My buddy has a V6 mustang that we used to clown on him for. Everyone else in our friend group has a V8 but in recent years he’s been saving way more money than us in gas.

Every Tesla should be on this list. Too many issues to count. Cost a fortune to fix, a lot of waiting, and most shops won't touch them.

The Ecoboost Mustang was the best selling "Mustang"...until the Mach E came.

The Ecoboost makes all S550 Mustangs legit performance cars no matter what drivetrain option is chosen. Especially since you can get PP1 and PP2 performance packages. If you are a young enthusiast, in your 20's, first time car buyer you get a break on your insurance rates than the GT, you have way more usable room in Mustang than you would with the GT86/BRZ twins for roughly the same price and with a turbo upgrade and tune you would making GT350 hp and tq. I'm 60 yrs old I remember the Mustang SVO when it was new. Even Road &Track said it handled better than a Ferrari. But Stang bros were more interested in 1/4 mile times than turning a corner and the GT was cheaper.

Nothing wrong with the eco stang, I have one and love it so much

Disagree with the Ecoboost. That car puts out a lot of power and since it’s a turbo 4. It responds really well with mods cheap on gas light weight and a lot of aftermarket support. This engine was also used in the AWD 350hp Ford Focus RS.

You explained exactly what the fix is for the MazdaSpeed 3’s problem is. So buying it isn’t so dumb now, is it? And a bit of disassembly isn’t really much for someone who’s been working on cars for a bit.

I owned a 2013 ford focus…. I loved that car.She got 30 mpg just driving around…..on the highway it went up to 37 mpg.Mine had a manual/stick transmission so no problem like the automatics.Hard to get anything with a stick anymore.

The eco stang is a great car! I've owned 2 a 15 and a 16 both premium pack and the 16 with a ford performance tune and the larger calipers and brakes. I'll say it doesn't sound good, but it's still a fun car! To someone like me who loves the mustang, but doesn't want 15 MPG, the eco is the better way to go! Personally, now I drive a 14 3.7 because I got a good deal and for longevity, I trust the proven 3.7 much more not to mention the v6 sounds GREAT with a Rousch exhaust! It blows my mind the v6/4 cylinder stangs get so much hate. They make so much more sense than a daily driving V8. It also annoys me when people say "You don't get a mustang for the gas mileage". I'm like no, but that doesn't mean I want as shitty fuel economy as possible. 15mpg vs say my v6 which I average about 22 in the city may not seem like much at face value, but it's the difference between getting 240 miles in a full tank vs mine which I get about 340 miles per tank. Also not forget its got over 300 horsepower, as much as older V8s and there's still modding potential. Needless to say, the v6/eco mustangs are still great cars and without them the V8 wouldn't be possible.

Dead wrong about the eco, it’s a great car and it’s actually smarter to buy then the v8 buddy, better gas mileage and torque too

I've just started the video, I'm fully expecting to see at least one car that I've owned on this list 🤣

You're off base on the mustang svo. It was faster and better than the v8. Also had 5 lug hub vs the normal fox body 4 lug.

The Mazdaspeed6 also had the same engine as the Mazdaspeed3 but would snap rear diff mounts and drive shafts. Mazda no longer makes those rear drive shafts so you have to go aftermarket when they snap. Both shafts and rear diff mounts you are over $1300 in after market parts and you have to drop the rear end out to fix them so you might as well get new suspension and anything else done that needs replaced. I still want one.

So the only issue for the Ecoboost Mustang is an opinion. At least it's mechanically fine.

My B5 has most of those annoying failure points removed. And I have definitely gotten good at removing the front core support. Lol

The 1982 Chevrolet Camaro with the Iron Duke 2.5 L inline 4-cylinder

We all know the mustang should not be on this list. Even if it does not have a v8, it's a good car.

Don’t necessarily agree with your opinion on the ecoboost mustang , it does sound like a rice burner but it is because it shares the same block as the speed 3 and 6i t’s a great daily it’ll never be the v8 but it still better then how you talk about it, for people who just want a mustang it’s a great option save money on gas and might I add oil change cost of a eco is way less then a gt plus it corners a hell of a lot better due to less weight on the nose, I don’t understand why they get so much hate their a great starter platform that cheap and responds to bolt on well, way overboard on the SVO btw , I own a FBO Ecoboost mustang and Whipple stage 2 GT in case anyone wants to say I’m biased 😂

The mustang one sound as just hate

I’m not a mustang fan, but even I know they shouldn’t be on this. Lower cost and insurance alone proves they’re value in society.

A list of BMWS would've done the video better

Please please please never buy the focus with the DCT. I had one and it was a really nice car for the price, OTHER THAN THE TRANSMISSION. Absolute nightmare, 80,000 kilometres on it and it failed. To make things worse, the TCM (Ford's bandaid "fix") is on backorder for nearly a year. Luckily I upgraded to a 9th gen Civic Si that I absolutely love. Hope it runs forever.

The fact that you mentioned the SVO was an a.zing addition and ford trying something new. Ford got rid of it because it was faster than the 5.0

Jaguar x type is not just a Mondeo.

The SVO foxbody had way more horsepower then the regular GT foxbody though…

You showed a first gen mini S engine (2002-2006) while talking about “late 2000’s” (gen 2). 1st gen is nice although they can have timing chain issues if not maintained. The 2nd gen is the worst of the bmw minis but not a total lemon if maintained….and my son is a mini mechanic.

Damn bro u about nailed it. I guess you omitted the 3v F150 and the Neon due to lack of time cause everything else on this list IS a turd, oh and the compass almost forgot. Lol

I’ve seen the Hoffman at the Lane motor museum in Nashville. It was a weird thing for sure

8:00 Not a Solara, that's a Lexus. Still a good choice though compared to a Chrysler.

I had a 2013 gli with the 6 speed that was great in like 2015. But it got me hooked and was looking locally for something more powerful fairly quickly. I found a single owner b8 s4 that had like 50k, and was at the same dealership that my dad worked at the bodyshop. The owner was an elderly professional, that he meticulously maintained. I scoffed at the auto transmission, but decided to go through with the test drive anyway. Glad I did, because I absolutely fell in love. Was obviously my first experience with a dual clutch auto. The powertrane was solid (while burning a bit of oil) up until 2 months ago, when I traded it in. It was painful, as I had grown attached to it, and had lots of memories. I did so because it turned 110k, and was starting to need more and more minor repairs, and also a costly starter. I knew it would wind up becoming a money pit, if I held out longer. Great car though

in Australia the PT Cruiser was so renown for being a bucket or shit that anyone who owned one was referred to as a "PT Looser".

Worst cars to buy are basically any Kia/Hyundai, Jaguar/Land Rover, and Maserati! Maserati and Range Rovers are proof you can shine shit! Haha

I have 3 Audi's, all turbo 4 cylinder. A 2001 B5, 2004 B6 and 2014 B8. My 01 has 200,000+ miles on it and in the 3 years I've been driving it I've never been stranded. I've put about 60K miles on it with no major issues!

British car: Synonym for unreliable “MATE MY ROVER BROKE! DARN YOU BRIISH CAR”

The late model cheverlete 4.3 ltr engine is having problems recently too. I've had lots of em and I've had to replace accessories but never had any problem with the 4.3 ltr engine. Now I have a 2018 I've never had to replace an accessory or anything what is knocking can I change the oil religiously yes it has 180,000 Mi but I'm used to getting 300,000 Mi on a big engines. What what went wrong?

My friend had a versa in high school we were driving about 60 mph and got in an accident while he was driving and we did like 2 360’s and hit an electrical box. When I tell you that my life flashed before my eyes… let’s just say I’m glad I didn’t die in that monstrosity of a vehicle 🤣

I think the ford pinto should’ve be on that list remember it burst into flames after any minor accident.

Yesss sir Indian bois ind a chat

Best volvo engines are the redblocks. They can take alot of beating, have blown up a few in the past. But thats my fault because no service and real hard driving on the redline etc. But we could get them on the junkyard for about 100-200$ back then. If you take care of your car and drives it like a normal person most cars will hold

Dodge Stratus/Breeze/Cirrus are way worse than Sebrings...believe me. I had a Cirrus and it was bad, and I was young/stupid. The battery was above the driver side tire. They overheated all the time. They were quick if you had the Holley throttle body, but that was it. Plus, front wheel drive. Not fun, not reliable, 2/10 lol

The SVO wasn't the first time Ford messed up. I had a 1.8L Turbo 4 1980 Cobra. Piece of trash in every imaginable way. Shame, it looks cool, but spent most of it's life in one shop or another.

@3:25 "screwedup" youre a funny guy

I am a Camaro guy but the crowd killer jokes are not funny

Mustang compact? Those things are larger than an E class.

I urge you to take a little more time and look at the Svo foxbody more it was definitely a better car all around. The lighter engine made it more agile and had a better weight distribution. It also had a better 0-60 time compared to its GT counter parts. Yes I will agree everyone who wants a mustang wants the V8 car but as much as I hate to say it v8 is a dieing breed with these gas prices and on top of the increased price of the vehicle making the current eco boost a great option sure its not as quick and doesn't sound as good but for what it is it's a very good car and enough power to satisfy the average consumer and I can ensure you it has more than enough power for street driving I've looked into modding my eco boost to match the power of stock gt but at the same time what's the point you can't legally use the extra power gains anyway it get me up to highways speeds no time flat so why do I need the extra power or worse gas mileage?

I had a Pontiac trans sport v6 and never again, I had to tear off the inner cylinder head because of the exhaust leak (a bolt had gone off). Later, the intake broke, after that the gearbox began to malfunction and locked itself in overdrive. That with the gearbox I easily fixed by connecting a switch to the overdrive solenoid. Started leaking coolant inside the car due to the heater broke etc etc. Got a fiat ritmo for about 100$ it I drove for a couple of months before it started to be a lot of different electrical faults.

And when the pt cruiser came out, it was named the car of the year by motor trend magazine, go figure...

And btw. The turbo mustang was cool, and is still cool.

Yo pistachio gelato is delicious

As long as the problem is reasonably correctable without being expensive, its not a walk away just because a given car has a problem.

Wrong about the Eco and wrong about the SVO.

out of topic but that man cutting those beans? asparagus? looks like he's never cooked in his fucking life and its so funny lmao.

Oh my God that fix it again Tony special I heard one behind the city bus once I thought the city bus was crapping out lol 🤣😉👌🤣🤣🤣🤣

Owned a 12 Versa 6 spd, had to do front shocks at 54k miles and got rid of the car the day after, found a 19 Accord 6spd. Couldn’t be happier.

Mr Danger we’ll be in trouble pumping gas in that Bentley VW 😂

I LEARNED TO DRIVE ON A YUGO…. MY auntie had one when I was 12….

The W12 (& W16) is set up like a VR6. Well I suppose 2 VR6's put together like a normal V6 or V8.

4 cylinder mustang is just such a meme 😂😂

Any benz with ABC ride control

Hard to watch....way too many commercials!

The Freelander was just a Ford Escape/Mazda Tribute

make a video on best land rover to buy or JLR Comeback.❤️

ChrisFix buy his dad his dream car just so he can make more repair video.

Idk if it was just me but vid seemed kinda off no background music like there normally is and just mentioned a car and then zooming to the next felt kinda weird and rushed, but other then that good vid👍

I literally saw a 7 series do that exact thing yesterday and didn’t know why the hell it did that lol

6:19 The cutouts show mostly R56 models and these have a PSA and not a Tritac engine, which incidentally does not make things better! The early models up to 2006 had the Tritec engine, not the later 2000s models! 'Btw. the PSA engines are even more vulnerable than the Tritec engines and have significantly more teething problems! The Tritec engines are good and regular service even very good and robust engines, which is due to the steel engine block!

I love my 2021 charger scat pack. Fun car to drive, just wish I would have gotten the wide body.

Call Ecoboost Mustang dumb, but in Europe there is A LOT of them. Not that I support it though.

The 2.7 dodges sludged up.. But did go 200k despite The pt cruiser looked. Crap but where reliable The jag xtype was a great car.. Depreciation ! Yes on all 3 big time.

Please add year ranges to the vehicles that are an issue, as most car models improve over time.

What? A Nissan versa is a bad car? I owned one for two years and never had any issues with it. I took it on several vacation trips from southern California to the Oregon coast. I ended up trading it for a Mercedes but somehow my cousin ended up with it and she's still driving it.

The RTR spec 5 In the thumbnail looks sick

Love your videos

As an Asian “I hate unknown” really strikes me hard. I intend to keep my old papa corolla 98 which burn more oil than normal(4 month 700ml) longer until i switch to a new Honda fit or crv deal.

Forgot the Gt350

L3-vdt eh, i wanted to swap it in my rx8 just because its HUGE displacement and because its mazdaspeed (i have mazdaspeed body kit installed on my red rx8)

6:20 look if you don’t know much about Minis don’t talk about them please. You literally showed 2 different generations that’s have 2 completely different engines. The gen 1 has the tritec supercharged 1.6L i4 and it’s reliable (I been owning one for 2 years). The r53 engine can handle alot of boost too. The 2nd gen mini from 07 to 10 the engine was N14 which is an unreliable engine. I recommend staying away from the 07 to 10 cooper S. The 10 and newer R56 has the N18 engine which is more reliable.

I have a 2000 Audi rs4 sedan it has 124 thousand miles it still runs fantastic I was in shock when I heard they have problems it was my uncle's car before he passed from cancer so if it starts giving me trouble I'll work on it it's the only thing I have from him

Honestly, pistachio Gelato is way better than vanilla ice cream.

Mid 2000s Chevy Tahoes should be on this list

The Hyundai Theta II engine deserves to be there somewhere.

I never thought I would be defending Mazda 3 owners but you're purposely making shit up. Big deal upgrade your fuel pump when you add hp. If you modify your car you should have to make compensatory upgrades. Doesn't make them dumb.

maserati quattroporte with the zf isnt a bad car tbh, zf is an smooth and reliable transmission and the f136 engine is also quite reputable as well surprisingly, its just the italian electrical issues that are the bigger issue usually

a4 b6 pwme with 160k on 1.8t 20v still runs and drives just fine xD

I honestly want a Phaeton V8, but I am purchasing a warranty too.

I bought a Brand new Mazda 3 MPS in 2008, had it tuned to 310 hp, owned it for 10 years and NEVER had a problem with it, I just had it serviced at the main dealership every year and that was it, it was a great performance hatchback, I wish I still owned it, take care.

Any American car. Those are the worst cars you should never buy.

Is it legal to put a bigger or louder horn on your truck

The Sebring coupe is as reliable as a similar year 3rd gen Eclipse…because it is one with better body cladding. I love mine.

i think having an ELR😅, swap out the motors and put a crazy turbo 4 cyl, or 4G-63 motor. The Cad just looks cool. Then i go race the Tesla with an engine. I don't even know why i'm thinking this, but dreams ...🤣🤣

Bro my Mcleren is also so dumb

I had a 2013 bmw 750i bought it at about 29k miles ran it to 70k until someone ran a red light and totaled it but I never had a single issue with that car just normal routine maintenance

Celica

Grab a flat 500 and put a k series in it and let see how it does 🤣

What about Mazda RX8? They're unreliable

loved the Sebring when I was in my pre-early teens my late maternal grandfather's 2nd wife drove a Sebring LXI coupe at that time the Sebring replaced the Imperial/Chrysler Lebaron coupe debuted for 1995 model year convertible for 1996 model year and the four door equivalent was the Chrysler Cirus had I not been legally blind/autistic I'd have either wanted a garnet red or Amathyst purple Sebring JXI convertible or a Toyota Camry Solara XLE V6 Convertible as my starter car my late maternal grandmother drove a 1990 Camry Dx 4 door hardtop sedan at the time though we later upgraded her to a 2005 LE model if not one of those I would've gone for a used 1990 Buick Skylark T Type coupe Riviera or Reatta convertible in either Ruby Red or midnight blue with red vinyl/cloth top

i just chose my new car its a 75 corvette i built a 350 with a mild cam 350 horse fun little car

My mini coupe s was in the shop more then it was on the road

Here are some numbers for the V8 clowns. From 1964 - 2010 V8 mustangs that's weren't a specialized performance version march1/cobra/shelby made less horsepower than any 4 cylinder ecoboost Mustang. Ecoboosts are more Mustang than decades of V8 Mustangs. Deal with it haters.
