To be Fair Honda updated many things about the Ridgeline over the Years for example, Heavier wheel bearings and Better trans, So far at 45,000 miles we really like ours, I personally changed all the Trans and drive fluids at 32,000 miles made a difference in smoother Shifts from the 9 speed ZF.

[@mattiisosalo918]

It’s a shame that Saab went out of business. I’ve had a few and the last Saab I had I kept for 10 years and it was really bulletproof car. After Saab’s I bought a Mazda 6 and so far I’ve been really happy with it, somehow it has similiar driving charateristics to Saab even though it’s NA . Volvo has gone downhill lately, and Volvos today are not what they used to be. I think I’ll be buying japanese from now on.

I was ex ited for the CX70/90, but recently found reviews saying many services require an engine pull. They made these very complicated. Only time will tell how long it takes for them to fail, and it will be really expensive when they do. They also made some comprimises on the suspension compared to the outgoing cx9.

[@SinlowMusic]

N55 was actually VERY reliable statistically, especially in the later years 2014 and up. B58 is even better though for sure.

I agree with every other appraisals in this review completely...especially the Land Rovers.

[@SinlowMusic]

He is wrong. The N55 was absolutely a powerful workhorse and very reliable statistically. Especially the 2014 and up variants which you have. Be sure to change the oil every 3 -5k miles. Do NOT do 8000 or 10000 mile intervals.

Very comprehensive and sadly accurate for so many stinkers. The F-150 is the most disturbing development, considering the F-150 is the "bread & butter" sales leader for many decades. Especially notable is that all F-150's are built exclusively in the USA (So much for "Quality built American vehicles"). Glad you were honest about the Hyundai/Kia balls of rolling fire, time bombs. And I run when l hear Mercedes SUV followed by the letters GL, GLA, GLB, GLK... Thanks for your wakeup call amid this sea of flashy ads promoting vehicles l wouldn't sell to an ex-wife.😮

Just subscribed and moved over from your truck channel. Honda Civic Sport, like the one you pointed out at 1:23:30 is $ 32, 716. in Canada and the price does NOT include whatever taxes you may have to pay depending on the province you live in. For me in Ontario, I have to add 13% tax which makes the selling price $36,969.08. Not exactly a cheap little car. Would love to know where you found a new Honda Civic basic for $23,450 ? Honda Canada's basic Civic starts at $ 28,756 + tax = $32,494. Definitely not under $ 25,000. You stated that basically Honda has great cars despite a few hiccups, except you spent an entire video a couple of months ago tearing Honda down saying how the new ones are unreliable and their reliability has fallen down to 15th from first or 2nd place . At 56:54 ,A Honda, the " reliability king next to a Toyota or Lexus"❗PLUS, " Honda, they know how to build reliability" . Which is it, UNRELIABLE OR RELIABLE ⁉ BTW, Honda is known for their CVT engines being better than most . At 56:10 you showed a Honda CR-V with a price tag seen hanging from the visor showing the price at $37,988 and you said the price ranged from $24,000 -$ 35,760. Where can you get a Honda CR-V in Feb 2024 starting at $24,000 in Canada ?

I hate to tell you, that car does not have fake exhaust tips. The pipes are real, the tips are that way to keep the rain out of the exhaust pipes. I have a Charger like that and when I put my custom Borla exhaust system in, they kept the use of the factory tips. I had an Impala SS once that used to blow all over the garage doors when you started it after rain. It took a while to figure out why the garage doors were always so filthy. My Charger doesn't do that. And the tips are big beefy chrome steel units. The exhaust pipes are just far enough inside to keep the rain away from them. After owning that SS, I wouldn't have anything else. And, because it did that, the SS rotted its 700 dollar traverse mounted muffler out. You need to learn what you're looking at. The fake ones don't have any pipes in them at all, and they're just plastic plugs.

I started doing a little research on comments this guy makes, and it turns out he knows what he speaks of. I get a little tired of looking at his in-your-face, but I've never done any videos so hey, that's not a reason enough to not listen. Specifically, I looked up the BMW engines, and he's right about known problems that have shown up over years of on-the-street use. I would imagine it's hard to test for those problems, so not so much a design oversight, but things that only many miles of varied driving would reveal. BMW has made changes in their most recent V8's to address those problems, but there you're paying MSRP, and the newer engines don't have 50K miles on them, so ....

I had to put in a complaint with bmw corporate to get recall work done. When I got it back the dog bracket want put in and all that weight on the turbo made the DOF brake at the flange to the turbo. Bmw would not repair it. Wanted $9000 for the part. I deleted all emissions after that. Things I have replaced in five years. Rear air bags. Brakes and rotors. Def delete Couple plastic hoses that cracked. Zu transmission pan and filter. Couple of fog lights from rocks. All parts bought from FCP because parts here are a rip off. B58 or s58 for next bmw or would go to Lexus.

Great choice in next cars and thanks very much for sharing your experience

[@asadb1990]

Gotta applaud op for still willing to go with a manufacturer after being burned by them

[@fuzelmultani2290]

great video. how long did it take you to make and edit the video ?

[@ECPP]

A long time, tbh

@24:30 - Audi does station wagons cool and fun... A4 and A6 Avants are cool.

[@kelvinmvula]

Please advise between Infiniti Q70 and Audi A5 2012-2016 which one is reliable

[@FirewoodEnjoyer69]

If I was forced to pick between the two, I would go for the infiniti, japanese over german any day.

[@DispelTV]

Love your channel and sense of humour Mark. I've got an Audi A4 2006 with a CVT that's killed me in repairs. I believe Lexus is my next car thanks to your videos. Please keep up the great work and that sense of humor lol

[@Santoshlv426]

This video clearly took a lot of work. Appeciate the industry wrap up Mark. Perhaps make this an annual thing

[@DOTcom210]

Without saying the year or gen for each vehicles, this video is hard to follow.

[@dcruzaggie]

B58! 💪🏾

[@ECPP]

That’s a great engine

[@ryanb8736]

I’ve been saying it for 7 years, that the B58 was gonna be the golden child of BMW. Once I seen the design and build of the engine when announced, I knew it was gonna be a game changer. Only BMW engine i recommended. ZF 8speed is also amazing.

[@albertadams2095]

50k and some change to get into a base Macan… I recently saw one of your videos where Jeep is asking 47k for a Compass 🤦‍♂️ The math isn’t ‘mathing’ Make it make sense

[@athlete2014]

The BMW X5 does not have fake tail pipes they are a aluminum shell surrounding the actual tailpipe which is spewing out black soot which is all over the aluminum frame. Proving that that round pipe inside of the rectangle is the real exhaust

[@Pakistaniinamerica]

What about subaru legacy and outbacks from 2021 and up?

[@drobster100]

Which HP version of the BMW 4.0i engine? The old or the new (which has more HP) or either one is equally reliable?

[@LOGICAL-JAY]

The 4.0i engine is one of bmws safest engines..the older 4.4 V8 was problems on top of problems..😅

[@mrchurch3148]

Any insightful info on VW 2024 atlas

[@franciskowalski7367]

great job guy

[@johannjohann6523]

I definitely agree life is too short to drive boring cars! Besides, how are you to pick up the ladies? They don't want to ride in a 2002 Toyota Corolla with no stereo, a garbage bag for the door window and riding on 4 different brands of used tires! lol

[@ECPP]

Haha nicely stated

[@ishmamrahman877]

Make a vedio about reliable new cars

[@mpmpm]

@1:24:32: 'You can ride these cars 10..15 years'. Is that all? Most people buy second hand cars. And I myself rarely buy a car younger than 15 years old.

[@paulbriggs3072]

Toyota may have a longevity reputation, and good for you if yours has lasted. But Camry's for instance need their timing belts replaced every 60,000 miles! Cars should have timing CHAINS that last longer than the engine. My Camry had its engine replaced when I bought it, and only last about 45,000 more miles when the belt went and so did the engine and car. My 2007 Toyota Tundra had to have the secondary air injection pumps and associated valves replaced THREE TIMES at $1200 a pop! It had so many code issues that the shop could not clear them all to inspect it! The frame was rusted badly due to a terrible shape like an open gutter with no drainage holes! They had class action lawsuits against them that forced them to REPLACE THE FRAMES!!!

Love your vids. Can you give a opinion on if the new Lexus GX 550 will hold its value? Thinking of picking one up thos spring. Im told 4Runner is the way to go buy dont wanna wait

[@asadb1990]

Honestly if you are worried about holding value, you don't want a new car. All new cars lose value after driving off the lot. It's better to buy a lightly used car a few years older for way below retail.

Any Lexus that has come off lease or dealer loaner cars. Preloved.
