I’ve had a used Audi S5 that I daily drive for the last 5 years (3.0 Supercharged engine same as S4) with well over 100k miles and have never had a single issue, just regular oil and trans fluid changes. Big vouch. Super fun and luxurious as well as reliable.

Im surprised you’re saying this about the M4. If you’re not talking BS, then you’re amongst the lucky few who never had a headaches with M4. I was an M4 owner, it’s most exciting sedan I ever had. But I had endless headaches with it. It was a money pit, there’s neverending issues. I bought it second hand past warranty but still considered reasonably new, looks good and drives great at first. No issues for like 5 months. Thereafter the headaches started and they keep coming. I have to go the bmw dealership for repairs as it’s hard to sell it at competitive prices without that BMW dealership stamp. And the repairs are really expensive. Glad I was able to sell it.

I drive a 2003 Mercury Grand Marquis , 180.000 miles and still drives nice. I got it for free, gifted. I have it 11 years.

[@christopherlowery855]

I can personally vouch for the MDX. Specifically, the 2nd gen (2007-2013) with the 3.7L J37A1 SOHC v6 engine and SH-AWD system. We bought it with 118k mi and now have 195k mi on the odo. The timing belt was replaced at around 130k mi, along with both front CV axles and an oil leak was addressed. Since then, I've just replaced brakes, the starter, and an electric door module. This car still has the original COPs and spark plugs. It still runs like a champ and can really get up to speed without issue. The 3.7L v6 is a very good powerplant for a vehicle this size. The trans fluid change is similar to an engine oil change. It's literally just a drain and fill procedure taking 30min at most. Just use genuine Honda automatic trans fluid and you'll be fine. The A/C went out at around 175k mi, but I was able to repair that relatively easily. The SH-AWD system is very offroad capable. It's no rock crawler, but it can navigate most trails. Just don't try to cross a mud bog, or expect Jeep level suspension travel. But it defeats the diagonal slip test. I haven't had any issues with the AWD system. This vehicle is awesome in the snow. Overall, I work on this vehicle less than any of the others I have. It's also our only family vehicle. Highly recommended for those who still do their own auto maintenance and want a dependable luxury SUV platform that can also trail on occasion. As far as the video is concerned. I have heard very good things about the B58 engine. It is an I6, which would be easy to work on theoretically. It can make big power that's for sure. I'm more concerned about the rest of the vehicle though. This is a BMW afterall. The RX350 is very reliable. Perhaps the most reliable on this list. Same with the Cayenne. At least 1st gen with NA 4.5l and 4.8L V8 models. Not sure about the V6 and TT models. I don't understand this distain for timing belts. I've had them on all my cars. I've changed them on all my cars. They're relatively easy to get to, in Hondas, you'll change them when you change your water pump. On my Nissan hardbody, I changed the timing belt with the change of my water pump. With 115k mi and 29yrs, the belt didn't even look like it needed to be replaced. IMO, a belt beats a long chain. No plastic tensioners that disintegrate over time. No chain stretch that distorts timing. Or sprocket wear from oil starvation. I've only had one belt snap and I had it coming. I had a non-interference engine so I didn't even care. I replaced it in 2hrs. These belts are behind timing covers. No RTV, no oil, no chain guides. No double or triple chain combos. Just one belt. Give me a belt-timed Honda over a chain-timed Audi any day of the week. It's a 75k-100k mi change that takes 2hrs on average. 3-4 if the water pump is also changed. Unless you're running an OHV pushrod engine, a belt just makes better sense. I prefer a timing belt, but maybe I'm the only one. Anyway, great video. It's a well compiled list. Thanks for listening. Cheers.

Turbos that fail, fuel injectors that fail, cheap bio-degradable plastic parts that crack after 5 years, bio-degradable wiring that rots after 10 years........Gimmie a break dude. 3. In dash electronics, body hardware, electrical, fuel system, leaks, climate systems, steering racks, NONE of these can be "maintained". They either work or do not. After warranty is gone on a German car, THEY DO NOT. 3. Aside from fluid or filter changes, there is no maintenance needed on cars today for the first 60,000 miles.

Fun fact the timing chain came before the timing belt not the other way around.

An MDX for daily and utility with a 911 or post 2017 M4 for weekend or dinner out will be the dream life for many.

To the blue 340xi cruising on 225n today. I was in the white sq5. Just wanted to tell you I love your car and I want one.

[@maxsturdevant2762]

FYI: I had to replace my turbo at 60,000 with the b58 engine. It was a 5k repair

[@gahaha8565]

Hyundai Genesis 2015-16 or Genesis G80, G90 with the 5.0, these are super reliable. Not the fastest with only 420hp, however it is quicker than most cars on the road and really picks up on the freeway. I am at 116k miles on mine, zero issues, just regular oil changes and then fluid changes at recommended intervals. Interior is like the day I bought it, everything holding up even the electronics after almost 10 yrs now.

[@PipenFalzy]

Hyundai and reliability... Nope..

[@gahaha8565]

@@PipenFalzy The new ones I agree, but the 3.8 V6 and 5.0 V8 in the older ones are bulletproof, along with the rest of the car. I spend around $200 on oil changes annually and that's it, 10 yrs old now, zero issues. Also helps that its a 420hp car and can really move.

[@csrajuse]

Have a 2010 X5D, other than the whole def crap, it has been rock-solid. 200k miles and we are planning another cross-country drive. However, I should mention I do the maintenance myself and I am very particular what I put in her. Oil is like our blood for us. I tend to change oil sooner than recommended. Change wear items sooner than required and rebuilt the suspension. It has been so far very reliable.

[@robertmaxwellkim6799]

Interesting video. Good job.

[@TheChismillionaire]

Probably an unpopular opinion but any W12 Bentley has turned out to be incredibly reliable. The interiors hold up incredibly well too.

I went with the X3 M40i just because of the interior, space for my son, and the B58.

[@niko5514]

To include Porsche for longevity is crazy. For the cost of service in 10 years you can basically buy a solid used car as a new one for yourself.

[@drsanmyattun]

2011 bmw 528i , N52 engine in it . most simple and reliable BMW.

[@Ter0091]

I have 1997 Lexus LX 450 with 400k miles and 2013 Porsche Cayenne Turbo with 200k miles. Both super reliable. I always follow manufacturer recommended maintenance. Recently bought 2022 Toyota rav4 hybrid as daily driver and 2023 Porsche 911 turbo s for fun. Only buy reliable car :)

[@esteban1487]

I've always liked the E Class.

[@zo.v1601]

Just a few things to add from a VAG mechanic... The 3.0 supercharged from 2010 to 2015 is epic. So smooth, reasonably reliable and you can get over 400hp with a tune. Instead of a Cayenne, a fully loaded Touareg 3.6 will save you so much more money in maintenance, and essentially the same vehicle. Nobody will respect you having a V6 Cayenne anyway haha

[@PetriA83]

Timestamps would be nice addition

[@mrhmd8308]

Wow this was a great review. How would you rank the Audi S4 vs. Mercedes W212 vs BMW 440i w/ that B58 engine?

[@Matness23]

Great video, solid cars. Lines up with what you hear most enthusiast recommend. We own a 2020 RX350 family of 3 with one on the way, car is a lifer for sure.

[@Hyperborean_2]

Porsche Cayenne or Panamera are huge bargains. The only minus is the air suspension that's quite expensive to fix if broken.

[@corbandaniels2368]

I believe you might be wrong about the s5 v8. All of the issues with the 4.2 are from the older engines in the s4 and rs4. They fixed pretty much everything except carbon buildup in the s5.

22’ IS500 V8 daily - 30k miles, perfect daily, reliable, and confusing to almost everyone 😅 20’ 992 911S is the track toy, maintenance is costly - but boy, gets shit beat out of it on track and keeps on ticking. 2014 GS350F daughters car, 105K trouble free miles. Before that, was a 2007 IS350 with 130K trouble free miles. The 3.5 Lexus is solid.

The 92A Cayenne with the VR6 has issues with the oil separator. It’s built into the valve cover and will cause a vacuum lean that causes a CEL lean fault. It’s 7.5hrs @ $250per/hr ish.
