So if BMWs with that engine (which is most of their general lineup) have reliability issues, that means that in theory, the Supra would have the same reliability issues…and we all know Toyota isn’t gonna have that.

      I has a Protege, a 3, a 626, a 929, and a Miata. Not in that order. The Protege kept catching fire, and was eventually replaced several times by the dealer. The 626 and 929 went through several engines and transmissions, and were eventually replaced by the dealer. The 3 never made it out of the lot. Obviously no quality control. The Miata was replaced after a lawsuit. I sold the replacement ASAP, before it failed.
      My sister had problems with Mazdas also. Something in the top of the engine kept going. She eventually towed the piece of junk to the scrap yard.
      Mazda, reliable? No.
      Toyota is the manufacturer I most often see broken down on the side of the road. There's reliability.
      Actually, other than BMW, there are a lot of these vehicles on the side of the road. I rarely see a BMW, VW, or Audi on the side of the road. Land Rovers and Range Rovers are mostly broken down in driveways. Maybe parking is bad for them. From personal experience, they have electrical issues, much like Jaguar and McLaren.
      Honda seems to have a lot of manufacturing and assembly defects. The weather seals leak--often due to having the seams in the wrong locations. Honda is stuffed into the body, leaving almost no space to work on it, which makes repairs very pricey, and there are regularly small issues. If you lower the standards to Honda level, maybe you don't mind all the quality compromises and issue.

    With that in mind, BMW would be at or near the bottom. Most wise used car buyers run from BMW, Audi, M-B, Jaguar... Why? 1. Poor long term reliability. 2. Cost of parts are insane. 3. Cost of qualified shop labor is also insane.

      Well, 5k miles or 12 months with synthetic oil, whichever comes first is fine for most uses. however, if you have a lot stop and go traffic and/or colder climate, you can do it more often. I would look at the color of the oil after you change it and as you continue using it. It should be clean and clear (if there are no additives) after the oil change. As it starts to get darker and non-transparent, then you know it is time to change it ever if it is before the scheduled maintenance.

    All car makers have had issues with certain years and models. E.g., VCM on the Honda V6 engines (2009 and later Honda Pilots, 2014 and later Acuras), 1.5L turbo engines in the 2016-2017 Honda Civic/Honda CRV (oil dilution), Toyota 2007-2011 engines that had bad piston rings and started burning oil if not properly cared for. CR is overall a good starting point though.

I feel like they built such an amazing reputation that no one will look at how poorly they are make particular models. Toyota is not worthy of such high praise despite I own 2, neither does Honda, for that matter! I own 2 of them as well. So far the Hondas are doing better the Toyotas make me cringe in disgust!

    Hi Shari, great video and I love the fact you said you talk to local mechanics instead of just relying on Consumer Reports. Personally, I have seen CR have rated reliability incorrectly in the past. Also, I am surprised Honda made the list and not surprised that Acura, Nissan and Infiniti did not make the list. I would like to see GM hitting this list in future especially when they keep making amazing high end SUVs and the New Corvette.

    After I sold my 11 RAV4 4WD Limited and bought my Forester Touring my insurance Premium DROPPED by almost $300 a year.
    I asked my insurance agent why it dropped and she told me that the Subaru Outback and Forester’s had earned the IIHS Safety PLUS award and they were the safest vehicle on the road.
    Yes I miss the 269hp 3.5 V6 from my RAV4, but I LOVE the mpg in my Forester.

    My 1979 BMW 320i (picked up new directly from the BMW factory in Munich) was very reliable BUT that was before the increased use of plastics, computers, and relatively untried and/or over-engineered technologies. It had a manual 4 speed transmission and even had a distributor with breaker points etc. It made a joke of the road-holding and performance of cars produced here in North America at that time, and was thoroughly enjoyable to drive. I thoroughly concur with you that BMW cars are NOT reliable these days - especially over the long term.
    As a side note, I have kept my MB 300SDL as a "summer toy", but would never consider buying anything other than Toyota or Lexus. (Providing they get their act together re. development of decent EV's [with Tesla efficiency but Toyota/Lexus quality and longevity] in the coming years.

    The type of people that subscribe to Consumer Reports and fill out surveys likely only keep a vehicle for 100 thousand miles then trade it in, so fewer are writing about reliability at 200 to 300 thousand miles. Especially if they overpay for a BMW. Mechanics say they have a lot of problems as they get older. Look at what taxi companies buy, although they are more about short trips so often choose a hybrid for better gas mileage, and helping to pay for any big battery and generator problems later.
