Hey guys, unfortunately the number 17 spot has been trimmed out due to copyright issues but it was the Audi A3 3rd Gen! I pretty much just said its like a pocket A4 which means it has tuning potential, but reliability is scary.
Dang it, I missed you! I went to bed before you posted, but I heard the news! I will be staying up all night for the Solara vid. I love the car so much.
Let me say I am an O.G. car guy from back in the day and have customized every car I have ever owned since I was 16 years old. I sincerely appreciate you making your top 20 list for folks to review. It is interesting and appreciated, however, I do have a few questions. First, if the whole point is to save us average Joe's some money and still have a nice ride, then why would you recommend some of the most unreliable and extremely expensive to repair cars in your list? Audi, Mercedes, BMW and Jaguars are all nightmares to repair. Also, the videos of the cars look great, however, all the cars in the videos appear to be not only in "pristine" paint and body condition, but also extremely customized with aftermarket air suspension, wheels, interior, lighting etc. I personally love all of that extra custom stuff, however, I know for a fact that all that stuff gets extremely expensive. Just the cool air suspension alone starts at around 3k, just for parts for most vehicles. In order to get most the sub 10k cars in your video, to look and perform well, folks would easily have to spend another 20k, so I just don't really understand the point of recommending some of these cars. Lastly, Dodge Neon? C'mon bro! There is not enough lipstick in the world to make that pig look good...sorry. Take care.👍🏼✌🏼
1. I'm so proud of you, buying a house is a huge step and well done for prioritising it! 2. Clean shaven Mark be lookin' sexy af 😘 3. WRX Raptor eye gotta be #1 for me!
Thanks for the video…. Nicely done. Was hoping to see the Hyundai Genesis R-Spec 5.0 (2012-1214) but it’s extremely difficult finding one for under 10k. They seem to average around 12k to 17k.
Fun fact about the Speed6s the AWD system has active torque vectoring so it can go anywhere from a 100-0 to 50-50 mix depending on what you need of course it is fwd bias sadly but still cool to see
I would like to add that Audi 3.0 TFSI S4/S5 engine is one of, if not, reliable and tunable German engine from that era. Electronics in the other hand is what mostly brings the price down.
I've a 13 F30 328i for about 3 years now. I have a catless downpipe and a intake on it, nothing crazy. I love that car though and I've had no issues with it. I have about 140k on the dial. I will say, get the 340 if you can, I would have but at the time I wanted to learn how to put on a widebody kit and some other things so I didn't want to cut into a more expensive car. As soon as I buy another car it's getting prepped for a LS6. I highly recommend them though, great cars and a lot of fun to drive with a few small modifications!
Thank you for this type of video, I search a car actually, but can you do a episode for car under 10k and before 1995 please, in my country its actually inexpensive than have a recent car
Lexus Gs300 beat car ive owned, Fast, Luxury, reliable as hell, 2jz, insane potential, big enough for many passangers, very very fun to drive and if you know how to fix ot up you can get one for easly under 10k
Car prices in US are nuts! I swear I can`t find any of those in Europe for under 15-20k... P.S: The Jag XF u showed is actually an XE, and with the engine you mentioned (25T - 250hp) they start at 15k for the first gen. I owned the last gen (2020+), same engine, for about 2 years and sold it 6 months ago for like 30k.
Some nice cars here; a couple I wouldn't mind owning/driving. We're a two-person, four-car family right now, but we'll likely sell one passenger car and my 1988 Mustang GT and get something like what's on this list.
you can also find the 06-07 accord in a sedan with a 3.0 v6 making 245hp 6 speed manual. or a auto hybrid v6 making a little more power but no manual for 3-7k
@@markroden I know you always talk more about the scion tc but can you show some love to the kia forte koup? It's actually a really cool car and it's insanely slept on
Im thinking of buying a manual car for under 5k (first car of my own), what do you think is the best between these: 7th gen celica gts (or other car with the 2vv), sentra ser spec v, honda fit, or civic si?
Not sure where you got your info for the Audi A7, but it was never sold with a 3.6L NA V6 with 245hp. The only gasoline engine options were the 2.8L NA V6 with 204hp, the 2.0L TFSI 4cyl with 250hp (both were for international markets only), and the U.S. engine, the fantastic 3.0L TFSI supercharged V6 with 306hp. There was an A7 TDI with a 3.0L Diesel V6 as well, but that was pretty rare and made about 240hp. The 3.0L TFSI is a real sweet motor, pretty much the same one as in the S4/S5 of the era, and they're reliable and not too difficult to work on. Fantastic cars with a bunch of tuning potential and a strong aftermarket, but good luck finding a roadworthy one under 10k. I'd still have one if it weren't for my S7😁
Mazaspeed 6 is “awd” buuutttt it’s fwd until the car starts to slip then it will kick into “awd” and it might even be a 60/40. I would research that one a little more. At the end of the day they aren’t true all wheel drive cars👍
Randomly stumbled on this video. Randomly clicked on the #12 car right after watching your intro. Everything stated about the A7 is incorrect. US A7s are supercharged 3.0 V6s making ~311hp
Can’t decide between bmw E90, F30, and an Audi S4, or a Mercedes… really like the depreciation on luxury cars…but also…like B58 on bmw goes crazyy haven’t done enough research on Audi and Mercedes engines but I’ll hopefully decide ones I pay some bills off first!
can you talk more about Alfa Romeos or BMW E82 1 series or a bit more expensive cars like Porsche Caymans or best sports cars for 60k or 50k or 30k or etc....

Unless its a salvage you aint finding a 2015 Audi S4 for $10K... Even $15K is a stretch...
I found one for 8k 60k miles
Congrats on the new house Mark 😍
Volvo s60 t6 is a great sleeper too
hey mark do you consider hyundai elantras good
I think the taurus SHO is a great car but i think the downside is how heavy it is being 4200+ pounds
If it loses 600 lbs , it’s a beast. Plus it needed around 400hp
Its insane your’e buying a house! Good luck!
😂😂😂 so close yet so wrong…. Spell check disabled ? It’s you’re* not your’e
Tysm bro it’s a nerve racking feeling for sure
congrats on the house!
Very good list!
Can you make a list for newer cars around 10-15k? I really like some of the project cars you show but need something reliable and looks good. Thanks
congrats on the house 🎉
Congrats man keep working at your goals…
Hopefully getting a q50 this summer.
love the video's man. you should do somthing similar with hatchbacks . but instead with it being for both us an Europe markets

i want a wrx so bad but its so hard to find one with less than 100k for even under $20k. is it still worth if over 100k?
I would say yes
@@markroden even as a daily? cause most of them are around 150k miles…

I think an underrated sedan as well is the F10 535i, n55 with a single twin scroll turbo.😮💨
I'm looking for a GX100 manual transmission markii
actually, the cts-v came out before the 300, '03 i believe for the v and the 300 is '05
@markroden congratulations on 100k
Forgot to mention the E90 first years came with the n54 engine and after the refresh it came with the n55 engine
What about the Ford fusion sport twin turbo v6, with 325hp, it's the best choice in my opinion

Randomly stumbled on this video. Randomly clicked on the #12 car right after watching your intro. Everything stated about the A7 is incorrect. US A7s are supercharged 3.0 V6s making ~311hp

I’m shocked that the GS3-400 were left out.
2nd generation 300c? What second gen?
I thought the first gen A7s had a supercharged 3.0 v6
can you talk more about Alfa Romeos or BMW E82 1 series or a bit more expensive cars like Porsche Caymans or best sports cars for 60k or 50k or 30k or etc....
Sport sedans makes me cry😢I want my chaser back
If you can find a good 340 for close to what you’d spend on a 335 I’d do the 340 I have a first gen, literally only basic maintenance
Old Subaru Legacies make 280hp from the factory and cost $3000-7000, mine is a B4 RSK twin turbo making 340hp.
What cars is on the thumbnail?
The fix bill for some cars will go 3x times the price of the car itself... No way!
