Why are you dinging these cars for being small?! They are subcompact! They are supposed to be small, and many people are looking for exactly that. Something easy to maneuver and park in a city, and slightly taller than a standard car. Dinging them for being small is like complaining a soft top convertible for not having a roof.
Agreed
I have a Yukon Denali XL and a Challenger, not to mention a truck and this size is exactly what I'm looking for. Not thrilled about driving a small car so this is a perfect size (A cross over)
@@amada5891 I went from a full sized GMC 2500 van with a 5 liter down to a 2017 Mazda Cx-3 touring because I was tired of 12-17 mpg and knew gas prices were going to keep rising. I'm glad I did. Now it costs me $30 to fill up and I can drive around for 2 weeks on that. Plus it's much easier to park and much lighter so the handling feels very sporty. At first I was a little in shock with the change, but after a few weeks I feel comfortable and know I made a good decision. By the way, I get around 34-37 mpg on the hwy, and love seeing those numbers.
@@Chrisnuzzo76 thank you for your great comment 👍
@@codykh that's why I unsubscribed from his channel!
No mention of the most important aspect of buying a car: Durability. Useless.
I only trust Consumer Reports reviews. They base their reviews on questionnaires submitted by actual owners of these cars. And CR doesn't have any advertising in their magazine.
Depends on how you drive it … how you maintain it ….
Me scrolling looking for the list of 10 cars 😩
Same 😅😅
I own the 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport S. I don't hear the CVT noise you're talking about. I was pleasantly surprised with the interior appearance and features as well as the exterior looks of the vehicle. Can fit 2 carseats in backseat with decent legroom for a compact SUV. One carseat is for my 12 year old disabled Grandson. His wheelchair folds and fits in the back cargo area very well also. I am quite pleased so far.
Funny how some of those “worst” are one of the best selling in Europe.
They can have them.
A lot of the European cars sold in the US aren't made as well and part are much more expensive.
In USA they mind only for 4000cc and spaces for the chips and sodas
A few things to consider:
Often, the crossover in question is built in a different plant for the European market.
Roads are different in Europe and even more, folks don't drive as much as the typical American driver drives.
Specifications are often HUGELY different for the American and European market.
European car buyers often buy a vehicle for the brand on the hood, NOT the price on the window sticker.
More than just Europe. The CX-3 is the top selling in Australia and the HRV is very popular.
You’re crazy if you call the Honda HR-V and Mazda CX-3 and Ford EcoSport worse than a Jeep Renegade. (Aka Renecrap)
I'm on my second Renegade, absolutely love them. Each to their own.
I think you're saying the size
Brian, call those as worst is kind of drastic , just one thing to take in account: those are subcompact crossover suvs! There is no sense expecting huge power , huge inner space , state of the art design and exquisite cockpit´s materials.
Who’s Brian?
Brian, agreed with Tubero mayor comment
I also agree. Sub compact = everything is smaller yet suitable for what the buyer needs and expects to pay.
@@everymandriver Yeah, Tuba Mayor, who the Hella is.....BRIAN, hmmmm??
Agree or disagree, that's democracy at work thank god (except on social media where there is no democracy, just instant damnation if you hold a different opinion).
wife had the chr, had a seizure behind the wheel. the front end was crushed to the firewall, & she walked away from it, excluding bruising from the seat belts/airbags
Blessings! Glad she is okay 🙌
Hallelujah that is amazing 🙏🏾
I would recommend a Honda sensing for the next vehicle
❤❤❤❤ thanks for sharing
I own a 2015 Buick Encore. Only problem has been when I needed a new battery. 5k off sticker. Got the 2 tone brown leather interior and pearl white exterior. 27mpg. Love it. Meets my needs. No regrets. Gorgeous interior always gets compliments. 😎💅
Subjective, weak, combination for me. Very selective.
Compact SUV they don't pretend to be SUVs. They are compact cars with greater ground clearance and a different driving position. That's all :)
Yeah your right my C-HR is way smaller then my Corolla 2018 XLE which is easier for me to drive.
I've owned some of these. They were great cars. Unreliable review. I don't agree.
It's opinions dear boy opinions. Agree to disagree.
@Andrew West I just don't like the 'unreliable review' bit, by all means disagree, that's opinions & debate but on social media it seems if you don't agree then this guy should be expelled for daring to do his review & opinions, by all means do your review but I hate this judgemental attitude to someone elses freely based opinions however wrong you may think it is. Democracy is based on choices to agree or disagree & acceptance of it.
I bought a 2020 Nissan rouge sports for $21000. I love it !!!! Great handling and so much offer for the base model ! It doesn’t have noisy CVT!
I got one too, and just about the same price.
it is noisy lol, if you hard acceleration to 60 it is groany and since it’s cvt it takes like 6000 rpm for it to go down .
Wait, the Nissan makes it as top 10 or number 1? What have I stumbled in to. Buick Encore and Trax owner satisfaction is very high for this class. The ecosport does have AWD but is literally bad at everything it does. The Mazda? On this list? It’s a beautiful piece of machinery and does not deserve to be here. The CHR is slow but it’s for looks not speed. HRV is so practical. This guy is bonkers.
I actually love my new 2020 Ecosport. Fun to drive, extremely comfortable and quiet ride. Lots of features for the $$. Sync 3 rocks! Can even remote start with the Fordpass app from my phone even though my car didn't come with remote start (go figure) as well as a lot of other cool features with Fordpass app. If I wanted a big car, I would buy one. Sounds like you just don't like the subcompact category but lots of people do.
I like my 2019 Echosport also. I just accepted the fact that the MPG wasn't the best.
I love mine too. I have a 2020 eco sport ❤️
i sell this ecosports,you absolutely right
Bought a '20 ecosport SE and love it. The reviewer says awd is not an option yet with the 2.0 awd is standard. The other highlights are the 2.0 is a non-turbo engine with a good reputation. Less likely to need expensive repairs on that engine later in its life. The standard transmission instead of a cvt was a big deal because this means it can tow. It has a 2000 lb tow capacity where most of the others have none at all. I have towed two full size atv's on a trailer (maxing the 2k tow capacity) and it will handle it just fine if you manual shift it when needed for hills. I get 28mpg pretty regularly and I am happy with that. The seats are comfortable. My only gripes are no spare tire, the center cupholder location sucks (should have put it in front of the shifter), and I don't like the way the wipers go from the center of the windshield out overlapping in my view.
i have a 2018 ecosport and i like it alot , lots of features also for the $$$$ (winter package) LOVE IT + 4wd(awd) ,yeah it's small and the ride is typical small car ride , and not the most powerful engine but it gets me from point A to B just fine and it's great in the snow no problems whatsoever
I’d take the Honda or Toyota or Mazda any day of the week. Putting these cars on this type of list is laughable.
You’re right 😂😂
Yes!
Exactly I see more CHR’s up my way than anything else, it’s pretty good if it’s just you
You will see the same cars if you do the best 10 sub compact suv.
Yeah, that was almost all of the subcompact SUV class, lol!
So where do we go from here? Just buy whatever?
HA!
@@holynickskates lol idk why but all these reviewers love Hyundai, Kia and skoda, occasionally simping for VW (t roc, Tiguan) 🤷♀️ the eclipse is a great one w loads of leg space, the vitara is decent but smaller
My Kona doesn’t show up on the list.
I own a Nissan Rogue sport and I love it !
It’s roomy enough without being huge. Good gas mileage.
The CVT transmission will break before it hit 100k miles. sell it.
isamisam19 well see what happens. I’m at 27k right now with no problems. But the 100k mark I’ll believe trade in for something bigger anyways.
Meka Meks I had an Altima 2008 bought it when it had 80k.. trans broke at 120k..some Nissans break 60k,70,80.. if I was u I would trade in for rav4...
isamisam19 I have 1998 Toyota RAV4 as well. Not getting rid of that thing ever! I had a brand new Jeep Cherokee before the rogue and that had so many issues. So I wanted to trying something completely different. I have a warranty. So let’s see what happens !
I own a 2016 Fiat 500x pretty happy so far. Change the oil every year and just drive 8k miles in a year.
I have a manual transmission one of 3 at the dealership and I love it. It's acutally super handy and sippy for an SUV and I got enough space for bags and stuff like that :)
I think I missed what was bad about the HRV? Is it just that with the different trim you get a little less cargo room?
I bought a 2017 Buick Encore about a month ago and it’s a great little CUV. Yeah it’s little but I didn’t need a bunch of space. Just needed enough for me, my boyfriend and our 2 goldendoodles whenever we travel. It’s extremely quiet inside
What do you think about the 2021 changan CS35 plus elite
My 83-year old mom bought a loaded 2020 Mazda CX-3, and it’s been perfect! Kinda funny Mazda made the engine loud and zoomy on purpose. She loves revving it up. For the price and reliability, it shouldn’t be on this crappy list!
For sure.
The CX-3 is the best in its class. In whst universe does somebody rate it lower than the Nissan or the Honda?
Mazda is some of the best In the class for the cx3, 30, and 5.
our ford ecosport 2018 model was good, i"ve tried on the 140kph and he does ..he is 2yrs and 6mos.old..no problem at all..
I have an SES, and I love it!!! I'm never get rid of it
I love my 2019 ecosport!
I don’t like it body
Hey Dave. Surprised to see the Mazda CX-3 on here, because you had a great off-road review on that little tike! 😏
Mazda and Honda have great reputations as well. Sure, everyone complains about "more power", but have you seen how people drive with regular power 🔋??? LOL
His entire review is a joke.
@@lesliedye1345 Can't make up his mind.
I own a 18 Mazda cx-3 Grand touring with premium package and love it. Space is going to be concern for me that's why I got it, it handles really well
who is Dave?
You have to try harder to convince me these are bad suvs. Critique like this hurts the credibility of automotive writers.
So the brakes locking up on their own isn't enough?
I had my Buick Encore for 8 years and I loved it!! It was quiet, drove so nicely, had good gas mileage, and didn’t have major issues. I would recommend it. Of course it’s not for a family of 4. It’s meant for a single person or couple or maybe just one kid.
I would say you could probably seat 4 adults reasonably comfortably. I'm 6'3'' and found the front and rear legroom to be fairly spacious in my 2013 Chevy Trax (sister vehicle to the Encore), but that's just been my experience.
I own a Ford Ecosport the milage is 28-29, and love the side opening rear door, great head room and great seat. When you exit it, you are nearly on your feet as you get out. Handles great, quite ride, zero to 60 in 10 sec. Very content with this little car.
Just 28-29miles. You don't get out much!😉.
More like Top Worst Interiors/MPG, what about engineering and mechanical reliability real reasons to buy vehicle...
You're right. But Mazda has great interiors, exteriors and engineering reliability.
Mazda is in the top 3 reliable car brands
Yeah this video is devoid of substance.
After carefully considering all the information in this video, I am now the owner of a 2021 Honda HR-V EX AWD.
Lol enjoy! 🙌
Very good choice! I have 2019 HRV and I love it.
Congrats! We love ours!
I'm debating on upgrading to an hrv I currently got a dodge dart
@@LurkingFear87, From my experience the Dodge Dart is quicker and more fun to drive. The HR-V has a better interior cargo/utility design and holds its value much better. My biggest (only) disappointment in the HR-V is its lack of acceleration.
I need to go look for his 10 best subcompact crossovers of 2020. This list does not leave many left over to make a top 10 Best.
He's bagging on some of the cars for averaging 27mpg. Never though I'd see the day when 27mpg average, was something to criticize.
He can't make one. He's already trashed the top competitors.
Got my daughter a 2020 Kicks, lots of tech and safety features plus good cargo for the price. Added extended warranty to cover any potential CVT issues.
Cvt issues?
@@SbfWill Nissan has had issues with their variable transmissions.
Am looking at 2021 and was getting worried with all the neg comments
@@melissajkxoxo I agree, I’m looking at 2021 Kicks and want an honest review? What is so bad about the CVT transmission?!?!
@@janetschumpert9660 I did buy mine a year ago. Love it so far! Most of the reading I did was more about older years but love my kicks and will just keep up with my maintenance.
The EcoSport does have an AWD option? Where are you getting your information from?
Wait 5 years and do the list again on these same Vehicle's for these years....
3 years later rogue sport looks worse but got better engine
My Rogue Sport CVT can sing to me all it wants. I love it.
😂😂😂😂 The music will drown the noise while I'm on my merry way.
Me too, I love my Rogue.
Thank you, me too, I love ROGUE SPORT
My dad’s got a Qashqai/Rogue Sport. So far so good
Renault Kadjar with dual clatch feels alot more quality even if they are same cars from Group Renault.
I bought a 2019 Ford Titanium Ecosport back in July. Absolutely LOVE the vehicle. Handles wonderfully in all conditions and on all road types. And it is 4WD! You were only sharing about the bottom line of the Ecosport.
Yes, I bought mine used ~ it only had 10,400 miles on it when I purchased the vehicle and I paid under $18,000 for the car.
I will admit it doesn’t have much leg room in the back-seat but for my purpose of a vehicle it’s perfect!
Next time you do reviews, please consider sharing about each “tier” of each model - they do vary greatly and you are NOT giving proper or enough information to the consumer.
Also got a EcoSport and have none of the negative things on it that this bloke talks about!I think his confused !!!
He's given his opinions & you have responded with yours. You can't order him to do his opinions with your input. You must set up your post with your options & structure. What's happening with our freedom of speech since social media has entered our lives. I'm 70 & here if you give a reply with opinions you get savaged & really abusive replies like how dare you say different. This is especially with the young adults 16-20s. They really don't understand democracy & freedom of speech & expression unless it agrees with theirs. Of course since Trump appeared it really got bad in terrible slanging matches. Schools & parents are letting them down on how to behave in debating issues. The future is bleak.
Now you have to make best ones in this category all car on my list are listed here . Shine some light 💡 (NEED)
is there any left? lol
Crossovers are inherently rubbish imo
@@kingsamvisuals a very subjective statement, and very unfounded since crossovers are selling like crazy.
jp ch subjective yes. And ofc they sell well. Everyone wants a big suv without actually buying an suv. My problem with them is that they try too hard to be suv and are really just big cars. Built on car platforms. The rugged performance just isn’t there.
@@kingsamvisuals No one wants rugged performance except a minority...Crossovers are comfortable,fuel efficient,spacious, and have some off road ability (brands like Audi,Subaru,VW,BMW etc make great AWD)
I played this back at 1.25x speed and it pretty much sounded normal. nice list.
Lmao thanks for the heads up
I don’t know others. I just know Mazda CX-3 is one of the best I ever drive.
Just bought the 2021 CHR, We love it! The fuel mileage is great, the stereo very nice, the reception for radio is better than all the cars we tried, it’s very comfortable. The back seats fold perfectly flat, gets good cargo space. The steering wheel is nice, love the heated seats, steering wheel and heated mirrors. It’s also got the puddle lights with Toyota CHR and the mirrors fold flat when the door is locked.
FWIW I had a 2015 Buick Encore. Got 60,000 trouble free miles. It was slow and required mid grade gas to keep it running smoothly. Traded it for a 2019 Buick Encore. It's more peppy. Handles and rides great. Runs on regular fuel. Get around 30mpg in mixed driving. Not a fan of stop/start technology, but you get used to it.
I believe you can stop the start/stop
@DontWorryAboutIt This model year you can't. But, later models you can. However, I am a believer that it does save gas overall.
@@kennypughcountrymusic5767 ah okay. Yeah the start/stop does save on gas of what I hear
this list feels like its made by a 7 year old
It was, nice job, you get a sticker today LOL
@@everymandriver well your reply underlines my statement.
*Triggered* 😅 Which one do you drive mate?
That’s funny, I own a Ecosport and I love it! We have had it for two years and bought it brand new. The spare tire is not an issue because it comes with emergency kit. Besides, people call roadside assistance now more then changing spare tires. The backseat has more room then our original Honda CR-V. I love the sunroof and the All wheel drive! Great vehicle, I’d have to disagree with you.
I have a new 2020 Outlander sport SE, brown. Love the exterior look, and rims. Interior is good..not great. Power sluggish take off. But I tend to drive in Sport. I purchased it because i own a cla250 and wanted a travel suv. The price after rebate was just under 17k, yes, 17k... its fwd. Ive had it for 6 months, and other than lack power..im satisfied. Very good warranty. Mitsu engines last forever and maintaining it is on the low end. Thanks for review!
Save your money for the inevitable expensive repairs once its out of warranty.
@@fubartotale3389 it has a 10 year warranty
@@fubartotale3389 I took my last Mitsubishi to 186k before experiencing ANY problems, so...it might be a while.
Well, I'm not an expert but I have an hrv and I think is very good. If you want to race, get a racing car.
I just purchased a 2016 HRV ex and I love it.
I don't get it either. He starts out by saying it's better than all competitors in its class, complains a bit about a choppy ride,and that's it.
I'm betting your HRV will catch up to the Chrysler when it breaks down.
I'll never understand why these so-called experts are respected with their opinions. When reviewing a car such as a compact or subcompact vehicle you should never expect it to ride like a luxury car or have acceleration like a Bugatti. They are purpose-designed vehicles to transport people and get good gas mileage. There's too much snobbery on the CZcams reviews when it comes to saying how an inexpensive econobox should match up against a premium Lexus. The best way to know about any given car is to talk to someone who has owned it for a while ask them about their personal experience.
Agreed. Hondas are very reliable and retain their value. If you want bigger get a CRV.
Dont know if someone is reading this, but if you are: You are amazing and beautiful! I believe in you! ❤️
Beautiful 😍
I'm not a GM guy, but my daughter really likes her 2019 Buick Encore. It drives nice, is quiet, gets good mpg.
My sister has the top model. She couldn't be happier. What's wrong with not driving an Acura, an Audi or a BM?
Your other video on the Mazda CX3 was not really negative, so I’m confused why it’s on this list. I have a 2017 one and love it.
I drove one as a Rent-A-Car not surprised at all it sounds whiny when accelerating and being on the highway. A transmission is lanky and loud
Source is Car and Driver.
I also have a 2017 CX-3 Touring FWD and think it's great. Great mpg, comfortable interior, and quicker than most of the cuv's available. As far as engine whiny? I don't hear it whining. It's a 2 liter with 146 hp in a 2800 lb car, it's not supposed to sound like a 6 liter Hemi, lol. What sound did you expect from a 29/34 mpg car?
Nobody on here sticking up for the trax? I have a 19 and love it. It's all in what you're looing for. Mine has a roof rack and I put a towing package on there. I live in the city but I go outside on the weekends. I love the look and it hasn't let me down either!
They are very good, I just wish they offered their other engines (seen in Europe) too, not just the 1.4 turbo. I wouldn't be giving mine up if not for the engine, I am currently babying it by not driving too hard and using 91 octane gas. They need oil changes done on time and coolant levels to hold for the turbo to work efficiently.
I bought a 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport. The worst thing about a smart looking SUV was the lack of take off speed.
I have HRV 1.5 with 184 hp, manual gearbox and its one brilliant car.
I didn't know they made the HRV with the 1.5 turbo, I bet that would be a great car, it's just a bit slow here because we don't get the turbo
@@nicholasbabeaux2052 Europe.. The engine in North America is a 1.8 lite civic engine since 2006
I made a mistake straying from the scotty Kilmer channel.
Agreed 😂
"If ya' don't drive a '94 Celica, a meteor is gonna drop from outer space and land on ya', so ya' might as well just get a '94 Celica"..........LOL
Scrotty is just a biased has been. Shluuuurrrs his way through his ramblings with poor pronunciation of brands etc, don't know why the hell anyone would take him seriously.
The Honda HR-V sounds pretty decent to me...
Great vehicle - we love ours!
I just don't understand with all of today's modern technology, car makers don't make these crossovers with better gas mileage. These are ridiculously low.
$21,000 for a EcoSport? That ain't cheap for what you're getting. That is highway robbery!
I have the SES. Drive one first! You will be surprised
On sale fr 17k now
Lol thought I was going to have to defend my Kona!
Haha right !😂😂😂
Love my Kona🤙 Ask me why
Anthony Edwards why?
I drove a 2020 Hyundai Kona back in March when I was in Texas. Love that car and now that I am in the market, she is definitely on my very short list. That and the Honda HR-V.
How come my 2014 crosstrek xv Judder in a slow drive.? Then I brought my car to subaru ang yhey want to change transmission for $11k .. i was shocked! As of now i cannot do that. I dont feel transmission needs to be changed. I ask them to changed the fuel filter might be clogged but their response was they didn’t see any signals on the dashboard to change for it. Please help
I have a 2020 kicks and love it. Sure it’s not quick but fits myself, the gfs 2 daughters and in the trunk two 15” subwoofers, 3 amplifiers and 8 additional speakers. Added the roof racks and cage to give me the space I used up in the trunk.
I’ve been looking at a 2021 kicks and was starting to get worried with some comments I see
Correction. The Mazda CX3 is a good deal smaller not larger than a CX30.
... and it looks like a hockey skate.
I just bought a new C-HR nightshade edition and i love it!!
As a 30 year Toyota driver, I actually considered buying one. Just one teeny tiny problem. I can't find one available in a 150 mile radius from where I live. 🤷♀️
@@davester1970 it's the chip shortage. I keep finding 2018 used but I need the 2019 version since it has Apple Carplay but I really wanted a 2021 or 2020 but they are all low in stock right now.
@@davester1970 good luck. My sister was interested also and couldn't find one either
I am glad the Hyundai SUV's or crossovers are not on this list.
Hyundai is not applicable products
Not considering
Actually in other countries that Nissan is called qashqai the rogue is a different model
Have 3 Outlandrr sports 2 with the 2.4L engine. Yes a bit small on space. But no issues whatsoever. 4WD in snow. Not a “showy” car but best value for the dollar. I find Mitsubishi dealers really willing to work with you. They are great for college students.
While not sub-compact, I had a 2017 Mits Outlander GT and wish I wouldn't have traded it. Good mileage, would tow 3500 pounds, rode smooth, ample room and the best AWD system I've driven. Not to mention a 5 year BTB and 10 year drive train. Didn't hold value and traded it - should have considered it's good traits instead of worrying about retained value.
Well look at it this way, would you rather spend $20,000 on a car with a "loud CVT", or as much as a house on a pickup?
Had a rougue sport for 2 years Until somebody hit it. We did not have any complaints about it. It was not the fastest thing on the road but it was a good vehicle.
Same. No complaints really.
I had accident with rogue sport last week, but surprised that I was not getting as hurts as I thought it would be. It’s good suv for me, especially for the small space in the back. It’s a small deal tho
ours got totaled. it was a 17 pearl white sv with the fog lights/leather steering wheel. i miss it.
Love that dude that blows a stop sign in the Buick. Great driving.
i know i own a ford so this will sound very biased but here me out.
here is what i got from your dislikes for the ford ecosport: it's slow, cramped, and gets bad mpg. every suv in this segment is slow and cramped, and while the mpg is not excusable (my escape gets the same mpg), there is no reason to not like it besides the fact that it's ugly, to me at least. it has one of the cheapest base prices, it can tow what's considered "ultra-lightweight" campers, which most if not all in this segment can't, and the 2.0 N/A engine that comes with the awd models is an old mazda engine, meaning it's a 300,000+ mile engine if taken care of. i would choose the kona/seltos and the mazda CX-3/CX-30 over it but that't about it, the rest are either unreliable, aren't rated to tow, or just not my taste. the HRV is a nice option, so is the buick but it lacks reliability.
Mazda isn’t as reliable as a Toyota and I would go with the CH-R because it’s got standard advanced safety tech, standard dual zone climate control, looks better, has great safety rating, it has 10 airbags, and it will last a long time and let’s not forget the comfy pressure point free seats and the exterior and interior colors you can get.
Connor Durham the c-hr doesn't come with awd and i'm an essential worker who needs to get to work rain, snow, sleet or hail. i live in the blue ridge mountains so i'm always going up hills so i need the extra traction
I have the 18 Ecosport SES! Amazing SUV class leading ground clearance, and towing!! Quick and fun to drive
Had a rental Rouge Sport for a week trip to Vegas. The CVT was rubber band-like, easily confused, and gave off a burning smell in stop n go traffic. Oh, and the rear hatch rattled the entire time. I returned it and complained. The rental agency only charged me half of the bill because they said they've had a lot of complaints about the Rouge Sport rear hatch rattling or simply popping open because the hatch latch breaks easily. No wonder Nissan is on the edge of bankruptcy.
what you think about a mitsibistsh RVR?
Ecosport are AWD where I live. It’s a rarity the dealerships I go to get a FWD one.
I’ve watched dozens of other reviews on this market segment and driven several of these SUVs as well. The Mazda CX-3 is by far at the top of the class, followed by the Nissan Rogue Sport. The Ford Ecosport is almost the worst of the bunch, but it takes a backseat to the Jeep Renegade. And the Honda HRV is a major disappointment as well. It’s cramped, needs more power, and lacks space in the rear seat and cargo area.
Wait, you call the HR-V cramped, but call the CX-3 best in class by far? How about no, Scott?
@@ChrisBrown-pz2gu yes I do, because it is. And stop calling me Scott.
@sambethune and the CX-3 isn't cramped?
@@ChrisBrown-pz2gu I never said it wasn’t. But the CX3 and its successor, the CX30, are superior to the HRV.
@sambethune in your opinion. My wife and I test drove both, plus several others. The CX-3 is nice looking, but it's practicality is nearly zero (especially compared to the HR-V). I guess it depends on what you value the most/are looking for.
The 2020 Nissan Rogue Sport's CVT/Engine aren't noisy at all unless you're gunning it. It's actually a very pleasant riding CUV with a great reliability and safety record.
Nissan's cvt has great reliability??????
While the video is clumsy and lacks depth it’s nice to see someone who isn’t just promoting vehicles and basically in PR or sales. I’d agree many of these cars are undesirable, but beauty is also in the eye of the beholder. What everyone wants is a reliable vehicle that won’t be in the shop regularly and cost lots in repair bills. Many of these vehicles definitely would fall on that list. Nissan’s CX-30 is one lower priced crossover that delivers. Step ups to the CX-5 or Subaru Forester are worth the money. Worth mention many newer cars especially crossovers have poor visibility in rear blindspots with the Forester being one exception.
Agreed 👏👏👏👏Blessings Always 🙏
Just list the entire subcompact suv segment lol
ur gonna argue with car and driver lol
I was surprised that the Toyota suv and Honda suv made your list because I see a lot of these 2 SUV’s often on the interstate
If you are looking for small, economy, good on gas, fun to drive, easy to park and mostly affordable any of these are great, just pick the one you like and fits you the best. Dont know why these people give all these bad ratings. If you want and can afford a costly big car then go for it just leave these to us who like the small ones.
What about any reviews on the Chrysler PT Cruisers, if they are reliable or not reliable?
They still make those🤔?
I owned a used car dealership and had plenty PT Cruisers on the lot, and I wouldn't recommend one to my worst enemy. Horrible seating position. Horrible interior. Horrible engine. Garbage reliability. There's actually nothing I like about them. Do yourself a favor and look at a different vehicle. We only sold them because they were really cheap to pick up at the auction.
He seems to bring up speed a lot. SUVs and crossovers are not fast. They are practical 🤯
Totally agree
Why not? Some people want sporty as well.
Robert Meyers in a suv? u racing moms at trader joes?
@@goosty17 sometimes other reasons lead you to an SUV. Performance is sometimes something wanted. Honestly not on this list but I have several Performance oriented SUVs on my top ten list that I am going through for my next car/suv.
@@inkandbarrel to be fair, if I wanted a sporty crossover, I wouldn't be looking at any of these vehicles in the first place. I would move on to a used Alfa Romeo Stelvio or even a Ford Explorer sport
Honda HR-V is great, at least the Canadian version :)
Its world's 10th most selling vehicle ❤❤
Canadian version? That car is made in Mexico
Love my hrv
I bought a brand Jeep Renegade, 4x4, in Dec 2018, and I still don't regret it. I agree though, that interior cargo space is small, found this out when I couldn't fit a 70-inch tv which was new in box, I had to call Mom and her Rav4. However for mojority of my cargo needs the space is good enough. Ai like the boxy styling of the Renegade as I do like the interior layout as well. Also is the backs seat is rommier that it appears. Feedback from backseat passengers of all heights have been pleasantly surprised. I'm glad at least my Renegade was towards the bottom of this list. Don't shy away from this car.
i wish you list which is the worse as far as reliability. I mean will they break down before 50k miles or 100k miles?
So the Honda HRV and Mazda CX3 are WORSE than a Jeep Renegade?? That's an interesting take on reality you have!
Not sure how you can make the small capacity of the car a sticking point when this is the subcompact SUV class they are supposed to be judged on the cargo size as it relates to being COMPACT...
or for anything, for that matter. thats why there are lux brands, for the bells and whistles...
Ok , thank you . I'll keep my old Outback 2011 3.6 that make on the highway 26-27 mpg at 75mph.
Sir, I want to buy a new car, what do you think about VW Tiguan sel 2020?
Your opinion is very important to me.
Thank you sir.
Have you done a Test drive?
@@everymandriver yes, I did it and I like Tiguan
No Hyundai’s on this list? Good to know.
This video is How to destroy car sales.!
Love the kid at the end of your vids! Subbed and liked!
The vehicle known as Rogue Sport in the U.S. is the Quashqai in Europe. It sells EXTREMELY well in Europe because....BIG SURPRISE, Europe doesn't get the CVT. Depending on trim level, they have a choice between a manual or a " regular " automatic transmission.
Didn't think HR-V would be on the list 😩
Also agree... but car reviewers ding the CVT in the HR-V.
Why? It’s ugly, not fun to drive, stiff, uninspiring and has a CVT... no thanks lol. Only thing that it has going for it is the storage space is good for the class and fuel economy is good. There are better options out there though.
Honda’s are tin cans
Me too, I thought the CH-R wouldn’t either but it was.
@@MrMoose-mf1oy it is not ugly at all. It is not stiff at all. It has a cvt, best cvt in the business. Good storage space? What do you mean? It is great WHOLE INTERIOR SPACE ARRANGEMENT! Good fuel economy? Is it any better??? It is most practical! Uninspiring? Like CHR and any other try to copy hrv practical concept and ideas?
It's going to be hard finding a vehicle without a stupid CVT soon.
Sure, its all about the money. Its a cheap transmission to make, but doesnt last long & expensive to fix. Throw away actually. Just like home appliances.
That's why I have the 18 Ford EcoSport SES!! Amazing ride, GO ANYWHERE AWD with Torque vectoring. Quick, and fun to drive
Why exactly are the HRV up there...what because it’s got a choppy ride on some surfaces?
Nice video! I'm not crazy about none os those crossover 🤮
Don't care what this guy says, I love my 2020 Honda HR-V EX AWD
Me too! I have it in the color Metallic! Such a unique color. I love it. Honda’s last forever.
100%
I'm going to disagree with you somewhat on the HRV. We lived with one last year and long story short, it is not with us anymore. We ended up replacing it with a CX-5 GT just before Covid hit. There are actually things I miss about the HRV. As a second car it was great in the winter, as much room inside as the CX-5, actually more comfortable up front for me as the seats in the CX-5 are hard and narrow. Space wise, Honda finds space in a small package like magic whereas the CX-5 is quite a bit larger on the outside, but no different on the inside and without the magic seats, some things actually fit better in the HR-V. I HATED the CVT and will never buy another CVT based car... NEVER. HR-V makes a great second car, grocery getter type thing and great in the winter
The 1.5 motor uses a half a quart of oil every 2000 miles it's junk
@@garyeisenzimmer1542 we never had that issue at all. The HRV uses the old Civic engine and is rock solid. The CVT is the issue. I trust the engine in the HRV more than their new 1.5T's.
So small legspace on back seat is bad thing? How much do you think my 5y old and 9m old kids need legspace?
Have gotten your hands on the Bronco Sport yet? I am loving the look, but curious how it drives in day to day conditions as I have a long commute over poor quality roads.
I love the HRV but it really needs more power, I will like to see it with the CRV power
Both the HRV and CRV should have the 2.0t and 10 speed auto.
Europe hrv is 1.5turbo 184hp
Then it wouldn't cost the same. Expect the price hike then.
@@Guncannon probably it will go up, i believe could be around 400 to 700 (lets say 500) dollars more, which i guess is still acceptable
No, it'll go up way more than just a few hundreds. It's not just the engine, all the components around it will also needs to be change along with it. Everything adds up. It'll be more likely will cost an extra $1000 or could be more.
You can get a Toyota Camry or Honda Accord for the same price of any of these.
I'm pretty sure people purchasing SUV don't care about Camry or Accord. They're just different car types.
And?
have you reviewed the best/worst hybrids, (affordable) EV, PHEV ?
I have a 2018 Buick Encore preferred 2 sport utility and it awesome it's all about what you prefer and clearly he doesn't care for small SUV's
