    The Phaeton was a 4x4 luxury train, but if you buy it with a 3.0L diesel (which is a bit sluggish, but still good on power and fuel economy) it will be much cheaper to maintain (at least here in Europe). Me and my brother both had one each for under 7000$ and they were great. My brother actually toured around Europe in one summer, and it was the best cars for the task. After selling them, we realized it was that kind of car that when you own one, it feels expensive, but when you sell it, you instantly regret it and other cars don't satisfy you the same

      100%. I have a 3.0 Phaeton for 5 years now and the only thing I changed was the front suspension. I think I spent 1500 euro on that for some refurbished originals and it felt like new again. The Phaeton is the ultimate road trip car and highway killer. You set the cruise control on 240 (in germany) and just cruise. I would not call it sluggish at all. There's no way I'm selling mine. I actually moved away from europe but I still store my Phaeton for the future.

    My dad has had a Land Rover Discovery 2 since 2012. It has had some issues, like ABS, TC and HDC warning lights going off for no reason at all (one time the ABS warning light went off, and my dad had to brake on the snow; the ABS was working very well!), and a minor leak from the steering assist. We tried many times to get them fixed, but after the 6th time we undestood it wasn't worth it. Now it makes a weird screetch sound when you accelerate too hard (I think it's the engine belt). It never left us on foot though, unlike a Range Rover Sport from 2010 that we bought in 2020. That one left us in the middle of nowhere because apparently there was metal in the fuel tank, the ECU detected it and it instantly shut off the engine. We did fill up the car at a very sus looking gas pump though. Bought it for €10.000, €3000 to fix the damage. Didn't do anything weird after that.
    Update: It died again

    The bmw e60 m5 has some reliability issues which can be fix before it breaks such as rod bearing, gearbox etc... The automotive culture kinda implified the unreability of this car and now they are at the bottom of their value. If u have enough money to maintain them, then go for it, but don't expect them to have a "lexus reliability" and maintain cost, just take care of the car (waiting it for being warm, changing oil etc...). And imo the car will go up in value because cauz it has a freakin v10 (in a "regular sedan") straight out of competition and an AMAZING sound and performance.

    RX8s’ wankel/rotary engines are less reliable than similar-power piston engines, but the majority of problems are caused by neglect through not keeping oil topped up or switching the engines off cold (the required deflooding risking scoring). The rear bearings of S1 cars do fail, but using heavier oil helps substantially. Most of the issues can be avoided for a long time by getting a compression test done before purchase (too many unscrupulous sellers lie to get rid of a damaged car!), checking ignition coils and regular oil level checks (I’ve had many piston cars that drink oil faster). The cars are so cheap now that you can throw one away and lose little (but insist on a comp test before buying and get new coils). Did I say get a comp test done and get new coils? I’ve done over 100,000 miles in RX8s with no engine problems whatsoever.

  • @Renegade666

    RE: the BMW, first thing you do is get the rod bearings checked, if they're down to copper, replace them IMMEDIATELY. There are aftermarket replacements which use a stronger material and wont wear down. Usually this costs a couple of grand to do but it will save the car and as long as you keep it maintained regularly, youll be ok

    The thing about the RX8 is: if you truly want one, get the Facelift version.

      If it wasn't raced, it's a good car. My father has a X350 XJ8 with compressor (super V8) and it did cost 43ct/km including parking tickets and everything. With LPG. The predecessor, a X300 XJ8 4.0 97 cost 35ct/km and was cheaper than my mum's Lada Niva (38ct/km). Both cars with LPG.

    Tbh E60 M5s are a good pick if you look for a bargain if the rod bearings have been done. Here in Europe you can find some with upgraded rod bearings that aren't prone to failure so fast for around 30-35k wich is a steal for what you get.

    Have a non M BMW e46 that's already cost over $9000 to keep running in the first year of ownership. But at almost 300k miles it's to be expected. I'm honestly more surprised the engine hasn't blown up or the gearbox hasn't disintegrated, but everything else around those 2 just like to give up on life. The only reason I really hold onto this thing is personal attachment not wanting to give up the car I've literally grown up in.

I don’t need no 12 extra cylinders even with a turbo or a spinning Dorito even though they’re soo impressive!! And Land Rovers are for sure capable… for staying at the mechanic store, while the Lexus LX (or Toyota Land Cruiser) is enjoying its off road wilderness and getting you going back and fourth all year long!! Also.. even though everyone calls it the spinning Dorito, it also breaks like a Dorito as well!! Now im soo hungry for Doritos!! 😋:)

    The Ford Edsel was the beginning of the end for my grandfather. But it wasn't so much the repairs to the car that caused him so many problems.
    He invested heavily in the production of the car and he ended up blowing the entire family fortune on this venture.
    Also, in a position of significant responsibility he borrowed heavily against the assets of the nation which employed him to manage their funds and their economy. This was just so that he could further fund development and the redesign initiatives relating to that goddamned car.
    Consequently he ended up bankrupting the Republic of Nauru (Pleasant Island), and that's why it is in the state of ruin it is in today.

    Right, so I did want to provide a constructive criticism.
    I do not think that Ian has no talent, but I do not think that this is the way to focus on the channel either. I have read your reasoning on why Ian is there, but my opinion: Hire people that can make your work easier without removing the Stype touch. The humour is not only limited to the sentences and punch lines, as there are other factors that play key roles too. The tone and enthusiasm is also key when focusing on humour and Stype is simply amazing at that. It feels human, funny and really natural.
    Ian however, he seems like that one guy who goes to stand up comedies and try to beat the master of the SUP comedy show in that place, but tries too hard. Also the final "Cut" felt really unnatural. I am sorry Ian, but I think that Stype is the one that is here to stay.

      I’m short: no. The rotary has become far more reliable and fuel efficient to keep up with new regulations and standards, and with correct care it’s possible to take a rotary to over 100000 miles without any mishaps. However, they are still ludicrously fuel inefficient, which is why Mazda stopped developing them after the rx8.
