@@CB-vg1wqYou're welcome. It was not on my list either, but is important since I live in Florida. My two main checkboxes were that the engine had to have both valve injection and gdi (direct injection). If I could have found a motor without that terrible gdi, I would have likely bought one. 2nd nogo was a cvt transmission. I realize some cvt's may be getting more reliable these days, but I didn't want one. I got a standard 8 speed gear tranny. Something else to at least be aware of is that stupid feature that turns the motor off when you come to a stop. I don't buy into the argument that the battery and starter are made more heavy duty to handle all the additional starts and stops. We bought a 2024 Hyundai Tucson 2.4 motor; no turbo, and no awd. Only thing we didn't like was that the automatic engine shutoff at stops was enabled every startup. So you can shut it off, but you have to hit that darn button every time you start the motor. I ended up buying a korean interface board that turned it off unless I hit the button to turn it on. I mounted it under the center console. Maybe that's not a big deal to some, but wish we had known that it was not a feature that could be disabled even after restart. Good luck with your hunt.
Subaru is owned by Toyota (partially) Subaru should dump the Boxer engines and Lineartronic Transmission and use Toyota engine and if they insist on a CVT use the Aisen CVT with the starter gear. Subaru is disingenuous with their boxer engines, they don't use a Head gasket anymore but this silicone stuff that they pump like caulking. Yet if the head leaks they repair it with a proper head gasket. Why just not put them in from the start? Boxer engines have had gasket problems and oil consumption issues fro many years.

The Crosstrek Subaru accelerates as quickly as the previous version of the Toyota Prius. But, the Prius got great fuel mileage, and was very reliable....not Subaru.
What decade are you living in? Hybrids rarely cost much more than a ICE vehicle these days... maybe $1,000 more give or take and you MORE than make up for that price difference at the gas pump with a Hybrid (and usually the Hybrid also has more HP than the ICE), and save on maintenance... when you factor in everything, you'd kinda have to be an idiot to want an ICE over a Hybrid in 2024.
@truth959 yes really, dealership difference was barely 1,000... I know because I actually bought a 2023 hybrid. Maybe you should stick to things you understand... current vehicles isn't your strong point.
If fuel economy and operating cost matter at all, every one of these with an EV and a category should have been bumped off the list. Prius Prime is cute and has big expensive wheels but only gets a max of 44 miles at $34,000 and up, Chevy bolt was $30k or less.

I have the 2.0 Crosstrek. Accelerates fine, but I do have the manual (no longer available). I'll probably get another but will go for the 2.5 next time.
I find it interesting that Subarus, with the boxer engine and CVT transmissions, are almost perfect when there have been reliability issues with both the engine and transmission. These so called consumer reports are not genuine and are not to be taken seriously. However, I would love to have a RAV4 Prime if only I could afford one.
Not sure about the CVT (I have a manual). But I think the Engine issues are on older cars (10 year ago). My last one (Imprezza) did 200K and I'm at 136K on my present one (Crosstrek). No problems with either.
I saw a Chinese car show. These cars are simply funny crap compared to Chinese models, which are twice more powerful, equipped and better quality and 50% cheaper.
Form a queu behind Tesla, their 3 is the standard that every car maker wishes to achieve. The petrol heads still think they can survive, so did the dinosaur!!
lol So the Crosstrek has a very weak engine, and the fuel economy is only in the 20's? 28/29 mpg is poor especially when a carciscalso slow and under powered. That's absolutely terrible. And I've ridden in a Peuis. That CVT is horrendous. That nonstop moaning and groaning is ridiculous. I can't believe people put up with that crap. Unless they just know any better.
Any and all cars that come with CVT transmissions are JUNK. Therefore... ALL Subaru's are junk (except the WRX which still has "real" transmissions). No CVT should ever be on a "GOOD" list.
@TOURMANBOB lol... you've been living under a rock then... its not bullshit when there was a massive series of recalls and class action lawsuits over the Theta II Engine. If you'd bother to spend 3 seconds doing a Google search on it, you'd find out just how in the dark you are on the matter. I'm not a blind brand fanboi of any manufacturer. I have swapped manufacturers my entire life... I do research and search for the best deals. The Theta II Engine mess was HUGE 10 years ago... as Hyundai and Kia share technology the Theta II ended up in a lot of vehicles and was something to be avoided. To this day many vehicles with that Engine still have issues. Having said that Hyundai and Kia have come a long way since then and I actually own a 2023 Tucson Hybrid... but I'm not a blind fanboi... I wouldn't touch a car with a Theta II Engine with a 20 foot pole.

These so called consumer reports are not genuine and are not to be taken seriously. However, I would love to have a RAV4 Prime if only I could afford one.
Where I live finding a RAVA4 is very hard. I may have to wait months.
Not sure about the CVT (I have a manual). But I think the Engine issues are on older cars (10 year ago). My last one (Imprezza) did 200K and I'm at 136K on my present one (Crosstrek). No problems with either.
I've had zero issues with my '22 Crosstrek, though I really don't like the CVT. Great little car!!!
I saw a Chinese car show. These cars are simply funny crap compared to Chinese models, which are twice more powerful, equipped and better quality and 50% cheaper.
I dont believe consumer Reports test any of these car
Only ICE cars? BEV's are in many ways superior and certainly more reliable.
Bring back manual transmission cars. I will never own a vehicle with a CVT transmission.
Madza 3 premium has manual😊
Even Mazda 3 automatic does not have a CVT TRANSMISSION
Form a queu behind Tesla, their 3 is the standard that every car maker wishes to achieve. The petrol heads still think they can survive, so did the dinosaur!!
Is the narrator an AI voice with a hybrid British-Australian accent?
What happened to TESLA ?
They need some updates to their lineup. Dont see it happening though.
Garbage🤣🤣🤣
I would never buy an ACE car in 2024.
That's the old model Camry - irrelevant.
lol So the Crosstrek has a very weak engine, and the fuel economy is only in the 20's? 28/29 mpg is poor especially when a carciscalso slow and under powered. That's absolutely terrible. And I've ridden in a Peuis. That CVT is horrendous. That nonstop moaning and groaning is ridiculous. I can't believe people put up with that crap. Unless they just know any better.
Any and all cars that come with CVT transmissions are JUNK. Therefore... ALL Subaru's are junk (except the WRX which still has "real" transmissions). No CVT should ever be on a "GOOD" list.
The flat 4 motor also has it's share of problems.
Agreed.
💯💯💯💯💯
Toyota ecvt......brilliant and fuel efficient
What is your rationale for saying this?
This video is good but outdated.
No EVs?
❤❤❤
6 out of 7 cars are japanese!
all just opinion… your opinion may vary
None of them are electric... How it will be perfect? Loud motor 😂
Kia Niro hybrid is missing. Best car I've ever owned and like the last 13 Kia's i've owned, never a problem of any kind
13 KIA's in a row? How did you avoid the Theta II engine fiasco?
@@wolfshanze5980 No idea...never heard of anyone having any major problems with the Kia line...more internet BS maybe?
@TOURMANBOB lol... you've been living under a rock then... its not bullshit when there was a massive series of recalls and class action lawsuits over the Theta II Engine.
If you'd bother to spend 3 seconds doing a Google search on it, you'd find out just how in the dark you are on the matter.
I'm not a blind brand fanboi of any manufacturer. I have swapped manufacturers my entire life... I do research and search for the best deals.
The Theta II Engine mess was HUGE 10 years ago... as Hyundai and Kia share technology the Theta II ended up in a lot of vehicles and was something to be avoided. To this day many vehicles with that Engine still have issues.
Having said that Hyundai and Kia have come a long way since then and I actually own a 2023 Tucson Hybrid... but I'm not a blind fanboi... I wouldn't touch a car with a Theta II Engine with a 20 foot pole.
@@wolfshanze5980 Point made. Seems there were problems but none of that affected any of my vehicles, so I will continue to buy Kia vehicles. I simply go on results that affect me ....
There is not a single Subaru on the top 50 selling cars in the world but somehow they occupied two spots on this list.
More than 100 years making cars and no european cars and only one american car on the list... 🤷
Stealership markups
CR is a joke, I have seen BMWs on their list before.
Pretty much nothing more then a Japan/Korea sales pitch. 2nd car in has no mention of the hideous CVT auto transmission, slow, noisey, unforgettable!
Who cares I dont like any of those cars
Subaru has crap head gaskets.
Living in the past bro.
All these cars did terrible in sales.
