Nissan announced they have purchased Renault's stake in the company and are now going to be strictly Nissan a Japanese auto company which is the smartest move they have made in some time. The Pathfinder CVT was removed in favor of a traditional automatic so I think Nissan is working on getting back to their old quality they once had. Now they need to dump the Nissan name and go back to Datsun and get the legendary quality they used to have back.
If they do as you say, Nissan will definitely be on my next car buying list. My first car was a used 1972 Datsun 510. It was a monster. Then a 1977 Datsun B210, then a 1981 Datsun SX200 and lastly a 1987 Nissan pathfinder. I never had a single issue with any of them.
Yes sir Datsun was on par with Toyota and Nissan up unto around the year 2000 then quality issues started appearing and then the dreaded CVT was introduced. I want to see small trucks like the Hardbody again. Reasonably priced with long life and great reliability. @@ericpizarro3084
The Datsun 510 was a poor man's BMW. Years ago I knew a mechanic who rallied 510s at Mossport. RIP NICK....He told me he was driving south on the 400 a d was going 140 mph . He saw flashing lites way back in his mirror....the OPP was chasing him. The cop couldn't beleive that a little 4 banger could be that quick. Nick told me if he had a 5th gear it would have been even faster. It was at redline when going 140 mph. I had a ride in a 510 with Koni shocks and P7 tires. Those 510s were incredible cars. Sadly, Nissan got left behind in Toyota and Hondas wake.
@@mikefoehr235 mine also had some caffeine in the engine! Let me tell you the one thing that all of us having that little Munster will do as a start. Because the 510 was the ONLY rear wheel drive car with springs on the back wheels in the 70, we would buy the big Chevy impala springs, cut them and install them with lots of modifications so that when we would do the pull the car wouldn’t got sock as the OEM springs will bring the car down for 0.5 seconds. However because of this unique suspension on the 510 those cars will handle second to none. Yes it was the best car I ever had. The SX 200 was also a super fast car. If I am not mistaken that was the very first 2.4 liter Japanese engine. Maybe I am wrong.
@@ericpizarro3084 According to Nik and Rainer, the 4 door 510 handled better than the 2 door. Not sure why but the 510 with suspensions mods was like a train on rails.
Ummm..... how about complaints about the CVT, and the rapidly increasing number of blown headgaskets on the 1.5T engines, as well as the oil dilution problems with the slightly older CR-Vs (Honda has supposedly resolved this issue on the newest models)? Nevertheless, the CR-V certainly has it's fans.

I got the 2023 Toyota Carolla SE Hybrid, mainly due to the fact I am a rideshare driver and work for a catering company. So, I am on the road often driving within the city. I would have opted for the Camry hybrid, but the payments were too high for me to make. The Prius was also more expensive. Same story there. I don't think anyone thinks of Corolla when they hear fun car. It's practical, very little issue. That's what Corolla buyers expect.
My friend purchased a 2023 Ford Bronco sport heritage edition and when we had the really cold days the coolant froze and the oil dipstick pushed out and shot oil everywhere. Not even 3000km. Great videos, great info! Happy with my Mazda CX-5! 😊
I have found that none of the people who rate automobiles, one says it is bad and another will rate it as a best buy. I just wish there is a place where we could get honest ratings to decide our purchases. I look and decide on my own, as I can't seem to get reliable information.
As suggested Honda Passport base model price starts at around 41 Grands,Beyond my reach. Just to add this is you tube every one is trying to to add subscribers and viewers. I always think if all these cars are bad why no one is taking any action against companies, where is buyer's protection.
I agree with you about the corolla pricing now. Luckily, I was able to purchase a 2021 Corolla SE Hatch 6spd manual in November 2020 for $22,100 OTD with FL tax. It made sense back then.
Seems like all manufacturers are going the way of smaller engines+turbo. The problem's that turbos create a lot more internal pressure, wear and tear, plus you have to really care for it (i.e. maintenance).
Sold a 2012 Soul recently at 95,000 miles. Was about to need some engine work and the suspension and steering bushings were needing replacement. But it was bought a a good price point and reliable up to that point. Our major complaint wasn't styling or lack of a sunroof - it was meant to be an inexpensive get-around vehicle. It was the mileage. Unexpectedly low, and the Feds spanked them in court for it. We received a debit card with about $600 as a result.
The fact that your only “gripe” on the Corolla is that for “a few thousand” more you can get a Camry speaks volumes. The Corolla is a reliable low priced basic car. Sure when you move up from the base model and up again you’re touching Camry territory, but the fact is many people can’t afford or don’t want to spend those extra thousands. Good effort though and you’ve definitely listed some duds.
The 2024 Corolla is not low priced. Even the lowest trim cheapest 2024 Corolla LE gasoline sedan is over 23k and that's with zero accessories (not even floor mats) and zero markup. Here in Dallas, most new 2024 Corolla LE have several thousand dollars in dealer markup. So yes, they're priced similarly to Camrys, even the cheapest Corollas. Smarter to just purchase the Camry.
The title say worst model from EVERY Maker. As we are talking Toyota in this case, there really isn't a bad car to pick, so the only option was to go with the worst cost/value ratio.
@@stuglenn1112Toyotas aren't as good as they were....they've slipped a lot....I've always picked Honda over Toyota..they have better style, power,handling, and are just as reliable as Toyota...infact, Honda has less issues than Toyota now ....and you can still get a civic SI, and a civic sport with a 6 spd standard tranny...yea..Honda is better . Mazdas are excellent too.
The most grief I've ever experienced with any car is with a Ford. I will never own a Ford product, unless It's a Volvo until the day I die... Great driving experience but a nightmare to own, just to change an alternator you have jack up the engine almost 10 inches. It's like the engineers never taught about that thing breaks, like putting a rubber 3 inch connector from the crank to the already cursed alternator nightmare. Thanks for the video and you have a great sense of humor, you get tongue in cheek like few other UA-camrs out there. God bless you and lots of love from Norway... edit: My experience with GM products are waaay better than the Ford products, like who would do a cambelt in oil bath that are so difficult and expensive to convert to chain it can total a 7 year old car? GM has serious problems too, but compared to my latest Ford ownership experience, it can't be as bad. Last time i owned a GM product was probably something produced in the early to mid 00's, so no experience with new GM products. But my main GM love was with Opels here in Europe produced from early 70's with the Ascona and Kadett, to the first gen Vectra and Calibra and of course the Manta is an ICON, the GT/E Kadett and Manta and later the GSi Manta, Kadett and Astra 1'st gen..... Now that Opel is owned by Stellantis, I would never buy on past experiences, but Peugeot was one of the best cars of ALL time with the 504 and the 505, I've owned a 505 diesel and if it was not for rust, I would still be driving that comfort machine to this day, wonderful car with great engineering....Road noise and a modern power train being the only things new cars do better.....

I have a 2020 Rav4 Hybrid with 445,000 Miles. It's been one of the best cars I've had. 40mpg on a good day. I post it all the time on Facebook and Reddit
I have a 07' CRV with 230,000 runs like a clock. Yes its not as substantial as the Passport but I like it in the snow in Vermont... The 1.5 liter turbo was a mistake! What was Honda thinking!?
I had a 2008 Honda CRV EX, it ran like a clock too, the new CRV's are truly trash. The more advanced features Honda is attempting to place on their vehicles, it seems like the worse they're getting. I have 3 CRV's now, two 2023 and one 2024 and they're constantly making a rattling noise and the Hybrid, the brakes barely work and I've come close to rear ending a few cars within days and I had plenty of space.
I just have to say, I feel like you are almost as big of an Bollywood fan as I am with all those sound effects, absolutely love it....LOL Gorbatchev style eyebrows, good one....
Have a 2010 Honda CR-V with 151,000 miles and ONLY issue we've had is a very minor one with the radio. Back then no direct injection, no turbos, 5 speed Automatic Transmission (not a CVT). Very easy to do oil changes on. The 2.4 is one reliable engine! Maybe Honda thought it was too reliable?
151k is nothing...my last Honda had about 360k when it was rear ended, my civic SI with the 6 spd standard tranny has a little over 300k and also runs excellent....Honda, Mazda and old Ford's are my faves. I've worked on cars for 20 years, and all my Hondas, Ford's and Mazdas have all gone well over 300k
Excellent job. Some serious contenders for the "Battle of the Bottom of the Barrel". One unit that has freefallen into the abyss of ignominy, in my books is the VW Tiguan. I definitely would run from that dog. Anything with a Stellantis flag on it like Chrysler, Jeep, Fiat...avoid or at least go with a lease (But don't go out of warranty on that lease...EVER!!!)
My company boss loves VW we have about ten on our fleet.I get to drive most of them ,they always seem to have a fault of some sort or another. I think most VAG are to be avoided.
A company like Toyota it's almost impossible to define one of their models as worst as they're all so good. On the other hand when talking Stellantis it's also almost impossible to define the worst as they're all complete garbage and at the bottom of the barrel.
"Most Subarus are known for burning oil" 17:05. Ca-ca - those days are gone. I have a 2 1/2 year old Outback XT - doesn't even use a third a quart of oil between changes at 6k, and my daughter-in-law's 2020 Forester has the same amount of oil usage, except she runs the hell out of her Forester, still thinks she's driving on the Autobahn (she's German).
Thanks but I have owned vehicles that don’t go through any observable oil between services, while others have a big consumption. Engine specific but that does sound like some useage.
And I have a 2019 Subaru ascent (the one you also hate) it’s been with me for over 5 years with 61,000 miles and I have NEVER add a quart of oil between oil changes. I value your videos but, I always find you writing negative things about Subarus vehicles. Whatever sir!
Yeah, Quality Assurance's Definitely Not Assured In Some Nissans. Chrysler Has Gone The Way Of The DoDo Bird As Far As Reliability's Concerned. Nice Lineup Review, Mark 💯. Have A Merry Xmas & Safe Holiday Season !! 🌲☃️🎉
Biggest mistake of my cat buying life was buying a jeep renegade. I couldn’t get rid of that bag of trash fast enough. Good riddance of that piece of crap. Jeep should be ashamed of themselves for even making it.
About sunroofs. I had a Subaru Outback Wagon with the huge sunroof on it. If it was out in the cold weather, that large piece of glass gets very cold, water condenses on the inside of the glass and drips off into the interior. Mold follows and the nice leather interior started a nice large mold colony on it. Wasn't rain leaking in, it was condensation as I wasn't driving it daily as it sucked gas and ate tires like no other car I have ever owned. It averaged 22 MPG and tires were gone in 20k miles. I have a VW now, that on its best days gets 40 plus MPG and no drippy leaky sun roof to deal with. I am sure this guy would hate my VW interior, no leather but the seats are heated and that fake leather the Subaru had doesn't peel off the backing. Have a nice day.
Jeep renegade! We have two of them a 2017 and a 2018 both over 75k miles and zero issues and both are giving us a good experience with the snow here in Washington state.
I’m here also at edmonton planning to buy a used vehicle so far my choices will be: 2007 4runner v8 $17,999 2011 nissan pathfinder $11,000 2013 audi q5 $12000 2013 durango sxt $13,000 2007 jeep grand cherokee srt8 $15000 And that CRV you showned to this video and is it safe to buy on a small dealer shop in our area?
Hi, good cars can be found anywhere however, be careful with accident and service history and where was it from? I would never buy an Eastern Canadian car so avoid Ontario our Quebec cars as they are often rotted under neath. Sometimes flood vehicles show up as Calgary went through some off that a few years ago and so always pull a Carafe and look at the history. Of these vehicles on your list, without knowing the details, generally speaking, would be 4Runner/CRV/Pathfinder in that order.
thanks, great vid! Wondering if Acura can be reviewed, perhaps its vehicle is the RDX? I know Honda was covered but wondering about its lux brand. thnx.
I'd go with worst Nissan being the Leaf because it is too far behind in the charging world. The worst Chevrolet is the Silverado because engine longevity is historically poor. Worst Toyota is Tundra because of poor build quality. Worst Ford? F150 Lightning? mainly because it's not going to do what you expect it to do.
was goin great til you cursed the pacifica. and looks are what drove you to point out the little things that ALL minivans have happening. to most, the pacifica is the best looking of any minivan. hell, the oddessy had ridiculous tranny issues, sliding door and window issues, control module fails, UNDERSIZED front brakes have always been a common complaint, through 2022.
That KIA soul looks like they took a truck bed and used it for the roof hahahaha! Great video as always you and your lady do a great job ,very entertaining.
........................... KIA HYUNDI (sp) and Genesis ALL KOREAN CRAP Just watch as Many are now coming back.....Korean crap is newish to consumer...Just Watch!.....................Buy ONLY "Made in JAPAN ONLY.... not made in USA or elsewhere MADE IN JAPAN are the VERY BEST Vehicles for RELIABILITY...& it is Not even close!
Why does Nissan still use these cvt when they know it's been giving them a bad reputation for 20 years. It's almost that they don't want to be successful
Well no duh the Chrysler Pacifica is the worst vehicle Chrysler makes. At the same time it is also the best that Chrysler makes. Why? Because as of Monday (12/11/23) Chrysler no longer makes anything besides just the Pacifica now. I can't think of any other car brand that makes just 1 single vehicle (well besides Bugatti).
Frankly Mark, I'm afraid to buy anything. My 17 year old Pontiac g6 coupe has never once stalled out. What do you think about an extremely low mileage 20 or 21 CHR?
The Hyundai you had a look and apart from everything wrong with it you mentioned peeling paint interesting because in Australia unfortunate people who never research them bought Hyundai's and the paint is peeling on there Hyundai's in big chunks you %100 correct on that you are lucky in Canada and the USA you don't get Chinese built vehicles they are worse than Hyundai's and Kias
Just a random point here but the sunroof has got to be the most overrated option on any car. I really don’t know anyone that uses it and if you do, the sun is hot af.
Don't buy a 2023 or 2024 Honda CRV too, they're terrible with a rattling noise non stop. The Hybrid's brake system barely works, you will regret buying one as nice as they might look. I have two 2023 models and one 2024, all trash.
@ECPP You are full of sh*t. Stay with your precious Beemers! The key to reliability is called maintenance! Got 2 Hondas (my 4th and 5th) : an '08 Accord with 270 000km - less than 1.5K in repairs in 16 years, and a 2018 Civic with the L15BA (150 000km) with no problems whatsoever. Plus, I live in Alliston ON, where almost 25% of vehicles are HondAcuras, and very, very few major problems reported with unmodified drivetrains.
The Ford Bronco is NOT a rebadged Escape. It is a true (body-on-frame) SUV that is based on the Ranger pickup, like the Explorer used to be. It may be a garbage vehicle but an Escape it ain't.
I drove most of those cars when i worked at dealership and must say, you are spot on Mark, especially with GM brands, they are horrible. You can even see the customers comments from GM dealerships, many complaints about brand new cars after owning them 6-12 months, unacceptable. Ppl don't do enough research, especially new comers to Canada they fall into the trap and then regret. I will never owe a GM car!
For a love of god. Don’t buy a Chevy Trailblazer with a 3 cylinder turbo 1.2 engine Only my favorite car is Chevy trailblazer with a 3.6 V6 they are fast and reliable and off capability and it’s so excellent vehicle. I serviced to myself and it’s so cheap. But this little tiny trailblazer especially with 1.2 or 1.3 three cylinders it’s totally worst idea just GM made
The GMC Terrain from 2012 to 2017 sucks. They burn oil and you have to eventually replace the rear main seal and the timing chain. I don’t know 🤷🏽♀️ how the newer models are but it’s clearly an issue. It’s the eco tech engine. I’m don’t understand how GMC gets away with this. I’m waiting on a class action suit to happen in my state. I see it happening in other states but not mine at the moment
Renault has ruined Nissan. GM never makes anything that is not problematic. Honda strayed from their formula if it works don’t change it. Hyundai/Kia are too sloppy and inconsistent. Will stick with Toyota, Lexus and possibly Mazda.
The 3rd generation CR-V shown in the video can last forever. I am still seeing plenty of the 2006-2012 CR-Vs (the third generation) on the road, some of them probably having over 200000 miles on them.
@@ECPP oil recall, never last over 3k Then says can’t do free recall until I pay dealership $1900 to fix a leak , then suspension went out & head gasket failed all in 60 days after fixing
The newer toyotas arent great.....ive always picked honda over Toyota...they have better looks, power, handling, ...and in general are as reliable as toyota...infact, hondas more reliable lately...yes, honda isnt perfect .but no company is. Hinda, mazda ,and old fords. Ive worked on cars for 20 years, and those are mine that have had well over 300k and ran good because i maintain them well..my last Honda had about 360k and ran exellent...my 6 spd civic SI has a little over 300k and runs exellent...my ex wife had an orange 09 5 spd hinda fit sport that had like 250k when she got something bigger...we both loved that car .exellent ,reliable car with a ton of cargo room...my friend has a 2010 6 spd standard mazda 3 with about 286k thats never had a major issue...my f150 has about 265k and runs fine...ect ect...these arent even our only high milage cars and trucks...toyota isnt the only reliable one....infact, now, theyre not nearly as reliable...
Not sure why you speak so poorly of vehicles without sunroofs. I don't prefer them and I'm Canadian lol. Well you spoke good about all bransa minus certain models you did speak specifically bad generally about jeep which I feel isn't completely true.

151k is nothing...my last Honda had about 360k when it was rear ended, my civic SI with the 6 spd standard tranny has a little over 300k and also runs excellent....Honda, Mazda and old Ford's are my faves. I've worked on cars for 20 years, and all my Hondas, Ford's and Mazdas have all gone well over 300k
The long wait list to buy a new Ford Bronco Sport (an undercover Ford Es-"Crap") is now a long wait list to schedule a repair service appointment.
For sure and the long wait for recall repairs is next
Many people like the Corolla for its economics and no need a sunroof is ok.
Great gas mileage and LE Camry has no sunroof either. Not necessary.
Excellent job. Some serious contenders for the "Battle of the Bottom of the Barrel".
One unit that has freefallen into the abyss of ignominy, in my books is the VW Tiguan. I definitely would run from that dog.
Anything with a Stellantis flag on it like Chrysler, Jeep, Fiat...avoid or at least go with a lease (But don't go out of warranty on that lease...EVER!!!)
My company boss loves VW we have about ten on our fleet.I get to drive most of them ,they always seem to have a fault of some sort or another. I think most VAG are to be avoided.
A company like Toyota it's almost impossible to define one of their models as worst as they're all so good. On the other hand when talking Stellantis it's also almost impossible to define the worst as they're all complete garbage and at the bottom of the barrel.
"Most Subarus are known for burning oil" 17:05. Ca-ca - those days are gone. I have a 2 1/2 year old Outback XT - doesn't even use a third a quart of oil between changes at 6k, and my daughter-in-law's 2020 Forester has the same amount of oil usage, except she runs the hell out of her Forester, still thinks she's driving on the Autobahn (she's German).
Thanks but I have owned vehicles that don’t go through any observable oil between services, while others have a big consumption. Engine specific but that does sound like some useage.
And I have a 2019 Subaru ascent (the one you also hate) it’s been with me for over 5 years with 61,000 miles and I have NEVER add a quart of oil between oil changes. I value your videos but, I always find you writing negative things about Subarus vehicles.
Whatever sir!
Dude you are talking about a 2.5 year old engine WTF????
@ericpizarro3084
Come on man a 2019 with 63k?
@@paulcoenen7918 61,000 miles not 63,000! What’s wrong with this?
Yeah, Quality Assurance's Definitely Not Assured In Some Nissans. Chrysler Has Gone The Way Of The DoDo Bird As Far As Reliability's Concerned. Nice Lineup Review, Mark 💯. Have A Merry Xmas & Safe Holiday Season !! 🌲☃️🎉
Thanks for the info! You also have a great holiday and a Merry Christmas.

Biggest mistake of my cat buying life was buying a jeep renegade. I couldn’t get rid of that bag of trash fast enough. Good riddance of that piece of crap. Jeep should be ashamed of themselves for even making it.
About sunroofs. I had a Subaru Outback Wagon with the huge sunroof on it. If it was out in the cold weather, that large piece of glass gets very cold, water condenses on the inside of the glass and drips off into the interior. Mold follows and the nice leather interior started a nice large mold colony on it. Wasn't rain leaking in, it was condensation as I wasn't driving it daily as it sucked gas and ate tires like no other car I have ever owned. It averaged 22 MPG and tires were gone in 20k miles. I have a VW now, that on its best days gets 40 plus MPG and no drippy leaky sun roof to deal with. I am sure this guy would hate my VW interior, no leather but the seats are heated and that fake leather the Subaru had doesn't peel off the backing. Have a nice day.
That does not sound like a win
Thanks for your honest opinion, most Subaru owners get very defensive with vehicle choice and don't tell the truth.
Jeep renegade! We have two of them a 2017 and a 2018 both over 75k miles and zero issues and both are giving us a good experience with the snow here in Washington state.
Great video
Thanks a lot for your efforts and nice presentation
We want part 2 for others car makers
Thank you very much
I’m here also at edmonton planning to buy a used vehicle so far my choices will be:
2007 4runner v8 $17,999
2011 nissan pathfinder $11,000
2013 audi q5 $12000
2013 durango sxt $13,000
2007 jeep grand cherokee srt8 $15000
And that CRV you showned to this video and is it safe to buy on a small dealer shop in our area?
Hi, good cars can be found anywhere however, be careful with accident and service history and where was it from? I would never buy an Eastern Canadian car so avoid Ontario our Quebec cars as they are often rotted under neath. Sometimes flood vehicles show up as Calgary went through some off that a few years ago and so always pull a Carafe and look at the history. Of these vehicles on your list, without knowing the details, generally speaking, would be 4Runner/CRV/Pathfinder in that order.
thanks, great vid! Wondering if Acura can be reviewed, perhaps its vehicle is the RDX? I know Honda was covered but wondering about its lux brand. thnx.
Coming soon!
Hello sir,what do u think of the 2007 bmw z4 3.0i? Thank u for your very informative videos!
I'd go with worst Nissan being the Leaf because it is too far behind in the charging world. The worst Chevrolet is the Silverado because engine longevity is historically poor. Worst Toyota is Tundra because of poor build quality. Worst Ford? F150 Lightning? mainly because it's not going to do what you expect it to do.
Thank you very much for the feedback
was goin great til you cursed the pacifica.
and looks are what drove you to point out the little things that ALL minivans have happening.
to most, the pacifica is the best looking of any minivan.
hell, the oddessy had ridiculous tranny issues, sliding door and window issues, control module fails, UNDERSIZED front brakes have always been a common complaint, through 2022.
Thanks for sharing. Still an awkward vehicle no etheless
The CRV Sport and Sport Touring comes with 2.0 naturally aspirated paired to a hybrid power train that generates 204 HP and 247 ft/lb of torque.
Crv I had a 98 Crv with 350,000 miles and 09 with 200,000 miles. They run great
Excellent video. Thanx Mark for your helpful knowledge. God bless.
The Renegade is made in Italy and I think it's a Fiat rather than a Jeep.
Because it is....
That KIA soul looks like they took a truck bed and used it for the roof hahahaha! Great video as always you and your lady do a great job ,very entertaining.
Thank you very much Dean. Haha, yes I love to say it like it is, as opposed to some who sugar coat these things. Hope you are having a great week
........................... KIA HYUNDI (sp) and Genesis ALL KOREAN CRAP Just watch as Many are now coming back.....Korean crap is newish to consumer...Just Watch!.....................Buy ONLY "Made in JAPAN ONLY.... not made in USA or elsewhere MADE IN JAPAN are the VERY BEST Vehicles for RELIABILITY...& it is Not even close!
How reliable are the Porsche Cayenne and Porsche Cayenne between 2015-2020 model years?
CVT - Continuously Volatile Transmission
True
@@ECPP Not on the newer Subarus.
Why does Nissan still use these cvt when they know it's been giving them a bad reputation for 20 years. It's almost that they don't want to be successful
Our VW Golf stalled at an intersection when we had it for 2 years. VW replaced entire electrical harness under warranty.
I don't touch Ford or JLR.
Well no duh the Chrysler Pacifica is the worst vehicle Chrysler makes. At the same time it is also the best that Chrysler makes. Why? Because as of Monday (12/11/23) Chrysler no longer makes anything besides just the Pacifica now. I can't think of any other car brand that makes just 1 single vehicle (well besides Bugatti).
And junk at that. The 200 and 300 are marginal vehicles as well
Is there any reason luxury cars or expensive cars are less reliable?
Unless it's Lexus.
Im confused as YOU JUST DID A VIDEO ON THE HONDA saying what a great suv. As we all know its not great at all so MAKE UP YOUR MIND.
German engineering yea the VW's are made in Mexico ! Maybe someday people will wake up and smell the coffee and realize the mistake they made.
Thanks
Frankly Mark, I'm afraid to buy anything. My 17 year old Pontiac g6 coupe has never once stalled out. What do you think about an extremely low mileage 20 or 21 CHR?
My supervisor had that hyundai new and every couple she had to change engines 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Yikes
Every couple what? Days, minutes, weeks???
The Altima is the modern day Chevy Beretta “the poor man’s Camaro” the folks in them try to race my Challenger all the time wishing they had a car.
They ruined trailblazer I rather have equinox
Thanks for watching
The Hyundai you had a look and apart from everything wrong with it you mentioned peeling paint interesting because in Australia unfortunate people who never research them bought Hyundai's and the paint is peeling on there Hyundai's in big chunks you %100 correct on that you are lucky in Canada and the USA you don't get Chinese built vehicles they are worse than Hyundai's and Kias
Thanks a lot Les, yes they are still not the best built from my experience and it surpirses me that people do t choose more wisely, IMHO
Though I preferred the SUV version from years ago I don't think the Pacifica looks bad it's just a garbage vehicle
Just a random point here but the sunroof has got to be the most overrated option on any car. I really don’t know anyone that uses it and if you do, the sun is hot af.
Altima I drove last horrible headlights bad dangerous handling fast cvt high Rev good mpg interior is ok dint cause any issues whole lease
Hi, plz make a video on daily driver SUVs. You doing good 👍
Yes indeed
I will never, ever buy one of these newer Chrysler Pacifica minivans, because they are junk.
CRV Hybrid is awesome. I hate the 1.5t also, hybrid k20 is efficient, fun, and very little points of failure.
Don't buy a 2023 or 2024 Honda CRV too, they're terrible with a rattling noise non stop. The Hybrid's brake system barely works, you will regret buying one as nice as they might look. I have two 2023 models and one 2024, all trash.
CR-V now stands for Continuously Rattling Vehicle.
This thumbnail has been haunting my dreams for 2 weeks 😂😂
Honda has transmission issue and the new CR-V use turbo on small engines
Honda reliability is going away
@ECPP You are full of sh*t. Stay with your precious Beemers! The key to reliability is called maintenance! Got 2 Hondas (my 4th and 5th) : an '08 Accord with 270 000km - less than 1.5K in repairs in 16 years, and a 2018 Civic with the L15BA (150 000km) with no problems whatsoever. Plus, I live in Alliston ON, where almost 25% of vehicles are HondAcuras, and very, very few major problems reported with unmodified drivetrains.
Waving a hand and an extra large Timmy double double across the river. Keep up the good work
How reliable are the Mercedes A class?
And the standard interior colors are gloomy gray or Boring Black from all automakers across the globe.
Cookie cutter interior colors
Agreed
The Ford Bronco is NOT a rebadged Escape. It is a true (body-on-frame) SUV that is based on the Ranger pickup, like the Explorer used to be. It may be a garbage vehicle but an Escape it ain't.
The Bronco Sport is, and it's built alongside the Escape, in Mexico. Two different vehicles.
I drove most of those cars when i worked at dealership and must say, you are spot on Mark, especially with GM brands, they are horrible. You can even see the customers comments from GM dealerships, many complaints about brand new cars after owning them 6-12 months, unacceptable. Ppl don't do enough research, especially new comers to Canada they fall into the trap and then regret. I will never owe a GM car!
Thanks Boris. Indeed a little research can go a long way.
For a love of god. Don’t buy a Chevy Trailblazer with a 3 cylinder turbo 1.2 engine
Only my favorite car is Chevy trailblazer with a 3.6 V6 they are fast and reliable and off capability and it’s so excellent vehicle. I serviced to myself and it’s so cheap.
But this little tiny trailblazer especially with 1.2 or 1.3 three cylinders it’s totally worst idea just GM made
Bronco = Dick Cheney with lipstick 😂
What are your views on Ford edge???
GM =general malfunctions
For the Mazda eyebrows, I think you meant Brezhnev. He was the one who had the bushy caterpillar eyebrows. Lol.
What about the GMC Terrain
well.....
The GMC Terrain from 2012 to 2017 sucks. They burn oil and you have to eventually replace the rear main seal and the timing chain. I don’t know 🤷🏽♀️ how the newer models are but it’s clearly an issue. It’s the eco tech engine. I’m don’t understand how GMC gets away with this. I’m waiting on a class action suit to happen in my state. I see it happening in other states but not mine at the moment
The worst car by Toyota is clearly the BZ4X, not the Corolla.
By which measure? The Corolla lacks innovation so that’s one to the BZ
The Corolla is the best most reliable car ever made to get from point A to point B. I wouldn't say it's bottom of the barrel either.
It's an electric vehicle like the (cough cough) Tesla.
Thank you Mark. I recommend your channel and actually quote your reviews whenever I sell a vehicle. Cheers from Royal Palms Florida 🇺🇸
Cheers Juan. I appreciate the support and it’s great to hear. Hope you are keeping well and having a great week.
@@ECPP Thank you, you too!
Renault has ruined Nissan. GM never makes anything that is not problematic. Honda strayed from their formula if it works don’t change it. Hyundai/Kia are too sloppy and inconsistent. Will stick with Toyota, Lexus and possibly Mazda.
I agree with Chevy all American car no good smh smh
True
The Jeep Renegade is a Fiat 500X with a different body
More or less
CR-V bottom of the barrel? Seriously?
The 3rd generation CR-V shown in the video can last forever. I am still seeing plenty of the 2006-2012 CR-Vs (the third generation) on the road, some of them probably having over 200000 miles on them.
What years don't you like?
I'm actually trying to figure out what years to buy and not buy.😊
Please make a video about Ford Edge
When you are the worst car that Chrysler makes, THAT is a badge of honor.
Haha 100 percent
hahahahaahahahah soooooooo true
My 2018 Jeep Renegade went to 110,000 miles & after everything failed
Boom
@@ECPP oil recall, never last over 3k
Then says can’t do free recall until I pay dealership $1900 to fix a leak , then suspension went out & head gasket failed all in 60 days after fixing
problem with Jeep the littler ones most sold are FWD not 4WD Who Buys a 2WD Jeep if you're going to buy one buy a 4WD
Agreed
The gap on the side is part of the design
Of the car
Great look
You ignored all the Toyotas that legitimately have problems and focused on the Corolla… the bz4x, crown, and Corolla cross have more issues
The newer toyotas arent great.....ive always picked honda over Toyota...they have better looks, power, handling, ...and in general are as reliable as toyota...infact, hondas more reliable lately...yes, honda isnt perfect .but no company is. Hinda, mazda ,and old fords. Ive worked on cars for 20 years, and those are mine that have had well over 300k and ran good because i maintain them well..my last Honda had about 360k and ran exellent...my 6 spd civic SI has a little over 300k and runs exellent...my ex wife had an orange 09 5 spd hinda fit sport that had like 250k when she got something bigger...we both loved that car .exellent ,reliable car with a ton of cargo room...my friend has a 2010 6 spd standard mazda 3 with about 286k thats never had a major issue...my f150 has about 265k and runs fine...ect ect...these arent even our only high milage cars and trucks...toyota isnt the only reliable one....infact, now, theyre not nearly as reliable...
CONGRATULATIONS you be a big boy..... zero only like , grow and grow
Indeed
@@ECPP yessssssss
I own a Broco sports have no problems at 59000 miles!
Nissan has been owned by Renault since the early 2000s.
Disagree the Crv rocks
Passport is best Honda vehicle
Nicer than Bigger rides for sure.
Iam looking at the madza 3 2.5. Non turbo
Or. The civic Lx. Or sport. 2.0
Why are you using a 13+ year old CRV?
After watching through Hyundai, I have to question your credentials. 😂
What part do you disagree with?
Did you review the KIA Stinger probably best KIA ever built in my opinion.
Not yet
Gorbachev style!!...Im rollin on the floor hahahaha.
Haha, thanks
I liked the comment and Gorbachev lived up to the age of 91.
Ford. Fix or repair daily.
Honda odyssey is honda most unreliable car
I feel like he named every car
Not really
The rubbers are not consistent. TWSS
Haha indeed
I never liked Kia 👎👎😕
They are trash
I love my VW Taos
Is there a vehicle you have not mentioned on worst vehicle?😊
Many…..
Gorbachev style lol :)
Haha. Cheers
Not sure why you speak so poorly of vehicles without sunroofs. I don't prefer them and I'm Canadian lol. Well you spoke good about all bransa minus certain models you did speak specifically bad generally about jeep which I feel isn't completely true.
The opinions on this channel seem to be mostly about social status and being told to have a $1000 or more car payment or people won't like you.
