After owning two Hondas in a row, I purchased a new Kia Rio in 2020. Hands down in any category you mention the Rio is far, FAR superior to either Honda.

I’m glad you guys like your Korean cars but they won’t last 174,000 miles

death trap, hope you do not get into an accident.

@@seekingtruthnotfindingany7301 any vehicle can become a death trap screw around and find out

@@orangepeel1366 you need to read the accident or collision reports for that vehicle

⁠@@seekingtruthnotfindingany7301While those of you who constantly bash small, practical, economical cars and head directly to their safety "issues", it is not necessarily true that small cars are less safe than larger cars. Most large cars and trucks are wasteful, uneconomical and grossly over priced. A Mirage, Spark or Rio make more sense for 80% of the driving population than do pickups or SUVs.

@@Al-thecarhistorian It's been proven. The heavier the vehicle the more likely you are to survive, and less injuries. Insurance company stats.

was just getting ready to type the same. goes to show you how "rigged" reports like this are.

@@gregmcmullen6698 Nothing "rigged" about this list, Greg. It is what it is. Sorry about your reading comprehension skills.

A neighbor friend has one. It has been towed to the shop several times in a few months.

You realize he takes the info from CR, right? You’re complaining about results. Take a seat yo

Agree

Love the Subaru comment.

Nope. CU does several consumer surveys of their subscribers on just about every significant consumer product, especially vehicles. The survey is detailed, and they crunch the info down to determine findings such as what is shown in this video.

Sorry dude I think it’s ugly.

Who wouldn't 🙂 awesome choice..

A company that has always operated on the verge of bankruptcy wouldn't have spent money on a big inventory of spare parts that wouldn't be needed until long after the company has gone under. Unfortunately, a used Rivian won't ever gain a reputation as a "money pit" because there aren't the parts and trained mechanics to spend money on.

When the mid-engined Vette was introduced, there were some "issues". Have the problems been fixed? And can't agree that nearly anyone can get one.

In what universe do you live in where "nearly anyone" can go and spend about 80k (or more) for a car? The Corvette is less expensive than it's competition, but it's still out of reach for the vast majority of people. Great ride though. It does everything well.

I have a 2022 Ford Maverick now, love it, but the car I had before was a 2007 Edge, it had over 231k miles on it when I traded it in, lol. I beat that car up but it never let me down.

I had a 2018 Edge 6 cylinder with over 200.000 k.s. never had any problems. Got 6500 on trade last year. If you want yr cars to last do the PROPER MAINTENCE KEEP THEN CLEAN AND WAXED. BE good to the car they usually will last. That Edge was GREAT. But sometimes you get a lemon doesn't matter on thr manufacturers

now they have the 2023 Trailsport Edition

"I guess your list is technically accurate when you say the ten most satisfying". Exactly - it is. For those who are less mentally capable and have made idiotic comments below, simply put, CU asked (via their periodic surveys) their subscribers about their cars, would they buy them again, and crunched the numbers. No one cares if any of these cars are not what you're looking for. It's simply a survey that determines how pleased a subscriber is with their car, based upon several questions, and whether they'd buy it again. No more, no less. Unfortunately, the legions of brain dead and childish commenters in thee video comment thread can't seem to (or refuse to) comprehend this point.

@@eskieman3948 Wow. My comment really hurt you. Dry your tears, and also, do you need a hug?

I'd argue the Maverick is what you would be interested in. We sold our 2017 CR-V EX-L for the Maverick lariat hybrid that just showed up last week. Great fuel economy kids 8 and 3 fit fine in baby seats. The bed in the back can haul all kinds of stuff. Perfect if you're on a budget with the XL trim or load it up with the lariat lux package. I miss having memory seats but that's about it.

@@jerryhewitt4309 He's probably involved in making the survey or video and is butt-hurt so many are complaining about the accuracy/soundness of the survey.

@@jerryhewitt4309 Now, don't be a bedwetter, skippy.

Again - here's someone else who thinks the list should be of cars he approves. Try reading what this list consists of again.

I have the 2023 Outback Limited and it is very good. I have the turbo, which replaced the 3.6 L.

i have a 09 Q5 ... I love the suv but i would much rather have a infinity FX 35 :)

Prove it. We'll wait.....

I am not a Fiat/Dodge/Chrysler/Stellantis fanboy but I think you are mistaken. Looks more like a rubber mallet, probably for seating some snap on trim. if it was a sledge he would need a tighter grip on it. Plus, I may ask, have you seen a Porsche assembly line?

they have one already out on YT

Sorry to hear that you had a bad experience. It’s interesting because my experience with a 2018 4Runner and a 2022 Telluride has been the exact opposite. I had a 2000 4Runner that I loved, and was hoping for a similar owner experience with the newer 4Runner - it was a disaster! And Toyota did zilch to resolve its gremlins, even while under warranty: transmission shifting/lungeing issues, uneven brake wear, and electrical failures. My Telluride SX has been outstanding after nearly two years of ownership. It indeed rides and drives like a much more expensive car. I’ve had my issues with Kia service (slow, poor experience) at dealerships (a sore point), but honestly in my case, Toyota wasn’t much better.

It's a Hyundai what did you expect?

Telluride has been the king of the large SUVs but the competition is catching up - Mazda CX-90 is one.

@@Zneedsmore Love my 2021 Telluride. Always get 30mpg + on a road trip. Pulls my one ton boat with ease while getting 22MPG. Lane assist and smart cruise operate almost like auto pilot. Might be my last car as I expect it to last a long time.

@@dougandersen645 Thanks Doug - couldn't agree more. It's been the easiest vehicle for me to own and enjoy that I've had over the years, and I've had easily 20+ cars in my past of various makes and countries of origin.

How many Land Cruiser owners out there tho. It doesn’t sell in USA

Nooo Dey be junk

@@lucashuang10most buy the sequoia instead

No, they're just not that good, they're not as good as everyone believes or is led to believe & really never were, take it from someone who's had ownership experience with almost all consumer brands.

@@proudveteran4696 You must drive a 90s Dodge van.🚐

It tells you that the list is based on responses from owners.

@@sethtenrec PRECISELY. Well said!

It’s for the most satisfying cars to drive , not sales volume.

i think a lot of the car rate's personally hate ford ...i owned a 2004 explorer and it was ok for me .. easy to maintain ..

Propaganda.

Rivian. You only see them in university towns, generally speaking.

Kia’s and Hyundais are amazing just don’t buy one that is built in the USA

😂

From what I have read and heard, beware of the Gen 3 Hemi. A Friend of mine is on his Third engine replacement. The brilliant(?) Mo Po Engineers neglected to provide proper top end lubrication which causes the valve lifters to launch or seize.

No one cares about "the top ten vehicles", whatever that is supposed to mean. FOCUS - the consumer surveys filled out by CU subscribers (approx 100k) gather the information processed by CU to produce this list, and what is this list for? "The 10 Most Satisfying Cars" PER THE SUBSCRIBERS FEEDBACK ON THE SURVEYS.

Please. CU has it's OWN test track, a team of automotive engineers and automotive journalists, and they don't care if they give a tested car a bad review, unlike most other automotive magazines and websites. It's YOU that apparently doesn't have a clue.
