- Опубликовано: 26 сен 2024
- Car reliability is one of the most important components of owning a used car. If you buy car lot crap, then you're going to pay for it with your hard earned cash. So today I'm doing a car lot blitz to rate used car reliability and to review used cars. You'll find lots of Lexus cars, as they're some of the most reliable cars you can get today on the used car market!
Enjoy!

Bought my ES 350 at 95K miles and it's run like a champ. 17 years old and still a great car that I will not get rid of anytime soon.
If they keep going, it’s worth its weight in gold as a little basic maintenance is cheap on those but they almost never fail in a big way like a Ford or a Chevy would
I'm looking for one for my son who is 17 by Christmas. What year you have?
Let me buy it
Yeah baabyyyy 👍🏼 your smart 🤓
To summarize, stick with a Toyota product. Boring you say? Not as boring as sitting in the repair shop waiting room anticipating that high repair bill for your German turd box.
That’s pretty accurate
Yeah i had a 2008 corolla that was a beast in reliability. I should've kept the car. But i didn't unfortunately. Regret it to this day as i traded in for a 16 rogue. It was fine but lack any form of refinement and the corolla. All it needed was new wheel bearings and brakes. And it would drive like new again. This was years in Ontario winters. I rectified my mistake by getting rid of the rogue and getting a 2020 rx350. And im keeping that for as long as possible.
Things are changing in Toyota.
@tyronmegawatts6580 Yeah, their shift to the turbo engine from na engines. Its a shame. Yeah, turbochargin doesn't inspire confidence.
The Honda accord all the way
Once you lose the desire for high performance a turbo option is no longer needed along with turbo problems. Same goes for a CVT, pay a bit more in fuel costs and buy a conventional proven geared transmission. Remember the more complicated a vehicle is so are the costs of repair. Replacing a screen on the dash is ultra expensive. Sadly car makers no longer make basic vehicles as they lack profit. Buying used is the way to go in most cases.
I still drive my 2000 Honda Accord to work everyday! Work horse! Bought it back in 2002 now I have 306k! My buddies back home can't believe I still have my Honda!
The 4 rings of Despair comment made me laugh out loud!!!
Haha
Yup, Mazdas Are Clearly Holding Their Own, Ranked Very High In The Reliability Category. My Sister Luvs Her Mazda CX 5 ! The L' In Lexus Stands For Customer "Loyalty". Great Review, Mark ! 😉👌💯
That “catastrophic BOOM!!!” 3:39 always gets me man💀😂
Haha, I hear ya. Have a great weekend.
Boom!! I always watch it 2-3 times 😷🤣😂
my thoughts exactly, haha i freaking ducked ! 😅
Why can't the 'non-boring' car get their reliability right like Toyota?
Good question, for which the other automakers can't answer honestly
If taken care of yeah
Planned obsolescence by the manufacturers
The new turbo cars are very reliable. He's reviewing old turbos to have content. Pay attention...BMW ranked 3rd in 2023 for reliability and Toyota performance car even used thier parts but he doesn't mention non none of the above.
@@trueyork9290 no such thing as a reliable turbo car
in 2019 i bought a 2013 ES350 and kept it for 2 years. not one issue. sold it to buy my current 2002 ES300. getting closer to retirement and wanted to lose that car note. i would say that gen ES350 is a 5 out 5 stars
Yes those vehicles just go and go and go
I love the Lexus LC500 but they are expensive out of the showroom, but they would be fun and great to drive if you can afford the MSRP
I was planning on trading in my 2009 Pontiac Vibe GT with 160k miles until I saw one listed for sale with 322,553 miles for 4k Lol
I won't buy any new car till all that CVT hybrid EV crap stops. Crazy prices too prevent me from replacing my trustworthy cars I already have
Same here, no matter which brand, they are uninspiring and buzzy but in the case of some like Nissan, Infinite or even Honda it is not robust so things tend to fail prematurely
Mark I just love your reviews , keep up the good work !
I appreciate that!
I bought a 2013 Toyota Rav 4 and it is the best SUV, i ever owned, my wife still drives it today, and it is as strong today as it was in 2013, i bought a camper and had to get a truck to pull it, but am back in the market now for an SUV, and Toyota will be where i am looking.
I love your style and crackerjack videos. As a South African, 78, I am still amazed at the snow and ice. I have never ever seen snow!! Great videos . Thanks.
The ES350 is my next and last Sedan... my GX460 needs company...😅😅😅😅😅
True workhorse vehicles especially the V6 engines
Believe me or not...my 2017 Acura MDX has only 110,000 miles and the tranny just crapped out on me. I was driving fine then BOOM.. AL of a sudden dash Lite up like a Christmas 🎄 tree and the car stopped on the highway exit ramp. Couldn't even push it out the way because the electronic shift wouldn't allow me to select any gear...why o why did I choose Acura mdx over the Lexus rx.😢
Generally a reliable vehicle but there have been some transmission issues in some years
Toyotas got their problems also try replacing your bearings
I don’t think I will ever buy a new car, lease yes, as I cant seem to find one worthy enough to actually buy.
That’s a fair statement even the traditionally reliable brands are challenging that with some big drivetrain challenges
Mazda6 2005 / 2007 : Scion TC 2010 : Hyundai Tiburon 2010 : Acura TSX 2007 / 2008 : Toyota Camry 2005 / 2006 [=
Good video sounds Japanese is way to go-Lexus owner.
For reliability
I had a 2023 Jeep rental with 23k miles on it the suspension is terrible. Jeep shakes like it's about to fall apart. If you buy you one you'll definitely have to upgrade the suspension
Fantastic knowledge thank you from New Zealand
The older Ford trucks were much more reliable than today but I would rather have a Toyota
He’s pointing to like a 2021 F150. They have all had dual injection for years, so the carbon buildup comment is false unless we are taking 2016 or older
@ECPP thanks for the reply. Yes my weekend is going great. Hope you have a good one too🎹🎶
Thank you
Love your sense of humour mate. That ranking of the Subaru below the BMW ... pure comedic genius!
Thanks for this, Mark! Looking forward to this! 0:43
Good morning Michael, thanks so much, have a great day and I appreciate you visiting
So many Lexus models. I laugh when people tell me Lexus and Toyota make less horsepower than the competition. I would rather spend time driving than at the repair shop. We will see how Toyota does with turbo engines.
For sure Mike, time will tell on these new engines, and there seems to be some significant recalls already with wheels, wastegates, etc. with that said, Toyota rarely wastes time getting to resolving an issue and, unlike. Some of their German competition, major issues, rarely become chronic.
@@ECPP TFL purchased a new TACOMA. The front drive system failed at 5 000 miles. Waiting to see what broke. Will be a warranty issue.
Bet you cant wait till spring, Mark. Your videos and info is top notch. Be well...Almost forgot, the LC 500 is my dream car. Didnt realize there was a hybrid? Not practical but really hot.
That's a very nice Mazda but it needs a bath . Lincoln should have kept the 4.6 V8
Hi! A BMW 3 series of the G20 generation is a smart purchase.
Well-finished and mechanically reliable vehicles. In addition, they maintain a good sales value.
Best regards Mark
Thank YOU for another GREAT Vid with lots of funny stuff... and BOOM !
Great video, very interesting and informative 😊
Cheers
Great great great effort! Thank you.
Thank you so much
Another great video Mark! 👍
Great video 👍👍👍👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️
You are very very accurate with these ratings and recommendations. You hit the nail on all the reliability issues and problems. You highlighted the 3.5 litre V6 from Toyota-Lexus is an absolute gem on all their line up. The rating of Toyotas of 4 stars and 4.5 stars are so accurate. Yes, jury still out on Turbo 4 cylinder engines…Toyota is the only brand that can save the reputation on Turbo engines.
Honda, Subaru, Ford and GM absolutely made a disaster out of the Turbo engines….absolutely garbage.
I wish and pray that all automotive journalists are as honest as you. Most of them are sold out to corrupt AJAC in Canada. Absolute corruption just like the Trudeau Liberal government in this country.
Thank you so much Rocky I really appreciate that. There is so much false info in this country that it’s hard to tell anymore what’s right and wrong. There is another Canadian RUclipsr that sounds like a robot and is clearly on the buy of manufacturer who claims to be an “automotive expert” but just like our federal leader steals but in this case it’s press footage. I really hope you are having a wonderful weekend.
@@ECPPThank you brother, wishing you well to million subscribers.
Lacey Lee Elliot an automotive journalist that deserves a recognition in Canada. It would be a dream to see her resurrected and to see collaboration.
Love my 2015 Murano. Bought it used. No problem what so ever in 5 yrs of ownership
is very rare to have i see your glow... CONGRATULATIONS
Thanks
@@ECPP you welcome
Love my 2013 BMW 328i F30. N26 engine. Issues I have had is....... Had to replace radiator. Replace oil turbo lines no other issues. 112k miles ready for another 100k miles. Just replaced my transmission filter and fluid.
Thank you for the free knowledge Sir.
There's an Eagle Talon listed for sale with low mileage & low price such a cute toy lol.
32:12 Thanks, Mark! Will be sharing!
The IS 350 is twice the car the BMW is !!!
Jeep = garbage
Bro, I love your channel. You always knock Chrysler a lot, but I have a 2006 300C SRT8 that I daily. I've had ZERO issues with it except for regular maintenance
Really love my 2015 Maxda CX 5. No CVT or timing belt.
How can you tell if a car have frame & body damage without carfax?
That Mazda turbo 4 is the most exciting turbo 4 you can have in an suv. I rented a CX-5 with the turbo 4, and i had the most fun of any little suv on the highway. It loves being punched. And, the interior quality comes very close to a Mercedes Benz.
What SUV do you recommend for tall people to drive?
Thank you for the information. I am 65 and I am looking for a reliable car. Trading in a 2009 Lincoln MKS. 😊
Hope my videos are helping
I've been watching 👀 your videos for a long time ⌛️
Thanks very much
I live in Massachusetts next to Boston and CapeCod, very close to the water and beaches ⛱️ and I've been shopping for a used vehicle for a while, but it is very hard to tell whether it is worth buying a used vehicle or not but I don't want to pay the price for new vehicles either. I just want to spend $13 thousand dollars 💸 I'm on budget if you know what I mean.
The Lexus IS300 AWD has the 3.5L V6…it’s the non-AWD models that use the 2L Turbo engine….
Yes indeed. Thanks
Won't be long before Mark once again 'treats' us to him wearing shorts and sandals
Haha yes I can’t wait
I am thinking to buy a mazada cx5 what are your opinion on that
great video man straight to the point 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you for watching and supporting
You give the geniuses a 2? Hyundai products are the most reliable, have the best warranties. And are some of the sexiest looking on the market. What is wrong with you??
seems like most of these car brands, are great on style, but falls short on substance such as combination of reliability and performance. Kind of like people. With exception for Toyota/Lexus and perhaps even Honda and newer BMWs.
Its almost like most companies still can't make reliable cars.
What about Mini Cooper. I never hear you mention these cars.
Ecvt is better than cvt for me ecvt is goat
No preface lift Mercedes-Benz W212 E Class?🎹🎶
Haha sorry maybe next vid. Hope your weekend is going well.
Life too short to drive boring cars!❤
Thanks. Exactly
Would you go with the new Honda 3.5 J35 (DI only, VCM and timing belt) or the new Toyota turbo 2.4 T24 (D4S, turbo and no VCM/belt)?
Great questions and I always prefer timing chains in my engines but either is comparable. With that said I prefer more displacement if that’s some guidance for you
Engineers should have to perform mechanical work on their designs before being released to the public.
Cheers
What about the CLA 250, the BMW Series 2, Audi, Mini Cooper S or the Macan. Thanks for the knowledge
Is Tesla model y reliable is the new Nissan z400 reliable or would you pick Supra
both my cars are year 2000, mazda and bimmer. i still cant really find something worth upgrading to , taking in costs, longevity etc
lexus all the way baby
Da*n, I'm in the market for a new Used vehicle. Every video I've seen you review, the brands I'm interested in have expensive out of warranty issues.
My [used] 05 Nissan Armada LE has 296k miles of which I put 250k on; now I'm scared by your review.
Audi, BMW, or Acura Sedans or SUV.
MFW Tesla scores higher than a Nissan.
In other words buy a Lexus Toyota or a Mazda for reliable motoring as a lot of Australians do
I'll give jeep a 1 star rating
I only buy older Lexus/Toyota haven't let me down yet.
Even if a niche car like the Alfa Romeo is average reliability, where will you ever find parts for it. I'm sure it drives nice, but downtime waiting for parts is a reality. At least with Dodge garbage, those fill the junkyards to no end, so parts are usually available LOL. Clarity - I dont own or recommend Dodge, ever.
Stay gold.
Thanks for sharing and good point
How do you feel about qx70? I personally haven’t seen many negatives, but i’m still not 100 % sold 1 way or the other.
This guy is paid by the car companies.
no
I have had plenty of Jeeps and have had few issues.
Well. Give me something are good cars and Forget about Toyotas and Lexuses and Hondas and Acuras and Subarus. Those five cars I will never buy it. I want something else. Good review bud
Have you ever talked about the Honda hrv in any of your videos? I own a 2022 HRV and it has been wonderful so far, I got the FWD version and people complain about how slow it is, I really don’t think it’s that bad, maybe the AWD is more sluggish than the FWD.
They are great little rides too, great choice that should last a long time
Great video,,thanks
IS 300 are not 4 cylinder turbo. Its the same V6. Just toned down in hp compared to the 350
Indeed
What’s your opinion on the genesis 3.8 htrac
I like the video thanks 👍🏼
How about volvo?
Ok. What the hay is a transmission roll-away ?
Junk vehicles allow this to happen.
All the Ford boys will say that their rig is reliable 😂
That’s true
Where was Corolla
WOW
Thanks for watching
Dont take a bmw any model 😂
Gingerly
F Lexus 😂
I HAVE A 2007 MAZDA 3 /& ALSO A 2008 MAZDA 3 & I LOVE MY 2 BABY'S. SO DEPENDABLE & ONLY HAD Minute problems... 💪🏻💥
The only crap is the lies and one sided opinion you provide, you need to tell facts not fiction
I didn’t see Audi 😮
Whoops, probably on the next
Bought a 09 ES350 with 126K, CX5 non turbo, but toy car is a 2002 C5 ragtop 6 gear with 44,000 K. Great video, straight up and honest!
Thanks Andy
I have been a mechanic for fifty years and if you like paying for expensive repairs get a vehicle with turbocharging!
That’s for sure, extra heat and early failures of plastic bits, not to mention need for tighter maintenance timelines and premium products and fluids.
No vehicle is made to last anymore. They all suck. Take great care and maybe it will last but unfortunately, most people don’t worry about oil changes. 10k mile oil changes will destroy your car.
Good morning Emilio, hope all is well. Yes i agree these nonesense oil service intervals are based on grossly extended practices due to the “free” included maintenance that is often offered so it leaves the dealer adhering to the included service which means less money I out of pocket for them, but this general practice accelerates deterioration of the vehicle. Sadly, by the time it starts to become a problem, warranty has long sailed away.
No vehicle was EVER made to last, you are confused, you're confusing the preschool Lego blocks, slow no power of the old days and you able to understand and work on it, with the new and you're not able to work on it..
The FACT that you had to work on it at all, is the same fact, That it didn't last then either....
False. Land Cruiser. 4Runner.
It's called planned obsolescence
@98MAzdaMilleniaS , false it is called preventive maintenance
Once again you are confused
You are ACTING like you can do N O T H I N G.. absolutely NOTHING, 100% and it will work 100% perfect every time, ALL the time.. that is the failure in your thinking on this topic... The fact that you must, YOU MUST, do ANYTHING at all, destroys your "statements / options / arguments".
Also the ease of which YOU could have done it, is throwing you off.
The fact is, YOU, a laymen, or Someone like a highly trained professional, Me, still has to do maintenance..
“Plastic Fantastic” great review Mark ! Have a great weekend 🇨🇦
Fisher price interior
2.7 ford ecoboost has very few problems and is a stout motor. I think you are generalizing too much. 1.0 ecoboost is not the same as 2.7 not even close.
Bought a mazda cx 5 in June, and traded in my mazda3 i had for 10 years
This is why I daily Drive a 97 Pontiac Sunfire Coupe
Good car
That was fun . Great job Mark !
question for you, I got 2013 Scion FRS problem 2 time we replace the flex-plate and still we not found the causes why do you have Idea or knowledge what is the reason .. thank you.
