The 10 Most Reliable Luxury Cars - These Cars Never Die!

The 10 Most Reliable Luxury Cars - These Cars Never Die!
Not every luxury car is unreliable! You can actually find extremely reliable luxury cars from brands like Lexus, BMW, Porsche, Audi, Infinity, and Mercedes. We walk through our most reliable luxury cars list of the top 10 vehicles for reliability.
Some of the luxury cars on this list will surprise you, because there are some luxury brands on this list that normally people associate with unreliability. However, I've done my research and I've found all of the most #reliable #luxury #cars on the planet.
We are always looking for supercars and supercar products to test, drive, and review, so if you would like to see your car, or product on our channel, please contact [e-mail]

I'm shocked he thinks BMW's are the MOST reliable! This makes me wonder about his credibility!

[@glasser2819]

same thing with the Benz E-class ! I guess he makes a difference between high-maintenance cost and low-repair cost reliable. German money-pits are designed to just eat parts unlike Lexus that eat miles

Not all true. Most keyboard kids are too young to know that 80s and 90s Mercedes rivalled Toyota in reliability. The most reliable cars ever made are early 90s Lexus/Toyotas, early 90s Mercedes or early 90s Volvo. The difference is that Toyota kept making reliable cars and Volvo went to Ford. Also BMW never came close to MB's reliability. They shouldn't be named in the same sentence. VAG especially fucked up with the first couple of generations DSG's.

[@wholeNwon]

@@JDYTC Well, I'm no "kid" and had 2 new M-Bs from that era and they were very unreliable. Both had many major mechanical and electrical failures, left me stranded, etc. Even the dealer's loaner suddenly died on a freeway! Yes, both had superb maintenance. Those good old days certainly weren't. Knew the service manage pretty well and asked whether others had similar problems.

"A million bucks, or nothing." *Opens box, and finds it empty.* "See? I wasn't lying." MB's slogan may as well be, "It's a potato...or not." Lexus? Theirs is even dumber (and I say that as a Lexus owner): "The Relentless Pursuit of Perfection." Seriously? They came right out and admitted it? Who the hell pursues something they already have?

I notice from all of my back issues of consumer reports used car guides that the BMWs only show decent reliability for the first 3 or 4 years then their grades go down rather dramatically.

[@user-sw4go6vc5s]

That’s probably due to maintance , if they are on lease u have to maintain it to keep the warranty , once the warranty runs out people stop spending money on them . But they are reliable , trust me , I use mine as a mini cab , and Toyota use a bmw engine so it can’t be that bad

[@zenden6564]

The claim is that BMW have substantially improved their quality control in manufacture in recent years. Well surely it's a bit too soon to say they have got it sorted? Also engine oil turned out to be an issue after they extended service intervals combined with turbos (that highly heat stress engine oil) becoming commonplace. That had many bad effects, like on cam chains for example and engine life in general. I think it is quite telling that in Germany, Castrol make a special (& premium) oil for BMW that Castrol do not make available elsewhere -it is a 100% Type IV PAO based oil. In Australia the head of BMW Service (for Australia) stated to me that longer service intervals are for only under "ideal" use conditions and he personally recommended the traditional change intervals (15k km max) with turbo engines. He specifically stated the 1 year service interval, meant people forget to lift the bonnet occasionally and relied entirely on the digital onscreen reminders & warnings. But while under warranty the service intervals are still annual, not 6 monthly - unless you go the extended warranty then you are obligated to bring it in six monthly, .....ahem, cough.

[@zenden6564]

@footballcoreano ok, but in Australia normal working class person can only afford them after they have depreciated through the lease cycle. US price depreciation is heavier than in Australia and our new prices are double yours in affordability terms. An operating lease of a new 3 series in the USA might be USD $100/week, for the same car here it would be Aud$270+/week.

This list may be relavent for the first 3:years or 50k miles... But in general all of these cars are huge money pits meeting 100k miles. So if you do have the income to keep replacing your luxury card every few years and taking a $40k depreciation bath each time then yes I agree you have a fairly enjoyable experience while paying $1600 for a routine brake job. The ONLY exception is Lexus... A truly objective list would be the entire lineup of Lexus vehicles while laughing at the rest of them.

[@flea10x6]

be aware that some, as BMW and I think Benz are set so if something needs replacement, you must replace ALL of them. not cost effective.

[@ivanvarykino8202]

totally agree J.B. I fell for consumer reports high reliability rating on the A6 about 10 yrs ago. It was a disaster. As you said, at the 3 or 4 yr mark the car was mechanically totaled. And i had everything done exactly on schedule or even more proactively. Name the major component and it was failing - tranny, check. steering rack , check. electrical, check. leaking and burning oil, check. Dumped it as fast as we could. Started by Toyota, Subaru, Honda, and never had a major issue since. I no longer have to worry about owning my cars out of warranty. Hell, i can buy them out of warranty!

[@JB73691]

A4 make sure to carry a gallon of oil in the trunk because you will need it. You don't need oii changes for the A4 you change it as you drive along.

[@zenden6564]

Hi JB. I drive a 2009 A6 with the 3L TFSI engine. It uses about 5mm of oil on the dipstick between change intervals of 8,000kms. The oil used is the recommended German made Liqui Moly 5w-40.

[@JB73691]

@@zenden6564 Well I have a MINI S now so still figuring how much it consumes. Most Audi cars take up oil even when new. I can't imagine how much the R8 with a V10 consumes. LO

[@troythomison9804]

It’s a turbo stupid!!

[@kaje01]

Are these cars getting above 100k miles? I’m reading some Mercedes c300 are getting engine replacements at 50k

[@JDub07]

I've heard great things about the E class Mercs from 2012+ with the 3.5 naturally aspirated engine.

[@ECPP]

Yes

[@elicbdkannaway1271]

The best car that I would buy from this list is the Lexus GS350, which I drove a 2018 model and I loved it fast and responsive. Very good car and reliable.

They are fun are and sound great too,

The front grill on the Lexus GS dope.🔥

[@vinzclortho7766]

I wonder if adding an oil catch can as a way to keep oil out of the intake would help with carbon build up on direct injection engines.

[@jusbus777]

BMW reliable? Please cite your sources.

[@jdawg9481]

Consumer reports. So its by the owners, not by the bi-standards making uneducated comments such as yours.

[@jdawg9481]

@@omb5722 lol. Oh yes, one of those, facts aren't real guys eh. I'm not saying BMW is or isn't reliable in one way or the other. Its varies from year to year, and model to model. Same can be said with Toyota. They've had their very realiable models certain years, and other suffered from some issue just the same.

[@mitaka81]

jusbus777 it depends what the vehicle is used for! If u use them for chicken coops they will be damn reliable! But to ride them on the highway ... not so much

[@jdawg9481]

@@omb5722 Yes,...... Right...... And the boogie man is going to get you while you're asleep too. Get real.. I have actually living breathing friends that own a BMW model, both of different years, and they use them for travel, and have had literally 0 major issues with them. And consumer reports has been around for decades, sooooooo they must be a reliable source to succeed for this long, and has never failed me and anyone else I know either.

[@omb5722]

jdawg9481 let’s just agree to disagree then

[@joeyzasa7383]

I have a GS350 that you cannot kill. Very reliable and smooth car per the engine and transmission. I had an 08 Infiniti G35 that was bullet proof also. With that said my M5 was a dog and in the shop every other week. I can't vouch for any BMW sorry but I do hear some of the 3 series are pretty reliable. I am surprised no Acura made the list either. A Honda not reliable? Say it isn't so!

[@coasternut3091]

I think too many people think "reliable" means "check engine light never comes on". The more luxurious the car, the tighter the tolerances, and the sooner the light comes on. It just comes on for "reduced turbo pressure" or "exhaust sensor questionable". Fords and Chevys don't have lights until "engine on fire"

[@ECPP]

Haha, that’s somewhat true, or Kia’s .

[@0to60_]

Im im the market for a is350 and a 2015 q50 which do you prefer

[@CitrusAviation]

Fabulous list! I really like your list and would have put the Macon up to 2nd or 3rd in reliability as they also hold their value better than any other luxury car. You could pretty much make the entire list out of Lexus cars. 😂 Fir someone looking for a good big luxury SUV, the LX 570 is the way to go for realizability. Also a note DO NOT option air suspension in any German car if you care about reliability. The components break very regularly and are often $1,000+ trips to your mechanic. Now maybe someone can clear this up, but I have heard the A4 is actually very unreliable. They have the carbon build up issue you mentioned but also have premature infotainment system Daimler’s, particularly on 2013 gen models.

[@ECPP]

Thanks a lot for watching

[@nogerboher5266]

Yeah the words ''BMW'' and ''reliability'' shouldn't be used in the same sentence... Ever... Especially the newer F and G line of 3 series and ESPECIALLY 5 series, which are VERY WELL KNOWN here in Europe as ''endless money pits.'' But if you absolutely want a sports sedan, then A MUCH better and a MUCH more reliable alternative would be getting the B9/B9.5 Audi A4 Quattro with the 2.0L engine. Audi transmission and 4WD system on B9/B9.5 A4 models will never break and will never fail, the amount of reported repairs regarding these is less than 2%, you'd have the be the unluckiest person ever to have it fail on you. Also, if you absolutely want reliability and nothing else from your car, then you quite literally have no other choice, other than to get a Toyota, Lexus or Suzuki, especially if we're talking about newer cars. My brother re-sells used cars and owns a pretty large car repair shop chain and the only cars he NEVER has issues with are Lexus' and Toyotas. Also, one of my dads friends just had air suspensions fail while driving on his Porsche and he had $8K in damage on top of $9K for the air suspension and the entire thing cost him $19K to repair... You can buy a new car for that kind of money... Oh and that's $19K with buying a USED PARTS air suspension... Yeah...

[@billmill6221]

The Germs main purpose are to be leased. Not really the cars to go into if u want reliability. As far as I’m concern nowadays they are scamming consumers for money. They will do much better stop. As a luxury brand I question there validity. Because premium should last and not be breaking down like that.

[@ECPP]

It is a bummer that they do not focus more on dependability

[@stephendennis7871]

Can you do a video on the top reliability of normal or ordinary cars as daily runners as you tend to focused on the luxury cars which most people can't afford

[@carolynharveyfoxtrot]

So from the comments I have read, you all are saying this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. At least on some of these cars. “Some are endless money pits.” 😂

There is a KZbin bloger from Ryga, Latvia who is a car mechanic. He works only with BMWs and he knows literally everything about BMWs maintainance, engines repairing. And he everything explains in detail on his videos (in Russian), shows every step how to, for example, replace a gearbox or a timing chain or shock absorber on Bmw X5

The only thing reliable about BMW is it’ll always look good. BMW, Audi, will drain your bank account for repairs. If you want a car like that your really should have a good income to afford it.

Hello it’s 2021 and am looking to get my first luxury car but don’t knw what to get, I live in St Johns Antigua and they don’t hav the best roads here so am looking for a car or SUV. I hav a liking for the Porsche brand

[@hocinetalem7975]

This guy is talking about reliability, in one-year-old cars.

[@Hardcorerado]

The premise of the entire video is off. He seems to base reliability on Consumer Reports, which bases their findings on surveys of people who’ve usually owned their cars less than 2 to 4 years. Talk to those of us who keep and daily drive their cars well beyond 5 years. I agree with Lexus, but you’d be hard pressed to find someone who’s daily driven a BMW or Audi longer than 6 years that would call it reliable. If you do, they’ve meticulously maintained it and aren’t including expensive electrical and mechanical accessory issues in their assessment.

[@naqeebrahman3157]

Hardcorerado I agree with your entire comment

[@smashedcrabface8358]

I wonder how reliable they’ll all be when they’ve reached their 8th birthday. Not very, I’d say.

[@ECPP]

Time will tell.

[@rololoy2]

My 2014 Mercedes E350 has 307,000 on it. I’m an Uber driver. I had to fix a things last year and the biggest one was the timing chain that stretched to much. Otherwise never had any problems, the car still runs good.

Sorry to say this, but I only agree with the lexus. Would like to see all of them after 15 years and 150k miles, bet you those germans will fall apart.

I believe they are getting better and the stats have shown this. Its to large and obscure cars or high performance machines that risk the reliability crown.

My 2009 BMW 3 series has 286,000 km and the engine is running like a clock. Smooth as silk and hugs the road like glue, only thing I've done is use good synthetic oil and premium gas. I've had couple of light bulbs burn but that's about it. It's a naturally aspirated 6 cylinder. Love the car drives amazing

[@williamegler8771]

393k miles not kilometers on a E-Class Mercedes. 240 K on a Audi A-6. German cars are often bought by second and third owners who buy them for their perception of success. They spend all their money trying to impress people but they don't have enough to pay for upkeep.

[@crecasens]

They are getting better to compete.

[@yordy542]

He might be right about bmers, specially those with the 440I engines. I have a 2018 E300 with 56k miles, thank God it has been amazing.

What is really intriguing is, after 30 years of people saying Japanese cars being more reliable and still the German manufacturers didn't buy one to disassemble and find out what is the magic. Another mystery: in Europe, German cars are everywhere, and Japanese cars are minority. Maybe they are not reliable only when driven by Americans.

[@ECPP]

I have heard this before too and maybe there is something to it.

[@don-cw1yz]

How about reliability of the Mercedes Benz B Class? You can pick up a 2015 at a reasonable price under 100K. They are a different type of vehicle but they are interesting to me. Just wondering what years are best ,reliability ,common problems with them.
