For everyone commenting about the RX-8: I understand that the triangles were in the design because it's a rotary engine. Also, the Prius and Mustang were jokes :)

i dont agree with your reasons for not advising the Prius. the problem is if some one is going for a first car they are looking for a cheep car most of the time. a lot of Prius were not maintained well and will likely need the engine replaced if it is going for cheep, it can be replaced pretty easily but it will be several thousand dollars. and i dont think it gets any less respect than a corolla.
Yeah I should have said in the video the Prius was a joke. Apologies for not being clear, but you do bring up a good point!
it is all good man good video all the same and thanks for the reply.
Thanks!
The problem with all rotary engines, especially Mazda RXs, is that even when they're driven gently and never raced, they DRINK oil and eat clutches.
Imagine buying a 2010 Mustang V6 with 210hp and then seeing the 2011's with 305hp? Talk about a kick in the shins.
hahahahah that would be a HUGE disappointment
Hilltown the same happen to the
Genesis coupe 2012 210 hp
Genesis cope 2013 276hp
If someone bought a Mustang with a V6 they deserve it. "Muscle" cars don't have V6's.
I'd say your only problem was buying a V6 mustang. Why would you do that?
I always say if you purchase a sports car with a V 6 it's like getting a girlfriend without a vagina
Lol Mazda got triangles everywhere , lol even the engine inside is like a triangle ,,, that's what a rotor look like ,
I do, thanks. As I've stated, it was ignorance and a misunderstanding at the time. Thanks for your concern, however.
triangle are the symbol of "Pizzagate" that's why..
Just for Fun
ALFA ROMEO GOT SOME PIZZA INGREEDMENTS IN LOGO!
IS THAT SOMETHING HAS WITH POPE AND DEVIL INSIDE OF VATICAN? +
Just for Fun lol I laughed so hard when he said that so I'm thinking this guy really has no idea about cars
lvica baksa --- fucking bullshit you crap talking idiot = alfa romeo made by a doctor = you lies are crap = brain is fucked up = liar !
I have a 2006 Saab Aero 9.3. I absolutely love it! A big thank you to you for all the information your videos have given me. Keep ‘em coming!
As a landrover owner I would like to point out some things 1st it was the td5 (mostly)that had the electric issues and yes they often are unreliable but ones like mind can usually be fixed with a hammer and some duct tape but people buy them because they're one of the best off-roaders in existence
thanks for sharing
"...80 million miles to the gallon..." HAHAHA!!! 😂
Well done! 👏
thanks!
The Prius part was cringy, he was trying so hard to sound cool by hating what other car people hate. It gets good gas mileage, that's the only reason people buy it. No, it's not a car enthusiast's favorite, but there's no reason to have it on this list if all you're gonna say about it is "it's not cool"
...and it's cheap to maintain, and reliable.
Not really, it's a meme. Lighten up
That Chris guy's probably a 45 yr virgin, who cares what he thinks about a lemon lmfaoo
you forgot to mention ANYTHING FROM CHRYSLER. Nothing but epic fail junk.
Lol I assume you've had issues...
Don’t like Prius either but if it’s reliable, it’s a good car. Being disliked doesn’t mean anything
But it can be smelled from here.
I have an 09 Chevy Cobalt. These cars have been known as lemons from day one. Did not know that when I bought it. Today, it has 253, 000 miles on it, I drive it daily, and the engine is still VERY strong. Ignition system and gas tank were replaced under recall, the clutch went out at 200,000 miles, and I had to replace the air conditioner's condenser and compressor 2 years ago. I intend to drive it until the wheels fall off and when they do, I will pat the roof and say, "You've been a good one."
Wow, thanks for sharing!
This might sound weird, but the best car I've owned is a bmw 325i. 160k miles and only thing I've replaced was the starter. Good suspension, handles well. 215hp in a somewhat small car so its still pretty speedy yet gets about 30mpg. Using BMW oil does make a big difference with that engine though and I'd recommend it over any other synthetic brand to anyone with a bmw.
Awesome! BMW's can be great cars :)
Avoid Minis like the plague. Also wouldn't buy another Focus. They are notorious for dropping valve seats. My third one to avoid is Dodge Dakotas.
Good info! Thanks
Mjs S MINI is AWESOME!
Mjs S correction, only split port sohc focuses/escorts had valve seats, not dohc ztecs.
Dang my car was on this list. The Suzuki Forenza. So far I haven't had any problems. Let's hope it stays this way. I was giving it to my grandson for his first car. Thank you and great video.
Hope it stays good for you! Thanks :)
Toyota Prius here in Australia are mainly Taxi's. I have seen them with over 500,000 km on the clock.
Yep, great cars
What an idiot! The Prius is a very reliable,trendsetting,comfortable,efficient and useful car.90% of Chryslers,75% GM's,and half the new Fords are shit!Meanwhile few of them made it on this retarded list.No Toyota cars/trucks should be on this or ANY unreliable list of any kind!!!
231gnx he didn't say it was a bad car it's just gay to drive one. It's not a mans car
I have a 2004 mustang v6 i bought in 2006 I still have it till this day. I havnt had any major problem except for my temp gauge not working once. It now has 225,000 miles on it and i started with 59,000. It was my first car and still my only car. Its pretty reliable and i definitely got my moneys worth
That's awesome! It made the list as a joke anyways :)
21deangelo I feel sorry for you you must shit your pants when a corner comes up
You trashed the Toyota Prius. I was with you until you made the mistake of dismissing a car that I have owned two of and never had one single maintenance problem simply because you didn't like it's curb appeal. My first Prius has 165,000 miles and the front disc brakes have never been replaced. I replaced the back drum brakes at 85,000 just for the fun of it. The car may not have the looks of a Ferrari, but for people who do want a maintenance free car that gets 45 to 53 mile per gallon, there is no car made that is even close. Oh by the way we gave my son a choice between a 2013 Honda Civic with 23,000 miles or the 2014 Prius with 27,000 miles, he opted immediately for the Prius.
Most of the Mustang fail videos are about the V-8s, and corresponding IDIOT DRIVERS. From the comments, this video apparently has some bias, rather than being objective.
Ya
Sorry, but your only complaint about the Prius is that it does not impress other "car guys"? Guess what, the kind of car guy whose opinions matter to me are those who know the mechanics inside and out and discuss them on the basis of functionality. Styles come and go, and, anyway, the people who are offended are on the outside (or soon will be if I offered them a ride and then they want to criticize). I do not have a Prius, and there are other green cars I would rather have, but if it is the only one in my price range, style is not a big consideration.
It was a joke; apologies for the confusion
The Prius isn't even that ugly, it's just... well, it's a Prius. Looks better than a Multipla at least.
Lol I suppose
Shang Hai the hell are you saying? its hideous and makes me wanna strangle myself with my own penis in public
I agree. People just love to hate it...
I'm sure it's not as serious as that. It's a car, an inanimate object that transports people from point A to point B. I do care about the environment, we all should, but that's not why I drive one..I love that it's reliable, gets GREAT MPG and I happen to find it cute. I just don't understand the need for so much animosity? To each their own.
Shang Hai That's not true! The new ones are some of the ugliest in history !!!
My dad had a 2000 Land Rover Discovery and never broke down, but when he sold it the new buyer (after they bought the vehicle) looked under it and noticed the ENTIRE frame was rusted SO bad the entire thing had to be replaced and costed more than the vehicle ITS SELF
jeez...
I'm over here in my 89' Honda Accord😢
Haha no shame in that
Hey I've seen you
You've seen me
Lmao 95 civic here
You've seen me I had two of those! amazing!!
My family used to own a '92 Honda Accord. Sold it off in the past 4 years. Never had any engine problem, only timing belt, alternator, etc. I miss the 2.2 VTEC engine though.
As a former owner of a 2001 MINI I agree that it had issues. The CVT transmission was awful but so was the manual Midlands transmission. If you are in the market for a first generation MINI definitely go for the slightly facelifted models from mid 2004 and later. They had the new transmissions and some more improvements.
Wow, sorry to hear!
My '07 V-6 Mustang runs great and is only 10 hp less than the GT. Glad the Mustang was a joke. I'd rather die then drive a Prius though ... 🏎
Lolol, glad you understood the joke, and I'm happy the you like your mustang!
Don Z Dryver I have, am 01 mustang
TheManInDboX, You're right. Mine is 210 hp and the GT is rated at 300 hp. The V-6 is still a lot of fun to drive and feels more powerful.
mustang v6 is good, easy to work on, easy to mod, and its more powerful than other v6s of its time. I love it.
Don not everyone wants to drive a gas guzzler Mustang. Not only does it get great gas mileage but it is very reliable, not to mention the savings on your auto insurance. There are a lot more reasons that I'm sure you don't want to hear but who cares about hp when there are still speed limits.
i just subscribed because i saw your comment on saabkyle video but this is true never buy these vehicle's by any means
Thanks! Glad you liked it :)
I’m sure some people would probably like to beg to differ with me, but here are a couple of cars from the early 90s to the 2000s that make good used cars. Actually, they are not models, they’re rather an engine that is a pretty much bulletproof engine to run in a car. They are the GM L27, L82
thanks for sharing!
Of course.
I have a Prius that is 11 years old and it has never had any problems. My brother had one and put 300,000 miles on his before he traded it in on another Prius. I don’t care that teenagers don’t like them. They are well built and have few problems.
Nice!
Never had any issues with my 80 Mazda RX7, except the jerk that cut me off and totaled it.
Sorry to hear about the crash!
@@AutoAutopsy Me too, I loved that car with a passion! lol
Had one, loved it .Quick and nimble(for the time). Mileage wasn't great, but you can't have everything.
All those Suzuki forenza issues revolve around the timing belt not being done on time. This engine is in the chevy aveos too. The mileage interval for timing belt replacement is 60k miles I think. It's clearly stated in an owner's manual. Since it's an interference engine, the valves smack the pistons, etc.
interesting, thanks!
90s V6 3.4 and 3.8 GM engines, nothing but head gasket and intake gasket problems, usually started around 80K and they put the same V6 in just about everything they made around that time.
Thanks for sharing
I'm a car guy and I love my Prius! And you really gave NO bad points about the car (except that you hate it). Much of your list was pretty good, I thought. Cheers!
Awesome :) It was a joke, and is a great car as you stated!
Shoot i’m a car ethicists and a full time college student, yet my first car I got was a blue Prius bought it when it had 90k miles and till now 200k+ miles and yet no major maintenance I have many haters and to be honest I felt like shit. Thx to the Prius MPG I was able to buy myself a royal blue LEXUS RCF F series and pull aside my hater and smoked their asses.
It’s a great car for a beginners to experience the roads and traveling. Haters say it’s not a love able car because they know that you’ll probably get better cars in the future by saving up all those gas money.
Cool!
I wasted $5000AUD on a used high mileage Discovery. I bought it instead of an immaculate old shaped BMW 318i coupe.
Disco was high kms and on lpg gas conversion. Needed to replace engine soon after buying the car. Another $2500.
Regretted that decision ever since.
Wow, thanks for sharing. Sorry to hear
Lmao at 8:16 that shit is hilarious lol, good list dude yu obviously did ur research I've heard bad things about most the cars on this list, gona check out part 2 now👍👍✌
Expensive

RX-8's are largely fine as long as you keep on top of the oil. Rotary engines consume a lot of it and damaging wear happens quickly within the engine if the oil isn't monitored very frequently. So many used examples are ruined because of people who don't ever check their oil or ran the car blindly without bothering to look at recommended servicing intervals or when the oil needs to be checked/replaced. The car can hardly be blamed for poor ownership and owners who are too lazy to carry out the basic weekly/fortnightly/monthly checks that everybody should do on any car.
Sadly a full engine rebuild/refurbish costs around £2500-£3000 which is why so many RX-8's are dirt cheap or sitting in scrapyards. If you can get one that has been properly looked-after however and are clued-up on how to maintain it then the major issues should never really be a problem.
Yep, good point!
9:13 TAKUKEN means "take the dick" in Scandinavian languages:D
HAHAHHA
Being a Brit I am noticing the number of British cars here...remember we also made the most beautiful car ever....the Rover SD1
Hmm
I disagree with you on the Toyota Prius, it's the most reliable, fuel efficient, the best transportation ever made, I get disappointed at the end of your list.
it's a joke.
It is all about personal expirience,I changed about 100 cars till now and the worst for me was Audi,BMW and Kia.I never had problems with japanese cars.
thanks for sharing
Thank you kid, I am currently looking for a used car to give to my daughter who's going to college and your video is gonna help me in my decisions.
:)
After reading the comments I'm thinking about buying a Prius apparently they have a very big fan club. From my experience the reliability of a car depends on the previous owners well maintained vehicles no matter what the make are reliable do the Carfax money well spent
Watch out for mileage; the batteries will most likely need to be replaced at some point!
Battery is 2 grand.
Also remind people that today 2019, the car dealerships are getting crazy, I bought in May, drove it off the lot with all parts on the car, after 30 days my car parked in front of my apartment, while I’m sleeping, they came and took parts off my motor, so everything that I had is no longer on the car, yes I took pictures please believe me they took all my pictures off my phone and put 4 pictures that I didn’t take on my phone the way it is now, I took about 20 or 30 pictures I only had 4 pictures to show, so people beware of this too, take pictures on your new used car with a throw away camera I will used a throw away camera for now on.. I don’t want no one else taking like I did.
Wow! Sorry to hear about that
you forgot to mentioned when that Stang did that 180 it was the driver not the car. 2nd Ford has been making Mustang automatic V6s since the late 80s. And that same combo V6 and automatic transmissions from the 90s were also in the Ford Thunderbird and the Mercury Cougar. Plus those V6s would flat out keep up with a 302 until around 137 mph when they are in the Cougar LS. Plus Ford has been making 5 speed automatic transmissions since the 90s so has GM
It was a joke.
Fixing my V6 2004 Mustang now as we speak... But it is 2017
Nice!!
Derwin da Destroyer - Did you hit a curb leaving a car show?
Chrysler PT Cruiser
Chrysler Sebring
Chevrolet HHR
Kia Rio
Toyota Prius (I know you mentioned it, but it deserves a double mention)
Early Ford Explorer
Those would be my picks.
Good additions :) Many of those are in the later videos in this series
Yeah, I didn't notice that until after I commented. sorry!
No problem! It's always funny to hear people add stuff that's already in later videos, lol
Also include any vw with a 2.0t engine ..they blow up without warning and vw doesn't care ...make you pay 6000 dollars for used motor that can do it again anytime
Lol alright
I am 63 years old this is not my first time around for buying cars but I subscribe all the more reason to subscribe!🙂
Thanks Dottie!
The Prius is pretty cool actually, I'd never get one as my only vehicle but they aren't bad.
I'd agree :) It was a joke
do a video on the quality of a 2004 Infiniti G35 coupe
If I can find one I will :)
Spike George those are really great cars. Even high mileage ones
The g35 are trash get a g37
Deion Schneider cant speak on g37 since I never owned one. But I paid $2000 on my 35 and it is still a great car at 180k if u keep with maint. g37 will be upwards of $7k to $35k depending on year so it really depends on your budget. U could buy 3 g35's before you can afford 1 g37.
If ur looking for a reliable first car, i reccomend a 2000-2005 c class, really good cars
mercedes? you sure? lol
thank god I bought a 1995 Chevrolet impala ss
Sounds like a fun ride!
+Auto Autopsy sure it is I also have a 2002 Chevrolet suburban
+Auto Autopsy btw what's your ride
I have two cars; they're both on the channel if you're interested!
+Auto Autopsy so your a Saab guy yea
I'm not crazy about the Prius but I would drive a cheese wedge if I thought I could get that kind of mileage I could give a s*** who would laugh hell I would drive a donut if I thought I could get that kind of gas mileage hell I put wheels on you and drive you if I thought I could get that kind of gas mileage but it's funny nevertheless
Lol, true! It was a joke :)
Dont agree with your list , the prius and v6 mustang dont belong on the list, prius is super reliable and holds its valve, not everyone is looking for a head turner or have a need for speed, and i have seen v6 mustangs with 300kmiles on them with just basic maintenance,
👀
Fair point, Dan! Check the pinned comment
The rx8 is reliable if you arent stupid about it. You have to put a quart of oil in every couple weeks, don't start the car then shut it off before warming it up and do all the normal car maintenance
It's not the best daily driver, which is what I'm trying to say
Not bad vid, but check with the Auzzy about Rover 4x4 range, they don't get a 1/4 of the problems with cars as they do in the USA. It could be just down to the way the car is driven, like taking a 4x4 on a long road trip at speeds, 4x4 are not for this kind of use, they are designed for rough terrain at lower speeds, check with the middle east and see the 4x4 that are used mostly there, you will find Land Rovers and Range Rover are the most popular.
I will say this low, British cars on the whole have gone down hill a lot since the break up of the state nationalise industry.
Wow, thanks for sharing :)
Auto Autopsy the majority of the problems you mentioned about the vehicles you're talking about all come down to one thing. That has been mentioned elsewhere and by others on your channels comment section and that's just owners who either deliberately ignore or just don't bother to do regular maintenance. If you don't keep an eye on your oil levels and other essential fluid levels like coolant or even not making sure that the coolant is up to snuff. and is capable of doing the job it was made for which is not boiling over or freezing because it's too old and should be replaced. Just going from what I've seen of the way the manufacturers are essentially hiding the engine from view under a ton of plastic panelling and far more electronic garbage and wiring to the point that you have to wonder if there's actually an engine under all of it, or if it's nothing more than a rubber band that someone has to wind up to power your cars. Take away all of that nonsense and you'll see less overheating due to more air flow is there to help cool the engine, not to mention the driver when ever they open the hood will see that they have an engine that they have to keep an eye at every fill up for tuel on the amount of oil in the pan, not to mention most gas station attendants from my era would do that for you as part of the job and if you were low they's suggest topping it up or doing an oil change just from the color and smell of the oil on the dipstick. Add to that the fact that most gas stations are now self serve and no one instructs the basics of maintenance like just checking the oil levels and the Automatic Transmission fluid. If a transmission is low on fluid or it and the filters for it haven't been done when recommended that will lead to issues like hard shifting, delays in the transmission going into gear, which is likely made worse as the computer controlled shifters if the circuit boards get too hot due to the environment of lack of airflow under the car then they won't operate properly as the computers are temp sensitive regarding the programs and glitches resulting from excess heat. To that add that if the mechanical linkages which do the actual work of the shifting if those get worn with just plain age you will get slippage and most transmissions need to have the ATF or gear oil changed on regular basis and with automatics there are filters to keep contaminants to a minimum but those don't last forever than not changed or cleaned the transmission will fail due to the contamination of the fluid with the likes of metallic fragments a result of regular wear and tear and that will lead to premature failure of the transmission and engines.
Good point; maintenance is extremely important. However, I still believe some cars are worse than others
The triangles are rotors tip to the rotary engines.
Correct!
Interesting video. I own a 2013 Boss Mustang. love what the hell.
Probably cuz I'm a middle-aged man I drive the Mustang more sensibly than most people would reference kids but it's still a cool car head turner and sounds super tough thank you
Haha, nice! It was a joke :)
You are so right about the Land Rover they are a problem and expensive to fix no one knows how to work with it 🤪 thank you so much this really helps people out there 😊👌 I have a Toyota Corolla 2,06 is another headache but I rather deal with a Toyota that you can always fine parts for it still got it anything over 1000 mileage there’s going to be problems try and get a new car if u can and even with some new cars be careful after the warranty you have to pay out of pocket 🤪
yep!
I had a Suzuki Forenza. Never failed on me with the engine. But the blown head gaskets were a big problem. I miss that shitcar. It wasn't too reliable but I still loved it.
lol, glad you enjoyed the car :)
thumbs up for trashing the Prius.
;)
Your Prius at number one is fucked up. I am no Prius fan, but they are generally good cars. Putting that at number one means you left out some really and truly bad cars.
Fair point; It was included as a joke and I apologize for the lack of clarity
1990’s Ford/Mercury Taurus/Sable...even well maintained with low mileage, nothing but problems.☹️. I should know I owned one of each. Taurus transmission replaced under warranty at 28k miles, it completely failed. Sable complete power steering failure and fan sensor issues.🙄
yikes...
Never buy any car. Just buy a donkey and drive without any issue. :-P
Lel
you right never buy any car just buy a donkey
Donkeys get sick too...
Get a horse! more power, visibility and not near as stubborn.
@@phedem9529 treatment is not expensive like vehicle repairing. 😂
If you want a car that will last 200k+ miles stick with Toyota or Honda
Honda and Toyota do make good cars. They've got their share of problems though. No car is perfect. I think a lot of it is how you maintain your vehicle. I've got a '94 Honda Accord LX with about 315,000 miles on it. It still runs good, but it leaks oil and burns a little oil too. I've got a 2001 Pontiac Grand Am SE1 with about 230,000 miles on it. It doesn't leak or burn any oil yet, but the interior on the Pontiac has had a lot more issues than the Honda. Both have been well maintained and have been very reliable vehicles for me and my wife. They've also both had their share of both major and minor repairs. The Honda needed a new radiator, alternator, several timing belts, wheel bearings, A/C blower motor, radiator fan motor, oil pan gasket, ignition switch, driver-side power window switch, A/C compressor, distributor ignitor, and brake master cylinder. The Pontiac needed an intake manifold gasket, an alternator, front wheel bearings, anti-lock brake wiring harness, a vacuum hose, front radiator hoses, driver-side power window switch, heater core hose fitting, starter motor, dash vinyl repair, body control unit, ignition switch, EGR valve, and replacement side mirrors. This was over the 13 year time period we've owned these vehicles.
KungFuChess in the eu you want a skoda or a volvo
KungFuChess all my chevy pickups has under 300k and still running. like a rock
KungFuChess VW
KungFuChess lol ive owned two Dodges, a Mazda(with a Ford 2.2) and a GMC and all of them had over 250k and i ran them hard as hell
You forgot the Chrysler pt cruiser!!
Check part 2 :)
Definitely the worse car I've EVER owned!
Lol yes the PT Cruiser does Sucks!!!!
Pt cruisers look like mini hursts for midgets
Derek Sylvester And the Chrysler 200
Triangles? On a rx8? Ohhh you mean the rotory symbols xD
Yep!
Yeah really... THis guy doesn't know anything about what he's talking about
IT'S PART OF THE ILLUMINATI
Agreed... :)
The RX8 got whipped worse than Kunta Kintay. that thing is a major piece of shit.
can't go wrong with Honda civic, accord, Toyota corolla, camery
Some older accords have CVT problems
Auto Autopsy 2000 accord have CVT problems?
AyoBrey year 2000 accords don’t have cvts but do have issues with there automatic transmissions going out, especially with the v6 versions
2001 BMW 328i and they’re easy to break into.
Luis Perera yep you can break into one with a screw driver
Im just going to stick with Japanese cars, cheap AND reliable.
Can't argue with that!
Auto Autopsy my neighbor has that Land Rover the White you showed in the video
HappyListener50 You and your husband must live in Atlanta with that 2 hour commute. That shit is horrible. LA is pretty bad too. But no place in this country has traffic like ATL
Facts. Even NY has better traffic than ATL nowadays.
umm.. Japanese cars atre not cheap
The best used car I ever bought, was a 2005 Volvo S60
Solid buy!
Perry M. Haha I just had to pull over to help a girl with a 2008 s60 whose car had stopped working unexpectedly. It's the first time I've ever seen a Volvo go out
Hunter DePriest Yeah that is weird. Volvos are like tanks. I've never seen one just up and quit before.
Volvos are super well made
Perry M. how bout new Volvo s they as good as older models
what about the pt cruiser that shit is junk
Watch part 2
Henry Fuentes
Amen. My wife just had to have one. So I plunked down $1000, waited six months. What I got for my money and patience was the sorriest excuse for a car ever made. It was the Yugo's big brother. Problems with the computers, the dash cracking, the turn radius of a aircraft carrier, the ride similar to what one would experience driving a bicycle on railroad ties. We finally sold the piece of crap after 4 years for 20% of what we paid for it, and felt like we made the deal of the century. The guy didn't realize I would have paid him to take the damn thing!! Oh yeah, it was the most expensive, top of the line model the made. Leather, Turbo, Chrome rims, heated seats, premium sound system, etc. Basically, whip cream on dog crap.
My sister in law purchased a pt cruiser used and had many problems but my friend purchased one new and still have it because she gets it checked out and work done on it to keep it kept up.
vcalibur1 they don't make them new tho
As far as the Prius goes, it's probably the most reliable car in the group and the most boring car one could own. But to it's credit it's cheap to work on, parts are relatively inexpensive and a good car for people who want cheap transportation and are not car enthusiasts and are interested in only going from pt. A to pt. B. Besides all of that, women will like it more than men and they'll probably treat it like their pet.
Great point, lol!
Cheap and looks it.
The Camry looks more boring - boringer.
@@simonjesuit3844 gf
ummm Mustang really I have one and it got 220000 miles and still going strong
It was a joke
Alberto Palomares lol it was a joke, the Mustang is extremely reliable
not if you can drive, try an old rwd volvo on snow, fucken beasts on snow those 240s
Alberto Palomares 👌
lol about the Prius. I would never buy it but man do they last forever and are some of the most reliable cars I've seen. I've know a couple people that's put over 250k miles on it without any issues whatsoever.
Yep they're insanely reliable but I have no respect for them lol
YOU CANNOT BEAT A PRIUS
Musicizmyremedy I own one , it's a great car. I have 245k miles and it still runs great. Especially because my job is 45 miles away from my house. It's a ugly car but you'll save a huge amount of money , so either way your winning .

ruben angulo can't argue with that. It's very reliable and great fuel economy, but just something that most car enthusiasts don't like haha
Never buy any Dodge Stratus, Sebring, Chrysler.. Long 4 door cars. The front ball joints/front end suspension dies fast
Yep, check part 2 ;)
nate8930 I got five yen if you are interested?
depends on the years also.. and ALL cars wear out front ends. cant get away from it.. they are designed to fail.. how do you think parts stores stay in business !!!! and my 07 Dodge Magnum built on the Chrysler 300 chassis has no issues with front end...
yeah had an 06 stratus sxt 4dr, was our fam car for a decade, JUST sold it last month, and not because it was broke or wrecked but because we needed a bigger family vehicle and it's STILL a good reliable car.
the dodge stratus coupe sxt & r/t are the acception. they are great. (Mitsubishi engine) only problem is the brakes wearing quickly. Oh and the 5 disc changer ut had is garbage and should always be replaced.
My Audi TT was horrible with reliability. Now I have a Lexus.
Dee Kuz smart move going to a Japanese brand if reliability was an issue for you
Auto Autopsy Yes sir. Thanks!
Dee Kuz 😂😂😂 great move homie. German cars are endless money pit machines. They loose soo much money in depreciation and fall apart when they get old which is why they are not worth buying, unless you are a millionaire and don't care about burning money. a lot of people these days lease them, and then get rid of them when the lease is up. While Toyota/Lexus is the complete opposite.
Yep, Japanese/Asian cars tend to hold their value much better
Eman 08 Money pits with most German cars. They are great cars its just way too high maintanence, kind of like a German supermodel. Lol
Dude, the Triangles are the actual shape of a rotary engine Rotors which act as pistons in a conventional engine.
I've come to realize that now. Ignorance got me at the time haha
Mark-Anthony Hodges Virtual pistons instead of reciprocating pistons
My first car was a 1978 Nova. That thing leaked everything but gas but it was bulletproof and nothing stopped it!
Awesome!
I_H8_Unknown_Callers ha! True
Its not bulletproof if it leaks everything.
KJBPSkipper bulletproof means the engine not having any mechanical issues....
This all sounds reasonable except the Prius. The most popular car and I shouldn't buy it. It gets great gas mileage and you list no actual operational problems and I shouldn't buy it. Huh??? I'll get zero respect from anyone who has the slightest interest in cars. Who cares? If it get me where I need to go and doesn't empty my wallet at the pump, what's their respect going to buy me? I get no respect from them? They can go fly a kite in a thunderstorm.
Lol, it was on the list as a joke
Kelly Rayburn You know those batteries in your cell phone or laptop? you know the ones that no longer keep their charge and you are constantly plugging your old phone into the mains so it doesn't die? 😀 Well that's your Honda prius in a few years time.
Guess it's not a hybrid anymore if you end up lugging the extra weight of dead batteries around all the time. But at least you can still avoid the congestion charge in London. Which is the real purpose of a prius, let's be honest.
Kelly Rayburn, beautifully stated with more intelligence than the host who needs to grow a pair.
yeah I got to love that Honda Prius LOL
but he has a point..
you should never by a Chevy cavalier I own one
I have heard mixed things. They're cheap and there's a ton on the road, which goes to show that they have potential to last a while
The Cavalier with the 2.2 litre GERMAN ENGINE is a good car. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GM_Ecotec_engine
Michael Mendoza they are not the most appealing car but they are super reliable in my opinion, why don't you like yours?
My friend bought one with 200k miles on it he takes it to work every day never breaks on him lol the motor is small kind of funny anyways that car I can tell you do last long my friend cavalier doesn't leak oil and runs like a champ
Michael Mendoza Just sold mine! 😂😂
never ever ever ever buy a Lincoln ls. i don't care if it has 10k miles that care will give you headaches
Jose Pena if you dont know what your doing. i got 2. they run fine.
Chris Law your 2 Lincolns ls DO NOT represent all the horrible Lincolns ls' every manufacturer. Your logic loses to statistics.
bboymonk3y thank you and they call thereself a reliable car company I understand if you have one or two major problems down the line that's a fine automobile but that Ls is a different stories and to be honest I think he is lying I never seen a survive Ls unless it's put up
Jose Pena in my parents neighborhood they call us the Lincoln Mafia we love them town cars everywhere Thanksgiving 4.6 bulletproof Motors mom has a 95 Town Car hundred one hundred twenty eight thousand miles never had a check engine light come on
Jose Pena yes I've owned a 2001 ls 3.9 v8 and nothing but problems. I'll stick with my cadillacs from now on.
as if you give me the money...I'll buy what my mind tells me
Honestly, yes. At the end of the day, you should still buy what you want, regardless of what others think!
I'll buy what my HEART tells me!
oh well shit i own a freelander
Hahahaha, just make sure to take good care of it
Shrek I own the Freelander 2. TD4 2.2lt diesel. 2007 model. it was considered as very reliable vehicle, yes parts are a bit expensive but there is nothing wrong with this vehicles reliability.
Auto Autopsy should have done his homework because it is the Freelander 1 that had many issues.
Shelbi Milne-Gadd I am glad someone pointed this out! Pictures of the FL2 do not belong in this video when it was the original FL that was notorious for reliability. My FL2 is just perfect.. 👌
nice my is a 2006 FL2 td4 2.0 automatic diesel
dohhhh
Jags had problems all the time.
Thanks for sharing
The 05-10 six cylinder Mustang catches a lot of crap from enthusiasts, largely b/c the previous generation V6 models were absolute turds, but it's really not a bad car for a younger buyer seeking something inexpensive and reliable yet good looking and sporty.
For 05-10 the 4.0L SOHC Cologne V6 came over from truck duty in Ranger/Explorer and is a robust engine which produces a healthy 240lb/ft of torque @ 3500RPM and is perfectly happy running on cheap 87 octane pump gas. Now 210hp doesn't look like much on paper, but paired with the 5-speed automatic the V6's 0-60 and quarter mile times are within a half a second of the 99-04 automatic GTs. It also puts you in company of popular sport compacts from that generation like the 06-11 Civic Si & 02-06 Sentra SE-R Spec V. The early 2.0 Turbo Hyundai Genesis Coupe and the Scion FR-S/Toyota 86/Subaru BRZ are also similar performers.
The car obviously has the iconic retro Mustang look, and if you can get one of the rare "Pony Package" models you'll find its handling is enhanced by having the GT's wheels & suspension from the factory. Also note that insurance on the V6 is going to be substantially less than on a GT, especially for younger drivers.
If you are a tuner/modder there are a plethora of options available to fit most any budget. You're never going to be Speed Racer with 500hp under the hood, but intake, exhaust and a tune along with upgraded wheels and tires will have the car looking good, sounding good and performing well for a small amount of money spent.
Where regular maintenance is concerned the 4.0L, being a truck engine, is durable and reliable. Oil changes can be performed in the driveway with basic tools and there is plenty of room under the hood to get at spark plugs & etc. without breaking your neck or needing special equipment. The only major gripe I've seen from owners is that the thermostat housing is plastic and will crack and start leaking after a while, so keep an eye on your coolant level. But this part is located on the upper front of the engine and is easy to replace with basic tools.
So if you are in the market for an inexpensive sporty coupe that won't break your wallet with insurance cost or repair bills you might just want to give the 05-10 six cylinder Mustang another look.
Yes, it was on the list as a joke. Good points
GM had FAR too many recalls so Camaro was out and Mopar is a mut and priced too high so a humble mustang made sense. {plus I had already had a 68' 69 camaro and a 70 challenger but never a mustang}
New cars these days are trash all sensors my mom car wouldn't let me drive it due to a bad tcs I'll stick to my 20 year old ls400
Haha my friend has an LS400! His channel is Crazy Cam Driver
AH THE LEXUS LS400 FROM 1990-2000 THE UCF10 & UCF20 THE BEST CARS EVER BUILT. I HAVE A 1995 LS400 OUTSIDE & WILL NEVER SELL IT. CAR HAS 391,000 MILES AND GOING STRONG. I DID SWAP THE TRANS OUT ONCE
Old GM's never die,
modern production aims toward planned obsolescence. if it's not the car itself, then it's all of the digital controls drowned inside the infotainment system.
20 years ago people said the samething about those cars.
For someone buying their first car, and not wanting to spend a lot of money; Toyota Corolla or Camry. Yes, they are boring as hell, but they're also super-reliable.
Yp! Good point!
justsomeguytoyou Also Avalon. One of the top rated in reliability.
You're right. I had a 2000 Toyota Camry. Absolutely no issues before 180000 miles. Finally got rid of it in 2015 at 237000 miles. Super boring, but a great vehicle to get from point A to B. I would recommend to anyone.
There are cheaper more reliable alternatives and not boring.
Like what, Carlos?
Enjoying the videos as i just got a Saab 93 and love it . So keep up the good work...But over the years had many Land Rovers disco's and Freelander's towing my Caravan all around the country with ease and never let me down.. In my opinion Land Rovers are great !!
nice!
Same we have a 4 speed automatic discovery from 2000 and we've had it for 6 years and only 2 things have gone wrong
Also have SAAB 9-3 (turbo convertible) 21 years old in very good condition. Seen a few around, all i even better shape than mine. Had a Volvo, thought it good but not in the same league as Saab.
Amazed that parts are so cheap!
As a mechanic i would like to add,
dont buy anything with a rotory engine, cylinder deactivation technology, cvt tranny, used hybrid unless batteries have been replaced with oem, or GDI
If you do buy GDI you need to use ethenol free gasoline.
If you buy something with cylinder deactivation, make sure it can be disabled or you will have oil burning eventually
If you buy a cvt tranny, the oil has to be changed every 40K at maximum
the lincoln LS/Jag s type suffered from valve cover gasket issues, flooding the coils with oil, and Ive seen the tranny need rebuilding at 100K in the s type
Best not to buy anything with a ford tranny to begin with.
Suzuki with the ecotec motor (pontiac wave, chevy aveo) had issues with waterpumps taking out the t-belt, which was a weak link to begin with, so you have to change t-belt/wp every 50K miles
Cant comment on older land rovers, but newer range rover use bmw n62 engine and are like any german engineered car-great till warranty runs out and then needs complete overhaul, new gaskets, seals, etc, etc. This is expected and normal in europe.
Pulsating brakes do not make a car unsafe-just annoying as hell.
mini cooper-oil capacity of only 4.5 liters and the oil life index is 15K, and people honestly believe that you can go that long btwn oil changes, idiots.
and this is why people buy new and have car payments instead of paying a monthly repair bill.
Thanks for all of the info!
Good sir, what do you think about a 2010 Lincoln MKT? I heard horror stories about the suspension and transmition issues that it has. Yet I heard that some Lincoln models are super like the town car that's why they stopped making them (2011 last year) so can we safely assume that mkt's since their last producing year was 2016 that means that they are good mechanically and don't have much issues like the town car?
Mkt are ok, same as a Ford edge, if you buy an all wheel drive make sure it has an updated transfer case/pto with drain and change the fluid once a year minimum, also hopefully it would have had the driveshaft replaced with a serviceable unit, otherwise put away about 2K for those two repairs.
3.0 v6 engines are good, they're timing chain so you have to change oil regularly.
If you live in rust belt make sure it's been under coated, gas tank is about 2K, stupid expensive for some reason.
NEED ADVISE ON VOLVO- XC70- OR V70 OR S70-S60?
LOOKING AT ONE I KNOW THEYRE PRICY
Mrdubomb. if you bought a Saturn Vue with the cvt Trans it went out on you in the first 40k. the main counter haft bearing failed and the shaft started wobbling making grinding noises till it finally grinded off the case detents for the c-clip that held the reverse clutch pack in place.. and all the sudden you lost reverse gear... the a few miles down the road the steel belt snapped and you lost forward.. gm ended up replacing the trans but the warranty was only extended to 80k. well your trans failed at 85k same issue and now they want you to spend 5k for a trans and a used junkyard one will run you up to 3k and rebuilding it is not a option because the case is damged so what do you do?? well if it still drives forward you sell it to the next moron for $800. so every car has its own specific issues.. the rule of thumb for this is if it's the first 2 year of some new technology in it it's probably prone to issues and bugs... but usually after 3 years all the issues are addressed. for example only Saturn vue that had this issue was the 2004 and halfway through 2005 with the 2.4 ecotec engine. the they went back to conventional Trans. the ultimate solution was GENERAL MOTORS finally trashed the whole saturn line of garbage vehicles in 2010 and fired everyone involved in it.
Still hazy on the hate for Prius. You don't state a reason other than styling (which I like) and lack of street cred, which to me is a plus, as I have no interest in looking like a boy racer. Can you at least name a mechanical problem with the Prius to give us a real, non-subjective reason not to buy it.

9 CARS YOU SHOULD NEVER BUY, FROM A TEENAGERS PERSPECTIVE
And what's wrong with that? Research goes a long way. Open your eyes
Jason Rothermel yep ! That is a good point ! He reads an article from a mag before doing videos or what?
Aside from the smack talk on the mustang and proud at the end it's a pretty good rundown of cars with major design/assembly flaws.
Are you in a Saab doing this video?
Jason Rothermel I won't lye I'm only 17 and im agreeing with what all he said so far
NEVER BUY AN OLD BMW. EVER
They're hit and miss from what I've seen
Auto Autopsy well mine was a hit for about a month. Now it’s cheaper to buy a new engine then get the repairs done.
you really gotta do the research on them, I dug deep and I have had the pleasure of daily driving an E39 for the last year, It's the best car I have ever driven! does it need maintenance TLC, YES! and it gets spendy but suck it up its an ultimate driving machine you gotta pay to play!
>Doesn't care about spending efficiently
>Ultimate driving machine
>Old, used luxury car
I have an e39 530i and it's amazing car. The best of all the cars I've had.
Most of what he said was general knowledge to us car guys. Most cars are pretty much up to standard when leaving the factory. It's in the hands of the dealer, and future owner that shit gets fucked up. I come from a family of car enthusiast so my dads 2000 Chevy Impala is running strong with 300k miles on it. Why?, because all out vehicles are properly "maintained". But you'll have some "car incompetent" soccer moms who go 40k miles without a oil change in there Pathfinder, and all of a sudden "Nissan makes shitty cars." Gtfoh
Lol yeah.
Kenny Ellsworth fucking soccer moms while husbands at work.
"It looks like a cheese wedge, and it drives like one. LMAO
;)
Belated addition would have to be the 1998-2005 Passat (B5), or A4. Great when they weren't self destructing. The 2.8 v6 leaked oil like no other. 1.8T had sludge issues. Too many other problems to mention. Beautiful design horribly executed.
jeez...thanks for the addition!!
Just buy the 1.9 tdi
I've got a 2010 Toyota Prius with 387,000 miles. I haven't had a single problem other than wear and tear.
awesome!
comin up on 400k and not a single date since
Does it come with a dental dam?
I have no idea how you showed up on my feed but I am so glad you did. This was a great video, thank you.
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed
You forgot to mention the hummer h2..or any there after..purse carrier. pavement pounder.. giant tampon box..
Hahaha, if you haven't seen doug demuro's video on the H2, got watch it right now. Quality stuff
Have you even driven the current PRIUS? Yes, the old ones were a bit ponderous. The new one drives well, corners well has great initial acceleration, can keep up with normal traffic just fine. It is one of the cheapest cars with a suite of safety gear, AEB, LDA and Active Cruise Control down to zero km/hr.
The Aussie motoring magazines give a put-down for just about every EV or Hybrid, including PRIUS.
But recently, the Premium magazine had one for a 3 month extended test, which they ended with "a dynamic, enjoyable and - of course - extremely economical five-seater with ample boot space and practicality to go with its green credentials."
Well used by TAXIs, and getting fabulous mileage, and maintenance is very low compared with other similarly sized vehicles - eg. brakes last almost forever, even with TAXI drivers. The Hybrid Synergy Drive could likely go forever, unlike many of the complex transmissions (belt, twin-clutch, or multi-geared) in similar sized cars today - many of which won't be worth repairing while PRIUS still has a warranty on the battery (8-10 yrs). And, the reality is that it is 2-2½ times more economical than other cars of it's size. Really - mine
Yes, it could be better - take off the ECO tyres and put on some Sporty ones, makes a difference, (but uses a bit more fuel).
Thanks for sharing! Check out the pinned comment
There's two things ; if the donkey don't Like you, BEWARE !!!!....better
If the donkey dislike you, BEWARE !!!!!.....better get a horse !!! No 2 ; nice to see, the Prius has such a GOOD gas-milage !.....but !.... if you FLOOR the accelerator, .... is it then heavy on GAS ?

My thoughts are, you buy a vehicle that will suit your life style.
At the end you will be happy.
Thanks.
I agree!
You forgot to include, and what your budget can afford for maintenance cost.
Dodge neon
Reliable foreign cars are Toyota's, Hondas, as far as Nissans, you might have transmission problem.
In certain instances, yes
Auto Autopsy In A-Lot of instances yes Lol
Nissans have been bad lately. The BIG offender is the 02-06 Altima, everybody FAVORITE thing to say, the stupid catalyst gets SUCKED into engine. (DON'T KNOW WHERE YOU GUYS GET THAT)
And for Honda. kind of wary about them. An 01 I had. The trans died at 145k. Transmission are NOT supposed to die on a Honda
Toyota breaks down, too. Lol so, that's bull. XD And Honda was ranked a low level.
Mugabe Bakulu Baka as well as Audi, BMW & old Mercedes
Car payments and leasing is for suckers.
1) buy crappy used car for $1000 or even less.
2) Don't spend more than $50 on repairs, but get oil changes.
3) drive until it breaks down.
4) repeat and save tens of thousands. We can usually find a Mexican guy who'll pay us $100 for a busted car in a few days on craigslist, plus no towing cost to us. That's already 1/10th the cost of a $1000 replacement vehicle or 1/5th of a $500 vehicle.
5) Do this for 20 years. assuming you get at least one year out of every car, it's WAY cheaper than paying $20,000 or more for one car that automatically depreciates....not to mention all that interest and all the repairs over those years. You have to renew your registration each year anyway. And any taxes or other fees still add up to tens of thousands less than you'd pay for a new car.
6) play it carefully and you can also dodge those pesky emissions tests. Just don't go stinking up the earth with a shitty muffler.
My wife and I have been doing this since the mid 90s. Friends and family get killed by car payments and interest. We put that cash into savings and our vacation fund.
Sure we drive 2001 hondas. We've also traveled to 16 different countries since 1997.
You decide what you'd rather have: life experiences and savings, or a shiny overpriced hunk of junk you spend very few hours of your life in. And with that extra cash you can rent cool cars on vacation once in awhile if you want, or a van or camper for a road trip, etc.
Tips:
choose a smaller car for great gas mileage.
Don't take it on road trips or too far from home so you won't get stranded.
Ride a bike in nice weather to places close to home and save gas money. Mopeds are great too.
This is WAY easier if you're into the type of woman (or, like me, you're already married to a great woman) who likes you for who you are, not the car you drive (also me).
Car payments are for suckers. Get yourself outta this easy credit/high interest nightmare now before the whole thing collapses on top of you.
That's good advice for someone who doesn't care what they drive. Most car enthusiasts, however, do, and want something fun as well
And promptly pay another 1000 every 6 months to keep it running
Thats why I Have a 1998 Geo Metro 1.0
Thanks man u really help me a lot with this advice really thanks!!!!!!!!!!!
roflmows you are absolutely right! That’s why I drive a 2001 crv has a big nice expedition and I was paying almost 200 in gas a week smh.
