Fair enough! Everyone has their own priorities with cars, and it’s all about what works best for you

@@driveby_design toyotas last a lot longer no arguing that, its a better quality product but nowadays the sellers are charging brand new prices for 10 year old toyotas :(

@@julioc.7760 You're so right! the prices for used ones lately are crazy. It’s wild that a 10-year-old model can still go for nearly the same price as a new one. It says a lot about the quality, but still, it's hard to justify sometimes!

That's awesome! It sounds like you've taken great care of it.

Totally agree! The 4Runner's ruggedness and durability definitely make it a legend. Its quirks just add to its charm!

Thanks for your feedback

Thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that your 2024 Jeep Compass is providing a quiet and smooth ride. It just goes to show that everyone's experience can vary depending on a lot of factors like road conditions, driving style, or even personal preferences. I'm glad it's working well for you!

@@tomekichiyamamoto2177 I'm really sorry to hear about your accident and the situation with the insurance company. It must be frustrating to hear that they don't want to cover the repair costs. Have you considered getting a second opinion on the damage or appealing the insurance company's decision? Sometimes, exploring these options can lead to a more favorable outcome.

@@4047530025 Totally agree! The 3.6R engine offers great performance and reliability. Do you have any favorite models with this engine?

I own a 2015 legacy 3.6R with 133k it is not only going strong it's smooth as silk .

In the same boat literally 😅. What a fun boxer 6 machine eh!

@@driveby_design 3.6R owner here. Except I have a 2011 Subaru outback. Which I love to death. To my knowledge the only generation outback offered with the 3.6R engine AND a 5 speed transmission, rather than a cvt. I actually took it to a local track day and was massively impressed!

@@youtuber5709oh, that's great to hear

Thank you for pointing that out.

you could buy a barebones Corolla for $10k in 2006.

That's great to hear! It sounds like your 2014 Corolla has been a reliable vehicle for you. Getting 35,000 trouble-free miles with just routine maintenance is impressive. It seems like you made a good purchase!

It's clear that you've had a great experience with Toyota Corollas over the years. Your track record with them, especially in terms of reliability and low maintenance costs, is impressive.

@@driveby_design In Thailand and Japan, we used Corolla LE for Taxi and police patrol that ran 3 shifts with simple factory maintenance during shift change. No toll in for mechanical brake down no brain damage computer meltfunction no Sofware update BS and no financial drain parts cost either.

Not stoned, just realistic. A well-maintained 2014 Toyota Corolla can be a great deal at $10k, especially with low mileage and good condition. Reliability and longevity are key! 🚗💰

Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

@@driveby_designwhen buying a used car, good luck trying to get a pre-purchase inspection…around here it’s a 2-3 week wait. By that time, the car you’re looking at is gone. 🤨

@@gumerdominguez4091 That's impressive! The 2017 Accord is also a strong contender because it builds on the reliability and performance of the 2014 model. It features the same robust 2.4-liter engine and CVT, with improvements in technology and safety features.

2013 Honda Accord 2.4 4cyl. Worst Worst Worst startup sound ever. Sounds like an old peice of junk Ford sells. Oh, it's the engine too and Honda did have a small TSB on it. it's like a $2500 fix and the problem comes back after the fix. Literally is embarrassing doing a cold startup around people. For Honda it should be embarrassing selling such a dreadful engine with this problem.

@@riseabove3082Thank you for sharing your experience with the 2013 Honda Accord 2.4 4-cylinder. I understand how frustrating it can be to deal with recurring issues

@@driveby_design you are safe on reliability for sure mine 10 years with me

Thanks for sharing your experience!

It’s fascinating how well-maintained cars like the 2012 Honda Accord continue to offer reliability and value even years later. Their proven track record makes them a smart choice for anyone seeking quality without breaking the bank.

@@driveby_design I don't disagree with you. It's just sad how normal people with normal jobs can't really afford new cars anymore.

@@rabd3721 That’s true, Rising prices and economic challenges have made it more challenging to access newer models.

@@driveby_design Yeah cause of coporate greed! Come on man, this is the world I have to become an adult in?

Thank you for sharing your experience with the 2009 Honda Accord coupe V6! It sounds like you've had a great time with its sporty handling and surprising performance. It's impressive to hear how reliable it's been over 142,000 miles with minimal maintenance. Your recommendation for the V6 is noted. The sedan does offer more practicality, but there's no denying the coupe's stylish appeal. Thanks again for your insights!

Pricing can definitely vary a lot depending on the country and market demand! The 2012 Honda Accord might be more expensive in certain places due to factors like availability, condition, and local taxes. It’s interesting how the same car can have such different values worldwide!

A low mileage c63 in the US is 25k-30k lol

Mine suffered from transmission issues. I had an 08 accord v6

It is such a nice car. I remember the first time I drove it.

@@driveby_design seriously i love it but do the one for 2017

@@monacre1 Okay 😍

It's true that the Hyundai Sonata, particularly models with the GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) engine, has had some issues with engine reliability. Some owners have reported engine failure around the 100,000-mile mark. This is often linked to problems with the engine design and manufacturing, which can lead to excessive wear or even complete failure. Hyundai has acknowledged these issues in the past and has issued recalls and extended warranties to address them. However, it's always a good idea to have any used car thoroughly inspected by a mechanic before purchasing.

I have driven a 2023 rental Sonata and it was OK. Nothing special, very underpowered. This segment is mostly for airport rental fleets and Lyft/Uber share ride services.

@@Pamlicojdjdj1487 Thank you for sharing your experience! While the 2023 Sonata might not be the most powerful in its segment, it’s designed to offer reliability, comfort, and affordability

That's awesome to hear! What do you love most about your 2024 Kia Seltos SX?

The two tone color package, the exterior and interior aesthetics, the LED lights all around, the 18 inch wheels, the AWD, the little turbo engine which makes the car peppy, the panoramic info screen, Bose Speakers, etc. etc. It looks great and is fun to drive.

I'm sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience with your 2020 Camry. That's really disappointing, especially considering Toyota's reputation for reliability. What issues did you encounter with it?

@@driveby_design A lot from transmission, cruise, air conditioner, gas gauge and much more. Normal according to Toyota when I brought up the lemon law. No one in the family wanted to drive it anymore after it slammed on the brakes on the highway for no reason. It almost got us rear ended a couple times.

@@OnlyMeee-ie3dw I'm really sorry to hear about your experience. It's important to feel safe and confident in your vehicle. Given your situation, it might be worth looking into a different manufacturer with a strong reputation for customer service and reliability. Before making your next purchase, consider checking reviews and speaking to other owners about their experiences. Additionally, always ensure you thoroughly test drive the vehicle under various conditions to catch any potential issues early. If you continue to face challenges, consulting with a consumer protection agency or legal expert about your rights under the lemon law might be beneficial.

@@driveby_design I replaced it with a 10 year old Ford. It hasn't given me one problem after three times the miles I put on the Toyota. Glad I didn't buy a Tacoma or Tundra! Never thought I'd like a Ford more than a Toyota. Of course, it's old and not a newer Ford.

@@OnlyMeee-ie3dw It sounds like you made a great choice with that Ford! Sometimes older vehicles can be surprisingly reliable, especially when well-maintained. It’s good to hear it’s been problem-free for you. It’s always nice to find a car that you can depend on. Here’s to many more miles of smooth driving with your Ford! ❤️

Its not a new camry!Its 2024 model😂😂 I already bought a 2025 two weeks ago.

I’m looking to purchase the XSE. The dependability has always been good, I like the design and the infotainment system is understandable. The downside is the head room in the back, especially if you’re tall at 6’. It handled like a sports car even though it puts out only 232 horsepower. However, the torque is great and it feels faster than the specs.

@@michaelkugler9311 The XSE is a great choice! It has a sleek design and a lot of nice features. It's good to hear that you appreciate its dependability and the infotainment system. The headroom can be a bit tight, but overall, it sounds like a solid option. Have you taken it for a test drive yet to see how it feels?

@@driveby_designyes! We went ahead and decided to purchase one. My wife wants this midnight blue color, which they did not have in stock, so the dealer is trying to get one from another location. One other aspect I thought was important with the XSE is AWD. We compared it to the Honda Accord and Mazda. Based on Toyota’s longevity in hybrid experience, we thought best to stick to Toyota. The price tag about floored us though. Expensive is understatement. If my daughter’s car hadn’t died, we wouldn’t have purchased a car period. However, one can save $5K per year in gas at or near 45mpg. What truly set it apart from the rest was its styling hand handling. You do feel the road, but I like that. My wife on the other hand prefers a smoother ride like her 2018 Avalon. Overall, I give Toyota credit for styling and dependability. The colors in the interior have a nice sporty design, but be prepared a whopping $45K for it after fees. Amazing that a 2.5 4cylinder hybrid could cost as much as some Cadillacs out there. Inflation for you

@@michaelkugler9311 It sounds like you made a well-considered choice! The midnight blue XSE with AWD is a great pick. Toyota’s longevity and hybrid tech make it stand out, despite the high cost. With 45 mpg, you'll save a lot on gas. The styling and handling seem perfect for you, while your wife prefers the smoother ride of her Avalon. Hopefully, the dealer gets the exact model you want soon! Enjoy the new ride!

It sounds like you’ve done extensive research on this SUV, and it's great to hear that you’ve only come across one negative review since it hit the market. Regarding the interior color, it's true that some options might not be available in the US. It could be worth checking with the dealer for custom options or aftermarket solutions if you’re set on that specific color.

@@driveby_design . It looks like a nice car, since people have bad opinions about Hyundais I think it’s like how you treat your car . It looks like a long term car . I mean I have a ford focus 07 292k miles and it’s still running smooth . People usually keep saying it’s trash :)

Absolutely, maintenance is key! Every car's longevity depends on how well you take care of it. It's great to hear your Ford Focus is still running smoothly at 292k miles! 🚗💨

I understand your frustration. The shift towards smaller, turbocharged engines is often driven by manufacturers trying to meet fuel efficiency and emissions standards. However, this can sometimes feel out of step with consumer expectations, especially when reliability and cost are concerns. It's definitely a topic that sparks a lot of debate among car enthusiasts and everyday drivers alike. What kind of engine or features do you think auto manufacturers should focus on instead?

@@driveby_design I'll put it like this . If I could buy a basic truck with Crank windows I would. People don't need HUGE Displays, Heated Seats, Cooled Seats, and All these Cameras. Back to basics. Keep it Simple Keep it Stupid reliable.
