Great video. I think you should try including common issues with every car model you present. That way a prospective buyer wouldn't regret purchasing a nice car then finding out it has a heating problem or something else. Keep on the great work.

[@ctthenerd]

Favorite luxury car for $15K? 2011+ Infiniti M35h. It's got arguably the most reliable VQ (the 35HR), coupled with roughly 60hp worth of electrification and I love the door panels and steering wheel. It makes the Lexus GS interior look pedestrian and while keeping up with the Lexus and the Acura TL it will be getting 27/32 fuel economy. Getting 30mpg and running the quarter mile in just under 14 seconds is basically unheard of among sedans north of two tons. The 2011 Mustang V6 was the first car with 300+hp and 30mpg+ highway but even an economical pony car can't touch an M35h in city FE, with the Mustang (also a high 13 second 1320 car) dropping to 19mpg puttering around town.
