    At ReDriven, we’ll be taking you through the pros and cons of a huge range of used cars to see how well they’re going now that they’re a few years old, have thousands of kilometres on the clock, and are coming toward the end of their warranty, or maybe don’t have one at all.
    Plus, thanks to our resident mechanic, Jim, you’ll find out what commonly goes wrong with them and what might need to be fixed.
    Most importantly, we want to make ReDriven a voice for the most in-the-know used car experts there are...you guys.. See, you’re the ones that actually buy, live with, love and sometimes unfortunately hate the cars we’ll be reviewing.
    So we want to hear your thoughts. Hit us up in the comments, or on Instagram and Facebook.
    We’d love nothing more than for you to give us as much feedback as possible, so we can make this channel the best it can be.

    I have a 1990 Jackaroo I bought for 600 bucks yonks ago and it was an absolute unit. Still have it but retired it to the farm. Engine caught on fire a few years back and it’s now got every oil leak imaginable but it just won’t stop running. Sensational car.

    The Vitara has to have been one of the most rebadged vehicles in history. in addition to the Vitara, Sidekick, and Escudo from Suzuki and the Tracker from Geo it was also sold as
    -the Mazda Proceed Levante
    the Santana 300/350
    The Asuna Sunrunner
    The Pontiac Sunrunner
    the Chevrolet Tracker
    the GMC Tracker

    • @DavidNotSolomon
      @DavidNotSolomon Год назад

      They are great - much lighter (and cheaper) than landcruisers - older jackaroos handle better than older landcruisers (I have or had both). Landcruisers are better for really heavy going 4wding but most people don't that, or not often, and the price is more petrol and bad handling for the rest of the time you drive it.

    • @buckbeak0310
      @buckbeak0310 Год назад

      Totally agree, they have a bad reputation but no one can list anything specific (the guy in the video for example).
      Most people don't realise they are completely Isuzu built.
      I think the bad rep comes from the diesel motors and auto transmission. One diesel motor is reliable but slow. The other is unreliable or too complex because it's not common rail.
      The auto transmission is also common in heaps of sedans like BMWs so it is too weak for a 4x4 and often breaks.
      The 3.5L engine is the most powerful 6 cylinder I'm aware of until the 120 Prado petrol (auto only).
      IMO the 3.5L with a manual gearbox is a beast and beats most IFS competition (Pajero/90 series) in performance and everything else in value.
      They easily reach 300-500km before needing a rebuild if taken care of. This is a similar lifespan to many Toyota petrols which have a VERY similar design.
      Issue is, it's hard to find one in good condition. They're thrashed by bogans and backpackers.
