When we went to buy a truck for my son, he fell in love with a used GMC Sierra. We "negotiated" for an hour and I finally told my son that we were leaving. We got iin our vehicle and began driving away. In the rear view mirror, I saw the salesmen running out the front, watching us drive away. A day later, they called and sold us the truck for the price we wanted. Again, in 2013, my daughter in law found a subaru forester that she just had to have. Again, I convinced her to walk away. The dealership asked her to come back in so we did. This time, only a day later, she found a much better equipped forester with less miles and a lower price that she got for less than what the dealership was trying to sell her the day before. ALWAYS be ready to walk away.

We went with Honda for the price, and hopefully reliability. The fact that Honda is having a bunch or recalls is scary.

Totally agree. We are looking for a reliable new car to buy. We were serious considering Honda but are changing our minds.

[@bradtrades]

I have owned more than a dozen Honda products over the years (a few Acura's included), and for the longest time you just did the required maintenance, changed the oil more often than they recommended (totally my choice), and NEVER had an issue with any of them, ever. This sure isn't true anymore. And when something goes wrong, it's not something cheap and inconsequential, it's the damn engine or transmission (or what they call a transmission now). Makes me wish I bought a few extra Accords ten years ago and put them in storage. I'm old enough now that when I bought my 2020 I was thinking this could be my last car (not that I think I'm dying, they just used to last forever). Now I'm not so sure, and I don't really want to be dealing with major problems once the powertrain warranty expires. So damn sad, you never could have convinced long ago this would be the way Honda would be today. I purposely avoided the BMW's and MB's that friends bought because I had no interest in impressing anyone (other than myself) and I wanted the bulletproof reliability. Things are supposed to get better, not worse.

He talked about what is going on with the Engines and the seals that are all failing in the cars. He said on Hyundai and Kia, if you get one, do not get anything with a turbo. On Honda, the cars are listed, and it's all Seals throughout the engine that are failing. He said that Honda is so bad that they are sending new engines instead of fixing the issues with the seals due to so many cars.

One of our kids inherited my 2011 Honda Civic with just 120k miles and in excellent conditions, to go to college. A very reliable vehicle. Two years ago we sold our Toyota Highlander with 400k miles and it was in good condition. We went shopping to at least 5 different Toyota dealers, and as you stated, WALKED AWAY. They all wanted $39K or more for just a basic model RAV. We ended up with a CRV EX for $32K out the door price.

I’m on my 3rd Honda, around 100k miles on each, never had an issue other than a trunk piston, replaced it for like 50 bucks.

[@Gerisheng]

Great channel! As for the roughly 13:40 mark - if you want a $21-22k Civic, hop over to the Kia dealer instead. They have reasonably-equipped Fortes (and now they're getting the K4, the Forte's replacement) for under $23k MSRP. It's not as good as the Civic, but it's thousands less and has a big trunk and roomy enough back seat. In 2022 I bought a Forte GT with the technology package and it was STILL under $27k. And really, really loaded. My company has a Kia delivery car and it's still humming along at 105,000 miles.

[@johnr5252]

Good point. Kia makes a good car with loads of features. The average price of vehicles is not $50K……this guy needs to stop lying.

[@michaelw6277]

Are you comfortable with the engine lasting? I recently bought a Corolla and didn’t consider the Koreans due to their reliability reputation. The Forte definitely looks like a nice little car but I was coming from a Volkswagen so I wanted something that wouldn’t cause me headaches. I do love my Corolla though, but again… the Forte (K3 now?) looks good.

[@Gerisheng]

The Forte's 1.6 l isn't one of the problem engines for Hyundai/Kia, so I'm not too worried. But as an engine, I'm not a fan of these modern little overstressed DI turbos, because it does have somewhat old school lag.​@@michaelw6277

[@Gerisheng]

@@michaelw6277 The GT has the 1.6L turbo, which hasn't been one of the troublesome Hyundai/Kia engines. I think I'd still avoid anything with a 2.0L or 2.4L. Funny thing, Kia recently jumped way up to number 8 on JD Powers' 2024 top reliable brand list.

Paid 47k for the 2022 hybrid crv ex during the "Chip/covid shortage" where it was no negotiations, take or leave it. Had to put our name on a list and wait 3 weeks... choose between 2 colors. So this looks amazing to me.

[@Asianmathprofessor]

As a CR-V Hybrid Touring owner for the past 1.5 years, let me clear up a few points. 1) Not a single issue has happened. 2) There's nothing "small" (as in small SUV) about the CR-V these days. It's rather big. 3) The prices are very good and well worth every penny. That's why it's one of the top-selling vehicles in the world. 4) The quality and materials are excellent. 5) I routinely get 600 miles per full fill-up. 6) Its driving characteristics are the best in its class. 7) It's worth every penny and more.

[@ryanatx]

I walked into a Honda dealer the other day and they have alot of 2024 Accord hybrids that are a no sale because of fuel pump recall. The sales guy said those cars prob won’t be available for sale until March. Made me change my mind about a Honda. Especially when the dealer tried to offer me way below trade in value.

2013 Si Coupe 2.4L, V-tech with 240,000. Drives like new, maintained perfectly. Zero issues since new! We love our car. Why oh why won't Honda realize the public wants the upcoming Prelude to be a Mustang/Camaro class beater!!

[@allanpontiere6177]

I am in the market also for a new car but as many of us have said, I will keep what I have! Have a 2017 CRV 117,000 miles. It runs like the day I bought it. 0 issues so far. A new one at 35,000….no thanks. But check out Mitsubishi. Right now a loaded 36,000 dollar outlander is selling for 30,000 with 0.9 financing. Car is made in Japan and has 100,000 mile power train and 60,000 mile bumper to bumper! This could be worth a look!

[@CRAPO2011]

Mitsubishi's never had great engines

[@allanpontiere6177]

Yeah I did my research. You are correct. The early models before the recent gen (2022) did have its share of problems but recent ratings have been very good. Not to mention 100,000 mile warranty. There is a dealership in Maryland that is doubling that warranty!!!! I sat in one the other day…..gotta say it was very upscale…the discounts were pretty insane up to 5 and 6 thousand off MSRP. I will be ready to buy in 2025 and will definitely keep this one on my short list especially if they keep up with the discounts. My Honda snd Toyota dealerships are not even close to that discount. Time will tell.

[@CRAPO2011]

@@allanpontiere6177 I wasn't specifically saying these new ones are bad I think they have a Nissan Rogue chassis if I'm not mistaken. Mitsubishi's always had soft engines that would burn oil prematurely I remember those 3000Gt and diamante's V6 wouldn't last all that long

[@allanpontiere6177]

yep correct again. They are based on the Rogue. I will do more research before I buy which at this point I am in no hurry. Prices are still crazy high but the outlander is on my radar. As mentioned the SE and the SEL are very upscale and premium on interior. Thanks for the feedback. Maybe Brandon can do a video on Mitsubishi to see how they are doing in this ridiculous car market!

[@naturallyadriftphotoadvent123]

We are looking for a slightly used vehicle because it is going to take more money to fix our 10-year-old Rogue than it is worth. It is really hard to figure out what vehicle to go with. New is way out of budget unfortunately. We would love to get into a Pathfinder but we have been hearing that they have a ton of issues. My sister has a 2015 Honda Pilot and loves it has had little work done on it. We found a 2022 Honda Pilot Special, but with that year being so close to what is being recalled and knowing they reconfigured the 2023 I am a bit reluctant. We also tried out a 2023 Kia Telluride which I found very comfortable, but they are not known for reliability. It is a very hard time to be in need of updating your vehicle. Do you think the 2022 Honda Pilot would be a safe bet?

Bought a 2024 4Runner Limited 4X4 new in July. It was the last year of the 5th generation. V6 and loving it. Wouldn’t have bought a 2025 when 6th gen comes out with turbo crap. Also got mine $3000 under msrp, no add-ons and paid cash. Dealer made little money off me

[@TVHouseHistorian]

Bought my 2017 CR-V brand new, have since paid it off, and had numerous issues in the first 3 years of ownership. Fortunately, most of those issues were addressed during the warranty period. However, many other CR-V owners across the country experienced catastrophic engine failure due to oil dilution (or whatever). So far, I’ve got under 70k miles on mine and the only issue I’m having (still having) is with the touchscreen on the dashboard going schizo every so often. Honda already replaced it once, and the new touchscreen is having the same issues as the old one. Won’t go back to Honda ever again. My first 3 years with this vehicle were a headache. My next vehicle will likely be a Toyota.

The SP stands for Sport not Special, my car is Platinum White Pearl, you couldn't give me that awful looking loud color Boost Blue Pearl on that Civic you showed, that's why it's still sitting on the lot. The 2025 has a new front fascia & it lost it's fog lights, why I ordered my 2024 back early March, didn't want a 2025 or a Hybrid version!
