That car never knew what a tow truck was, it never met one, it never failed me.

If you change your oil yourself, that's fine. If you take it to the shop, that's almost $10k in oil changes in expensive states. New cars need oil every 7.5 to 10k and after 5 years 5k to 7.5k and after 10 years 5k. Anything at less interval is a waste of money and time. Engines are built better, and synthetic oil is a thousand times better than just 10 years ago.

As a 2019 Mazda3 awd hatch owner, glad the Skyactiv made the list. Torquey little 2.5 NA engine. People think 186hp/tq isn't enough, but at 3200lbs for the hatchback awd with the shorter final drive, peak torque at 4000rpm, it's a responsive unit. Sure it could've used more power, an even 200hp would've been perfect. Cat back to replace that dinky 1.75in mid pipe, light weight forged wheels, and 93 octane to help prevent timing being pulled on hot days should help performance.

JAPANESE are the best when it comes to reliability. The German cars have lost the plot. Fancy tv screen dashboards with 30 different colour LED lights in the door trims but need repairs every 2 or 3 months soon as they hit 50,000 miles. I've owned BMWs and Mercedes and am moving to Lexus because of it.

[@markvincent5992]

@@johng7265 I agree with you completely!! I own an Audi cabriolet with the V-8. The car has brilliant engineering side by side with engineering straight from Rube Goldberg! The engine, chassis and body are all very good as is the HVAC system and dashboard gauges as well. Then you start to discover the Goldberg engineering. Starting with all of the amazing things you can do by using the door lock. You can lower the top and open the windows with the key in the door lock if you know the secret handshake. I discovered this feature quite by accident when I opened the door during a driving rainstorm and the top & windows went down and drenched the interior before I could get the key into the ignition and put it up! Likewise the decision to abandon the dipstick in the transmission along with the ability to add oil without a lift, and rely on a warning light. Which means that if the dash is not working, and you can’t see the warning, you will burn up the trans. Clever, no? But piece d’ resistance is the Ferrari -esque engineering that reguires removal of the engine to replace the timing chain! A $4-5 thousand dollar job which if not done and the chain breaks, you bought a new engine. It’s what’s called an interference engine which means if the chain breaks all the little valves and things run into the pistons which reduces the engine to scrap metal. Stupid! And don’t even get me started on greedy, indifferent dealers who are trying to sell you a new car by telling you how much the repairs cost etc.., even though there isn’t much wrong with your car. The independent garages are no better, as I was recently gouged $1,013 to replace two transmission lines. They found a local company to make the new ones for about $100-150

[@markvincent5992]

@@Davido50 actually, funnily enough, I have been considering a couple of the new Toyota cars. I seriously can’t afford the Lexus V-8 convertible that I like, so I’m leaning toward a new Supra. Pre owned of course and with a comprehensive warranty extended to infinity, if there is such a thing. I can’t afford one new, but after the depreciation burns off, I just might swing it. I currently own an Audi S4 cabriolet with the V-8 and no turbos. I wish I could’ve found a warranty that would pay for some of the things I have run into. There isn’t one, I was patiently told by the salesperson, and, she said, if there was a warranty like that I couldn’t afford it away. Yikes! After a great deal of thought, I have decided to keep my current ride and do a major service and replace the top. The cost of those two things plus a couple of small things will yield a great car with all major issues addressed, performance equal to the new model, and almost no safety nannies and other overthought, complicated “features” that add little to the value and are often the first things to fail. Like you, I prefer the earlier models because they have less computer gimmicks and they will run longer than anything else I have seen on the market.

I remember the disposable GLC models Mazda made back in the 80s and the 40 years they spent trying to make the inherently inefficient Wankel rotary into a viable powerplant, only to ultimately fail as did NSU/Auto Union before them. Their track record is ANYTHING but stellar. Nearly every other auto (and bike) maker, including Mercedes, GM, AMC and Suzuki played with, and ultimately passed on the rotary engine. Ive been repairing vehicles since before the guy who uploaded this video was born, but I find videos uploaded by those who dont know to be....amusing.

My HHR SS has LNF turbo 2 liter 4. Bought new 15 year's ago now with 151 thousand some miles. Doesn't use oil nor leak on the underside. Reliable gets great fuel mileage. Highest was 33.5 mpg on one road trip to a car show in Havre De Grace MD in 2015. Had to replace the original KO4 turbo and replaced it with another factory turbo . Since then 8 year's ago no other major issues with the engine.

[@Nitroat-xo4tj]

thats bs.. b58 m58 Motor gets used even in Japanese Cars (Bmw Motor, Supra etc..) One of the most bulletproof motors to date.. The KZbin video is for the american market.. its what americans want to hear.. In other countries its about facts, not just consumer reports.. (heavily biased, because you dont get the full picture.. consumer reporting their problems on cars, that get driven the most.. Most of the americans dont do regulatory check ups and maintenance.. many european cars in America fall thru the consumer report, or get negative biased ratings, because there is not enough sample size.. In all countries in europe you have mandatory check ups, that are really tuff.. They check everything, every year, or maximum every 3 years if the car is brand new... way harder safety standards, regulations and way less wiggle room for faults or corrosion. These Reports are the ones, that really count. And the top brands are mercedes, toyota, bmw.. etc. Ford, Fiat, American brands are failing the testing in numbers,.. really bad ratings. Like with the Drivin license.. In America you have to answer 3 questions and drive on a parking lot for 2 minutes straight.. In Europe you need 30 hours of driving with a driving school teacher.. and you have to learn thousands of questions and rules.. you have 2 Tests after it.. and you have perfection. driving hours, even after you got the license.. and you have to do a safety test with real Aquaplaning etc.. Americans dont give a fuck.. but complain if they mess it up.. or complain about that terrible drivers, whilst they do not know themselves which sign it is or which rules apply in that situation.

[@NiksAndersons]

the thing that Japanese cars can outlast German cars in America shows that on todays basis they are better! And one engine does not cut it. Yes design is much better in Germany but built quality is bad and i am talking from my own experience with more than 40 cars owned:)

This is a great list, totally agree with his points. There is one more engine I like and I own it (well, used to - now a friend owns it with 275,000 miles on it). It was the 2006 Saab 9-3 with the Ecotec B207R engine. It used a Garrett (Japanese) turbo charger that is very durable, and the transmission although a GM vehicle was a Toyota built 5 speed unit. The engine still does not drip or consume any oil, and the transmission still works well. Very reliable car especially for a GM vehicle (Saab corporate pulled out of the brand after this car was designed by them). I also own the Mazda 2.0 L engine he mentions although that is a much more recent purchase. The GM 3800 V-6 engines of that time period were also bulletproof.

We purchased a new 2004 Honda Odyssey, $32,000. Transmission had drain/fills fluid changes but blew a RTV (caulk) seal at about 90,000 miles. Shifted perfectly but major fluid leak. We were forced to pay for transmission replacement. Then two weeks later engine oil leak in bell housing area. The oil was leaking thru the engine block casting !!! So back to Honda for a new engine. We were told a "new engine" but local Honda dealer put a rebuilt short block as evidenced by the bill which included head gaskets. We were willfully deceived which created major stress/expense and further downtime without a vehicle. Honda NEVER AGAIN.

New transmissions cost more than the engines now? Care less about engines - they are made by robots and everyone copies one another. Employees -engineers -work for companies then leave for another for more money. That's why they're called assembly factories as no one manufacturers everything on their own anymore. Why waste your money on a plastic badge? Toyoda is greatest thing - everyone says then why does BMW make their Supra?

[@markvincent5992]

Only the motor chum, and possibly the transmission. Everything else is Toyota. I think it’s brilliant! BMW has long had the best in-line sixes on the market. Toyota has saved millions on development and customers get one of the finest engines extant. It is a win-win situation for both companies and the consumer gets a great car. So no sour grapes
