Don't show a Fiesta ST, and talk about how bad the automatic transmission is. The ST only came in manual.
So what you're saying is all manual transmissions are bad? Because he never mentioned the ST with an automatic transmission.
The Fiesta ST is the only good Fiesta of the Era, the manual transmission is very reliable. It has master cylinder issues, but that's about it
I knew both the Fiesta and Focus would be on the list. The only thing I had to replace on my Focus ST has been a purge valve (which is a known issue) and a waste gate actuator. Car has 108k miles on it. $120 in repairs all diy.
I have a plain Fiesta S with the 5 speed manual, no issues.
Same with its older brother to the st ,the mazdaspeed 6 it only came with a 6 speed , manual
Named all the jeeps but forgot probably the worst of all…… the Renegade. 😂
Fiat Panda in a different clothe.
@@canozmen9527me and my family rented one of those things when we took a trip to Portugal 😂
why is the Renegade so bad.? I was thinking of buying one because I live in a small Island. I see many of them here where I live. I know it is mostly a Fiat 500x.
Fiat 500 has been among the most selling cars in Germany for last 3 years. I do not know which country you live in. But car perception seems to be different in USA and the rest or the world.
For what it's worth, I've heard that the Fiestas without the Power Shitf trans (manuals) are actually pretty solid.
I used to be a commercial manager for Advanced Auto we'd 4 Ford Focus in our store all with the powershitf trans and everyone had at minimum 2 new trans installed, Corporate was constantly on my @$$ as to why deliveries were slow or late... I told them hard to deliver parts when 3 of the cars are awaiting transmissions and asked them to get rid of these Fords Focus and we back on track, 2 weeks later I had 4 brand new nissan nv200 lets just say parts were on time till the day I retired and started my own business.
I've own a Ghibli and honestly I've never had issues. the complaints on issues are usually the ones who don't keep up with scheduled maintenance or buy a high mileage one expecting everything to work perfectly.
They’re not even hard to fix
I worked at Enterprise rent-a-car for years and my Maseratis never gave me issues, mind you, these were rental cars and people were literally putting regular fuel in them lol
I expect a car that doesn’t double in cost due to crappy quality issues
My Toyota has 155,000 miles and everything works. Outside of routine maintenance, it has needed O2 sensor replacement. This is what I expect of a car in the 21st century.
I think the Ghibli gets a bad rap. From what I've read they are fairly reliable if you maintain them. The problem comes down to the cost to repair if you do have issues. I don't care, I want one so I can just park it and look at it. :)
Older pathfinders with the 4.0 V6 from 2010-2012 are actually known to be rock solid cars.
I would agree other than the radiators that where known to mix coolant with Trans fluid that would destroy the Trans. The latest pathfinder is worse with its cvt trans.
@@kennyclark2739 That is precisely why i specified 2010-2012 when they fixed all the issues.
The Mitsubishi Mirage is cheaply made and has little horsepower but it is reliable. I have over 200k in mine.
The MPG isn't bad as well. 36 city, 43 highway, and 39 combined is pretty good for a non-hybrid car.
I also owned one, a 2018 with 0 miles and the cvt transmission started over heating at 42k miles. I changed the fluid at 40k miles. Also, have you seen the crash test video? If you hit someing bigger than it fast, 100% chance of totalling it and occupants will have major bodily injuries. Cars passing me on the highway would make the whole car shake. My friends and I were driving to on the highway in a small group and they said on some turns, it looked like i was on 3 wheels ready to flip going 75 mph. I kept it till I wouldn't be upside down on trade-in. There is a reason why its going to be discontinued after 2024 I believe. The only, only, and only positive about that car was the mpg and low cost. I think now they are $20k for a base model.
Everybody watching to make sure their cars aren't on the list 🤣
My 2014 GTI has been flawless besides the water pump recall. 6 years....23K to 106k. Zero issues.
The Fiesta is only the AUTOMATIC version. If you have the ST or a manual regular one they work great and have no issues.
Mom has a early model xc60 and has been crazy reliable. Follow the maintenance schedules and you have a good reliable volvo
Same here. My mom has the 2019 XC90 T8 and it has been reliable and have a positive experience with it
Only thing I agree is that the maintenance cost is high since Volvo has low 3rd party parts so most of the parts come from Volvo themselves.
The key to getting a first gen XC90 is to find one with good maintenance history, and then keep up with maintenance. Avoid the T6 models, they have a GM transmission that will fail.
Had a 2012 Cruz with a 6 speed manual and it had 145,000 miles on it before it was rear-ended and totaled. Everything still worked, including the air, and I miss that car a lot. I can't think of one repair issue other than maintenance. I've looked for a replacement (with a manual trans) but all have lots of miles by now.
I had a 2013 Cruze (Holden in Aus), 6 speed auto 1.6L turbo that I got to 240,000 (149,000 miles) and never had an issue with it. Unfortunately was also rear-ended and the car was totally.
@@TheJayden3977 I have a 2010 Holden Cruze, I don't do a lot of driving, but I knew I wouldn't be when I bought it. Aside from replacing the battery and the electric window motor, I haven't had any issues. The one thing that annoyed me about it was the fact you can't replace the stereo with a used factory unit. What was the point of them doing that? To prevent theft? Nobody is going steal the stereo from a cruze, they'll look for a car with an expensive stereo, not a cheap one.
I LOVE MY FIAT ABARTH! No problems at all. Also great price for a fun car!
I agree that the Tiguan is underpowered but it is an awesome vehicle. My 2018 SEL 4 Motion has reliably taken me to over 14 states without an issue. It’s puts the power down when I need it. Launches quickly and gets up to highway speeds effortlessly
Jaguar/Land Rovers and Maseratis are proof that you can shine shit! Haha
The Q50 (with the VQ) should not be on the list. I can’t speak for the VR engine but the VQ engine alone is enough to buy the g37/q50
Handling, Ride quality, and Fuel economy were the complaints for that car. In other words, worst in its class. This might mean you could find one for cheap though.
@@christopherlowery855 that’s fair, I modded mine to make it better for handling. The VQ engine is legendary tho and it was enough to make me get one
We have a 2015 Maserati ghibli with 68,000 miles and it has been more reliable then our 2023 tlx pmc. The more miles the better on ghiblis everything that could have broke broke with the previous owners
Always great info guys 🔥
I had a Fiesta for 13 years, & never had a major issue with it. It was a good car.
I had two friends with major problems. One with engine blown, another with cylinder lining damaged due to engine oil leakage. Fiesta is pretty rare in my country. No one likes Fords here. Even Kia and Hyundai sells more cars than Ford over here.
You should let your viewers know that Nissan is owned by Renault and Jeep is owned by Stillantis as well as Maserati
Is the Chevrolet Cruze based on the Vauxhall/Opel Astra from about 10 years ago? Looks like a medium sized Opel/Vauxhall. Watching in Dublin, Ireland
I have to give you props for calling a Wrangler a car only idiots buy, while owning one yourself. Thus calling yourself an idiot, lol. Thats called keepin it 100%
FIAT - Fix it again Tony 🇮🇹
9:23 the current Pathfinder is still relatively new, having entered the market in 2022. The one you showed, go for 2010-2012 models with the 4.0 V6.
5:02
Is a baby charger hahaha
I have an 2014 Acura RLX Sport Hybrid and the transmission failed in July of last year. Can you tell me what your data source was concerning this Issue?
its funny how 1/3 of the list was stellantis products. Stellantis, the newest synonym for shitbox
The Cruz gets high reliability ratings from Consumer Reports.
I don’t think “underpowered” is really grounds for “unreliable”
No coincidence with Chrysler's dominance on this list as an old friend/Chrysler mechanic used to yell "Jesus Chrysler" when he saw many of these models.............
He-zeus Chrysler?? 🤔🤨
Well, you can't blame the 500. Fiat 500 is one way of letting you know it has 500 issues 😂
I have a q50 3.7. Engine is strong asl. However, I tend to have front end suspension issues a lot. Replaced 2 wheel bearings, and have to do an alignment a lot. I’m 22 and have a 2015, that someone had before so that could also be a huge factor. It moves tho
Maybe we got lucky, but my wife had a Jeep Patriot. Got it for a deal we couldn’t pass up. 4grand with around 80k miles. 300k miles when we finally traded it in. We traveled far & wide in that thing lol. Awkward exterior, but good about of space & storage inside. AC was ice cold even when it was scorching out. Never had any majors issues. Got a brand new suv when our daughter was born.
Nissan Altima i purchased new in 2010 has 150,000 miles today.
13 yrs owning a altima and never had transmission or engine problems.
Just stay on top of maintenance
Feels good not to have car payments
Here is 2007 Nissan Altima 2.5 with 220,000 miles. Normal wear and tear for age. All electronics inside is working.
10-15 years ago ALL Nissan dilership thay says "LIFETIME TRANSMISSION FLUID", from there is coming BAD Nissan CVT Transmission. But if you change it every 40,000 miles and if you are not too harsh on accelerator, this is very good car. This is far better than new ones with turbos on it.
@kuzmanovskinikolce maintenance is the key and how u drive it.
I change my transmission fluid every 60k.
Ppl think when they buy new or few yrs old that nothing should break.
Just make payments.
Wake up ppl.
Owners Responsibility is to read the Owners manual and keep up with maintenance.
Stop driving till it breaks.
Few hundred dollars on maintenance will save them thousands
I got so scared when the Z showed up at the beginning cause I own one
Z's always have been & still are bad ass!
The cruze is pretty good if you stay away from the 1.4 turbo motor. Only get the 1.8. Definitely not an elantra, corolla, or civic, but you can do worse for the money.
I own a 1.8L Cruze. Great car. I love American cars
My LAST American "made" car was a 1995 mini-vanI. Transmission went at 37K miles. Had a 30K miles warranty. Now I only buy Hyundai vehicles. I am now driving a Tuson. 93K miles. I only took the car in for warranty work once(2019). The AC Compressor was replaced. My out-of-pocket was for the serpentine belt.
BMW X5 should be on the list
Was thinking about buying a 2015-2019ish Tahoe or Suburban. The price of those things just tank. Might wait a few more months cus the car market is starting to come back to reality. Its crazy those things sold for 70 to 80k and you can pick them up for under 20k used.
You missed practically everything made by Jaguar Landrover
I have a dart waiting on a new transmission now
Bro there’s no way a q50 is unreliable . There is 27 million q50’s here in Miami bro . All of them seem reliable lol . But at the same time there’s a lot of alfas here too 🤷🏾♂️
Because it's the cheapest 300hp V6 car you can get...and they dont know Ford Fusions offered 325 hp 380 lbs torque AWD car between 2017 and 2019...... once q50s are over 100k miles they are really cheap.....3.7s are ok but only have 268 lbs torque kinda doggish only fast on highway with manual and few mods.....but the 3.0 turbos with Florida heat and no oil changes and coolant flushes.....and shutting car off immediately after driving not letting turbos cool off.....ruins turbos.....
Ok Brad, you've redeemed yourself.
You may know nothing about collectables, but you're a connoisseur in spotting the piss-beer of daily drivers. All of the Jeep picks (except the wrangler, which hasn't been deserving until recent years) I've been calling crap for the same reasons. Lack of reliability. A number of other cars could be put on this list, but at least have redeeming qualities. An example is the Cooper S. At least its fun to drive. I did expect more BMWs on this list. I also expected at least one Honda due to the mentioned transmission issues, which we saw.
The Q50 doesn't look cheap at least. But the Sonic, the 500, the Mirage, and the Fiesta have always looked like disposible entry cars for years. Starting at around $16k new, you get what you pay for.
Landrover has been a line of maintenance nightmares for a long time now. Discovery comes to mind as another example. This might be why I'm not a fan of the Defender. It looks like an electrical disaster waiting to happen. Someone will have to tell me if that's true or not. I'm just not sold. With the Ineos Grenadier as a direct competitor, it's a more traditional offroad vehicle.
Speaking of which, have you guys looked at the Gaz Tigr, or the Uaz Hunter as a replacement for your Bronco?
Overall, I can't really disagree with any of these entries. I am curious what your take is on the 2016 Nissan Maxima. I have a friend that swears by the one he had. I'm not sold though.
BTW, even though Chrysler started the minivan, the Caravan has been an unreliable pile since the 90s. They were popular because they were cheap. The Aerostar is probably one of the best minivans ever made, next to the Astro. At least in the domestic market. The Sienna and the Odyssey are modern equivelants. At least until around 2012. I'm not so sure about these days.
For full sized vans, I'm a real fan of the Chevy Express.
Until next time,
Cheers.
The Chevy express has been virtually unchanged over the last 15 years, a 2022 model has the same radio that my old 2008 Silverado 1500, but I’m assuming their logic is if it ain’t broke don’t fix it, which I completely agree with
I got to appreciate that almost none of those American cars came to my country.
Xc90 I always liked but knew of couple issues some friends had with volvo
I have a 2016 Honda fit is that bad?
For what they are the used Maserati GT is a great buy and I know a lot of people who drive them as a daily driver. There is a huge difference between Maserati models and model years. If you want an Italian "semi exotic" on a budget they can be the best buy out there.
What about the bimmers and Audis?
The new bmw are way more reliable than the old one ,especially with b58 or s58 engine
So, this is basically a Stellantis-list with sprinklings of other manufacturers^^
I had 8 years a 500 sport and it was a very fun reliable car.
"what do you think of the list" "I think you should've said how many of them were sold so we can kinda get a chance to see like what the numbers are.
Range Rover evoque sure do look great 😊
So many people disagrees with this video and also my dads gonna buy gle 350 or gla is it good
Infiniti Q50 you got wrong
I had a MY2015 ghibli engine blow up at 42,000 due left bank cylinder failure…diagnosis was due to shitty quality gas…so make sure to get fuel system cleaner every 2000 miles and avoid sketchy/wholesale club/grocery store related gas stations bc those have state minimum required fuel cleaner additives. Car was also driven pretty hard majority of its life so it’s not 100% a quality issue

My wife drives a Nissan Juke (build in 2021) it drives quite fine and 0 problems so far.... is it ugly? the old ones yes, but the new ones are quite nice
They don’t make them anymore.
You mentioned the civic as a great reliable vehicle, I beg to differ. I have been in the car business for 20 years and the civics we take in are beat piles of junk. My brother bought a 2010 and it was the worst car he ever owned, will not buy another Honda after that. If you want a small car there is nothing better than a Corolla.
Remember the Jeep CJ's Cool, fun and reliable.
You guys missed every bmw and thats about it
I remember a certain year of ghibli they couldn't get wet...
Rain water would cause moisture to form around the battery terminals..
The only way to get they to start was to leave the battery exposed to open air and dry it out..
😂
Bad time for little cars? My Corolla thinks otherwise
I drive a 2013 Chevy Cruze. Only 54,000 miles and no issues. It is a great car. Sure my Cadillac is faster but they are both great. I think the Civic should be on the list
Keep Cherokees were bad in the 2014-15 range but improved a lot by 2018
The Volvos are excellent until you need to do maintenance call or repair, but what makes it worst is fact that their is no repair manual available it makes victims of the owner, just can you get a workshop repair manual
Missed the Jeep renegade
Where are the BMWs?
Damn some people really want to see bmw here
The new ones are way better
Wat are the other cars in the q50 class?
BMW 3 series, Audi A4, Mercedes C-class, Lexus IS, Acura TLX etc.
What? No Charger/Challenger with the 6.4l on list or older S-Class Mercedes? Guess this good news for me as a 392 Charger owner and wanting to upgrade to an 2018-2020 S Class sedan eventually.
Prob get an AMG something fircwhat you get trading in a scat
@@YourMomsPlaceLastNight you can get an AMG S63 from about $50k in the 2015-2017 model range
@ItsPinecone_911 yea my 2010 Z06 is still going for 50k ......its crazy.....wife chose a 2018 Ford Fusion Sport over an S class Mercedes.....we are quite happy with it.....325 hp 380 lbs torque......and AWD.....in a Fusion lol....who knew lol...if I was going to go pick a newer V8 sports car.....I would prob go with a Lexus ISF 500....what I want next.....
@@YourMomsPlaceLastNight the Fusion Sport is nice. I remember wanting one back in 2018 when I still had my 2012 Ford Focus Hatchback and my 2002 Porsche 911.
Absolutely heartbreaking
Nope the focus st manual is extremely reliable
Had a fiesta with 245k.....just make sure its manual transmission
Hey bro, i am an engineer in Nissan's interior team Nd from a ergonomics and engineering POV I can tell you that the interior of pathfinder is good .
Of course you are
@@dancho0012I mean, he could be. He did specify the interior and ergonomics being good. Typically we care more about getting to our destination, than how comfortable we are getting there... Depending on distance. Therefore, it's a little like working in the paint department for the Fiat 500. The paint and clear coat can be perfect. They don't matter if the car spends most of its days in the shop.
A focus is pretty solid right??
So far my 2018 AMG45 GLA is sweet AF
You are right on one point. Volvo has come a long way since the 240. Trouble is that it is ALL downhill. My 240 has had to haul several newer Volvo XC models out of ditches. Yes, the XCs were all wearing proper winter tires as was my old beast. The controls in the 240 are sensible. Not so the new ones. The new things, which means anything newer to the market than the 900 series, are okay cars but piss poor Volvos. Volvo lost the plot in the 90s.
If you buy Tesla's Semi you will trully understand what it means to have the worst one.
Bmw fans came up with this list
i had a ghibli for 2 years never had any problems it was the best car for what it cost to keep, i only lost £600 on purchase price after 2 years
The facts that not 1 Bmw made the list 😂and the q50 is on there?? Yeah that’s wild.
Honestly the Infiniti Q50 isn’t suppose to be on this list ..
The Nissan Juke isn’t bad as well
I’m guessing the jeep gladiator is pretty bad as well
With all the trash talking the auto community does on Kia and Hyundai…. None made the list. Good.
The Infiniti q50 is fast.. We all know that more power means more gas.. Fuel is not an issue when you're having fun.. Handing.. Like with all cars.. Bigger wheels means Less Tire cushion between the street and the rim/suspension components resulting in firm to hard bumps.. Bad cornering just get performance struts 🏃🏾🏃🏾🏃🏾🏃🏾🏃🏾🤣😆😆
Wondering where you are getting your information. Sounds like its more opinion
Only one subaru on this list?.. That's pretty good for them.
Don't hate on my 200!! It wasn't a truck which is what I wanted but it was fun until I trashed it!!
Um why does your logo look like the Sunoco sign?
Just to make sure get either Toyota or Honda 👌
If you say fiat 500 is unreliable, you know nothing about that car😂😂
You missed most opels
You won't believe where the mercedes GLE is built
The Mazda RX-8 didn't make the list. I'll take that as a win!
It should have, lol.
100k mi engine rebuilds FTL. Those oil injectors are also cancer. Same with the wiring harness. Then there's the giant nut holding the flywheel in place. All to replace some apex seals that wear out due to being more complex than piston rings. Good effing lord. And engine braking, not really a thing in an RX-8. Such a hard pass. The look and speed of that car is so not worth the headache. Give me an STi over an RX-8. Easily the lesser of the two evils.
Can't believe Kia and Hyundai didn't make the list.
Recently, I was in an Uber vehicle, a 2015 Hyundai Sonata with 312,000. The only issue the driver had was his alternator, which he replaced. I was mind blown. 🤯
Wow I must be a huge idiot cuz I would actually buy almost all of these and bro my dad owns a 2006 Volvo XC90 V8 and it's actually quite reliable. So how tf did the xc90 get on this list!?
just because a car is cheaply made and is underpowered doesn't make it.. unreliable? i dont get why cars like the mirage or Infiniti arae on this list, like yeah there are better cars but I wouldn't say they're unreliable
The Mirage is a step up from chinesium. It's the modern Yugo. I'm sure they will be collectors items in the future. In other countries, these things are great. But in the US, they get trampled on the highway. They're also pretty much disposible. I'm interested to see how they fair in Germany.
The Q50 is just an under performer... Supposedly. Reliability doesn't seem to be in question, despite the thumbnail. I don't know man, these guys are hit or miss sometimes.
Gone are the days they used tp make simple,dependable cars. Now a days its plastic disposable junk. There are still lots of idiots who buy these unreliable cars with 80 months financing. I drive my 1985 mercedes, runs like a champ,with no repairs.
Not an Audi on the list 😎
My little car is Ultimate.....MIATA
