  • Don't bother touching any of these unreliable cars! They have some of the worst engines in them and I just can't recommend you buy these. In fact, these are cars to avoid!
    So much so, that we're going to start off with a vehicle that burnt to a crisp! We'll see Hyundai, BMW, Ford, and a few other makers that have just missed the mark in my opinion!

      The Porsche Cayenne is a pretty reliable German car it’s expensive to maintain but it could last up to like 200,000-250,000 miles. All the others are headaches & money pits before even touching 100k miles (Mercedes, BMW, Audi, Volkswagen etc)

      @bryancarlson3673 yes in the 1980’s as a schoolboy then admittedly I had no experience but some of my friends parents who were lucky to be able to pay more money would instead of getting an Austin Rover car would get a BMW or Mercedes because they were German and the engineering reputation they have. At the end of the 90’s my mate picked up a 325 that was a 1988 or 89 model if I remember. Lovely nice strong car with the fantastic straight 6 engine. I was helping my boss one day check her oil in a 1 series and was shocked to look under the hood. I couldn’t understand why even though she has no mechanical knowledge was not able to top her oil up. I found a square plastic oil cap that had got stuck on from all the heat, and not enough room around the rocker cover to get a good grip to remove it. I looked around further and saw all the rest of the plastic and thought “this is a BMW”?. A few days later I told a mechanic in my local pub and he says it’s common problem, he’s made a makeshift tool for removing stuck oil caps on modern BMW’s and said they were trash. Nice to drive yes and quite a few are good looking cars but endless money pits due to poor design and quality and plastics. I also couldn’t believe how black her oil was and that’s when I heard about the ridiculous 20000 mile service interval. Pure gimmick, even fully synthetic oil doesn’t last anywhere near that long. The maximum miles anyone should go is 10000 and that’s if journeys are long so minimal stop start driving. For around town driving and short commutes to work the oils best performance is only good for 5000. At 5000 on my Focus the oil is starting to look a bit dirty but even at a 5000 change you can hear the difference with fresh oil, it’s quieter on cold start and quieten downs a little quicker too with that fresh oil and filter. Longer than 5000 I’d feel I was damaging the engine using old oil let alone 20000. So even on a 4 year old car my boss was burning oil in that 1 series. And if the car has turbos and oil is only changed every 20000 that’s just ridiculous, new turbos and an engine prematurely wearing out. I suppose people that can afford to change their car every 2 or 3 years won’t see the damage, it’s the people who end up buying a used BMW with low mileage like 60000 and thinking great I’ve got a fairly new 4-5 year old BMW with only 60000 miles only to find the turbos are really whining from damage from old oil clogging up the return feed and starving them of oil and they are putting a litre of oil in every 1000 miles, and the car is about to become a huge moneypit.

  • @dystopia-usa
    @dystopia-usa Месяц назад +39

    Most engines today (GDI & GDI/Turbo engines) are garbage for extended reliability, compared to most of the naturally-aspirated port-injected engines that preceded them. People who fell for the 10K oil change scam also made it even worse. Automakers today only build to meet fuel-economy regulation requirements & to last the engine/power-train warranty period & could care less beyond that. They want you in a new vehicle every 4-5 years (or sooner).

    1 of the best car's I have ever had was a 1999 ford windstar I bought it used in 2004 and drove it for 4 years as a work van then loaded it up and hooked a 14 trailer to it and moved from Ont to Alberta with it, Now I have a 2007 Freestar with the 4,2L and I have owned it for 6 years and have put a flex pipe and cat on it when I bought it and that's it. The worst car I ever bought was a 2011 F150 , It was broke down so often I had to buy a used car to get around in and after 2 years that truck only had 56,000klm on it '' mostly highway'' and the dealer said '' If I was you id dump this because in 4000klm the warranty for everything but the motor and trans is done. So I traded it for a 2014 Toyota that only lasted 3 months before the trans was slipping so bad I was not able to get on the highway or up the hill to my house and the dealer said when it stops moving we can fix it '' first and last toyota for me '' so I traded that for a kia and got 2 years out of that before the motor lost 50% of it's power, I could not pass on the highway so if I got behind a big truck I was stuck there, New cars are junk and they are made of used can's and plastic and then they want you to pay 3 times the price,

Both are easy to work on and parts are readily available and relatively inexpensive. Lots of used parts available for both as well if I wanted to go that route. With the prices of new vehicles, I can rebuild them both a few times for the price of one new truck.

    I think it is safe to say you can now add the new Toyota Tundra to this list of engines to avoid the new Turbo charged V6 especially the 2022 models is having lots of issues with spun rod bearings. Toyota will eventually fix it and the engine will become near bullet proof, but for now I would avoid any Toyota Tundra 2024 and older with the Turbo V6 engine. Maybe the 2025 models will be good since they did improve with the 2024 models, but I would wait and get a 2025 if I were in the market for a Tundra.

    Unfortunately, cars are not made to last. Not anymore. Some worse than others. Even with diligent maintenance, there’s no guarantee anymore. Too much cost cutting and the use of plastic instead of aluminum. No Jaguar on the list? Thanks. Love the snark. 👍

    Ford + turbo engines = garbage. Most recalls of any auto maker 3 years running. That's the thing running at Ford.

      Where can you get a 20,000 dollar Civic? Most are in the mid 20's going closer to the 30's and above. Maybe used, but used car prices are ridiculous as well.
