haahahhahahahahaaha

He is the SW of the UK people love Landrovers no matter how many times you tell them they are expensive and unreliable !

What a shame.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I sell auto parts. Same here. You buy what's proven.

@@jamesward5721 I am amazed. The Renaults in Europe must be way better than the ones that made it to the US. The reputations of the LeCar and Alliance here were terrible overall, though I had a schoolmate in high school whose family had two 1985 Alliances, and he loved them. I share your philosophy though. I want an '80's-era Volvo 240 so bad I can taste it, but they are getting very hard to find for decent prices. People have figured it out, and the prices are going up.

@@k.b.tidwellRenault (and French and Italian cars in general) had a poor reputation in Europe as well, and it was partly a deserved one. All those brands have significantly improved the quality of their vehicles though.

@@kaasmeester5903 yes I believe the '80's were a bad time for most all manufacturers lol.

I want a nice car but my brain tells me to just buy a corolla cross naturally aspirated. I had a nissan naturally aspirated with a manual transmission for 12 year, it wont die, im thinking it would still be running in 10 years.

Thank you!

Wasn't it almost the chaepest out of all luxury brands lol 12 000 over 10 years isn't bad at all.... It's like 12 thousand times better than any Toyota, so it makes perfect sense 😊

yeah, its crazy how the tyres wear so fast with normal driving, especially the michelin pilot sports wear so fast, a set are like 1400 plus. company car's say in the UK, the company pay for the tyres and the majority of the insurance, so really ain't a problem unless you actually own one yourself. if you wanna play you gotta pay.

Not always true. My Model Y is at 33,000 and I'll be changing at 35,000.

And of course you know all this because you have made a horrendous purchasing error and landed yourself with one of these expensive Teslas for the last five years. Maybe you can do a little research next time. For a start, you need to specify AWD or RWD because that makes an enormous difference to tyre deg. But hey, I don't want you impinge on your narrow world view. In the years I have owned a Tesla I have never waited to supercharge even once. And my insurance was £90 less this year than last.

Brakes as well take a hammering. He said you don't use them much!

What about replacing the batteries?!

My 03 MB E320 didn't need brakes until 80k miles. My first tires last me 190k miles. I only gave it 2 oil changes in 21 years. Best car ever

@@maxxbenzz7842 DAMN THAT IS INCREDIBLE. I've always dreamed of driving a Mercedes. Maybe time I took a serious look.

​@@maxxbenzz7842 It's a lie😂

As a hybrid doesn't the Prius have a gas engine in there? Doesn't it have a timing belt, or is it a chain?

@@k.b.tidwell It's a chain and yes the gas engine propels the car and also charges the hybred batteries at the same time allowing the car to get excellent miliage with enough power. Wonderful car. I'm 76 and have never had a car this amazing and dependable!!

@@kens805 yes I have a customer who is an airplane mechanic, now on his second Prius after the first was in an accident. Interesting vehicle, and if I'd buy a hybrid over a full electric anytime because of the range. I commented because if it did indeed have a timing belt, you've been VERY lucky lol.

@@k.b.tidwell I'm pretty sure Toyota uses a timing chain on all their vehicles. The same with their CVS transmissions.

I give you that Prius is up there in reliability. But God, that car is so effing Fugly. I’d rather drive a basic Corolla than drive a Prius.

This is true. I'm in my mid 50's now. My wife and I were following this same trajectory. Last two years, I pulled out my money and invested with her wealth manager. Not catching up with her profits over the years, but at least I earn more. I'm making money even before retiring, and my retirement fund has grown way more than it would have with just the 401(k). Haha.

It's true, not everyone has access to this kind of information. Lack of knowledge can definitely make people panic. But it's amazing that you've been able to make over $287k passively through investing with an advisor! Having a great wealth manager can really make a difference, regardless of how the economy is doing. Keep up the good work!

At a point like this, when the pressure is already on you to retire, its best recommended you seek the services of an adviser, as this allows you make smarter investing decisions.

Deborah Lynn Dilling is the licensed adviser I use. Just research the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.

Any move into Toyotaville is a good move.

And someone else just got a bargain.

I own a 2007 Mazda6 2.3L Dynamic A/T. This car will outlive me and won't brake the bank. And you are right, the handling is exceptional, you can throw it in any corner and it doesn't want to leave the road.

Smart man or woman

Doing your own oil change of a German car = $70. And that is using Liqui Molly German full synthetic oil.

Not using OEM parts can also be a huge saver, especially on the more expensive cars. Parts like generators or turbochargers can often be refurbished at a fraction of the cost, after which they are good as new. Or hit the breaker yards: Volvo wanted to charge me €350 for a pair of simple hydraulic lines (for a folding roof). A breaker pulled one out of a C70 in his lot and charged me €15 for it.

I’ve been driving Toyota’s for 40+ years and they have Never let me down. I’ve owned 1 Subaru and it was the Biggest POS to ever leave Japan. I currently own a 23 Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab, long bed with the premium and technology pkgs. I plan on driving my TRD until I die and after my death I’m quite sure that my wife will still be using it to plow the 5-7 feet of snow off our private road and driveway until she dies.

​@@Doc1855 ...that got dark quick...

@@Doc1855Have you seen the latest reports about Toyota and their trucks?

@@Doc1855 Toyotas are going downhill at this point

I couldn't believe that they have to be shipped off to be fixed in an accident and insurance is like 2x the cost.

Recent USA survey had Tesla as the worst reliability along with Polestar. Something ain't consistent here!

How much capacity is left in the batteries after 10 years?

Felt like April 1st when I saw that lol.

My 2005 GMC Sierra is the same Everything works just fine Ice Cold Air great heat just maintenance. 4.3 Liter V6 is great on gas. has been a very good truck hauled so many things for friends and family over the years.

Why would you expect them to be mentioned in a video on most costly vehicles to maintain if you have had few issues?

Totally agree I had one…

@@norwichnorfolk1584 I put 992K miles on my 90 Volvo 240DL. Yes the rear end was starting to make a howl and it was using a 1/2 quart of oil between changes, the transmission wasn’t as smooth as it was when it was new, but it was still reliable, until a Semi truck hit me from behind and totaled it. I walked away with no injuries except a whiplash. When we got stopped, the bumper of the Semi was on the rear roof of my beloved Volvo

It tanked before then (the Ford days - the S80 was a known 'disaster car'). When Volvo was their own entity they built some of the most durable vehicles of all time.

@@arielatom68a56 Yes when they truly were Volvo. If automobile companies build quality, reliable and durable vehicles then people will buy them and stay loyal. I’ve driven Toyota’s for 40+ years. But when Communist Biden shut down America’s oil production and forced Americans to buy oil from our enemies and our fuel prices Skyrocketed, I sold my 11 Rav 4WD Limited with the 268hp 3.5L V6 and bought a new Subaru Forester Touring to try to get better fuel economy. Boy I was wrong about that. My Rav got 21mpg city and 28mpg freeway. My GUTLESS 182 hp Forester only got 19-20mpg city and 24mpg freeway. My Forester was literally in the repair shop more often than it was in my garage. After 4 years of owning it, it had only 15K miles on it because it was in the shop so often. It was a comfortable car with Excellent traction, but it was the BIGGEST POS to ever leave Japan. I finally traded it in for a new Tacoma TRD Off Road, double cab, 6’ bed with the Premium and Technology pkgs. I was literally praying that it wouldn’t break down when the dealership was taking it on a test drive. After buying my Tacoma, I immediately installed a cold air intake and had the OTT installed. My truck now has 318hp and 295 lb ft of torque at 2,300 RPM. At 75mph with the cruise set, I’m getting 24mpg. At 82mph with the cruise set I’m getting 22mpg. In city driving I’m getting 19-20mpg. I’m retired and drive only 6-8K miles per year. I plan on keeping my TRD until I die. I’m quite sure that my wife will still be using it to plow the 5-7 feet of snow we get every winter off of our private road and driveway. I’m SOOOO HAPPY that I bought my 23 TRD.

Absolute nonsense - BYD makes the best cars in the world - I think you're living in the 80s - China has made rapid progress - even Elon Musk admits this fact.

I was the exact opposite. I have wanted to buy a brand new Lexus for a very long time but I’ve never been able to justify the cost. I looked at a CRV EX-L hybrid last weekend and the sticker was $40k. For me personally, at that price point, I’m just going to spend some more and buy what I’ve always wanted and I got the Lexus.

@@spades9048 Lexus is the exception due to its reliability. Acura too but not as luxury.

True, Mazda belongs to Top 5 reliability and low (TCO Total Cost of Ownership) - plus the fun you have driving.

Expensive parts

As was I. I've visited the Car Edge site to check and found that the most popular Mazda models are cheaper than average to own, just not as good as the Toyota equivalents. The Mazda 3: $5.4k over 10 years. The CX-3: $7.2k. The CX-30: $7.2k. The CX-5: $7.3k. The CX-9: $7.6k. The (ultimate fun car) Miata: $5.8k. However Mazda as a brand averages $8k!

??

Same with my Hyundai dealer. They are thieves. I got a recall notice in the mail, and I do not want to take it in for that. Last time I took it in for a recall they pulled the wire loose from the high mount third brake light and said it was not working. They called me back to the service area to show me a wire with about an inch of copper wire showing passed the insulation. which says they pulled it loose. Had the car inspected for its annual state safety inspection at a local garage the day before and all lights MUST be working for your car to pass. They charged me 58.00 dollars to reconnect it. One of a couple of times they pulled crap.

Thank you!

you should consider the fact that this list is for poor people who likes to buy into nice things.

I echo your setiments. I have had zero issues. Tires are expensive, but I knew that prior to purchasing. Being able to afford a vehicle goes way beyond purchase day.

It depends on the quality and ability of the non brand mechanics. For simple services/intermediate services that my work, but where specialist knowledge or tools are required you are better off get the right people to do the right job.

@@lsj6721 nailed it. Everyone on this thread will praise their CRVs and RAV4s. It's about enjoying a car's performance/design VS getting from point A to point B. I had a slightly used Nissan Murano which was a nightmare - something was always breaking despite maintenance at the dealer. Now I drive A4 Allroad (and maintain it properly) and it's the most reliable car I've ever had.

@@Selector21 problem with this page is its heavy reliance on consumer reports, which is flooded by regular people who are not willing to spend on maintenance; while people who blindly follow these kinds of channels act like buy a toyota is the smartest thing that any person can do.

If that was for timing components then that's normal among ALL vehicles with timing belt maintenance requirements. My Tacoma had to have that service at 100,000 miles, which is absolutely normal, even though I've had to do no other repairs to it.

Thank you! Hope you're enjoying it

Thank you!

And you have never replaced brake discs or pads???

@@AidasRusa Brake pads and rotors are original and still good. Just fluid changes and spark plugs.

It sucks how bad I want a Rav4 Hybrid and most dealerships are out of stock or insane markups. I cannot afford to wait any longer and will be switching over to Mazda

Honda has gotten much better but Toyota is still brutal.

That's what I have been hearing for the last 2 years.

​​@@liljoe23laThat is what I did. Got a cx5 in January 2024.

@@liljoe23lacurious…..do you find the RAV4 comfortable? I considered one, just found it so uncomfortable.

Thank you!

Good maintenance plays a key role in durability, for sure.

If your Buick has the 3.8 engine...congrats! That's one of the best engines GM ever built. BUT...pay attention to two little plastic water pipes shaped like L's, that connect the water pump to the engine. Your car is at the age where those things decay and leak. If you're mechanically interested, they aren't too big a deal to replace and are easily sourced from any auto parts store under the Dorman or Motormite brand. The part number is 47065 for the like-factory plastic elbows, and even better, part number 47065HP for a METAL replacement that should eliminate any future problems. Plastic is never great where heat and liquid transfer is involved on an engine. Yours truly, a 35 year parts sales guy. Enjoy your Buick!

@@jerrypolverino6025 oops I forgot about the intake. I've sold a bunch of them too. There's a place for plastic, but I don't think the engine is it lol.

Thank you!

Leasing = fleecing.

Never change. Get that Model T and enjoy.

IMHO, the AVERAGE consumer considers the features, looks, and payment. Do research such as track record? Nah!

You still have to replace stuff like coolant, brake fluid, battery tho and oil twice a year.... Fair to say it is more than 400 but bro. Its nothing .

Thank you!
