I have to comment here Scotty, I agree partially about Suzuki, BUT! I have owned many only because I made good money reselling them, and the only ones I have had experience personally with are, Suzuki Swift and Geo Chevy Metro. The best 1.3L engines and manual 5spd!! I have had them run to 400,000 miles!! I currently have A 2000 Swift 5spd 1.3L 16valve 42mpg! And only 182,000 low miles, I can say this only because I have dealt with these Awsome Eco box cars! But don’t deal with those 3spd automatics!! Absolute Garbage!

I didn't realize Nissan's reputation had dropped. Back when I was a lot younger families that didn't drive American cars drove Honda, Toyota, Mazda and Nissan as they were super popular. In the last 15 years or so it just seemed to be a toss up between Honda and Toyota for top dog and then Mazda would sneak in from time to time. The most surprising is in the last 10 years Hyundai's popularity. I ended up in one because the payments and warranty were better than Honda or Toyota. I am now looking again but I have no idea what I will get. It's the early stages yet so I am just passively perusing the web.

We have a 2011 Grand Vitara 4 cyl 2wd. Been a remarkably reliable vehicle. Tightly screwed together. Same vehicle that Suzuki sold on several continents for more than a decade, and it has a good reputation worldwide. I suspect Scotty is going on 2nd hand knowledge rather than hands on; America was a failed venture for Suzuki, but some of the products were typical (good) Suzuki quality. And, yes, underpowered (don't care...didn't buy it to race), and parts are a problem.

There's an old story of the highly experienced mechanic who charges good money for a repair where others could not figure out the problem or quoted a high price to replace a number of parts they thought were at fault. The service visit takes just 5 minutes. The customer is not happy because the experienced mechanic used an inexpensive part and spent just five minutes of his time. When explaining the invoice, the mechanic states that the part was $5, and knowing exactly what to fix cost $295. That's how I view this guy. Tough to trust anything on the internet these days, yet there's no doubt this guy is a wealth of auto knowledge.

My dad's old 1993 Honda Accord was over480,000 miles and on its 4th owner last i heard. I sold it with 320,000 miles on it to its 3rd owner. Engine and transmission never had any issue's. Honda Accords from the early 90's are truly the best all around cars ever made.

Have actually owned 4 Suzuki Cars and they are excellent quality cars. Similar quality to Toyota but fun to drive. These are Swift's and currently Swift and a Vitara. Swifts have always been a driver's car. Now own the Swift sport - great fun to drive. Selling my Mazda 6 from 2015.

when he got to #2 and it was Honda, I got excited cause I knew Isuzu had to be #1 by process of elimination.

Mazda makes reliable cars. Look up the Consumer Reports records of used Mazdas and almost all of their models are average to better than average in reliability. But I think Mazda doesn't sell huge numbers in the US because they don't really advertise enough.

In Canada, Mazda now have lifetime warranty on their vehicles. Not sure of the details, but that's a confident car manufacturer.

Still driving my '02 Suzuki. Only reason is I inherited it from my mother-in-law who bought it new and it only had 7k miles when she died in '09. The worst thing to happened to it was head gasket and up-flow sensor that made the engine cut out (when entering a busy highway of course). Always maintained fluids and it has 122k miles. I keep my eyes open for Toyota deals just in case......

Update- crossmember on frame (front) rusted out. Replaced with junkyard piece. Undercarriage rust in dangerous places. Gasket leakage on various places on engine. Differential leaked out, left me stranded 20 mi. from home. Sold it to Cash For Clunkers, $700. Bought a '17 Civic. Happy.

Prior to watching your video I made up own list. The only difference in my list was the placement of Nissan and Hyundai/Kia. But, in thinking about it more, once again Scotty I think you hit the nail on the head.

Totally agree. I bought a Hyundai Santa Fe PHEV in the beginning of the year and it broke down with multiple engine shutdowns due to electrical issues. Stay away from it if you value your time and life.
