The older, first two generations of the Cadillac Escalade from 1999 to 2006, the second-generation Acura RDX (2013 to 2018) and the second and third generations of the Lexus RX 330 and RX 350 from 2004 to 2015 are a lot better than these other luxury SUV's. Thank you very much.

Love the way this channel has evolved, nice that you try to look out for others.

This information is fantastic and spot-on. Buyers should know what they are getting into. Good sound advice on leasing vs buying.

This man is saving a lot of people a lot of money. Keep it up man, you're doing a great job. Keep those car manufacturers honest.

I was literally JUST considering a 2020 used Range Rover velar with only 13,000 miles on it. I thought what a Great deal, Not sure why the price was $47000 the miles were low, but after watching this video I decided against it thank you so much!

If someone wants to buy an Escalade and Enjoy it they should go for it. When I buy a car it being "socially responsible" doesn't even come to mind. What happened to "life is too short to drive boring cars" ?

Spot on Mark. Years gone by, Cadillac once had the motto "The Standard of the World" for excellence. It had its own division at GM. Now it's rebadged junk in the long line of GM products plagued by shared problems. Range Rover, the premier money pit. Jeep, another Stellantis debacle, compliments of Fiat/ Chrysler. And who doesn't love a Maserati SUV? Answer; anyone who owns a Maserati of any model. BMW gets its own dishonorable mention.

Great video bro! What is your opinion on the Land Rover Discovery? Does it have the same issues as the Velar?

Mark you are on point with your comments about these crap cars. I was laughing to myself because none of them were open when you were filming and then it hit me these dealers aint giving you keys to their cars as you so rightfully dis their products..

Mark, Thanks for the honest and concise reviews. I was thinking the newer IXM 60 BMW due for release early next year. Don’t forget to drop in your review. Thanks

It's sad to see how some of these vehicles are so nice to look at and are a pleasure to drive, but will end up as a huge money drain. But I guess the manufacturers don't really care because they know the vehicles are going to sell regardless. Great video.

Always great videos Mark,!!

I had 3 Escalade,s and I had problems with all of them even though it’s my favorite suv

Tanks for your fair warnings and observations.................

Another great video. Awesome job!

Thanks for your help and advice 🙏

Great information. Thanks

I absolutely love the large SUVs like the escalade, and the expedition. My 2015 expedition is wonderful in every way. It's hard to believe I had smaller vehicles before the expedition.

Another great informative episode 👍

Hello mark, thanks for another very good and interesting video.👍

Do you recommend a basic BMW s30i X3? Or do these smaller suvs have the same problems as the X7 featured here? Any issues with checking the oil levels with their sensors and computer vs a dipstick?

Great stuff and you are absolutely correct about these particular vehicles 👍🏾

Hey Exotic can you do a video on the 2023 Audi SQ5 Sportback is it worth buying, engine, longevity etc. Thank you great video as always!

Great point on the Escalade, yes it’s beautiful but not worth over 100k for basically a Tahoe with a different infotainment system,front end, and tail lights. As soon as you step in the back it screams plastic Tahoe and Yukon.

love your vid thanks. what do you think of the 2022 BMW X3 ?

I completely agree with you with these vehicles at 5:54 ,if you need a backup camera for a car, you shouldn't be driving, hop on the bus Gus

What's your take on 2 years old, under 20K mileage Benz GLC? TIA.

The escalade was on your 300k+ mile video as well. So is it crappy, or will it last forever?

Hey there! I love your reviews but I never ran into an Audi SQ7 review from your Channel, I was thinking of purchasing a 2020 or 2022 Audi SQ7, do you think it can last 7-10 years with proper maintenances? I searched throughout the internet or you tube no one has done one as you do yet.

Thanks fo the info and your time Very well Done 😛😛😛😛😛😛

Love the HONEST REVIEWS

Hopefully my 2019 Murano will be a good SUV. I know the engine is right up there with Toyota/ Honda and Hopefully the newer ones will have fewer tranny problems than the older ones. Hopefully changing the tranny fluid every 40k will help! Fingers crossed 🤞

Just bought a x740i x drive against my will. Thankfully got one with 20k miles on it for 65k; almost 30 grand off of its initial sale price when new. Only plan on keeping it a few years, and with the price we paid, once sell it will be similar to a lease. The problem was, most new gm products cost the same if not more for much less bang for buck. The new escalade was exorbitantly expensive with a list price over 120k. I stayed clear of any range rover products. I was really pushing for a lexus gx, but the exterior and interior design looked decades old and wouldn't fly with the wife unfortuanrely. I think it's worth mentioning that the x740i has the b58 motor which is directly from the supra, a vehicle made under the supervision of Toyota. With it being I believe the fourth or fifth derivative of the initial n55 engine it has hopefully improved on a lot of the things you've mentioned even though almost all bmws suffer the same issues. And to be honest, I'd rather deal with Vanos and gaskets than entire transmission like gm products. The x750i I'd stay clear of as well. V8 twin turbos from. Bmw emit so much heat and the issues you mentioned happen in almost half the time as compared with the x740i

Hey, really enjoy your videos. Fellow Canadian from Quebec. Looking to upgrade from a 2017 bmw 330 to a 2018 440i gran coupe. Getting it inspected for all common b58 issues. The car has 43,000 kms. Any tips I could use? I’d appreciate it. Thanks!

Do the other range rovers suffer from those issues as well? (Sport)

Hi , how is Acura RDX resale value keeping? And are the 2022 RDXs reliable?

I own a Grand Wagoneer series 3 and I haven’t had a single issue. The build quality is perfect, so much better than the Range Rover that I traded it in for!

I have owned 3 RangeRovers, I do recommend to anyone buying a used one to buy a good GAP tool and that will allow you to diagnose and fix many of the issues. There is a very good RR Forum for those willing to get their hands a bit dirty. Also there is no such thing as a "lifetime" transmission oil. Get it changed every 75.000 km.

Damn Mark! For 5 vehicles that collectively are pushing $400K, they are a deep and singular misery. As Wayne from "Letterkenny" would say: Buying any of these vehicles is a hard no!

I have a 2021 Bmw x7 is a pleasure to drive it i wouldn’t change for anything is so smooth I really love this car I have it now for 18 months so far i didn’t have any issues with the car I love the fact that i can open my car and drive it just with my phone no key needed All the maintenance is done at bmw service

My sister bought a 2023 X7 for $95k brand new back in August. In less than 3 weeks the car suddenly cuts off while she was driving it. BMW claims it was a bad transmission. They later came back and told them that the car couldnt be repaired after they tried to install a new transmission. Turns out there's an online forum of folk who have bought this same year model who are having the same problem.

The Range Rovers just look so awesome

Mark is so mad of talking about range Rover all the time lmao in the bad vehicles section 🤣. He's like "Here we go again with you Range rover!" 😂

Love my 2022 BMW X7 M50. Great truck first 12k miles

Gm has had lifter/rocker issues for decades….. my boat is an 89’ carver w/ a 5.7 mercruiser & it had a lifter collapse that then broke a push rod in 2 & broke the rocker…… had to replace all that & then tighten all the lash out of the nuts on all the rockers….. but, that said, the small block chevys are some very reliable engines otherwise

I smiled when I saw the Maserati Levante 😄 What a potential money pit. Not to mention the bits and pieces from Dodge that you get on the inside. For me that's a deal breaker. Spot on with the Range Rover, talking about the king of money pits 😃

Mark, would you recommend the BMW X3 or X5 2015-2017, 2019, and 2022?

Any opinions on the longevity of the BMW X3 x30i? B48 engine hold up well??

I’ve never driven a Maserati, but agree with the rest. Other than the looks l was shocked how less a quality the Range Rover is.

I know the American cars have issues, and I also know The Range Rover and Maserati are vehicles that MUST be a avoided! However, I’m on X7 number two right now, have been driving BMW’s the past 30 years, and never have I experienced anything like what he experienced on the BMW. The old BMW’s had quite a bit of electrical problems…that’s long ago stopped for me. The N63 engine in my 6-series burned a bit of oil, but I had almost zero problems in seven years…No brake, suspension, or any of those issues. I’m not understanding why the X7 is on this list.

Hi Mark, which of the Audi Q5 Model year and engine do you recommend?

“Roach infested couch to the dump” lol that paints a clear picture !! Thank you for sharing your opinion based on your knowledge 🎃🎃🎃🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻 Cheers Mark 🍻🍻

I wish I was wealthy and could buy the Maserati. Beautiful suv. Since I am not, I avoid all these vehicles. I couldn't afford to repair them if they broke out of warranty.

Could you do a review of Lexus gx460? People seem to be on both extremes of the spectrum on this one.

The rear view mirror on the Escalade is bigger than my car! 🤣😂🤣

Is there any other potential breakdown list for this BMW x7 ? It looks that it is broken when it rolls out of the showroom,, “shame on you BMW “ what have you done to my favorite car?

Doesn't the base level X7 come with the mostly reliable B58 engine? Does this motor still suffer from the same issues as the N54 and N55 engines?

Oh my poor dealership complaining after I spent hundreds of thousands dollars now I’m whining really because of your mistakes

I want to get a cx9 2020 gt edition what do you think.

You are starting to become Scotty Kilmer

I have a question what are your thoughts of leasing an M340i?

The lights are on but nobody's home the future of cars such a shame

There are people who must have these large tanks, as you call them. We do not drive them to bear down on Honda Civics, some of us have kids and large families. I am raising 5 grandkids and a mentally ill daughter, and have to use a large vehicle every day. They also bring friends to church and other destinations. I would like to see the Escalade, Yukon, or the others in that class add an additional seat for a fourth row. Some of us can't drive a Ferrari or Maserati. Please Keep that perspective in mind in your videos.

"Consumer Reports" collects data from thousands of drivers...BMW brand is one of the best cars around: "Toyota, Lexus, and BMW are the top three most reliable brands in our annual auto reliability brand rankings, with the German automaker jumping up 10 spots from last year to join the two reliability stalwarts on the podium. Mazda, last year’s second-ranked automaker dropped two spots to come in fourth, while Honda rounds out the top five."

The velar is pure trash can. My coworker has one that’s about 5 years old. All he does is complain about his broken door handles and other electrical issues. It looks good though

“Nothing short of a hurst.” 😂😂😂

can't help but ask, after all these years of production and r&d..how come these luxury vehicles aren't made reliable?

I think this would be way more entertaining if you filmed while these dealerships were actually open for business 😂🤣 I appreciate the advice either way!

I bet many of those vehicles would give you better protection in a crash though than anything that does not depreciate so much.

Im sorry. I absolutely fell in love with the X7 two years ago. So i had to get it and im loving it. Hopefully it treats me well

wagoneer and grand wagoneer like them both not worth the money the NEW long wheel base wagoneer L grand wagoneer L has a new in line I-6 will it go 200k miles like the old 4.0 1987-2006 ? ,one needs a passenger interactive screen? plus 2nd row ent screens ? and rear passenger touch screen for ac controls ?

what's your take on a Porsche Cayenne Turbo e-Hybrid?

No talk about ford expedition 3.5 ecoboost...is it too bad to talk about or extra durable to be put on this list sir ....???

Any thoughts on the Cadillac XT4?

This guy looks like he just escaped from jail, broke into nearest car dealership and is walking around its parking lot occaisionally punching the camera...

Alfa Stelvio did not make the list, I thought that would be battling the Maserati for top spot

What about the Acura MDX? Thanks!

Question that x7 is it the m50i or the b58?

So what's good to lease?🤔

Ah yes I remember my old Nissan Terrano. just went on and on and on, just need servicing ( yes at 5,000 miles I know ) oh I wish we could still buy old tech cars like that, lasting 200.000 miles.

Looking at your first pick on the video; I've owned a GM SUV for a dew years now and it has been more expensive to maintain and annoying to work on than any of the the European cars I've owned. Build quality, handling and reliability are absolute garbage. Trading it in for a Mercedes in a few months. It'll cost me less to maintain 🤣

Porsche Macan is a great suggestion!

Where does the Porsche Cayenne, with V8 stand? Have you ever done a video on them?

good summary...

I would say that you’re SPOT ON, with your list of luxury vehicles to avoid.

Which is best daily driving luxury sports car

Say something about Land cruiser diesel 5.7 litre about the real realability of suv.

Asking if Audi Q3 with regular gas turbo will last?

Keep them coming Sir.

Absolutely no holding back yes bud you got a big pair 👍 👏

Honestly...the escalade, Maserati and range rover are just something people drive to flex at how much money they have. That jeep though...who the hell is really out here flexing with a wagoner 😂

Curious......has any of luxury car companies respond to your videos? If so, what do they say?

One of favourite channels because almost try to speak truth

Out of everything he said, this is what remained in my head. "Roach infested couch to the dumps" @13:00

After this man gives his professional opinion no car is safe.

very good , so many daft electrics ;;; i'll stop there and won't be so harsh as last time ;;; but i think i will stick with my toyota hiace ;;;;

What about the X5/X3? Or GLE?

I have used my escalade for 10 years with no problems

Lexus suv’s aren’t even luxury they are just different styled toyota interiors with the same buttons.

X5M, 50000 miles, $10k engine repair, talk about quality luxury SUV, come one, BMW.......
