Please stop talking about the s2000. It’s an awful car and everyone should avoid buying them so the values can stay low so I can afford to buy one and suffer for everyone else.

For the record, you should definitely check the S2000 oil level regularly. Especially if you spend much time in VTEC. They use a bit.
Same with older VVTI cars
The prelude is smiling that you overlooked him and his oil dependency
I just got a s2000 2 days ago so I’ll keep that in mind thanks

@@KrakenXE how many miles?
The S2000 and the phrase "without breaking the bank" don't go in the same sentence.
Only sentence that works: “You’ll never get a clean s2000 without breaking the bank” lol
I just got a 176k mile MINT condition S2000 for $13.5
@@PuReGhOsTT where at lol
Definitely
370z was definitely the most reliable car I ever owned. Drove it hard, hit the rev limiter at least twice a week, revved to 8000 rpm, never had issues or signs of wear. Amazing car, and people sleep on the VHR as an engine, it's just a great engine.
Is it a sports car bc my wont let me get a sports car and i like the 370
Yeah, nothing wrong with the car, but a lot of crap owners doing dumb mods ruin them. The car itself is solid AF.
Planning on getting one so really glad to hear this (:
Is it loud?
@@TeoLovesMayo Is it a car?
4:25 "for the time" it's still plenty today, why do people online act as if a base Yaris comes with 750HP stock?
400hp is pretty respectable
Most likely because today so many people are so hungry for horsepower. So any time anything isn’t 500+ Hp it’s slow or boring.
@@luismiguelruiz4290 a lot of people also don't consider weight, a 3000lb car with 400 wheel will be a lot faster than a 6000lb car with the same power.
@@Prestiged_peck very good. Weight is everything. People can't seem to understand that. Removing about 500 pounds will make you quicker than a bunch of bolt-ons. Not to mention it's alot less stress on your engine and trans because it doesn't have to work near as hard. Less stress on tires, brakes and suspension. Watch your wheel weight too. Bigger rims are fine if they are lighter than the stock wheels. Otherwise, it's too much stress on the wheel bearings and axles and if you have an auto trans you can kiss it goodbye.
@@Whats-It-To-Ya yes this Is all so true.
I’ve had my FR-S for three years and the only thing I’ve had to replace is my clutch. It’s been super reliable and stupid easy to work and learn on.
bro you're supposed to replace the oil every 3 months /s
Hate to break it to you, but an frS is slower than a civic si. It's far from a performance car
@@bigreddaman5988
Hate to break it to you but it’s not slower than a civic; especially not around any track or twisties
@@CarsOverPeople it actually is though. They're fun cars for what they are and they're a great base platform. But in stock trim they don't really outperform any of their competitors.
@@CarsOverPeople love the frs, great platform to work on and learn on not to mention they look great.. but unfortunately, stock vs stock, the si is faster especially in the turns
I just love how all these cars are N/A, they really haven't been getting much love in the sports car segment these days.
N/A is the way. Plus, it's more reliable than a boosted engine of equivalent power. Not to mention an even power band, no waiting for spool-ups and no lag. Turbos are a better bang for the dollar (usually) but there's alot of 💩 that comes with it. A built N/A motor just sounds so perfect.
@@Whats-It-To-Ya Can't agree with you. Maybe 10+ years ago sure. But these days turbos are much more reliable than in the past and the piping is made of synthetic materials, the sealing is a lot better so you don't get boost leaks. At least on Japanese cars. Audis are still shit and leak like an old man's pee hole. Boosted engines usually come with stronger internals can can be tuned to put out a lot more power than stock.
@Shawndon 232 I'm saying new turbo systems are far more reliable than old turbo systems. Everybody knows n/a will make your engine last longer cuz there's less hoses n less possible spots for oil leaks.
@@Lofi.z34 n/A engines are more reliable because they don't have as much pressure in the cylinders cause they're not boosted when you boost a car you're introducing more pressure inside the cylinders which can cause more wear if not taken care of has nothing to do with more hoses and piping lol
love my full bolt on na sr20de.
Damn guys, this was a really well made video. The structure and delivery of the content was super clean. Liking the way y’all always improving on your vids.
Honestly the 370z is still the perfect blend for a reliable and affordable sports car, it's relatively modern inside new models were on sale up until last year os parts are everywhere unlike many entries here and and is can be used for pretty much anything.
Even in terms of power it makes as much as some of the V8 on the this list.
are theses considered sports cars on insurance
@@cw1ss yeah I think so
C5 engine and drivetrain is pretty rock-solid. The body electronics aren't the best though. Expect your window regulators to fail regularly. HVAC actuators also like to go out. I've had to fix a ton of little crap on mine. Parts are generally cheap though.
That’s the first fast car I want! V8 power with pop up headlights!
@@gusl9000 That reminds me, headlight motors. The nylon gears on these will invariably strip, as well as the bump stops. The motors are very expensive, but metal replacement gear kits are reasonably priced. While you have the assembly apart, don't lose the special little shoulder bolts on the top hinge, as they are unobtanium. Light output from the stock headlights is also COMPLETE GARBAGE.
That's the beauty is cheap aftermarket support. All common failure points are generally easy to replace on that car
@@adrianhayden7430 There are a handful of discontinued parts with no real replacements. The EBCM on pre 2000's cars comes to mind.
@@jasepoag8930 of course, and those really suck. But compared to a lot of other cars, a c5 is still an amazing bargain
some ppl gonna laugh or think I’m crazy but the IS250 and 350 are good, reliable fun to drive cars. the 350 is obv much faster and handles a bit better than the 250 but they both have a nice sound once you straight pipe or upgrade the exhaust in some form. And there’s a decent aftermarket for the mechanical and cosmetics of the cars
No doubt! And that awd factor is a huge bonus!!
fbo is250 done 40k trouble free in it from when i got it and it’s been less then 5 years and if you can throw like 3-6k at rr racing and ur set
The IS 250 with direct injection is a pile of junk, but the IS 350 is a great car. The direct injection motor needs to be roto rootered every few years with the huge amounts of carbon build up.
I genuinely think it’s one of the most underrated practical sports cars for under 10k, with just a tune, headers and an exhaust these cars zip to 0-60 in around 4.5 seconds
RSX Type-S looks great, has lots of aftermarket support, and is of course reliable and can be found for under $10K all day long. Just try and find one that hasn’t been abused, good luck with that.
"find one that hasnt been abused". IF you can even find one, you will pay for it.
Went with the 8th gen civic si fa5, paid way less, more doors. I call it the fwd s2000
You’ll have to find some old lady that has one honestly.
@Noah Castro then you get gapped cuz a type s running 20 lbs on built internals and a sick ass suspension set up
@Noah Castro you’d be surprised man some of those things are rocket ships😂😂I got a buddy that has a video of him in a turbo type s on stock internals neck and neck with a hellcat

@@johnmay6432 that's a beautiful story my friend, exactly what I love to hear. If I can mans a suggestion.
Immediately install a catch can on it. The GDi engines can cake up pretty bad, so a catch can is essential. Don't waste your money on a $150+ kit unless you just want the brand logos on the can and hoses. Mishimoto already uses a generic can that you can find on amazon for $20-$50 depending on size. And if you really want the logo, buy a mishimoto replacement bracket for the can. Tbh it's what I did and it just looks like a real can... kinda cause it's the same exact thing they sell lol
R129 LOVE! I own a 1992 Mercedes 500SL with the older v8 and the hydro 4 speed, but its damn quick, comfy, and pretty easy to throw nitrous at! Mine was only $3k, and is a rock solid piece of german muscle!
The IS300 doesnt seem to get a whole ton of love. Especially for being a nicer car with that solid 2JZ-GE
in my city they are over rated by far lol
@@polkadotbooty it really depends where do u live. Here in Poland IS300 is not a very common tuner build, but u see them at drift tracks
@@_nuclearism3433 looking to buy a is300 and bring it home since we only got the is200 where i live. But the 300 is so difficult to find in europe. A polish friend told me about otomoto. You woudnt know of any other PL car market sites? :D

I like civic si’s I’ve just come to understand that they sound like trash and there’s nothing I can do about it
@@bennyb7991 Civics sound like trash because people put cheap exhausts on them. Anything from Magnaflow, Mugen, Borla or HKS will sound great. Stay away from the Ebay garbage. Same goes for header too. eBay intakes are fine...
Genesis Coupe. I'm at 150,000 no issues at all. Any car will last if you do your maintenance and don't let any old Joe work on it.
with ya brotha! bk2 3.8
Unless you buy used, things can fail without you missing maintenance
I bought a Lexus ES330 used, and the transmission went out. Had the fluid and everything checked out when I bought it and I fixed a lot on it (timing belt, exhaust, suspension components, thermostat ect)
And everyone told me those cars last till 300,000 miles no problem
I bought mine used and been having it for 1 and a half the only problems I have is the starters going bad and my fin at the top just fell off one day
Can’t wait for the Nissan 400Z
Probably won’t be as reliable but we shall see!
Its gona be available manual...at least...
The 3.0tt engine in the Infiniti Q50/60 had some initial turbo issues, but they seem to be fixed now. As long as it’s not a DE revup lol
@@NuclearPineapple I heard if you go FBO on those engines, you would have to upgrade those turbos and belt issues but other than that, they are reliable!
@@assxmption1471 The belt issue was fixed in later models, one of the pulleys was misaligned in the initial first 2 yrs of the VR30. But just like the VQ37, first years up to 2012 there was a known issue with the gallery gasket. And yeah, the VR30's turbos are tiny so doing to much to this engine and a lot of hard driving wouldn't be good for them without an upgrade for reliability and longevity. I own a 2019 Q60RS and so far no issues. My daily is a 2013 G37 sedan and under the hood wise I've only replaced the serpentine belt and battery. 125k on it but I have had other electronics issues in the cabin... smh
@@odgreen808 Oh ok, thanks for spitting some more facts for me lol! I'm looking at getting an 13' G37 sedan or Q60. I would want the Q60 but I would want to build the car and do all the performance stuff then I would have spend a ton on turbos... or go the G37 NA route and do all that without needing to worry about Forced Induction.
For the past year I’ve owned a 1997 Ford thunderbird and honestly it’s been one of the most fun cars I’ve own. For what you can get them for they are a SC v6 or NA v8 and rwd. And they can be tuned to the moon and back with the modular 4.6 found in literally every Ford it’s just an amazing starter v8 for anyone to own
Lexus isf Toyota reliability, 412hp stock, sedan, ton of aftermarket support due to being compatible with some 350 and 250 parts, underrated for sure!
Yeah I want that next! I got a GS and I never want to stray away from Lexus, so smooth, powerful and reliable.
Yup people are sleeping on theses beauties

If only I could afford a C6 or s2k for fun and reliability but I'll just have to stick with only fun with my 98 2.5rs
first gen 2.5rs😫😫
My FR-S was so incredibly reliable, but then it spun a bearing at 92k miles on my way to work. It was very well maintained and rarely beat on. After seeing how common this is, I really don’t think it should’ve made the list.
This happened to me too but it’s covered by the dealership as a manufacturer defect. Not all of them have it luckily and if it happens they will repair it for free
Love my 99 R129!! So glad it’s getting a resurgence of love
I've been surprised that my 04 GTO has been surprisingly pretty ducking reliable at 130k and I've replaced one major thing.... an alternator. It's also the easiest car I've ever worked on for maintenance.

My ls swapped 88 Ford ranger is a pretty awesome little mini muscle truck. Got it all done with a 427 kit done on the ls for 7 grand. Love my little shoplifter.
5th gen camaros are coming down in price and use the same LS3 (if buying manual, L99 if auto) as the C6 corvette. You get that LS durability in a car that's made in 2010-15, so it's kinda new in the grand scheme of things, plus, it's crazy easy to work on if you need to. They're seen as the poor man's corvette, but they sure can have some fun.

thanks
I mean you have to put on mind that A LOT OF PEOPLE DO NOT TAKE CARE OF THEIR VEHICLES , FROM CAR PEOPLE TO NON-CAR PEOPLE. That's why I had to settle with something boring, what it was fun people damaged it :(
I speak of the used market btw!
I was gonna be looking a car to buy this week I needed this video
Every s2k for sale in Canada is minimum 30k, I'm honestly getting kind of tired of people saying they can be budget sports cars, every other car on this list I could buy for 10k cheaper at least
It's a shame that rarely do U.S. "budget" lists match the Canadian market. Lots of vehicles are just absurdly overpriced.
Was watching a different CZcams video when this one caught my eye and I immediately dipped over here
I'm driving an old Ralliart right now but I'm a Z boy at heart, with a wife and two kids that I have to haul around all year so my next car was probably gonna be a GT86. I'm glad both cars got representation right here. It'll be easier to convince my wife to get either one
Focus ST! Just ask Dakota. Don't bring up the ringland failure on the Cobb OTS tunes tho 😅
I have yet to break my 2010 370. I am rough on it too. 63K on the od. No issues. even slammed on coil overs. I still have no issues aside from scraping on everything.
Yeah these engines are great, my g37 got 145k and still drives good
@@bob-kq6xl I bet it does. The VQ 37 has some great torque on the bottom. I can rip massive doughnuts in 2nd with minimal heat build. I plan to get an oil cooler before I build on it.
Don't forget about the best combination of performance, luxury, reliability, and affordability: the Infiniti G37.

I’m planning on trading in my 16 civic and to get a 370z so I’m really glad to hear they are reliable from both y’all and forums I’ve looked through (:
went through the same thoughts. bought an e30 318, handles great, fun but not fun enuf. got a falcon hot rod, needs lots of mods to handle, goes fast but not around corners. so then i got a foxbody, very quick, handles good. basically just ok. still needs mods to do both better to be a performance sports car. so got myself a vette. best of all worlds. needs nothing unless i want to set land speed records. seats two? no big deal, just me and the wife at home. still have all the others tho, any takers? :)
I have a Lexus Sc300 not a fast car by any means but it’s literally bulletproof and just won’t die. So far I’ve been dealing with a malfunctioning car alarm and a loose wiper lead.
I must admit the old Mercedes aren’t that unreliable. My mums S-Class 320 2008 has about 350,000 miles and has never has broken down.
I have a 2012 challenger r/t classic, I haven't had any real problems with it and I got it for pretty cheap
Yh, dodge vehicles are lasting alot longer than ppl expected. Especially with all the producing they do of high hp vehicles they do.
Honda prelude, my '88 was a tank, my 01 gave me its first real mechanical problem last month. Went strong for 20 years and I drove that thing all over the place.
Just bought a MINT 07 ap2. Sold my paycheck for it but oh well. I love it
370z before 2013 have the gallery gasket issue which can be super expensive
I can’t express how much fun my gt86 is to drive and it’s quite reliable
My online bud with a 2017 says the same. I went with an 88' Supra myself. His seems like a really nice car and hell we both got Toyotas so not sure why either isn't on this list.
Too bad the cheapest one I found was $10k and it needs work. I'd get one but people are nuts for these things. Not to mention a miata is faster stock vs stock. About 2 seconds faster to 60 actually lol. If the brz dropped to at least like 5k with some minimal work needed it'd be a way more feasible option. Shit I'd almost rather get a dart rallye. The 1.4 turbo can handle a good amount of power. The only problem is the manual transmissions suck ass.
@@jerodwolford2743 Picked up my NA/Auto Supra from $8K recently. That's certainly a lot for one of those but only 115K and it's in excellent shape. They are certainly GT cars, not sports cars, waaay too heavy for that. Unlike the Miata though, you can drop a completely absurd amount of power into a Supra if you want to go that route. Even my 94' Camry is more nimble than this thing, but doesn't feel NEARLY as solid. Never owned a vehicle I've had this much fun with or was so proud to show off.
370, keep an eye out for the clutch slave cylinder failing, also upgraded oil gallery gaskets for 370z are a must since the low oil pressure will spell doom, else you got that Nissan rust that could be on some northern cars
02-06 Acura rsx-s and 04-08 tl of course
0:18 this was me. Never again. Thanks buddy!
My 05 Cadillac STS is a fun car that’s kinda quick. V8 N* 320hp awd and has been very reliable. The only problem I have found with it, is if you go to pass and go WOT and don’t commit it gets angry and bucks little bit.
I'll just pair the 370z with the g37. Fast, fun, and very reliable, looks great and if done right looks like a proper sports car.
Just the Infiniti has a lot more electronic components and shit that can break and be costly, but motor wise facts
@@Lukemasonmedia no not really
My favourite car I’ve owned was a e92 335 coupe. Reliable too. Only 1 repair in over 100,000 Km. radiator went at like 130 but that’s bound to happen. Had a g35 coupe before that and it was fun but the build quality is kinda crap. The leather got warped pretty quick. 1 of the Bose subwoofers died, and the window regulators are a nightmare. Failing all the time. Driving experience was fun but not as good as the 335.
G35/V35 skyline 👌
Lolol why was the end my favorite part? 😂😂😂
The Kansei lanyard is dope i got one love the color and design
Funny how I got the first 2 cars featured lol but everyone misunderstood the GTO. Americans tried to make it muscular, mostly because of its name, but that car can actually handle. A lot of people back then tried to fit muscle car wheels on it but it just didn't look right, maybe that's why it didn't click in the looks department considering the limited options due to the over positive offset. Surprisingly, you can fit BMW wheels/Euro style wheels in there and it looks perfect. Even the new Civic Type R spec wheels fit in them. It's safe to say the GTO is the perfect import GM had that got away lol
So sad it only lasted 3 years. I daily/drift it and I must say it’s crazy reliable. But pretty hard to get parts from the junk yard
If you can find a decent one, the genesis coupe is a fun car 2.0t and 3.8. not much after market support for them, more for the 2.0t but they are pretty fun from personal experience
The gto may be reliable but they're ridiculously expensive to insure. I wanted one so bad until I got an insurance quote.
Have you checked for a g8 Gt idk if it’ll be better but it is a 4 door so might help
@@bransykora4462 no I haven't. The issue with the GTO is that all the parts are imported from Australia so they're very expensive to repair after an accident and a lot of them end up just being totaled because it costs too much to get replacement parts. It's not so much that theyre a rear wheel drive v8 coupe but that they're probably going to have to write off the whole car for a fairly minor collision.
@@afout07 oh I didn’t even think of that , that’s really lame
@@bransykora4462 I think the fact that they're kind of a rare car plays a factor too. But yeah it is pretty lame because they are an absolute gem of a car... They're comfy, they handle well, they're very reliable, good power right out of the box, tons of potential for more power, etc etc
Get a C5 Corvette. My insurance rates are around $70 a month, and I have a pretty major at-fault accident on my record from 8 years back.

The most reliable performance car is the one you love and learn to work on, whatever it is.
That's not how reliability works bud
No lol
@@AndrewB23 In a perfect world where things last as long as intended, sure R(t) is all you need and the discussion is done. Over here in reality things don't work that way, it's multivariate and nearly impossible to predict. So cultivating your faculties is far more reliable than resting on the hopes that entropy somehow forgets about the parts in your car, guy
BMW *exists* ….
Reliability is a quantifiable aspect of a vehicle. I 100% agree with the “respect all builds” sentiment but ones love of a platform does not change how reliable it is. It’s either reliable or it isn’t.
Been waiting on this my brothers 😁👌🏽
And it was trash 😂
Looking forward to seeing the 1gn Neon on here!
Nice. A built all-motor R/T can be a great ride, especially with how good they handle from the factory. Plus they are light as fuck and the gearing is short. I had a '97 R/T built with aggressive cams and I sold it like an idiot. Ran 13.2 all motor on all-season tires at Numidia Dragway. I love Neons...
I can't speak for everyone here, but my focus st has been extremely fun and the most reliable vehicle I've ever owned. Coming up on 3 years of ownership without a single problem. My ONLY gripe is the fact that its FWD. Other than that, its an absolutely amazing car that doesn't get the credit it deserves.
My FoST is by far the best car I've owned. Interior and exterior and power is super nice in comparison to alot in its class. I got the pre facelift (13) and I'd honestly never get rid of her. They did ruin the look with the facelift I think though. The catfish grille in 13/14 is aggressive yet hilarious to look at. Can't hate a car you're too busy laughing at 🤷🏽♂️😂
FoSTs are awesome but reliable?!? Those head gaskets are notorious for being one of the worst in the industry
Honda accord cl9 euro edition with a k24a3. I have mine for almost 5 years and almost 200 000miles and the car runs great. I have simple bolt ons and have the same power as a mk7gti. It's also a sedan with lotsa trunk space so it's an excellent daily even with a family.
I don’t think this is very well known, but literally any Ford focus 2013-whenever they stopped selling in America. It’s a focus, ST suspension parts fit on the car. Pick up some used ST roll bars and it’ll make a difference
I’ve got an Audi TT mk2 and, while I’m currently upping the hp significantly, it is very fun to drive, can get as much as 40 mpg if you drive it at the speed limit, and has the same 2.0 Turbo that is in a huge number of vw’s and audis so parts are affordable and plentiful. And mods are plentiful too as most mods work from vw’s to audis across the lineup.
How many miles does it have?
m52 2.8 z3! ive got a 98 with 175k on it, rock solid motor and the zf-5 speed is bullet proof (yes just upgrade the cooling system)
The M52 2.8 is so solid of an engine. Then the M54 3.0 if it didn't consume oil as much.
I think it comes down to how well you take care of your car.
Personally the ls400 is one of the best cars if ever owned for reliability and fun, just under 300 hp and a bullet proof engine that sounds great, technically a 4 door sedan grandpa car that weighs 4000 lbs but it always spun the tires on command and swung around every corner without complaints, not to mention... Ive raced a 350z and was parallel with them from 40 all the way to 100. Seriously underrated cars
One of the greatest cars all time but that 350 story 🤨 not saying it isn't real but whoever you were racing wasn't fit to race
Ok here you go, naturally aspirated v6, hydraulic steering, track tuned suspension Thorsen limited slip rear differential, brembo brakes, recaro seats, 6 speed manual transmission, 350 horsepower, rear wheel drive, shape and hips to die for, 100K warranty.
I recommend 2014/15/16, they figured out most off the problem areas and fixed them, including carbon synchros on the manual tranny.
All for about 20K depending on mileage. Oh yea I got 0-60 times in just under 5 seconds.
Genny Coupe R spec 3.8.
Genesis coupe BK1 3.8
Even tho my 93 sc400 is heavy she 's still fun to drive and i drove from Washington to Texas with no problem. Lexus hasn't let me down yet
Best underrated sports luxury cars
You mis spelled Toyota.
@@thisguyshorty3554 lol dont be that guy. we all know what it's a rebadge soarer. But i call it what it is to not piss off the jdm purist.
God the S2K is so sexy! Glad you were able to add my car in there.. Keep up the good work gentlemen! :D
Glad to see a video with cars that are actually reliable, not 1 BMW mentioned
That Monaro looking good, kinda wished that kept the original look for the american version though
What about the acura type S? Or the honda civic si?
I rip through gears to Grandma's and can take her to Ross once I get there. Acura TL is the perfect blend of fun and reliable.
I wanted a RELIABLE "sports car" or something really cool for daily driving and looked all over last month. I ending up going with a nice MKIII Toyota Supra. Not exactly sure why he overlooked Toyota in this list, but I did NOT want to mess around with domestic.
It's more of a GT, than sports car, but It's probably more upgradable than most of these he talked about. I'm perfectly fine with my NA model though. It's a fun car and it looks almost like nothing else on the road.
The head gasket has been changed so it should be good to go for a very long time.
They have a lot of trouble with the head gaskets
@@nathanmcdaniel2557 No doubt. I bought it with the head gasket issue fixed. They have other issues too, but I think you could do much worse.
Pro tip: Pull up consumables before you buy any of these... don't just look at the initial price. For example, a car that uses parts from an Australian car is a pain in the ass...and a car that needs huge tires is gonna be a pain to deal with unless you have the budget. I found out the hard way that huge brake rotors are not cheap...
Awesome video!
Nothing beats the gs300,sc300, is300 or 400 series!
Facts
What if i want the most reliable, light powerplant possible for a swap? Do i go v6 so i can get hp without building it, or build a 4 for lightness? Drift/autox/daily
My kid has an RF. I told him when someone asks if it is fast, no it's fun. Same with my Z not fast just fun.
Same with my gti
@@dolamyte My friend auto crosses his VR6, and his wife beats on him with a 4 speed 16v. MK 1. She is scary fast in that thing 3 wheeling all over.
@@gopherchucksgamingnstuff2263 Bet that's fun to watch and hear!
A 5 flat 0-60 is still nothing to scoff at, I wouldn't call a Z slow
@@milk1472, it isn't slow but all the fast ones are far from stock. My internals are still stock. Just stillin gen3 intakes.
The Lexus F cars would have been great for this list!
Man I love how you say 300hp is kinda slow, In France 170hp is already considered fast and powerful:)
Exactly!!!! Bro 300 is more than enough
The 370z's electronic steering wheel lock can leave you stranded if it fails. I think they removed it on later models though.
Clutch Slave cylinder fails are common too. I had mine replaced in 2019
Add to the list M50 engined BMW's, 90s era performance VW's with the VR6 12V, the 2.0 16V ABF and heck if your a diesel person the AFN TDI. Oh and Volvos
I think everybody forgot about VOLVO. if you want powerful coupe/convertible you can look into T5 p80 platform made till 2003 or even newer platforms like T6 and POLESTAR sedans and estates really fun and reliable cars.
Yo how about some love for the IS300
Fax!!!
Does anyone know the brand name and model of the 6 spoke ''bronze-ish'' wheels that is exactly on the height of his head? Appreciate it.
They look like kansei tandems
Hell yeah! Wheres my VQ gang at?
Eclipse 4 generation GT is a 3.8 liter V6 car that its fun to drive and at least in my experience it never breaks
How many miles you put on since you bought it?
@@peeepeeepoopooo7541 like 30k, had it for 3 years already, no issues
@@FROSLEXGAMING Nice to hear, I always thought the 4th gens were underrated
Have no input on the reliability of the vehicles mentioned.
What I will say is.... Good luck living with any of these vehicles if you are taller than 6 feet 2 inches, or have an NFL lineman frame.
Hey I just got a 2008 Mercedes Benz E63 AMG sadan you should do a review on it and mods I can do
ANY of the Mercedes 55 series AMGs will knock your socks off,especially the supercharged ones and they are pretty much bulletproof
