Bought 2015 Mercedes ML 350 (everything same as W212, engine, transmission) with 48k miles in 2019. Right now has 101k miles, no issues at all except thermostat ($300 oem part and $150 labor) and that’s it
Thank you for your excellent guidance! I just bought the Mazda CX-5. Not the turbo but sure hoping this 36K mile vehicle will go the distance… I keep my cars till they just won’t go anymore 😂 I hate car shopping that much!
I was ex ited for the CX70/90, but recently found reviews saying many services require an engine pull. They made these very complicated. Only time will tell how long it takes for them to fail, and it will be really expensive when they do. They also made some comprimises on the suspension compared to the outgoing cx9.
A family member bought a 2024 Jeep Wrangler ($73K) had an electrical problem already, it was repaired, under warranty minor issue, but not off to a good start. I like my naturally aspirated 2022 Toyota Tacoma V-6 (non-turbo). Hopefully, Toyota has maintained its reliability and has not fallen to the new "standard" of Stellantis and German dump buckets.
I have an Audi A5 45 coupe, and you are right - they are decked out beautifully. And the Band and Olufsen sound system is phenomenal, much better than HK. There's a way to defeat start/stop system with a push of a button, something you can't do in modern BMWs. Hopefully, it's reliable, I only have 6000 miles on it.
You did an extensive review on a variety of vehicles. You provided the good & the bad with each. Well done. Thank you. No one come close give this level of detail. Thank you!
@ECPP Thank you for your videos. As someone that has done so much research.... what vehicles have you personally owned for longer than 1 year in the last ten years? Thank you!
What a great video Mark! Super helpful! I m leaning toward UX for the city. Love the Audi SQ, but if America release the RS3 sportback, I would def go for it! Keep it up Mark, will keep on supporting your channel bro!
Ridgelines are amazing. A few of my friends have them and they love them. Drive comfortable and have a great engine. Not sure why I ever made fun of them. I was wrong about them. I highly recommend them now.
To be Fair Honda updated many things about the Ridgeline over the Years for example, Heavier wheel bearings and Better trans, So far at 45,000 miles we really like ours, I personally changed all the Trans and drive fluids at 32,000 miles made a difference in smoother Shifts from the 9 speed ZF.
What about older cars to buy. I will be purchasing my 16 yr old first car by Christmas and im considering the 2014 Lexus ES350 or 2012-2014 Toyota Camry and the 2012-2014 Honda Accord. Any vidoes for buying older cars cash??
2:34 My family has a 2015 X5 sDrive35i (the RWD model) with the N55 engine. We got it with 17k miles in 2019 & now it's at a little over 76k miles. It's luckily been free of major problems for us so what you're saying about the engine has me nervous now
He is wrong. The N55 was absolutely a powerful workhorse and very reliable statistically. Especially the 2014 and up variants which you have. Be sure to change the oil every 3 -5k miles. Do NOT do 8000 or 10000 mile intervals.
Nice work man, started to watch your videos because I want to get a Mercedes C300. I’ve Been driving Toyotas all my life. Still not sure if I will buy it or not, what year would you recommend? “Affordable”
My mom bought an RX in 2000, and it's still running 24 years later. Now it's had its problems, and the engine has been rebuilt, but still a better track record than most other vehicles if you ask me.
I’ve been saying it for 7 years, that the B58 was gonna be the golden child of BMW. Once I seen the design and build of the engine when announced, I knew it was gonna be a game changer. Only BMW engine i recommended. ZF 8speed is also amazing.
Hey man Ive been watching you for a while and you really are a top reason I purchased my Jaguar f type , but do you know why my Jaguar f type v6 is having excessive smoke coming out tail pipe and water down coolant , just took it into dealship and they said I got no coolant leaks and the car is fine but I changed the oil and it looked like mud.. am I stuck paying 600$ for a failed diagnostic and a broken Jaguar? (67,000 miles) I am part of the youth second hand jaguars and it’s been quite a journey I shall say.. I’ve had it for 8 months and drove it for only 3 because so much time in shop.. what should I do I think it’s head gasket but they’re telling me the test are good .. ugh.
Just subscribed and moved over from your truck channel. Honda Civic Sport, like the one you pointed out at 1:23:30 is $ 32, 716. in Canada and the price does NOT include whatever taxes you may have to pay depending on the province you live in. For me in Ontario, I have to add 13% tax which makes the selling price $36,969.08. Not exactly a cheap little car. Would love to know where you found a new Honda Civic basic for $23,450 ? Honda Canada's basic Civic starts at $ 28,756 + tax = $32,494. Definitely not under $ 25,000. You stated that basically Honda has great cars despite a few hiccups, except you spent an entire video a couple of months ago tearing Honda down saying how the new ones are unreliable and their reliability has fallen down to 15th from first or 2nd place . At 56:54 ,A Honda, the " reliability king next to a Toyota or Lexus"❗PLUS, " Honda, they know how to build reliability" . Which is it, UNRELIABLE OR RELIABLE ⁉ BTW, Honda is known for their CVT engines being better than most . At 56:10 you showed a Honda CR-V with a price tag seen hanging from the visor showing the price at $37,988 and you said the price ranged from $24,000 -$ 35,760. Where can you get a Honda CR-V in Feb 2024 starting at $24,000 in Canada ?
I hate to tell you, that car does not have fake exhaust tips. The pipes are real, the tips are that way to keep the rain out of the exhaust pipes. I have a Charger like that and when I put my custom Borla exhaust system in, they kept the use of the factory tips. I had an Impala SS once that used to blow all over the garage doors when you started it after rain. It took a while to figure out why the garage doors were always so filthy. My Charger doesn't do that. And the tips are big beefy chrome steel units. The exhaust pipes are just far enough inside to keep the rain away from them. After owning that SS, I wouldn't have anything else. And, because it did that, the SS rotted its 700 dollar traverse mounted muffler out. You need to learn what you're looking at. The fake ones don't have any pipes in them at all, and they're just plastic plugs.
Hello there. Last week a bough a 2024 BMW X3M, and now I have to work an extra hour to be able to afford it. Is it worth it, how is the reliability? Thank you.
Amazing video. I really enjoyed it. I wish if you can do one about best cars to perform in snow winter. I believe Land cruiser or its sister Lexus 450 are the best but they will break your bank with their fuel consumption plus their purchase price 😁
Am l missing the Acura MDX, the perennial champion of the SUV class? I never had an MDX come to my Customer Service desk with a recurring issue...EVER. (Same goes with the Ridgeline P'ups). I agree with every other appraisals in this review completely...especially the Land Rovers. I can't tell you how many LR trade-in customers I told, "If it was a horse, l'd just put it out of its misery, right here in this lot!" Nobody ever laughed at that opening. A few got teary eyed.
Love your vids. Can you give a opinion on if the new Lexus GX 550 will hold its value? Thinking of picking one up thos spring. Im told 4Runner is the way to go buy dont wanna wait
Honestly if you are worried about holding value, you don't want a new car. All new cars lose value after driving off the lot. It's better to buy a lightly used car a few years older for way below retail.
My idea of a great car is a SAAB I own a Saab already for 10 years and I bought it for only $1000,- from a junkyard and it became better and better engine uses no oil and it drives like a maniac that fast it can handle everything awesome car and flawless bulletproof Still the same power shifting like butter
It’s a shame that Saab went out of business. I’ve had a few and the last Saab I had I kept for 10 years and it was really bulletproof car. After Saab’s I bought a Mazda 6 and so far I’ve been really happy with it, somehow it has similiar driving charateristics to Saab even though it’s NA . Volvo has gone downhill lately, and Volvos today are not what they used to be. I think I’ll be buying japanese from now on.
I was looking to buy a used car within the next year. But, my current car needs some repairs. Am I better off getting the repairs done and waiting for the market to go down more, or not putting anymore money in my car and trade it in now?
He's recommending the Camry. I owned one for over ten years.. ok, I owned several in ten years. I recently traded it out for a Subaru Outback. The Outback is way more comfortable!
Both are great cars, of course he will recommend the camry cause it's a very reliable toyota with very few issues, sure it may not be the most cozy but that's why it's affordable.
i have a lexus NX turbo chaged 2024 . 2.4 liter 275 HP. I really wanted a SUV so when i was looking at the dealership for a SUV they were all turbo charged... so i was somewhat handcuffed to buy one lol
Powerful review. Almost a cram session. I agree with most, but having done Audi Customer Follow-up...😔 My focus today has gone from ICE to Hybrid ONLY. The only other alternative is converting our 2020 Lexus to hybrid, down the road. I love that UX. At $10k, to do an ICE to Hybrid conversion, may be the way to go, if you have a long term keeper (and we keep all our Lexi for 200+k miles).
Love your channel and sense of humour Mark. I've got an Audi A4 2006 with a CVT that's killed me in repairs. I believe Lexus is my next car thanks to your videos. Please keep up the great work and that sense of humor lol
Very comprehensive and sadly accurate for so many stinkers. The F-150 is the most disturbing development, considering the F-150 is the "bread & butter" sales leader for many decades. Especially notable is that all F-150's are built exclusively in the USA (So much for "Quality built American vehicles"). Glad you were honest about the Hyundai/Kia balls of rolling fire, time bombs. And I run when l hear Mercedes SUV followed by the letters GL, GLA, GLB, GLK... Thanks for your wakeup call amid this sea of flashy ads promoting vehicles l wouldn't sell to an ex-wife.😮
@@ECPP Guilty! I depended on the advice of a family member to buy a kia. Didn't do my own homework. Has been nothing but problems from the start. With about 5k of repairs in 3 years. Serious dangerous issues that thankfully didn't happen on a highway. Never will buy anything that is parked near a kia again. Thanks so much for the work you do for us! You are helping me with my homework now.
@@ECPP New comment....Can't thank you for your channel enough. I bought today after watching a ton of your videos. I recommended you to family members as well! tysm
I went with a 2024 Chevy Express Cargo van 6.6 V8 as it's about the last V8 cargo van you can find.. and then a 2010 Lexus LS460 as Im all about powerful V8 engines that are very reliable. The Van I hope will pay for a Lexus LC500 or ISF500 with 5.0 naturally inspired engine car..
Damn ! Tough Pics, BMW, "Black Mamba World" Or "Bob Marley World" ?! One Has A New Movie & One Has A New Statue. Both Are Legends. But Once Again It's Lexus For The Win !! 🏆. Literally A Long Legendary Lineup, Thanx Mark ! 👏💯
ECCP - you were just saying in a video a month or so ago how horrible the Q3 was. Water leaks, wind noise, and stretched timing chains. Now it’s one of the most reliable??
What about the 2024 Lexus GX??? This video published in February 2024 but you covered the 2023 GX, and the 2024 GX has been redesigned from the ground up
I'm thinking of buying an upcoming Cadillac Escalade IQ (electric(. I know other electric Cadillacs lose value like crazy and that would probably happen to IQ as well. What do you think of that SUV?
The B58 engine may be ok but it’s all the add ons that will crap out. Plastic parts and complicated things. If the water pump fails I think the engine has to come out to replace it. I chose a top spec CX5 turbo. If it shits itself I will dump it and buy something else. Maybe another CX5 or an NX.
As an ASE master technician, I think you spend too much time talking about irrelevant chrome trim, styling and wheel designs and totally ignore that fact that twin turbo small CID engines are natoriously infamous for short lived engine life. So, all in all, I think you need to be more discerning about various engine options. I think you talk too much "fluff" and not enough hard facts.
Got my daily mazda cx9 3.7l FWD no transfer case auto Great car .sooo reliable but want a prestige audi q5 or q3 as well .May bite rhe bullet soon as can afford easy 2017 and above
@1:24:32: 'You can ride these cars 10..15 years'. Is that all? Most people buy second hand cars. And I myself rarely buy a car younger than 15 years old.

Thanks
My goodness, bless you!
Toyota/Lexus all the way,,, nice video
ALMOST A TWO HOUR VIDEO WOW MARK THAT'S DEDICATION ! 👍👍👍
Thank you very much. True a consolidation of some of the best if every vehicle type.
Bought 2015 Mercedes ML 350 (everything same as W212, engine, transmission) with 48k miles in 2019. Right now has 101k miles, no issues at all except thermostat ($300 oem part and $150 labor) and that’s it
Mark 🇨🇦 you Crushed it today ! Thxs ! Sun ☀️ is out finally, have an awesome weekend ✌🏻
Thank you so much. It was a tone of work but a great compilation like this is sometimes needed
Outstanding reviews and extra long video. You have outdone yourself my friend. 😊
Thanks very much Mark. Hope you have a great weekend.
Thanks Mark. Stay safe and keep warm in the "Great White North".@@ECPP
Thank you for your excellent guidance! I just bought the Mazda CX-5. Not the turbo but sure hoping this 36K mile vehicle will go the distance… I keep my cars till they just won’t go anymore 😂 I hate car shopping that much!
As usual a perfect video thanks Mark
Love the content... but not the weather!!! ☁️✨☁️☁️. Go bruh 💯💯
Thanks so much, yes the weather can be a bit much, lol. Have a great weekend.
I absolutely love my 2017 440i. 110k and no issues
Awesome
MAZDA incredibly reliable elegant and classic design that doesn’t date . SEATS could be a bit more comfortable…and support
MAZDA SUV COMMENTS . Cx5 great value
Toyota Lexus Mazda Honda stand out long term non Heart attack brands long term and reliability
Great video Mark thanks..

Good choice!
Excellent video 👍🏾
He make me want to go out and buy a vehicle with confidence! Great job! Sir.
I have watched many automotive videos and I must say, I really appreciate how you share your knowledge about these vehicles. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you very much for the support. We do try to bring the info people need but is hard to find because the OEMs are good at marketing their products
Thank you for top level summary!!! How abut mentioning a price rang ?
WOW amazing TY so much ,,Keep up the great work
You are so welcome
So basically, Hondas and Toyotas are the most durable. Got it 👍

Sounds very nice
Which X5 model years have the B58 engine? And how to you find out what engine is the model year equipped with?
X5 40i from the current generation (starting from 2019) has B58. Wikipedia has good info on which model has which engine.
I would recommend 2020 model years and later, X5 40i only. 2019 had some issues that were ironed out in 2020.
first. cheers from sweden
Good morning and welcome
Thank you Mark. Awesome work. ❤
Thank you so much

I drive a 128i BMW great information. Sir. 106k and just had all what you said as maintenance done on it! Car driving like a champ!
@ECPP Thank you for your videos. As someone that has done so much research.... what vehicles have you personally owned for longer than 1 year in the last ten years? Thank you!
Love my 2020 Mazda CX-5 Signature. Easily the best car i've ever owned and i'm in the neighborhood of 50 vehicles. It's almost perfect.
Great choice and I love those things too. CX50 also cool.
What a great video Mark! Super helpful! I m leaning toward UX for the city. Love the Audi SQ, but if America release the RS3 sportback, I would def go for it! Keep it up Mark, will keep on supporting your channel bro!
I’ve had an RS3 since late 17. 100k amazing miles. It’s a brute. Best daily I’ve ever had.
How much do you usually pay for the maintenance and etc. that’s all I m scare of lol

You have the LX600 in the do not buy video and in the buy video. Which is it?
Generally a good bet but since things have transpired with the 3.4 main bearing issues, that would be a no go at this point. Timing of then videos
Personally really liking the 2020 Ridgeline Black Edition despite all the recalls, Why because the V6 is nice over any of the 4 cylinder Options out.
Ridgelines are amazing. A few of my friends have them and they love them. Drive comfortable and have a great engine. Not sure why I ever made fun of them. I was wrong about them. I highly recommend them now.
To be Fair Honda updated many things about the Ridgeline over the Years for example, Heavier wheel bearings and Better trans, So far at 45,000 miles we really like ours, I personally changed all the Trans and drive fluids at 32,000 miles made a difference in smoother Shifts from the 9 speed ZF.
What about older cars to buy. I will be purchasing my 16 yr old first car by Christmas and im considering the 2014 Lexus ES350 or 2012-2014 Toyota Camry and the 2012-2014 Honda Accord. Any vidoes for buying older cars cash??
All excellent choices. Can’t go wrong with Toyota Lexus or Honda. For your 16 year old stick with those❤️
@@lenifoster5360 Thank you
Your 16 yr old is very fortunate to have you care for them.

He is wrong. The N55 was absolutely a powerful workhorse and very reliable statistically. Especially the 2014 and up variants which you have. Be sure to change the oil every 3 -5k miles. Do NOT do 8000 or 10000 mile intervals.
great video. how long did it take you to make and edit the video ?
A long time, tbh
Nice work man, started to watch your videos because I want to get a Mercedes C300. I’ve Been driving Toyotas all my life. Still not sure if I will buy it or not, what year would you recommend? “Affordable”
Look up Mercedes e class 350 W212 (2012-2016), the last models that have regular 3.5 V6 before changing to turbo engine.
Mark - great videos - overall impression of Subarus?
first reviewer I can honestly agree with on most points, keep up the good work!!
He said “Cadillac Escapade” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha, indeed
😅
again, WHAT YEAR??? You should mention the year of the vehicle that your are talking about.
My mom bought an RX in 2000, and it's still running 24 years later. Now it's had its problems, and the engine has been rebuilt, but still a better track record than most other vehicles if you ask me.
With a rebuilt engine? Lolll you’re not too sharp bubba
@@jonathans6087 24 year old car with over 300K miles on it, yeah it could be a lot worse
B58! 💪🏾
That’s a great engine
I’ve been saying it for 7 years, that the B58 was gonna be the golden child of BMW. Once I seen the design and build of the engine when announced, I knew it was gonna be a game changer.

The Lexus ES350 is one of very very top in low fatality rates per million inside and also outside. I wonder if this saves on insurance a lot of money.

I had an Impala SS once that used to blow all over the garage doors when you started it after rain. It took a while to figure out why the garage doors were always so filthy. My Charger doesn't do that. And the tips are big beefy chrome steel units. The exhaust pipes are just far enough inside to keep the rain away from them. After owning that SS, I wouldn't have anything else. And, because it did that, the SS rotted its 700 dollar traverse mounted muffler out. You need to learn what you're looking at. The fake ones don't have any pipes in them at all, and they're just plastic plugs.
Please advise between Infiniti Q70 and Audi A5 2012-2016 which one is reliable
If I was forced to pick between the two, I would go for the infiniti, japanese over german any day.
Hello there. Last week a bough a 2024 BMW X3M, and now I have to work an extra hour to be able to afford it. Is it worth it, how is the reliability? Thank you.
Which HP version of the BMW 4.0i engine? The old or the new (which has more HP) or either one is equally reliable?
The 4.0i engine is one of bmws safest engines..the older 4.4 V8 was problems on top of problems..😅
What’s years models is he talking about?.
Amazing video. I really enjoyed it. I wish if you can do one about best cars to perform in snow winter. I believe Land cruiser or its sister Lexus 450 are the best but they will break your bank with their fuel consumption plus their purchase price 😁
Yes I can do that but basically I say Audi and Subaru are some of the better winter sorcials
@@ECPP subaru outback? Audi Q5s? thanks 😁👍
@@ECPP I heard that Subaru outback is having many electronic issues 🤷🏻
Once again great job
Unfortunately, the V6 engine is no longer available on the toyota highlander, they only come with a Turbo 4 Cylinder engine.
What is the best small car to buy that last for a long time?
Mazda 3, Toyota Corolla, Honda Civic with manual transmission
3:56 Only the hybrid version from the previous generation has over 300 HP but the regular RX 350 has 295 HP
Here and thanks
Thanks for coming
Aren't the Ten speed Transmission on the Lincoln Navigator & F150 Problematic..?
Am l missing the Acura MDX, the perennial champion of the SUV class? I never had an MDX come to my Customer Service desk with a recurring issue...EVER. (Same goes with the Ridgeline P'ups). I agree with every other appraisals in this review completely...especially the Land Rovers. I can't tell you how many LR trade-in customers I told, "If it was a horse, l'd just put it out of its misery, right here in this lot!"
Nobody ever laughed at that opening. A few got teary eyed.
Would some one post a list of cars mentioned !!
what about the CLA45S or A45S? you said in a previous comment that you were going to make a video about these cars
We will certainly get to that chat indeed
thanks and im looking forward to it!@@ECPP
Love your vids. Can you give a opinion on if the new Lexus GX 550 will hold its value? Thinking of picking one up thos spring. Im told 4Runner is the way to go buy dont wanna wait
Honestly if you are worried about holding value, you don't want a new car. All new cars lose value after driving off the lot. It's better to buy a lightly used car a few years older for way below retail.
Any Lexus that has come off lease or dealer loaner cars. Preloved.
My idea of a great car is a SAAB I own a Saab already for 10 years and I bought it for only $1000,- from a junkyard and it became better and better engine uses no oil and it drives like a maniac that fast it can handle everything awesome car and flawless bulletproof
Still the same power shifting like butter
It’s a shame that Saab went out of business. I’ve had a few and the last Saab I had I kept for 10 years and it was really bulletproof car. After Saab’s I bought a Mazda 6 and so far I’ve been really happy with it, somehow it has similiar driving charateristics to Saab even though it’s NA . Volvo has gone downhill lately, and Volvos today are not what they used to be. I think I’ll be buying japanese from now on.
Some of the SAAB:s are really great. My 1997 9000 CSE has 198 000 miles on it, uses no oil.
I know the Audi hate. My wife drives a 2013 A4. We love it. Yes, we've put some money into it. Maybe the best car we've ever owned.
I was looking to buy a used car within the next year. But, my current car needs some repairs. Am I better off getting the repairs done and waiting for the market to go down more, or not putting anymore money in my car and trade it in now?
I’d keep the same car and get repairs done. Atleast you know your cars history. Used cars are expensive and not coming down in price.
He's recommending the Camry. I owned one for over ten years.. ok, I owned several in ten years. I recently traded it out for a Subaru Outback. The Outback is way more comfortable!
Both are great cars, of course he will recommend the camry cause it's a very reliable toyota with very few issues, sure it may not be the most cozy but that's why it's affordable.
Is a used 2016 cx 5 with 160k a good purchase? One owner with only dealership maintenance asking 10k rn😊
How to clean the aerator on glacier bay mckenna faucet
Oops - google search in the wrong place!🙄
Haha great comment. Cheers
i have a lexus NX turbo chaged 2024 . 2.4 liter 275 HP. I really wanted a SUV so when i was looking at the dealership for a SUV they were all turbo charged... so i was somewhat handcuffed to buy one lol
Powerful review. Almost a cram session. I agree with most, but having done Audi Customer Follow-up...😔
My focus today has gone from ICE to Hybrid ONLY. The only other alternative is converting our 2020 Lexus to hybrid, down the road. I love that UX.
At $10k, to do an ICE to Hybrid conversion, may be the way to go, if you have a long term keeper (and we keep all our Lexi for 200+k miles).
great job guy
Any thoughts on the 2024 Broncos? I've been eyeing them for a while
👎
This was terrific Mark !! Just picked up an B9/ S4. Now I feel better … lol .
Thanks for watching Ken. Have a great one. The car is a lot of fun too.
Great cars.
Every time you say “very” I’m convinced you’re going to say demure. 😂 love all your videos. ❤
Love that!
Love your channel and sense of humour Mark. I've got an Audi A4 2006 with a CVT that's killed me in repairs. I believe Lexus is my next car thanks to your videos. Please keep up the great work and that sense of humor lol
Any insightful info on VW 2024 atlas
Very comprehensive and sadly accurate for so many stinkers. The F-150 is the most disturbing development, considering the F-150 is the "bread & butter" sales leader for many decades. Especially notable is that all F-150's are built exclusively in the USA (So much for "Quality built American vehicles"). Glad you were honest about the Hyundai/Kia balls of rolling fire, time bombs. And I run when l hear Mercedes SUV followed by the letters GL, GLA, GLB, GLK...
Thanks for your wakeup call amid this sea of flashy ads promoting vehicles l wouldn't sell to an ex-wife.😮
Haha indeed, many people just buy without doing there honework. It’s bizarre how some of this junk still sells.
@@ECPP Guilty! I depended on the advice of a family member to buy a kia. Didn't do my own homework. Has been nothing but problems from the start. With about 5k of repairs in 3 years. Serious dangerous issues that thankfully didn't happen on a highway. Never will buy anything that is parked near a kia again. Thanks so much for the work you do for us! You are helping me with my homework now.
@@ECPP New comment....Can't thank you for your channel enough. I bought today after watching a ton of your videos. I recommended you to family members as well! tysm
Those GX are amazing. I want to get one but at 16mpg... I don't know lol
I went with a 2024 Chevy Express Cargo van 6.6 V8 as it's about the last V8 cargo van you can find.. and then a 2010 Lexus LS460 as Im all about powerful V8 engines that are very reliable. The Van I hope will pay for a Lexus LC500 or ISF500 with 5.0 naturally inspired engine car..
Damn ! Tough Pics, BMW, "Black Mamba World" Or "Bob Marley World" ?! One Has A New Movie & One Has A New Statue. Both Are Legends. But Once Again It's Lexus For The Win !! 🏆. Literally A Long Legendary Lineup, Thanx Mark ! 👏💯
Thanka very much Don
I have owned many FIATS here in Brasil with zero problems, they are all 5 speeds here
Engines varied from a 1.0 16v to a 1.4 8 v, ZERO PROBLEMS
best welcome in 2024 🎉
Cheers and welcome to the channel
You put the Lexus RC behind you in the thumbnail. I thought you’d list it as a reliable coupe.
ECCP - you were just saying in a video a month or so ago how horrible the Q3 was. Water leaks, wind noise, and stretched timing chains. Now it’s one of the most reliable??
IDK why he waffles back and forth on some cars
My sister had an Acura MDX. Total POS when the transmission started acting up. She traded it in and will never buy another.
That’s not good to hear
What about the 2024 Lexus GX??? This video published in February 2024 but you covered the 2023 GX, and the 2024 GX has been redesigned from the ground up
What about subaru legacy and outbacks from 2021 and up?
N55 was actually VERY reliable statistically, especially in the later years 2014 and up. B58 is even better though for sure.
❤ Toyota HUV
2017 - 2024 only 18,000 miles
😊
Good vehicles
is that x5 gdi n port injection?
I'm thinking of buying an upcoming Cadillac Escalade IQ (electric(. I know other electric Cadillacs lose value like crazy and that would probably happen to IQ as well. What do you think of that SUV?
Just got me a used almost new 2021 x5 xdrive40i m sport under 20,000 miles coming from a 2010 x5 xdrive30i m sport
How much did you pay for her?
I’m on market for same X5
The B58 engine may be ok but it’s all the add ons that will crap out. Plastic parts and complicated things. If the water pump fails I think the engine has to come out to replace it.
I chose a top spec CX5 turbo. If it shits itself I will dump it and buy something else. Maybe another CX5 or an NX.
Mazdas are quite reliable these days
As an ASE master technician, I think you spend too much time talking about irrelevant chrome trim, styling and wheel designs and totally ignore that fact that twin turbo small CID engines are natoriously infamous for short lived engine life. So, all in all, I think you need to be more discerning about various engine options. I think you talk too much "fluff" and not enough hard facts.
😅😅😅
Got my daily mazda cx9 3.7l FWD no transfer case auto Great car .sooo reliable but want a prestige audi q5 or q3 as well .May bite rhe bullet soon as can afford easy 2017 and above
What is your opinion on toyata highlander?
Subaru Outback!!!!!❤
@1:24:32: 'You can ride these cars 10..15 years'. Is that all? Most people buy second hand cars. And I myself rarely buy a car younger than 15 years old.
@24:30 - Audi does station wagons cool and fun... A4 and A6 Avants are cool.
Anyone ever notice the Acura logo looks like a folded in H? Yeah no surprise coming from Honda, subtle hint of where it comes from.
Yes it’s a close resemblance
