It’s funny, when you think luxury you expect quality, class and sophistication and luxury brands spend millions of dollars on marketing, attempting, and unfortunately succeeding in fooling many consumers that their products are actually worth the inflated price tags, but as you’re about to see, many of these premium products, are just not worthy of the asking price.
---
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 got my better half a alfa stelvio ti sport and it was flawless and kept it as a lease for three years. One of the most reliable cars Ive owned over 45 years of new cars. The alfa in my experience doesnt belong on this list.
A few ideas for future videos if you run out of ideas.
1. Most indestructible and flimsy cars on Australian roads.
2. Most molested or overmodded cars
3. Best accessories to help fuel consumption and the worst for chewing more juice.
4. Best and worst cars for project cars for beginners on a budget.
5. Design features from old cars that should be brought back and new features that should be chucked into the scrap bin.
Awesome ideas!!! - AK
@@ReDriven got plenty more if you need them lol
Redo this but without range rover
@@WholesaleTurbos that would include all the German brands, and to some extent, Volvo.
First car channel ive found and watched all the videos. Im in Australia so this is really relevant content and i love it. Keep up the good work.
Ah thanks so so much! That's bloody lovely to hear. We'll do our best! - AK
Loving these videos!! It's great to see the amount of subscribers growing every time I check your channel.
Thanks so much! - AK
Was kinda expecting to see the jag f-pace on here aswell since its basically a range rover
Top shelf video once again Redriven team, well done! Best Car guys on youtube IMO
Oh mate thank you so so much!!! - AK
These kinda videos showcase the need to identify , name and avoid certain brands who are clearly selling on marketing alone.
Mate, seriously thank you! - AK
Absolutely love this channel. What the automotive RUclips industry needed.
Blake, mate, thanks so so much. - AK
Agree totally. I had my RR Evoke back to the dealers 12 times for - what they suggested were solutions via software resets. Doors opening on the highway at 100kms per hr was the living end!
Excellent content refreshing to see a Aussie presenting auto review instead of the poms, Irish, and Americans. Mate don't expect a Xmas hamper or card from Land rover Aus after that scathing report.
Hahahaha mate one of the things we love most about doing ReDriven is not having to worry what the manufacturers think. Also, thank you so so much for the compliment, we appreciate more than you know. - AK
Issues with Alfa Romeo , are not even close to be bad and be on the list - especially when people complain about gearbox in Alfa that is exactly the same as in BMW and they praise same gearbox there. If a car has a more sportier setup like Stevlio , cv joint will fail- and that is always the case. Only issue is where u have manufacturer that doesn't want to sell just the CV joint but the whole assembly which makes it much more cheaper - as i have driven a lot of performance cars for years I'm yet to see one that hasn't failed , however You can buy separate part on Alfa Romeo easy , BMW, OPEL OPC version for instance You can't.
Mate, you should have done a top ten as, sadly, we all knew beforehand that Landrover was going to own this top 5
How do you have under 10k subs? Keep up the great work.
Oh mate thanks so much! - AK
Where's the Jeep's on this list :) great video as always team.
Perseven will now be permanently replacing "percent" as a unit of measurement.
Example sentence: "I am 77 Perseven sure."
Would love to hear your opinion on the current used car market in Australia. Prices are incredibly inflated due to COVID at the moment, so any advice would be fantastic.
Ah that's such a tough one. Used car markets globally are going through this incredible time and the pricing we're all seeing for certain cars is just incredible.
Like any bubble, it will burst however, we think certain for certain cars, this will be their new starting point in terms of price. For example, we can't imagine the likes of Hyundai Tucson and Nissan Xtrail prices to continue at these lofty levels as the world (hopefully) returns to normal but special and unique vehicles like mint condition low kilometre GC8 WRX's, Honda Integra Type R, Nissan S15 200SX and the range of Japanese performance cars form the 90's and 00's we expect will continue to climb in value.
As far as advice, it really depends on what you're looking at. In some circumstances, dive in ASAP as some future classics are still (just) affordable but for other cars, we'd possibly hold off if you can.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting too. - AK
There's only one moderately reliable recent Land Rover and that's the Freelander 2. It's still got the odd niggle, but because it was designed as (the last) affordable entry level Land Rover, it's pretty cheap to fix. They're seriously good off-road so it's the one Land Rover whose issues don't outweight the benefits. I really love mine.
Still got the odd WHAT
@@dinelkap niggle
/ˈnɪɡl/
verb
cause slight but persistent annoyance, discomfort, or anxiety.
It's moderately reliable because it was developed using a mix of Ford and Volvo parts, under Ford ownership. If LR was left to do all the R&D themselves it may have been much worse.
@@damilolaakanni Yep
Great list. Some absolute keech there
i find it interesting as an owner of a 2012 range rover evoque, as I have owned the car since new and have had only one minor issue in one of the speakers in the otherwise brilliant Soundsystem failing. by simply servicing the car at the correct intervals It has been a dependable car used for towing, lots of offroading and plenty of road trips. my evoque is coming up on 300,000 km, but something makes me think, i might be in for an expensive repair bill soon XD
My mate has 2 3rd gen Range Rovers one has transmission issue and the other one is low riding.
I kept a 2013 evoque, 220000km. Nothing went wrong in the past 5 years apart from a split intercooler pipe, should I be concerned?
I’m delighted (and somewhat surprised) that Volvo is not here.
It was a close call mate. - AK
Only surprise was no Jeeps, but I guess none of their range really fits the Luxury SUV tag.
Exactly Dave. - AK
The Stelvio for me is a heart over brain choice
Totally, which is wonderful until you're stranded in the rain. - AK
I used to own a Range Rover. I can't show you any photos of it because for mental health reasons I destroyed them.
It had two superlative attributes;
* It was absolutely magic to drive and had brilliant 4wd capabilities - when it was actually able to be driven.
* It had amazing tax deductibility qualities which even surpassed property negative gearing on occasions.
Not long ago I was offered one for virtually nothing. However after talking to the unfortunate individual who had suffered as I did I realised that my RR depression symptoms would soon return if I stayed in its presence too long.
They are made for billionaires and true gamblers.
Such a shame that they are also the most beautiful SUVs
British manufacturers have never built a reliable/durable vehicle.
Their vehicles weak spot has historically been electrical issues and as vehicles are loaded with more and more sophisticated electronics they become even less reliable...
I would put it out there their problem has always been engines, hardly a good english motor has been built in 100 years, maybe some rolls royce engines. Now land rover are making their own they are stuffed.
Hey could u do a review on a maserati ghinli, quattro or a grand tourismo?
Mate we'll try. They are pretty rare here and trying to find one that an owner will lend for us to review could be a challenge but we'll do our best for you. - AK
Review the CLS 63 AMG from 2012 and up 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Awesome idea and we'll start trying to track one down to review. - AK
Thanks great information.
Can you imagine if Jeep and say Landrover for example got their act together and made rock solid great vehicles and treated their consumers like people.
They would smash sales and be at the very top of the tree.
How hard can it be? Makes me wonder.
Range Rover- totally agree. I had head gasket and air suspension issues among several other problems.
So frustrating - AK
sir, can you do a used car video on 2016 e89 BMW Z4 sdrive35iS?
Awesome request. We'll try to find one to review mate. - AK
@@ReDriven thank you sir.
@1:54 for Stelvio owners that haven't had any problem... the key word is "yet". I went from saying "I've never owned an Italian vehicle... yet" to learning how to say "I haven't had any issues with my AR Guilia QV... yet." Then last week, fuel in the oil pan. At 25k miles. And now I've learned to say "I won't buy an AR... again."
Edit: ok, looks like I should have just stuck around for 60 seconds, when you said the same thing about Disco's. My bad. But GMTA? 🤷♂
I take my daughters merc to a land rover and merc authorised repair centre .
He said stay away from range rover and range rover sports , but didn't say the same about jaguar products ?
Surprise the ranger never made the list
Aye! I'm a RR fan boy!
Where are you finding Range Rover velars for under $50k????? Good channel but seriously I am yet to see one of the videos where the cars match the price point of the video.
Dang, you’re going to do Steve like that?
We still feel dirty about it. - AK
Good vid bro........i can vouch for the velar being a piece of sh#t...guy at work bought one new.....was back at dealer so much got rid of it after like 18 months.
My goodness 🙆🙆
Sounds like a horror movie
I love how it looks but the owner experience of most people has been anything but good
Thanks so much mate. - AK
In my country, even a 2008 range rover still costs around AUD60K
Have to say that it's sad that it is like this with this brand, because not many cars are more beautiful than the Range Rover's
It's such a shame mate. - AK
5 out of 6 from JLR...... Wow......
Never had a problem with my 2018 RRS
You must be great spot for talent.
You're extremely fortunate mate. - AK
Give it a few years.
@@gtlegacy8 700Nm drives like a dream
yet...
Just don’t go for the luxury brand, they are for the 1% of population who do not care on price tag. Car manufacturers are such evil that they marketing such low quality car for general public.
my cousin bought a brand new land rover, the things he whent trough to keep his working. i did not know how unreliable land rovers could be. he will never buy one again i can assure you.
cannotafford a range rover nor a land rover and this video made me fool good. Their designs are top notch though
So, you gave the Alfa Giulia a thumbs up - albeit only if it has a 100% FSH - but it’s a ‘no’ for the mechanically identical Stelvio. Huh??
Was it reliable when it was english owned?
Still very questionable mate. - AK
Got it, avoid calling your dog Rover.
So...that's the entire Range Rover lineup.🤔
Loved the conclusion here: if you think you're buying English class & sophistication, this brand has been tossed around more than the mercury of a leaking thermometer in 8th grade science class; you still have the same crappy electrics Lucas produced 40+ years ago... but now New & Improved with 4000% more electrics.😁👍
So any car/brand that is worth aspiring for are just crap second hand??...lovely!
Do I see a pattern forming 🙈
Such a shame. - AK
Damn are land rover products really that bad😂😂😂😂 sexy looking things thou and i was legit looking at the Discovery sport... But then again it goes back to the old saying "looks are not eveything"
It's funny because I constantly hear about how unreliable they are but then again they are so desirable.... A case of trust your heart but use your head 😂😂
It's such a massive shame Mulalo. - AK
Nooooooooo . Range Rover and dicos are beautiful . But too much tech in hot climate is dangerous.
4 out of 5 worst cars are Range Rovers? :D wtf
I’ve owned two Landrover’s and it’s a bit like owning an Alfa Romeo. You know it’s going to end badly but they are so seductive. Anyway, I’m reformed. I’m surprised the Jeep Grand Cherokee is not number 1
So incredibly well put mate. No Jeep in the list as here in Australia they're not really regarded as a "luxury" SUV.
The problem with the latest land rovers are when they break they can't be fixed, sometimes they don't even know what's wrong. They always broke things but didn't always break down completely and was nothing a trip to specialist couldn't fix
Nothing better than looking gorgeous on the side of the road :)
Alfa Romeo is one of the rare cars/suvs who’s don’t have problems like people says!
I've not heard anything about Alfa Romeo's reliability, but they're beautiful cars. However, the new ones have many parts from FCA's parts bin. I get that it's to save costs on production, but when the brand/company you're borrowing parts from isn't really known for quality...😬
A few minutes reading through customer satisfaction reports may change your opinion sorry mate. - AK
The video should have been called why not to buy anything made my land rover or range rover because they are rolling piles of sh!t. I live in Aust and a mate from the UK that is a mechanic and auto elec by trade has a shop specialising in European made cars.....he deals with alot of range rovers and alot of mercs and bmws because they are notoriously unreliable....he earns very good money for doing so mind u
Make a video about Kia/Hyundai G4NA engine. 1.2M recalls...
Shall do. - AK
The difference mate is Kia/Hyundai recalled their engines. That means cost free fix at whatever age/mileage. LR Australia will send you a bill for $50k for a new engine despite having known issues. Defender couldn't be sold in US because their lemon laws would've bankrupted LR.
@@bazza2540 I believe recalls only for US/Canada. AU customers are on their own ...
Unfortunately the rotten record of these vehicles is almost matched by the execrable reliability of other "elite" brands such as audi and MB especially as they age. Maserati ferrari jaguar and porsche are apparently also unreliable especially as they age. Not like your 40000 km Lexus. So likely none of them are a good second hand buy. Also find many examples of these companies not honouring their own warranties.
Why do people buy Land Rovers anyway?
Poor Stelvio to be put amongst all those Land Rovers.
It's very upsetting. - AK
What, no jeep.
Not really a "luxury" SUV mate. - AK
No jaguar on the list ?
To be honest mate, there were so many contenders for this list (and the Jag was way up there) but these results were what our large group of experts decided on. - AK
I don't get why he censors the thumbnail its not porn lol
You are kidding if you think you can buy any of those cars under 50k unless they have 300k km on them - all cars with that many kms would have problems
Hi Phil, thanks so much for watching and commenting. We made sure all these vehicles are available for $50k and under on the used market. The Velar is challenge to find but we've seen them pop up at various auctions for under $50k. - AK
Unfortunately I fell for the ‘British’ bulldog, tut tut, say no more hype and bought one. Big mistake. Transmission failure, oil leaks, crap plastics, electrical problems. Traded it and will never go back.
For those commenters stating their respective cars, as discussed in this video, are reliable, the facts state otherwise. The world doesn't just revolve around your personal experiences.
Range rover are JUNK
Wait... LOL 5 out of 5 (or 6?) of Worst SUVs are Range Rovers? That's deserved, but can you make a list (except Range Rovers)? If something is pile of utter expensive shit, I think it can be in a league of it's own. Range Rover buyers are just gamblers and love high-risk plays, that's all.
Great call mate and yes! - AK
You're right! It's real shit 💩💩💩😝😝😝
As much as I would love to take this advice, because it's legit and makes sense. I'll still love Land Rover Range Rovers.
Mate, that's one of the challenges of life in terms of Land/Range Rovers. I still see them and become weak at the knees but my mind is still winning against my heart.....for now! - AK
GLC is the most reliable not only in its segment but overall according to the well respected German ADAC
Wonder how this would relate to our rubbish conditions here in Australia? Soon as we can find a GLC with loads of kilometres and a few years on it, we'll hopefully find out.
But mate, thanks so much for watching and commenting. - AK
I have one and it's not been completely trouble free but everything was easily fixed and we were well looked after by MB. In stark contrast to VW and LR dealers
TL;DR - Range Rovers are shite.
I’d rather be seen in a stelvio than a Lexus
Even if it's broken down on the side of the road? - AK
@@ReDriven even if it is broken down on the side of the road haha
I'm a second owner of a 2010 range rover sport with now 150k KMs on the clock neither the old owner or I have ever had any problems (which can be said for a lot of rover owners) besides from usual wear and tear such as control arm bushes (which is due to the car weighing close to 2700kg) and just normal services. Most people that say rovers are bad have never had one for themselves or they claim there mates or friends uncles sisters brothers friend had one and it was a nightmare, I call bullshit. Aslong as ya look after them they will be ok, service every 10k KMs. Basically preventative maintenance is a big key to having a happy experience when owning a Landrover product. Another thing most mechanics aren't prepared to work on landrovers or alot of euro cars (BMW, Audi, etc) which isn't there fault but it anoys me that they say they are bad and shit just because they struggle to fix them. If you speak to a Landrover specialist which obviously specialise in rovers you won't hear half the things you do from other mechanics. 🙂
Not only that but again when you say you spoke to mechanics I doubt they specialise in any of these vehicles (which proves my point) but hey correct me if I'm wrong 🙂
Look I'd happy to be wrong to a degree BC it just means I'm one of the lucky ones, either way this was a good vid🙂 it just annoys me that people hold such harsh views on a company that is shit on by many people constantly and for what.. having problems even though they are the ones advancing the car industry along side many other euro brands.
@@liamburton4329 Hi Liam. Thanks so much for watching and taking the time out to write your comments, we do really appreciate it.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but 4 of the technicians we spoke to work exclusively for Land Rover/Jaguar. I'm not at liberty to share where in Australia they work and they are hardly going to "go public" with their statements but all have some truly disastrous stories to tell regarding the lack of quality and longevity across the JLR range. All 4 made it very clear they would never buy or recommend a Land Rover/Jaguar product even though they work on them everyday.
We completely agree with you that many owners adore their Land Rover product and have had little to no issues, the Discovery 4 that we reviewed recently is a great example of that, that owner has had a faultless journey, however, it is the inconsistencies across vehicles that seem to be the issue.
We spent many hours going through various consumer and reliability reports and for every owner that raves about their Land Rover, there are three that have had a nightmare of a time.
When you look at similar reports regarding Lexus/Toyota or even Mazda, Subaru, Hyundai and Kia, the vast majority of reports and educated opinions from technicians and specialists show glowing reviews.
Where we struggle is (especially in Australia) the inflated pricing and horrendous depreciation of Land Rover product. How is it these "luxury" vehicles are built with such inconsistencies when an equivalent Lexus seems to show bulletproof reliability across the range? And at what point, no matter how beautiful and how well marketed a car is, do we as consumers just call bullshit?
There is no denying Land Rover product are gorgeous and when working at 100%, are incredible, it's just that working at 100% for many owners is sometimes 50% of the time. - AK
Mate I had two and they were good until they were a piece of shit. It's not bull. And I've not met a LR mechanic who doesn't say they are a money pit. It's not every single car that is going to fall apart, Toyota have defects too just their rate is like 5% across all models. LR are normally fighting it out with Jeep at the bottom, many model's defects are 45% - Source JD power
How to fix Land Rover/Jaguar reliability....Build them in the north east UK or any other country except S.A. West Midlands UK mentality seems to be stuck in the socialist 1970's....do the crappiest job you can get away with and go on strike at the smallest excuse.
Please put tags in the videos to we can skip sections
Great idea mate, we'll do that next time - AK
You can’t get a used Range Rover Velar for under AU$50k. The cheapest is over AU$70k for 2017 model
Auctions mate, plenty of them pop up for around $50k. Prior to the current climate, we've seen them go for as low as $40k. - AK
