... finally had to say so long to my '99 Toyota 6 cylinder Camry; Wisconsin winter roads finally did her in. In 547,000 miles, it never, one time, let me down.
We’ll look up the thousands of customers who a V6 camery from 1997-2003 and see how many engine sludges and blew up, I use to work on them. It was a class action lawsuit for Toyota. The brand new trucks and the 4 cylinders from 2008 up on Camry and Highlanders burn oil and burn up. I don’t know how Toyota has escaped these issues tainting their reliability. Nissan makes better engines for sure, I work on them both.
@@zkjohn4470The Toyota Dealership kept my old car on the lot for quite a long time with the owner's manual on the dash, with a note that read: THIS IS WHAT FOLLOWING SCHEDULED MAINTENANCE CAN DO FOR YOU, TOO. I followed the book like some kind of sacred doctrine! Thanks.
I have a 2012 CRV with 130,000 miles on it. That doesn’t sound like much, but I live on a geographically isolated island. The miles are in stop & go traffic, so the miles are not easy. Normal maintenance with 100% synthetic Mobil oil, it used to be more difficult to find in 2012. CRV is still going. I do admit that the Honda 2.4 liter non turbo engine with a normal torque converter transmission is more proven & durable than what is out now.
I have a 2007 Toyota Corolla. I don't do long trips, so mileage is just a 100,000. I can't justify buying another since it still runs well. My mechanic tells me, "At 100,000 mikes, you've just gotten it broken in. It should be good for at least 150,000, maybe close to 200,000." My dad always told me, "Watch your fluids, check your battery & tires." I have been sure to get proper maintenance done over the years. If, when I buy another car - it will be a Toyota Corolla!
I have a 2001 Nissan Xterra I’ve had for 23 years original engine and power train, all the original power windows, and AC system, I have 461,281 miles right now and it still runs strong and doesn’t burn oil.
I have a 2011 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab SV 4x4. It has 184,xxx miles on it. Uses no oil between changes. It does have the computer that doesn't wake up when the weather is very cold. It's been pretty solid. It's not exactly a joy to drive but it's a mid size truck. I drive my Porsche when I want to have a blast driving.
The Frontier truck has always been a solid, dependable truck. It’s a rear wheel drive vehicle so it doesn’t have that horrible CVT automatic transmission that the front wheel drive vehicles have. That’s the only Nissan I would even consider buying. The rest of them are piles of junk.
I bought a new 2010 Prius. I drove a lot for my work, 60-80000km annually. At 400,000 km the only repair was replacement of rear brake pads and rotors. My ex-wife got that vehicle and I am still driving my 2002 F350 7.3L diesel. Approaching 450,000km
Have a 2007 Honda CRV with 413,000 kms with next to no problems with it. Bought it used with 70,000 kms on it. It is starting to burn a bit of oil now. It has been just an excellent car!
Oil caps. May be changed not by manual - without block disassembly. 👌 And there is one transmission outern filter not stated in service book. Google it. Really helps if u got it not changed.
I’m on my fourth Toyota…2021 RAV4. Before that an ‘81 Tercel (325,000 miles), ‘89 Corolla (319,000 miles), 2011 Corolla S (110,000 miles, traded for my new baby RAV 4). Husband has a 2015 Tacoma, previous…Camry and Avalon.
With regard to the poor quality trucks these days, as an old(er) man I saw it coming when pickups - that used to be cheap, basic reliable-as-hell vehicles that were HALF the cost of a new car - started turning into "cowboy Cadillacs" full of features and family haulers. Knuckleheads now just want a massive truck-body presence and a large touchscreen. Since that is what sells to the public, that is what the manufacturers focus on. It is so sad that you can spend more on a pickup truck now than I spent on my first HOUSE in 1990, and it's crap with a long list of recalls.
Well said. I'm 66 years old and have never owned a pickup truck. I always viewed them as a tool. If I had enough work to justify buying one I would have. Now people buy them because they're expected to have one when they pull into the soccer field with their kids.
'97 Subaru Outback Sport. The Impreza wagon with a scoop on the hood. Bought her new. 176k miles. Love this car. She will be the last car I own. I just ordered front seat covers. Still solid and strong. No major issues and she has never left me stranded. I am so grateful for this car. I think she will be here when I am gone. None of my grandkids want to learn to drive a stick. Wimps.
Can I be your grandkid? To this day I prefer driving stick instead of automatic or variable transmissions. I drove many cars but the ones with manual transmission always stick for me.

@michaelbare5380 My wife bought me a 2007 Ford F150 with a 3 value ! God I hate that thing . lol. It's for sale but not at Junk yard prices . It's got 157.000 miles on it 4x4 Auto . In KCMO.
2 best cars I ever had...1996 Ford escort 450,000 miles . I bought it used for $200.00 with 200,000 miles on it. Best $200 I ever spent . The next was surprisingly an izusu amigo...it had 400,00 miles on it. gas tank and fuel pump repair wasn't worth it with 500,000 miles on it. I paid $400.00 for that one. That was 8 years of cars for me. Now I'm driving a 2009 kia Rio I paid $3000.00 with 66,000 miles on it 6 years ago. It up to 92,000 miles. I've been offered $5000 for it. (Needless to say the used car market changed since this purchase). I My husband is driving a 2000 mercury Sable he paid $2000.00 for with only 28,000 miles on it. We have been lucky so far.
You're destroying the environment with that truck. Oh wait, it takes 8 years of carbon footprint just to produce EV trucks today, and they last about .... I better check my math.
Toyota Mazda owner here! Keep my cars over 10 years. My Toyota was 18 years old when I sold it for my 1st Mazda. I’m up to my third Mazda in 25 years. Just traded in my 2010 Mazda 3 for a new 2024 Mazda CX-30. ❤️ the drive and quality of their products.
Had a 90 B2000 standard for 17 yrs. replaced two light bulbs and the clutch never died. Now I have a 2012 Toyota Tacoma, 260.000 km, runs like a top and no rust yet. I love it. People keep offering me over market price for it.
@@TinMan_RC Seems to be the norm. Not only with cars but home appliances and entertainment systems. Hell even HVAC systems. Changed mine out in 2021. I’m up to my 6th service call with the new installation. The blower broke down. The tech replaced it with a brand new one and it never worked. Was without AC from July 30 until October. Now that it’s fixed the cold weather has arrived. 😂 They sure don’t make them like they used to.
The manufacturers are adding so many senseless features for "our comfort" so they can charge premium prices for the nonsense and increase their profits. Long gone are the days of simple vehicles.
@@lastmanstanding2622 Yeah, but people want CarPlay on the screens, audio upgrades, AWD, power seats, etc. If they can make more money selling these features, they will do it. The only way things will change is if those cars stayed on the lot while the simpler cars were sold. I don't see that happening.
Had 4 Rogues BEFORE they went with the 1.5 ltr 3 cylinder and never had a problem. Currently on my 2nd Nissan Murano 6cyl and love it. It has 68,000 and np problem. Dealer maintained, CVT transmission fluid changed at 48,000 and still going great.
2 months ago, I bought a 2023 Rouge with only 2753 miles (it must've been a showroom / test drive model ). So far, it's been a pleasurably good ride. It's got an excellent warranty ( 7 years or 100k ). Now I'm starting to be concerned a bit..
1986 Toyota Truck 2 WD. 22R Engine, Manuel 5 Speed. 340,000 on this 22R Engine and still going strong. Regular Maintenance, 2 Timing Chains Replaced, with 2 New Clutches put in it. Otherwise, nothing Major then That. Very Happy.. Peace..
mine, same year, has only around 160K, no probs either. Reg maintenance, changed timing belt at 100K just as precaution, same with all hoses & belts as it's not garaged and out in the SoCal sun & heat. At my age will probably be the last car I own/need. Have never had to add oil aside from oil changes. Bought new so sole owner. Best car I've ever had.
Check out an engineer flush.. my 2003 Volvo V70 (115,000 miles) was losing a quart of oil in about 1500 miles. After the flush, at 1500 miles it’s down 1/8 quart. Supposedly, it cleans the oil ring on the piston.. and other places. Easy to do before an oil change. Engine is smoother and a bit more power, maybe due to better compression. Oil is also staying cleaner longer. Next oil change will be with Valvoline Restore and Protect. Used the Liqui Moly flush and also added the Liqui Moly Ceratec.
I was a Mitsubishi service tech. They're fabulously reliable cars - just as good as Toyota & Honda but not as well known. One aspect - they simplify by having only 1 model offering per category, vs other manufacturers having more models per category. Also Mitsubishi tends to keep model going for years. Both Mitsubishi and Mazda are great Japanese car choices that can save you $$$.
2011 KIA SPORTAGE here with 321,000 miles so far. Only minor repairs so far. NEVER EVER broken down. Everything still works on it, and is driven 70 miles daily with confidence. I will never buy a new car again... that's for sure.
It's called "Planned Obsolescence." Auto makers have realized one of the major issues in the car market. If someone buys a car, and keeps it for 3 to 5 years after the loan is paid off, they miss out on sales every 4 to 6 years. But if someone buys a car and it 'dies' in 5 years, the buyer has to replace it more quickly.
My 2001 Honda Accord lasted 337.000 miles and my 2008 Honda CRV lasted 359.000 miles. I now have a 2016 Honda CRV and it runs like a Swiss watch. Honda forever
My 2001 Civic lasted 385,000. When it finally gave out, bought a 2015 (new) Civic without looking elsewhere. They changed the seats and it was incredibly uncomfortable. That one had an early demise and I checked the seats on the newer models and did NOT get another. Driving Subaru now. Sadly, my 1st one had a serious transmission issue at 275K, and repair would have been more than the value of the car. I was still happy enough to replace with another Subaru (Outback).
The reason cars don’t last: People don’t change fluids often enough. Change engine oil every 3-4 k. Change trans fluid every 40k. Change coolant 3 yrs or 40 k. Change brake fluid every 3 yrs. #2 don’t accelerate to red lights. #3 dont accelerate like your in NASCAR from red lights. #4 take off slowly first 1-2 minutes in sub freezing weather #5 don’t bitch when your car dies at 90,000 miles and you have beating the crap out of the car since you bought it.
You are far more likely to have a transmission failure if you change the transmission fluid. The most common failure mode is fluid contaminants. Every time you open the transmission you introduce contaminants. I have driven several cars over 200,000 mile with no transmission failures and never touched the fluid. Also if you use synthetic oil you can easily go 6,000 miles between motor oil changes.

Amazing. I turned wrenches 41 years; 17 at Hyundai. Starting in 2011 we were doing two engines a week for spun bearings or rods through the block. A bad news engine. But, we only saw the bad ones!
I have a mustang 2008. still running without problem because Ford made sure it does not have any Hi tec stuff inside, no sophisticated suspension either.my son in law bought a new 7 seater Nissan pathfinder and with in 3 months it started to vibrate with CVT issues.
The Kia mentioned is the 2.0 liter. I just bought a brand new Sportage. It has the 2.5 liter. But I'm sure someone out there will post something telling me the same issues apply to 2.5 liter and I made a grave mistake. Not sure if JD Power rankings mean anything but in comparing to Toyota RAV4, the Sportage ranked higher in all 5 categories (2024 RAV 4 XLE Premium AWD vs 2024 Sportage X Pro Prestige. Guess it doesn't matter now. Bought it for a family member. Hope she likes it.
2018 Kia Sportage LX AWD 2.4L GDI here. Purchased used at 29k three years ago, now up to 95k. I can certainly verify the oil consumption issue. Always make sure I've got a quart of 5w-20 in the vehicle and check the oil level every other tank fill up. No major issues except recall work and normal wear & tear.
@davidwright1653 My wife had a 2000 I believe Kia with a V-6 and that thing ran like a top ! No Joke ; she and her dad took it to California twice and both times it got 33 mile per gallon! ; you would have to know her dad , he didn't go anywhere slow lol . He couldn't believe it would get 33 mile per gallon but it did ( lol. ) it liked 80 mph .
@@donlewis6728I have a KIA Telluride that gets 32mpg. The engine turns 2 grand at 79 mph. Does not burn a drop of oil. 5 grand between oil changes and it’s always on the full mark. Great for pulling my boat, gets over 20 mpg at 70. Replaced a Suburban, wished I had done it sooner.
I had a Subaru that consumed oil from day 1. Dealer said it was normal. I just managed it by checking the oil weekly and buying it by the case at Costco. Until the carbon build up from all that consumption caused a knock and engine failure. They rebuilt it twice and then replaced it and I traded it in promptly. I learned a lot. Like never to buy a Subaru again.
@@jimmyaber5920 Between 3-5K mile intervals, I judge it by the black color of the oil. My mechanic assures me the oil consumption issue is normal for this engine.
I drove my dad’s old GM Oldsmobile 98 for years after he decided he wanted a new car. It finally died after hitting over 425,000 miles…my mechanic warmed me that I had only about 6 months left to its life….he was correct…at the six month mark he said, “ I told you! No more Hail Mary’s for this thing…it is dying!” What a beautifully elegant wonderful ride it provided our family for almost 15 years‼ Naturally, it was always very well maintained‼ 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
So true, our 2015 Silverado 5.3L engine developed a ticking noise at 92,000 miles, asked the dealer if there are any reports or class action law suites on the AFM issues, they gave me the deer in the headlights look. Shortly after my last visit, truly last visit to that dealer, the engine failed. The stuck lifter destroyed the cam shaft, metal shavings everywhere. So we decided with a local shop in the Chicago area, we replaced the engine with a a Jasper remanufactured engine with The AFM delete option. New warranty from Jasper, and the awesome installer 3 years or 36,000 miles, parts and labor included. Quote was $9100 for the swap. We added all new hoses, radiator, transmission lines at an additional price. We are searching for any class action suite we can join, your help would be greatly appreciated.
Ran a Kia Rio as driving school car along with an Elantra and owned a Sportage, never an issue, apart from some recalls for minor problems, like CV joint seals? The Rio had completed about 300,000k before trading.
I have 101k on my 2015 Outback and do all maintenance myself. Runs like a top. I want to not like it but with prices the way they are I’m loving it. Paid it off in 2018. What’s not to love about no car payments?
@@stevegould1730The Series II had a flaw though. Oil could drip from the valve cover gasket and drip onto the exhaust manifold starting a fire. My brother bought a salvage ‘97 Grand Prix from a junkyard because of it and I owned a ‘01 that it happened. Outside of that, great motor and about bulletproof. It’s not the most economical nowadays due to high gas prices.
Seems like cars are turning into expensive "fast fashion" they aren't being designed or built to last anymore. Between that and the new car data collection issue, I'll stick with older cars.
New patrol cars are made to last 10 years when electric cars are the normal. Engineers anticipate on that. Think about that. Gouverments impose that objective on their car industries.
I have upgraded the entertainment system of my 4WD, 2000 GMC 3/4 ton standard cab PU with a third party unit that has an Android OS, it plays video and has a powerful GPS built in and all for under $200. In addition to the the radio, I have upgraded the lighting with high output LEDs. I consider my 300 HP, pushrod, 2 valves per cylinder naturally aspirated V8 (with a very basic ECU) coupled to a rugged 4 speed automatic transmission, to be a jewel worth keeping. By the way, my alternator started going out a couple of years ago (at about 170K miles) so I replaced it in the parking lot of the parts store in less than an hour and that included the time to remove it, select and pay for the correct replacement, put it in and adjust the serpentine belt. One of my O2 sensors went out and threw a code, so I bought a set of 4 and replaced them all within an hour without jacking up the truck. A few months ago the engine was running fine, but I knew the plugs were likely to be originals, so I removed them and was amazed the engine ran so well with such incredibly worn out plugs. As old as it is, my truck requires a smog check every two years now and it always passes with very low emission numbers. Back in 2000, GMC trucks were still being designed to be reliable workhorses, easy and cheap to work on and without a lot of senseless luxury.
@@David-uu3wq we are very pleased We bought it used but very low miles on a lease My husband is a mechanic and works on the rest of our fleet constantly He needed one not giving him headaches And my butt likes sitting in it 😉
Wow, I have a Hyundai Tucson that is going to turn 200K miles. It is so sound that I expect at least another 50-100K. Only fail was a Camshaft Sensor. Piece of cake, changed it myself.
They are fine if you change your oil at 5k or less. The issue is not with the Kia\Hyundai it's the people who buy them are usually ignorant to car care. They are more cost effective at purchase and people that want "cheap" tend to not give a crap. I have an 18 Sportage work car. 232000 miles on it. It has a 2.0. never an issue. Oil is changed at 4-5k, trans at 60k, and all other service is done at factory spec. My friend HAD a 19 forte. 56k blew up because he waited until the car said to change the oil, which was 10-11k.
I have a 2016 Tucson that has 61k miles. Dealership changed oil every 4 months since new. Rear main seal is leaking bad . Last Hyundai I'll ever own after having 5 in the last 9 years.
I have a 2018 Nissan Murano SV with the same CVT Transmission, and a V6 engine. We bought it in 2019 with 50,000 miles on it and it now has 123,230 miles on it and we've never had a problem with the engine or the CVT transmission. As for the Rogue, we rented a 2019 Nissan Rogue and took on a vacation. Never had a single issue with its CVT transmission acting up. So I'm a bit perplexed at this claim. I do know that the older models (2009 and below) had CVT Transmission issues, but heard those issues were addressed by 2017. So, as I said, not sure how accurate these claims are as of now. Nissan and Toyota have always outperformed Chevy, Ford and Dodge brand vehicles. However, when it comes to a pickup truck, i love me a Chevy or a Dodge all day long.
When I was younger would always see a Jaguar broken down while driving the highway. My most reliable car was a 2007 Hyundai Sonata with 2.4L engine. Zero problems for 12 years with 130,000 miles. I sold it for $2500 to a college student.
i had a 1991 Hynundai Excel it ran for about 10 years before it broke down. During its final year it was running on 2 cylinders.before she finally gave out. Paid $500 for her in 1995
Best little car ever, I reckon the equivalent of the beetle for its time. we had a two door new in 1995 and it was a beaut. Two adults with two kids in boosters plus all our luggage we could drive 7 hours to Sydney on about $25 petrol and never get out of fifth gear ! What a unit with massive space , great motor and incredible turning circle.
7th gen. Accords are bullet proof....the older or early editions, though - you have to be careful if you have an automatic transmission, though. They fixed it around the end of the gen. before redesign.
I had transmission die at 107k on my 2004 Accord. Warranty was 100k. F U Honda. I had a Cutlass outlast it for crying out loud. Friend got over 300k on a 2003 Accord though.
I have a Kia Forte with the 2.0 engine and I would say the engine is the least of your worries. It's actually pretty solid, it's everything else on the car that will break before 100k miles. Especially that crap CVT.
Maybe the best comment so far and now Honda is starting over the last 2-3 years of cutting corners meanwhile raising vehicle prices in their vehicle lineup. Only Toyota is the long term smart choice.......
@@crow_2k11beatsbydre8 well the prices are rising thanks to "inflation" plus dealerships are the ones bumping up the price. when you buy a car get a detailed information on what the actual cost is. i was trying to get honda navi the msrp was 1899 but the dealer was trying to add fees and came out to be 4k out the door. taxes and dmv fees shouldnt be much and it should be atleast 2500 out the door. i blame this on greedy people.
I Agee. I've had Toyotas since the late 80s and kept them past 100k, and kept up with the maintenance recommendations which have not cost me an arm and a leg. The only times I had one in for any repair were collision related - one with a car, one with a deer.
I drove my 99 Honda accord, from new to 21 years old without any issue aside from tires, and low-level maintenance issues. I bought a 2003 mini Cooper S at 64k miles as a replacement and it’s been a great experience and I’ve recently hit 100k miles without major issues. When this car dies of old age, I’ll go back to a Honda Accord.
I’m still driving my 2004 Toyota Limited 4Runner. It ‘s one that came over from Japan, is a V8 and on the truck frame, now at 380,000 miles and still going strong.
I own a 2007 GMC Sierra 250HD CREW CAB DURAMAX. I GET on avg 22mpg hiway. It’s now sitting at just over 345,000 miles. I use an oil by pass filtration system, Along with a FASS lift pump….& fully expect to get another 345,000 mikes… GM’s 6.6L LBZ Motor is still the BEST Diesel motor ever built…IMO. Little to no emissions BS, little to no Automation…and I’m totally good with THAT..!!
GM trucks were very reliable, long lasting vehicles in the early to mid 2000s. We just sold our 2003 Yukon with 189000 miles. It has one repair to the 4WD system some 12 years ago. That's it for over 20 years of use. I wouldn't touch GM products today. They are not the same quality
I had a 2006 Hyundai Sonata with the 2.4 liter, 168 hp 4 cyl engine and put on 144,000 trouble free miles before giving the car to a grand daughter. I used Synthetic oil, either Penzoil or AMSoil and the car never burned a drop. The grand daughter put another 50,000 miles on it and after NEVER changing the oil, drove it to the junk yard with just under 200,000 miles.
I have a Hyundai Elantra 2018, with about 60,000 miles. Not had a single problem with it yet. Still under warranty for 40,000 miles. Will probably hit the 10 year warranty limit before I hit the 100,000 warranty limit.
Make sure you keep your paperwork. My 2014 Sonata was great until the engine failed at 129,000miles. Hyundai replaced it due to the lawsuit settlement.
I had 08, rust killed it, back then they were competing with Toyota, now they make fashionable disposable products designed to live warranty period and disintegrate afterwards like European and Chinese cars
@@MegaNinjaMonkeyZord Keep thinking that Liberal. 07 Kia Sportage V6 4WD . Brought brand new and serviced at the Kia Dealership. 270,000 miles. Looks and drives brand new. Just routine maintenance. Needed new struts front and rear @ 100,000 miles but that’s normal. Oil changes every 3 thousands. And questions ?
Great video! Really appreciate the in-depth look at these vehicles and the clear warnings. This kind of information is invaluable for anyone looking to buy a used car, especially those on a budget. The visuals were helpful too, making it easy to understand the potential issues. Thanks for saving people from potentially costly mistakes!
Was driving my work truck, a ford f-35O. Experienced ford death wobble for the 1st time accelerating at 35 mph. Almost pulled the wheel out of my hands. Found out busted tie rod. 43,000 miles on the clock
The engine in my 2015 KIA Sorento blew at 108k, outside warranty. KIA replaced the engine, provided rental car for the 5 weeks. 2nd engine was running fine at 205k miles when I traded it in for a KIA Soul, which I really like also. KIA is alright by me! The Soul EX is a great value.
I bought my BMW X3 new and had it serviced on schedule by the dealer. The back differential started leaking at 80,000 miles and the front differential failed at 85,000 miles. Worst car I ever owned.
I've owned my 2017 GMC Sierra 2500. Use it for interstate towing and never had a problem. No oil burning, No nothing. Just regular maintenance and it's ran great.
Ram promaster city owner here. Usual battery at 4 yrs. Tires at 66k. Brakes at 92k. Currently 95k miles with a noisy wheel bearing. Other than that really reliable. Fluid filmed and oil changes at 5 k.
The only car I remember that would die by 60,000miles was the Aussie 2003 Holden TS Astra. Brand spanking new cars, their engines were failing within the first year in massive droves. Most cars need a timing belt every 62,000 miles. No Astra had such bad problems that the belt would fail with a certainty around the 31,000 mile mark at the latest. It was safest to replace at 18,000 miles at the earliest. The belts all failed during that servicing window. And that would include the Timing Belt, Water Pump, all pully's and bearings, Tensioner and while at it all the oil seals. If you failed to replace the belt on time, the valves bounced off the tops of the piston heads and required $10,000 for a new head. If you were really unlucky they needed an entire engine rebuild. It was the second biggest screw up that GM Holden made in Australia.
Have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. It is currently at the dealership getting engine diagnostics. It has 130,000 miles on it. At 60,000 miles it started consuming oil (about 1qt every thousand miles. Hyundai says this isn’t excessive. 😮😂 It has been that way the last 70,000 but has now lost compression. Honestly I’m happy to see it as the #1 on the list because it deserves it. It will be the last Hyundai I ever purchase.
Keeping the low-tech vehicles keeps them reliable and trustworthy, and they can last many decades. I have a 1975 Dodge W100 with a 440 and a 727. Very solid, reliable truck that can go just about anywhere. It is loud, bumpy, and not that great on mpg, but I can trust it with my life, and I do. It is a beast.

2015 is a new car to me; still driving my 2002 Chevy Avalanche with over 300k, almost wish it would quit so I would have the excuse to buy another Chevy Truck, the 5.3L v8 always starts here in Maine.
Too much technology in these cars. Need to scale back on that and go back to more reliably, cars that LAST. That CVT transmission has its problems. Simplicity is better.
I've owned the 2017 Elantra since 18 and it currently has almost 110,000 miles. The engine is the 2.0L Atkinson engine and has thus far been very reliable. Only had 1 intermittent error on cylinder 3 & after replacing all coil packs months ago the error hasn't returned. I also replaced all the plugs @ just over 100, 000 miles. I hope to have this for an additional 7+ yrs.
2014 Subaru Forrester...110,000 miles but over $10,000 in repairs (Air conditioning compressors, wheel bearings, O Rings, front axle, CVT module....etc) but some poor sucker has it now!
@@sidramone66d I have a 2010 Outback here in Maine. I fell for the marketing about being a good sturdy reliable car. I still have it, last year head gasket replaced $3k, that sucky CVT transmission has me worried; that would be $6k. Maybe Subaru WAS good, now it’s overrated.
Just traded my 2014 Outback (252,000 miles) and not a single repair. Got a 2024 Outback new, now with 12,000 miles. So far so good, but I don't like it as well as the '14.
I think the video should have been titled with model years…I too have a 2015 Nissan Rogue, been driving Nissans since 08 and no major issues. BUT there are reports the Rogues built in 2023 have had major issues. Not sure if it had to do with going from a 4 cylinder to a 3 cylinder…but something to consider. To be fair since 2020 is when all this ‘new tech’ went rampant in these makes/models. Everyone should just do their own research…IMO
My last GM truck was back in 1996. It was the GMC Sonoma off road package a.k.a Hirider. The 4.3 was a very strong reliable V6. Did the usual maintenance (oil changes new plugs when needed & so on). The only issue was at 100 thousand miles intake gasket replacement. Kept it up thru 2009 there the truck had reached 148 thousand miles got good gas mileage. Decided to downsize into a '09 Chevy HHR SS panel with the turbo 2 liter 4. It was just 1 of 216 SS panels built i later found out. Love it.
Buy a used older SUV of a good make, fix it up, and get a reliable vehicle with no payments. In 2020, I bought a 2000 Honda CRV with a blown clutch for $350. These older CRVs are simple enough that a backyard mechanic can work on them and they are good sturdy SUV's, worth putting money into. I did all the repair work myself. The major expenses were: clutch parts $500, front end parts $800, catalytic converter $1200, new tires $1200. Also replaced the still-functioning alternator, timing belt, starter, and other parts, just because I didn't want any breakdowns on the road. Total $4000. Then ran it from California to Arizona and back. Four years later, it's still a reliable vehicle, and it's still running fine at 305K, and I have no car payments. Not buying any new cars any more, they are too complicated for home mechanics to work on, and major drivetrain parts are too expensive.
I don’t know squat about the American vehicles discussed but your pretty well spot on with the JLR products. Yeah they are definitely luxurious and beautiful to drive but boy you better have deep deep pockets when it comes to workshop visits!
I bought an 05 Volvo XC90 SUV four years ago, with 180k miles. Everyone thought I was crazy to buy a vehicle this old, with this many miles. My response was that it was from the original owner with all service records and no accidents, dents, dings or rust. Plus, I only paid $3,200 for it. It just turned 200k miles and runs like a champ.
My 5 speed stick shift FORD Titanium Fiesta 2013 is the best!! Fast off the line, and have NEVER had a problem. Love it and will be driving it for many more years!
Kia for life, my 2010 forte 14yrs 175k no issues until wife crashed it head on collision @ 25MHP. Still running great with some minor vibration when on iddle. Now owning 2023 soul, no issues yet.

We’ll look up the thousands of customers who a V6 camery from 1997-2003 and see how many engine sludges and blew up, I use to work on them. It was a class action lawsuit for Toyota. The brand new trucks and the 4 cylinders from 2008 up on Camry and Highlanders burn oil and burn up. I don’t know how Toyota has escaped these issues tainting their reliability. Nissan makes better engines for sure, I work on them both.

2006 Honda CRV I do regular maintenance on it. Just hit 225 thousand K . I've had it for about 10 years now. Love it!
The older vehicles are better than the new ones
I have a 2012 CRV with 130,000 miles on it. That doesn’t sound like much, but I live on a geographically isolated island. The miles are in stop & go traffic, so the miles are not easy. Normal maintenance with 100% synthetic Mobil oil, it used to be more difficult to find in 2012. CRV is still going. I do admit that the Honda 2.4 liter non turbo engine with a normal torque converter transmission is more proven & durable than what is out now.
That's a much older vehicle, though. I wonder how the newer CRVs are - do they have any related problems with the 'new tech?'
worst cabin noise in the suv department. almost any suv will run that mileage as long as you take care of it.
225k isn't much
Toyota is king for me. I, my wife and daughter, drive Toyota. No problems.
@joe-g5h3b Hae ! My horse wagon was best. Can Run with out fuel.
I have also Toyota very good vehicle 👍
I have a 2007 Toyota Corolla. I don't do long trips, so mileage is just a 100,000.
I can't justify buying another since it still runs well.
My mechanic tells me, "At 100,000 mikes, you've just gotten it broken in. It should be good for at least 150,000, maybe close to 200,000."
My dad always told me, "Watch your fluids, check your battery & tires." I have been sure to get proper maintenance done over the years. If, when I buy another car - it will be a Toyota Corolla!
I have a 2001 Nissan Xterra I’ve had for 23 years original engine and power train, all the original power windows, and AC system, I have 461,281 miles right now and it still runs strong and doesn’t burn oil.
They love to hate Nissan.
I have a 2011 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab SV 4x4. It has 184,xxx miles on it. Uses no oil between changes. It does have the computer that doesn't wake up when the weather is very cold. It's been pretty solid. It's not exactly a joy to drive but it's a mid size truck. I drive my Porsche when I want to have a blast driving.
Possibly because it is an older model. Built better.
The Frontier truck has always been a solid, dependable truck. It’s a rear wheel drive vehicle so it doesn’t have that horrible CVT automatic transmission that the front wheel drive vehicles have. That’s the only Nissan I would even consider buying. The rest of them are piles of junk.
Older models are simple and reliable. That's why Toyota is bit slow in implementing new technologies

With regard to the poor quality trucks these days, as an old(er) man I saw it coming when pickups - that used to be cheap, basic reliable-as-hell vehicles that were HALF the cost of a new car - started turning into "cowboy Cadillacs" full of features and family haulers. Knuckleheads now just want a massive truck-body presence and a large touchscreen. Since that is what sells to the public, that is what the manufacturers focus on. It is so sad that you can spend more on a pickup truck now than I spent on my first HOUSE in 1990, and it's crap with a long list of recalls.
Well said. I'm 66 years old and have never owned a pickup truck. I always viewed them as a tool. If I had enough work to justify buying one I would have. Now people buy them because they're expected to have one when they pull into the soccer field with their kids.

Consumers should just demand one thing from their car manufacturers,
"keep it simple"
If they do that, reliability, and longevity will go up.
The manufacturers are adding so many senseless features for "our comfort" so they can charge premium prices for the nonsense and increase their profits.
Long gone are the days of simple vehicles.
@@lastmanstanding2622 Yeah, but people want CarPlay on the screens, audio upgrades, AWD, power seats, etc. If they can make more money selling these features, they will do it.

h@@beesilverbee
Check out an engineer flush.. my 2003 Volvo V70 (115,000 miles) was losing a quart of oil in about 1500 miles. After the flush, at 1500 miles it’s down 1/8 quart. Supposedly, it cleans the oil ring on the piston.. and other places. Easy to do before an oil change. Engine is smoother and a bit more power, maybe due to better compression. Oil is also staying cleaner longer. Next oil change will be with Valvoline Restore and Protect. Used the Liqui Moly flush and also added the Liqui Moly Ceratec.
Funny how they stop making the good ones.

It's called "Planned Obsolescence." Auto makers have realized one of the major issues in the car market. If someone buys a car, and keeps it for 3 to 5 years after the loan is paid off, they miss out on sales every 4 to 6 years.
But if someone buys a car and it 'dies' in 5 years, the buyer has to replace it more quickly.
Engineered obsolescence.
Bought my 1996 Tacoma new and it still runs like new. Luvit!❤
Don't buy a new Toyota you will regret it.
My 2001 Honda Accord lasted 337.000 miles and my 2008 Honda CRV lasted 359.000 miles. I now have a 2016 Honda CRV and it runs like a Swiss watch. Honda forever
My 2001 Civic lasted 385,000. When it finally gave out, bought a 2015 (new) Civic without looking elsewhere. They changed the seats and it was incredibly uncomfortable. That one had an early demise and I checked the seats on the newer models and did NOT get another. Driving Subaru now. Sadly, my 1st one had a serious transmission issue at 275K, and repair would have been more than the value of the car. I was still happy enough to replace with another Subaru (Outback).
The reason cars don’t last:
People don’t change fluids often enough. Change engine oil every 3-4 k. Change trans fluid every 40k. Change coolant 3 yrs or 40 k. Change brake fluid every 3 yrs.
#2 don’t accelerate to red lights.
#3 dont accelerate like your in NASCAR from red lights.
#4 take off slowly first 1-2 minutes in sub freezing weather
#5 don’t bitch when your car dies at 90,000 miles and you have beating the crap out of the car since you bought it.
You are far more likely to have a transmission failure if you change the transmission fluid. The most common failure mode is fluid contaminants. Every time you open the transmission you introduce contaminants. I have driven several cars over 200,000 mile with no transmission failures and never touched the fluid.
Also if you use synthetic oil you can easily go 6,000 miles between motor oil changes.

I had a Subaru that consumed oil from day 1. Dealer said it was normal. I just managed it by checking the oil weekly and buying it by the case at Costco.

So true, our 2015 Silverado 5.3L engine developed a ticking noise at 92,000 miles, asked the dealer if there are any reports or class action law suites on the AFM issues, they gave me the deer in the headlights look. Shortly after my last visit, truly last visit to that dealer, the engine failed. The stuck lifter destroyed the cam shaft, metal shavings everywhere. So we decided with a local shop in the Chicago area, we replaced the engine with a a Jasper remanufactured engine with The AFM delete option. New warranty from Jasper, and the awesome installer 3 years or 36,000 miles, parts and labor included. Quote was $9100 for the swap. We added all new hoses, radiator, transmission lines at an additional price. We are searching for any class action suite we can join, your help would be greatly appreciated.

I have upgraded the entertainment system of my 4WD, 2000 GMC 3/4 ton standard cab PU with a third party unit that has an Android OS, it plays video and has a powerful GPS built in and all for under $200. In addition to the the radio, I have upgraded the lighting with high output LEDs. I consider my 300 HP, pushrod, 2 valves per cylinder naturally aspirated V8 (with a very basic ECU) coupled to a rugged 4 speed automatic transmission, to be a jewel worth keeping.
By the way, my alternator started going out a couple of years ago (at about 170K miles) so I replaced it in the parking lot of the parts store in less than an hour and that included the time to remove it, select and pay for the correct replacement, put it in and adjust the serpentine belt. One of my O2 sensors went out and threw a code, so I bought a set of 4 and replaced them all within an hour without jacking up the truck. A few months ago the engine was running fine, but I knew the plugs were likely to be originals, so I removed them and was amazed the engine ran so well with such incredibly worn out plugs. As old as it is, my truck requires a smog check every two years now and it always passes with very low emission numbers.
Back in 2000, GMC trucks were still being designed to be reliable workhorses, easy and cheap to work on and without a lot of senseless luxury.
Toyota / Lexus all the way. Anyone who offers a 10 year warranty, has to have faith in its product.
OR HONDA.
Love my worry free comfortable GX460 With a V8
@iztherelife1340 Common as hens teeth on the second hand market.
Probably because they are so good.
Nice motors.
@@David-uu3wq we are very pleased We bought it used but very low miles on a lease My husband is a mechanic and works on the rest of our fleet constantly He needed one not giving him headaches And my butt likes sitting in it 😉
Toyota DOES NOT offer a 10 year, unless you pay. They include the standard 5/60k required under us law.
Wow, I have a Hyundai Tucson that is going to turn 200K miles. It is so sound that I expect at least another 50-100K. Only fail was a Camshaft Sensor. Piece of cake, changed it myself.
They are fine if you change your oil at 5k or less. The issue is not with the Kia\Hyundai it's the people who buy them are usually ignorant to car care. They are more cost effective at purchase and people that want "cheap" tend to not give a crap. I have an 18 Sportage work car. 232000 miles on it. It has a 2.0. never an issue. Oil is changed at 4-5k, trans at 60k, and all other service is done at factory spec. My friend HAD a 19 forte. 56k blew up because he waited until the car said to change the oil, which was 10-11k.
I have a 2016 Tucson that has 61k miles. Dealership changed oil every 4 months since new. Rear main seal is leaking bad . Last Hyundai I'll ever own after having 5 in the last 9 years.
@@nhbountyhunterAgreed. I have an 08 Santa Fe still runs smooth and quiet though it only has 133k miles on it.
I love my 2013 Nissan Murano. 190,000 miles, and the only thing I’ve had to do is replace the rear lift/lower piston system.
I have a 2018 Nissan Murano SV with the same CVT Transmission, and a V6 engine. We bought it in 2019 with 50,000 miles on it and it now has 123,230 miles on it and we've never had a problem with the engine or the CVT transmission. As for the Rogue, we rented a 2019 Nissan Rogue and took on a vacation. Never had a single issue with its CVT transmission acting up. So I'm a bit perplexed at this claim. I do know that the older models (2009 and below) had CVT Transmission issues, but heard those issues were addressed by 2017. So, as I said, not sure how accurate these claims are as of now. Nissan and Toyota have always outperformed Chevy, Ford and Dodge brand vehicles. However, when it comes to a pickup truck, i love me a Chevy or a Dodge all day long.
Hyundai/Kia Shocked to see them on the list 😶
Me too
I recently bought a Lexus IS 350. Love it. My husband had an SUV, but has had a Toyota XSE for a while now. No problems. Bought new.
When I was younger would always see a Jaguar broken down while driving the highway. My most reliable car was a 2007 Hyundai Sonata with 2.4L engine. Zero problems for 12 years with 130,000 miles. I sold it for $2500 to a college student.
i had a 1991 Hynundai Excel it ran for about 10 years before it broke down. During its final year it was running on 2 cylinders.before she finally gave out. Paid $500 for her in 1995
Best little car ever, I reckon the equivalent of the beetle for its time. we had a two door new in 1995 and it was a beaut. Two adults with two kids in boosters plus all our luggage we could drive 7 hours to Sydney on about $25 petrol and never get out of fifth gear ! What a unit with massive space , great motor and incredible turning circle.
We still drive a 2003 Accord that still is going strong coming up on 300,000 miles.
7th gen. Accords are bullet proof....the older or early editions, though - you have to be careful if you have an automatic transmission, though. They fixed it around the end of the gen. before redesign.
How's the timing chain holding up?😮
I had transmission die at 107k on my 2004 Accord. Warranty was 100k. F U Honda. I had a Cutlass outlast it for crying out loud. Friend got over 300k on a 2003 Accord though.
I have a Volkswagen Tiguan, electric issues for sure, but it drives wonderfully.
3rd Nissan Pathfinder. 1996, 2017, 2023. No issues.
2019 Infiniti QX 50, still going strong with no issues whatsoever.
🫡
Toyota is the one for me. Had 5 different one over last 20 years and have only ever had a bulb go in all the time.
2003 Toyota Corolla. 368,000 miles, no problems. One brake job. Have to give it up. Totaled it.
Have a Kia Sorento, differential gave out, Kia replaced but 1 year later. Same problem. Time for a Toyota!
@@smartmover9087 good cars 🚗
@@ogdog123 Killed In Action !!! Equals Kia
I have a Kia Forte with the 2.0 engine and I would say the engine is the least of your worries. It's actually pretty solid, it's everything else on the car that will break before 100k miles. Especially that crap CVT.
The problem is cutting corners to make a profit on cars. Companies are getting to greedy
Maybe the best comment so far and now Honda is starting over the last 2-3 years of cutting corners meanwhile raising vehicle prices in their vehicle lineup. Only Toyota is the long term smart choice.......
Absolutely.
@@crow_2k11beatsbydre8 well the prices are rising thanks to "inflation" plus dealerships are the ones bumping up the price. when you buy a car get a detailed information on what the actual cost is. i was trying to get honda navi the msrp was 1899 but the dealer was trying to add fees and came out to be 4k out the door. taxes and dmv fees shouldnt be much and it should be atleast 2500 out the door. i blame this on greedy people.
05 Chevy Cobalt - A/C still works, battery changed 4 years ago, 195 000 kms , no major problems. One driver, one mechanic.
I have a 2007 Cobalt, still working great, no major repairs, just some minor stuff, I keep her maintained properly😊
Folks if your living paycheck to paycheck get Toyota or Honda and take care of it. That car will statistically will take care of you.
Honda’s motor is one of the best, but the rest of the car/truck will nickle and dime you to death.
I Agee. I've had Toyotas since the late 80s and kept them past 100k, and kept up with the maintenance recommendations which have not cost me an arm and a leg. The only times I had one in for any repair were collision related - one with a car, one with a deer.
Driving my Corolla 19.5 years. Expect 3-4 more years to go. Very little maintenance and very few repairs.
I drove my 99 Honda accord, from new to 21 years old without any issue aside from tires, and low-level maintenance issues. I bought a 2003 mini Cooper S at 64k miles as a replacement and it’s been a great experience and I’ve recently hit 100k miles without major issues. When this car dies of old age, I’ll go back to a Honda Accord.
I’m still driving my 2004 Toyota Limited 4Runner. It ‘s one that came over from Japan, is a V8 and on the truck frame, now at 380,000 miles and still going strong.
I not only enjoyed this video & learned a lot, I really appreciated it!! Much gratitude!!
Glad you enjoyed it! ❤️❤️
You are thanking an artificial intelligence narrator😂
I own a 2007 GMC Sierra 250HD CREW CAB DURAMAX.
I GET on avg 22mpg hiway. It’s now sitting at just over 345,000 miles. I use an oil by pass filtration system, Along with a FASS lift pump….& fully expect to get another 345,000 mikes…
GM’s 6.6L LBZ Motor is still the BEST Diesel motor ever built…IMO. Little to no emissions BS, little to no Automation…and I’m totally good with THAT..!!
I have a 2005 with the LLY motor. 190k miles. I am very happy with it. And am confident it will serve me well for many more years.
GM trucks were very reliable, long lasting vehicles in the early to mid 2000s. We just sold our 2003 Yukon with 189000 miles. It has one repair to the 4WD system some 12 years ago. That's it for over 20 years of use. I wouldn't touch GM products today. They are not the same quality
I had a 2006 Hyundai Sonata with the 2.4 liter, 168 hp 4 cyl engine and put on 144,000 trouble free miles before giving the car to a grand daughter. I used Synthetic oil, either Penzoil or AMSoil and the car never burned a drop. The grand daughter put another 50,000 miles on it and after NEVER changing the oil, drove it to the junk yard with just under 200,000 miles.
Women..........
Out of the will!
I have a Hyundai Elantra 2018, with about 60,000 miles. Not had a single problem with it yet. Still under warranty for 40,000 miles. Will probably hit the 10 year warranty limit before I hit the 100,000 warranty limit.
Driving a 24 model right now as a loaner it’s a nice car great tech I get 36 to 39 mpgs too
Make sure you keep your paperwork. My 2014 Sonata was great until the engine failed at 129,000miles. Hyundai replaced it due to the lawsuit settlement.
Stay away from turbo engine people, they are a problem waiting to happen.
Have a 2009 Kia Sportage with around 215,000 miles. Still runs great. Only major repair was replacing the rear shocks.
I had 08, rust killed it, back then they were competing with Toyota, now they make fashionable disposable products designed to live warranty period and disintegrate afterwards like European and Chinese cars
@@MegaNinjaMonkeyZord Keep thinking that Liberal. 07 Kia Sportage V6 4WD . Brought brand new and serviced at the Kia Dealership. 270,000 miles. Looks and drives brand new. Just routine maintenance. Needed new struts front and rear @ 100,000 miles but that’s normal. Oil changes every 3 thousands. And questions ?

Great video! Really appreciate the in-depth look at these vehicles and the clear warnings. This kind of information is invaluable for anyone looking to buy a used car, especially those on a budget. The visuals were helpful too, making it easy to understand the potential issues. Thanks for saving people from potentially costly mistakes!
Was driving my work truck, a ford f-35O. Experienced ford death wobble for the 1st time accelerating at 35 mph. Almost pulled the wheel out of my hands. Found out busted tie rod. 43,000 miles on the clock
The engine in my 2015 KIA Sorento blew at 108k, outside warranty. KIA replaced the engine, provided rental car for the 5 weeks. 2nd engine was running fine at 205k miles when I traded it in for a KIA Soul, which I really like also. KIA is alright by me! The Soul EX is a great value.
This video is very very informative of the cars that are not good performing cars. It’s good to know before I buy next car.
I got a 2016 Nissan Rogue. I’ve had it for 8 years. I got 160,000 + miles on it and still running good.
I bought my BMW X3 new and had it serviced on schedule by the dealer. The back differential started leaking at 80,000 miles and the front differential failed at 85,000 miles. Worst car I ever owned.
I've owned my 2017 GMC Sierra 2500. Use it for interstate towing and never had a problem. No oil burning, No nothing. Just regular maintenance and it's ran great.
Hyundai Azera, 10 years old and looks and runs like new. My 4th Hyundai and I love them. Very reliable.
Ram promaster city owner here. Usual battery at 4 yrs. Tires at 66k. Brakes at 92k. Currently 95k miles with a noisy wheel bearing. Other than that really reliable. Fluid filmed and oil changes at 5 k.
The only car I remember that would die by 60,000miles was the Aussie 2003 Holden TS Astra.
Brand spanking new cars, their engines were failing within the first year in massive droves.
Most cars need a timing belt every 62,000 miles.
No Astra had such bad problems that the belt would fail with a certainty around the 31,000 mile mark at the latest.
It was safest to replace at 18,000 miles at the earliest.
The belts all failed during that servicing window.
And that would include the Timing Belt, Water Pump, all pully's and bearings, Tensioner and while at it all the oil seals.
If you failed to replace the belt on time, the valves bounced off the tops of the piston heads and required $10,000 for a new head. If you were really unlucky they needed an entire engine rebuild.
It was the second biggest screw up that GM Holden made in Australia.
Both Holden and Ford were notorious for being unreliable
I have one Nissan Xtrail CVT from 2015 (year model 2015) and still run great without those problems you are mentioned !
Have a 2013 Hyundai Sonata. It is currently at the dealership getting engine diagnostics. It has 130,000 miles on it. At 60,000 miles it started consuming oil (about 1qt every thousand miles. Hyundai says this isn’t excessive. 😮😂
It has been that way the last 70,000 but has now lost compression. Honestly I’m happy to see it as the #1 on the list because it deserves it. It will be the last Hyundai I ever purchase.
Keeping the low-tech vehicles keeps them reliable and trustworthy, and they can last many decades. I have a 1975 Dodge W100 with a 440 and a 727.
Very solid, reliable truck that can go just about anywhere. It is loud, bumpy, and not that great on mpg, but I can trust it with my life, and I do. It is a beast.
I have a Nissan Rogue 2015 with 115000 kms on it and never had to bring it in for any repairs. Not even a spot of rust and I live in northern ontario where we salt the roads.
You need to put it on hoist. Customer states no idea why it shakes. Suspension and frame - gone.
2015 is a new car to me; still driving my 2002 Chevy Avalanche with over 300k, almost wish it would quit so I would have the excuse to buy another Chevy Truck, the 5.3L v8 always starts here in Maine.
Got a 2014 select about 120,000 and still going strong
I have a Kia Sportage 2.0 LX with a 120,000 mileage . No problem . Oil change every 8K on 5W-30 Castrol but no problem . NZ
Good motor oil

Please do an Oil sample on it
Thanks for sharing
It's funny how vehicles have been designed and engineered for over 100 years, yet are plagued with problems.
Too much technology in these cars. Need to scale back on that and go back to more reliably, cars that LAST. That CVT transmission has its problems. Simplicity is better.
@@alfabdall some people drive the shit out of them ‼️‼️
@@CTX700girl I agree
I've owned the 2017 Elantra since 18 and it currently has almost 110,000 miles. The engine is the 2.0L Atkinson engine and has thus far been very reliable. Only had 1 intermittent error on cylinder 3 & after replacing all coil packs months ago the error hasn't returned. I also replaced all the plugs @ just over 100, 000 miles. I hope to have this for an additional 7+ yrs.
2013 Kia Soul 130,000 miles - basic maintenance. Very simple anonymous Flintstone's car.
2014 Subaru Forrester...110,000 miles but over $10,000 in repairs (Air conditioning compressors, wheel bearings, O Rings, front axle, CVT module....etc) but some poor sucker has it now!
@@sidramone66d I have a 2010 Outback here in Maine. I fell for the marketing about being a good sturdy reliable car. I still have it, last year head gasket replaced $3k, that sucky CVT transmission has me worried; that would be $6k. Maybe Subaru WAS good, now it’s overrated.
@@paulducharme870shame when a good brand wrecks it reputation
Just traded my 2014 Outback (252,000 miles) and not a single repair. Got a 2024 Outback new, now with 12,000 miles. So far so good, but I don't like it as well as the '14.
Crosstrek was fine but crummy and mileage was crud.
I have a 2016 Nissan Rogue w/ 151,000 miles on it. Your list is your opinion, doesn't mean squat.
I agree. This list is based on no verifiable facts, and is nothing but CLICKBAIT. A Big thumbs down.
Lots of INFO ON GOOGLE ABOUT NISSAN CVT TRANNY TROUBLE
The voice talking during the video is AI, not human. Research it! Nuff said!
I think the video should have been titled with model years…I too have a 2015 Nissan Rogue, been driving Nissans since 08 and no major issues. BUT there are reports the Rogues built in 2023 have had major issues. Not sure if it had to do with going from a 4 cylinder to a 3 cylinder…but something to consider. To be fair since 2020 is when all this ‘new tech’ went rampant in these makes/models. Everyone should just do their own research…IMO
My last GM truck was back in 1996. It was the GMC Sonoma off road package a.k.a Hirider. The 4.3 was a very strong reliable V6. Did the usual maintenance (oil changes new plugs when needed & so on). The only issue was at 100 thousand miles intake gasket replacement. Kept it up thru 2009 there the truck had reached 148 thousand miles got good gas mileage. Decided to downsize into a '09 Chevy HHR SS panel with the turbo 2 liter 4. It was just 1 of 216 SS panels built i later found out. Love it.
Toyota is for sure the best vehicle in the market.
Buy a used older SUV of a good make, fix it up, and get a reliable vehicle with no payments. In 2020, I bought a 2000 Honda CRV with a blown clutch for $350. These older CRVs are simple enough that a backyard mechanic can work on them and they are good sturdy SUV's, worth putting money into. I did all the repair work myself. The major expenses were: clutch parts $500, front end parts $800, catalytic converter $1200, new tires $1200. Also replaced the still-functioning alternator, timing belt, starter, and other parts, just because I didn't want any breakdowns on the road. Total $4000. Then ran it from California to Arizona and back. Four years later, it's still a reliable vehicle, and it's still running fine at 305K, and I have no car payments. Not buying any new cars any more, they are too complicated for home mechanics to work on, and major drivetrain parts are too expensive.
I don’t know squat about the American vehicles discussed but your pretty well spot on with the JLR products. Yeah they are definitely luxurious and beautiful to drive but boy you better have deep deep pockets when it comes to workshop visits!
And a spare car for when it’s in the shop……..because they can take a long time to repair.
I bought an 05 Volvo XC90 SUV four years ago, with 180k miles. Everyone thought I was crazy to buy a vehicle this old, with this many miles. My response was that it was from the original owner with all service records and no accidents, dents, dings or rust. Plus, I only paid $3,200 for it. It just turned 200k miles and runs like a champ.
CVT problems are usually due to owner ignorance. Reading and following the service manual helps.
Nope, it's a flawed transmission
My 5 speed stick shift FORD Titanium Fiesta 2013 is the best!! Fast off the line, and have NEVER had a problem. Love it and will be driving it for many more years!
I must have gotten a gem 2013 Altima. Over 270k miles original engine and transmission. No major issues yet knock on wood
If you drive highway a lot then it’s not surprising that it’s doing well.
1998 Toyota Tacoma 4 cylinders , 5 speed manual transmission is the best 900,000 miles not a problem doing regular maintenance. 👍
A salesman told me dealerships make little money selling cars. They make a lot on fixing them. What a joke this country has become
That is correct. You forgot to add parts.
I enjoyed it. Thanks for the update. I’ll stay away from those cars.
Yeah and they said the Hyundai excel was a 100k throw away car. I got over 350k and still going

Just got a 09 equinox. 88k miles. Seller said it has headgasket issue. Been driving it for a week. Temps are fine.
Give it time. Another year or so the transmission will start to fail.
Keep an eye on your oil for coolant.
