There is much more that impacts the cost of vehicle ownership than just the sticker price. You might buy a car that's a bargain, only to spend more fixing it in the long run. Plenty of cars out there are still giving owners endless headaches. Even cars that people trust to be reliable turn out to be bottomless money pits.
So we dug into Car-Edge data, which ranked over 200 models from best to worst for maintenance, based on millions of automotive data points from a variety of the industry's leading data providers. Among the list, we picked 10 luxury SUVs with the highest maintenance and repair costs compared to the vehicle’s price, along with the probability each model will incur a major repair during the first 10-year ownership.

You are right... thats why i choose a Japanese vehicle... A LEXUS OR TOYOTA WILL BE ENOUGH.. A FEW TWEAKS AND MODS.. THIS WILL APPEAL THE SAID VEHICLE..
Vry nicrŕd...,
@@RedondoBeach2 yeah, but your oil change would cost you close to $1000
@@sherrcon True, unless you do routine maintenance yourself when possible. I say when possible because some high end vehicles have become so technically advanced that you can't even replace the brakes without special equipment only owned by dealerships. On the other hand, maintenance like changing oil, filters, flushing coolant, replacing spark plugs, coils... are typically straight forward. Although this maintenance also cost some money for certain tools, the tools pay for themselves the first time you do the maintenance yourself.
@@RedondoBeach2 wait until EV comes into play...most garages will not train their employees on EV bc of the cost involved...they will close down the shop...they are trying to outlaw gas engines; ...
From bad to worst : 10) jaguar 9) Audi q3 8) Volvo se40 7) Cadillac xt4 6) porsche Macan 5) Range Rover 4) Mercedes gla 250 3) Land Rover discovery 2) BMW X3 1) (worst) BMW X1 and x2 - GREAT video ! Love the stats to suppprt the ranking :)
THANK you so much!
Thanks! Totally lacked the patience to watch the full vid
Okay now let’s do the most reliable suv over 100k miles
#3 Toyota Sequoia , # 2 Toyota 4Runner, #1 Toyota Landcruiser
#2 Lexus GX , #1 Lexus LX
Yep we already know
Easy....All Toyotas and Lexus
Now that’s what I’m talking about
Wow my Rav 4 is now 12 years old with 140,000 miles and it has required nothing but regular servicing.
My 2017 Rav4 has been OK with regular servicing. I gotta get a new battery but that is expected.
The compact Toyota SUV I owned since 2008 still in good on the road condition after 250000km。
Toyota’s the best
@@Chris-rs4so Agreed
Good to know Jaguar is #1 most reliable car on the list.
Should add the BMW X5 to this list. Owning one was the worst mistake in my life
I have had 6 Porsches in last ten years. None has ever broken or needed big repair. Service is high but once a year. They will Outlast anything. Ten years old they look great where Toyotas for instance look old inside. The plastics fade , just cheap. The Porsche will look near perfect at ten years if maintained and kept indoors. My 08 Caysnne S is mint, no issues no damage , bullet proof. Also had or have Machan S, two 911s, Gt3, and most recent , turbo 2017. None of these cars ever broke . I did have two washer bottles crack over the years and Caysnne got flooded once, fried it out , been fine for 8 years after . Love Porsche . Can't go wrong. Not to mention the insane resale values. I've had the macan for 7 years zero issues so far other than one wheel sensor. Can't beat these things .
This is an excellent report. Most reliability reviews don't include the cost of repairs. This really puts things in perspective.
I have been buying cars for over 40 years and regularly read the auto trade journals. My opinion.. Honda/Acura or Toyota/lexus. To hell with what the neighbors think.
My 1999 Lexus RX300 with 307,000 miles has never had a mechanical problem. 🙂
Oh you wait buddy
@@Toxin_Shadow don't be a hater
@@Toxin_Shadow Haaa U must be kidding? Wait on a 1999 car? It's been 24 years 307k mies, that car owes nothing 2no1
@@Toxin_Shadowwait what? I still see old ass Japanese brand cars running around the streets, not those shitty European cars.😂
SUV?
Nobody at this time can beat Japanese cars especially Toyota/Lexus when it comes to reliability and practicality.
Japanese cars? Certainly not Subaru or Nissan. Yes, Toyotas are reliable. Boring old-tech cars are generally very reliable.
@@darreng8084 boring is good then.
If you understand what actually needs to be fixed, buying OEM parts online and installing them yourself or by a German auto mechanic can actually be cheaper than owning any Japanese car. But the majority of people are not car guys, so they buy Japanese cars.
@@cthis4786 - I'm in Europe - so spares costs for VW are around the same as for Mazda or Honda. I've been in the motor trade all my life, being in a main Renault dealership for over 20 years until we changed to Honda- Result Warranty work virtually disappeared moving to Honda, so much so, that as mechanics left they were not replaced, as the work load got smaller. I have only owned Honda and Mazda's for the past 30 years. All totally reliable with minimal maintenance costs. Same with motorcycles - I bought a new Kawasaki Z1000 in 2005 which I still have. Zero problems and I'm someone that used to buy British bikes when I was young. The Japs have always been pretty high on my list of making reliable products. Generally most manufacturers have improved their reliability rates but for me, after 55 years in the trade no one beats Japanese cars and bikes (especially those actually made in Japan). Hence in my garage at the moment sit 2 Mazdas and one Kawasaki.😀
@@troll2637 - My Kawasaki isn't boring, nor is my immaculate Mazda 3 MPS. Plus of course they are 100% reliable.
Man, I’m trying to get out of my 2015.5 Volvo XC60 now. Maintenance costs are insane. THOUSANDS each year. This car is dealer maintained annually and STILL annually has problems with it. When we bought it in 2016 We loved the feel of it, but it’s just not worth it on the back end. The moment the warranty ended the cash started burning out of my wallet. I’ll NEVER buy a luxury vehicle again. I’ve also warned off ALL of my family and friends.
xc60 luxury? come on now
Buy a Lexus…
@@cactuslietuva it's considered luxury by industry standards.
Luxury cars aren't the issue, it's just the brand you chose 😂
@tonefaulcon9729 What were the issues you were having with your XC60?
Mitsubishi is very underrated.
My Peugeot 308 is 9 years old and been a dream, i drive everyday no issues whatsoever👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
I bought a 2000 V10 excursion two years ago, couldn’t be happier, just love that big boy.
My wife has BMW X1 for almost 5 years now with no issues whatsoever. We bought it new and she drives the vehicle every day to work. Just regular maintenance done always on time. We also know other families with X1 and X2 with no issues. This one came as a surprise for me.
yes agreed. im surprised too. i own F25 X3 for 7 years with 110,000 km mileage. so far no issue. only normal maintenance.
I wish I could say the same about my x5 diesal . Money pit
You’re lucky…
As someone who has a family member who owns one, I can vouch for build quality of X1. It doesn't give any issues at all.
My father has the x1, endless issue with turbo engine, window control etc.. definitely not the economic model . BMW at least in France is not known for his robustness anyway :$
I just love watching this channel. they are so helpful. and i just love the content too.
Have a 2017 X1 2L diesel and quite happy with it. Bought it new and it came standard with a 5 year motor plan. Never paid a cent for any repairs or services .. the most expense repair being a twilight replacement cos the module gave up. So impressed I ust renewed my plan for another year.
Sounds like you have a warranty. So essentially you pay for those repair costs up front. And 2017 is fairly new You're just hitting the 5-year mark. The real fun of those cars begins around that 5-year mark so enjoy
Great job, keep up the great work.
Get a made in Japan 4Runner for at least 20 years of peace of mind. King of top reliability.
What you gain in reliability on the 4Runner you lose in fuel consumption so if you're not doing some serious off-road it is not worth buying
@@victorradu9645 You'll have that problem with most AWD suvs .
i have a 2004 4 runner and waiting for it to die,,, 290 km on it... i just change oil and tires and of course brake pads
Thx for this video. As a senior I’m on the market for a 3 row SUV (so our 2 large dogs can travel) , yet have a lower ground clearance so I don’t have to climb into & fall out of! Not everyone who is in the market for a SUV has a house full of kids. A video for seniors would be great!
I have two Aussies and I currently have a truck. Thinking about a new car.. BUT my first priority is space for my dogs…lol. A lot come with captain chairs as 2nd row.. really? Lol
KIA Carnival might be a great choice! Reliable, doesn't lack power, had a third row and loads of space.
Mazda CX9
Try GLB250. It has 3 rows. Low ground cleareance and easy to drive. Easy to drive for several reasons: 1. it is more of compact SUV with large rooms inside. 2. visibility while driving feels tall even with low ground clearance. 3. turning radius is small, easy to u turn. Drawback: 1.not all models are AWD, if you are after AWD. 2. lack of power,can be both positive and negative for senior drivers. The car will not be very jumpy when accelerator pedal pressed. But at cost of lower torque, that means lack towing power. I drive GLB 200 since 2020. Love it and now traded with my wife's car because she loves the manuverability and visibility. Plus ,easy to get in and out.
@@arrozconpollo4675😮
If you like the style and luxury trim of European cars, just get it new and lease it for 3 years so you don’t get hit with maintenance costs. If you really want to buy and keep for long, then go for Lexus, Toyota, Acura, or Honda. These cars are reliable, durable, and parts are reasonable in price. Hence low maintenance costs. Thanks for pointing out the cars to avoid in this video.
My school bus driver Robert drives a Cadilac.
Is that really the same though? The payment on a leased german vehicle (which is the new 2023 model for cars) for be paying near 1000$. Buying that same vehicle used will be muuuuucccchhhh cheaper
O
@@bigde131 True, downpayment for leasing a European luxury make is a huge amount. But buying a used one is like playing Russian roulette on repair costs. If you’re lucky you don’t get hit by a huge maintenance expense.
Renee Santiago . I agree several mechanics that I spoke to told me the same thing. Stay with your Lexus they are really excellent cars. For me it’s either Honda/Acura or Toyota/ Lexus.
2005 Ford Escape for me hands down all I need to fix is the right rear rust no surprises - its reliable, runs and is paid for
Having owned two Range Rovers, I'm convinced that all Land Rover, Range Rover and Jaguar vehicles should make up the majority of this list. And it's true that the rate of deterioration of important parts skyrockets after 60,000 miles with Audi. They are high-tech cars with a commensurate price. And that can shock those who just want a commuter car. BMW's have always been good cars for me, though I never kept them long past the warranty. I'm now on my third Tesla. In spite of the negative publicity, they have been the most problem free vehicles I ever owned. By far.
I use a 33 year old Nissan Patrol to pull a 4.000kg (8500pound) trailer.... it is noisy and VERY basic..... like driving an agricultural tractor....
But dispite the age it costs next to nothing to maintain.... and is economic on fuel (3.3 Diesel,100 HP,12.5 litre/100km... pulling the trailer...)
It doesn’t take much for me to understand that these rubbish SUV’s are sold because of the ’roughty-toughty’ reputation the REAL 4wd cars earned fora reason.....
‘Marketing’ is a sick game....
Teslas account for 273 of nearly 400 US crashes involving driver-assist systems. US automakers reported nearly 400 crashes in 10 months involving vehicles with partially automated driver-assist systems, including 273 with Teslas, according to statistics released by federal safety regulators.
@@puppetmaster3371 Driver assistent systems can do miracles.... there is a few ‘real-life’ vids on RUclips where people are saved by the automatic brakesystem new Volvo trucks are equiped with,believe me,it looks like they trick you messing with the images..... but they are real!!!!
I was on a safety course for renewal of my HGV-licence and they showed us a vid where the latest Scania truck that automatically recognises a vehicle goes from 80km/h to full stop IN TWENTY METRES!!!!!..... and that with a vehicle weight of 40 metric tons!!.... if the driver isn’t in his seat belt he’ll crash into his windshield...
But at my instruction day at the company I now drive for I was warned that the new Scania’s we drive sometimes recognise a low,narrow bridge as an obstacle resulting in emergency braking!!
The accidents you mention with Tesla’s show us exactly where it goes wrong:people rely on them as a REPLACEMENT for the driver’s attention.... while obviously it is an ADDITION to the driver taking care....
Drive safe,greetings,Henk,Netherlands.
If they're so good, why are you on your third Tesla?
@@bobmcl2406 Good question...
I bought a 2015 Nissan Leaf w/ exactly 50K miles. I get 75 miles per 100% charge. I hope that I did not make a bad decision to buy this car. I love my Leaf. It is in excellent condition, my first EV. Free charging at Nissan which is on the way to work and on the way home+free mochas or free vanilla lattes and free car washes.
Good info. I'm from Oz, and things are changing. EV's are coming in too.
I noted one guy mention getting Toyota, Honda, Lexus, Acura? -don't know that one. They are reliable and parts cheaper. And if you want a cheap Lexus then buy a top range Toyota or Honda, and you have got it, minus the name of course. Hybrid options are good with Toyota too. Don't know much about the Honda hybrid reliability.
My top choices
1. Toyota rav4
2. Toyota corolla cross
3. Mitsubishi outlander
4. Mazda cx5
Mazdas are fun to drive. Im tired of mazda’s expensive parts and rust issues
I had a 02 Jaguar S type sport that I purchased in 07 with 26K on it and donated it in 2020 with 160k on it when the transmission started to go bad. It was a damn good car, purchased a 2012 BMW X5 5Oi in 2016 and took the L in 2018 because it was truly a deep well money pit. Twin turbo had 2 water pumps and the secondary pump went bad 700.00 later repaired. Turbo coolant line leak parts 113.00 labor 2200 and oil changes 430.00 +. Never again will go down that hole unless it's new on a lease.
You should be doing your own oil changes.
@@mannarmylie4195 Doing oil changes yourself only saves like $20 bucks in labor, not worth the time...
Naturally aspirated cars are the way to go if you want reliability. The only thing that can go wrong is valve covers leaking over a long period of time, but that's it and doesn't even affect the car.
@@cthis4786 unless you are going to Jiffy Lube i beg to differ. That said doing your own oil changes is simple basic maint. Takes no more than a few min. I do it from the comfort of home, no travelling to shops - so i SAVE time, i save money, i know its done RIGHT, and i get to inspect other components while at it. I do it 2x annually and am convinced it goes a long way to extending the life of my vehicles. Indeed i have typically kept my cars +10yrs and over 250k miles.
@@cthis4786 Agreed. Naturally aspirated engines are typically simpler which is usually better mechanically.
very helpful, thanks
I used to own a BMW, never again. All of these high end prestigious car brands put out crap. I called a window repair shop to get a quote on replacing the exterior seals around the front and rear windows and he immediately said “oh it must be a BMW”
The same happened to me. I will never again buy a BMW
Great Video - Please do one for the Mid-Size Luxury SUV as well as for the Most Reliable SUVs in each category.
will do. thanks for the suggestion.👍
Thank you ❤ good info
I have a 2012 Range Rover Evoque Sport / Two Door. In the last ten years it hasn't cost me a penny outside of oil changes and brake pads.
Excellent info! thanks for presenting it in an easily digestible way.
side note i was not expecting that voice to come from that face. i mean that in the best way possible. 👌👌
I had Land Rover and Jaguar my current is the XF over the last 4 yrs it has cost me Only £600 a year this includes servicing insurance and repairs.
My land rovers have not cost me much more when owned them.
I have a 2018 BMW X4 100K Kilometers and not an issue encountered so far! Regular servicing and the occasional 'hi speed run'--perfect car ! Best BMW I have ever had!
This is good to hear. I have a 2022 x4 m40i and I pray my bmw will do as well as yours 😊
@@ToOpen6seven I live in Thailand. I have driven thousands of miles all over the country! Hills and mountains, monsoon rains! It's been great --so far!!
Wow your report just confirmed what my mechanic told me.. I will stay with Lexus and kept more cash in my pocket and peace of mind WINNING 👍🙏
I will keep with my station wagon (E-class mercedes) Look at the SUV and wagon fuel figures and the SUV will use up about 15% more fuel simply because it is less aerodynamic. At where I am on UK fuel prices on a diesel engine that saves me £2200 over 10 years. Probably much more if you run it on gas. Then you have the higher cost of brakes and tires too.
So you are constantly paying out more with any SUV.
@@grolfe3210 For low mileage drivers fuel costs are not an issue. Which is one reason I own two Lexus RX's. The 2005 has nearly 200K miles on it and I plan on driving it at least another 10 years. I toyed with the idea of getting a diesel but am glad I didn't, slightly better fuel economy is not enough to cover diesel at 80% more per gallon. Plus the noise and smell.
@@uncareid5557 I am in the UK and guessing you are in US. Just looked up and converted our prices - Gas in US is about $3.81 while in UK it is $7.25 and Diesel US $5.81 and UK $8,27.
So it cost us $140 to fill a tank and even with low mileage use it is a factor we consider here. Also Our diesel is only about 10% higher than gas so really is a big saving. I run an E class merc and probably 90% of them are diesel here.
Noise and smell? That was 20 years ago, they have come along a very long way since then.
@@grolfe3210 New diesels require DEF here in the US, another cost. Gas is about $3. here in Tennessee. Diesel is over $5. I can tell when I have a diesel in front of me on the road by the stink. I can't hear the motor of my Lexus RX on the highway at 75 MPH. Can you say that about your Mercedes?
@@uncareid5557 Hi, I have been driving diesels here in UK for about 20 years. Over that time they have changed and we have very strict emissions now. Diesels here have no black soot coming out of them at all and you really cannot tell if you are behind one.
DEF is about $15 and lasts a year.
Each car has to pay "road tax" each year, some cars cost $600 to tax. My car is $30 as gov encouraged diesel cars a few years back.
At tickover you can just about tell it is diesel but not the clatter they made in the past, just a low exhaust note. However because they do not rev so much they are quieter at speed. I drove mine at 105mph (in Germany you can) and it was on 1800 revs and you could not hear the engine.
I think if diesel was that much more expensive here I would not have one.
I drove a huge RV in Canada which had a gas engine. We do not run anything bigger than a car on gas, it is just too expensive. But then I think in very cold areas diesel is a problem. So we all have different factors to consider and come up with different answers. Running my car on gas would cost me about $1,000 a year more, and that is with low miles. SUVs and pickups are too big for our roads and car parks too!
This has always been the case. If you buy an expensive near luxury/luxury car, it almost always comes with a hefty maintenance bill. From what I've read, Lexus is one of the few near luxury brands with low maintenance costs. Simply put, you'd be a fool to buy a 5 year old, for example, BMW X3. If you want one, lease it new and when the term is up, DO NOT buy it! Give it back and get another new one.
Lexus isn’t “ near luxury “ lol. It’s a luxury brand
One of the beauties of a Lexus is that you can very easily buy a 5-year old Lexus And you'll be very happy for years but just regular maintenance cost nothing crazy is hiding under the hood.
@@Starfish2145 Luxury, but uglier than pretty much all luxury cars and uglier than even some non luxury like mazda. Toyota has horrible designs.
@@alb0zfinestThank you; so it's not just me that does not appreciate the design of many Toyota vehicles. I have a Mazda CX-5 (great car) and on the lookout for a slightly smaller, long term cost effective hybrid vehicle (reliability/fuel/road tax/insurance/maintenance costs). A Toyota seems to fit that bill, but to my eye their range of small/medium sized vehicles is not attractive. When paying over £32,000, I want an appealing appearance; but do appreciate that many like the Toyota styling.
Great advice .your voice is amazing 👏
My "budget" (ish) Hyundai Santa Fe (2015) is approaching 100,000 miles. I have replaced a bolt on the rear arm to enable tracking to be adjusted, electronic parking brake button (swapped myself) and replaced a front spring.
I have 2013 Santa Fe purchased by me in year 2021 , and I have driven 40,000 km so far without any issue in the engine. When I purchased the used one it had problems of engine mounts and shock absorbers and a shaking steering , seems it was very roughly used.
I had to pay for these new parts to be replaced , the cost for these was somewhere about Rs.3 lakhs ( about 3700 dollars) . that was all.
At a time I did a travelling of 30 days etc., by the time I returned back home, and clocked 40,000 km so far. But no engine issues at any time. I think Santa Fe is very reliable and parts are comparatively very cheap ( if compared to Audi, BMW etc., ). The power is 195BHP and comfort equals Audi Q5 etc.,
I live in Japan and drive a 2009 Nissan Murano. Zero repair bills so far. Toyota/Lexus gets all the glory, but I think Nissan is just as reliable, and was $5000 cheaper than a Lexus to buy.
Its not even a question of repair costs.... because it never needs repairs
Thanks for this video, really helped me to decide.... my shortlist of cars are in the top10!
Oh well back to researching.😮

I bought two 2014 Ford Edges (Limited) at the end of the program year at a steep discount. The 2015s were just arriving so I saved about $10K on each. They've been really solid so far, only basic maintenance and battery/brake replacement.
Was worried about buying American made vehicles but they've been outstanding so far.
Many Japanese vehicles are American made,but obviously are not an American owned company.As are many American vehicles made in Canada/Mexico.But are from an American owned companies.And but the way the Ford Edge production line is in-Ontario,Canada.American owned company.BUT Not built or assembled in the United States!
A lot of it is how you drive them. An angry driver can reduce his fuel efficiency by 15 percent
I remember when people said I was crazy for buying my( Still Own It)99-Chevy Blazer.Has never taken a shit on me,only thing ever replaced,battery/Alternator.Of course always maintained on time.And only 120,000 miles in over 20-years.While my neighbors 2016-Rav-4.Has had all kind a maintenance problems,and parts after warranty.The 4.3 V6 is rock solid.
My 2000 Chevy blazer was my first car and I LOVED it. The 4.3L V6 was definitely durable (a little thirsty tho).
As I watch this report, it always points out "major repairs are needed" after usually 5 years or so. Is this means even the owner took care the vehicle very good in maintenance wise, such as consistent oil changes on timely manner and all other required regular maintenance, are they all just start falling apart needing the MAJOR repairs despite good regular maintenance? Or is the report saying if the owner neglects the regular maintenance? I don't clearly understand the report, need clarifications.
A very timely video from my perspective, am looking at a 2nd hand SUV and a lot of the cars featured in this were on my list. Note 'were', they have been scrubbed!
Same lol 😂😂😂😂
I have a 2016 Discovery Sport 2.2 diesel,no major issues so far the past seven years,still going strong.
Congrats! It just goes to show that the “experts” aren’t always right! I’ve owned FORDs(Fix Or Repair Daily) and JEEPs(Just Empty Every Pocket) for over 20 years each. Never a major service issue. Been looking at getting a Disco Sport later this year.
There is only 1 car you should buy, and they are by Toyota. Having had 3 in the last 19 years, without any problems (Not even had to change a light bulb) I now have a Toyota Fortuner TRD 7 seat MPV (Not available in the USA???) that's now 6 years old other than a new battery and normal service it still looks and works like new.
I have a 2007 Rav4. An effin rust bucket. Had to replace the entire rear cross member as it had rusted out. Rocker panels now rusted out.
European car engineers should up their game . I still think there's time for change, I've always loved their cars but it's so sad to hear their running and maintenance costs, it's a little bit frustrating.
Trust me, in Europe we have same videos but about American cars… what makes cars cost effective or not are the parts and how much they cost. European parts are expensive in USA and American parts are expensive in Europe! 😊
If those videos are in europe they should also be in the US

i've had Toyota's and Lexus that were money pits, and Mercedes and Jaguars that were bulletproof reliable, What does that tell you? That these lists mean nothing.

That's why I love my old Jeep xj.

Lexus is easily the best used luxury SUV. It's basically a Toyota Venza. You can get it repaired anywhere and the parts aren't super expensive. Plus it uses regular gas not premium. Acura used to be good but they aren't anymore.

I'ed like to see this same type of video on cheap SUV's or ones like the Honda CRV or the toyota equivelant....
There are so many engine options for the F-pace you really can’t lump them together. For example the Ingenium Diesel is terrible and probably contributed to most of the major repair in the first 10 year stat. Take that out and the F-pace petrol like my 2018 30t R-Sport are very reliable.
Thanks!
Hello Friend, Thank you so much for your super-thanks donation. really appreciate it!
Is it any surprise that the most expensive vehicles are typically also the least reliable ? I had a friend who worked in a high-end stereo store, that used to refer to some of his “stupidly rich” customers, the ones who didn’t care about what they were buying as long as it cost more than their acquaintances’.
Great voice dude!
Do you have any feed back about GLC 200 (good or bad)
Well that’s precisely all the entry level and compact luxury SUV’s wow…

So glad I didn’t get the x3! It felt so cheap compared to the X5. If you have to get a cheap BMW x1 or x2 then just don’t get a luxury car. They feel like you’re ur driving a old ford. What’s the point? I drove and x1 as a loaner car from the dealer. It was the worse thing ever!
From my personal experience, people should buy whatever car they like because every vehicle maker makes vehicles that will need repairs. For example, one of my personal experiences with a none luxury vehicle is with a 2021 Kia Sportage. A Kia dealer was charging me $400 to replaced a windshield wiper hose that was damaged by a rodent while the car sits on their cars’ parking lot. According to Kia, rats often eat the electrical wiring in their cars because they are made with soy based products but there is no warranty to fix such problems so the consumers must fixed it and it can cost $400-$800 to replaced that tiny hose that cost $2.20 because Kia charges $150 per hour for labor & it’s difficult for mechanics to find the bad hose & fixed it, which I know is a total lie. 🤦♀️So, my point is this I rather buy a luxury SUV and take my chances than constantly waste my money to buy so called cheap vehicles that will cost me an arm & leg to fix anyway.
Here's the thing: I have a 2019 BMW X1 that's now 4 years old and it's never been back to the dealership once for a warranty issue. On top of that this engine is the same engine that's in the 4 cylinder Supra...Of course there's the 6 cylinder turbo. Toyota collaborated with BMW on those engines. Actually BMW sent the engines to Toyota and Toyota sent them back to BMW with a laundry list of improvement that were needed to be done before they would put it in any of their car. I heard that Toyota is using the same 4 cylinder engine in a lot of their GR performance cars. BMW is using the same engine with minor software tweaks in almost all their cars and a lot of their SUVs. I'm in my 60s and I have owned and rented (business and vacation travel) so many cars that it's too many to count. But I do remember the bad ones: Mazda: I had two, a 626 Chronos and a Protege and they were really bad. Another was my Ford Probe LX from 1989. I had 3 Nissan Maximas, a 2001 Maxima SE fully loaded which was totaled in an accident when I was hit by an 80 year old driver that was returning from a Christmas party and fell asleep at the wheel and blew through 4 traffic lights and hit me in the front corner of my car and swung me 180 degrees like a top. The car he was driving was a glorified Civic for the Canadian market: an Acura EL. The reason I mention this is because that car was so solid that it saved me any injury....in fact serious injury cause I estimate that he had to be doing between 45 - 50 MPH when he hit me and then bounced off me and hit a wall. The insurance company put me in a 2014 Maxima SL with the gated shift and that one we used to call the Friday night special because it always broke down on week-ends. The car even needed a new transmission after only 10K miles! Nissan and the dealership took the car back and put me in a 2005 Maxima SE which was an amazing car. I owned that car until the spring of 2013. Other cars I have owned: VW, Subaru, Honda (2) and many others. I can tell you that my X1 is the first car that I have owned or rented that didn't have a single defect! Mine is fully optioned and I even added a few after market parts to it. I had it programmed for more software options with a guy that came to my house and even retuned the engine for my power with a canned software made for that engine. If you add 19" wheels with performance tires and close to 300 HP you get a very capable vehicle that's just a bit bigger than a hot hatch and just as fast or faster. So I have to disagree with your assessment of the X1. And just to put the icing on the cake. I'm in Canada and when I leased my vehicle it came with 4 years maintenance and Navi updates for free and a 4 year bumper to bumper warranty. I was so impressed with it that I bought out the lease which by the way was 1% and now my loan is at 4.4% which is the lower than anything you will find now. I have a cool heads up display and the bigger 9" hi res display. The infotainment is one of the best I've ever seen. I bought the extended warranty for 3 more years and added 3 years maintenance for $500 which is the cost of 2 oil changes and includes so much more. That way it will be easy to sell in 2 years when I get the new X1 Performance Hybrid. The lesson here is that if you plan to keep the vehicle longer than 3 or 4 years outside of the warranty then buy the extended warranty and maintenance plan if offered so that if you do that you will have less money issues in the long run. How many people do you know that keep their vehicles longer than 7 - 8 years. Personally I have a few other cars in my collection including a Red 2012 G37xS coupe that is tuned and has never seen a single winter and has only 65k miles as in showroom condition inside and out.....and while on talking about this...why aren't Hyundai, KIA, Ford and Chrysler on this list? Kia engines blowing up randomly.....and Tesla having constant issue and when you but one you need to go to a body shop to have the body panels lined up.
I finally gave up on Euro cars.... Here in the States, it just isn't worth it.
They drive so nice, but they break too often.
I can't get off work to deal with the constant problems. Bought a Subaru Crosstrek for a commuter because it snows where I live....
80k so far, no trouble.... Manual trans makes it fun to drive...

In Europe wagon/sport back practicality much more popular and you have driving enjoyments, gas and maintenance saving etc Just use good winter tires !! Save on gas!
Thanks, although I’m kinda disappointed about bmw, especially considering the fact I’m waiting my x1 2023, hopefully this new platform for x1 will be much better then existing one worse in your list😂
Deep down you know that won't happen. 😂
How about the 10 lowest maintenance cost cars please?
Isnt it obvious?
Toyota and honda….
Honda /Toyota
Never thought that Mercedes -Benz GLA will cost that much in maintenance
This is an amazing video and its also a shame manufactures would put out expensive pieces of junk like these for use. No wonder you need Car Max insurance to help defray the maintenance costs.
Does their extended warranty cover a lot of mechanical errors?They have a large selection of cars I'd like..I've heard horror stories though.
Bought a BMW X1 for my wife in 2015. The car has cost me about $1800.00 in repairs above the usual oil changes. Brakes and a sensor. That's been it.
Being an all lady I relay on experts like you for help
Yes, much better than being a part lady.
He has the most calming voice....I can listen to him talk about anything
Odd as the way he says Jaguar makes me squirm
Best Equinox, 2015 no repairs for ours. ..2003 PT cruiser 1 repair radio intermittent
Awesome
Hey SUV Geek, what's your opinion on the reliability of a 2006 Porsche Cayenne V6? Anyone else can chime in too. Thanks.
Friend had one and was happy, but most people don't bad mouth what they own (until after they sell)
Voice over is the best
Just buy Japanese cars. I know 2 owners of Japanese cars (a SUV and a car) that had over 300,000 miles and never had a major repair. The owner of the Japanese car (a Toyota Corolla) doesn't have his car anymore because it got stolen from a parking lot filled with cars. The thief pick his Corolla over all the other newer cars.
During the first 10 year ownership? Most people don’t keep cars for 10 years anymore.
Gosh. Who would have thought that a Luxury Crossover would be High Maintenance?
All Ten?
Yeah, I'm just gonna hold on to my lil' civic
What about Maserati? I’m going to bet it would top the list.
I’ve had my 2018 Jaguar F pace S for almost 5 years and what a great vehicle with its V6 supercharged engine. Not to say it couldn’t have issues later.
@kidsfun you should experience the I pace in dynamic. Totally addictive
The video alluded to the fact that these repair problems generally don't happen in the first 5 years. If I were you, I'd sell that car now! It's well known that you don't keep BMWs, Mercedes Benz, Audis, etc., beyond 5 years. If you love the car, lease it for 3 years, then give it back.
@@dontbanmebrodontbanme5403 I’ve had my 750 for ten years normal wear and tear brakes rotors etc oil changes and I love my 750 135,000 going strong
it seems to be a solid car as long as you change the fluids on time.
@@ashishpatel350 thank you it gets a bad rap but I still love it I just think if u take care of your car u will be fine things happen
From experience! DO NOT, repeat DO NOT purchase a Cadillac SRX it is an unbelievable money pit.
I purchased a very low millage Cadillac SRX, no accidents, but after thousands and thousands of dollars, I has to call it quits.
What an unbelievable money pit!
