    I will say having a BMW M4 from 2016 when I bought it new and I still have it, runs amazing and I rip on it all the time. I maintain it and I haven’t had a single issue with it over the 8 years of having it. I’ve owned a lot of cars but this one seems pretty bulletproof so far.

      Im surprised you’re saying this about the M4. If you’re not talking BS, then you’re amongst the lucky few who never had a headaches with M4. I was an M4 owner, it’s most exciting sedan I ever had. But I had endless headaches with it. It was a money pit, there’s neverending issues. I bought it second hand past warranty but still considered reasonably new, looks good and drives great at first. No issues for like 5 months. Thereafter the headaches started and they keep coming. I have to go the bmw dealership for repairs as it’s hard to sell it at competitive prices without that BMW dealership stamp. And the repairs are really expensive. Glad I was able to sell it.

  • @christopherlowery855

    I can personally vouch for the MDX. Specifically, the 2nd gen (2007-2013) with the 3.7L J37A1 SOHC v6 engine and SH-AWD system. We bought it with 118k mi and now have 195k mi on the odo. The timing belt was replaced at around 130k mi, along with both front CV axles and an oil leak was addressed. Since then, I've just replaced brakes, the starter, and an electric door module. This car still has the original COPs and spark plugs. It still runs like a champ and can really get up to speed without issue. The 3.7L v6 is a very good powerplant for a vehicle this size. The trans fluid change is similar to an engine oil change. It's literally just a drain and fill procedure taking 30min at most. Just use genuine Honda automatic trans fluid and you'll be fine. The A/C went out at around 175k mi, but I was able to repair that relatively easily.
    The SH-AWD system is very offroad capable. It's no rock crawler, but it can navigate most trails. Just don't try to cross a mud bog, or expect Jeep level suspension travel. But it defeats the diagonal slip test. I haven't had any issues with the AWD system. This vehicle is awesome in the snow.
    Overall, I work on this vehicle less than any of the others I have. It's also our only family vehicle.
    Highly recommended for those who still do their own auto maintenance and want a dependable luxury SUV platform that can also trail on occasion.
    As far as the video is concerned. I have heard very good things about the B58 engine. It is an I6, which would be easy to work on theoretically. It can make big power that's for sure. I'm more concerned about the rest of the vehicle though. This is a BMW afterall. The RX350 is very reliable. Perhaps the most reliable on this list. Same with the Cayenne. At least 1st gen with NA 4.5l and 4.8L V8 models. Not sure about the V6 and TT models.
    I don't understand this distain for timing belts. I've had them on all my cars. I've changed them on all my cars. They're relatively easy to get to, in Hondas, you'll change them when you change your water pump. On my Nissan hardbody, I changed the timing belt with the change of my water pump. With 115k mi and 29yrs, the belt didn't even look like it needed to be replaced.
    IMO, a belt beats a long chain. No plastic tensioners that disintegrate over time. No chain stretch that distorts timing. Or sprocket wear from oil starvation.
    I've only had one belt snap and I had it coming. I had a non-interference engine so I didn't even care. I replaced it in 2hrs. These belts are behind timing covers. No RTV, no oil, no chain guides. No double or triple chain combos. Just one belt. Give me a belt-timed Honda over a chain-timed Audi any day of the week. It's a 75k-100k mi change that takes 2hrs on average. 3-4 if the water pump is also changed. Unless you're running an OHV pushrod engine, a belt just makes better sense. I prefer a timing belt, but maybe I'm the only one.
    Anyway, great video. It's a well compiled list.
    Thanks for listening.
    Cheers.

Turbos that fail, fuel injectors that fail, cheap bio-degradable plastic parts that crack after 5 years, bio-degradable wiring that rots after 10 years........Gimmie a break dude.

    On the Audi segment I’ll have to chime in and make some adjustments to your comments. The 3.0T engine combined with the 8 speed auto is excellent. It’s available on multiple models as well, the Q5, the A6, A7, A8. They are all awesome. I have one of these myself and it’s inching close to 200k now. Zero issues. The S4 even with the second gen DSG can still have issues. I’d put it below the other models I mentioned. The 2.0T I wouldn’t sleep on, 2013+ especially. I’ve had multiple 2.0T cars, they have never failed me either. You might do timing chains once during the car’s life, maybe a water pump leak, but that’s it.

    I would say my LR3 was surprisingly pretty reliable, and I took it everywhere, including off-road… I did regular maintenance and only changed the water pump it was running strong at 180,000miles when it was totaled in 2019😢 I’ve been driving a 2015 X5 35d and no complaints, very reliable and comfortable and sporty when I need it.

And as far as the E55 goes, that 5.4l V8 is probably one of the most reliable performance engines out there, way more reliable than the 6.2l which was put in the E63 W211 in later production years. I don't really know where this unreliability claim comes from. I get what he is saying with the SBC pump I guess, but then again OP seems to be American, and I'm pretty sure the SBC pump has a 25 year recall period there. Maybe the gasoline engines are less reliable or something, idk.

    I own a 2011 C207 (W212 coupe) E200, not everything is so good with M271 turbo. I bought one 4 years ago with just 27k km (17k miles) of range and everything is not that good. Current range is 117k km (73k miles) and I've encountered problems (some of them - several times) with camshaft adjuster, crankcase ventilation valve, thermostat, almost all engine seals and heat exchanger. These engines also have oil pressure issues pretty often. But i still love my car so much.
    The best engines for W212/C207/W204 are M274 (2.0 liter since 2013) and M276 (3.5 liter since 2012) - they are really reliable. I hope this information will be useful for someone.

    Had the A6 C7 and loved the car, but hated the costly repairs. The 3.0 V6 eats PCV valves for breakfast and you have to remove the supercharger to replace them resulting in an expensive repair. It also ate things like engine mounts, front control arm/bushings, and needed a water pump/thermostat/coolant crossover pipe annually. As it got about 140k miles, constant check engine lights for things like catalytic converter out of threshold and stuck open/closed intake flaps. When it didn't have issues it was a dream to drive, but not without anxiety over when the next issue was going to raise its ugly head. So, basically, you have to be willing to pay the ongoing premium to own a car like this.

Yes, it's not the most stylish car, but it does well. 306 HP normally-aspirated bulletproof V6, rear-wheel drive (the ES is front-wheel drive) , Sport mode and Eco mode. 5.9 second 0-60 (I clocked it) and 150+ top end. It's a musclecar in a Brooks Brothers suit. In Eco mode I get about 26 MPG on the highway, and I stomp on the loud pedal a LOT, pretty good for the power and size.

    What about Volvo S60/S80 D5 I only mentioned they two models because I’ve owned both had the S60 for twelve years and never left me stranded once and when I p/x it still looked as good as the day I got it and a year into S80 ownership this one feels bulletproof also along with a lot of other Volvos I’ve read about the only thing they fall short on is badge snobbery in the uk

      I agree.......despite having some later model luxury cars, I have kept my 8-year old S60 Inscription just because it is so enjoyable to drive, has great visibility and incredible seats, packed with technology/safety options often found only on 2024 luxury models.
