      Unless the wealthy millionaire mechanics might make those 27 avoiding cars strongly reliable is swapping with GM Duramax and Ford Powerstroke diesel engines with their transmissions. This includes swapping out unreliable car parts with strong reliable car parts.

    I work drive thru at Wendy's. A guy with a blue ford fusion pulls up and he has a spoiler and some other exterior mods. I say to him "Why you got all that on when it's stock". I said it as mostly as a joke. He smiles at me and says " Yeah stock" as he revvs the car and the sweet sound of a turbo enters my ears. I was beyond shocked. I knew people can turn anything into a sleeper but that one just waiting to send so one to gapplebees

    I worked in a Ford dealer for 12 years from 08-2020. I was saving to get a car, at the time, I had a 96 Mazda 626. They were always trying to convince me to get a Focus. I nearly did, but since I live in a higher price area (CA) and like saving, I didn't get one. There were times I really wanted a new car, but never pulled the trigger. Fast forward, and now I'm driving a 2015 Corolla S. Thing is pretty decent, and I got it before all the prices went to hell.

It doesn’t ride that great, and definitely is a stiffer ride than most others in the class. Also the transmission in all Q50’s will be a weak point not terribly unreliable but it’s not good after 150k miles.

The 2016-2021 (especially with the V6 Pentastar upgrade engine, aka the PUG) are the better years. The 2013 too. But you should avoid at all costs the 2011, 2012, 14 and 15. These are the most problematic years. The 16-21s have their problems too, but they are livable and you can enjoy the car. I actually own one and its great, but not without its issues. I dont believe recalls make a car unreliable. Its just the manufacturer recognizing their mistake and taking responsibility for it. There are many japanese cars (the reliable ones) that have had horrible issues that require cars to be recalled and they never did it out of fear of lawsuits and their costs. Customers just have to live with it or find a good mechanic that would fix the issue for the customer (at a cost) when the manufacturer should have taken responsibility for it.

    Little lack of research on your take with the Q50… the vq platform is one of the most reliable motors especially for car enthusiasts that anyone could buy at a super affordable price… you can also take it a step up in price with buying a VR30… the model you showed (2.0t)essentially has a Mercedes’ Benz’s b class power train and is not as commonly found as a 3.0t VR30 there’s also a suspension option that most people hate but at its peak… the VR30 is a monster with little modification. You throw a set of wheels and tires on (car sits on 225s from factory). Get rid of those pizza cutters with an intercooler and a tune. 3500 bucks later you have a car that has class, is under the radar, and is gapping just about everything you encounter. Litterally on a non redsport model (redsport comes stock with an extra coolant mechanism) it’s a 300-700 dollar intercooler and a 1000 bucks for the tune and the hardware. And you’re actually gonna be faster than a redsport. But there is a ton of potential in those cars. Not to mention if you drive them like a normal human being you actually get great gas mileage. Do a little more research kinda outta pocket with that one… you wanna talk shit ab the Nissan Armadas suspension issues be my guest. I own a 3.0t and my brother owns a 2.0t, had an armada up to 90k miles when the suspension went.. had a buddy with a qx80 who had the same exact problem at the same exact mileage

      In tandem with all the replies, as much as I love Toyota and tout their reliability to my friends, they've had some bad eggs and aren't free of criticism. I own an 06 Scion tC with the 2AZ-fe engine which sadly had some major oil burning issues from the year 07 up. I know people who've gotten rid of theirs just cause they were tired of topping off oil every week. Other than that, quite a little powerhouse of a motor with plenty of torque to have fun with.

    It would’ve been cool for you guys to be able to add specific models that are the exception of the list, specifically models that offer alternative transmissions/engine options that could potentially make the car listed more reliable. Like the Nissan juke is definitely not the best, but you can at least get a NISMO model with a six speed gearbox, which is leaps and bounds better than a CVT.

This design flaw can happen again and again if the factory replaces it since this parts are all junk. There's kits to take it out altogether though, but it's heads off and cam out to do that. When I researched this on the 5.3 engine on youtube, scores of videos came up with this. It's a shame because I have had small block Chevys for over 30 years and still have 2 old Corvettes that are going strong on the original build over 30 years ago. My 2019 lasted 2 years.

      They're good cars if you pamper them. I have a 2007 Mini cooper r56 and I haven't had any major issues (yet). It got into an accident yesterday so hopefully it doesn't go to shit

    Perhaps you should take a ride in my daily driver, 280 hp 2nd gen Cruze hatch.
    MOST RELIABLE compact car made by GM since the 80's

    I love how the video goes from avoid this it has a bad motor or trans or the frame is weak and you choose to dump on Nissan with the Q50 because its handling is a bit rough.
