My good friend owns a mechanic shop and he warned me of modern kia/hyundai. He put his two kids through university thanks to warrant work and a host of issues
Other than the transmissions they’re actually pretty good. The transmission failure rates are high but most of them still last somewhat long, so there’s lots still on the road.
Thanks for these videos. Especially for those of us not able to buy a brand new car from a dealership, and would preferably avoid paying for sky high prices on fixing an unreliable car found in a used car lot.
I will NEVER understand how people can mistreat something that costs so much money. My car is a 2016 Scion with 58k, and the car still looks fantastic because I take care of it. Thanks for the tips man!
There used to be a term, "conspicuous consumerism" which translates as, "keeping up with the Jones's". In the 80's, the "young upwardly mobile" junior execs all raced out to buy their BMW's. They actually didn't plan on keeping them more than a year or so because they planned to trade them as soon as possible. Consider this to the younger mentality of expensive and flashy sneakers. I'm a baby boomer who grew out of poverty and had to make every penny last. Since then, I've always bought a vehicle with intentions of keeping it at least 10 years and/or 150K miles before thinking about replacing it.
My mom just traded her 2017 Santa Fe sport because it burned 2 Quarts every 1.5k miles. Only had 80k miles. It was ridiculous. She got a 2019 rav 4 with 17k miles. I’m happy she listened to me and got a Toyota.
I bought my 2015 Murano in 2018. No problems yet. Regular oil changes and fluid changes. Of course, I don't drive a lot, that may have something to do with it
I have a 2015 Nissan Murano SL, and with regular maintenance I’ve had absolutely no problems. I am looking forward to the 2025 model, but in the meantime, extremely content with what I have now. Plus I have 65,000 miles on it.
just change the cvt fluid and dont drive like you have a sports car and you should be good, i have a camaro now but had zero issues with both my nissans
I own a 2017 Murano, purchased new in 2016. I had previously owned a 2007 Murano that I traded in for the 2017 model and it had been an excellent absolutely trouble free vehicle which is why I decided to stay with Nissan. The only issue I've had with the 2017 is front wheel bearings that needed replacement at around 70,000 miles, no doubt due in part to the rigours of our sub-standard road conditions. I've had the transmission oil changed at around 60,000 miles in 2023. I live in northern Canada along the coast and we have about 5 to 6 months of winter weather and heavily salted roads which are among probably some of the worst roads in the country. So in general, I have no significant problems or major issues with Nissan. I do run high test gas which is recommended for my vehicle and other than that just the regular oil, filter and standard maintenance items. The Murano is a pleasure to drive and has been completely reliable in all manner of extreme weather conditions which includes a lot of winter driving in hilly terrain where I live. And I'm not know to be easy on my vehicles, but I do pay attention to regular maintenance. I've had all my routine maintenance work done by my Nissan dealership where I've had excellent service. I've had none of the issues that this site is talking about. Maybe I'm just lucky so far, but it has me wondering what in the heck some drivers are doing, or not doing, to have so many problems. I also know several other owners who have Muranos and have not heard any complaint from any of them.
Never been able to buy a new car anyway. Our present car... probably the last one we can afford..is a 2004 Honda Edix..just cleared 208 000 km.....just usual running maintenance costs...2 litre engine that runs like a charm but a bit heavy on petrol at about 10litres/100 km.... NZ 🇳🇿
Yes I believe in if things are running well and you don’t owe anything to the bank, then that’s a true keeper. I have a vehicle too that’s heavy on fuel, but I don’t owe any payments so it’s easy to keep around
I’m the original owner of a 2010 Nissan Sentra with shy of 140k miles with absolutely no issues, except changing the oil and break pads myself. Here is the catch about my car: Since I took it out of the Nissan dealership, are you ready for this? I NEVER took it back for any free or charged maintenance!! LOL! My mental disease is that I never trust any mechanics!! The only thing that I religiously have done in the last 13 years is paying for highest price fuel (VPower) by Shell gas stations.
The best used car for me is Lexus for luxury, durability, reliability and comfort don’t look any further than a Lexus all day long. A poor man Royce Rolls😀
Im Still driving a all original 1988 Lincoln town car with 265,000 miles on it, it's been on the road for over 3 decades and ive still never been towed, the paint is still attached, and all it's had is regular fluid changes on the engine, transmission, and rear differential, brake pads and tires and ball joints, these days its like they are designed to fail and screw the owner...
I bought a 2016 Nissan rouge SL used. It had around 8000 when I bought it. I have had absolutely zero issues with it other then regular maintenance. The car has 185,000 miles and the serpentine belt just broke. Other then that I have not had to change one single part on the motor. The last vehicle I would buy right now is a cheaply built ford. They have the highest recalls of any vehicle at the moment.
I guess it's a draw of the luck. I have a 2009 rogue that I bought brand new. When it hit 100,000 miles in 2020 I had to have the transmission rebuilt. It had had all maintance done according to mileage since I bought it. Now, 2024 here comes the transmission again. Slipping. I don't wait for the 30,000 mile CVT fluid change. I did my CVT fluid change every other year. No where close in the 30,000 mileage change. I am going back to honda and Toyota. NO intentions on rebuilding the transmission again. Not coming out of toyota or honda anymore.
I bought a 2004 Chevy Impala brand new and have now owned it it for 19 years without any major issues , never any engine or transmission problems just regular maintenance and replacement parts like engine mounts,ball joints,radiator thermostat and battery pretty much. I drive it almost everyday and take it on long road trips
That's great to hear! I've been kinda ashamed of what I've heard about most of the models of cars & SUVs from American car makers(Trucks seem 2 be the exception,but i never been interested in those,as a petite woman that doesn't do hauling or rednecking,whatever)..I wish the American car co.were in the categories w/Toyotas & Hondas,as far as reliability,low maintenance problems & 250-300k engine life/longevity,but they haven't been up 2 par w/them 4 yrs....I have been wanting & wondering if I should even consider a Chevy Camero or Corvette. Mustangs are attractive,but I doubt I could ever get comfortable enuf to fully trust putting my $ down on any Fords (sorry 2 say).
We have our 2nd Fiat 500. It has 100K miles. We change the oil every 3K at the local Jeep dealer. So far, we had to replace two tail light bulbs, brakes, and tires. Not bad!
I bought a new Fiat 500 in 2011. I needed a clutch at 100,000 miles. The motor failed at 208,000 with the original struts and brakes still in the car. I had a new, used, engine put in then brakes and struts. Still driving it at 228,000. The car is an absolute pleasure to drive.
What make this so sad Mark, is our economy is starting to price millions out of new car purchases, so they are stuck flipping a coin on what out of warranty used car they can afford.
That’s on purpose. The world economic forum doesn’t want most to own cars- but - instead be stuck living in 15 minute cities. And Don’t even think for a single moment that “everyone” will “just” have an electric vehicle Not gonna happen Most will be on foot or bike or rental
I don't completely agree. I believe the consumer caused the increase prices in cars and the automobile companies ran away with it. People prefer SUVs and Trucks and naturally they will cost more than a car. Then people need the heated steering wheels, expensive infotainment systems which drive the cost of cars. Just a few years ago many companies offered a variety of cheap entry level vehicles but people stopped buying them so they are gone off the market. Today everyone wants an X5, Lexus RRH350 and Ford F150s. So if people want those vehicles or any thing close to it you will have to pay for it.
@@hahamasala Yes and the worse thing is that these consumer preferences ruined it for everyone else. I will need to replace my vehicle in a few years and I want a low prices car not an SUV in the lower 20k range. There pretty much very few options in this price range. I will have to pay 30k + for a vehicle.
I bought my Nissan Pathfinder 2005 and had a transmission problem 2016 till today. Am not going back to Nissan anymore. They have nice designs, but transmission always bad.
Real story, had a 2004 Hyundai Elantra before, the transmission fell on the ground literally on my way home from work one day, luckily it was still under warranty and Hyundai paid for the repair, but I would not buy another one.
You should do the Hyundai Tucson. My wife and I have a 2016 and it's in the shop every 6 months for new catalytic converters. And always having to get oil changes every 1000 miles and the dealers don't care nor help.
On the BMW X-5, why not go to a tire store, like Discount tire and just get ONE tire replaced? I certainly wouldn't go back to the dealer to buy tires.
I've never had the issues with Nissan that your stating neither has my friends we are going on 10 yrs daily use. I've been way more impressed with my Nissan and Mazda vehicles than my 2 new Chevy products. I want to buy state side but you get alot more luxuries and less issues buying Nissan & Mazda for me. I'm including feedback from friends & family vehicles over the yrs as well.
Baloney!! I have a 2013 Subaru Impreza that has been PERFECT! Zero engine problems, zero CVT transmission problems and I love how smooth yet responsive that CVT is. 11 year old car that has been perfect. Other than tire replacements and oil changes etc, not one penny spent on anything.
Thank you for great content. My 2015 Nissan Versa Note is faultless. Regular maintenance and every 30K miles the CVT fluid gets changed. With modern cars less is more in my opinion. No turbo charged engines, no paddle shift semi automatic transmissions, no sunroofs. I want a car that starts and moves everytime, not a premium paperweight.
Buddy works at a Jag/LR dealership in parts. There is a death fleet behind building. Can't get parts or can't fix them. They don't even work on them if they are over 10 yrs old. Keep that crap in UK.
Thank you for making these videos. I've learned alot from them. Currently, I own a 2015 Chevy Malibu LS with 220,000 miles. Had a used transmission installed at 207,000 miles. Great car. Looking at buying a certified Toyota Highlander for my next purchase.
I bought a 2002 4runner with 270k and it's been cheaper to maintenance then my 2019 Subaru outback which at 130k time to go that CVT is the only thing that is making me get rid of it, I can only imagine catastrophic failure with the turbo versions with the 2.4L vs N/A 2.5L.
And there you have it, the list of cars that the original owners knew enough to dump before the warranty was up. The question is not why to dump but when. It is also a good idea to check vehicle history when buying CPO or low mileage /one (responsible) owner cars to see what inherent gremlins have infected the vehicle. We bought a new 2007 Jaguar X-Type at such time from a Jaguar dealer and the electrical system suffered a complete failure at 14K miles. It was under warranty but we dumped that car on a trade-in while it was being repaired at Jaguar because this seemed to be a forecast of things to come. The trade was for a Lincoln T-Car, which was more reliable despite the same company ownership.
The first year Altima I bought brand new in 1996, was garbage? Noisy engine, handled like a boat on wheels, road noise was horrible? The newer one's were popular, but CVT's were junk? The Murano was worse, since it had a more powerful V6, which destroyed the CVT's even faster?
Oh yeah. My just retired from Nissan.38 years in . Vice President of vehicle development industry. You wouldn’t believe the stuff he’s tells me about that company. !! It’s like you’re back in high school. Everything is about money. And ripping of the costumers… !!
When it comes to the BMW with valve cover and oil filter housing gaskets leaking, you don’t simply replace the gaskets. You have to replace the valve cover and oil filter housing because they are made of plastic and warp so resealing doesn’t work. BMW = Bring Mama’s Wallet!
Our 2013 Santa Fe gave us a lot of anxiety when the dealership said all our car needed was an engine flush and firmware update after alot of noises and tensioner replacements. They did extend the warranty by 20,000 miles which was good because the engine failed at 110000 and we got a replacement. We've had no other problems and we're gonna see how long we can keep it.
I got a 2018 VW Jetta SE TSI Wolfsburg in February 2021 with almost 10K on it. Now 32K. Only thing I had to replace is tires last April for $435 total to pass inspection in Pennsylvania. It’s a Certified vehicle and in addition to my 35K warranty I bought a 100K warranty on it. It’s like a warranty with AAA services. I love it’s pickup on the highway merging, 38 mpg and hardly have to put foot on gas constantly as it’s aerodynamics keeps it going. Paid 14,900 for it used. Went car shopping before the pandemic officially ended so I got a deal.
Probably the worst car ever made.) I had the same car. When my wife brought it. It only had 34 thousand miles on it.. once it hit 50 thousand miles.. the transmission started to slip. We took it back to the dealership. They so called fix it… but it was very clunky once you go past 60 . Never again. We’re going back to Lexus.
@@harveyhankerson8359You got a defective transmission, that’s it. A margin of error exists anywhere. You are basing your entire stance on a manufacturer based on your emotions, no merit to the argument, no logic, no statistical backing, only a single bad experience that may very well have been found in other automakers and their suppliers.
Im driving a all original 1988 Lincoln town car with 265,000 miles on it, it's been on the road for over 3 decades and ive still never been towed, the paint is still attached, and all it's had is regular fluid changes on the engine, transmission, and rear differential, brake pads and tires and ball joints, these days its like they are designed to fail and screw the owner...
I had the exact chevy cruze except it wasn't a premiere edition. It went into limp mode months after getting it, barely going 20mph would only start half time. It kept saying it was the transmission module. Gave it back to dealer, they said they put three different transmissions in it before it worked.
I had a 2006 Nissan Murano, it was nothing but nightmares. Consistant CVT issues, engine burning oil, timing chain and other electrical issues to name a few
A testament to Toyota Quality: I am the original owner of a 2004 4Runner, 185K miles. No repairs at all, only maintenance of course, batteries, tires, brakes, and on second timing belt. 4.7 liter 4-8, interference engine Standard maintenance at 90K miles. I chose the V-8 because I tow a 3000 LB boat. It will fly up a steep hill in the Pacific NW towing the boat. Best decision I ever made buying this rig! No rattles, drives, and still feels like new!
I 💯 % disagree, I've owned 2 nissan's. Currently I have 2016 Rogue w/ 132,000 miles, bought it @ 93,000 miles. I drove from NYC to Florida 3 times, from Florida to Virginia twice, from Florida to Nevada & back to Florida, from Florida to South Carolina & back to Florida, and from Florida to Arkansas 2x & back, 🗣 NOT A SINGLE REPPAIR DONE besides routine maintenance. And that was all done this year from April to November. Can't wait to 👀 where we go Rogue next year🤔🤷🏽 I did buy new tires because i did do alot of driving but all cars & trucks need tire replacement after x amount of miles. No matter what you drive, keep up with your regular scheduled maintenance & you'll be fine.
I wish Nissan would update the body of The Murano! My Favorite Vehicle. I’m Not trying to step on anyone Toes but I had 3 Muranos since 2014 (I always swap) Never had a Issue with the Murano. So many ppl Over the years always said Murano had a little problem with it must be true.
Had a 2011 Optima 274,000 km, it was using 2 liters of oil between oil changes. They only continue to go down hill from there, and it's not worth getting a used engine because it will be having issues of it's own. Then there is the cvt trans that should be seviced early in its life, but KIA will tell you not to touch. It's bad cars like these that help put people upside-down in their car loans because they can't afford the repair bill so they flip into a new loan on another car just to maintain a set monthly payment. Not saying it's right, it's just what they do.
You don’t 12:06 have to replace with run flats unless you’re leasing. I wasn’t pushed to replace with run flats, but did get an ok deal. It was about the 4K for non- M line parts, but it replaced the rear rotors and breaks. I think the cost is blown out of proportion. Could have gone to Costco and paid about $1.5k less on labor, but they don’t align cars so I would still need to go pay for an alignment. I guess it depends on your ability to be taken for a fool and choice of repair shop..
Totally agree on the Subaru. Complete engine replacement @ 78k miles, also oxygen sensors etc. failed.. later on Replaced fuel pump, transmission and other stuff I cant recall. Very nice vehicle to drive, when all is well, but the anxiety around potential failures is something else
I have never cared for Toyota. Idk what it is with them, but I just don't care for them. Now granted the only Toyota I've driven is a rental after an accident and that's what my insurance approved. I was happy to give it up when my car was repaired.
I have owned 6 Nissans. I didnt have any transmission issues. One of my Altimas had 450k miles until i got into a major accident and who knows how long that one would have lasted if i took care of of it.
I own an Impreza 2016 2L, 50000 mil, with stick. Avoided CVT. Very solid build car, none of the issues you are describing. None at all with the engine. Maybe there are some related to some specific production year. However, my car runs like a Toyota.
I drove a VW TDI ALH for 18 years going 682k kms sadly I sold it in Jan 2024 and now drive a 2011 Audi A3. I like that you talk about all cars. I have always felt I was restricted as to what to buy next because I had a great honest mechanic, a 30-year+ business relationship that it not worth switching to a non-VW brand like VW, Audi.
Had a 16 Nissan Rogue SV i bought back in 16 with 1,300 miles for 23,000 out the door. Never had a single prob with it. Traded it at 88,000 miles for a 21 Rogue SL Premium with 8,700 miles. Hoping i dont have any prob out of it either. Theyre def not long term vehicles and best to trade by 90,000 miles. My next vehicle, im thinking of the Hyundai Pallisade. What are your thoughts?
I had a Kia Sprectra. 2002 I had for 17 years it still ran good, the only thing is it rusted under neath .from all the salt and slushy ice. Loved that 🚗 🚘 🚔 🏎 car.
My 2017 Giulia has 65K miles and I've never had a problem in almost six years. Years ago I got into a big argument with a friend who swore the Alfa spec oil (that was hard to find five years ago) was "BS" because any oil of the proper weight would be fine. I said "if Alfa says use only this spec, that is the spec I will use, I don't care it costs twice as much as Supertech at Wal-Mart". I also had a 2012 Enclave for years that I gave to a young relative (still going strong at 160K miles) and when I got it my mechanic said "make sure you top off between oil changes, that GM 3.6 can stretch its chain due to low oil". He said 90% of the GM 3.6 we get in for stretched timing chain, the owner left oil in too long or didn't put enough in. So that's what I did and here it is at 160K purring like a kitty. I've learned that there are no unreliable cars, only unreliable owners.
Very true some people who laugh at this but when I was in college in the mid 90s 8 had an 86 Renault Alliance that I brought for 750 bucks. This is all I could afford however that car ran extremely well. I took very good care of with oil changes every 3k miles. I got a 160k miles off of that car!
Maintenance and how a person drives a vehicle definitely matter but there definitely are some poor, unreliable designs and sometimes parts and assembly have quality spills which lead to problems. I used to be an automotive reliability engineer.
I don't agree with your opinion on the Nissan Murano. I have a 2016, bought it used in 2018 and it has 66K miles and I have never had a single issue with it.
Also, the worst vehicles to buy used are the GMC Acadia, Dodge Journey, Mazda CX-7, Pontiac Grand Am, Ford Contour, Nissan Armada, Acura MDX, Saab 9-3 and so forth. Thank you very much and I wish all the mothers on this special day tomorrow. Happy Mother's Day!!!
@@davidprodigy5833 Modern Mazda's 2013 and up are pretty reliable prior to that they were affiliated with Ford so the reliability was worse including the CX-7.
Have you heard of Opel Mokka? I dont think you have it in the states/canada . But first generation (2012-2016) are really good and simple cars. Especially the 1.6 port injected gas non turbo engine with regular timingbelt and stickshift (i have it after getting burned by more modern stuff). If maintained, it works a long time. And fuel efficient. However same car with 1.4 turbo and timingchain, is another story.
I agree with the comment that new cars are so expensive many consumers balk of having to spend so much money on one. So the solution is to buy a good reliable used car. I bought a used 2014 Honda still under warranty. It now has 145,009 miles on the odometer. It actually has been reliable though not quite as good as the 1992 Honda which I finally had to get rid of at 295,092 miles. Extended warranties I find could be valuable in the long run.
How do you feel about the Toyota RAV? My uncle bought a brand new 2012 Honda CRV it's loaded they took his license away in 2015 so I have the car now. It has very low miles. 53971 I love the size of it would like to get something similar something a little newer?? I live in a very small town in Oklahoma I take care of my 84 year old father I just want to get something a little newer but I'm not sure? My uncle always help me but he passed away in 2019 I want to get something reliable that's going the last awhile
I bought many Japanese cars new over the years many different makes and models. I took good care of them. Got say Mazda and Subarus do not have the same built qualities and reliabilitie as Hondas and Toyotas. Dont be fooled thinking all japanese cars are reliable.
I just paid off my 2021 FORD ESCAPE HYBRID do you think this is a good vehicle or have any suggestions for a similar more reliable trade in. Thank you in advance.
Im not sure why nissan was so stubborn with the cvts on the muranos........never offered with a traditional auto. My bud leased one of those x-types back in the day........said it was a dog. VW has some sharp lookin vehicles but their quality control has been lacking for sooo long...... One question on that 2500 repair bill for 1 injector on the x5.....was that because the part was crazy expensive, or was there just a ton of labor charges tagged on the bill?
I recently bought a 2017 320i xDrive with 100k miles, I havent felt or seen any of the issues but at least I know what to look for possibly soon lol. It's my first car so I'm still learning what all to do and look out for (and by recently, I mean 4 months ago)
My coworker had two brand new Atlas with a toast motor, the first one was fixed by VW, then when it toast again, the same happened until Corporate said they won't fix it again. They cut a deal for him and he's left with another Atlas, he says that he likes the Atlas, even though it's toast twice. Go figure, maybe a masochist!!!!
Good maintenance is key. Plus a proven reliable vehicle WITH GOOD MAINTENANCE RECORD. My 2003 chevy trailblazer is about to hit 200k miles and it's still looks good inside and out. I take care of it. 5k mile oil changes every time.
I agree After owning 2. Also, Subaru will not cover warranty. They give you the run around. Worst reliability of all manufacturers that I owned. Even my rouge was more reliable 😅
I love my Porsche. There is a couple things I am not thrilled about. My engine does not have an oil dipstick. However the spout is there, you have to buy the dipstick at the local dealership or buy one online. There hasn't been an issue with the digital guages so not a big deal for me. My car is a 2020 Porsche Macan S. It has the audi sourced turbo 3.0L V6. It does use a liter of oil about every 7,000 miles and that is when I change it. One thing that irritates is the black outside door trim molding window panels, they crack and look tacky. I did have a cable in the rear drivers side door come loose. The door made a dull springing kinda noise when you shut it. Other than these things it's been a superb ride for me. It accelerates quickly, looks great and sounds good. I have been considering the MBRP muffler delete but it maybe to loud and also I do not want droning going down the interstate. Anybody try a muffler delete??
I am going to say this only once .. if the car have problems but you love the look or style ... you can fix it all ! Engine ia bad ? Rebuild the engine with performance parts ... bad transmission? Replace the parts with a reinforced ones ... rust ? Brand new painting ... after 10 years is never a bad ideal , same with suspensions .... you have bilstein , Kw and many others. Do with once ... pay the price but keep what you like
Oh yeah. I had to sell mine. It’s was pure junk. And I just paid it off. To. 189 thousand miles on it. And my engine blew up !! UNBELIEVABLE. Never again 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬
The Nissan Qashqai, after my BMW and VW, was by far the best car oout I have owned. Very low cost of maintenance, extremely economical diesel and virtually silent. Tastes may indeed differ.
Thanks for the tip on the 2015 FIAT 500C Abarth, I'm in the process of purchasing one but seems these cars always have accidents. Can't find one that wasn't in an accident. One I'm looking at is 5 speed, 1.4L engine but has been in an accident..
Wtf,I was a little confused at first when talking about the 1st car,if u were referring 2 all Nissans or just the Murano(cuz it was a while b4 u showed the model name/brought up it's name)? I noticed the Murano was on the list of 15-30 best used SUVs to buy( that are around 10yr. & up) on 2or3 articles/lists I just saw last wk..
forget warranty they build this junk for one 8th of what you pay!! corporation thieves. i believe most of you are wealthy or brain dead !!! car that costs 40000 should be 23000 thd 50000 mi. warranty noooo cvt trannies!!!! true warranty noooo bull shit...
Mark I love your videos I just have a minute to say thank you I’m sharing this video with family and friends Bravo my best wishes always from Las Vegas Craig
I owned a certified pre owned BMW 320i xdrive. It was a 2014 model and I got it in 2017 with ~33k miles on it. I owned it for 5 years and sold it at the end of last year with 95 K miles on it. I was in school back then and was able to get in a cheap BMW.. It had the so called the infamous N20 engine I guess. Besides brake pads, tires and regular maintenance I didn't pay for any major problems. Great way to get into the brand and no regrets. At the end of the day it all depends on how you drive and take care of your car.
Me too, I had 2015 328ì, I never had any problems with engine suspension or electrical with this car, I had it for 4 years. I bought when car had 80,000 km on it, and sold it with 125,000 km. The only problem was with transfer case. It was making hesitation shaking for about 2 seconds when i was driving 60 80 kmh when ever I wanted lightly accelerate car was shaking like transmission jerking. So I decided to change the car, now I bought 2016 x3 35i, this is real beast.
My Wife bought a Murano Platinum edition , never has had a problem ... stone chips from her trips across the Country . We had a Mazda bought the dealership service people were DISHONEST - TERRIBLE
I bought a BMW f10 535d with full BMW service history, 30.000 Miles, and the small turbo has given up so I am having both replaced lovely car to drive but reliability not good so far
I drive a 2019 Murano. Haven’t had any issues with it. I don’t drive as often anymore since I retired. I’m thinking about going EV but I’m undecided about which EV to get. What are some of the best EV’s I should be looking at?
Thanks for not playing a bunch of music.I can actually sit here and listen to you.

Fix It Again Tony - FIAT owns Chrysler and all CVT tranny's are made in South Korea
Shame becasue Korea is kool
Their recent 4 cylinder GDI engines are massively unreliable.
I still see many Nissan Altima (2008-2010)models on the roads. They all look beat up but they're still running.
Other than the transmissions they’re actually pretty good. The transmission failure rates are high but most of them still last somewhat long, so there’s lots still on the road.
@@bige3201CVT don't shift 😂
@@darmhokmy 2012 Altima had 250,000 miles before the CVT went out and I used to drive the crap out that car.
I’m looking to buy another one

You need to do some research. Continuously variable means no shifts.
Thanks for these videos. Especially for those of us not able to buy a brand new car from a dealership, and would preferably avoid paying for sky high prices on fixing an unreliable car found in a used car lot.
Why do they make junk?
I will NEVER understand how people can mistreat something that costs so much money. My car is a 2016 Scion with 58k, and the car still looks fantastic because I take care of it. Thanks for the tips man!
Ungrateful, Laziness etc and plenty of that going around
Yeap
There used to be a term, "conspicuous consumerism" which translates as, "keeping up with the Jones's". In the 80's, the "young upwardly mobile" junior execs all raced out to buy their BMW's. They actually didn't plan on keeping them more than a year or so because they planned to trade them as soon as possible. Consider this to the younger mentality of expensive and flashy sneakers.
I'm a baby boomer who grew out of poverty and had to make every penny last. Since then, I've always bought a vehicle with intentions of keeping it at least 10 years and/or 150K miles before thinking about replacing it.
You have a scion so how can it look good ??? It was a shit box since it was first introduced lmaooo
My mom just traded her 2017 Santa Fe sport because it burned 2 Quarts every 1.5k miles. Only had 80k miles. It was ridiculous. She got a 2019 rav 4 with 17k miles. I’m happy she listened to me and got a Toyota.
I bought my 2015 Murano in 2018. No problems yet. Regular oil changes and fluid changes. Of course, I don't drive a lot, that may have something to do with it
2017.5 Murano & now 2024 Murano. No wrenches yet. Just lucky I guess. 🤷♂️
I have a 2015 Nissan Murano SL, and with regular maintenance I’ve had absolutely no problems. I am looking forward to the 2025 model, but in the meantime, extremely content with what I have now. Plus I have 65,000 miles on it.
just change the cvt fluid and dont drive like you have a sports car and you should be good, i have a camaro now but had zero issues with both my nissans
I own a 2017 Murano, purchased new in 2016. I had previously owned a 2007 Murano that I traded in for the 2017 model and it had been an excellent absolutely trouble free vehicle which is why I decided to stay with Nissan. The only issue I've had with the 2017 is front wheel bearings that needed replacement at around 70,000 miles, no doubt due in part to the rigours of our sub-standard road conditions. I've had the transmission oil changed at around 60,000 miles in 2023. I live in northern Canada along the coast and we have about 5 to 6 months of winter weather and heavily salted roads which are among probably some of the worst roads in the country. So in general, I have no significant problems or major issues with Nissan. I do run high test gas which is recommended for my vehicle and other than that just the regular oil, filter and standard maintenance items. The Murano is a pleasure to drive and has been completely reliable in all manner of extreme weather conditions which includes a lot of winter driving in hilly terrain where I live. And I'm not know to be easy on my vehicles, but I do pay attention to regular maintenance. I've had all my routine maintenance work done by my Nissan dealership where I've had excellent service. I've had none of the issues that this site is talking about. Maybe I'm just lucky so far, but it has me wondering what in the heck some drivers are doing, or not doing, to have so many problems. I also know several other owners who have Muranos and have not heard any complaint from any of them.
Never been able to buy a new car anyway. Our present car... probably the last one we can afford..is a 2004 Honda Edix..just cleared 208 000 km.....just usual running maintenance costs...2 litre engine that runs like a charm but a bit heavy on petrol at about 10litres/100 km.... NZ 🇳🇿
Yes I believe in if things are running well and you don’t owe anything to the bank, then that’s a true keeper. I have a vehicle too that’s heavy on fuel, but I don’t owe any payments so it’s easy to keep around
I’m the original owner of a 2010 Nissan Sentra with shy of 140k miles with absolutely no issues, except changing the oil and break pads myself. Here is the catch about my car: Since I took it out of the Nissan dealership, are you ready for this? I NEVER took it back for any free or charged maintenance!! LOL! My mental disease is that I never trust any mechanics!! The only thing that I religiously have done in the last 13 years is paying for highest price fuel (VPower) by Shell gas stations.
Thank you for this!
@@alexv259 I love Shell and Mobil gas that is all that I use.

You are right bro.Also,Toyota owns Lexus and Toyota cars are one of the most reliable and durable cars.
Im Still driving a all original 1988 Lincoln town car with 265,000 miles on it, it's been on the road for over 3 decades and ive still never been towed, the paint is still attached, and all it's had is regular fluid changes on the engine, transmission, and rear differential, brake pads and tires and ball joints, these days its like they are designed to fail and screw the owner...

I bought a 2016 Nissan rouge SL used. It had around 8000 when I bought it. I have had absolutely zero issues with it other then regular maintenance. The car has 185,000 miles and the serpentine belt just broke. Other then that I have not had to change one single part on the motor. The last vehicle I would buy right now is a cheaply built ford. They have the highest recalls of any vehicle at the moment.
Did you change the transmission fluid regularly?
No water leaks?
I want a rouge or murano so bad
I guess it's a draw of the luck. I have a 2009 rogue that I bought brand new. When it hit 100,000 miles in 2020 I had to have the transmission rebuilt. It had had all maintance done according to mileage since I bought it. Now, 2024 here comes the transmission again. Slipping. I don't wait for the 30,000 mile CVT fluid change. I did my CVT fluid change every other year. No where close in the 30,000 mileage change. I am going back to honda and Toyota. NO intentions on rebuilding the transmission again. Not coming out of toyota or honda anymore.
@Arizona_lilly Good luck!! Nissan are known for bad transmissions but you might get lucky.
I must say sir you do a wonderful job getting the correct information out there for consumers
I appreciate that!
I bought a 2004 Chevy Impala brand new and have now owned it it for 19 years without any major issues , never any engine or transmission problems just regular maintenance and replacement parts like engine mounts,ball joints,radiator thermostat and battery pretty much. I drive it almost everyday and take it on long road trips
Back in the day when Chevy made decent quality vehicles.
American automobiles!!!❤
That's great to hear! I've been kinda ashamed of what I've heard about most of the models of cars & SUVs from American car makers(Trucks seem 2 be the exception,but i never been interested in those,as a petite woman that doesn't do hauling or rednecking,whatever)..I wish the American car co.were in the categories w/Toyotas & Hondas,as far as reliability,low maintenance problems & 250-300k engine life/longevity,but they haven't been up 2 par w/them 4 yrs....I have been wanting & wondering if I should even consider a Chevy Camero or Corvette. Mustangs are attractive,but I doubt I could ever get comfortable enuf to fully trust putting my $ down on any Fords (sorry 2 say).

We have our 2nd Fiat 500. It has 100K miles. We change the oil every 3K at the local Jeep dealer. So far, we had to replace two tail light bulbs, brakes, and tires. Not bad!
The Abarth 500 will be a collectors car soon.
I bought a new Fiat 500 in 2011. I needed a clutch at 100,000 miles. The motor failed at 208,000 with the original struts and brakes still in the car. I had a new, used, engine put in then brakes and struts. Still driving it at 228,000. The car is an absolute pleasure to drive.
mine was a dud, i sold it to a poor old lady who cant afford to fix it, i ripped her of for the dud of a car !!!
What make this so sad Mark, is our economy is starting to price millions out of new car purchases, so they are stuck flipping a coin on what out of warranty used car they can afford.
That’s on purpose. The world economic forum doesn’t want most to own cars- but - instead be stuck living in 15 minute cities.
And
Don’t even think for a single moment that “everyone” will “just” have an electric vehicle
Not gonna happen
Most will be on foot or bike or rental
I don't completely agree. I believe the consumer caused the increase prices in cars and the automobile companies ran away with it. People prefer SUVs and Trucks and naturally they will cost more than a car. Then people need the heated steering wheels, expensive infotainment systems which drive the cost of cars. Just a few years ago many companies offered a variety of cheap entry level vehicles but people stopped buying them so they are gone off the market. Today everyone wants an X5, Lexus RRH350 and Ford F150s. So if people want those vehicles or any thing close to it you will have to pay for it.
It's not our economy. It's our preferences for expensive SUVs and pickup trucks and corporate greed.
@@bh2155 Exactly. I saw your comment after I posted a shorter one with a similar sentiment.
@@hahamasala Yes and the worse thing is that these consumer preferences ruined it for everyone else. I will need to replace my vehicle in a few years and I want a low prices car not an SUV in the lower 20k range. There pretty much very few options in this price range. I will have to pay 30k + for a vehicle.

Real story, had a 2004 Hyundai Elantra before, the transmission fell on the ground literally on my way home from work one day, luckily it was still under warranty and Hyundai paid for the repair, but I would not buy another one.

You should do the Hyundai Tucson. My wife and I have a 2016 and it's in the shop every 6 months for new catalytic converters. And always having to get oil changes every 1000 miles and the dealers don't care nor help.
Does it burn oil?
I have a wonderful 2010 HONDA FIT. 150,000 Miles. Costs almost nothing to operate. God bless the salesman I bought it from!
On the BMW X-5, why not go to a tire store, like Discount tire and just get ONE tire replaced? I certainly wouldn't go back to the dealer to buy tires.
You cannot do 1 tire only because AWD must use same size wheels. If 1 wheel spin faster than other, your transmission will fu@ked.

I'm including feedback from friends & family vehicles over the yrs as well.
Baloney!! I have a 2013 Subaru Impreza that has been PERFECT! Zero engine problems, zero CVT transmission problems and I love how smooth yet responsive that CVT is. 11 year old car that has been perfect. Other than tire replacements and oil changes etc, not one penny spent on anything.
Maybe keep my horse & buggy after all, after watching THIS!
(Time to reshoe now.)
Kawasaki Z125 for me
Thank you for great content. My 2015 Nissan Versa Note is faultless. Regular maintenance and every 30K miles the CVT fluid gets changed. With modern cars less is more in my opinion. No turbo charged engines, no paddle shift semi automatic transmissions, no sunroofs. I want a car that starts and moves everytime, not a premium paperweight.
Buddy works at a Jag/LR dealership in parts. There is a death fleet behind building. Can't get parts or can't fix them. They don't even work on them if they are over 10 yrs old. Keep that crap in UK.
Great to know. Thanks
My XF is 10 years old, it's been fairly reliable. Gorgeous inside and out, plus it drives well. Love it!
I laughed when you referenced the dead Moose on the BMW X5. I have friends in Edmonton who say that all the time😂 Good video
Thank you for making these videos. I've learned alot from them. Currently, I own a 2015 Chevy Malibu LS with 220,000 miles. Had a used transmission installed at 207,000 miles. Great car. Looking at buying a certified Toyota Highlander for my next purchase.
Thanks for watching, Sean. Good luck and the Toyota likely will last a long time
I bought a 2002 4runner with 270k and it's been cheaper to maintenance then my 2019 Subaru outback which at 130k time to go that CVT is the only thing that is making me get rid of it, I can only imagine catastrophic failure with the turbo versions with the 2.4L vs N/A 2.5L.

@@edwinmedina4338 i bought a 2022 crosstrek with the 6 speed manual. you can have that CVT
I have had a BMW without no issues .Unfortunately it was totaled in an accident.
And there you have it, the list of cars that the original owners knew enough to dump before the warranty was up. The question is not why to dump but when. It is also a good idea to check vehicle history when buying CPO or low mileage /one (responsible) owner cars to see what inherent gremlins have infected the vehicle. We bought a new 2007 Jaguar X-Type at such time from a Jaguar dealer and the electrical system suffered a complete failure at 14K miles. It was under warranty but we dumped that car on a trade-in while it was being repaired at Jaguar because this seemed to be a forecast of things to come. The trade was for a Lincoln T-Car, which was more reliable despite the same company ownership.
The first year Altima I bought brand new in 1996, was garbage? Noisy engine, handled like a boat on wheels, road noise was horrible? The newer one's were popular, but CVT's were junk? The Murano was worse, since it had a more powerful V6, which destroyed the CVT's even faster?
Yuppers

When it comes to the BMW with valve cover and oil filter housing gaskets leaking, you don’t simply replace the gaskets. You have to replace the valve cover and oil filter housing because they are made of plastic and warp so resealing doesn’t work. BMW = Bring Mama’s Wallet!

Wow!
My 2013 altimas at 170. Great car.
I bought a 2022 Nissan Sentra new, and to date, not one issue.
Our 2013 Santa Fe gave us a lot of anxiety when the dealership said all our car needed was an engine flush and firmware update after alot of noises and tensioner replacements. They did extend the warranty by 20,000 miles which was good because the engine failed at 110000 and we got a replacement. We've had no other problems and we're gonna see how long we can keep it.
I got a 2018 VW Jetta SE TSI Wolfsburg in February 2021 with almost 10K on it. Now 32K. Only thing I had to replace is tires last April for $435 total to pass inspection in Pennsylvania. It’s a Certified vehicle and in addition to my 35K warranty I bought a 100K warranty on it. It’s like a warranty with AAA services. I love it’s pickup on the highway merging, 38 mpg and hardly have to put foot on gas constantly as it’s aerodynamics keeps it going. Paid 14,900 for it used. Went car shopping before the pandemic officially ended so I got a deal.
Probably the worst car ever made.) I had the same car. When my wife brought it. It only had 34 thousand miles on it.. once it hit 50 thousand miles.. the transmission started to slip. We took it back to the dealership. They so called fix it… but it was very clunky once you go past 60 . Never again. We’re going back to Lexus.
@@harveyhankerson8359You got a defective transmission, that’s it. A margin of error exists anywhere.

I had the exact chevy cruze except it wasn't a premiere edition. It went into limp mode months after getting it, barely going 20mph would only start half time. It kept saying it was the transmission module. Gave it back to dealer, they said they put three different transmissions in it before it worked.
I had a 2006 Nissan Murano, it was nothing but nightmares. Consistant CVT issues, engine burning oil, timing chain and other electrical issues to name a few
A testament to Toyota Quality: I am the original owner of a 2004 4Runner, 185K miles. No repairs at all, only maintenance of course, batteries, tires,
brakes, and on second timing belt. 4.7 liter 4-8, interference engine Standard maintenance at 90K miles. I chose the V-8 because I tow a 3000 LB boat. It will fly up a steep hill in the Pacific NW towing the boat. Best decision I ever made buying this rig! No rattles, drives, and still feels like new!

And that was all done this year from April to November. Can't wait to 👀 where we go Rogue next year🤔🤷🏽 I did buy new tires because i did do alot of driving but all cars & trucks need tire replacement after x amount of miles.

I wish Nissan would update the body of The Murano! My Favorite Vehicle. I’m
Not trying to step on anyone Toes but I had 3 Muranos since 2014 (I always swap) Never had a Issue with the Murano. So many ppl Over the years always said Murano had a little problem with it must be true.
I had an Xtype diesel and it was fine. No problems at all, in fact at the time that's why I bought it. It was rated as one of the best for reliablity
Had a 2011 Optima 274,000 km, it was using 2 liters of oil between oil changes. They only continue to go down hill from there, and it's not worth getting a used engine because it will be having issues of it's own. Then there is the cvt trans that should be seviced early in its life, but KIA will tell you not to touch. It's bad cars like these that help put people upside-down in their car loans because they can't afford the repair bill so they flip into a new loan on another car just to maintain a set monthly payment. Not saying it's right, it's just what they do.
Totally agree. Not a good scene
Please do a vlog on extended car warranties and service contracts offered by BMW, Audi etc vs third party offers
You don’t 12:06 have to replace with run flats unless you’re leasing. I wasn’t pushed to replace with run flats, but did get an ok deal. It was about the 4K for non- M line parts, but it replaced the rear rotors and breaks. I think the cost is blown out of proportion. Could have gone to Costco and paid about $1.5k less on labor, but they don’t align cars so I would still need to go pay for an alignment. I guess it depends on your ability to be taken for a fool and choice of repair shop..
Totally agree on the Subaru. Complete engine replacement @ 78k miles, also oxygen sensors etc. failed.. later on Replaced fuel pump, transmission and other stuff I cant recall. Very nice vehicle to drive, when all is well, but the anxiety around potential failures is something else
What year model Subaru?
I have never cared for Toyota. Idk what it is with them, but I just don't care for them. Now granted the only Toyota I've driven is a rental after an accident and that's what my insurance approved. I was happy to give it up when my car was repaired.
I have owned 6 Nissans. I didnt have any transmission issues. One of my Altimas had 450k miles until i got into a major accident and who knows how long that one would have lasted if i took care of of it.
I owned a 2017 murano platinum and had no issues.
I own an Impreza 2016 2L, 50000 mil, with stick. Avoided CVT. Very solid build car, none of the issues you are describing. None at all with the engine. Maybe there are some related to some specific production year. However, my car runs like a Toyota.
You earned my sub when you recommended Toyota / Mazda over the Nissan. Toyotas especially are known for their reliability.
I drove a VW TDI ALH for 18 years going 682k kms sadly I sold it in Jan 2024 and now drive a 2011 Audi A3. I like that you talk about all cars. I have always felt I was restricted as to what to buy next because I had a great honest mechanic, a 30-year+ business relationship that it not worth switching to a non-VW brand like VW, Audi.
I have a Chevy Cruze LT 2013. I have had no problems with it over ten years. However, I have only put 45000 miles on it.
thats fairly low miles
Had a 16 Nissan Rogue SV i bought back in 16 with 1,300 miles for 23,000 out the door. Never had a single prob with it. Traded it at 88,000 miles for a 21 Rogue SL Premium with 8,700 miles. Hoping i dont have any prob out of it either. Theyre def not long term vehicles and best to trade by 90,000 miles. My next vehicle, im thinking of the Hyundai Pallisade. What are your thoughts?

Well…..
My 2017 Giulia has 65K miles and I've never had a problem in almost six years. Years ago I got into a big argument with a friend who swore the Alfa spec oil (that was hard to find five years ago) was "BS" because any oil of the proper weight would be fine. I said "if Alfa says use only this spec, that is the spec I will use, I don't care it costs twice as much as Supertech at Wal-Mart". I also had a 2012 Enclave for years that I gave to a young relative (still going strong at 160K miles) and when I got it my mechanic said "make sure you top off between oil changes, that GM 3.6 can stretch its chain due to low oil". He said 90% of the GM 3.6 we get in for stretched timing chain, the owner left oil in too long or didn't put enough in. So that's what I did and here it is at 160K purring like a kitty. I've learned that there are no unreliable cars, only unreliable owners.
Very true some people who laugh at this but when I was in college in the mid 90s 8 had an 86 Renault Alliance that I brought for 750 bucks. This is all I could afford however that car ran extremely well. I took very good care of with oil changes every 3k miles. I got a 160k miles off of that car!
Maintenance and how a person drives a vehicle definitely matter but there definitely are some poor, unreliable designs and sometimes parts and assembly have quality spills which lead to problems. I used to be an automotive reliability engineer.
X gf owned a Nissa Murano -- full warranty. The A/C went out and they refused to make the repairs. 🤦♂️

Especially the 1.6 port injected gas non turbo engine with regular timingbelt and stickshift (i have it after getting burned by more modern stuff). If maintained, it works a long time. And fuel efficient. However same car with 1.4 turbo and timingchain, is another story.

I agree with the comment that new cars are so expensive many consumers balk of having to spend so much money on one. So the solution is to buy a good reliable used car.
I bought a used 2014 Honda still under warranty. It now has 145,009 miles on the odometer. It actually has been reliable though not quite as good as the 1992 Honda which I finally had to get rid of at 295,092 miles.
Extended warranties I find could be valuable in the long run.

The 2016 to 2018 are very reliable. Also, the 2021 to 2023. The 2019 and 2020 has transmission shifting issues.
I bought many Japanese cars new over the years many different makes and models. I took good care of them. Got say Mazda and Subarus do not have the same built qualities and reliabilitie as Hondas and Toyotas. Dont be fooled thinking all japanese cars are reliable.

Im not sure why nissan was so stubborn with the cvts on the muranos........never offered with a traditional auto. My bud leased one of those x-types back in the day........said it was a dog. VW has some sharp lookin vehicles but their quality control has been lacking for sooo long......
One question on that 2500 repair bill for 1 injector on the x5.....was that because the part was crazy expensive, or was there just a ton of labor charges tagged on the bill?
Because spaghetti on top of the engine. Until you reach there, you are a few day older.
I recently bought a 2017 320i xDrive with 100k miles, I havent felt or seen any of the issues but at least I know what to look for possibly soon lol. It's my first car so I'm still learning what all to do and look out for (and by recently, I mean 4 months ago)
My coworker had two brand new Atlas with a toast motor, the first one was fixed by VW, then when it toast again, the same happened until Corporate said they won't fix it again. They cut a deal for him and he's left with another Atlas, he says that he likes the Atlas, even though it's toast twice. Go figure, maybe a masochist!!!!
Good maintenance is key. Plus a proven reliable vehicle WITH GOOD MAINTENANCE RECORD. My 2003 chevy trailblazer is about to hit 200k miles and it's still looks good inside and out. I take care of it. 5k mile oil changes every time.
Subaru oil consumption is unreal. My 2015 low mileage Forester consumed 29:25 about a quart every 500 miles.
my tribeca gets crappy gas mileage. 18-19 combined city and highway driving. Glad i sold to a private buyer for 4k back in 2015,
Subarus are overrated junk.
I agree
After owning 2. Also, Subaru will not cover warranty. They give you the run around. Worst reliability of all manufacturers that I owned. Even my rouge was more reliable 😅
Curious on what weight and brand of oil you were using in that Subaru? 🤔
It burned all weights. A bit better either way 5/30 but still totally unacceptable. Dealer said it was “normal” . It’s not
I love my Porsche. There is a couple things I am not thrilled about. My engine does not have an oil dipstick. However the spout is there, you have to buy the dipstick at the local dealership or buy one online. There hasn't been an issue with the digital guages so not a big deal for me. My car is a 2020 Porsche Macan S. It has the audi sourced turbo 3.0L V6. It does use a liter of oil about every 7,000 miles and that is when I change it. One thing that irritates is the black outside door trim molding window panels, they crack and look tacky. I did have a cable in the rear drivers side door come loose. The door made a dull springing kinda noise when you shut it. Other than these things it's been a superb ride for me. It accelerates quickly, looks great and sounds good. I have been considering the MBRP muffler delete but it maybe to loud and also I do not want droning going down the interstate. Anybody try a muffler delete??
Thanks for sharing
I am going to say this only once .. if the car have problems but you love the look or style ... you can fix it all !
Engine ia bad ? Rebuild the engine with performance parts ... bad transmission? Replace the parts with a reinforced ones ... rust ? Brand new painting ... after 10 years is never a bad ideal , same with suspensions .... you have bilstein , Kw and many others.
Do with once ... pay the price but keep what you like
You provide loans?
Yeah replace plastic parts and rubber band trannys with better plastic parts and better rubber bands
Yup I have Hyundai Tuscon and the engine is burning oil and the transmition is fucked
2016 Hyundai Tucson.
Oh yeah. I had to sell mine. It’s was pure junk. And I just paid it off. To. 189 thousand miles on it. And my engine blew up !! UNBELIEVABLE. Never again 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡🤬
I had kia sportage 2019 150 kms was burning oil crazy. Burning oil more than gas.
The Nissan Qashqai, after my BMW and VW, was by far the best car oout I have owned. Very low cost of maintenance, extremely economical diesel and virtually silent.
Tastes may indeed differ.
Thanks for sharing
My 09 maxima is awesome. Nothing out of the normal with my cvt. Has never let me down
Great to hear.
Thanks for the tip on the 2015 FIAT 500C Abarth, I'm in the process of purchasing one but seems these cars always have accidents.
Can't find one that wasn't in an accident.
One I'm looking at is 5 speed, 1.4L engine but has been in an accident..
You’d think Nissan would know better by now using that CVT. Give me a Toyota or Honda like a RAV-4 or a CV-R any day! Thanx for the video.
Yes...i do like the nissan frontier trucks though.
Wtf,I was a little confused at first when talking about the 1st car,if u were referring 2 all Nissans or just the Murano(cuz it was a while b4 u showed the model name/brought up it's name)? I noticed the Murano was on the list of 15-30 best used SUVs to buy( that are around 10yr.
& up) on 2or3 articles/lists I just saw last wk..
I had a 1976 chevette the stalling is to to the carburetor. They got coughed with out with bad fuel causes the carburetor to man function.
@0:34 love how you hit the screen like that 😂❤👍
Thanka
I bought a Kia Optima in 2013, had it 11 years, 1 battery, 4 sets of tyres. No issues, great car. Just bought a Kia Stinger GT 3.3 and Lovin it.
Thank you for making this video. Considering that most car owners will own a second hand car at some point this is vital info
Glad you gave a positive shout-out to Mazda, the most underrated auto brand on the market.
Solid runners these days
forget warranty they build this junk for one 8th of what you pay!! corporation thieves. i believe most of you are wealthy or brain dead !!! car that costs 40000 should be 23000 thd 50000 mi. warranty noooo cvt trannies!!!! true warranty noooo bull shit...
Please speak on Mazda CX 7 2007. I just bought one three months ago. What should I look out for..."Good" and "What to do to keep up good running?"
Mark
I love your videos
I just have a minute to say thank you
I’m sharing this video with family and friends
Bravo my best wishes always from Las Vegas Craig
I nearly purchased a brand new VW Taos this year. Although i have better long term with Sedans and went with a Jetta instead.
nice
I'm enjoying the new format.
Excellent delivery
I owned a certified pre owned BMW 320i xdrive. It was a 2014 model and I got it in 2017 with ~33k miles on it. I owned it for 5 years and sold it at the end of last year with 95 K miles on it. I was in school back then and was able to get in a cheap BMW.. It had the so called the infamous N20 engine I guess. Besides brake pads, tires and regular maintenance I didn't pay for any major problems. Great way to get into the brand and no regrets. At the end of the day it all depends on how you drive and take care of your car.
Me too, I had 2015 328ì, I never had any problems with engine suspension or electrical with this car, I had it for 4 years. I bought when car had 80,000 km on it, and sold it with 125,000 km. The only problem was with transfer case. It was making hesitation shaking for about 2 seconds when i was driving 60 80 kmh when ever I wanted lightly accelerate car was shaking like transmission jerking. So I decided to change the car, now I bought 2016 x3 35i, this is real beast.
I had the same car. When I was living in NEW YOURK.. awesome car. I traded it for a M5. And I love it.) .
What year porsche panamera is reliable ?🤔
None.. 😬
My Wife bought a Murano Platinum edition , never has had a problem ... stone chips from her trips across the Country . We had a Mazda bought the dealership service people were DISHONEST - TERRIBLE
I bought a BMW f10 535d with full BMW service history, 30.000 Miles, and the small turbo has given up so I am having both replaced lovely car to drive but reliability not good so far
Great in-depth "breakdown" analysis
Should i buy a 2019 bmw x5 with 42k miles. Has driver assistance package, premium package
I drive a 2019 Murano. Haven’t had any issues with it. I don’t drive as often anymore since I retired. I’m thinking about going EV but I’m undecided about which EV to get. What are some of the best EV’s I should be looking at?
