  • Nope. No. Never. These are 3 of the worst car brands as far as I'm concerned. I can't stand them and won't buy one of these cars or SUVs. I don't think you should be buying them either, so avoid these ones at all costs!

    I have a 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport(RVR). On day 1 it was rattling and the uninspiring performance was noticeable. However, 150,000 miles later, I have never been stranded on the side of the road and dumped almost no money into it. Unlike my wife's Mercedes and BMW.

      I guess I could say I'm a Nissan guy I've had three Nissans and all three of them have been excellent vehicles. Two of them currently have CVTs never had any issues... the Altima has 200,000 on it and everything on the engine is still original as far as mechanical stuff. Replaced valve cover gasket and oil cooler gasket, front struts and a wheel bearing.... other than that nothing. Change your oil every 3 to 5000 miles. Use 89 octane at least. Nissan kind of has a bad rap but I've not seen it in 20 years of driving them. Don't like Subaru there just fucking gay... I'm just not a Mazda person either just slow. Other vehicle in the house is a Toyota Camry and Maxima.

This was the last year that the 6-speed transmission was available in the Forester. It has been serviced at regular intervals and at 120,000 km handles and runs like new. No issues and it does not have the dreaded stop/start feature. It has been a very reliable car and I am just one of the many satisfied owners.

    For Lent I'm trying to avoid commenting on RUclips, but I feel it's a greater sin to feed people misinformation. People want to lump Honda in with Toyota in reliability without doing research. Honda USED to be great. I'd avoid newer Hondas as well as the brands mentioned here. They have been having oil dilution issues in their engines and haven't been able to solve it. Also, Subaru has gotten a lot better in recent years as Toyota has stock in them and it shows. They have gotten a lot more reliable in recent years. I agree on the styling though. Outside of the BRZ, Subaru doesn't have cool looking vehicles.

      Consumer reports almost never consider longevity, mostly problems they analyze are for the first few years of ownership.
      Ecoboost is a name, not a family of engines. Most of them are different from each other. While there’s been all sorts of issues with the 1.0 and 1.5 4 bangers, the 2.3, 2.7 and 3.6 will last for hundreds of thousands of miles. Search for F150 Ecoboost with 1.4 million miles on RUclips , it ran 700k miles with the first engine and the 2nd is running strong. It’s a 2.7 ecoboost. The new 1.5 3 cylinder is also good for 200k miles or more.

I avoided Nissan altogether when Carlos Ghosn, of Renault "fame" (?) took over as CEO at Nissan. Things started to decline as quality gave way to cost cutting (eg: JATCO CVT). Styling was the selling point, but quality was swept under the rug.

    Ford, GM, and Chrysler (Stellantis) should be at the top of every would-be car owner's list of brands to AVOID! Their quality and records of reliability have always been abysmal (not to mention recalls galore). Stick with an older Honda or Toyota (that was manufactured in Japan) and you'll be OK. Avoid anything built in Mexico (i.e. Toyota Tacoma) because the quality and build quality are junk.

    before Renault bought nissan in 1999, altimas and sentras were rock solid. then the french, who dont know how to make cars, started cutting corners and cutting costs at the expense of quality. I wouldn't
    buy a nissan if it were the last car on earth. they are junk. Ever since Subaru's gained the reputation of blown head gaskets, I wouldnt touch them with a ten foot pole either. toyota honda and mazda the only way to go.

    Mitsibushis has always costed less than Toyotas and as a result they're made cheaper and corners are cut. Plus, cars aren't Mitsubishi's main focus, so they aren't made as well. This is why it's common for Mitsubishis to start burning oil or have engine or transmission failures around 100k miles. Their piston rings are just made too cheaply. My cousin's 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander CVT failed at 145000 miles, in addition, his engine started burning oil at around 110000. He traded in for a 2016 CX-5 and it's now at 260000 miles and is still 100% trouble free all original.
