, all corners of air suspension, my wife. She still runs like a beauty, don't see how it's unreliable."
My son has a rx8 it has 180,000 original miles on the same motor. He bought it when it has 40,000 miles on it but he’s always ran engine oil mix in the fuel his is a manual. And it’s horrible on gas but we haven’t done much maintenance to it just the regular stuff spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter but he does run Royal purple oil since he bought it. Changes the oil every 4000 miles but he does redline it a lot.
My 09 mini has 176k miles! Thank goodness I haven’t had major issues. All synthetic oil changes and premium gas is the key? Just tint the windows though or else you get stares thinking your a 19 year old college student
The Mazda RX-8 property maintained is literally one of the best vehicles on the road the problem with it is that it consumes oil it's designed that way but most people that drive it don't know that it consumes so much oil that you should be adding a quart of oil every two tanks of gas which is something that every single owner I've ever spoken to doesn't even know they're supposed to do💯
The "Mini" is actually a body kitted BMW 1 series and is as reliable. The Mini is no longer a small car as the current ones have a wheelbase longer than the original Land Rover.
My dad owns a Jeep Patriot with the 2,2 crd Mercedes engine and with a manual. The transmission was ok. We didn't have any problems with it but one of the the engine pistons exploded at 220k km (around 135k miles). Also the materials in the interior were bad (even though we had the limited trim variant). The only good thing about the car is the design. I really love that front end.
@Quacker, im with you, i have couple friends that own E60 M5’s and they work just fine, they wont even let them go, these internet BS has to end, they are premium toys and you will pay a premium for them, but they are good reliable cars if you take care of them, the problem is these chancers that pounce on high performance expensive cars and expect them to behave like Toyota Camry’s, its sickening, live big boy toys to big boys!
@@duffydon1741 The argument isn’t particularly expensive maintenance. It’s that they were actually flaws that had to be fixed or were expensive, expensive maintenance is fine, and expected expensive repairs due to premature failures is absolutely unacceptable, however, in fairness, I have heard there is a preventative work you can get done on M5 to keep them reliable.
I have an uncle that taught auto mechanics at tease schools and community colleges. He taught me early on that ALL cars are pieces of shit. If they were reliable, he'd have been out of a job
the audi allroad really surprised me, the air suspension works just fine for ever if you don‘t send it through rough terrain all the time. it‘s an „allroad“ not an „offroad“. ofc air suspension gets damaged if you send it on gravel. just do yourself a favor and never buy a 2.5 TDI or a 4.2 v8 from audi. absolute nightmares.
Audi hasn't used the 2.7L twin-turbo engine in almost 20 years! the new Allroads are just A4 wagons with slightly higher ride height and rubberized exterior trim.
* 13 Cars SURPRISINGLY People Still Don't Understand Are Unreliable. Fixed it for ya. How these aren't well known, or the fact people do little to no homework on one of their most expensive and important purchases is beyond me. They're really the reason Ford and Jeep are still existing brands in the first place.
It's always entertaining watching people from the USA talking about high cost and unreliable cars, expensive European cars. Also, in this video you show the 2.7 TDI engine in the Audi Allroad and then say its the same engine what was in the S4? The 2.7 petrol turbo in the C5 Allroad has nothing to do with B5 S4 engine, even the engine code is different, however, in the US market the engine was detuned to emission standards and produced the similar horsepower to the engine AJK/AZA. The 1.6 Turbo in the Mini is actually considered a very good engine; the weak point is the timing chain, and can be replaced for a few hundred with a slightly more reliable one, also just keep service intervals up. I know people with Mini Cooper JCW north of 200.000 miles and still beating the crap out of them.
Had a 2008 v6 3.5 6mt altima I treated harshly. Made it 400,000km on original clutch until I decided not to repair a water pump! This guy is a dullard- the VQ engine was rock solid - still pulled hard despite my lack of maintenance lol. As long as you don’t get the CVT you are gold. Still got compliments on the car until the end too!
Nissan Altima, if serviced and looked after will be fine. Mechanical sympathy (on take off), regular maintainence, esp the CVT oil, will mean it will run a long time. Most Altima owners simply NEGLECT proper servicing, hence the high failure rate.
02:52 When Minis were real Minis, they had a great reputation. Literally all my cousins (girls and boys) gad them as their first car. It was when they became GERMini, it went wrong.

DON'T CLICK ON THAT THAT'S A SCAM!!!
IDEAL MEDIA DOESN'T DO THIS
The Altima is what I call a 50/50 car half of them you beat the shit out off and they just keep happily chugging along. The other half breaks just by seating in it
Can confirm, the vq in mine is a champ lol
Altimas rely on a quality slow driver and religiously servicing the CVT fluid!
You can make an Altima a bit more reliable by doing the following (but not limited to):
1. Change A/T fluid every 35k kms (earlier if only city driving).
2. Install an aftermarket transmission cooler.
3. VQ is a good engine but needs proper oil and service interval.
4. Stock suspension is bad...go for good aftermarket ones or even coil overs.
Yes the R56 minis and the classic minis are known to be unreliable, but the F56 is most definitely an exception. The new B48s in them are very reliable, they have improved massively since the R56. But people don't know the difference, because in the end it is still seen as just a mini and therefore grouped with the previous models, with their terrible reputations for reliability.
My conclusion is that F56s are VERY reliable, R56 and backwards, not so reliable.
I dunno man. All cars are gonna need parts eventually, and do you really want to spend BMW money on a mini?
@@DirtyDan77 Well, that does depend on how rich u are. But if u have a decent amount of money, I don't see why u shouldn't buy a new one, my mum had one from 2015, 75k miles, flawless in terms of reliability
@@Josh-qm4rb I guess you can just buy a new one every few years. But I like working on my cars and I don't really want to spend 5 times as much for the parts lol.
@@DirtyDan77 Im saying they are very reliable, just not cheap like a Honda if something goes wrong
@@Josh-qm4rb more reliable than the other minis isn't a very high bar. But if they fixed those horrid electric issues, and the build quality is better, then maybe it would be worth it, and I could save up enough money for the ungodly price of the parts.
Correction, the RX8 had the last suicide doors on a production CAR, not a production VEHICLE
It died in 2011 (alongside the Element), but the FJ Cruiser had them as well and it died in 2014
And Ford ranger went out in 2012
How about Rolls-Royce?
Damn! The FJ has been gone that long now?!
Saturn coupe had those doors as well as Chevy Silverado trucks.
MX-30?!?!
And there have definitely been more.
500L was made in Yugoslavia??? Are we in the 1990s or what? Check your sources people...
We own 3 vehicles. My wife’s car is a 19 Outback ( Gutless 175hp, 2.5 naturally aspirated), 23K miles.
My car is a 19 Forester ( Peppy 182hp, 2.5 naturally aspirated) , 6K miles.
11 Ford Ranger XLT super cab 4X4 (4.0L V6 ), 35K miles.
We’ll have to eventually replace the Outback after my wife retires and I’ll drive my Forester probably until I die.
We plan on letting our family fight over the Ranger after we’re dead and gone.

The comments on these types of videos always kills me. "I have a Fiat with 678 000 miles on it and it's still going strong!" People don't seem to understand that there can be an exception to the rule.
For real. I'm seeing multiple RX8, Fiat, and Jeep owners here bragging about going 100k miles without an engine or transmission issue. That isn't the flex they think it is...
Those would be the ones that have been properly maintained.
The 2.7t Audi engine was originally a 2.8t but it was bored out and filled with cast iron. It is one of the most reliable engines there is and I would know because I have one that’s closing in on 200k miles with a stage 1 tune on it and I haven’t done any major repairs. It’s all about taking care of it.
2004 1.8t modded. 200k miles on orginal engine, trans and turbo. People need to learn to take care of cars.
Your one vehicle is anecdotal evidence. Empirical data shows that those engines are not reliable. Your one car vs the millions of vehicles with that engine.

Haha🎹🎶
I bought a chevy cruze 1.4l turbo, im writing this from the gulag.
My wife has had a mini for quite some time. It is a second generation of the new ones and was purchased used with low kms. The car is now 8 years old and the only thing that I have to say about its maintenance costs is that the brakes went at 30k. Aside from that, oil changes is pretty much all we had to do.
Wtf, brakes at 30k? Be glad you didn't go with them. That is absolutely unacceptable
@@MultiBeast301 We bought the car used and I have no idea who had it before, but I do know it sat a lot and was in the garage for the winter as they used it as a summer car. So, I don't know what would have caused the brakes to finish that quickly, however, the second set is fine and past 40k. I wouldn't not buy a car because the brakes didn't last particularly long, there are simple and relatively cheap upgrades that come in many different fashions to choose from if, indeed, it is a manufacturer's shortcoming. I definitely do not pick a car based on that. The Mini is an absolutely fantastic car. As far as my experience goes, only Japanese cars will go 80/100k kms before needing brakes.
Anyone can afford a BMW, not everyone can afford to maintain a BMW.
My favorite Yugo story is about the time my 4 year old daughter was riding her bike around the block. I was walking with her. She saw a Yugo parked in a neighbor's driveway and asked "Dad, is that a real car?" I didn't know what to say (Lol!)

My friend had E60 M5 for about 15 years now he bought it brand new in 07 and had done 120k miles on it he is a literal car geek and he maintains his cars like no one even a single bolt should be to perfection and he always use expensive or genuine parts and never had any rod bearing issues they were weak when he hit 80 85k miles but he replaced them and now at 120k it still works like charm
dudes prob spent a new car on maintenance
thats awesome
I bought my corolla in 2010. 12 years later, all i ever do is change oil and spark plugs.
Your friend still spends a ton of money on the car, and that's bad. A car isn't meant be breaking for doing what it was literally created to do.
@@yerpster Precisely!
@@erickail8979 does corolla does 0 to 60 in 4 sec or does it sounds like an F1 car or does it handles like a little sports car or is it as comfortable as a luxury yacht or can you cruise on 150mph?
I have an rx8. The engine is very unreliable if you treat it like a piston engine but everything else about the car is solid. If you treat them like a rotary they are just as reliable as any other car. I daily drive it in the warmer half of the year and I daily drive a saturn in the colder and salty half of the year. I've had some issues with the saturn over the years and not one with the rx8.
I have also daily driven my RX-8 (Series 2) for the past 7 1/2 years with no problems at all. If you know how to treat a rotary engine, it can last as long as most cars.
Also an owner of a series 2 RX8 (2009) for 11 years here - Buyers do need to realise that rotary engines are not as bad as people seem to say on a lot of these channels (That especially seem to buy beat up RX8s which haven't been treated well, and then proceed to complain about them). I've put around 160K KMs on my R3 as a daily driver in 11 years, and have only had the following repairs - Water filled taillights (Fixed with new gaskets and some sealing work, classic RX8 problem though), ignition coil/plug/lead replacement at 90K Kms (They do seem to degrade a little quicker in rotaries compared to piston engines), fixing the AC compressor and condenser (Another common RX8 issue), and the Takata airbag recall (Which was fixed by Mazda). Other than these, and your regular services which sometimes entail fluid flushes and filter replacements, my car has had the same sort of repairs a piston engine would. Any sort of engine rebuild is nowhere in sight with compression healthy, but I might do a seal / O Ring replacement around 200k KMs (120K Miles) mainly because I want to street port this car, so we have to take it apart anyway. Of course I do all the other stuff that you should do to your rotary like redlining, doing my own oil changes, letting the car warm up properly, and turning it off after reaching optimal temperature.
Love the rotary platform, I have a FD efini as well and an E30 that's been 13B swapped. The FD has had some issues with the turbos (No apex seal wear though as we found out when we street ported it) - But this one is a weekender with fewer miles than the RX8. I've personally had no major issues with any of these cars and the platform.
I feel like too many of these RX8s ended in the hands of people who didn't know about rotaries - fortunately some of these great cars have ended up with enthusiasts who understand this platform, and will take care of these cars for life.
A lot of the European cars are just not designed for the American market/circumstances , for every day use in Europe they work just fine.
I have a 2010 altima and just started having issues with the trans after 200k miles. I heard about the cvt trans being problematic but hadn't experienced it. I bought it in 2010 so I'm not mad at all.
If you drive slowly not gas to metal.
Same with a 2007 Nissan Murano , CVT was the most reliable thing on it
My 2010 Altima still going strong only problem is the dashboard cracking and sun sun visors are defective
@@TinoMiller I own a 2012 Altima with 108,000 miles. Not a bit of trouble with the CVT. I change the CVT fluid every 30,000 miles. Maintenance is the key to making these transmissions last.
Including Nissan rogue as well the transmission problem
My E39 lasted 189,000 miles. Gave it to someone and they drove it to 290,000 miles before that person got rid of it. Those M52 engines are tanks.
My friend had an early Q7, it sucks. The ride was harsh for a luxury SUV.
I could still take my chances with the V10 M5. It has to be manual tho.
I'd take my chance with any v10 lol
You're gonna come up off my sti, they aren't unreliable, people just don't know how to maintain them and highschool kids get them and beat the absolute shit out of them and go "oh my god this cars so unreliable" and Subaru DID fix their headgasket issues, I've never seen a wrx STI with a bad headgasket when it was replaced when it was supposed to be replaced lol
It's like that meme with the guy riding a bike and sticking a rod in his spokes before flipping, and then crying 'Damn head gaskets!' This TH-camr has the most punchable face...
You need to add the 1.4L turbo Chevy Cruze to the list. I've never seen any car develop coolant leaks like the Cruze does. You also need to add the money pit that is the Chevy Traverse/GMC Acadia/Buick Enclave to the list.
I think that was on another video (worst engines or suvs ever made)
Any American car that’s not RWD is not worth buying
@@gagejernigan5277 I can name but one exception: W bodies using the old 3.8 V6 (Impala, Century, Grand Prix, Monte Carlo, etc.) Those things are solid as hell
"the last suicide doors....." Rolls-Royce; "am I a joke to you?"
we have a 2007 Nissan pathfinder with only 90.000 miles the radiator and transmission are full of oil and coolant. could you tell every one more about this ?
sounds like a trans cooler leak
The Jeep Patriot also had a Hyundai 6 speed automatic from 2014-17 and those transmissions are good as long as you service them every 60,000 miles.
I knew a dude who bought a new Patriot then put like 10k+ out of warranty in the 5/6 yrs of ownership then when he was quoted with a 2k bill to change the wiring harness to fix multiple issues he did go straight to our local Jeeo dealer and bough one of these hateful new "Cherokee"... He's been having problems since 😂... Thing is he would probably buy another one just because it's a "jeep".
Worst vehicle, the 2020 Audi A6, never again. Best vehicle, 2020 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon!
I didn't expect any of the car on this list to be reliable though...when you say a car is surprisingly unreliable you'd expect something from Toyota. Hondas tend to have a lot of transmission issues, so they don't qualify.
I learned to never own a BMW when a lady friend told me she had a headlight out on her 2004 330CI.
$700 later she did not have a headlight out anymore.
I love these unreliable car lists because you pretty much never see a Toyota on them.
That said, yeah I own an 88' Supra and a 01' Celica GT-S and both have some major issues, but it's fixable and doesn't grenade the motor.
3:13 It's nice to see a clip from Sri Lanka 😁
P.s. - I'm from Sri Lanka
HAHA I had 2 from that list. Had an Allroad 2.7t, and currently have an Mini Cooper S R56 (N18). The Audi was surprisingly reliable, save for the air suspension which was constantly acting up. If I had known I would have done the coilover conversion right off the bat. But otherwise, it never needed more than basic maintenance/fluid changes. The Mini however is not good. It's certainly a blast to drive, but it needs some sort of repairs a few times a year, (and often the same repairs done again, which really say it was a poor design to begin with) plus it seeps oil out nearly every gasket and seal.
I feel like you should point out 2 valve 5.4s... and honestly even the 4 valve in the Lincoln Navigator is more reliable than the 3 valve
Hi. That for 500L and Yugoslavia was dirty and unreasonable.
Knowledgeable about cars RX8 is a dream!!!!!!! if your not and love to daily drive anything plus don’t know what’s a track car or a daily driver… (you can’t talk!!!!)
Can we talk about the fact that the dodge charger from the really old days were 2 door muscle cars but then turned into a four door sedan?
What does that have to do with anything?
No, we cannot.
The fact that the Charger is a 4 door sedan is atrocious.
I've owned a jeep grandcherokee wk2 with the 8spd for 4 years I got the car when it was a year old and had 39k miles on the 3.6 v6 and now at 91k miles still not a single issue
grandcherokees are so good, n reliable idk what people are saying
My least reliable pick isn’t on the list but it’s the Chevrolet Equinox/GMC Terrain and the Chevrolet Traverse/GMC Acadia/Buick Enclave/Saturn Outlook.
good video , but i gotta say the Rx7 is way more unreliable than an Rx8. I have a seven and since 2008 the engine broke every summer in countless ways. And they are really expensive too repair. Had an Rx8 R3 and it served me well for 5years. compared too my Rx7 it was really cheap and reliable :). But agree on the video.
I appreciate these lists. Great content guys
My 2006 Altima lasted 180,000 miles. I would be driving it today if it wasn't for accidents that totaled it in 2022.
Just like CR you dump on the wrangler, Every other one you said was bad has engine or transmission issues and you pick the wrangler for getting same MPG as every other 4x4 (almost), slow? maybe off the line my JKU with 35s hit 118mph. break fail? never had 1 fail. (owned 6 now 4 new). wobble means something is worn, balljoints or tie rodends. JK's had a slight play in wheel they fixed on recall.( replaced aluminium box with a steel box). The same people that report issues are the ones who let brake pads grind into the rotters for a year before fixing..IMO
I have an RX8 as my fun car, takes a lot but definitely rewards you.
most rotorheads aren't as bad about them getting LS swaps either.
@@OndreaS123 With plenty examples left to die by people there's more than enough to have both lol
The first generation ford edge. My grandma dosen't really go anywhere but that damn car is repaired at least 7 times a year.
Yeah 100% on the 04-08 F-150. I had excessive cam where at 70k and the engine eventually went because of the timing tensioner at 110k. I wonder what swap would work best for that?
I had a 2005 2.4 A6 which had a leaking air suspension and a faulty piston (dunno which one).
I sold it without fixing it ... I drove it blazing hot which helped cope with the engine noise and gone it was.
Jeep Wranglers (older JK models) are very safe. I had one, my girl still has one... a guy in a Nissan SUV pulled out in front of her from a side road and she crushed that little box and spun him right around in a 180 and across the street, lol. She only had bumper damage and a scuff mark on her fender from the bumper cover hitting it. The Nissan, was totaled. She drove home, didn't even set off her airbags at 30 miles per hour.
As for reliability, the 3.6L Pentastar is probably their best engine, the new models have oil issues, etc. The older 4.0L were good as well but had some failures. People think Wranglers are unreliable while forgetting that we drive these offroad. You don't drive your Nissan Altima up the side of a mountain like we do. Obviously there will be problems as we bash these things on the trails. Many of the issues derive directly from lift kits and over sized tires straining everything. Lift your Subaru 4 inches and put 37 inch tires on it, bash it on a mountainside several times a month and see how long before you have problems.
As someone with a 2020 Nissan Altima, it's really not bad. I have well over 100k miles on the stock transmission and haven't even had a single check engine light, it's not hard to take care of your stuff
So because the failure rate of the transmissions isn't 100% that means they're good? Come on man.
@@DirtyDan77 they're cheap cars, cheap cars attract cheap people, cheap people do not take care of cheap things because they're cheap. It's common sense, come on man
@@keesknees agreed. What does that have to do with poorly made transmissions?
@@DirtyDan77 it's a misconception that it's poorly made, when you have people not taking care of their car properly it's going to break. I drive my car 300 miles a day for work and have absolutely no problems with it so far, the difference is I take care of my transmission
@@keesknees riiiiiight. Okay man whatever makes you happy I guess. We'll just ignore the lawsuits against Nissan and the fact they had to increase the length of their drivetrain warranty.
It's been said that BMW mechanics are richer than BMW owners. Cases in point: the E60 M5 & Mini Cooper.
The 2V Triton 5.4L (non VVT) is actually pretty good. It's the 3V 5.4L Triton that's absolute garbage.
My patriot is almost 10 years old and I haven't had any issues with it beyond a few minor annoyances that were easily dealt with, and the only thing that's failed on it was the brake light sensor.
If you getbone made after 2013 it won't have the cvt in it and they ironed out most of the teething problems the first generation of them had.
I've had no major problems with my RX8. I guess I'm one of the lucky ones.
My brother has owned own for more then 10 years now too and nothing major has happened to his either. It's still going strong. He's put a lot of miles of it.
Waiting for the owners who have one of their cars on this list come on and say, "my car has been extremely reliable for me so far, no issues at all after 25k miles of driving! I've just replaced 3 sensors, my whole dash, valve seals, A/C compressor, steering rack, all corners of air suspension, my wife. She still runs like a beauty, don't see how it's unreliable."
My son has a rx8 it has 180,000 original miles on the same motor. He bought it when it has 40,000 miles on it but he’s always ran engine oil mix in the fuel his is a manual. And it’s horrible on gas but we haven’t done much maintenance to it just the regular stuff spark plugs, fuel filter, air filter but he does run Royal purple oil since he bought it. Changes the oil every 4000 miles but he does redline it a lot.
Jeez that's lucky.. but I bet that rx8 will be needing an engine rebuild very soon
I dunno bro. I have a 2014 altima with 238K miles on it and it's been running like a champ.
ALWAYS FIX YOUR CARS AND HAVE MAINTENANCE, IT WILL LAST YOUR CAR ABOVE 200k MILES 👍
My 09 mini has 176k miles! Thank goodness I haven’t had major issues. All synthetic oil changes and premium gas is the key? Just tint the windows though or else you get stares thinking your a 19 year old college student
I owned a Q7 V8 gen one (refreshed facelift) ran lovely for 100,000 miles - it was excellent.
2:29 all you really have to do to the E60 M5 is replace the rod bearings with stronger ones.
Same for the E92 M3s
The Mazda RX-8 property maintained is literally one of the best vehicles on the road the problem with it is that it consumes oil it's designed that way but most people that drive it don't know that it consumes so much oil that you should be adding a quart of oil every two tanks of gas which is something that every single owner I've ever spoken to doesn't even know they're supposed to do💯
Your older brother’s college roommate’s brother’s, wife’s dog has an STI 😂😂😂😂.. I’m was rolling on the FLOOR … but, what if he did? LMFAO
I would wager a rx8 with the mazda 2.5l would be a pretty nice car. The engine would just bolt to existing 6 spd transmission. Hmm.
But that wouldn't be an rx8
@@maxct827 it's got four doors. and compared to the rest of the RX line, is hideous & heavy
The "Mini" is actually a body kitted BMW 1 series and is as reliable. The Mini is no longer a small car as the current ones have a wheelbase longer than the original Land Rover.

Get that 86 off the Thumbnail, she doesn't belong there. She is a good ship.
The ford 5.4 bit is nonsense lol. The tritons are extremely reliable, the 4.6 more so but they are very close to the same motor. My 4.6 has 320k
all of these are unsurprisingly unreliable
My dad owns a Jeep Patriot with the 2,2 crd Mercedes engine and with a manual. The transmission was ok. We didn't have any problems with it but one of the the engine pistons exploded at 220k km (around 135k miles). Also the materials in the interior were bad (even though we had the limited trim variant). The only good thing about the car is the design. I really love that front end.
My 8-year-old 1953 Plymouth I had in high school never broke down.
You can’t label the video “surprisingly unreliable cars” and put a BMW on the thumbnail. That’s not surprising at all.

@@duffydon1741 The argument isn’t particularly expensive maintenance. It’s that they were actually flaws that had to be fixed or were expensive, expensive maintenance is fine, and expected expensive repairs due to premature failures is absolutely unacceptable, however, in fairness, I have heard there is a preventative work you can get done on M5 to keep them reliable.
I have an uncle that taught auto mechanics at tease schools and community colleges. He taught me early on that ALL cars are pieces of shit. If they were reliable, he'd have been out of a job
0:06 Omco, is that you!?
the audi allroad really surprised me, the air suspension works just fine for ever if you don‘t send it through rough terrain all the time. it‘s an „allroad“ not an „offroad“. ofc air suspension gets damaged if you send it on gravel.

It's always entertaining watching people from the USA talking about high cost and unreliable cars, expensive European cars.
Also, in this video you show the 2.7 TDI engine in the Audi Allroad and then say its the same engine what was in the S4?
The 2.7 petrol turbo in the C5 Allroad has nothing to do with B5 S4 engine, even the engine code is different, however, in the US market the engine was detuned to emission standards and produced the similar horsepower to the engine AJK/AZA.
The 1.6 Turbo in the Mini is actually considered a very good engine; the weak point is the timing chain, and can be replaced for a few hundred with a slightly more reliable one, also just keep service intervals up.
I know people with Mini Cooper JCW north of 200.000 miles and still beating the crap out of them.

This guy is a dullard- the VQ engine was rock solid - still pulled hard despite my lack of maintenance lol. As long as you don’t get the CVT you are gold. Still got compliments on the car until the end too!
Nissan Altima, if serviced and looked after will be fine. Mechanical sympathy (on take off), regular maintainence, esp the CVT oil, will mean it will run a long time. Most Altima owners simply NEGLECT proper servicing, hence the high failure rate.
