Why don't the people who design these cars use people like the presenter in this video to help them out? It would save everyone a ton of headaches and everyone would win.

Thank you so much. It really would help

they will lose money if they did

[@theway280]

they do have people like that. but with after all the compromises that happen between engineering and bureaucracy we get engines that are not well engineered and barely meet standards

[@KT-qk5zf]

Building parts for replacement is also part of the business. If parts don't go bad on your vehicle, you won't need to visit the dealer and thus breaking the chain of all the other key players in the auto business. That's my opinion anyway.

[@hanb714]

Because they earn a lot of money making bad stuff. Never buy a german car that is older than 5 years. When the garanti is out, the problems starts. Buy Toyota, they don't speculate in bad quality.

Can't go wrong with Honda and Toyota for the most part, but I definitely wouldn't get a BMW these days, and have to disagree with it being ranked along with Toyotas and Hondas when it comes to reliability, longevity, and maintenance cost. A Toyota will easily run twice as long with a fraction of the maintenance and repair costs. That being said, 4 of those 5 are pretty accurate and spot on.

I had a colleague, once, who was successful in her career, but far from rich. but she wanted to invest in a nice car, to take good care of and keep a long time. So she bought a brand new Rover, a Discovery I believe. Well, she had it about a year, when, while driving, she noticed smoke. She stopped the car, stepped aside, and watched the entire car burn to the ground! It turned out that the novel pneumatic leveling system had leaked fluid on the exhaust system, igniting a fire. The company was, after a little rangling. good for it I believe. She demanded a BRAND NEW Discovery, this time without that option, and, a believe, she got one.

Yes I drove it hard but I always respected the 6 months/8000km maintenance intervalls. Now I drive a 2021 Corolla SE since august of 2020 with the M20A-FKS (2.0L) and not a single issue with it in almost 3 years.

[@noegutierrez5480]

If you planned on keeping the car for 10 years as a daily driver would the bmw still be as reliable as the Lexus? Asking because it’s come down to these 2 cars as my new daily purchase

[@ECPP]

In short….no

[@old_dan]

No way, buddy. BMW has never been as reliable as a Toyota / Lexus. If long term use is your goal, get the Lexus.

The GM 3800 V6 is pretty bulletproof and parts are very cheap.

[@madebydade305ify]

Transmission goes out before engine and so does everything else.

[@davidperry4013]

If you want something just as reliable but rides smoother and sounds better, get a Lexus or a Toyota with a 2GR engine. That 3.5L DOHC V6 is a cruiser engine. Enough power to blow off steam if someone cuts you off and smooth enough for cruising around at night.

[@LBS-qw8gf]

The 3.5 V6 in the Impala is good too.😮

[@kentkrueger6035]

One company I use to work for, had two Ford Taurus vehicles we used for deliveries. Both had the 3 liter Vulcan V6. We were able to put over 300,000 on both of them. You don't need to buy an import to get a ton of miles on your vehicle.

[@old_dan]

That's almost never the case since most domestic cars are fairly unreliable, especially Ford and Dodge. Japanese and Korean cars are the most reliable ones, and it's been like that for a long time.

[@Chieftain357]

You got that right, Ford 3.5 V6 is rock solid. I owned mine for 14 years and the only problem I have had under the hood is a high-pressure power steering line leaking. The engine still purrs like a kitten.

[@180mmTV]

An import is usually referring to a car that isn’t typically sold in the US, like a Nissan skyline or Peugeot.. not just Japanese/Korean etc cars

[@old_dan]

@@180mmTV You're probable the only person that thinks the term "Import" is for grey market cars like the Skyline. Import is usually used for cars that come from Korea and Japan and it's been like that for decades.

[@rogerhoke3103]

Honda was very reliable until they started using the GDI fuel injection which every time I pull my dipstick I smell gasoline on it and of course the dealer says it's perfectly normal to smell some gasoline that's kind of funny I never smelled any gasoline on any of my Hondas that have been purchasing since 1987 until they started with the GDI

[@antinazi1959]

Fuel pump leaking into the crankcase. I had a Cutlass Salon that did that. I changed the head gasket but that didn't work. Just kept filling it with STP oil treatment.

When I bought my 2023 Kia Soul I already knew what I was getting into... I was like... *Challenge ACCEPTED😎* at the dealership. I've been known to push the crappiest of cars to high mileage limits. Let's see how long this Nu 2.0L lasts me. Plus it was only $22k for a new hatchback in an overpriced market... Can't beat that with a bat. 😆

[@laurat1129]

I don't know about your the longevity & reliability of your Soul (ooh, that sounds weird...), and I wouldn't even accept a Kia/Hyndai as a rental. BUT... I did see a recent dashcam vid of one hitting a stray tire, front-flipping, landing like a cat in the passing lane of a Calif. freeway. Impressive!😂

B58 might be better than N54 and S55 in many ways, but essentially all are direct injection. It would be interesting to see how much of a carbon buildup accumulated in a 7 year old B58.

As with all things, maintenance. Just changed the injectors on my B58 and man they were bad. E85 stage 2+ for context

@@minnus222I believe so, it’s effectively a B58 with 2 cylinders chopped off it just doesn’t get recognized because it’s a 4 cylinder

[@old_dan]

Unless it has a secondary fuel injections system like what Toyota uses in it's DI engines, it's going to have carbon buildup in it's valves. Its the curse of all DI engines. I have a Stinger GT with the 3.3L TT DI engine and I'm dreading having to deal with that in the next 4-5 yrs. I wish we stayed with Port Injection.
