Sadly, the list of undependables keeps getting longer. Meanwhile, the list of dependables keeps getting shorter. It's a sign of the times, I guess.

come on.... It's def clickbait. Every car can last 100,000 miles... I've owned 2 C-Class Mercedes Benz, a GLC and they all three never had any mechanical problems. My wife had a cruise prior to GLC and it ran perfectly. I will agree, some cars do have known problems, but do your research. Most cars fail because people don't change their fluids and maintenance. Studies show that 20% of owners actually maintain their vehicles.

Car Wizard did a video yesterday about most new vehicles being junked in 10 years due to huge repair bills, especially for giant displays.

Did you see the car connection channel on the new 2024 Hyundai Santa Fe. The dct transmission broke after just 30 miles.lol

You the only mf I know that can pull up to ANY CAR LOT and talk shit about EVERY CAR ON THE LOT and get paid lovely from it 🤣😂🤣😂

You’re such an expert yet knowing you won’t get 100,000 miles out of that Benz yet you bought anyway because you wanted something unique! Makes perfect sense !🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

avoid anything german. avoid fords avoid range rovers. avoid hybrids. stick with honda and toyota imho.

You just saved me from buying a used Mercedes C class/CLA LOL that would've ended badly.

Y'all, my buddy has a Mercedes AMG. Fun ride, but you would not believe what he has been through with that car. OMG. And that's WITH the warranty. Over a period of about two months last year, he dropped like $5500 to get some kind of rod fixed (not covered under warranty), then he spent another $2000 or so on another repair I can't recall, but it would be minor on another car. His last big repair was covered, thankfully. But he has strongly hinted at how much he misses his Acura.

Thanks for staying here hope your doing great

I really like your style of reporting and knowledge. I'd also add all CVT Nissans to your list

Yup, Spot OnPoint 💯. The New Range Rovers Are Soooo Nice Looking Head Turners But, Absolutely Not Worth The Headaches, Stay Clear Of This Lemon 🍋. Nice Review 😎👌

Technology does NOT equal unreliability. The most reliable car you can buy is a Lexus LS and it has lots of technology.

Labor and parts. Parts and labor. All the advanced technology and the fact that many modern cars are built with no consideration to access even simple repairs without dismantling the car, the plastics and lower quality control, makes the rule on new vehicle to dump them after 3 years or 36K miles. Even 100K drive train warranties are a false narrative (enter Hyundai and Kia). Remember, those extended warranties have their exclusions, too.

I enjoy listening to numerous repetitive negatives of your selections because it reminds me to turn away when I begin to peak interest with those vehicles =P. Keept it up!

Lemon law should require cars to be mechanically sound for 100k miles

Hey, man.. Would you do a video about the high maintenance costs of owning some European cars, regardless of their reliability? I think many people miss that point when looking to pull the trigger.

is my honor to listen first your video ... europian cars is going down and down in years , no one know where they start to change the weak materials in cars

What’s your opinion on the Toyota CVT trans?

How to make a Range Rover last 100000 miles? Have it ride on the back of a tow truck!

UK average shop rate is £65 p/h & main dealers will be slightly higher.

With the newest cars being so loaded down with touch screens, might that result in their early demise, due to being uneconomical to repair? Might 8-10 years be their average longevity?

What ever happened to American cars and trucks? I owned a 2005 Camry until 2020 then I bought another one (2020) that I drive to this day. Great reliable cars with "ZERO" problems.

mark did you change the battery recently if so try to clear the codes see if they come back

My 2nd hand 400e needs air suspension; 70K miles, 2017. Everything else is fabulous. Oh wait - rear subframe rusted. These two alone is $10.000. I bought the car for $19,000. Still makes sense as long as nothing goes out in the engine or gear box. But - 6yrs, on air suspension will need changing again. I love the car so I'm going to try and maintain it really well for the next ten years. Let's see. Your channel is really great by the way - helped me ALOT

So, ovoid focusing on the Ford Focus.

A lot of what ruins cars from what I can tell is manufacturers trying to make cars more fuel efficient. A common theme here seems to be detonation and broken pistons which is the result of poor quality fuel and thin ring lands which help fuel economy but break easily.

Spot on with Land Rovers and their crap air suspensions

What about the Mercedes e350s? Any suggestions on those cars?

Checked local car ad portal, saw several w205 diesels with 250 000 + km. Highest petrol was some 160k km, but nobody buys petrol's for long distance driving here.

I'm surprised because I tough I would see only German cars here and I saw no BMW's

I have a Ford Focus with 288k miles with a manual transmission and it runs great, but I maintain it very well

Mercedes Benz =money burner

How would a 2009 C300 Benz with 60k mileage perform in terms of longevity? Still not making it over 100k? It belongs to my parents and they are thinking of giving it to me instead of my current Toyota Corolla and I want to see if it is wise to sell my Corolla to my aunt who needs a car. Thanks.

even if you have warranty it s very unsafe and frustrating to go every 2 weeks to the dealer

Range Rover has such great styling and honestly, I wish that I could own one, but I cannot unlearn all of the maintenance problems I’ve learned about them. Sticking with the Lexus brand and getting the GX550

I’ve seen a lot of range rovers past 100k miles. It’s very strict maintenance but they can definitely go past 100k miles. Also air suspension in general is unreliable just replace to coils/springs.

The only two vehicles that are important to know about in this video is the Mercedes and the Land Rover. They stopped making the Fiat in 2019 and thr Ford Focus around that same time. The majority of those cars are older now with high miles, sitting in junk yards

What do you think about the Cadillac Escalade tho?

What about the Mercedes gla, is that okay to buy?

I do not know what kind of engine you've got in Ford in US/Canada, but in Europe Ford diesel engines are designed by PSA Group and they are one of the best. I personally saw Ford with diesel engine with 450k km on the clock ( that was a taxi car which was used almost 24/7, 7 days a week). I also had Ford Focus 1,6 TDI 115 HP, no complains. The key is frequent oil changes.

I have a 2019 C-class with nearly 150000 miles (235000 km), sooo….But some of what you say is true. Too much technology can lead to expensive repairs, but I’m quite confident with Mercedes, owning several packed with technology and no issues.

It's hard to avoid hybrids. The new 2025 Toyota Camry will be hybrid in all trims.. Toyota/Lexus makes the best hybrids.

I own a W204 C Class and it has been really reliable for us

I had an Audi A4. Paid $120k for it and had constant issue with 3 weeks after picking it up. $20k more spent to fix motor issues at 80 000 km’s. I own a Kia now, only had to replace 2 light globes and a battery and is about to hit 70 000km’s. Point made- luxury cars are junk.

There’s a video on YT with that Merc 192K miles no issues. Autotrader sells a lot of them with high mileage over 150k Also, my accord 2014 v6. Already put over $6K. Air conditioner replaced. Timing belt replaced. Rear caliper and some suspension stuff. Driven meticulously. Upgraded to 2021 c300 amg line 40K miles certified. I will see. Handling, comfort, timeless design -all worth it in my opinion. After this Merc, acuras and Lexuses start to look ugly in my eyes. Camry and accords now feel like driving mini vans.

What do you think about a bmw x6m 2015 crafted line 150kmiles

I had a 2008 Lr2 Hse . Bought with 108 k and it worked well until 160k year 4 replaced entire cooling system. Next year entire engine, then electrical short that shorted out my battery for the next 4 years. Not to mention two computers that I had to get from LandRover. When it’s good it’s Good…. When it goes…. It goes 💵💰💴💶

I bet the reason why somebody removed the “Focus” name from the back of the Ford hatchback was that the driver was embarrassed by driving that car with the Power Shit transmission

Interesting…. If those vehicles mentioned here don’t make the 100k where are they going when they break down close to that mileage? I don’t see them thrown in any junkyard or get sold for $1000 or less even with a lot of problems…🤔

Man every time you say something about the Lexus es 350 I turn it up like I am listen to music

Buried under dirt 😂. Thanks for sharing in the market to buy my son his 1st car and I'm between a Nissan Maxima or Toyota Camry. 2014 and up. I believe we're going to go with the Lexus ES 350 2014-2018.

I had ford focus and had dual clutch problems even after getting the dual clutch replaced

Mama Mia, love your videos Mark.

My cruze is a blackhole. I finally put it down.

You are doing a video with snow covered cars.

SHAME ON AMERICAN CAR COMPANIES!! Choosing Profits over quality. I would NEVER buy an American made car.

Showin snow covered cars 😂 Species, bug eyes… ❤

Here is the entertainer, the expert who influences the marjet 😅.

wife had a chevy cruze when we met-hit 100k and the never ending repairs began we replaced it by 110k

Most often than not I see a bmw in workshops than a mercedes

cart are like printer-cartrige bussines 😂

I like wagon features looking trailblazer equinox rava four

I'm a bit sad you bought that Mercedes. I could see you in a 2004-5 E55 AMG. Agree Powershift is garbage, requiring a oil/filter change every 40,000 miles. Terrible gearbox

Simple- stop buying an art object and get a vehicle. Lets hope toyota bring out their 20 k dollar stout. Grey with a sooo simple 200k engine and noo entertainment system. Thats what the passenger is for !

Add every EV to the list

Thank god I didn’t see Audi in this video I own one and I’m hoping to keep it around for a while

Probably the Mazda CX90/70 won't last a100000 miles. Turbocharger. 8 speed clutch transmission without torque converter. Hybrid systems. Engine has to be removed for many minor repairs.

What ever you buy from firms it should be the top of the line engine diesel or petrol..AMG only to enjoy what Mercedes is all about

Possible kia seltros

These cars are money pits. Even Toyotas are going down early nowadays. At least my 2012 Camry hybrid with 152K miles lacks a giant screen. The Car Wizard has recently discussed problems with plastic parts breaking and bugs in giant screens.

You keep talking about the looks of the cars but that is only skin looks. None of them would be a consideration to purchase for me. I have believed they are just a little above junk yard cars from the manufacturer. Wheels, headlights, grills are for looks only, doesn't relate to quality.

Rich people change cars as soon as their warranty has expired. Or when they need their first oil change.

Haha you have finally discovered the piston problem with that 2.0L engine.

Oh yes, I forgot to tell you that I have a 2012 Ford Focus with over 190,000 miles on it.

My sister cruze has 160k no issue but Air conditioner went out

V8 Range Rovers 2017+ actually good at 200K+ miles..

*Mercedes 420sel and 300d am I joke to you?

No vehicle can last forever come on 😂😂

Many Mercedes motors are made by NISSAN! All CLA fours too.

How is 2 of my fave cars in this list😢

BMW one series / BMW minis are terrible. The timing chain followers fail.

Fix It Again Tony

Mark, you are one of the best with the one-line burners: "buried in snow but should be buried in dirt!" The infotainment and pragmatism of your channel are a welcome watch...always.

Never buy German and American cars stick to Honda and or Toyotas

Guys stops looking at a car as if it is a harlots couch

For all the obsession with sustainability, the auto industry is making a lot of disposable garbage

ENDLESS MONEY PITS... JUST CRAP.

FEE IT

ha ha ha lol we dont say bonnet

What. Dearship. Are. You at

German cars are beyond unreliable crap these days!:(

Totally disagree with mostof your assumptions,

Any Hyundai is garbage

Rover pos

Wow

Hope you are leasing these vehicles. You seem to want a new car every 2 or 3 years.

Start from this Point, ok European mechanic is educated and has the knowledge to perform the job. ok Charge per hour is more expensive, ok Repairers or services are only 1/3 of the cost what charge in corrupted North America and why is it like that? European people are educated North American bullies are smart without any level of education as Garages and consumers = culture

Well, first of all...I wouldn't ever HAVE a foreign car, PERIOD. I'm all about soft, quiet, pillowy ride vehicles, and unfortunately, these things are just NOT a priority in foreign cars; all they seem to care about is high performance, high speeds and "handling," which basically means a HARSH, STIFF, NOISY RIDE....you know, race car qualities. Qualities that I, for one, don't give a damn about! ALL I care about is a RELIABLE, AMERICAN BRAND, soft, luxurious, QUIET ride... automatic transmission, of course...power lumbar support, 6 or 8-way heated, power seats....and total serenity on the road, like the grand old Buick Electras and Lincolns of decades past; among Cadillacs, this only includes the big old Sedan Devilles and the Fleetwoods, you know...BEFORE they switched to sedans and coupes that ride more like pick-up trucks, and let's not even discuss reliability on ANY recent Cadillac models, because they don't exist! Who in HELL ever assumed that the average American car buyer actually wanted a stripped-down car that rides about as well as a Soap Box Derby, and is even noisier? Definitely NOT I. My next and final demand is RELIABILITY. That's IT. Those are the only three requirements for me in a vehicle; well, alright....that, along with MORE SEDAN MODELS and LESS SUV's, Jesus Christ! Talk about RIDING like a TRUCK! I find pretty much ALL SUV-type vehicles to basically be TRUCKS, and so far, NONE of the entire lot of them have impressed me yet in the areas of comfort, ride quality, QUIETNESS, seat comfort and customizable power seat positions, etc. I have friends who drive Lincoln Navigators and the smaller Lincoln "trucks," while others are fans of the Cadillac Escalades, and a few of them are fans of, and regularly drive, the Japanese/Asian models. At one time or another, I've had the occasion to ride in all of these "luxury" SUV incarnations, and I'm just NOT IMPRESSED. If I had a wife and a flock of kids, then yes, I'd likely be forced into an SUV, of course, just like the venerable old Ford/Mercury, Oldsmobile and Buick Electra Estate station wagons that my parents always had at least one of, until we all grew up and moved away. Truly SOLID, RELIABLE, SOFT and QUIET-riding American luxury cars, and sedans in particular (what's left of them!) tend to be a very disappointing segment of the American luxury sedan category. I currently drive a 2020 Lincoln Continental, which I settled for after the Town Car was discontinued and I needed a new car. It's a great car, and I have no real complaints, other that the seats, which are bucket-style in the front instead of the Town Car's bench seating, but when it's time to trade it in, which for me is usually around the 100-125k mile mark, I have absolutely no idea what I'm going to end up with. I am actually seriously considering beginning to buy the ultra-low mileage, luxury car "barn find" cars that are in still in pristine condition, and where the seats look and feel like I'm driving my new La-Z-Boy recliner....soft, floating, quiet and serene....with bulletproof engines and transmissions.

But I thought Germans made the best stuff😂
