Back in 2014 I owned a certified 2011 Range Rover sport supercharged. I owned it for 18 months. Within the first 12 months it needed new set of 20 inch tires, brakes, a new water pump and a new supercharger. I started heading a clunk in the front end and was told the noise were bushings not covered under warranty. All this occurred in under 35k on the ODO. I liked the vehicle but it was the most problematic vehicle I’ve ever owned and I’ve owned a lot of high end cars. I didn’t even mention the electrical gremlins…
I bought my 2011 Cx9 off the showroom floor. It still looks and drives like it's brand new. No one has touched it but the dealership and two trips to Costco for tires. 126k on the odometer. Love it.
I think that's long gone as well. Toyota placed a recall on 102,000 2022 to 2023 Lexus LXs and Toyota Tundras due to probable engine failure. Fuel regulations are turning cars into shit. Sad.
Not a surprising list. I go for reliability, like my 2016 subaru forester xt, 250hp about 250 ft.lb, 270,000 miles and runs like the day I bought it. Only one set of brake pads, one serpentine belt, two sets of spark plugs and same turbo since new. I change oil myself every 4000 miles, it's so easy a blind man could do it.
Have a 2017. 130K and (knock wood) all's good! One weird thing no mechanic can figure out is it goes through batteries about 1.5 months to 2 years(?) Every mechanic says the electrical charging system is OK? weird.

I purchased a 2022 Nissan Rouge Sport because I wanted a small SUV for city driving, but I began to notice that every time I drove it my ears would begin to ring. I did some research and found out the ringing was caused by the whiny CVT transmission. I also found out that in order for the CVT to last more than 60,000 miles you had to drive like a 90 year old grandmother. After 4 months I traded the Rouge Sport for a 2023 Mazda CX-30 which is a fantastic vehicle.
About 2 years ago I wanted to buy a Land Rover discovery.. so I took a 2021 HSE with 19,000 miles to my mechanic for a PPI and he found more issues than any other vehicle he had ever inspected. So he said to me..if you want to buy any Range Rover, you better buy 2 so while one is always at the shop, you can drive the other one...the deal was off. I ended up buying a Lexus rx350.
As someone who just finished purchasing a used vehicle, I was shocked at the depreciation on luxury SUVs such as Mercedes, Audi, BMW and the like. Sat in a couple (Audi and Mercedes) and was unimpressed by both.
Except for the Rogue, they're all luxury brands. Perhaps the people that can afford these brands can more easily change vehicles if they're unhappy with it. Because it sure is not that American vehicles are better, there are no American brands in the top 10 list that was produced by Consumer Reports for 2023.
@@gatorsronyou wish … 😂😂😂 Renault and Nissan have an equity stake in each other of 15% of the stock portfolios…. that is something completely different than Nissan being owned by Renault….
I have owned a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland since new. I have Only replaced battery, wiper blades, oil / filter and tires, brakes and fluids - all as needed as normal maintenance or wear. 6 cylinder has plenty of power and decent gas mileage using regular gas. Looks great. This is the Best, least service-prone vehicle I’ve owned!
2015 Range Rover..blew a radiator expansion block between AZ and CA and had to tow it 250 miles and packed my family of five inside the tow truck. Then it had many issues with the air suspension. Kept it six months and lost a lot of money. Never again !
Watch the video for reasons and more details, but for quick reference here's the list: 1. Land Rover Discovery Sport - 11.8% gotten rid of in 1st year 2. Land Rover Range Rover Evoque - 10.9% 3. BMW X1 - 10.4% 4. BMW X3 - 9% 5. Porsche Cayenne - 8.7% 6. Mercedes-Benz GLA - 8.5% 7. Mercedes-Benz G-Class - 8% 8. Nissan Rogue Sport - 8.1% 9. Porsche Macan - 6.3%
My wife and once stopped in at a Porsche dealer back in the mid 2000’s to check out a used Cayenne. I was driving a 2000 Lexus RX300 at the time and looking to possibly upgrade. I was shocked at how poorly the Cayenne had held up with relatively modest mileage. The interior looked shoddy and dated, and the drive line was whining. When I mentioned to the Porsche salesman that I thought there was a problem in the driveline he became a real ass. I left thinking what a piece of crap the Cayenne was given its’ price. That was the last time ever stepped foot in a Porsche dealer. I currently drive a 2010 RX350 with 220,000 miles and it’s still pretty tight.
@@kuvasz93great car. I would consider it again. My only beef is the recommended 91 Octane fuel. We are shopping and may consider a Highlander, or maybe the new Crown Signia( basically the same as an RX Hybrid).
I bought a 2023 Land Rover Discovery P360 and within 3 months, the engine started ticking, the back windows stopped working, and lights would randomly pop up on the dash. I traded it in for a Lexus.
Just buy whatever the hell you like, take care of it and you will be fine. My 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk has over 132,000 miles on it and no complaints. By the way, I have had far fewer problems with my Jeep than my co-worker's wife's RAV4. I have been looking at the new Compass, Hornet, and CX50. I'm in the mood for something new, but I love my Jeep. I think I'll wait.
People don't want to take care of their cars, but demonize them online instead. Nice car you've got! I considered it before finally deciding on my beloved Land Rover.
Well my 1987 4runner is still running good and still getting me everywhere I want to go. Its not pretty and its not modern but it does not bankrupt me when my electric bill show up.
I drive a 2017 discovery sport with 90K kilometres. Most of us try to drive it on Eco mode and expect the turbo to kick in, which ends up with a delayed response/lag. Engage to the sports mode and it packs a punch big time. Last but not least never compromise on the gas. It calls for premium gas and not regular unleaded- very important. It’s not fair to blame the brand due to lack of knowledge or trying to be “penny wise pound foolish”.
You should check out the Genesis GV70. It’s made by Hyundai but it doesn’t share any of the components of their regular cars. Every review is 9 out of 10 or higher and their reliability rate is in the 90s. I own one also after dumping my problematic Rover. Night and day difference.
2023 x1 is a rough riding blob with ridiculous swipe screen (“take your eyes off the road now”). Ugly and clunky, an embarrassment, but then the general grotesquerie of the latest designs are standard. After my first 5is leased 35 years ago, and a stream of BMWs since, this is the end of the end. Going ev next.
It's misleading to say "older Range Rovers were more reliable". Because in comparison to today's hi tech electro creations the old ones were much the same, pound for pound reliability wise. I owned one for 12 years, I liked it, but, lucky I'm a mechanic and fortunately the early ones were simple enough, but it always took a lot of maintenance to keep it going and roadworthy. A lot like "Grandfather's Axe".
I had a 2002 Range Rover and the suspension gave out. I bounced all over the road. It was like I was on a trampoline. Traded in for a Lexus RX. Never a problem.
I feel bad for the Range Rover owners. Even if they could easily afford it that's still money down the drain they could be socking away for an earlier retirement.
Don’t think every RR owner has the same experience. My Velar drives like a charm and has now 90k km. Not one issue since day 1. It’s not all black or white like depicted, there are a lot of greys in between.
Nissan could recapture their glory days some of us are old enough to remember, but they need to end their alliance with Renault. Couldn’t give me a present day Nissan for free.
The Rogue Sport is a different model that the Rogue, its not a trim level. The Sport is based on the European Nissan Qashqai. Which means that every car on this list is European.,
Yes, just replaced my 2017 CVT with 78k for $4k. It was sell the car for $5k with no tranny or put in a new one and pray for another 100k miles. Unfortunately I can’t afford a new car, so I optioned for the latter. Fingers crossed - in addition, A/C compressor, door lock switches on both driver sides went, and over the course of time significant wear and tear due to cheap labor/manufacturing. What happened to Nissan? They were a hallmark of quality, regardless of make/model. Very disappointed. My kids are now beating on it. Love my Mazda CX-5 however!
When Nissan was still Datsun, my ex and I had a sporty little sedan which we eventually traded in when the surprise third kid showed up. Never had a single iota of a problem, and from what I understand, Nissan was continuously dependable until probably the last decade or so. Back in the day, it was as reliable as a Toyota.
I own a 2017 Rogue Sport. I knew from the start it wasn’t a Sporty type vehicle, but just a smaller version of the full size Rogue. Which is the reason I bought it. And people talk about lack of power. I’m not sure what people want, it’s a 4 cylinder. If they want power buy a Corvette. ( I’ve owned a couple of those too. ) It has power for me to get on the interstate without any problems. And the ability to pass if needed. It has 174k on it and other than regular maintenance, I’ve put an alternator on it. I’m very pleased with it.
Own a 2023 Honda Pilot TrailSport, it drives fantastic and smooth. I was initially very annoyed with all the safety features that were disrupting my driving. However, Ive managed to turn most off. Also driving me nuts was the auto idle stop, but I managed to install a module (idle stopper) to override it automatically. Finally, i was pissed that it came equipped with the tow bar, but no trailer wiring harness. I installed one. Now Im much happier with it, but its a shame I had to go through these annoyances! 😅
The only thing I learned is don’t ever buy a luxury SUV. But, I always thought they were overpriced garbage anyway. So I really didn’t learn anything as much as validating what I already knew.
The things is, these European vehicles feel much more luxurious on the inside, and luxury wears away after a year or two. They also are susceptible to a lot of leasing. I would expect 5-15% of the folks who drive these to get a new suv every year or two. You can get most of these for great prices if you buy them under 40k miles.
Worst vehicle I ever owned was a Cadillac SRX. Drove a ford for 10 years with almost no issues, now driving a KIA sportage SX Prestige hybrid- probably the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Bought my first new car in 1975
Jeeper here, Im on my 5th Jeep. All American except for my Jeeps… LOVE THEM. We just purchased a 24 Compass and we love it!!! As we change so does our Vehicle, except for my old Rambler of course.
Mazda is great as long as you get one without a turbo. They only take premium gas, which is expensive. Replaced the turbo at 136000 miles, and the engine at 171000 and now it works great 🤣
9:29: The "turbo lag" people complain about has nothing to do with the turbos. Blame it on engine computer settings, which delay full power from idle to manage fuel economy, emissions and traction control issues. Most all cars have them.
The reason they get rid of them in the first year is because they are “last year’s model” and people who buy most of these don’t want to be seen driving last year’s model.
My Nissan Rogue insurance was high w.USAA... 2019, Eco-Sport, 2 WD... It drove great the whole time I had it, I replaced fluids reg. but I had it repo'd in Dec. 2023 due to gas, rent, food, and dining out costs. I keep a Benz as my backup, my c230 Coupe with 120K mi. is a gem ❤
There is a class of people whose passion is after new model cars, like change for the latest fashion wear. Probably nothing to do with the high maintenance cost, features or performance. They just get rid of their one year “old” car for a new toy, no matter what.
I had a ‘14 X1 which unfortunately got totaled. It was replaced with a ‘20 X1. More recently, I got a chance to borrow a ‘23 X3 and absolutely loved the handling and comfort. When it’s time to update, this just might my next selection! The X3 is BMWs biggest seller for a reason.
You gave no explanation as to why the X3 appeared at #4 on your list. I recently took delivery of a 2024 X3 M40i and I love it. I’m still well under a year of ownership but I don’t anticipate me getting rid of it at the year mark. Can you provide some context? Thanks!
@@nodak81I call BS on that assessment. X3 is one of the most reliable vehicles on the market. You can look at many periodicals on it, including consumer reports which usually is very hard on the luxury brands.
I have a 2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS, Fully Loaded….Of course things are starting to need replacing, and Everything is Expensive….however ..Love it and learning how to repair things I can ….
I have a 2013 Cayenne S, and aside from a coolant leak (my shop was able to fix it quickly) and a failed ignition coil (replaced the whole set myself), it has been very reliable over four years.
This is very true. And rich people probably paid cash for it (because why pay interest if you don’t have to?) the average person would have way too much negative equity to even consider trading in after a year. Wouldn’t even be an option
@@rogerb5615 LandRover & Range Rover tend to over-accessorize their vehicles with all the bells & whistles. Theres about 15 different sensors on this SUV, all of them at some time needs to be replaced and on top of that the SUV only takes premium gas. It was cheaper for me to buy another vehicle and drive the Land Rover twice a week. It’s not an everyday kind of car.
@@rogerb5615 . Because Land Rover knows there is a sucker born everyday. Most customers are more worried about massaging seats and their infotainment than in what's under the hood.
Good information but sometimes surveys like these have other reasons that contribute to the trade ins just like when a study says people who drink Diet Coke are more likely to gain wait it doesn’t factor in the fact that people who drink Diet Coke may be generally more unhealthy or eat more fast food and that’s why they drink Diet Coke. In this case these suv s probably have higher returns probably because they are luxury vehicles and people with more money can afford to trade vehicles at a whim when they get bored. I know because I live in slightly more upscale neighborhood and although I drive and f150 I’ve had for 5 years and my wife a Hyundai neighbors rarely keep cars for more than year and a half. Come home one day with new Range Rover then Escalade next year or another neighbor goes from Mercedes suv to Tesla then to hangover probably cuz neighbor got one all in less than two years.
Wait what!! The #8 Nissan Rogue Sport know also as Nissan Qashqai is one of the most famous and popular cars in UK and Australia They are reliable and cheap to own and maintain I give you that they are under powered on the highway which makes sense in a big country such the US but when you can’t go over 100km/hr because of speed cams they’re fantastic city cars.
A couple of years ago I bought a new Macan Turbo ($95K). At 40K miles the engine began leaking oil at the rocker cover (smelt it). Porsche had to yank the engine out to fix (warranty). It took 3 weeks waiting for parts. Before the repair the car felt superb, like a 2 year old car with 40K miles. After the repair it felt like a 10 year old car with 150K miles. Dreadful. Avoid.
I purchased a brand new 2014 Nissan Rogue and got rid of it the same year! In month 8, I was heading out and went to start the vehicle but it didn’t start!!! An 8mo old car! I called Nissan and the tech immediately knew why. After sitting a bit it started up but I traded it in the same month. That’s insane !
I have a used Nissan Rogue sport and I love it. I’m 73 and pick my granddaughter up twice a week at highschool it’s 50 miles one way in heavy sometimes traffic. I feel safe an it has great power. Traded a Sentra 2015 in for it.
Basically, don't buy the cheapest offering from any brand, you pay 90% as much as the next model up, but you get a model the maker cut a bunch of corners to get the price down.
Having worked in a car manufacturing plant, I learned that less work went into the cheaper models. That is how they jeep the cost down. Buy the more expensive model that had more engineering and attention paid to it.
The Porsche Macan S is the best driving car on the road. Drove it on the Blue Ridge 5 X's with no one problem. My 2020 Defender 110 P400 is a beast. If you can't afford it, then...
I had always bought used & never thought I could buy new. Found some stability in life increased my budget. After much research I chose Subaru Forester. They hold their value so new seemed best option. Had great dealership experience (!). Love how comfortable it is. Luxury just by used after 2 years it should depreciate by 1/2. Got a Guilia by that method but it’s time for me to be responsible
My daughter has a QashQui (Canadian Rogue Sport). We are getting the CVT drain and filled often. It reputation keeps me up at night. She needed a car because she travels as a RSW and paid full car price for used in COVID time.
to all you whiners i am 73 and coming up on 3 years of ownership of the new land rover defender 110. i have owned audi and MB and countless other makes and the land rover is by far the most pleasurable car i have ever owned. best ride, best tech, best quality build of all of them. i love it. wouldn't trade it for any other car.
2024 My Favorite SUV Picks Are the Land Rover Defender 110 V8, Range Rover Sport, BMW X5, Jaguar F-Pace, Toyota 4Runner, & Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland. Glad They Didn't Make the 9 That Where Listed.
This list is not very meaningful. Changing your vehicle is not always because of dissatisfaction. Many owners of luxury cars replace them simply because they can afford to do so. Reliability, fuel consumption, owner satisfaction, and similar are all measurable. They provide an objective measurement of a cars merits. Vehicles mentioned here are not necessarily bad or have poor owner satisfaction.
Bingo. I’ve had 9 cars in the last 5 years. I wasn’t displeased with any of them. I’m a car enthusiast and enjoy the experience of owning exciting cars.
Have had a Discovery Sport for nearly 4 years and have loved every second of it. Absolutely zero mechanical issues, comfortable ride,great interior. Ended up buying it when lease ended.
I have a 2020 evoque and I love it. It’s fun to drive. It’s been towed for an engine issue once only, luckily it was under warranty. I’m looking into what to get next as I’d like a larger SUV that won’t break the bank outside of a warranty!
A barely 4 year old car and it's "only" been towed once. My car was over 8 years old, towed, and fixed within a couple hours. Three years and a 50k (260k total) later, and it hasn't needed a towed since.
Glad we purchased two 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe' SUVs Good size + good looks + no turbo + good gas mileage + long warranty + no problems & reasonable priced !
Hyundai-Kia have the worst engine reputation of any vehicle in the world. My daughter's engine blew, and it was an 18 month wait to get it in the shop. Replacement engines were also on backorder. Unlike every other manufacturer in the world, the engine warranty is good to the original purchaser only. Her second engine blew, and she let them repossess it. It was a 2019, and went through 2 engines.
@@garyszewc3339 WOW ..... Guess I'm super lucky, have no 2.4 engine problems with either my 2019 or 2020 SEL Models. In- fact they both run and drive great. Drove the 2019 130 miles yest averaged 33 Mpg and never have to add oil between 5000 mile oil changes on either,
I have got a 2022 Ford Edge ST, 2.7L TT. Great ride, quiet, lots of power, and very quiet Fords AWD is amazing, and so is the Ford Co pilot. I also get 21 city and around 25 mpg hwy with twin turb V6.
Unless you have money to burn, stick to reliable, inexpensive to buy and maintain, popular. Stay away from anything exotic, especially anything that comes from the EU. If you yearn for luxury, between Lexus, Genesis, Acura, Lincoln, Cadillac, and Infinity there's plenty to choose from.
I have a Subaru Outback. I’m not proud, it’s not luxury, it does however have 260HP, decent amount of space and off roading capabilities . The interior is nice. I can’t see buying a luxury car for $20,000 more just for the badge though.
i drive a 2011 Base MDX with SH-AWD, love the torque vectoring, hate the fuel thirsty engine. 16 MPG no matter how you try to ease up on the gas. fun to drive on twisty roads, snow and 120k miles and keeps going strong !
I learned years ago about the domestics and the hard way. Never look back. They still can't design a vehicle with personality. I've just not had good luck with them. The couple older suburbans were great on long trips. They have some engines downpat, but it's so many little things that added up.
I owned a 2007 GMC Acadia (first year out). There were some issues, but all wound up as recalls so they were paid for by GM. I finally traded it in in 2018 with 213,000 miles on it. And yep bought a 2016 Acadia that had been a lease vehicle. I’m not driving as much. It’s now 2024 and it has a whooping 58,000 miles on it. Absolutely no issues.
Kept my Range Rover Evoque for 5 years. It was a sweet ride for the 1st couple of years under warranty. Out of warranty it was costly to repair and maintain. Depreciation was a beast and I was happy to be rid of it in the 5th year. Always lease, never buy. Learned my lesson with JLR products. Bought a Subaru Ascent. It’s never been in the shop a single day for anything other than regular maintenance.
2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid Limited - Oil pan leaks, and Hybrid/battery discharged to 0 when sitting parked in my garage for three weeks, while I was gone on vacation. The dealer said that's normal, live with it. Nope! I like to keep my cars 10+ years, and I could already see this one wasn't going to make it past the warranty; even worse when the dealer makes me wait 2 months for service on a new vehicle, and the waiting area is the size of a walk-in closet, and the bathroom had been out-of-order most of those times. A real S-Hole! Yeah, I'm talking about you Bud Clarey Hyundai, in Auburn, WA.
My only experience with dumping a new car after a year was my 2023nLexus NX350 F Sport. I bought it on impulse at the end of ‘22 and hated it. It has some nice technology for sure. But it is cramped, noisy (yes NOISY!), slow off the line and not much fun to drive. I could afford the mistake but would advise looking elsewhere
For the longest time, I wanted a Lexus NX. But life worked out otherwise and had to be realistic. Wound up with a CX 5 that is nice enough and meets my needs. Don’t feel like I settled at all.
I had a Mercedes GLA45 which I loved and hated as it had a tendency to stall after fill ups. Wasn’t every time but it was a lot and it was never fixed. I got a regular GLA250 which I really liked. Then I brought it in for a A (odd year) service at $267/hr for a whopping $933.00 for an annual service. If I wanted new wipers it was about $1050.00. At that moment I decided not only to dump the GLA but Mercedes, forever. Frankly, I loved German cars (had BMW’s and Mini’s) but I am tired of stingy options spread out over many packages. Go get most any Hyundai Limited trim and you get 360 cameras, adaptive cruise, cross traffic alert, ventilated seats and more. A German car may not even be able to option all that or it will be $25k in options. I just tried to option some Porsche Macans as I like the size and 4400lb towing, but I quickly went insane trying to find a complete set of tech options basic to virtually all middle class brands. You can adaptive cruise $1440.00 or Surround view, another $1200.00 but they will have a $4000.00 wheel upgrade and $525 for seat logos. You will spend $25,000.00 to get the 4 or $5,000.00 you wanted in overpriced options. Yes, they are faster and you can take them on the track but the interiors are dull (generally all black) and nothing special on the tech which you get on a Hyundai or Toyota by going up one trim for say $3k.

Never, ever buy a Nissan with a CVT transmission. Ever.
Garbage SUV, even though the CTV transmission is an optimal failure, so is every other part on this vehicle! Nissan should be ashamed!!

About 2 years ago I wanted to buy a Land Rover discovery.. so I took a 2021 HSE with 19,000 miles to my mechanic for a PPI and he found more issues than any other vehicle he had ever inspected. So he said to me..if you want to buy any Range Rover, you better buy 2 so while one is always at the shop, you can drive the other one...the deal was off.
I ended up buying a Lexus rx350.
Range Rovers are junk
As someone who just finished purchasing a used vehicle, I was shocked at the depreciation on luxury SUVs such as Mercedes, Audi, BMW and the like. Sat in a couple (Audi and Mercedes) and was unimpressed by both.
I agree, they’re so overrated! Best to buy them used.
@@tng6510 We bought an Outback instead. Much more reliable and lower maintenance costs.
What did u buy then?
Pretty interesting how not a single American brand mentioned in this.
Except for the Rogue, they're all luxury brands. Perhaps the people that can afford these brands can more easily change vehicles if they're unhappy with it. Because it sure is not that American vehicles are better, there are no American brands in the top 10 list that was produced by Consumer Reports for 2023.

I have owned a 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland since new.

2015 Range Rover..blew a radiator expansion block between AZ and CA and had to tow it 250 miles and packed my family of five inside the tow truck. Then it had many issues with the air suspension. Kept it six months and lost a lot of money. Never again !
Same thing happened with my land rovers!
Wow unbelievable stay away from British cars they are junk!
My Land Rover - beautiful outside and inside a nightmare!
Same suspension issue with my former 2002 Range Rover. Bounced all over the road. Traded it in for a Lexus. And only had the Rover for a year!!!
Ouch!

The WORST of these had a 88.2 retention rate… how is that bad?
@@journeymancellist9247 Good point. I was thinking the same thing.!
My wife and once stopped in at a Porsche dealer back in the mid 2000’s to check out a used Cayenne. I was driving a 2000 Lexus RX300 at the time and looking to possibly upgrade. I was shocked at how poorly the Cayenne had held up with relatively modest mileage. The interior looked shoddy and dated, and the drive line was whining. When I mentioned to the Porsche salesman that I thought there was a problem in the driveline he became a real ass. I left thinking what a piece of crap the Cayenne was given its’ price. That was the last time ever stepped foot in a Porsche dealer. I currently drive a 2010 RX350 with 220,000 miles and it’s still pretty tight.
Lesson is never trade a reliable japanese care for a piece of euro junk.
Those are really just a dressed up VW Toureg which is a pretty awful vehicle
All Porsche sales people are asses. What do you expect, they came from Best Buy.
I’ve been considering a RX 350 myself but have been on the fence. I take it you’ve been very happy with yours?
@@kuvasz93great car. I would consider it again. My only beef is the recommended 91 Octane fuel. We are shopping and may consider a Highlander, or maybe the new Crown Signia( basically the same as an RX Hybrid).
Would never consider buying any of them so thankfully someone listed them and saved me time.
I bought a 2023 Land Rover Discovery P360 and within 3 months, the engine started ticking, the back windows stopped working, and lights would randomly pop up on the dash. I traded it in for a Lexus.
I did the same but with the Range Rover. Trade in value wasn’t good. Never again! Never had a problem with my Lexus and it’s been almost 20 yrs.
The Land Rover was the worst car I have ever bought.
Just buy whatever the hell you like, take care of it and you will be fine. My 2015 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk has over 132,000 miles on it and no complaints. By the way, I have had far fewer problems with my Jeep than my co-worker's wife's RAV4. I have been looking at the new Compass, Hornet, and CX50. I'm in the mood for something new, but I love my Jeep. I think I'll wait.
People don't want to take care of their cars, but demonize them online instead. Nice car you've got! I considered it before finally deciding on my beloved Land Rover.
Well my 1987 4runner is still running good and still getting me everywhere I want to go. Its not pretty and its not modern but it does not bankrupt me when my electric bill show up.
My '99 4Runner keeps going year after year after year, and it has been on many rough roads, too.
People who returned X3 probably bought X5 . The only problem is not enough loading space. X3 is a great and reliable car.
I drive a 2017 discovery sport with 90K kilometres. Most of us try to drive it on Eco mode and expect the turbo to kick in, which ends up with a delayed response/lag. Engage to the sports mode and it packs a punch big time. Last but not least never compromise on the gas. It calls for premium gas and not regular unleaded- very important. It’s not fair to blame the brand due to lack of knowledge or trying to be “penny wise pound foolish”.
Lexus, Toyota, Mazda. Only brands I will look at. Acura or Honda maybe, like if wife really wanted MDX or something.
You should check out the Genesis GV70. It’s made by Hyundai but it doesn’t share any of the components of their regular cars. Every review is 9 out of 10 or higher and their reliability rate is in the 90s. I own one also after dumping my problematic Rover. Night and day difference.
@@gabead For sure - have to consider service departments. We have an awesome Toyota one here. The others are all variations of suck.
I own a 2023 BMW X1 and I love it. Not sure why anyone who has done their research would get rid of a vehicle they just purchased.
Mental retardation is more ubiquitous than we have been told.
2023 x1 is a rough riding blob with ridiculous swipe screen (“take your eyes off the road now”). Ugly and clunky, an embarrassment, but then the general grotesquerie of the latest designs are standard. After my first 5is leased 35 years ago, and a stream of BMWs since, this is the end of the end. Going ev next.

It's misleading to say "older Range Rovers were more reliable". Because in comparison to today's hi tech electro creations the old ones were much the same, pound for pound reliability wise. I owned one for 12 years, I liked it, but, lucky I'm a mechanic and fortunately the early ones were simple enough, but it always took a lot of maintenance to keep it going and roadworthy. A lot like "Grandfather's Axe".
so true.
id best the 60s and 70 were pretty rugged once they went luxury then reliability dfails
I had a 2002 Range Rover and the suspension gave out. I bounced all over the road. It was like I was on a trampoline. Traded in for a Lexus RX. Never a problem.
I feel bad for the Range Rover owners. Even if they could easily afford it that's still money down the drain they could be socking away for an earlier retirement.
Don’t think every RR owner has the same experience. My Velar drives like a charm and has now 90k km. Not one issue since day 1. It’s not all black or white like depicted, there are a lot of greys in between.
Hate to tell you, but The Rogue is still on sale, just remodeled. But they've had their share of problems with their CVTs
Nissan could recapture their glory days some of us are old enough to remember, but they need to end their alliance with Renault. Couldn’t give me a present day Nissan for free.
The Rogue Sport is a different model that the Rogue, its not a trim level. The Sport is based on the European Nissan Qashqai. Which means that every car on this list is European.,
The same crap DAF-derived transmission is found in the Nissan Puke - er, ah, the Juke.
Yes, just replaced my 2017 CVT with 78k for $4k. It was sell the car for $5k with no tranny or put in a new one and pray for another 100k miles. Unfortunately I can’t afford a new car, so I optioned for the latter. Fingers crossed - in addition, A/C compressor, door lock switches on both driver sides went, and over the course of time significant wear and tear due to cheap labor/manufacturing. What happened to Nissan? They were a hallmark of quality, regardless of make/model. Very disappointed. My kids are now beating on it. Love my Mazda CX-5 however!
When Nissan was still Datsun, my ex and I had a sporty little sedan which we eventually traded in when the surprise third kid showed up. Never had a single iota of a problem, and from what I understand, Nissan was continuously dependable until probably the last decade or so. Back in the day, it was as reliable as a Toyota.
I own a 2017 Rogue Sport. I knew from the start it wasn’t a Sporty type vehicle, but just a smaller version of the full size Rogue. Which is the reason I bought it. And people talk about lack of power. I’m not sure what people want, it’s a 4 cylinder. If they want power buy a Corvette. ( I’ve owned a couple of those too. ) It has power for me to get on the interstate without any problems. And the ability to pass if needed. It has 174k on it and other than regular maintenance, I’ve put an alternator on it. I’m very pleased with it.
Own a 2023 Honda Pilot TrailSport, it drives fantastic and smooth. I was initially very annoyed with all the safety features that were disrupting my driving. However, Ive managed to turn most off. Also driving me nuts was the auto idle stop, but I managed to install a module (idle stopper) to override it automatically.
Finally, i was pissed that it came equipped with the tow bar, but no trailer wiring harness. I installed one.
Now Im much happier with it, but its a shame I had to go through these annoyances! 😅
Imagine the loss on a new Porsche, selling it after 1 year lol?
Exactly. That's the best deal is to purchase one that is 3 - 5 years old.

The only thing I learned is don’t ever buy a luxury SUV. But, I always thought they were overpriced garbage anyway. So I really didn’t learn anything as much as validating what I already knew.
The things is, these European vehicles feel much more luxurious on the inside, and luxury wears away after a year or two. They also are susceptible to a lot of leasing. I would expect 5-15% of the folks who drive these to get a new suv every year or two. You can get most of these for great prices if you buy them under 40k miles.
Worst vehicle I ever owned was a Cadillac SRX. Drove a ford for 10 years with almost no issues, now driving a KIA sportage SX Prestige hybrid- probably the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. Bought my first new car in 1975
Jeeper here, Im on my 5th Jeep. All American except for my Jeeps… LOVE THEM. We just purchased a 24 Compass and we love it!!! As we change so does our Vehicle, except for my old Rambler of course.
Need a quality, nice vehicle that takes regular gas? Take a look at Mazda. Trust me.
Yes, I’m on my way 2nd CX5, never had a problem with them very reliable.
I love my CX-5. Nothing exciting, no frills, but extremely reliable.
I wish Mazda made a minivan
They are great vehicles.
Mazda is great as long as you get one without a turbo. They only take premium gas, which is expensive. Replaced the turbo at 136000 miles, and the engine at 171000 and now it works great 🤣
9:29: The "turbo lag" people complain about has nothing to do with the turbos. Blame it on engine computer settings, which delay full power from idle to manage fuel economy, emissions and traction control issues. Most all cars have them.
Bought a 2016 Honda CRV. We’ve never had problems.
The turbo powered CRV have more problems than the pre-2017
They run good but interior noise is terrible.
I have a 2014 Honda CRV. Still running strong!
I had a Genesis GV80 when I lived in US and fantastic car, fun to drive, comfortable and with lots of space, fantastic service and warranty!
I have one going on three years and I love it!
Enjoy till you trade in. Then you will see the true value.
@@hopefullylost4012 I did and had a great drive for money! Much better than any American car but like a good Japanese!
@@hopefullylost4012 So true. Hyundai depreciation is significant.
We have a GV70, my 33rd vehicle lifetime. Rates in my top three.
The reason they get rid of them in the first year is because they are “last year’s model” and people who buy most of these don’t want to be seen driving last year’s model.
My Nissan Rogue insurance was high w.USAA... 2019, Eco-Sport, 2 WD... It drove great the whole time I had it, I replaced fluids reg. but I had it repo'd in Dec. 2023 due to gas, rent, food, and dining out costs. I keep a Benz as my backup, my c230 Coupe with 120K mi. is a gem ❤
There is a class of people whose passion is after new model cars, like change for the latest fashion wear. Probably nothing to do with the high maintenance cost, features or performance. They just get rid of their one year “old” car for a new toy, no matter what.
Notice nearly all models listed are high priced cars. The reality is that people over spend, and get in over their heads.
My 08 acura mdx just reached 300k and still going strong and shows no signs of retirement soon.
I had a ‘14 X1 which unfortunately got totaled. It was replaced with a ‘20 X1. More recently, I got a chance to borrow a ‘23 X3 and absolutely loved the handling and comfort. When it’s time to update, this just might my next selection! The X3 is BMWs biggest seller for a reason.
Best SUV I;ve ever had was a Porsche Macan Turbo. It was fast and handled like a sports car. A true Porsche.
You gave no explanation as to why the X3 appeared at #4 on your list. I recently took delivery of a 2024 X3 M40i and I love it. I’m still well under a year of ownership but I don’t anticipate me getting rid of it at the year mark. Can you provide some context? Thanks!
Yea X3 is the most confusing of all the vehicles in this list
I agree, I was shocked because I like the car.
Terrible reliability. Do you really need it spelled out? lol
@@nodak81
Not what CR says..
@@nodak81I call BS on that assessment. X3 is one of the most reliable vehicles on the market. You can look at many periodicals on it, including consumer reports which usually is very hard on the luxury brands.

🤗I bought a new Suzuki Vitara in 2018 in Leyte, Philippines and so far I haven't had a single problem with it. Great Japanese engineering.
I’ll stick with my 2010 Toyota Highlander. 100,000 plus miles and have replaced only tires and one sun visor.
I have a 2008 Porsche Cayenne GTS, Fully Loaded….Of course things are starting to need replacing, and Everything is Expensive….however ..Love it and learning how to repair things I can ….
I have a 2013 Cayenne S, and aside from a coolant leak (my shop was able to fix it quickly) and a failed ignition coil (replaced the whole set myself), it has been very reliable over four years.
I learnt rich people change their cars more than the rest of us. Not through buyers remorse, just because they can.
This is very true. And rich people probably paid cash for it (because why pay interest if you don’t have to?) the average person would have way too much negative equity to even consider trading in after a year. Wouldn’t even be an option
I have the LandRover Discovery Sport. The engine light says on all the time, it’s always needing minor adjustments. It’s not made for everyday usage.
Not tryin' to be a smartass but, if it is not made for everyday use, why is it marketed as a sport UTILITY vehicle?
@@rogerb5615 LandRover & Range Rover tend to over-accessorize their vehicles with all the bells & whistles. Theres about 15 different sensors on this SUV, all of them at some time needs to be replaced and on top of that the SUV only takes premium gas. It was cheaper for me to buy another vehicle and drive the Land Rover twice a week. It’s not an everyday kind of car.
@@rogerb5615 . Because Land Rover knows there is a sucker born everyday. Most customers are more worried about massaging seats and their infotainment than in what's under the hood.
I don't want more "features" I want quality and reliability, why is that so difficult for the car companies ?
They wouldn't make any endless streams of money
Good information but sometimes surveys like these have other reasons that contribute to the trade ins just like when a study says people who drink Diet Coke are more likely to gain wait it doesn’t factor in the fact that people who drink Diet Coke may be generally more unhealthy or eat more fast food and that’s why they drink Diet Coke. In this case these suv s probably have higher returns probably because they are luxury vehicles and people with more money can afford to trade vehicles at a whim when they get bored. I know because I live in slightly more upscale neighborhood and although I drive and f150 I’ve had for 5 years and my wife a Hyundai neighbors rarely keep cars for more than year and a half. Come home one day with new Range Rover then Escalade next year or another neighbor goes from Mercedes suv to Tesla then to hangover probably cuz neighbor got one all in less than two years.
Wait what!! The #8 Nissan Rogue Sport know also as Nissan Qashqai is one of the most famous and popular cars in UK and Australia
They are reliable and cheap to own and maintain
I give you that they are under powered on the highway which makes sense in a big country such the US but when you can’t go over 100km/hr because of speed cams they’re fantastic city cars.
A couple of years ago I bought a new Macan Turbo ($95K). At 40K miles the engine began leaking oil at the rocker cover (smelt it). Porsche had to yank the engine out to fix (warranty). It took 3 weeks waiting for parts. Before the repair the car felt superb, like a 2 year old car with 40K miles. After the repair it felt like a 10 year old car with 150K miles. Dreadful. Avoid.
As the saying goes about Land Rovers / Range Rovers: you need to buy two of them - one to drive and one for the shop
🤭
I purchased a brand new 2014 Nissan Rogue and got rid of it the same year! In month 8, I was heading out and went to start the vehicle but it didn’t start!!! An 8mo old car! I called Nissan and the tech immediately knew why. After sitting a bit it started up but I traded it in the same month. That’s insane !
I have a used Nissan Rogue sport and I love it. I’m 73 and pick my granddaughter up twice a week at highschool it’s 50 miles one way in heavy sometimes traffic. I feel safe an it has great power. Traded a Sentra 2015 in for it.
Hopefully it's a pre-Renault model.
To be fair anything is nice coming from a Sentra
Basically, don't buy the cheapest offering from any brand, you pay 90% as much as the next model up, but you get a model the maker cut a bunch of corners to get the price down.
Test drove the BMW X3, nice interior but rode so rough. We bought a Genesis GV70. We absolutely love it.
To much technology, when something breaks it cost you a ‘arm & a leg’ to fix.
Having worked in a car manufacturing plant, I learned that less work went into the cheaper models. That is how they jeep the cost down. Buy the more expensive model that had more engineering and attention paid to it.
The BMW X1 is super quiet, amazing. Good lease.
The Porsche Macan S is the best driving car on the road. Drove it on the Blue Ridge 5 X's with no one problem. My 2020 Defender 110 P400 is a beast. If you can't afford it, then...
So on all of these, some 92% of owners kept their SUVs?
Love my Telluride. Was going for an X3 or Disco, but bad press led to the best decision on vehicles we’ve ever made.
2018 and above X3 with the B48 engine is very reliable and a great car to drive.
Yea. This list is 🐎💩
I had always bought used & never thought I could buy new. Found some stability in life increased my budget. After much research I chose Subaru Forester. They hold their value so new seemed best option. Had great dealership experience (!). Love how comfortable it is.

This list is not very meaningful. Changing your vehicle is not always because of dissatisfaction. Many owners of luxury cars replace them simply because they can afford to do so.
Reliability, fuel consumption, owner satisfaction, and similar are all measurable. They provide an objective measurement of a cars merits.
Vehicles mentioned here are not necessarily bad or have poor owner satisfaction.
Bingo. I’ve had 9 cars in the last 5 years. I wasn’t displeased with any of them. I’m a car enthusiast and enjoy the experience of owning exciting cars.
Have had a Discovery Sport for nearly 4 years and have loved every second of it. Absolutely zero mechanical issues, comfortable ride,great interior. Ended up buying it when lease ended.
I bought our 2016 DS back when it was new at the time. We still own it today with zeros issues, but I can’t imagine anyone buying that car nowadays
X3 m40i is the best vehicle I ever had. And I’ve had at least 15 cars and trucks…….

I have a 2020 evoque and I love it. It’s fun to drive. It’s been towed for an engine issue once only, luckily it was under warranty. I’m looking into what to get next as I’d like a larger SUV that won’t break the bank outside of a warranty!
A barely 4 year old car and it's "only" been towed once. My car was over 8 years old, towed, and fixed within a couple hours. Three years and a 50k (260k total) later, and it hasn't needed a towed since.

Is the fact the Macan is top of the list the fact that there is a waiting list to get one and so people are offloading at a premium
It's actually at the bottom of this list.
And yes, your point is valid. Probably hard to resist a quick profit.

For the longest time, I wanted a Lexus NX. But life worked out otherwise and had to be realistic. Wound up with a CX 5 that is nice enough and meets my needs. Don’t feel like I settled at all.
I had a Mercedes GLA45 which I loved and hated as it had a tendency to stall after fill ups. Wasn’t every time but it was a lot and it was never fixed. I got a regular GLA250 which I really liked. Then I brought it in for a A (odd year) service at $267/hr for a whopping $933.00 for an annual service. If I wanted new wipers it was about $1050.00. At that moment I decided not only to dump the GLA but Mercedes, forever. Frankly, I loved German cars (had BMW’s and Mini’s) but I am tired of stingy options spread out over many packages. Go get most any Hyundai Limited trim and you get 360 cameras, adaptive cruise, cross traffic alert, ventilated seats and more. A German car may not even be able to option all that or it will be $25k in options. I just tried to option some Porsche Macans as I like the size and 4400lb towing, but I quickly went insane trying to find a complete set of tech options basic to virtually all middle class brands. You can adaptive cruise $1440.00 or Surround view, another $1200.00 but they will have a $4000.00 wheel upgrade and $525 for seat logos. You will spend $25,000.00 to get the 4 or $5,000.00 you wanted in overpriced options. Yes, they are faster and you can take them on the track but the interiors are dull (generally all black) and nothing special on the tech which you get on a Hyundai or Toyota by going up one trim for say $3k.
Thanks for this
I had a 2009 cayenne back in 2009 and had it five years and loved it. Never had a problem. Best car I’ve ever had owned
I couldn't ever afford most of these cars, so while I understand why you made the list, it has no relevance to me. 😮
AND ?
Other than the G Wagon, these are average priced cars these days bud.
