The 25 BEST Cars For The Money!

[@SuperSTEIN24]

I had a 2006 Honda ridgeline. Drove it until 290k miles. Never had a single problem with the engine. The car towed boats from CA to WA every summer. Drove in DEEP snow every winter. Got pushed too hard on fire roads (maybe a slight jump once or twice). That thing was absolutely bullet proof. It did have some issues with the locking 4WD at the end that we didn’t get fixed before getting rid of it. If Honda made anything with a locking rear diff I wouldn’t shop anything else. The ridgeline is what 80-90% of truck drivers actually need.

[@BP-1972]

I thought about trading in my 2019 Ram 1500 for a Ridgeline. Better ride, fuel mileage and seems more practical for everyday driving.

[@ryanb8736]

I borrowed my friends to move some things. I was actually very impressed with it. So comfortable and great engine. That hidden trunk under the bed was amazing.

My best was an 86 Mazda 323, which I purchased new for just over $8000 cash, and drove for 150,000 miles with just oil changes and tires and one set of front brake pads. Yielded a consistent 32 mpg and ran great...sold it to a friend for $4000 and miss it to this day.

[@dentman67]

Try and use that 100k warranty. If the vehicle wasn't serviced by the book, and at the dealership, you may be in for a surprise.

​@michaelstewart9366 What electrical issues. When you say "hyundai has electrical issues" do you mean per se that in the history of mankind a hyundai somewhere has an electrical issue? Or do you mean hyundais commonly have them? Because I think you're on the brink of talking outyerass if you don't choose wisely lol

[@ChristianC-gy1ym]

@dentman67, that's a true statement but it makes sense. If you are servicing your own vehicles or take them to a 3rd party shop, how would you expect the manufacturer to ensure uniformity in quality? Not saying all dealership shops do quality work (because they certain dont). But it's the bare minimum quality control they can at least attempt. I always take all my vehicles into the dealer for THAT reason because i don't want them having any excuses why they won't honor a warranty in the future. My BMW, Hyundai, Toyota. They all see time at the dealerships.

[@BrianPetersen-l2w]

Excellent video. My experience with my 2008 4Runner RWD has been flawless. Over 15 years with no problems at all. Regardless of milage just getting to over 15 years is great. I only paid 28K for it new, it still looks and drives like new, I think it will go for another 15 years.

My #2 sleeper car... O7' Rav 4 v6. Currently have it and it rips to about 75mph. It flattens out quite a bit after 75 but yeah My #1 sleeper car... 2000 Saturn Wagon L series 3.0 Litre V6 Bosch(German) paired with a Chevy Cavalier 4 speed automatic. It was a missile all the way to 105mph, smoothed out a bit but kept going to 130. That Saturn Would torch the Rav 4 hands down with luxury quiet and decent cornering. Sold it with 297,000 miles for nothing. The oil would stay pristine and you'd swear it was just changed after 3000 hard miles. Crazy Good engine!!

Appreciate iSeeCars for putting together this data and to TFL for presenting it. But it would have been even better for them to factor in total cost of ownership (fuel, maintenance and resale) rather than just average purchase price.

I recall reading an article about surprising taxi vehicle replacements in the US and the Ford Explorer or Escape ( I forget) with the hybrid power train stood out as on of the reliability kings, due to the electric motors taking stop-n-go stresses off the power train. That was several years ago, so I would be interested to see the taxi/rideshare community chime in on toyota's hybrid vehicles.

[@Invisibleindreamsonly]

I worked at a Toyota dealership in the 80s 90s and 2000s and I Remember when their pick ups had sludge build up issues Toyota really didn’t stand by their engines like they should have. In working at both foreign and domestic dealerships overall I saw that the domestic dealerships were much quicker then Toyota Nissan Hyundai etc. to assist and help the customers. When buying a new vehicle make sure to compare the warranties on each vehicle that you are considering to buy because I’ve seen a lot of vehicles fail just outside their warranty and it boiled down to the manufacturer providing goodwill to the owner of the vehicle.

[@JollyGiant19]

From my experience you’re living in a Twilight Zone episode 😂

[@danmarjenka6361]

I've never once heard that American car manufacturers stood behind any of their vehicles. Toyota picked up the parts and labor on a $2000 part at 150,000 miles on my car. I did not have an extended warranty either.

[@Ctb1998]

The ridgeline is arguably the best truck on the market aside from looks/off-roading ability and that’s the only reason they don’t sell as much as the Tacoma. The ridgeline is a perfect example of what 90% of people actually need out of a truck, myself included.

[@Ctb1998]

@devildog5354 I said best truck on the market for most people, the only reason people don’t buy them is because the look and no true 4wd system

[@austinpowe4322]

Dude keeps saying price per 100k but he means price per 10k.

[@RYTHMICRIOT]

The reality is most Americans who buy new, move on to another vehicle in less than 5yrs. And last time I checked, warranties don't pass to the next buyers. And this is likely the period where the most significant vehicle maintenance comes into play. And it's hard to quantify how well the later owners maintain upkeep. And the other thing almost never mentioned when reliability is discussed is ease of serviceability and the parts market. If you have a part that breaks often, but the part is cheap and can be changed in less than an hour with basic tools, this is much better than a part that breaks rarely but requires the engine to be raised to replace.

[@byronorellana6886]

What are variables being used to calculate the cost per 10,000 miles?

[@MegaBlackley]

Bottom line: a turbo is an extra part that fails, and it’s super expensive when it does. No thanks. Normally aspirated for me.

[@propertypreparedness6846]

I agree, unless I have owned the vehicle from day one. Then I have no concerns, driving style and maintenance that I know happened. If you get a bad turbo it will likely fail in warranty. Otherwise (mostly) it’s dirty or unchanged oil. (I have had one rebuilt under extended warranty) low mileage power stroke. My fault, only drove it 5k a year.

[@chandleredwards]

You will agree that no matter what, even if cared for from the first, forced induction is higher maintenance.​@@propertypreparedness6846 More power from less displacement results in higher wear and tear. Higher the pressure, more wear and tear. Pros and costs. 👍

I love the Ridgeline and I was close to buying it twice when I was in the market for a new pickup truck for my wife. We have three kids of which two still use car safety seats, and the Ridgeline was the only midsize pickup truck that I could fit my kids in the rear row. However, the reason I did not buy it before the latest refresh is that I do not like its exterior look (the latest one is looking much better), and I need a truck with a bit more ground clearance because we are going to hunt a lot.

[@Jackson-T23]

34:11. Remember 239,000 miles is the "average". So for every Tacoma that died at 139k miles......there's another that went 339k.

I've had my 2006 ford E350 5.4 for over 6 years now. It's had 56k when I bought it. I know these engines in many forums seem problematic but, if serviced on time it's been doing great. to be quite honest the engine is running really well, and yes she drinks a bit of oil by design and veeeeery thirsty, but it's the transmission I keep an eye on, I changed that fluid every 30k. and the sparkplugs with a trusty mechanic. Because I go on long trips everything has been serviced so I don't get stuck with expensive repairs. I have 110000k now and runs very well. I think if I keep the the maintanece the way I do, the body will fall off before the powertrain even flinches.

[@kwilliams4031]

I owned a 2017 Mirage. I liked the efficiency (50 mpg was possible at ~50mph on even ground) and simple, reliable drive train, which I'm sure would've lasted 200k. Despite being very under-powered (You need to plan ahead when pulling out into traffic) and lack of tire options, I was hoping to keep it "forever". But unfortunately the build quality wasn't there. Brakes weren't great, but more importantly, parts underneath started rusting and falling off way too early. I traded it for cash from a dealer at around 86K and don't regret it. I previously owned two Hyundai Accents (bought brand new for roughly the same price as the Mirage) and while not perfect either, they were a lot easier to live with. Better build quality and ability to keep up in traffic more than made up for lower mpg numbers. I put over 220k hard miles on my '01 Accent in just 7 years.

That's a big penalty for going that slow. My manual 05 cobalt could get 43mpg at 75mph. I got it for 13170 brand new.

The problem with 4-banger turbo cars is that everyone knows power can be increased by simply increasing boost. No one can resist. More boost equals more fun until eventually the engine goes boom.

[@eyesurgeon69]

The amount of owners that even consider increasing the boost in a modern non-enthusiast turbocharged car is less than 1%.

[@mplslawnguy3389]

Most turbo cars aren't meant to be driven like sports cars. The only reason for the turbo is to assist an underpowered engine. I will avoid a turbo for as long as I can. Perfectly happy with my V8, and that is real power, not artificially boosted power.

[@lorrinbarth1969]

@@mplslawnguy3389 I owned several cars with big V8’s. The problem is the weight. In the last of the previous previous generation of Camaro they had moved the engine so far back it was half buried under the windshield in an attempt to improve the car’s handling. Since then I’ve owned four turbocharged cars, two were excellent and two not so good. However, I didn’t have any turbocharger problems with any of them. Early turbocharged cars had this gap in acceleration, the turbo finally kicking in and increasing power at about 3500 rpm. My latest turbocharged acquisition is a 2021 Honda Accord with a 10 speed automatic. There is no turbocharger lag and I’ve gotten as good as 42.7 mpg on the highway. The faults with this car are that around town it is kinda on the whale size and all the drive train wants to do is spin the tires. The advantages of a tubocharged car with a small engine (the Accord has a 2 liter) is lighter weight, good gas mileage if you keep your foot out of it and much less weight.

The issue with going off of used car data is it’s a self fulfilling infinite loop. ISeeCars says this car last long Resale value shoots up Car A breaks down, but because of high resale value, it gets fixed and sold. Puts on more miles, moves up the list. Even better future resale. Car B breaks down, and has low resale, repair is more than rock bottom resale, so car is scrapped. No chance to reach high mileage. Moves down list. Resale remains low. I want to see what percent of a model has major power train issues. I’m guessing there is no way to get this. But that’d interesting to see.

[@valdecibessa5362]

That first escape was very good.i still want one..it fells like a tough car

[@MS-mr4zm]

‘89 ford ranger- 291k miles on the original engine and clutch!!!

[@trspotr]

Speaking of the LIST, can you make the list of cars that base grade is absolutely good enough to buy and live with? Seems like base grades are made for rentals only but can you prove me wrong?? 🤔

[@taylorstump5084]

I'm disappointed in my 2022 elantra nline , it's transmission makes me think it's a 16 year old learning how to shift.

[@BowlerActuary]

B2B warranty for Hyundai is 5 year/60k miles

[@scottlawrenceplus]

I bought a used Volvo V70 7 years ago for 10k CDN and still drive it today. Sitting at 265k KMs and no sign of slowing down.

[@ytSuns26]

In the late fifties we used to say. Once the floor mats wore out the car was worthless. Truthfully 60-100,000 was it.

[@BlackhawkPilot]

Drove a 1986 Mercedes 300SLD for 330K miles until T-boned by an UBER driver. Almost 35 years of minimal maintenance beyond oil changes.

[@danmarjenka6361]

The all wheel drive Prius goes 0 - 60 in 7 seconds, and rides smoother than a Corolla.

[@gordonschiff3621]

The new civic is way better.

[@donschiffer7400]

What is the median price of new cars? I suspect that’s a bit lower…

[@VIVACRISTOREY-]

U mean new cars last longer, like my 2020 Silverado 5.3 LT needing engine overhaul for lifter failure at 30k miles

[@ryanb8736]

That’s because it’s a GM.

[@erichubbard7754]

GM just won't give up on cylinder deactivation tech that has had a bad track record even with immaculate maintenance still causes problems

[@davidparkin9017]

The Dodge Challenger AWD would be nice with a 4.0 inline dohc six cylinder with high compression, say 12:1 Making 350 horsepower. I suppose in the mountains you would need a turbocharger.

[@markwhite270]

Not a cheap car but if you take care of them they last.. I have a 2007 Audi A4 3.2 auto at 218,xxx miles, and everting works... Toyota, Honda yes lead the pack but if you just take care of your car or truck they will last longer! great clip guys

[@Jaycat48]

You talked about a Challenger but put up a picture of a Charger. Car guys eh? ;)

[@occasionalquest]

Problem with Hornet is BMW 1X ... the same turbo 2 liter fun to drive ... and much better interrior ... price similar ...

[@davidparkin9017]

Have to respect the CAMRY LE with 28/39 mpg even though the V6 is quicker, that fuel economy hard to pass up these days. Bad features? It is low enough to the ground so that it scrapes on sidewalks, the front doors swing open so far that you need monkey arms to reach the handles. The front spoiler scrapes on parking blocks.

[@jcs480able]

Yeah, that's a huge difference in mileage from the 3.5 V6. Certainly why the Camry V6 of that generation is relatively infrequent. In the RAV4 configuration the mileage discrepancy was much less.

[@GeorgeGeo]

On the Hornet.. its so overpriced its insane.. you can get a full size GT Durango for the same price

[@AdamJayTechnoElectro]

“Corolla, now with that Hybrid and AWD, you can pick one up for like $23.. $24 grand” Um, no. $25,995 is the cheapest MSRP Corolla LE Hybrid AWD

[@Hiluxtaco]

There are so many Honda CRV's my hometown. It's like the vehicle that everyone buys. Young or Old.

[@RonPoulin-p7j]

What about battery disposal, look in to it your going to surprised

[@bjsimon802]

Buy the last 4runner year, they will be worth alot like the FJ. next gen 4cylinder.

[@Abuzac]

Yeah. But most people want a fuel economy vehicle. At least about average does.

[@ryanb8736]

Too many of them to be worth lots of money. Hype is only reason why they started selling a lot lately. The next generation will be such a huge improvement, the older ones will dump.

[@gamersgrubs2952]

That new Buick is going to be on that list in a few years. Mid 20s and decent parts but no power

[@Cure4pd]

you showeda picture of acharger not a challenger

[@haanjamiis]

Still thinking that Toyota should have replaced NiMH with LiFePO battery. Double the energy density and double the lifespan.

[@davidparkin9017]

Sorry, that V6 has very long timing chains that give problems and the plastic timing chain tensioners wear out.

[@usernameisusername]

My favorite part about tfl is how long they take to get to the point so that they can extend the video and make more ad revenue

[@smithjones1906]

My favorite part is reading the stupid comments.

[@Kahless00]

Everyone should be running adblock no matter what. It's dangerous not to.

Frankly I suspect not a single youtuber that reviews cars has ever driven a Kia Hyundai for server years as they all say they are great. As an owner of a kia product, I can say we will never own one again. The SUV was reasonable to purchase, but the cost of ownership is ridiculous. Any time any work needs to be done, it's over priced. It's 2014 now, but the issues started in 2018. As the time went on, the paint clearcoat started peeling, the hatch release work 1/3 of the time, and it burns oil. All items have been looked at by the dealer and we were told it's normal.

QC isn't there for Korean cars, but people keep buying them.

2021 Toyota Tundra with 22k miles at the dealership with valley plate leak not working reliable…. Going be looking to trade it because can’t be doing a leak fix ever 20k miles

[@neilbruce123]

I have 179,000 miles on my Ford Ranger sport and still going strong.
