- I wouldn't be caught dead owning one of these 3 car brands, and I don't think you should buy them either. This is a tough video to make, because every car brand has some great things going for them, but these are the car brands to avoid.
Whether you're buying a luxury car, a performance car, an exotic car, or just an everyday car, there's a car for you. However, these are the car brands to avoid as far as I'm concerned.

They say Range Rovers are the most stylish and comfortable vehicle you can sit in while waiting for the tow truck. 😅
Always lease a Range Rover. Never ever EVER buy one.
I can contest to this 😭🤣
It is often said that 7 out of 10 Range Rovers are still on the road. The other three made it to their destination.
Hahahahahahahahaha!!!
This is gold!! 😂
Range Rover has had problems forever...it's amazing what they charge for them...
Most of the "buyer" lease their vehicle, ranger rover, bmw, and Mercedes
Low IQ people with full pocket of money still purchase them
my mom bought one last week she loves it, no problems yet...
Land Rover warranty is
4 years/50,000 miles. That's all that junk can afford.
Jeep warranty is
5 years/60,000 miles. Little better, but still awful.
Toyota, GM, VW, Honda, Ford, BMW, Nissan, Stellantis, Mercedes warranty is also
5 years/60,000 miles!
Stay away from junk. Go with Hyundai-Kia's legendary 10-year 100,000 mile warranty!
Name costs ! LOL😆
Range Rover definitely turns heads while mechanics turn wrenches 🔧 😂 Great review Mark have a fabulous week 🇨🇦
Range Rover warranty is
4 years/50,000 miles. Junk warranty!
Shockingly, others' are not much better!
Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, VW, Mercedes, BMW, GM, Ford warranty: 5 years/60,000 miles! Little better than junk
😂😂😂
Hyundai-Kia's legendary warranty is 10 years/100,000 miles!

Range over owners will know that their cars are more days inside of their garages than on the road.
Been driving Hyundais and Kias for 6 years. Son has a 2003 Sonata with over 150,000 miles that runs smoothly. My 2017 Kia Cadenza has never had a problem except for a rattling passenger handle.

Love my 2018 optima. Not one single problem since I bought it.
I think it comes down to proper maintenance. Too many keep a car for 2 or 3 years then trade it in or it is a lease car they don't intend keeping got long. So consequently they don't worry too much about proper maintenance and drive them as if they stole it .
I have driven Hyundai for 30 years. Fabulous cars and easy to maintain. Love them.
There was recent survey saying the: One out of three Hyundai owners are JUST as STUPID as the other two! LOL
I’m driving a 20 year old Hyundai Sonata GLS and it doesn’t owe me a dime. Love this car. Just under 100,000 miles, comfortable and solid drive. Was thinking of trying the 2024 Kia Seltos, but not after hearing all the bad reviews, CVT trans & price. I prefer to stay with auto trans so will likely look at the Mazda lineup. But I really hate those ridiculous tablets sitting on the dashboards of cars today.
Don't worry about it. Just buy it. Hyundai-Kia guarantees that transmission will last 10 years/100,000 miles.
Range Rover warranty:
4 years/50,000 miles 😂😂😂
Chrysler, Toyota, Honda, VW, Mercedes, BMW, GM, Ford warranty:
5 years/60,000 miles 😂😂😂
@live2 ignore the Hyundai Fanboy
you haven’t put 100k on a 20-year old car? OK riiiight
@@CKY1942 You should also check the recalls of those vehicles. Engine fire like Hyundai or kia or windshield wiper issue like GM? Good luck with your hyundai and 100 years of warranty. 😂
Mazda has issues also. Just do your research. I go millions of miles combined with Toyota Lexus Hybrids. They are your best bet. I have a 2021 Corolla up to 65 MPG and super low maintenance costs. And I have never added any oil to any of them because it was low. Good luck.
The only thing that doesn’t disappoint to work in those Range is the CHECK ENGINE LIGHT.
My 2017 Kia Soul has had zero problems in six years. One recall I can remember. Best car I ever bought. Been driving for 50 years.
are we in 2067?
@@user-lk7tv3ye7o Only in our minds.
I have had a much different experience with Hyundai. I owned a 2007, 2013, 2017 Elantra and a 2020 Sonata and they all have been very good cars. The 2007 was totaled in a wreck but kept my daughter safe. The 2013 Elantra is being driven by her and has around 145,000 miles on it with very little going wrong. The 2017 Elantra has 51,000 on it and the 2020 Sonata around 36,000 on it and both have been extremely reliable, trouble free with great gas mileage. Hyundais have very good safety ratings as well. I wouldn't keep buying them if they were as much trouble as you say, just adding my two cents!
I put almost 400,000km on my 2015 Elantra before I gave it up....hardly any issues...sucked in snow cause wheel wells clogged...some rotor issues but was a work horse for me over all!
@@rogerpaquette109Same here, I currently have a 2015 Hyundai Elantra SE. I haven’t any major issues either. Maybe because they were built in South Korea!
The Elantras don’t have issues like the other Hyundai models.
@@cortezmiller1899if you’re in the us or anywhere in North America, then it was made in the us. Either way they are reliable regardless of where they come from
You've had four cars since 2007. I'm still driving a 2006 GMC ENVOY I bought in 2009. How do you know a vehicle is reliable if you only keep it 3 or 4 years. You're dumping them because they are disposable.
I took you up on the challenge to google the most recalled vehicles and Hyundai and Kia were not truly represented. Ram, Jeep, Tesla and surprisingly, Porshe dominated all the lists.
I have had 2 mildly used Hyundais and a Genesis never hand any issues with them while I owned it. For me the brand I would never own is Fiat
That's why Americans love Hyundai-Kia!

Owner of a 2018 Kia Sportage 2.4L with 87K miles, its been a very reliable SUV. This is our first Korean vehicle and IMO it is very well made and easy to work on (l do my own maintenance and repairs, dont trust my local stealerships). The only issue so far has been the excessive oil consumption problem which is apparently common with all GDI engines from all manufacturers. The GDI engine design causes excessive carbon buildup in the piston rings, mine started loosing alot oil at @75K. I did a DYI piston ring cleaning procedure using berryman B-12 chemtool, only cost me $20. Problem was solved, no more oil consumption and the SUV is running great. I would definitely consider buying another KIA, but I already own the best one, since its paid for.
In only 20 years, Hyundai-Kia doubled sales! Surpassed American Honda and Stellantis in sales! Only behind Toyota to take the Asian sales crown!

So it’s a great car except for the fact that at 85,000 miles the engine is basically shot? No bottle of tonic is going to permanently repair that issue. Consider the cylinder wall damage.
Not all DGI engines GULP oil! My '13 Focus with 93k miles on the clock uses LESS than .5qt of synthetic oil between YEARLY oil changes at 4500mile interval. The 2013 to 2018 Foci have NEVER had oil issues and they ALL have DGI engines! Apparently Ford CAN build engines that have proper oil control and Hyundai/Kia not so much! I admit that the Focus DOES have carbon build up on the back of the intake valves that requires induction cleaning at times, which ALL GOOD DGI engines need, except for the "dual" injector ones like those in current Toyota models! I realize that you Kia-fan boys are butt-hurt with all the bad press that your POS vehicles are getting, but it is what it is!
@@CKY1942 High sales volume doesn't mean S**T! I can name several BEST SELLING cars that were TOTAL garbage: Chevy Vega; Ford Pinto; Chevy Citation; Chevy Chevette; Chevy Cavalier ,etc. Cheap products ALWAYS are best sellers. That's the reason "Dollar Stores" are SO popular!
I thought the same thing. 85K is nothing. A great car doesn't have oil burning problems that soon. or ever for that matter if properly maintained. @@MJA5
Our Hyundai (note the Y) has been excellent. Reliable, economical.
I remember the Hyundai Pony. I didn’t see too many which caught on fire because here in Canada they rusted out well before they caught on fire.
I don't think Pony's were sold in the states. Canada was a proving ground test for their entry into North America. I knew a guy who had one and it was a very basic car it had leaf spring rear suspension.
I learned to drive stick on a Pony. It did rust out quickly. Thing was bare bones. No A/C or radio.
I see so many Hyundai-Kia vehicles! Hyundai-Kia outsells American Honda!

Are you excited to eat at McDonalds as well, bud? You know, they sell more hamburgers than anybody else, so they must be the best hamburger makers, right? Lol. Get a clue.
😢 I partially agree. I have a wonderful Hyundai with 480,000 miles. It is running fine. The only reason that it doesn't have more miles is that there is a long term code causing me difficulty in smog. I've Driven KIA and HYUNDAI since 2000. Will over 200,000 miles on each.
Thanks for sharing but still way too many issues in different models that mean the risk is too great

They're great cars, had problems with Toyota and Honda.
@@stockey..You have catastrophic issues with Kia and Hyundai ...not the same thing.. They are not a good brand brand...
I’ve had several Jeeps (Wranglers and Grand Cherokee) that were some of the most reliable and most comfortable vehicles I’ve owned. I agree the Renegades and Cherokees are junk but my last Wrangler I put 168,000 trouble free miles on and the new owner is still driving it every day.
What year models?
I love my Hyundai. Over 200k miles and still runs fantastic.
They are POS
That is not the norm... You had good luck..
They're very reliable.
I have an old 2002 Hyundai Elantra GT. It's been a fantastic car, and now lives a very challenging and hard life in Central America. On the other hand, my niece has a newer Hyundai Santa Fe that had the engine grenade on her, as seems to be a common problem. They have a lot of problems as of late, and if I were in the market for another car, would avoid them.

I drive a 2007 Santa Fe with 135K on it and it is the most reliable car I have ever owned. There was a recall on the valve cover gasket leaking onto the alternator but Hyundai covered the repair in full.
My 2021 Sonata has legitimately been extremely good for me. I work at an auto auction so I get to see which ones are bad... We got a 21 sonata in that was beat up and it still was running quiet and smooth. Hopefully the 21-23 updates fixed the issues.

@@CKY1942well this isn’t because of engineering that was purely a financing deal that has pushed the sale up of Korean and Chinese companies
@cky cool story Fanboy
@@AliRaza-yq9uxwell, South Korea is not a big market and Hyundai do not sales a lot car in china, not even top 10, Chinese market has different brand which like BYD or NIO, these Chinese vehicle companies are killing the Korean ,Japanese brand or even German brand in there.
Idk what this man is on about. 2014 Sonata since new and not a single issue. 150,000+ miles and the only maintenance done is regular oil changes, new tires and one battery change. The car runs smooth, gets great mpg, and for 2014 was packed with technology. I’ll buy another Hyundai.
I had a 2018 Kia Optima and it was one of the best vehicle I've owned. Put 60k on it in 18 months and not one issue. Traded it in on a 2019 Ram Classic. I'd take the Kia any day although I had zero issues with the Ram I drove for 3 years.
I have a 10 year old Kia Sorento v6. I am glad I never bought the 4cyl engine. I have not had issues with my car except the steering wheel controls that sporadically fail. Other than that it has never failed mechanically.
I Have 2 Kia Borrego, one with 300K and the other one 200K miles on them, most dependable vehicules ever owned.
Hyundai V6s and the 1.6 turbo are known to be reliable
I have 105k and I will drive it until the literal wheels fall off
The 4cyl engine wasn't that bad. Not every engine failed. Millions were sold with the engine and addressing the defect didn't cost Hyundai-Kia that much. In addition, Hyundai-Kia sales never declined because of it. Actually, Hyundai-Kia doubled sales in last 20 years.

@@stockeythose are great engines before Hyundai decided to go with GDIs.
Been driving Koreans for a while. Kia Rio and now a Hyundai Tucson for the past 5 years. No major issues, just had to replace headlights within warranty period, otherwise comfy, quiet and drives like a breeze.
Headlights have been a big problem with Kia’s and Hyundais. I owned a 2020 kia optima and I had headlight problems every 2 months,and then it ended up getting totaled. I now own a 2023 Hyundai Elantra,and I had to take it back to the dealership to fix the condensation in the headlights. But other than that, I haven’t had any other problems with the cars.
@@Bumbumbr-zu5gc buy a toyota corolla and u will be able to live in peace
Not all of us experienced the good side. Just recently, major recalls, engine fires. My Elantra was a smoke generator.
Say what you want about Kias, if you enter a modern day Kia and start to press on the interior panels you'll experience a much better build quality than anything coming from Stellantis, plastics are a higher quality, you'll notice things line up really well and no squeaks or rattles when you push in, the panels have good solid attachments to the underlying body so nothing moves much. I'll give them props for at least trying to elevate their interiors, can't say the same for Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, or even a brand like Mitsubishi with horrible interior quality fit and finish.
Indeed, i have only good things to say about Kia.
Yeah that would be on my avoid list as 4th. Kia is trying to shine up junk
My friend has a Stinger GT 3.3 and its amazing. He went from an Audi S4 to a Kia and he likes it more.
This guy is outdated as fck. But I get it though, KIA hundai used to he absolutely terrible. They are completely different brand now, 2023. They have alot of work ahead of them to laundry their old stigma...
He watches too much Scotty Kilmer.@@csguak
Recalls are actually good...25+ years ago the manufacturers would flat out deny an issue existed causing massive amounts of inconvenience and even deaths...at least a recall means the issues are acknowledged and are being fixed.....
Great video...
Not all Hyundais are unreliable. I haven't heard about any recalls for the engine or transmission 2021-2023 Santa Fe Limited & Calligraphy models with the 2.5L turbo-4.
There's actually been reports popping up lately of them having fuel leaks and burning oil for the new 2.5 turbo. Also something with the collision avoidance system malfunctioning. I was just reading about this yesterday.
Hyundai-Kia are reliable. Even Toyota have recalls. Consumer Reports and JD Power say Hyundai-Kia are reliable. In addition, Hyundai-Kia provides legendary 10-year 100,000-mile warranty.
These are why Hyundai-Kia doubled sales in last 20 years.

@@CKY1942 JD power is a joke to listen to. Manufacturers literally pay them to say nice things. And only the elantra has ever had positive feedback on consumer reports.
@@CKY1942 also 20 years ago they got their view of reliability because they didn't use their own engines. Their older successful models used Mazda and Mitsubishi engines.
According to Consumer Reports, April '22 auto issue, the '21 Santa Fe has WORSE than average reliability, therefore NOT recommended!
I have a 2011 Kia sportage with over 200000 miles on it and it still runs great. Had its first tuneup at 200000 miles. It’s the best car I’ve ever owned! Maybe I got the gem. Only two recalls I ever got was for rust proofing and the recent anti-theft recall. Jeep and Rangerover products, I agree.
bon fires for the other ones
I agree, Hyundai & Kia are good cars. Maybe only surpassed by Toyota or Honda. And nothing wrong with cvt's. Toyota is using them in their reliable hybrids. Range rovers are terrible, like most English cars.
Ive had good luck with 2009 kia sedona, 210k miles...still rolling...hope it keeps going...
Sounds like a good run
Hyundai gives 10years /100,000 warranty on power train units , something that no other manufacturer gives . So if anything fails before that , Hyundai eats it !
I am on my third Hyundai Accent, Santa Fe, and Elantra. All have been good cars. My newest is a 2019 Elantra gets an average of 37 miles to the gallon. It has been no problems and now has over 100k. If you get it serviced when it is suppose to be serviced and don't drive it like a maniac it will last. My 2009 accent went over 200k before a gravel truck totalled it. I still drive the 2005 Santa Fe, great in the snow. It is comfortable and a solid car.
I think you dont have experience with Hyundai/Kias. They are extremely reliable and durable. Its the best balance between having a European style and Japanese reliability
Hyundai yes, but a Kia? No no no!
I bought a 2024 Hyundai Tucson. So far, I really like it. I'm with you about the engine failures they had in the past few years. I hope they're past those manufacturing problems now. One related topic I think you shouldn't skip is the 5/10 year Hyundai warranty. If my motor blows up in the next four and a half years, at least Hyundai is going to replace it. That's more than you can say about most other manufacturer's warranties which are only three years.
I own and I'm still driving my 2012 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited 3.5L V6 with 235000 with the original engine and transmission and still runs great.
mitsubishi engine i believe
My former spouse had a boxy Wrangler, and every interior panel squeaked loudly. The paint began flaking off the top sides after a couple of years, and the panel gaps were atrocious!
The Wrangler fan-boys are SO loyal to Jeep that they don't care!
Chrysler interior design is done in China and a lot of the exterior design is done in India. Then the Chinese-made parts in them is the cherry on the sundae, err manifold cover. ;-)
@@romanmichaelhamilton8729Chrysler has no connection to India. India does not design anything for Chrysler.

@@romanmichaelhamilton8729 oh, that's new to me.
Disagree on the Hyundai/Kia designation. i can think of at least 4 italian car brands that are far more unreliable. Learnt to drive stick in an Excel. It was fine. Kia Sorrento is a fantastic car as are the Hyundai Palisades. Warranty is great and they don't have major issues. I was surprised to find them featured here.
those italian brands are maserati, alfa romeo, fiat and ferrari
Hey Mark, I love your content. What about Ford for 2022 they had 8.7 million vehicles being recalled for 67 different recall. That's more than hyundia, kia, and Tesla combined. Stellatis and GM also have more recalls than hyundai and kia.
Absolutely Paul, I also shared a video recently with the Ford fiasco.
Ford was a classic case here in Australia the "power Shit" transmission = lemons, police started pulling people over because they thought drivers were drunk, when it was the transmission crapping out...lol
What about Toyota recalls?
2 million RAV4s for fire risk
1 million Highlanders for bumper falling off
1.5 million vehicles for defective fuel pump
1 million hybrids for fire risk
Millions for defective Takata Airbags
Millions for unintended acceleration
1,000's EV for wheels falling off (not a joke)
Although Hyundai/Kia LEAD the pack as far as SELF-IGNITING issues!
I have 2 Hyundia's now and one before no problems. I like the long warranty.
Everybody thinks Hyundai and Kia have resolved their issues. Nope still engine and transmission problems. There are a few that haven't had issues. But why take a chance, especially when Toyota and others are the same price. Why would you choose something problematic?!?
100 percent agreed
Own a 2013 elantra. 250000 miles with no problems. Has a 6 speed manual.
Nice
I have to disagree with you on the KIA Hyundai. I’ve owned 2 Sportage’s and 2 Sorento’s over the last 20 years. No recalls no problems whatsoever. Each one ran over 200,000 miles and still ran and drove like new when I traded them in. In my opinion they are on par with a Toyota.
Driving a 2018 Santa Fe with 80k. No issues at all. Had a 2017 before that and had 50k before having to get trade in the lease. Also no issues at all. I had a Mercedes M class before that and I love my Hyundais way more. Looking at the Genesis next.
I remember test driving a used Grand Cherokee. After starting it up, 3 dash sensors came on. After driving it a little, 2 more dash lights came on. 5 obvious warning signs to not buy it.
Consumer Reports reviews back up your comments. Check their "Worst Cars" list in their auto buying guide.
@@TheOzthewiz thanks, lol.
Chicago by night 😂
Enjoy your straight-to-the-point candor! Good stuff.
Of all the cars I see sitting on the side of the road waiting for tow trucks I don't think even one has been a Hyundai. My wife bought a new Elantra GL in 2014 and my stepson a new Elantra GT the same year, and before the year was up I bought a new Elantra GLS (2015 model) which were all excellent cars for what we paid for them. I dealt up to a new Tucson in 2017 and drove across Canada in 2020 to move to Vancouver where I sold that vehicle in 2021. My stepson is still using his 2014 Elantra which a dealership near Vancouver put a new engine in about a year and a half ago because of some sort of recall, even though the old one was still running perfectly.
Hyundai today is a far better vehicle and company than they were even 15 years ago.
Our 2014 Red Grand Cherokee Jeep SRT running great and love the inside splendor. Do not understand the hate on the Jeep.
Thrilled to see an upload on my day off. Amazing! Thank you so much!
But in the US, Hyundai is selling like hotcakes 😕.
Because most people aren't auto savvy so they see a decent price for a shiny new car that looks like good quality only for it to fall apart.
That's not saying a lot. American consumers rarely look for substance.
@@machinesofgod they stopped making the Pony and the Excel 30 yrs ago..🤣
@@rudfil Yes, but even the new vehicles they make don't last long. Sure, they are more reliable than their older cars, but when they start falling apart around 100k miles when a Toyota or Honda can go 300-400k is not a significant improvement.
Our 07 Elantra is running fantastic with almost 120k. It’s been very dependable.
I can't say anything about the new Jeeps, but my 02 Grand Cherokee has 270,000 miles on it and it is still going. I love my Jeep. I had to break down last year and overhaul my A/C. With that many miles, what did I expect? New compressor, condenser, receiver/dryer, everything except the evaporator. Works like new now. I did all of the work myself. I do have that pesky evaporative fuel leak, and as soon as I figure out how to confuse the computer, that will no longer be a problem. I am 76 years old, and I absolutely REFUSE to buy a new Jeep. I will buy an older Jeep that has NONE of the emission CRAP on it and repair it.
I built a 1923 T Bucket from scratch, and I have no issues with it. I have 17,000 miles on it so far. It is my daily driver in the summer, not so much in the winter. It is just me and the better half, and between us we have 4 licensed vehicles and 3 street legal motorcycles. I can get around.
Thanks so much for your updates. Very informative. Very much appreciate your videos.

YOU SAID IT MAN! THANKS! GREAT STRAIGHT FORWARD INFORMATION. LOVE IT! WITH THE ESCALATING PRICES OF VEHICLES, THIS IS NEEDED!!
Hey there! You should add to the 'don't ever buy any one of these brands' all the cars manufactured by Volkswagen and their affiliate Companies, Porsche, Audi, Seat, Skoka, Cupra, Bentley, Lamborghini... Expensive pieces of motorized metal where quality was left in the drawing board
My friend had a Range Rover and spent over $100,000 to only drive it for five years… top! 😂

Anyway your friend is rich
Range rovers always makes the lists. All over the world reviews. Those who buy them have money so they don't care. Most mechanics rarely buy them.
REALLY, 100 grand? love to see the proof. puffing at its finest!
Great Info , Very educational stuff to watch 👍
I have heard similar comments elsewhere about Hyundai/KIA and Jeep. I am not an expert. However, somehow they sell a heck of a lot of Hyundai/KIA vehicles and, to a lesser extent, Jeep. You'd think the word would get around and kill sales if they were as bad as this video indicates.
They have 100k mile warranties and they're cheaper than the competition. Most people know nothing about cars. They see the warranty and the price and they open their checkbooks. There is no free lunch.
Nobody believes him or Scotty.

Nailed it. Chrysler of any kind scares me to the bone. Chevy has more than its share of stinkers, especially their smaller entries. The cars that my sales guys feared to have me appraise the most were the Dodge Durango, or that superstinker the Chevy Cruz.
Dealer killers if I ever saw them.
Chrysler only has 2-3 cars in its lineup. It's at the brink of failure. Lancia's more at that point with the Ypsilon being the only one left.
The Chevy Cruz is probably a Daiwoo clone of an Opel .

Always good useful information from my friend ❤
Very informative. Thanks for the infos😊
Thanks for the support
Nah, this could be summed up in three words: GM, Ford and Stellantis.
👍 I can' confirm that as I used to buy GM and Ford. I never knew what a good car was until I bought my first Japanese brand.. A new Honda Accord in 2001. I drove it 6 and 1/2 years and never had an issue. It was a great car !!!!
@charlesjackson1700 probably still running

You'll be happy when the Chinese manufacturers have replaced the big 3 and your neighbors have all lost their jobs.
@@pyrexmaniac It's like this....In the 70's and early 80's the big three was building shit, the best thing that happened to them was competition from the Japanese, it forced them to up their game and stop building shit. At least back then the big three was only building shit it wasn't overpriced shit like it is right now. Completion from China is just the boot in the ass they need.
Do you include Genesis with Hyundai as far as reliability issues? 😮😮😮
Love your Channel Mark! Thanks for the great job.
I have to agree with you on these brands 100%. To be honest as of right now in 2023 I do not think I would buy anything other than Toyota/Lexus and then maybe Mazda or Honda. Honda was once a favorite brand, but it is not any longer. I do not trust any other brands right now and GM, Ford, and Stellantis would be down on my least favorite brands. Ford and GM have really gone downhill. I have hope for Stellantis they have made strides and I am really interested in seeing how well the Hurricane engine will be reliability wise and how long they will last. I know Toyota is not perfect no company is, but your odds of getting a bad one are lower than any other brand so when its a roll of the Dice Toyota is my gamble every time:P
100% spot on with Hyundai and kia, combination of cheap prices and customer stupidity makes them popular. Same thing goes for the Genesis brand the manufacturer won't reinvent a vehicle they will do some improvements but basically is the same car. Market the vehicle as a luxury car and raise the price only to find it has same problems.
Totally right. Just can’t fix stupid.
Telluride and Palisidae sell like hot cakes though.
@@Jeez001 and they will tell you because it's the vehicle I could afford , people don't do research b4 buying a vehicle,
They just figure it's new how could it have issues.
@@Jeez001tons of issues have been popping for those lately.
bullshit
You are 💯%. Right agree with your information thanks for all your videos you help a lots fo people have no idea about cars thanks brother
2017 Elantra, bought new. Over 100.000 miles. 0 repairs. 0 issues. Most reliable car ive ever owned. Drives nice, and comfortable.
I couldn’t agree more
My good friend saved for years to buy her new Range Rover HSE in the beginning I did about 75,000 miles sigh it and it was a pleasure to drive especially off road and we towed a large tent trailer with ease but by 30,000 miles we got Al the problems you talked About and even under warranty but local dealer could not fix any of the real problems with it
She had to give up on the variable hight
suspension because the dealer couldn’t fix it
It was very sad but then Choile she had to trade it for something else
Great video Mark my best wishes always from Las Vegas Craig 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The Land Cruiser is the answer to LR. Or better yet...Lexus
Use periods.
@@mikefoehr235here in South Africa we get the land cruisers in diesel What a Wonderful vehicle
@@labourlawact7826 Toyota is the paragon of Engineering and quality. I had a 2013 Tacoma...north American hilux.. and now a 20 Tundra with the 5.7 v8. The 5.7 is absolutely no joke. The power and torque are impressive. The durability of these trucks is outstanding.
@@mikefoehr235 Yeah, we are very lucky that a company like Toyota exists.
every car company have issues, recalls, class action litigation. Ford is number one three years in a row for recalls. This includes the German junk and Japanese are no bargain too. 🇺🇸
I have 150,000 miles on my 2006 Ford Freestar, and there has never been a problem. I did see another Freestar with 640,000 miles, and it was still running.
Newer Hyundais have replaced faulty engines with new ones, that have port and dual injection like Toyota. They also have 8-speed transmissions, which have been reliable also.
Honestly, my family has owned over 25. Hyundai and Kia have never had an engine problem or transmission problem. In fact almost have never brought them back for any recalls. Many of them had over 160,000 miles on them.
Ive had problems with: Hyundai, Kia, and Nissan. My last 2, including current vehicle: Toyota and Mazda. Very happy with these 2, much better quality. Id rather buy a 3 year old Toyota than a new Kia or Hyundai. LOVE Mazda.
A LOT of folks, including me, would agree with you!
2016 Santa Fe just had the block replaced as it failed at 180k kms. To be fair they replaced it no quibble and provided a rental Rav 4. We'll be trading in soon.
My 2015 hyundai sonata was great no trouble with it Got it new
I bought my Hyundai Tucson 2006, never had a problem except I was having problem stopping it on time when braking to stop. I discovered that the problem was the brake pads on the front passenger side was too thin and needs replacement. I did the replacement myself and now I am stopping without fear of crashing.
He’s talking about the older Hyundais with 4 cylinder Theta engines. Haven’t seen any major issues with newer 4 cylinder Hyundai engines. The normally aspirated V6 has been very reliable.
Hyundai/Kia reliability has really taken a dump for LATE model vehicles. The ONE exception is the Telluride/Palisade. These have been VERY reliable (so far), source: Consumer Reports, Aprill '22, Auto BUying Guide.
I remember Scotty also said a long time ago that Hyundai and Kia's are cheap quality, but the cars look nice to see. Range Rover is definitely a range over my budget.
Nobody believes Scotty. He is just a clown that people want to laugh at.
He has been badmouthing Hyundai-Kia for years, still Hyundai-Kia doubled sales in only 20 years!

Many would already know JD power or consumer report. If we check the sources, we will know easily what cars they should buy within their budget. Actually according to this report, many models in Hyundai and Kia are actually very good decision. Reliable, less maintenance and reasonable price. As we know, car model is more important than the brand. Car manufacturers pursued some change and innovation in some models but not always success and quality is not good…
I drive a 2014 Kia Cadenza SXL. 100,000 miles. I do the recommended maintenance and baby it, as it is my daily driver. Other than a brake release issue, zero problems. Im planning on another 100K miles.
This was lame. Hyundais are excellent now, over all. He doesn’t even know the Hyundai CVT now are driven by cable not the rubber bands. He needs to learn facts. Now Range Rover yes, I had 2 and they were very problematic. Jeeps, yeah Just Empty Every Pocket😂
Hyundai is TRASH. cope harder 🫢
My mom had a 2002 Hyundai Santa Fe that got well over 200,000 miles with no problems, only routine maintenance. I've had five Hyundais and not a single major problem with any of them. I currently have a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe Hybrid and it is more stylish and comfortable than the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. It also does not have a CVT, unlike the Honda and Toyota. I will admit that the 6-speed transmission in my vehicle is better than the 8 or 9-speed.
Great video. Thanks. Question: do you walk through these auto lots on Sundays?! I'm betting yes because otherwise they probably would have issues with you especially when you're commentary doesn't bode well for their vehicles. Ever been chased off a lot even on Sundays? I'm betting yes again due to the cameras nowadays. Just curious about these things. )
To each his own . I have my 2017 Hyundai dealer serviced. So maybe many secret recalls? I got a letter from Hyundai that they would cover the short block of the engine for life. All these companies have issues. Hyundai has been taking care of me so far.
This is so strange.. Hyundai and Kia are topsellers here in Europe...I never heard of these catastrophic things concerning them. But then again...95% of the vehicles here manuals.
Yeah indeed. Im also so confused about all these Hyundai/Kia bashing comments or videos since here in Finland Hyundai and Kia are known from their reliability. 🤷♂️
The guy is a hater for no reason, he still lives in the 80"s 90's.
The most recent I heard is you can steal a Hyundai or Kia with a USB cable. Plus electrical fires had them recalled recently too. I test drove a Hyundai Tucson about a year ago and thought it was ok. I ended up going with the Mazda CX-50. I never buy but lease. Seems like Hyundai and Kia are trying to catch up to the pack but never will imo.
I've had many Hyundai's, no issues.
Three Hyundai's have CVT's Accent, Elantra (non N), Venue. Small displacement engines seem to be matched with CVT's to get the most 'performance' out of them. I would say that 'most' Hyundai's have either a traditional auto or a dual clutch available. Anecdotal but so are most RUclips experts opinion.
We have a Hyundai Santa Fe and a Kia Niro EV and both are excellent. No problems at all.
This is why I still drive my 24 year old 4runner with over 200k miles. No real issues.
In 1984, I almost purchased an Excel, thanks to the honest salesman who suggested to buy one with a manual, otherwise I would have issues going up hills, so I walked away, spent a bit more and got a Corolla instead.
Should've gone for a Civic manual, much more fun to drive than a Corolla.
Yeah, in the 80's. That's when Hyundai was selling around 200,000 units a year. Now they sell almost 800,000 units. This is not counting Kia. Hyundai-Kia is now a top notch automaker that has surpassed American Honda and Stellantis to become 4th best-selling automaker in the USA.

@@johntracy72 so boring though...
Parents had two Santa Fes (trading in one for another) and both had a recall to fully replace the engines. They had enough and went to the Highlander. They love Toyota now that they appreciate why they cost a bit more.
1 million Highlanders were recalled because bumpers were falling off. 😂😂😂
2 million RAV4s were recalled because it could catch fire.
What was your point on recalls?
@@CKY1942 I owned the XA30 Rav4 over 10 years. Never had I ever heard of a fire recall for a Rav4. Meanwhile Hyundai and Kia still have recalls for fire hazards from 2016 to modern models. In fact a woman on Hwy 401 was pulled from her car just last week before it went up in total flames. And her Hyundai wasn't on the recall list. Hyundai look nice because they hired an Audi designer but otherwise they're made to the cheapest standards possible. Ask the Kia boys.
Of course you are going to pay MORE for a Toyota, quality does not come cheap!
My 2017 Hyunda Tucsoni is still going at 130,00 km and going with 0 issues. Knock on wood.
My 2015 Hyundai Santa Fe was the best car I ever had until the engine tore itself apart at 119,000. Hyundai replaced the engine and gave me a new Santa Fe loaner for over a month while they waited on parts. It’s still going so far.
Yikes, I purchased a new 23 Elantra last fall and I love it because it only has 13k km lol. The reason I bought for was I have some friends that have or had old Elantras and Tucsons that lasted for years but with normal wear/tear repairs.
I love my 21 Sonata! The new models have been good so far...
Hyundais are great!!
Can't go wrong with 10-year 100,000-mile warranty!

The Hyundai "Excel" of the 80's, replaced by the Hyundai "Accelerant" of the 2010's. You have to love a cheaply made, over priced car that you shouldn't park in your garage due to spontaneous combustion. Land Rover? You do know that 90% of all Land Rovers made are still on the road? Still waiting for a tow truck. And good old American quality Jeep. Made by Stellantis AG, with a hint of that Fiat reliability. What can possibly go wrong?
"Land Rover? You do know that 90% of all Land Rovers made are still on the road?" Yeah. Because the other 10% made it to where they were going.
90% of rovers are in England mechanic Shops🤣🤣🤣
Actually Fiat is a decent brand sold all over world because there’re simple and cheap to run. Fiat builds dozens of different models of cars and trucks and only 2 models were sold in North America in small numbers and idiots in Canada and the US were already complaining before the cars were even sold here.
Right...They are so wonderful that they are no longer imported to the United States due to their lack of sales due to unreliability and over all lack of quality and safety.@@rudfil
@@AvengerAngel... did you ever own one?
We have a 2023 Nexo. Excellent vehicle. Our second Hydrogen car. Driven over 40K miles between the two Hydrogen cars we have owned.
Thats very interesting and possibly the future
Australian here , Jeep has a reputation here for spending more time off road in the service centre than ANY other vehicle. Range Rover not far behind.
Range rover, bmw, chrystler, Jeep, Dodge, Chevy, Renault peogeot, citroen,are wost cars in terms of reliability, i Have had a hyndai sonata 2011 2.4l auto, i am at 358000km its still going, only problems i had is the stater motor
I had a 1989 Hyundai Excel and that was one of the most reliable cars I ever had. I loved the aluminum engine because they could not crack and overheat. Maybe I was just lucky.
Drive a Hyundai Accent. Very reliable so far, however I have heard of problems with the 2.0/ 2.4 engine in bigger models.
I googled which car manufacturers have the highest amount of recalls.
Kia was the third highest,
Hyundai wasn't in the top 10.
The list which was released a few days ago is for 2023 in the US:
1) Honda
2) Ford
3) Kia
4) Chrysler
5) general Motors
6) Nissan
7) Mercedes
8) VW
9) BMW
10) Daimler Trucks North America
Kia and Hyundai are junk but I would still own a Honda much sooner than ever buy those other units
I just traded my 2018 Santa Fe sport in a little over a month ago. 2.4 gdi quite similar to the red one shown in this video.
I wanted to give hyundai a chance. I bought it used with 50k miles and i put 50k on it
Prior to trading it in i was putting about a quart of oil a week in it.
It served ok for 50 k miles but i dont want to deal with headaches when it eventually blows a motor. It didn't like starting in cold weather. Sometimes sporadically it didn't want to start at all.
Clunky transmission at low speeds and downshifting.
Just my experience with the car
Sorry for your bad Hyundai experience ,but used? You are always rolling the Dice. I know people who never change oil, never check tires ,never open the owners manual then dump the car when warranty expires. We use Mobil 1 ,check oil and tires and air cleaners constantly. I cannot afford not too. Best wishes.
With some of the updates Kia and Hyundai have done. I would take a Korean vehicle over Jeep. Mostly because of the long warranty and lower prices on select models.
Both horrible. But jeep is probably still worse. Hyundai is more on par with GM products. People either hate or love them. And interiors are super cheap feeling.
👍I agree that Kia and Hyundai are on the same line as GM . They are a risk...
Hyundai-Kia is twice as reliable as Jeep, Toyota, VW. Hyundai-Kia's warranty is twice as long as Jeep, Toyota, VW's.
Warranty coverage:
Hyundai-Kia 10-year 👍
Land Rover 4-year 😢
Jeep/Toyota 5-year 😂
@@CKY1942 warranty means nothing. They give you a long one if they expect their cars to be crap so they're less likely to be sued and have more incentive to replace their vehicles that are most definitely going to break. Toyotas don't break and are way better built 95% of the time. VW and GM are on par with Hyundai quality control.
@@CKY1942 and land rover and jeep are both owned by stellantis tata. garbage companies that also house jaguar and the rest of Chryslers line up .
Still no snow in Edmonton?
I thought these junky Hyundais and Kias would be barried by now
I own a second hand hyundai accent diesel for 3 years now, driven daily short and long trips and never had any issue.
I agree with you on these brands. It's such a shame that Jeeps are that bad though, that one hurts. I LOVE the Wrangler!
I agree, they are cool units, but now many issues and grossly overpriced
