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.
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
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!
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
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 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 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
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....
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
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.
thanks for the information man, I always wanted a Discovery for traveling and adventure but now I don't think I'll get one
:) Buy what you want at the end of the day! Sometimes these things are work regardless!
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.
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
Super helpful, thank you! Also you're a great multitasker! XD
Haha, thank you!!
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
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
You had me in tears LOL!!! This video was outrageously funny. Thank you! 😂👍😂
:)
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. 😂
Thank you so much great information well presented.
Thanks :)
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.
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.
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!
Well done, as usual.I knew several who bought Mini Coopers new,even then some had horror stories.Friends bought a new Mini ragtop in 2006.The convertible top failed within 6 months,the transmission seized within a year of purchase.They had a flood when the Mini was in their driveway.Turns out the transmission wasn't even sealed,so it was basically waterlogged.Still under warranty,they towed it to the dealership,who was obscenely dismissive and turned them away.After all the repairs they were too cash strapped to pursue litigation.
wow smh! thats bad
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
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?
Great video. My oldest just turned 16 and will be needing a car soon. So thanks youtube for putting this in my suggested video list nearly a year after it was made.
Haha!
Great vid! I'm not even looking to buy, I just wanted to know more about cars.
Thank you Lora!
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
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
"...80 million miles to the gallon..." HAHAHA!!! 😂
Well done! 👏
thanks!
pls elaborate more on the problems with the mazda xedos 9, apart from the seal leakage, which other problems are there?
My daily driver is a 1967 98 olds. Never gave me any problems. I keep up with all the maintenence and it runs strong. It's even a real headturner.😊
Awesome!
It is very comfortable, but not a gas saver.
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 👌
Hey man, thanks for your video. I'm looking to buy a used car off the dealership, a nice family ish type car (not an SUV) really dig the Chevy cruze and Toyota Corolla type stuff, and if I really pay it off ASAP, 10k is pretty doable for me. I just haven't driven in 5 years and the market is HUGE... I just want to buy a car that will be reliable, good mpg, and I can keep it for a long time. What would you say is a nice modern day car? Thank you in advance.
Hey Saul! I uploaded a video titled "20 reliable cars under 10k" that should give you some info!
Thanks for useful information!!
:)
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.
*THX 4 GIVING US GOOD INFORMATION*
:)
"It looks like a cheese wedge, and it drives like one. LMAO
;)
So I have a Suzuki Forenza wagon, are they still considered the same thing? My cars at like 124,000 something miles and I only had problems with the battery not working but it was just the battery. Is there anything I should be worried about?
yeah, they'd have all of the same components
@@AutoAutopsy Damnit, thanks
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?
As a teenager you hate the Prius because it's not cool in the slightest. But 20 years from now, when you have insanely high rent to pay, 2 kids to put through college and a partner that will cost vast amounts of money to keep happy (I speak from experience), you'll be desperate for the Prius' 80 million mpg and reliability.
Please read the pinned comment
getting mad because he is saying what most people think wow. I know a father with 5 kids who still wouldn't drive a prius, it's a shitty car. If you drive one fine but you know it's a shitty car don't get mad cause he spoke the truth
Aussiemarco 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣
Nothing wrong with a Prius at all. Plain and simple, it's a well engineered, reliable and fuel efficient vehicle with almost no major issues to speak of.
KingJohn No major issues? it got two big big issues, 1. its a hybrid, 2. it looks awful
Thanks for your feed back. " I Dig that". Two thumbs up.👍👍
:) thank you!
Jags had problems all the time.
Thanks for sharing
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.
I don't know, I think the prius is fun to drive. It's like a golfcart that can do 80mph, while being quiet and maneuverable enough to sneak into any parking spot. It has surprisingly quick 0-15mph times, with that combined electric+gasoline torque. It's kinda boring when compared to a powerful car, but you should be comparing it with a gasoline powered EZ-GO with the governor disabled.
Lol that's true!
I love Toyota camry is a very strong car
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

I have an opportunity to purchase a 2001 Saab 9-5 for $1400. I really can't find anything wrong with it other than Saab is not made anymore. It has 168k on the odometer. is it worth it?
Yes! Not sure if you're aware, but I make a lot of saab content on my channel ;) You're in the right place!
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}
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..
Thank you for great information, and it was a warning for me on any if these cars.
:)
Do u have anything newer? Vehicles that r 2012-2017? 10k and under? I'm trying to buy a car with $5,000 down. Need the best options for a good used car to make payments on that wont die in value. Cause I want to be able to sell it when I pay it off cause I'll have good credit then. Hopefully.

5,000, in km or buying.
I totally agree with every rating (and could add a few e.g. Malibu 97 - whatever, pretty much any Cadillac, and any BMW with excluding most M-series ), with the exception the Prius. I don't own one, but I respect and am in awe of what Toyota has done with the Prius with it's exceptional gas mileage, and unbeatable reliability. In my book miles per gallon and dependability are both a form of performance. You can't compare 1/4 mile time vs. slalom times vs. ground clearance for negotiating off road courses; likewise you can't compare a Prius base on those standards ... but if you were to compare a Prius vs. any other car based on miles per gallon and reliability/dependability it's unbeatable. Your comment about garnering "no respect" ... dude grow up, I don't respect a guy or a gal just because he or she is driving a 911, a Z06, a 350 Super Duty dually diesel or the latest Jeep with LED lights, and rock crawler suspension... I am more likely to respect the guy/gal in the Prius, as he or she is definitely not "posing" they're just sensible, more than likely mature and comfortable in who they are. I love performance and technology in automobiles at all levels.
Respectfully,
Andy
Thanks for the polite constructive criticism. I should have made this more clear in the video, but the Prius was put on the list as a joke, my apologies for not making that clearer.
My boss in the office has a Toyota Prius and is very pleased with his performance both inside and outside the city. I was once sitting on the back of the seat, and it was very comfortable.
Andrew King Jr.
Andrew King Jr. Yeah M's are suprisingly stolid
you sound like a fun guy to hang out with and talk about how awesome manumatic transmissions are...
She said with a sarcastic tone
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.
Thanks for sharing! Check out the pinned comment
Ya wait until you need to fix it. Several thousand people sued Toyota over that POS and won.
Lol
@@justsaynomoregopever8220 damn
what car you drive now in present sir
Loved it. Great work. Love to hear a critique of the Tesla
Love them. I think strengthening the charging stations and the amount of them will get rid of most people's fears and apprehensions
I worked at a garage for a few months and this guy had a 2003 prius with 450k miles anf other then the basic maintenance and oil changes it runs.
Original batteries at the mileage? Doubt it :) Also, read the pinned comment
every one should have least two car.
one for the daily commute with good mpg...(like a prius )
and a weekend warrior :) where nothing really matter just the smile per mile ;)
Robert Kero true
I have 2007 toyota prius I bought it brand new I have 161,000 I never had any problems with my prius
Chamberlain Arinze Have you changed the battery pack yet?? If not, stand by for a financial shock.
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!
I’d like to see you talking about the 2013 Chevy suburban 2500
I am interested in buying BMW 7 series.
Have no clue about the car or if any major issues about it being used.
I live the car,but don’t want to buy repair shop with it.
Don’t have big bank account either.
Any suggestion?
Depends; I have heard the ones from the mid 2000s or so aren't very reliable. Buying a big luxury sedan might not be the best decision if you're tight on money though!
I worked for land-rover, totally agree about the discovery 2 but not the freelander, you showed pics of the freelander 1 and 2, the first was definitely a piece of crap but the second generation had none of the faults you mentioned.
Yep, my apologies
I am thinking to buy a 2 door freelander 1.8 I hope I don't regret it
www.autotrader.com.cy/cars/land-rover/freelander/land-rover-freelander-2004-52457.html any advice please on this car? Cause I am thinking to buy it
Mary Halloumis don't do it, the petrol engines are total crap. The head gaskets go all the time and they're a fortune to repair now as they haven't made this model for over 10 years.
penguincrafty thank you so much for the advice God bless you.
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.
You do a very good job at this. Keep up the good work.
Thank you Robert!
Hi I am planning to buy Used Hyundai Sonata
and list out some and details are:
year: 2013 to 2016
Mileage/miles on car: 55k miles or less
price ranges: $12k to $17k
Please, suggest me if I can prefer this range of the used cars. or should I prefer $5k to $10k for used cars.
Well if it's in the budget and you'd like something nicer, then go for it. If not, there's plenty of great options under 10k or even 5k
You forgot to add any and all Chryslers.
Check part 2
SuperPersianLord I have 380,000 miles on a 2007 chrysler 300 2.7L V6. You just have to do proper maintenance.
Yup, and I put 1,000,000miles on my Buggati..Lol. Chryslers USED to be good cars, I mean the fact the motor area has gotten so cramped that the battery goes under the backseat on a lot of models says enough. Let alone seeing plenty of different models constantly in shops&junkyards. If by maintenance you mean taking it to the dealer, real car guys like working on their cars..and a car that you have to take to the dealer for maintenance to make sure it stays running doesn't sound that beneficial/cost effective to me.
Awww.... Did someone who's never picked up a wrench have their car die on them once?
And Cadillacs with their money draining oil problems
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
Do u recommended a Chevy s10 as my first car that I buy? Am not much of a car guy and I work in a wood workshop, but don’t want something big. My budget is around 2000-8000, 4x4 I’d prefer.
Maybe that or an old ford ranger; I know a few people with those
Not thinking about buying a car but thought I’ll watch. Great information ℹ️ and seem like a very genuine guy. Cool!!! thumbs up 👍 from me. And a new subscriber!!
:) thanks!
I agree with you about the Mustang, why buy a V6 when you can get a V8. Sure it costs more, but you get more smiles per gallon
"Smiles per gallon" Love that phrase lol!
Craig Sadler nothing wrong with a mustang v6.
Craig Sadler because some people can’t afford it.
+anyone..hey no one made a short cut of this list yet..what a waste listening to..come on. 1.mazda2.Linc.3.bs.4. more BS. 5. I stopped listening 6. mini cooper7. cut it off
I own a 99 auto mustang and that car is beyond reliable. With these gas prices I'll pass on a v8
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
Very good tips. Thank a lot.🚗
:)
Great video, Thank you!
Thanks Wendy!
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 ?
The Suzuki forenza isn't hard to find parts for at all and they are really easy to work on and last as long as you take care of it. I work on them all the time and barely have any that have major problems
Thanks for sharing
hey man, how about mazda 3 2005-2010 model? is it worth it to buy?
I quite like mazda's; something I would personally buy if it checked out
Thanks for your video. Super great info! Looking for an auto maybe nissan or toyota. Dont know yet!!
I'd pick toyota if I were you; the Nissan CVT's (auto trans essentially) can be very unreliable!
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
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! 😂😂
How do you rate Opel Corsa B or Opel Vita? Please tell me more.
I don't know much about cars not sold in America, sorry
Hi, that's great, i don't know if u've a film on car maintenance and trucks?, thks
Repent and be holy be born again
I don't really film with any trucks, sorry!
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
you're right, the v6 automatic mustangs at that time were not fast cars, I have a 2002 v6 mustang and its slower than any 4 cylinder stock engine built around that time or older, but they are still excellent cars. A bunch of them are still driving down the road to this day even after 15 years
Yeah I see tons of them! Proves the reliability!
I'm in love with Buick Lesabre. Mine got 32mpg, and it only needed regular maintenance (brakes, oil, tires) most years. I had a chevy impala that ran pretty cheap too, and it had nearly 300,000 miles. Hindsight.
Nice!
Hi, what can you tell me about the Toyota Townace Diesel 3c engine?
" I wear my sunglasses while I drive, so I can, so I can...tell you 'bout these awful lousy cars......."
James Shelnutt 😘
James Shelnutt I had a Corey Hart moment run through my mind real quick.
Leana Gonzales
Leana Gonzales l
me too
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.
Great video 😄👍
Thank you 😁
thanks for infos and it helps a lot
:)
I'm disappointed at the lack of hate for the dodge stratus. They car is hilariously difficult to work on. You're so right about the Mini though. Even people that love the Mini hate it.
Lol. Also, there's some Chrysler products on part 2
I had my stratus 10 years and loved it.
Did you buy it new? Why did you get rid of it? Did you ever wrench on it yourself? You ever try and change a water pump on a v6 stratus? You have to disassemble almost the whole damn engine! You ever try and just change the battery? The damn thing is buried in the fender-well.
No i bought it with 54k miles one owner. The only issue I ever had with it was it started to wear the inside of the back tires down to the wire. The bushings in the lower control arms were wore out and allowing the tires to lean in.
I sold it because we outgrew it. It was an 04 2 dr sxt. What year was yours? I traded it for an suv 2 teenagers 2 dogs. Needed more room.
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
Well presented. Thank you.
thanks!
hi how do you think about Santa fe 2009
Nissan versa note! The transmissions are going out in our fleet cars! At around 80 thousand miles
Thanks for sharing!
good video and I agree with mostly everything but gotta disagree with the prius being on this list. it's true car people hate it. but i'm a happy prius owner and its a 2001 with 260k miles on it. it's been stupid reliable lol. like i can't even explain. I don't even do oil changes as much as i should. maybe once a year if lucky. it's been in 2 front end collisions lol. it's so old I don't even care about it anymore but it just won't fucking die. Its my current work and everyday driver for now but I think I may get a chevy cobalt soon and the prius will be a backup.
Thanks! The prius was actually on the list as a joke, and I should've made that more obvious; apologies!
Just don't get in an accident. 50% higher death rate than the average car, as per IIHS. There are way worse but there are always ones that are way safer.
A Chevy Cobalt. Did a car fall on your head. The only American car that I would even consider owning is a Corvette. I once owned a 67 Chevrolet Impala and sold it for $500 with over 286,000 miles and the engine had never been touched. Remember this, they absolutely don't make 'em like they use to. Why a Cobalt. Hell get another Prius with a 100,000 miles on it before you buy a Cobalt, Bolt, Volt or anything American (previous exception noted), unless you miss, excessive maintenance, unreliability, costly repairs and logarithmic depreciation. Just trying to help.
My first car was a '65 Biscayne. No AC, AM radio, power steering with drum brakes (very odd combo). My dad had a bunch of cars but I preferred this one over the '69 Cutlass that my brother mostly drove.
Lakario, have you ever needed to put a new battery in it? Some people are lucky like you though. I know someone who got over 300,000 out of one on the original battery.
Please someone tell me why iam having so much trouble with my 2005 Nissan Marrero keeps cutting off while driving
Murano?
Bro love your videos what mitsubishi Eclipse GS 2007 ran 117000km. Should i buy it
Check out some owner reviews and check how much it's worth before buying it! Have it inspected and everything as well if you're not confident :)
I think the Toyota Prius is a great car especially if you commute for work however, the 2016-current models have to arguably be the most hideous thing on the road.
Yeah the Prius is a great car no doubt, just something you would avoid if you care the slightest bit about what you drive lol
I've had 2 Prius's. Both were great and reliable. BTW, I also drive a '32 Ford 3 window coupe Hot Rod and a '49 Ford chopped top full custom.
Simply Car Things $5500 for changing generator, battery will die in 10 years, so try not to buy a 10 year old one, the newer the better but cost more, battery will die we all know that, to the point can’t be recharge
You mean if you're a poser? Agreed with every one you listed up to the Prius. It's a sane choice for those not interested in what others think of them.
Rick Uyeda if you’ve had two of them their not reliable enough
Where are you going??
Headed over to your mom's house, Kyle
damn
He's going to buy a fidget spinner.
Horrid. Com
Auto Autopsy lmfao i was litterally avbout to reply that and you already did
Guys m planing to buy a used mini cooper how is it m I inviting trouble pls advise
