I just purchased a 2020 Honda CR-V and I do not regret it at all. It was between Toyota Rav 4 and the Honda, the Toyota was much smaller inside and didn’t have the tech included at a reasonable price. The interior looks outdated and Honda is still a very reliable brand at a reasonable price. I would buy my Honda again.
Until you get to experience the oil dilution problem and the battery dying every other day. I almost bought one but decided against it because they have too many problems. Got a Mazda CX5 instead. Best decision made.
I loved my 2000 Forester but like what my friend said after 6 years , it will start to fall apart. I drove mine up to 140,000 plus miles with leaking gas pumps etc. Finally donated it in 2017 since it was one problem after another.
I'm single and my 2019 Nissan Rogue Special Edition AWD has all the space I need and the power is good wasn't looking for a race car so I haven't had any problem with it........ Very happy with my choice. These SUV's shown here, in my opinion, are bigger so they are more for families.

We also just got the Cross Sport in, and the Drivers Only video should be dropping very soon. Remember to ask for Josh!
Hope you read the review where Tiguan is rated in the top 5 of SUVs only stupid people buy they break down frequently and are costly to fix per the report
Bought a 2020 Rav4 last week, I am still getting used to the power.. I've moved from a 1.6 L car to a 2.0 L Mid-spec SUV.. Mine came from Japan ( I'm from the Caribbean ) and I don't have the engine noise issue. I chose it above a Tiguan, and TDI Turbo 1.4 L is too underpowered, VWs have no resale value and I hear they begin to give trouble by year #3... I had a transmission breakdown with a Nissan, I'd prefer to not break down ever again.
You are very lucky to have the J made one. In Canada we get only Ontario made one and I need to drive one for 2020 to see if they fixed the noise issue.
Had 2 2017 Subarus, no repairs on either one so far, trading in Impress for a Forrester today, mostly for a size upgrade. Love my Subarus overall so far.
The BEST compact SUV now a days that caught my attention and fits my driving style is the CX-5 and the new Tiguan. Whenever I see these two cars I kind of looking at it every time I see it in the street or driven by someone specially the Soul Red Crystal Mazda. The rest doesn't bother me at all it looks ordenary to me.👌👌👌🏎🏎🏎
If you never had it, likely won't miss it. But I had Captain chair armrest for my old van as well as my old Tahoe. It was nice.... Should be an option.
Bought CX-5 when it first came out (2012?) and only had 1 minor problem (false tire pressure warning) that bugged me. Sold it recently at 80k miles for $6500.
I own the hybrid forester model at the moment, I love it especially for snow days, deep snow driving and sundays offroading! I guess the 150hp+17hp hybrid version is a little cooler than the 182hp american one to be honest! It's a little heavier in europe due to its hybridation, but when driving in town, the hybrid 0-40kmh start is actually pretty cool even though I use to be a 100% petrolhead! Hybridation is very small on that SUV though. It's incredible to drive on snow or offroad anyway! I use to do offroading with real 4wd, and I can do most of the stuff I use to do with that forester, and that is impressive from a family AWD! The CVT is way better than what I thought it would be first. I was one skeptical CVT hater, but finally it's not that bad although I'd prefer to have a manual (I know it's not really possible with hybridation though).
I purchased a new Outback in 2017, had RAB and many electrical problems from the start. After only a couple of months I had the car in the deanship for repairs. The dealer only deleted the PC history, did nothing to fix the problem, and does not supply the needed paperwork to prove I was there. This practice is still going on today. The service tech brags, "as long as I work here, no one will ever qualify for Lemon Law protection " Problems got MUCH worse. In for repair 10 + times, towed in 4 times. After contacting Subaru customers support, they said because the dealer refused to supply paperwork for your visits, they refused to refund my money for the Lemon they sold me. Car was traded in, because it would not work, still under warranty, still not fixed because they didn't know how to fix it. Lost well over $14,000 because Subaru does not stand behind their cars, or the customer.
I bought my wife a 2012 Toyota Rav4 and know my daughter is the new owner. Last month l replace my wife with a Toyota 2020 Rav4 Premium and we love than both. Out standing vehicles.
@@DriversOnly thx, keep up the great reviews, I ended up buying a 2020 hyundai santa fe limited 2.0t awd quartz white with the black interior, not sure if you have a review on this one but WOW, talk about almost everything you want in a vehicle, this is the one to review! thx
@@charliew7516 If you take corners fast, don't love straight lines, love snow and off-roading on sundays go for the forester. For all the rest go for the RAV I guess. I'm an hybrid forester owner (europe model), tested the hybrid rav twice though and this is the opinion I got from it :)
@@sashellpottorff459 I honestly don't know about new ones. CVT in general has a reputation of not living as long as conventional transmissions. Once one of these CVTs goes out, they are ridiculously expensive to replace (in some cases over 6k). The driving dynamic is also totally different. The small size SUV I have has a good engine in it, but the CVT makes it feel underpowered because the engine runs at different rpm than the normal driver is use to.
Subaru Forester , then Honda Crv , Then the Toyota Rav 4. ....In that order. If I want to hold on to a vehicle for 10+ years then It's gotta be a Toyota then Honda.
I would never touch the following: Subaru - CVT and engine burns oil; CRV-CVT and engine issues with oil dilution (cold climates); Nissan-CVT and other reliability issues; VW- nuff said (unreliable); Jeep-same as VW; Hyundai & Kia- while good value for money just a lot of plasticky cheap materials inside and still having engine issues long-term; likely a RAV4 with the 8-spd tranny and Mazda-skyactiv engine and tranny are the only ones I will touch.
tekz I'd avoid the 8 SPD rav4's , lots of people have been complaining about transmission issues that also plague the new Camry as well (Primarily hesitation and rough shifting). Until Toyota addresses these issues the hybrid is the way to go. The Hybrid has an eCVT which differs from a standard CVT like the CR-V. The belt and pulleys are replaced with planetary gears and electronic motors so it should do better long term the gasoline models. It's a bit more expensive but worth the extra money
The truth, months ago I decided on a Mazda which I’m pleased with due to the conventional 6-speed tranny it has and not the dreaded CVT or eCVT or iVT that Kia claims....
All those C SUV s are best ? I hoped for a conclusion in the end of this video ... you just tell some characteristics (very few) of each other without any conclusion
See the Carsthatlast series on UA-cam for which older vehicles hold up for resale, instead of going to a junkyard for parts. Consumer Reports magazine at a library every April goes back 8 years for reliability.
Narrowing my choice down to the RAV4. I like the CRV but not a fan of low displacement engines with turbo and CVTs. So glad Toyota stuck with a standard 8-speed automatic transmission. Should last quite awhile.
I am 6’1” and have chronic back issues. Out of the four you reviewed, what would your recommendation be for those both tall and back issues for comfort?
Hi. My wife and I both have Mazda’s. She has the cx5. I have the Mazda 3. Both are very comfortable for me and I’m 6 ft. For back problems I’d look for lumber controls and heated seats. Mazda does offer these options. Not sure about others. But when I have a bad back day, I can work in physical therapy, I use that heated seat and it actually reaches my lumbar area. Some heated seats may not heat above the actual buttocks area. Just check out different cars in your area. Hopefully you’ll find something comfortable for you.
Dear Subaru, Multi-year Crosstrek buyer here, 2013,2015, currently in a 2018. You can no longer live on AWD, Eyesight, and dog commercials. The competition is passing you. I’m moving on in 2021 if I can’t get; Heated Steering Wheel Heads Up Display Wireless Charging Wireless Carplay 360 Surround View Camera Kia, Hyundai, Mazda, even fricking Chevrolet with the 2021 Trailblazer are leaving you in the past. Also, offer some different wheel options, jeez. Sincerely, About to lose a customer.
NoPreset SnarkLimit I agree with you. Subaru lacks behind the competition as far as tech and value. AWD is great, but the competition offers so much more. One thing I love about subaru is that they're very safe vehicles.
I am considering the Mazda CX-5 for my next car. Not a fan of Toyota, so that's out. Honda CR-V seems like a car everyone has, I would never find my car in a mall parking lot, lol.
Besides the commonality, the Honda CR-V is having FREQUENT oil dilution issues with the 1.5 liter turbo engine. Aside from the large cargo space, I would not go with the CR-V (at least with the 1.5 which is standard above a certain trim level) for that reason. This issue has brought Honda from #4 to #12 in terms of reliability on Consumer Reports’ rankings.
I have a 2019 CX5... it blows all those cars away. It's luxurious and drives like a sedan. Awesome vehicle. My daughter has the 2019 RAV 4 but she loves the CX5 more. The Mazda feels and looks luxurious inside and it's quiet. The RAV 4 looks plain inside and the engine growls. Just because it sells more doesn't mean it's better. Having said that, I think Toyota will eventually buy Mazda... it can't survive much longer on its own in this type of competitive market environment.
Looking around for a new car. I'd really like an SUV, but I want something that is reliable, worth my money, and roomy. I don't care about the specs so long as I have a Bluetooth radio and nice brakes. If you have any car suggestions similar to my demands let me know. Looking to spend between $19-22k.
Try to find a Kia Sportage FWD LX might be able to get one on sale for close to that price. The reason I mention it is because they put noticeably large, ventilated discs and oversized calipers on the front wheels.
The Tiguan looks absolutely tearable in any trim below the $50k R line. It pisses me off when companies make the lower trim levels look tearable to sell the higher trims.
Help I need to buy an suv for my birthday coming up soon but don’t want to spend a lot . I don’t mind buying used (from 2018 and up) so will appreciate any advice, thanks in advance
susan ochonogor for something cheap and fuel efficient, I recommend forester, even the lowest trim level has apple carplay and Android auto, plus some safety features, plus you get all wheel drive standard, if you don’t need all wheel drive, you can buy rav4 LE.
I'm planning to purchase a new SUV later this year, but I'm really having a hard time picking between a 2020 Subaru Forester, a 2020 Toyota RAV4, or a 2020 Ford Escape.
Something about his voice was bothering me but I found the solution! Just increase speed in youtube to 1.25x speed and the voice gets better/more smooth flowing - love video speed control in youtube :) Total side note but if you ever get annoyed by the long drawl of southerners in youtube videos - bump up speed to 1.25 or even 1.5 and it will sound totally normal to us 'northerners'
The 2019-2020 style Santa Fe is not a compact SUV, it's a mid-sized that gets compared with the compacts because it is the value champ in it's mid-sized class and is priced the same as the compacts. The Tucson would be the compact.
I'm surprised how much these guys like the look of the VW Tiguan. I like the interior, but the exterior is not that great - def not the best in this class.
That was just an awful review. Totally inconsistent with every other review I’ve seen. Some consistent reviews state the following: VW the slowest/ least reliable, Forester the noisiest and clumsy handling. RAV4 the loudest/Meh and the CRV large but like a toaster on wheels/boring. All the CVT in this group are loud and obnoxious.
Agree, CRV with its basic boring seats and front . I tried ordering the highest level of CRV package but it was still boring , cheap looking , virtually non existent good options available .
Everything is amazing and great? Come on man, give some criticism and provide some critical thinking. This feels like an ad for all models. Sleepy as hell
Guess you missed the part at the end where I said you should watch the full review videos to see the faults. This is a best of video which is why I only mentioned the good.
Was there no critical judgement on any of these? I mean I should just pull a car name out of a hat according to these "reviews"?? Should we call it that??
What a waste of time. Review the cars not sell them. I can get the highlights on dealership website. You don't compare or contrast don't discuss a single Con or trade-off to even 1 vehicle. Don't call these reviews

How is the acceleration in the CRV?
Ranked near the bottom and rightly so today. Sorry to be a paying Honda beta tester.

Just look at that forester..its soo beautiful..its soo classy and very comfy too..forester for life
So freaking slow... Time to move on from SUBARU like I DID...

Toyota Rav 4 is pretty good, long lasting and fuel efficient. Good cargo capacity and handles well.

Reliability is not so great.

Try a X3 or Q5 😅
Telluride
@@Nineleee I left out the luxury suvs
You didn’t give any financial comparison, which one is going to cost you more? 5 -10 years TCO
I had a 2015 Honda CRV and it had a terminal vibration. It was awful plus a gas hog. Glad they’ve improved
Make a video about the best 3 row suv with best features for the buck!!!
VW Tiguan is my favorite
The Tiguan looks absolutely tearable in any trim below the $50k R line. It pisses me off when companies make the lower trim levels look tearable to sell the higher trims.
Toyota RAV4 the best selling from this segment.
Help I need to buy an suv for my birthday coming up soon but don’t want to spend a lot . I don’t mind buying used (from 2018 and up) so will appreciate any advice, thanks in advance
susan ochonogor for something cheap and fuel efficient, I recommend forester, even the lowest trim level has apple carplay and Android auto, plus some safety features, plus you get all wheel drive standard, if you don’t need all wheel drive, you can buy rav4 LE.
Dark Wind Ruler thank u
Which one is the quietest at the highway speeds?
Close between tiguan and forester
Dear Genie my wish is to have the Rav 4 or Tiguan for my 40th, ship to the Caribbean. Thank you.
So do youtube reviewers slow down their own videos to get more money? I constantly have to speed up the videos to 1.5x
I'm planning to purchase a new SUV later this year, but I'm really having a hard time picking between a 2020 Subaru Forester, a 2020 Toyota RAV4, or a 2020 Ford Escape.
The Jayverse if you need all wheel drive, get forester, if you don’t need all wheel drive, get rav4. Forget about escape.
Never never never never never never never never never buy a Ford
Something about his voice was bothering me but I found the solution! Just increase speed in youtube to 1.25x speed and the voice gets better/more smooth flowing - love video speed control in youtube :) Total side note but if you ever get annoyed by the long drawl of southerners in youtube videos - bump up speed to 1.25 or even 1.5 and it will sound totally normal to us 'northerners'
How about Hyundai SantaFe 2020?
The 2019-2020 style Santa Fe is not a compact SUV, it's a mid-sized that gets compared with the compacts because it is the value champ in it's mid-sized class and is priced the same as the compacts.
The Tucson would be the compact.
Mazda CX 5 is the winner. Great all around 👏 👍
Has Honda ever fixed that oil dilution issue? Has me shying away from it
Good comparisons.
Where tf is the Kona on your list?
It's not compact suv, it is subcompact suv
Toyota RAV4 💪❤️
Yup
Should mention fuel consumption
I do in the full videos but may do that in the future videos
Agreed
Toyota RAV 4 looks like from a STAR TRECK movie. Not easy on eyes.
I like the jeep compass.
It will break down by the time you drive out of the dealership
Hate the stop and go engine
No Hyundai Kona?
No because it is sub-compact suv
No kia sportage?
Will get to it in the new year
For the best cheap suv, sportage is the best. Compare to the price of VW and toyota? Big difference..
Ok car price wisely. Kia Sportage. Safety features. Keep up Kia. Upgrade more. Design not bad at all.
I'm surprised how much these guys like the look of the VW Tiguan. I like the interior, but the exterior is not that great - def not the best in this class.
Did anyone else see the car coming off the exit onto the ongoing traffic and dude didn’t get over. That’s what causes accidents.
That was just an awful review. Totally inconsistent with every other review I’ve seen. Some consistent reviews state the following: VW the slowest/ least reliable, Forester the noisiest and clumsy handling. RAV4 the loudest/Meh and the CRV large but like a toaster on wheels/boring. All the CVT in this group are loud and obnoxious.
Agree, CRV with its basic boring seats and front . I tried ordering the highest level of CRV package but it was still boring , cheap looking , virtually non existent good options available .
I'm george we all are george. That voice is so unique 😍
Everything is amazing and great? Come on man, give some criticism and provide some critical thinking. This feels like an ad for all models. Sleepy as hell
Guess you missed the part at the end where I said you should watch the full review videos to see the faults. This is a best of video which is why I only mentioned the good.
Yep the full review videos tell you all the good and bad. This vid is just a summary.
Isn't the Subaru forester's radiator is on the top of the engine ? I think they call it boxers engine or something ? Just asking though .
There's a reason the rogue is the best selling suv and you give it an honorable mention??
Nissan is absolute garbage trash
@@chicoandthem4n so are you!
The one I like least is the Rav4
CRV is the best. I just got one, absolutely love it ❤️
9:04 Sees 69-69. Inner kid “Nice”
So tell us your best pick
Toyota RAV4
Did I read the dash on that tiguan correctly? 5.7 mpg?! that's pretty bad if that's correct.
sounds to me like you got a kick back from all
Panoramic bird poop shield
😂😂
honda crv the best out of all of them
Was there no critical judgement on any of these? I mean I should just pull a car name out of a hat according to these "reviews"?? Should we call it that??
These are highlights. I have full review videos of each one for your viewing pleasure.
Isn't the Tiguan VW really a dodge vehicle? sure looks like it! Actually FIAT...
Where is the Santa Fe and Tucson? These are one of the best compact SUV! WTF?!?! Stay away from overpriced Japanese brands for sure!
Where's Ford, Chevrolet and Buick?
What a waste of time. Review the cars not sell them. I can get the highlights on dealership website. You don't compare or contrast don't discuss a single Con or trade-off to even 1 vehicle. Don't call these reviews
