3 JUNK Car Brands I would NEVER Buy!

[@cameronjenkins5304]

I have a 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport(RVR). On day 1 it was rattling and the uninspiring performance was noticeable. However, 150,000 miles later, I have never been stranded on the side of the road and dumped almost no money into it. Unlike my wife's Mercedes and BMW.

[@moeanthony9308]

Rust pit too

[@michaelfredmon4748]

Wife and I have been buying and driving Foresters and Outbacks since 2004 model. Very reliable and very crash safe. Example: My 2017 Outback Limited 4 cylinder has zero repairs in 86,000 miles. Similar for Forester, one small repair in 77,000 miles. We will replace them with new Subarus.

[@jimkupers7556]

86,000 miles in 7 years is not a reliable test......

[@efavuzza73]

I agree with except the Subaru. My father has his for 18 years. The legacy never had a problem

[@lawadm1]

Same. He complains about Subaru yet he drives that crazy overpriced Mercedes that’s terrible all around.

[@martinr8278]

Both of our Subaru’s, thankfully, no problems. This almost reminded me of the station on KZbin TFL they have no idea about anything Subaru. They decide to make accusations as in this case without really having any kind of real life experience. As consumers, we know better this is just one of those walk videos.

[@jimkupers7556]

Impreza CVT transmisson crapped out at 60,000 miles, 2 wheel bearings, never again

[@tomstoeckle]

I like my 2023 V6 Camry. 8 speed “real” transmission, no turbo or hybrid. Doesn’t even shut off at a red light! 1600 RPM at 70. 36 MPG highway miles. That drivetrain will last a very long time.

[@ECPP]

That is the last of some of the most durable modern cars

[@tomstoeckle]

@@ECPP exactly. That why I purchased it. They will soon replace the V6 with a 2.4 4 cyl turbo. BTW. Was lucky finding an ethical dealer. Earl Stewart Toyota in West Palm beach. No dealer fees, addendums or markups. Quoted price plus sales tax and title.

[@don-cw1yz]

@ Subaru 2005-2009 generally have 2 engine issues. Head Gaskets and dropped valves.

[@JOHNWLOUCKS]

Yes, I know and I am holding my breath. I only have 106 K but I have changed the oil every three K and done multiple coolant flushes. I do have a small leak from one valve cover gasket that has stayed the same for years. The car is in excellent shape but I am not sure I would repair a head gasket leak.@@don-cw1yz

[@josuegonzalez3660]

With you on Mitsubishi/nissan (same company) but you’re wrong about Subaru. Have had better reliability with my Subaru then other Toyotas I’ve owned. Not saying they’re more reliable just that Subaru in general is pretty reliable. They also have the best AWD system of any other car.

[@ECPP]

Thanks for watching and great comment. For me the CVT is not a very uninspiring g drive but many engines tend to use oil and tight engines are always a little nicer. Many people do live Subes because they are simply so practical and functional even the shortcomings are excusable. Hope your weekend is also going well

[@harveyhankerson8359]

I have a Subaru 2008 . With 4 hundred thousand miles on it. With zero issues. !!

[@johnboyle1425]

My 2018 Subaru Forester with the 6-speet manual transmission has been an excellent car. It does burn some oil but not a lot. This was the last year that the 6-speed transmission was available in the Forester. It has been serviced at regular intervals and at 120,000 km handles and runs like new. No issues and it does not have the dreaded stop/start feature. It has been a very reliable car and I am just one of the many satisfied owners.

[@DomCampbellonline]

Looking at a 7 year old subaru... come on dude. I wouldn't buy one of those either. But, I would buy a newer one! Very good cars overall... have owned nearly all the models including the brz the past 20 years (except wrx).

[@ae747sp5]

[@SeanJohnson-sj1su]

That Forester model you were reviewing was the 2009-2013 body style. They were not very good and not a good representative of the Forester line. The Foresters they have NOW are MUCH better and Consumer Reports seems to speak highly of them, as well as Crosstrek and Outback. But damn, get rid of the CVTs and go the Mazda route.

[@kimberlyhall7610]

I have a 2018 Nissan kicks I bought used with 52000 miles, it’s in perfect condition and I have taken very good care of it! I have the SR, I love it! It runs better than any care I have ever owned, no hesitation or anything .

[@harveyhankerson8359]

bought a used 2016 forester in 2019 . it had about 25,000 miles on it 2.5L 4 cylinder engine with the CVT transmission , now it has 99,000 miles on it . while not awe inspiring , ok maybe a bit boring . it has not disappointed in reliability . in those almost 75,000 miles 2 sets of front wheel bearings , 2 brake fluid changes ( when brakes need replacement ) 1 differential fluid change and 1 CVT fluid change ..... I can't really complain for spending $24,500

[@exmarine268]

My 2014 Altima has 109k miles on it - no problems at all. I’ll take it any day over a $100k Ford pickup with bad quality. Talk about gouging…that’s Ford! My Altima is 10 years old and paid off and will last another 10 years.

[@ymmij1973]

I guess I could say I'm a Nissan guy I've had three Nissans and all three of them have been excellent vehicles. Two of them currently have CVTs never had any issues... the Altima has 200,000 on it and everything on the engine is still original as far as mechanical stuff. Replaced valve cover gasket and oil cooler gasket, front struts and a wheel bearing.... other than that nothing. Change your oil every 3 to 5000 miles. Use 89 octane at least. Nissan kind of has a bad rap but I've not seen it in 20 years of driving them. Don't like Subaru there just fucking gay... I'm just not a Mazda person either just slow. Other vehicle in the house is a Toyota Camry and Maxima.

[@harveyhankerson8359]

Disagree with this video. My 12' Altima car that I am in my 13th year of driving has been bulletproof so far. I change the CVT fluid in my car every 25,000 miles or 2 years whichever occurs first. NEVER have had any problems with my transmission. I do all the required maintenance on my car and expect to drive it for many more years.

[@theschrom]

I had this same car and the CVT went out at 45K. This is such a common problems that Nissan replaced it, no questions asked on their dime even though it was off warranty. Good on you for being proactive with the fluid changes though.

[@TheCaptjamestkirk]

I did the fluid changes on the CVT on my 2015 Rogue, and the CVT still went out at 65,000 miles!

For Lent I'm trying to avoid commenting on KZbin, but I feel it's a greater sin to feed people misinformation. People want to lump Honda in with Toyota in reliability without doing research. Honda USED to be great. I'd avoid newer Hondas as well as the brands mentioned here. They have been having oil dilution issues in their engines and haven't been able to solve it. Also, Subaru has gotten a lot better in recent years as Toyota has stock in them and it shows. They have gotten a lot more reliable in recent years. I agree on the styling though. Outside of the BRZ, Subaru doesn't have cool looking vehicles.

I don’t really care for Nissan either because of the cvt, however I’ve never seen a failure on one that has has the NS-2 or NS-3 replaced with Valvoline cvt fluid and changed every two years. Many Nissan and Mitsubishi have Jatco cvt btw. Change the fluid regularly and before specs.

I had a 2017 Altima with 270,000 km on it never a transmission problem. Funny Nissan and Subaru have pretty good reliability according to consumer report. I think you missed the Ford eco-boost engines that literally detonate, and then the company doesn’t stand behind them. Wheres Jeep, which is worse than all three of the brands you’ve mentioned here. Land Rover? Jaguar? 🤔

[@danibj]

Consumer reports almost never consider longevity, mostly problems they analyze are for the first few years of ownership. Ecoboost is a name, not a family of engines. Most of them are different from each other. While there’s been all sorts of issues with the 1.0 and 1.5 4 bangers, the 2.3, 2.7 and 3.6 will last for hundreds of thousands of miles. Search for F150 Ecoboost with 1.4 million miles on KZbin , it ran 700k miles with the first engine and the 2nd is running strong. It’s a 2.7 ecoboost. The new 1.5 3 cylinder is also good for 200k miles or more.

I avoided Nissan altogether when Carlos Ghosn, of Renault "fame" (?) took over as CEO at Nissan. Things started to decline as quality gave way to cost cutting (eg: JATCO CVT). Styling was the selling point, but quality was swept under the rug. My number 3 is Range Rover.

Also, the Lancer has been discontinued since 2017 so why are you bringing it up? I had a 2010 Lancer Sportback with the 2.4 and CVT. Most reliable car I've ever owned. In 10 years of driving I never once had any sort of of repair - warranty or out of warranty. Nothing but regular maintenance.

[@michaelqu]

Mitsibushis has always costed less than Toyotas and as a result they're made cheaper and corners are cut. Plus, cars aren't Mitsubishi's main focus, so they aren't made as well. This is why it's common for Mitsubishis to start burning oil or have engine or transmission failures around 100k miles. Their piston rings are just made too cheaply. My cousin's 2017 Mitsubishi Outlander CVT failed at 145000 miles, in addition, his engine started burning oil at around 110000. He traded in for a 2016 CX-5 and it's now at 260000 miles and is still 100% trouble free all original.

[@lakeseminole]

2019 Subaru Ascent sold at 63k miles. Never any problems although, admittedly, I did not like the CVT transmission. You have to learn how to work with it. The fit and finish was outstanding on the Ascent. I've owned 23 cars/trucks in my life. No complaints otherwise.

What can you tell me about the Mercedes 350 AMG

[@Blue-moon12]

What 350 AMG?

[@Distop_]

For me that is Kia, Dacia and Hyundai. I would rather gladly drive Subaru or Nissan than those three.

[@ECPP]

You list a few of the biggest trash bag brands in my opinion and uncovered those in a previous video too. Well deserved.

[@deancm9302]

We’ve had three Qashqai in the family one with 170,000 km right now and it’s been back to the dealer for all changes, brakes and tires only. In case you haven’t noticed Honda Toyota, are all flipping the CVT’s as well.

[@albertatundra]

Nissan's CVT transmission is the worst in the business.

[@deancm9302]

@@albertatundra not from my experience, and with the new Frontier and the new Pathfinder they’re going to nine speed autos. He forgot to mention that. He basically slammed CVT’s in general. Both new Camry and Accord are now CVT.

[@JasPlun]

Toyota on very few models and it has been the best CVT ever made, Honda is having lots of reliability issues right now and has been going downhill last 5 years. Nissan as of this year is no longer any part of Renault they baught back the shares and are strictly a Japanese company again so time will tell if reliability returns.

[@eskieman3948]

@@deancm9302 Yup, and more are coming for many car manufacturers, whether we want them or not.

That’s great to hear. Depends which drivetrains specifically

[@TheKingOfInappropriateComments]

I don't think Nissan confirmed it but reportedly discontinuing the Titan. I owned one. I liked the truck a lot and regret selling it but the new ones look very dated on the interior. I still think it's one of the best looking exteriors though.

[@gregorycanady2530]

As for the Subaru logo in question............It starts with looking up at the night sky in the Northern Hemisphere..........there you see the Orion star constellation closely chasing Taurus the Bull, who is chasing the pleiades constellation, which is made up of about 9 stars. Whats the Japanese word for pleiades?..........."Subaru"...........now you know.

[@Thankyou_3]

Great video but I would have added Nissan Frontier as a great buy and alternatively would have placed the Honda Civic and Accord Turbos are disastrous vehicles. Oil dilution issues are very common and head gaskets issues. 100% agreed about Subaru, absolute garbage with oil leak issues, coolant leaks and head gasket issues.

[@CarringtonHollister]

0:26The fuck is a RVR, eh here in the States we know this vehicle as “Outlander Sport” eh‼️🤣🤣 3:50 I honestly wish Renault I meant Nissan used the Qashqai name here in the States but whatever, eh‼️🤣🤣🤣

that forester is not the prettiest i agree but mechanically is a tank.. has a torque convertor gear box and with the flat 4 engine easy electronics.. also a timing chain naturally aspirated engine ,,,,that car is fantastic

As always, another great episode! Thanks Mark 👍

[@xzombielar]

One common connection between the three dream cars you mentioned: they all feature primarily the JATCO transmission,, which has been letting people down for well over a decade.

[@SiamakShishvan]

Hey dude... there are a lot of junk brands. You cant say this about japanese cars. They are the best in the world. They know how to make cars.

[@ECPP]

I agree there are many junk cars but these days consistently these brands offer little to nothing from my perspective. Nissan used to be amazing and other than the GTR or trucks, there is really nothing redeeming. GM, Ford,also belong on a hit list but there are a few more offerings.

[@SiamakShishvan]

@@ECPP im not a fan of nissan. But mitsubishi toyota and honda are the best. The most reliability, the most long life, the less maintenance cost. I have had american, European, corean and japanese cars during 30 years. With 100% trust I can say no brand like japanese cars. Especially toyota mitsubishi and honda.

[@silverandgoldportugal]

Thank you for putting poor mitsubishi with the big boys (Toyota and Honda).

[@markclippendara]

What about Kia's?

[@sseltrek1a2b]

i will say that Subarus are way over priced...about 15 years ago, i tried to get into a used Outback that had 60k miles...they wanted $30k for it...also think the current Foresters are way over-priced for the size of the vehicle you get (it's basically an Outback in training)...

[@lindap.p.1337]

I see MANY Rogues on the road. My neighbor bought a new one in 2022. With 200 miles on it the motor went out. They asked her what she did to it. She was 81 and accepted the car when it was repaired with a new motor.

Old Subaru model not even close to the quality and looks of current generation. Foolish comments on an old car

[@mackenziecarreiro7379]

Great video, that hat looks sweet!

[@TheBodrey]

Ford, GM, and Chrysler (Stellantis) should be at the top of every would-be car owner's list of brands to AVOID! Their quality and records of reliability have always been abysmal (not to mention recalls galore). Stick with an older Honda or Toyota (that was manufactured in Japan) and you'll be OK. Avoid anything built in Mexico (i.e. Toyota Tacoma) because the quality and build quality are junk.

[@joeblakely5950]

I’ve got a 2008 Nissan Altima that’s running great

[@bradhampton6457]

I’ve owned several Nissans in the past and they were good vehicles. Not sure about the new ones today but I’d buy one over a Kia or Hyundai. Never owned a Mitsubishi but I don’t think they’re a terrible product. And if you want to review BMW or jaguar I’d say you better buy a good extended warranty.

[@ApArt1003]

I STILL HAVE MY 1996 LANCER STILL RUNNING, 2012 PATHFINDER AND 2017 NAVARA THEY ARE RELIABLE. MY NEXT VEHICLE WILL BE ARMADA. SUBARU THE ONLY JAPANESE BRAND I WILL NEVER BUY. BOXER TYPE ENGINE NOT FOR ME.

[@ECPP]

Exactly

[@BocaAtractivo82]

I'd consider a Subaru or Nissan any day w/a regular auto transmission before the company switch to a CVT -or a manual transmission.

The majority of people have been brainwashed into forgetting that cars are tools, nothing more. The number of power door locks and windows failures I have seen is unreal. From all manufacturers. Reading "experts" deriding Toyota for not going Screamie Teenie Beatlemania on Electric Cars, and now the "experts" either backpedal faster than a fixie-riding Spin Doctor or repress the memory of exposing themselves as a low-functioning halfling.
