Toyota, Honda, Mazda. Goes without saying. But someone will come along with their anecdotal, personal tale about their wonderful, long lasting BMW, Mercedes or GM product. After owning BMW (3 and 4 series), a Mercedes E320, all purchased new, these cars are an albatross after 60K miles. Sure, great when new. After warranty dump and run from anything made in or near the Rhineland.

[@Jasona1976]

I now own a Lexus ES 350 and love it.

[@checoPH]

TOYOTA AND HONDA MAKE THE BEST CARS. I have had HONDA CIVIC, TOYOTA COROLLA, TOYOTA CAMRY, HONDA ACCORD, HONDA PILOT AND NOW I OWN A 2018 TOYOTA HIGHLANDER AND IS THE BEST; IN 5 YEARS THAT HAVE HAD IT, IT HAS NOT GIVEN ME ANY PROBLEM. I JUST DO THE REGULAR MAINTENANCE.

[@ECPP]

For simple, low cost ownership those are the best. Sure Ferrari is the best to drive, but Toyota is the best to own.

[@carlovanrijk4039]

checoPH, I have to agree! I’ve had several of these vehicles you mention, along with a couple of Mazdas and Subarus. Never had problems with any of these vehicles as long as the regular maintenance is performed. I personally will stick to these brands…why switch up what works? Kudos!

[@malcolmar]

Well done and well said. After surviving a Chrysler that stared to break down if you looked at it the wrong way, my wife and I decided our next car would be either a Honda or a Toyota. We are proud owners of both a Honda and a Toyota. We bought them new right off of the lot and it already has been 4 years and we have had no issues with either one. The fact they both get great MPGs was also a huge blessing over the recent years. They are also fun to drive. Quality is engineered and Honda, Toyota and their family of vehicles are a shining example of that. Thanks for the video and keep up the great work. The Toyota GR Corolla, GR Supra and the Honda Acura Type S all in manual are dream cars I would love to own one day. One of my current cars is a Honda Civic Type R and I am never selling that car.

[@proudam3969]

Hi from Nevada. Own and drive 4 vehicles. 2016 Cadillac Escalade ESV in Black. 2022 Lexus GX 460 in Nightfall Blue, 2022 Toyota RAV4 XLE Hybrid in Silver, 2023 Toyota RAV4 SE Hybrid in Cavalry Blue. The Escalade was bought used. The Lexus and two RAV4 Hybrids were bought brand new. The Lexus and both RAV4 Hybrids are assembled in Japan and the build quality is perfect. I always use 91 Octane gas or higher on all my vehicles. Chevron only. Cheap gas will mess up your engine over time.

@ECPP I never had issue with my 2016 ext Canada version in 4 year ownership. My 2020 2.0T Accord steering system issues, my 2020 2.0T Acura RDX A SPEC rear window smashed manufacturer issue, my 2018 Ridgeline truck transmission issue, my 2023 Integra Elite a spec Canada version MT steering system issue...but all these issues get fixed and far less dangerous than what family and friends experience with other manufacturers, and then there is the safety in accidents and incidents.

Hi there love watching your videos! I absolutely agree with you Toyota/ Lexus older Honda are the best. I have had 4 RXs, 1 Camry, 1 NX, 1 Venza Got bored and left to BMW and then to Porsche and got a 2019 Macan. I recently traded it in on a CPO 2022 RX 350 F sport fully loaded.. Atomic Silver on Red..with only 7k miles…and I have buyers remorse. While it’s beautiful and reliable, I want my fun Porsche Macan back. I want that fun German drive! I am not in a position to get a LC but I can trade for a Macan T 😅 I would always come back to Lexus/Toyota products.. but don’t want to get rid of that old school V6.. Question: would you have fun with the Macan for a while and come back the Toyota/ Lexus family later?

Toyota and Lexus are probably overall the best way to go. I been more of a Honda fan all my life though. I just purchased a 2024 Honda CR-V Hybrid Sport L and from the first day it has a rattling noise in the cabin. It’s already in the Honda Service Center, with only 100 miles on it. I hope they can fix this problem. After all I don’t think the CR-V should stand for Constantly Rattling Vehicle.

Great videos man. Would you regret baying a 2016 Cadillac SRX, 2017-19 Cadillac XT5 or 2018 Peugeot 3008? Or just scratch all that and get a Lexus RX 350? Thinking of those sunroof leaks on the SRX and headlight issues. Dumb ass GM man. I don't need a relationship with the local car dealership lol. Currently driving a 2006 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7 with 340000 km lol. No big failures besides a water pump, but the diff oils must be changed every 2 years, transfer case oils and pcv valve also.

[@ECPP]

It’s always great to look at options and of the other 3, I would avoid SRX and go XT5, however still not likely going to be as easy to live with as the RX which is almost trouble free.

Depends on what you value the most. I’d pick BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche. But new ones and flagship models, not the entry level cheaper ones nor outside warranty period. Life is short people, why would you want to waste it on something boring?

[@ECPP]

You bet and how about Ferrari, Lamborghini, and McLaren. These are the true experience based cars

[@stevenkim9637]

@@ECPP Sure if you have enough money then a red Ferrari or orange lambo sounds cool enough. No McLaren tho. Clearly if they can afford those options, then most likely they wouldn’t even bother with a Toyota or Honda unless it’s a very special model. The reason why I brought up BMW, Mercedes, Porsche as the three brands is because they tend to deliver good bang for the buck. They do cost more than regular brand cars but not as unreachable as a Rolls Royce. I’d say a Merc S-class or BMW X7 is a good value, and it’s fairly reliable and easy to maintain at least in the first 3-5years. Dealer infrastructure is also somewhat important to consider as something unexpected incident might happen to the vehicle while you’re on the road. At least here in California, you can easily located a Mercedes or BMW dealer unlike the fewer high end automakers.

Hondas are “jack of all trades, expert of none” point a to point b cars and what’s up with cheating out with cvt made in Mexico. Want more fun and exciting cars not so ugly? My choices Acura, Mazda if you don’t mind its looks, and bmw except for the bunny teeth models. Ok I’ll pencil in M3 as an exception.

Mazda actually have some sharp looking vehicles on the road these days. I still wouldn't buy one for some reason.

At the beginning of all your videos you say "Life's to short to drive boring cars", yet you drive boring cars 😂 😊.

[@ECPP]

Exciting cars can be reliable, and value in ownership comes as you seek it. Fun, reliable or cheap. Whatever your flavor. Know what you are getting

Guess you missed the part where he also drives not so boring cars ;-) Which makes driving boring cars at times okay.

[@zsb707]

His F type is far from boring, so he does drive exciting cars.

[@dlj1285]

@@zsb707That fits the bill for sure. Incredible car.

Beware the new turbo I-4 cyclinder Lexus issues that have been failing and many owners complaining. Biggest mistake Toyota Lexus made was ditching their crown jewel six cylinder engine to appease the Climate Cultists.

Lol..a lexus as a sports car? Should send it into space with elons tesla..ill take my mc20 any day

[@joebloggs4191]

No denying if you want something ultra reliable buy Honda Toyota or their luxury brands Lexus and Acura (in the US), but on the whole the vast majority of their models are super boring both in looks and performance apart from a select few like the NSX Civic Type R GR yaris or Corolla, LC500 V8 (which is the only Lexus I would consider) or the Supra but that is 90 % BMW even built at BMWs contractors Magna Steyr plant and only has some tuning tweaks by Toyota, in which case you are effectively recommending a BMW! As for CVT they are just crap! I’ve owned BMWs over 25 years now and hardly ever had any issues and have zero regrets! As you say life is too short to be driving boring cars or EVs for that matter. Speaking of which the example you gave for the EV Mercedes loosing 50% in a year isn’t a Mercedes thing it’s an EV thing all EVs no matter the brand their values are falling off a cliff!

I love the 4RUNNER and would never regret having it except for the mpg

[@ECPP]

Exactly

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

I would also love that LX 460

[@ECPP]

Cheers. Indeed those are sweet rides too.

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

I love Lexus vehicles and would love to have the LC500 but a new one is priced at $120k,that's probably what I would get if I won the lottery...wish me luck ☘️☘️

[@ECPP]

cheers. I know a little pricey

[@matthewh8573]

Why are separating Lexus and Toyota? Jus rename the video to “2” brands.

[@ECPP]

thanks
