And this is why I buy my vehicles 3 years later. That's when most of the leases are coming back so they usually only had 1 lease owner and they are generally maintained well. The issues have been raised and generally fixed in those 3 years and most importantly, that insane price tag when it's new is no longer a problem because they depreciate to a reasonable point by the 3 year point
it's amazing how much some of these things depreciate. Some of them are half price 3 years later.
Yep, just buy an extended warranty and you’re all set! 👍
very smart 👌
In all reality buying a new car is never a wise move.
How do you know the car didn't get flooded? Where do you find a sound car coming off its lease?
People won't pay 45k for a car that is unreliable and has bad ratings. But you double that price and slap on a luxury badge on it and people would say it's a work of engineering wonder. Same goes for looks. You take an ugly car and people will say it's ugly. You slap on a luxury label on it and jack up the price and people will say it's beautiful. Smh.
Yeah right they would rather pay $100k for an unreliable car, I see countless Range Rovers on the road.
I don't think it's generally true. People who can actually afford luxury brands still have a wide range of personal opinions of design/product/look and they certainly aren't inflated by brand logos - remember it's still a competitive market. A good example is BMWs - their SUVs and performance machines are getting more expensive year after year, but a good majority of luxury brand owners, many of who long-time bimmer owners themselves still despise the new hideous design. Honest truth is admiration for 'luxury bedge' usually comes from those who can't really afford one.
Spend some time with proper Luxury vehicles and you'll learn it's not just a badge or status. We tend to criticize the things we don't understand.
@@stop_lying_bro I've spent time in luxury vehicles. Yeah some have really nice interiors or have performance. But still doesn't change the fact that most people wouldn't pay like 150k for a G Wagon badged by Buick. And it wouldn't turn heads and have people drooling over it. People would call it an ugly box with no thought put into the design and who would pay 150k for a Buick? And if it's unreliable people would definitely not want it. But since it's a status symbol everyone wants one.
I drive a new Q7 and someone recently asked why it’s considered luxury when a loaded has comparable technology. I drove in a newer Telluride and was surprised to see it had most people of what my Q7 does likewise in a VW Atlas. So what actually defines a luxury vehicle today?
I’ve had in total 2 Range Rover Sports and 2 Land Rover Discovers, each for over 5 years - I NEVER had a days mechanical issues with ANY of them. Everyone still wants a Rangie when )they grow up’…..
I love Range Rover. Lease Only if I could afford one.
And I saw a pig fly once. No, really, it's true...
I have a good friend who was buying a new Range Rover and he had problems the first week so he returned it lol 😂
Great analysis, thanks. It's really a shame that we can't find any comments from the people who design these cars!! Not a single one of them steps up and explains what happened, what went wrong, what is the plan to improve the product, etc. This happens with motorhomes, boats, etc.....
Thank you for taking the time to review the vehicles. Makes buying decisions better and less stressful. Whatever happened to the competitive nature of companies making their best vehicles. There are too many models. All companies should focus on only 4 to 5 models only. Your best SUV, your best truck, your best sedan, your best compact, your best ev, your best hybrid.
Ive watched your videos in the past for the small to mid size SUV to buy. You mentioned the Mazda cx5 was a good reliable suv to get, so i did and its a great suv no issues runs great!! Its a 2020 and has 50 + thousands miles on it. Love ur videos and will always go to you 1st before buying ❤
Love your videos thank you 🙏🏽
You have the GLE on your list without pointing out any particular issues that cause it to be unreliable
I'll give you one. It's a 6,000 lb suv with a 4-cylinder 250 horsepower engine. Do the math. Its severely underpowered and will be stressed out, meaning will need repairs under 100k miles. The 450 is worth the money but costs 90k. Thats why all you see are gle350s sitting at lots. People give em back. Imagine that your new Mercedes is struggling to even overtake without flooring it. Garbage.
I own one. It is a fine suv. Merc have had this 4cyl for many years. I had it for 3yrs now at 25k mi, and has been trouble free. Yea it’s got no v8 under the hood but is adaquetly powered. Mercs are heavy and brakes wear out fast tho.
Give it time, 25k and 3 yrs is still under warranty :p@@joo02
FINALLY a car reviewer who knows what he's talking about! I watch a lot of car reviews from guys like Doug Demuro and their assessment of cars is based on limited and short-term aspects like ease of infotainment systems, cupholders and driving experience. These cars can look better, drive better, have more interior room and seem more upscale than the likes of Lexus and Acura. But many car reviewers either ignore the reliability aspect or are not knowledgeable about them from an engineering perspective. Any vehicle can look good for the first 2 years. It's what happens after that period that separates the pack. Amateur car reviewers (which I would consider Dough Demuro as one) are easily smitten by the "bling" factors that these vehicles have.
Doug DeMuro is first and foremost a car enthusiast. His scoring system is biased towards cool, modern enthusiast cars typically with lots of features. He sometimes emphasize that in some of his videos. In fact, he even mentioned that reliability is not even part of his personal top 10 priority list. He occasionally reviews typical commuter cars. He likes it for what it is but we all know he’d never consider owning one.
Another thing is that I don’t agree that Doug is an amateur car reviewer. He owned more than 30 cars by far throughout his entire life from manufacturers across Europe, US, Japan and Korea and that allowed him to have credibility in his reviews.
Owing 30 cars doesn't make you a car expert. With today's technology, any Tom, Dick and Harry with a video camera can do a car review. I find Dough's videos entertaining but would never make my purchasing decisions based on his opinion. @@melv1n_official
Except he doesn’t go into details. I don’t disagree with him, but he should support his “rating” with details, not just general statements.
Demuro first blew up making videos about how unreliable his Range Rover was…….
Doug reviews cars to show you new cars not long term testing
I love my QX80. Had it for years. I definitely recommend getting a used one that is 2018 or later. You will be getting a very reliable car for cheap that looks and rides good and can last a long time.
Talking about QX80, The Nissan version is called Nissan Patrol in the Middle East, one of the favourite SUVs in the Middle East. It even outsells the Land Cruiser. So, yes, I agree that QX80 is one of the most amazing large SUVs I have ever driven.
Of course they show at least a 3 year old model or older for the QX80.
@@Asifalirahman1can you give me a link to that truth where patrol outsells land cruiser? Because I remember Toyota had to stop orders due to the fact that they couldn’t supply enough of lc300 in Middle East.
Your analysis was very helpful!
Thanks
A lot of SUVs you would never get off a paved road in. That's why so many go for the Jeeps. Not that they'll tackle the Rubicon Trail, but it is designed to put up with some rough roads. Far too many are just glorified station wagons, and are treated as such. Really surprised you included the large GM SUVs. Other than some issues related to the cylinder deactivation in their V8s, they are quite reliable and they can't seem to build enough of them.
Thank you for your insights.
We our an Audi family owned several currently have 2 but we typically buy the extended warranty and get rid of prior warranty ending. However thanks to Covid and cannot find the modal with options and color she wants my wifes A4 is 8 years old and i can say we have had no issues beyond normal wear and tear.
It’s a shame that Jeep - one of the most storied brands in American history and a truly original and iconic line of vehicles - makes this list, but it’s a fact! Jeeps have a lot of recalls,
How can you say there is a performance problem with the Aviator hybrid? 500 HP and 600 lbs of torque gets you to 60 MPH in 5 seconds! We bought one of the 150 built in 2019. We drove it across the US multiple times and everywhere in between with minimal glitches. The biggest problem was a module that knocked out the safety stuff related to the active cruise control that knocked it back to old world cruise until we got it home. It almost got broken into at a nice Marriott in front of the office! They never got inside but damaged the side of the door frame. 25 other cars on the lot were nailed including 10 national guard trucks there for a seminar. We plug it in every night and drive it most days for errands and day trips around town. It’s wonderful to only fill it up every 6-8 weeks! Since we only pay 9 cents per KWH for electricity fuel is almost free! We get average 23 miles on electric then 24-27 in city with 32 on the highway at 75 MPH! Not bad for a 5800 LB car! My wife loves driving it even in a 50MPH crosswind. She only has to use two fingers. Don’t get me started on describing the fantastic seats with 32 different seat settings and of course, massage functions. Sound? 22 speakers. Enough said.
It's not 500 HP and 600 lbs.
It's about, does it start every morning and what are the yearly mechanic bills PLUS what's the resale value in 3 years? And that's what makes almost every American car, a piece of junk.
I have a 2020 BL and have only had software updates. 43k and going strong.
I would like to know the definition of “reliable” from you. For most cars you mentioned “not reliable” but what does it mean? Could be much better if you have given us 2 or 3 examples of what is the reliable in this context?
Is it number of faults? Is it number of returns? Is it number of repairs?
Our 2021 XC90 T6 Inscription is coming up on 3 yrs of ownership with 55k miles on it now. Gorgeous SUV! No reliability issues so far.
Reliability is the endurance/dependability through time. After 3 years most of the cars are still OK, even the Chinese (still called Swedish) clunkers.
Excellent video. Thanks
Land rover has been a very "consistent" company 😂
You can always tell a moron when they try to favorably compare a Land Rover with a Toyota Land Cruizer. 😂😂😂
Best car reviewing yet! New sub thanks so much 🎉
Much appreciated!
It’s nice to hear someone who knows what they are talking about, and not just reading something while mispronouncing names constantly.
As a car enthusiast, these are exactly the cars I would have put on the list. I thought it was brilliant to point out that if you have to have a GM, avoid the Escalade and go for the lesser models (which are the same suv) and avoid some headaches. Very true.
My advice, if anyone care, is only buy old school. GMs only through 2006 and Ford SUV’s are excellent through 2014. Never anything from Land Rover, volvo, infinity, Nissan or Chrysler (including Jeep).
Toyotas are hit or miss, but mostly hit. Honda’s can be great but they don’t make big suvs.
I have a 2012 Lincoln Navigator with an old fashioned v8,
And a “92 Toyota landcruiser with a straight 6 and 300,000 miles that runs perfectly
What about Chevrolet cars are they any good ?
I've owned my 2021 XC90 Recharge for 3 years / 23k miles with ZERO problems (other than the charge cord needing to be replaced). Not even so much as a squeak or rattle. Great car so far.
23k is barely broken in. Get back when you hit 50k+.
@@bubbalo3388 2018 XC90 84K no issues. Will be trading it in for another one in may.
2016 xc90 180,000km. Has some engine , sensor issues but was easily repaired. Otherwise a great suv.
My Lexus gets 230k miles and still runs smoothly. You should talk about reliability when your car hit 200k miles.
Volvo Owner not concern at all
My neighbors bought one of those without asking for my input and it broke down for the first time when they were driving home from the dealership!! It was downhill after that.
Thanks was looking at GLE or XC90 but after this video bought a MDX
This was nice video, but can you make a video about other cars like Dodge Hornet 2024, Chevy Traverse 2024, Chevy Trailblazer 2024. If you have time please do the video about those cars.
I somehow got a QX80 as a rental when I ordered a small CUV, it was a boat and the touchscreen was an absolute disaster. Basically useless due to performance issues.
Is just relability report enough to put xc90 into this list?
Great video. Thanks.
What do you think about Genesis GV80?
On the bright side, a lot of mechanics have a good source of income.
Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha Hahaha
Our Volvo XC60 T8 (plug-in hybrid) has been flawless after 5 years and 40k miles. Surprised the XC90 is problematic.
No problems because you don’t drive it
My toyota after 500.000km still running fine
@@Troy342😂
As a previous owner of 2 Range Rovers a 2014 and a 2018 vogue it is weird🤔, it is solidly built with the highest quality in everything yet it still breaks🤦, it doesn't seem to unintentionally break almost like it's made to break⚡, one example being if you get an engine problem and fix it (even that is wierd) you will most certainly get a gearbox problem afterwards🤷, ask any landrover owner and they'll say the same, i just thank god i had warranties with both.
My sister is on her third Range Rover, all three have had major electrical issues (2 Evoque & 1 Discovery) but continued to get them because she wants the “status” but is currently looking for different brand no longer wants to deal with unreliability
@@msk3905 Toyota 4X4. ..
@@msk3905 I don't understand the status in overpaying for junk that will break. I see a lot of these in NYC and I feel sorry for the owners. Some of these look older than 4-5 years and I can't imagine their repair bills.
bought a used 2010 LR LR2 for 16k with 53k miles or a baby rover. They stopped making it so i go it on the cheap. I use it to commute now but no more issues than other cars: Has 150k and is doing okay. It may fall apart tomorrow but so far feel lucky. I asked my independent LR mechanic what the most reliable LR is since they have a bad reputation. He said the one you are driving. I had a good laugh on that one. Wouldn’t buy another though.
@@msk3905 ........................ Why does she keep Torturing herself?????????
I'm in the car industry, and I totally agree with you
Seriously considering a BMW 2024 X5 sDrive 40i. I’ve talked to several BMW X5 owners, and from all the reviews I’ve seen or heard it sounds like the BMW X5 is first in it’s class! Any thoughts or comments?
I had the Glb , the grand cheroke and the volvo in the past 4 years. YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY SPOT-ON WITH HOW BAD THEY ARE
Awww man I’m really considering an Escalade. I ordered a Navigator but after 10 weeks I’m becoming impatient!
The Aviator wasn't recently introduced, it was made about 8-10 years ago, killed off and the current model is the second generation
My 2020 Porsche Macan S is a thrill to drive and has been Bullet Proof. I have never been so happy with a vehicle and I am 60 years old, owned all the Asians and domestic. None of previous vehicles can hold a candle to my Macan
I see a lot of positive comments on XC90 & I own one too. It has been amazing so far with not a single issue so I don't understand the reliability data from where its coming?
Thank you for your accurate review!! I knew LandRovers had to show up on this list as I was watching and eagerly awaiting. I own a LandRover LR 2013 that has been the worst vehicle that I have ever owned in my entire car history. I'm donating the vehicle to charity and would never give it to anybody in the family is how bad it is. I love the external appearance of the LandRovers only but will never purchase this brand again. These are just some of the problems: the running front headlights bulbs (both right and left) would go out every 3 to 4 months that cost $200 for each bulb at the dealership, the heater blower motor went out and the air conditioner stopped working, the steering wheel leaked fluids multiple times after getting it repaired, the brakes squeaked after getting new brakes/struts installed at the dealership ( I was told by the dealership that the brakes squeaked because I didn't have genuine LandRover brakes/struts installed. I only had repairs done at the two different LandRover dealerships. What the hell!!! I had to get major engine work done that cost $4,000+., etc..... The repairs total cost just as much as I paid for the vehicle. Goodbye LandRover and Hello Toyota/Lexus.
Toyota Corolla has been the best car so far that I ever owned and only got rid of it after 12 years of ownership because I wanted an SUV. LandRover lovers only lease for two years and turn it back in quickly, lol......
My Dad owned many Land Rovers in the 1960’s and 1970’s because there was no other 4 wheel drive vehicles available in Newfoundland Canada at that time. ( English colony ). These were the most unreliable vehicles that we ever experienced. Never buy them unless you are a mechanic yourself. But they look good !!!
RS. Canada
LX 570 all the way
I'm charity please. Please donate it to me.
Welcome to Lexus. 😊
I own a 2023 GLE 580 and it’s had zero issues. Now I can assure you that once the warranty runs out, it will be traded in.
Same here, GLE driver. I do not believe what this guy speaks. Bad quality, no reliability, persistency??
Benz sells billion wehicles in Europe and arround the world, I personally drive the brand 30 years and many people I know, never ever heard about passing warranty issues. I changed 6 so far, one had 500k (GLC) miles on it but you cannot recognize it.

So will you say its a reliable car?? Coz i am planning to buy either land rover range rover or the Sport SVR
I bought a Mercedes GLE 400D AMG on 27th January 2023 , I gave it back after 4 months for a full refund because it was under six months old and the main dealer is allowed one chance to fix the problem for a vehicle that is under six months old in the uk. Problem came back again so I got my money back. Having said that my 2019 BMW X5 which I part / ex for the GLE never had any issues in three and a half years I owned it.
QX 80 has updated in 2020 oe 2021 but using old V8 should be very reliable
Have I been lucky with range rover sport had my 2014 five years done 81000 miles only problem broken earth wire behind wheel arch and rear diff seal still drives nice
Yes right about the Range Rover engine with out at 60,000 mile I had to pay out of pocket 36,000 to fix it
I own a 2017 XC90. Only gone to the dealership for scheduled maintenance. No problems at all.
My friend had same year model engine blow up at 170tkm. 14k€ damages
No complain at all for my volvo xc60 t8 after amost 100.000 km. It surprise me that i see xc90 in the list

I got my 2020 F-Pace and my friend brought his Defender 3 years before, Both zero problem till now, I worked for automotive applications more than 18 years, To be honest , JLR made sport SUV and real off-road SUV, just like British makes all car always for fun,. So...both of us got our fun car.......BTW, I had a 2006 mini cooper Checkmate (R50).....A real fun car...Although the brand belongs to BMW but manufactured in UK still, Finally I have to say, different drivering request makes you different viewpoint, this is why we need more different car maker in this world.....Just for fun otherwise driving is too boring.....
So, Mr Everythingsux, which luxury SUVs are good?
Video of the year. Thank you.
I did own an infinite 2001 truck.
That truck never stop running..
The most reliable suc i ever have..
As a proud owner of a land rover range rover, i can affirm the land rover is number one in this list
When I started my vacation in Maritime Canada, I was given a 2023 Grand Cherokee that didn't have a lot of mileage on it. When I returned it 2 1/2 weeks later, I vowed NEVER to not only buy one, but not even accept a Grand Cherokee as a rental again. Even if it's a free upgrade! For such a pricey vehicle, it drove like a truck on the highway where it sometimes felt like you were fighting it to keep it in a straight line. It was noisy, the infotainment system was a hot mess and confusing. The electronics were quirky with the electronic parking brake having a mind all it's own. The gas mileage was terrible, and the interior had a very cheap feel to it. I was never so happy to get home to my Nautilus.
I agree! Great video!
My mother in law drives only Jeep Grand Cherokee’s.
They fall apart constantly but they keep buying them.
All 3 of their children (one being my wife) own Outback’s and they see how well their Subie’s hold up, but I suppose she’s a glutton for punishment.
We’ve told her that Jeeps are now owned by Fiat, which is a Stilantiss product, but she Loves her Grand Cherokee’s.
There are many consumers who are like this. They love the feel, the look, or whatever else it is, but are willing to put up with potential issues and depreciation.
@@carhelpcorner I hear you Shari.
I concur with every choice. Well done!
So you recommend lexus lx 600 ??
Have a 2020 Range Rover Velar and only two OC sensors with 21000 miles on it.
Acura, Audi, and BMW seem like good options,
180k miles on my 2017 GLE. Zero problems. Not sure where you get your info or just read it from some website. Lol
How do you talk about the QX80 from 2019 and then talk about it needing a upgrade?? It has been updated 2x since the model you have shown.
I will stay with my 4runner it's a beast
The BMW X5 is so so awesome , the new 2024 models are so badass so are the porsches but the porshe is too much money .
I disagreed with the conclusion on the Cadillac Escalade. I currently own one which is absolutely the best SUV that I’ve ever owned compared to other GMC SUVs like the Dinali and BMW X6 M50i.
With all the BAD talk about Alfa Romeos and Maserati, the Stelvio or the Lavante isn't on this list. That is why I bought these cars.
You want reliable? Ford Expedition. I have owned them since 2001. Have probably a total of 350,000 total miles across 3 different engines and only had 1 repair…an alternator failed. Smooth, reliable, big for hauling and now sporty with the eco boosts……it’s a winner…..just wish they would make it less of a box and put a rugged looking front end on it……2001, 2005, 2014, 2017 Ford Expedtion Limiteds.
I have been driving a Volvo XC90 for over 2 years from new - not a single issue to date!
I had the Mercedes Glb as a rental car and it was like driving a Hyundai. The interior was cheap. The ride was rough and the engine was loud.
Previous Land Rover owner here. It’s just not a car you buy for its longevity. Buy it, drive it then switch it out after 2-3 years. If it has 80,000 miles on it…don’t bother. The repairs are no joke and it is consistent alright …because it consistently breaks. Those eye popping repair bills are in the thousands. It’s a premium smooth ride…till it ain’t no more 😂
What you should buy is the 1 Mio. Euro Erling Haaland GLS 63 AMG - for sale in Germany.
That’s why I love my BMW, even though people always say it’s the worst with repairs which I have yet to experience in my 15+ years of owning them.
Range rovers are very reliable once obtained new. Ive had 7 of them and as long as you have them within the warranty you will find them extremely dependable.
The number one, on the list, the most problematic one, is also the most beautiful of them all. That is a sad bit for me as I would love to own one, but I’m afraid of all kinds of problems that may come with it. The Land Rover
Exactly! I'm about to purchase my 6 BMW suv next year.... but have always admired the super cool looks and feel of a Land Rover. But as much as my heart would love to own one, my common senses won't let me. And it's a serious struggle. 😆
I bought a low miles 2020 Infiniti QX80 and it is brilliant….completely reliable massive 400hp V8. And the best looking full size SUV IMO.
Buying one used it is a great buy after someone else suffers the depreciation hit.
@@carhelpcorner exactly. I buy cars off leases…they keep miles low and do the required maintenance.
Not one BMW on the list. BMW seems to be doing a way better job of making their cars more reliable. To top it off they even have a very high owner satisfaction rate. They are still expensive to get serviced, but because of their high owner satisfaction, and Consumer Reports rating I took a chance and bought a MINI. BMW also improved their reliability and owner satisfaction. I still know when the warranty is over and it needs to be serviced, the cost will be high, but right now BMW seems to be doing what few European car manufactures are, and that is not only making a car that is fun to drive, but one that spends more time on the road and less at the dealership being serviced.
I have a 2019 Mini Cooper convertible with 40,000 miles. Not a single issue to report.
They won't usually make it that far... Usually run over peeps and end up in storage, or smashes into dividers. lol
@@bigmacdaddy1234give it another 10k miles and you will be replacing the engine. I have a friend who replaced hers in her 2019 at 63k miles, and the replacement engine went bad 30k miles later (she didn’t pay for a second one). These cars are sexy, but they are junk.
@@UnlessRoundIsFunny Wrong. I am part of the Mini Club in my area and there are plenty of Mini's with 100K with no engine issues. The gen 3 Mini's 2016+ are bulletproof. As for your friend, she didn't change the oil frequently enough.
@@bigmacdaddy1234 Yeah, that’s possible. But come on. Those engines have a bad reputation for a reason. There is ample evidence that they are unreliable.
I am amazed the Genesis GV80 did not make this list. We had one for a year and it was a heap!
Yeah every car is going to have some problems on down the line just hope that you get one that was built on wednesday an not on friday or monday.
Am happy BMW X5 & X7 is not on this list, also Porsche Cayenne
I stayed away from RR because of the reviews until my wife wanted it. No issues up to 15K miles. It has the most solid, luxurious ride of any vehicle I have ever driven. I also have a Grand Cherokee L Outlander, as a backup snow vehicle, with 28K miles and zero issues. I wanted a Lexus LX600 but the tech is still years behind.
Most who complain never owned one let alone sat in one. And others buy them expecting to run them cheap and skip proper maintenance. That's when problems start and they then sell it off to someone else to deal with.
For the Japanese to be so tech savvy, they definitely don't put it into their cars. Toyota and Lexus definitely leave a lot to be desired as far as technology.
New unproven technology is useless if not reliable and using customers as a Guinea Pig doesn’t sit well with me. Lexus / Toyota won’t touch it until they fully understand what it is, how it works and how to make it reliable. That’ll take about 3 years.
Or do you prefer having your car in the shop half the time, and a huge bill waiting for you to slap you in the face. If something goes wrong on a long trip, add expensive unplanned motel stays for as long as it takes to fix it.
Range Rovers, LOL. My dentist bought one brand new and it spent the first 6 months in the shop. He got rid of it while it was still in the shop. So what did he buy after that? And brand new Jaguar, which also spent the majority of the year he owned it in the shop. Now he owns a "G" wagon and is looking to get rid of that as well. The "G" wagon is at least reliable, but he doesn't like the rest of it.
To be fair, a Grand Cherokee is a great weekend off-roading vehicle, the best in the business (well, Jeep in general.) Just buy an extended warranty ;-)
If you are going to buy an expensive car you would want better reliability then Jeep statistically offers. They are good when they work, but its very aggravating and expensive to always having to have it fixed and that is more prevalent in Jeep then what is expected in general.
So may I please ask about your thoughts on the 2024 QX80 Sensory and if negative, then what would you recommend?
Just bought a 18 Volvo XC90 like 6 months ago and so far no issues!
I hope it treats you well! 🤞
Would like to see the data backing these claims...I have own XC90 since 2018 84K+ and no issues.
I agree on the Range Roverhad to be taken back to the dealer far too many times. Dumped it before the warrantee ran out.
We will paciently wait for your review, when your XC90 hits the 100K miles.
I own a Volvo V90CC(2 years), Volvo XC90(3 years) and a Volvo XC60 2014, I’ve never had any issues with any of these beauties!
How many miles do you clock in per vehicle per year?
@@ocasioangel I’ll be honest in saying that I don’t really check! But I live in the country side, and the closest town is about 22kms away. And we go there for everything. So we travel at least 3 times a week. And the closest city is 62kms. And we go there at least twice every 2 weeks. So I think we(2 of us in my family) travel quite a bit using them. 🙂
So you're the one.
Nissan (or Datsun in Australia) used to have a good reputation for value and quality. Nissan should just copy Mazda. Drop the CVT's and go a bit upmarket generally dropping the premium SUV's etc. with a new face-lifted range. You don't need to be Elon Musk to see they have issues to address.
Nice haircut, Shari !
I didn't even know infinity was still in business as you never see advertising anymore and the vehicles were crap years ago. Have you ever seen one two years after being doldrums they are full of rust. I wouldn't buy any vehicle on this list that's for sure.
I'm surprised Porache Cayenne didn't make the list! We had a lot of issues with this car the first year:(
You must have been unlucky, cause mine is going well, till now🤞🏻
YEP!!!!!!!!
Once you purchase expensive car, always expect expensive-car maintenance as well. Otherwise, settle for offerings from the Japanese or Korean manufacturers if you prioritize reliability and longevity.
Lexus is a counter-example of what you declared. By default, any generalization is stupid, therefore is preferable to abstain from making one. Korean cars cannot be placed near the very reliable top Japanese cars, most of them are lemons.
@@codincoman9019 Sure, there are exceptions since there are several variables to be considered.
@@melv1n_official, the most important car KPI's for smart men: reliability, TCO, longevity, function. Thus, top 3 is pretty clear (even for the Consumer Reports): Lexus/Toyota, Mazda. Looking at their ratings, Kia/Hyundai are far away from the top Japanese brands. Despite some decline, even Honda/Acura and Subaru are better.
@@codincoman9019 if you want luxury and reliability go for Lexus and have peace of mind
Manufactures should go back to building cars like in the old days. Keep it simple and stupid. I have an Mercedes SL500 1994, car is 29 yrs old soon to be 30 yrs old. Never had a problem. Yes as it age I am upgrading it, tie rods, chassis bushings, rubber hoses. The most expensive will be time to replace the convertible hydraulics remove them send them to Top Hydraulics to change the seals cost $780 USD plus shipping since i Live in Canada, or Core Exchange at $1680 usd ( Core Exchange Option includes a $600 Refundable Core Charge plus a $300 surcharge for inventory management.) Also there is a 3-week turnaround time for rebuild/upgrade service, and a 1-week lead time for core exchange. I live in Quebec I'll take the 3 week rebuild while my car is stored in winter time. That will be the most expensive job, much cheaper then today's cars with electronic gizmo's.
We don't need all these fancy BS in our cars. Power Windows, A/C, Power door locks, power seats, heated seats. Upgraded stereo that includes bluetooth and usb and I'm good to go. I don't need anything else.
Don't need color changing interior lights, don't need massaging seats, don't need digital infotainment that i have to jump through 8 menu's to turn on my a/c or radio volume.
Engine / trans bulletproof, I still have old fashion analogue distributor caps. Much cheaper to update the interior of the seats then buying a new car. My MB will out last any new MB.
Just keep the cars simple and they will last much much longer. End of Rant.
Audi/Porsche managed to escape being included?
Can you do a dedicated video on the Range Rover Velar, like pros, cons and your thoughts. Is the Range Rover Velar more reliable than the big Range Rover? I currently drive at 2022 MDX Advance and kind of thinking of trading it in for for the Velar because I just love how it looks but I also don’t want to set myself for failure either lol. Love your videos and thanks for your help.
If you can afford to maintain the Velar then get one. Brand new with warranty is the only way to go imo. We have a 22 Acura MDX A-Spec and love it. BMW X5 Xdrive and Volvo XC90 were options, but the Acura felt better overall and cost of ownership will be significantly less.
I would SERIOUSLY worry about reliability in any Rover vehicle. That was my Dad’s past experience ( several Land Rovers and each one a reliability DISASTER. Good luck. Thanks
RS. Canada
Trading an Acura for a RR?!? This would not be a smart move. Not at all! The RR sits at the top of the the biggest TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) and its reliability is very little.
