WORST CARS Made By Every Car Brand || Don't Waste Your Money On These Cars!

[@ctclardy]

Toyota has made it very clear that it really does not have its heart and mind into building pure EVs... Toyota sees pure EVs as the fool's gold of the auto industry for the immediate future... and, I agree with them... there needs to be a spectrum of power sources for autos and Toyota is diligently working on those and will eventually succeed.

[@bmw803]

AKIO Toyoda was right except on 1 aspect, if the technology isn't viable today, doesn't mean you have to dismiss it. Because, you will fall behind and have a lot harder time catching up. I favor PHEVs, but battery technology is moving fast. CATL is already developing a Sodium based battery, which might be the answer.

[@davidprodigy5833]

Mazda is totally against electric vehicles

[@dwadd7528]

they need to make lot more PHV.

[@ctclardy]

PHEVs are a different animal than hybrids... they are basically an EV intersected with a gas engine and thus, very complex and expensive to build... that is why Toyota's production of PHEVs is slow and it takes a very long time to get them... plus, the high consumer costs is prohibitive to the average auto consumer as is EVs... that being said, with the advancement of battery technology, there will probably be some major breakthroughs for the average consumer.@@dwadd7528

[@ctclardy]

Well... if your knowledge and business acuity of the auto industry exceeds that of Toyota's I would certainly like to see your bona fides... you try some things, you fail at some, and you win some... Toyota has the ability and skills to overcome its losses but makes up for them with its stupendous and highly profitable wins... say compared to GM and Ford.@@bmw803

I own a Subaru Solterra. I agree that its range is underwhelming and the recharge process is very slow but since I’m a retired senior, neither point is relevant. I charge it overnight in my garage on a level 1 charger. It is always ready to go in the morning. What matters most to me is its very smooth and almost silent ride. It handles very well and I find the cabin attractive and comfortable. For me, it’s perfect but I understand why it is not suitable for everyone.

Toyota is not sold on pure EVs yet and its focus for the foreseeable future will be on hybrids/plug-in hybrids; this approach seems to have been validated by the recent slump in pure EV sales which took many manufacturers, especially Tesla, by surprise. Personally, I think all pure electric vehicles, not just the ones made by Toyota/Subaru, are stop gap until the fast evolving battery technology can produce much better EVs in terms of range and charging speeds, and I'm not even mentioning the dearth of charging stations which is a very real problem even in large cities. Until that happens, I'm sticking with either hybrid or gasoline vehicles, thank you very much!

Really good points. Quite frankly, I believe that the Toyota/Subaru EVs were built precisely for the reason this video's author stated - stop gap.

I had to replace the crappy cheap junk door things to open the doors at least 5 times. Piece of crap car . there was other things that I can't remember. that was a 93 Corolla. I bought a civic, a little past the warranty the power steering was leaking oil . I paid half and Honda paid half. The starter shorted out kept running the battery down . I couldn't believe those crappy visors with mirrors etc melted and came apart when holding the sun shield up at work. I glued the crap with super glue. . That was a 2009 . I always buy them new. The a/c started going bad .they said it must be leaking Freon but they couldn't find the leak. That car had about 14k miles when I traded it in. The Corolla had maybe 24K. I worked 6 days a week then and hardly went anywhere

The 8 speed dc is so much better than any cvt though as it keeps the rpms down and makes the car quieter. Basically its a stick shift with solenoids added. It's too bad we don't get more sticks sold in the US.

The Passport is a great vehicle for someone looking for old reliability, looking to avoid the CVT, doesn’t need 3 rows, wants a 6 cylinder engine and wants a better vehicle than the CRV.

[@damilolaakanni]

The ZF 9 speed transmission in the Passport is a controversial one.

[@pl1guru]

I'd have to disagree about the Blazer with the 3.6. The engine is smooth and pairs up well with the 9 speed transmission with AWD. Now the old 2.5 4 cylinder was underwhelming, for a vehicle the size of the Blazer, and Chevy got rid of it for the 2021 model year. I have a 2020, with the 3.6 AWD and it drives well, handles well and has plenty of power. Also it depends on the trim level when it comes to how its made, like with the 2020 LS and LT1 models, LT2 and above have much nicer materials. Now when it comes to bad vehicles from Chevy, I'd choose the Sonic or the 5.3 liter Silverado, The Sonic is barely a car and is cheaply made and the 5.3 liter Silverado has much more expensive issues, especially with the engine going bad at 5000 miles being more common than it should.

[@bryceg364]

I 100% agree with this, I have a 2020 3.6L V6 and it drives smooth and well, but mine is the FWD. Of course I did get the 3LT trim and it's almost fully loaded, I love it.

[@geraldrstone]

these guys don't do their research. there is a big difference in the types of GM 3.6L, there is the LLT, LFX and the LGX. GM shoulda gave the 3.6L engines different displacement numbers. like 3.6.1, 3.6.2 and 3.6.3L. just a suggestion., my 2020 impala premiere does not have a single recall.

[@HT-ex1jt]

The Toyota BZ4X has a driving range of 238 miles on a single charge. However, this range is reduced to approximately 180 miles when the air conditioning or heater is in use. Additionally, the all-wheel drive model requires approximately over 3 hours to fully charge the battery from 5-100% at all high-speed charging stations, as Toyota initially limits the charging speed up to 53 KW per hour, which slows down as the battery reaches full capacity. Given the reduced range with AC usage, it is crucial to fully charge the vehicle to ensure optimal performance.

Interesting how many of these cars are US-market only. Here in Aus, we don’t get nearly all of these ‘worst cars’. The only ones we have are the Jeep and MX-30. And the Jeep was discontinued here some years ago. The Mazda MX-30, on the other hand, won Car of the Year from many outlets here & has received many awards from journalists. I can only assume that there are significant spec differences between Aus and the US in this case. While the MX-30 is far from cheap here, the range options are good with the PHEV setup.

you have to understand the average Us consumer doesn't like things that are "different" cars like the MX30 will never do well here. I personally like the new one with ethe rotary range extender. would be a great commuter car.

How can you put the Passport on the list for Honda as their worst vehicle not to buy and then praise the Pilot?... they are exactly the same vehicle for 2024 except the Passport is a midsize 5-passenger vehicle versus the Pilot which is the 8-passenger full-size version and, trim level for trim level, more expensive... other than that they are virtually the same vehicle.

There were a few surprises on this list. But I totally disagree on the Honda Passport. That vehicle is still one of my top picks. Some of us easily prefer cargo space over having a third row, and the Passport for me is also way more practical than the Pilot or the CRV except for fuel economy in the hybrid. Yes, a hybrid Passport would be the ultimate option, but if given the choice, I would still choose the Passport over the CRV, especially for it's way more powerful engine My pet peeve is also non-integrated flat screens that stick out above the dash. 😢 They are a distracting design element overall in the CRVs & RAV-4s

So I put down $1000....at first. Then called and put down another,$1000 towards it. When signing papers I was going to to do 36k mikes 36mos. Then thinking at the time I may need 48k in thev36 mos. Life changed. At this point I have 8250miles. Way under. With that said, hiw wrong was I putting down 2k and do you think by the time my lease is up that maybe my low miles will help me much? By then I bet I will be close to only 10000 miles.

Any low mileage car should be worth more than a similar high mileage one. If they won't give you a better deal, just buy it out and own it. The way things are going, it will probably the rest of your life.
