I work as a mechanic at audi and it is so clear that quality worsens with every year, and audi is still one of the better ones….youd think that cars get better over the years but they really dont. The newer audis are mereley a farcry of what the brand used to make.

Hi ! Am a considering a 2018 Porsche Cayenne 3.0 v6 gasoline used at 35k miles, Porsche serviced , looks in great condition. Am not a rich guy, don't wanna mess with huge repair bills that are unjustified.. What's your though on this car (I think the Cayenne engine is Audi made 😄) ? Thanks !!

[@7Li0ns]

Bmw is no. 8th in the top most reliable according to consumer survey, look it up. Audi and Merc are 26& 28... But there have been a bunch of bad engines from bmw, and expensive repairs on F10 or X5 for example, so you prob got one of those infamous engines... since 2014 bmw seems to have improved a lot. It all depends what you compare, even Toyota and Lexus are not as reliable on diesel engines, just gasoline.

I own X5 and X3. They are performance cars They are robust and long lasting as long lasting if you do regular maintenance

I remember how everyone hated Peugeot 407, my father bought one in 2013 an early 2004 model with 1.6 HDI with about 270 000 kms on it, we still own it, he wont change it, bcs of comfort he says and super low consumption, it has 440 000 kms now, no issues, never leaked and i abused the living thing out of it as my first car and nothing, just regular maintenance, changed clutch once in our ownership at around 330 000.

[@Retrox1989]

Got the new Astra in July last year, it lasted 5 months and then the entire electrical system shit the bed. Its still at the dealership waiting for parts.

[@wholeNwon]

The algorithm brought me here. Some of the brands you listed are not available in the US (happily) but, among those that are, IMHO, you nailed it. The otherwise inexplicable popularity of Jeeps is due to the desire of fat, old, bald men in bill caps to be considered battle-hardened soldiers ready for combat. Honest, that's it. If they painted them olive green and put machine gun mounts on top, they'd sell even more.

[@CarTrouble]

[@numberstation]

Cars aren’t bought and owned the way they were in the past, they’re essentially rented for a couple of years and moved on. Manufacturers encourage this to increase sales (they don’t want you buying one of their cars and actually KEEPING it!) so they only have to build a car that lasts as long as the first finance agreement. Beyond that, it’s someone else’s problem and if it fails before the warranty expires they can always argue about it. Essentially, cars are now made to last 3 years, yet we keep being told how much “greener” they now are which is absolute crap. The greenest thing to do is build cars that last 200k miles at least. I’ve learned that whenever I ask myself why something is the way it is, the answer is nearly always the same: Money.

SO GLAD you have Peugeot on your list as I have a 308. Whoo hoo! Made the cardinal sin of filling it with fuel with a HIGHER octane than recommended and even so it broke down after driving 10 feet! It drops more oil than Exxon so I can always find it in a car park which is great! French cars sell in miniscule numbers in Oz. I understand why now. After reading an edition of "Wheels" magazine some years back and then buying one I thought I was buying a good product. I wasn't...and I didn't. Thanks Peugeot! You used to build some great models (205 GTi, 504, 404) but now you build merde. I hope your company goes down the proverbial backyard dunny!

If 'Wheels' recommends something it's not likely to be much good. They exist for the car companies and even had the cheek to say it (but got caught out).

I bought my used 2017 Astra 1.5 years ago. No troubles yet. And my 2005 Astra before that was a very good car that I bought in 2010. They are dirt cheap compared to similar Golfs. But I cannot see they are worse by any means, especially looking at friends cars.

[@jamestown4867]

Look at the history of Carlos Ghosn’s leadership. He obliterated the quality of many proud names including Nissan by using cheap parts and initially capitalizing on brand loyalty while giving no concern to the future of the company when he knows he’ll be long gone when even staunch followers noticed the severe drop in quality and reliability. His criminal activity is also in question.

I was driving on the highway when it happened, a sudden message popped up in the panel “service engine” and the injector icon turned on in the panel. The the engine started cutting down when the pointer gets near 2k and I could not go faster than 40-50km/h on the highway. It was not the first issue I had with this car, but it was the first to put my life in danger. I’m selling it asap

[@rickadlam7467]

Haven't changed my cars in 25 years, but no surprises on this list. Jeep were death traps in WW11, Alfa's and Fiats were crap in the sixties, and only Italians in Adelaide ever bought them. Datsun became Nissan, and then partnered with the French for the hardware? And all German cars now make plastic parts, to save weight, including plastic manifolds. Will they last 5 years? I drive a 1998 Holden Commodore, and it still runs like new. The climate in Queensland Australia helps.

[@CarTrouble]

The 90s Holden Commodore's were solid cars. Very similar to the European Opel/Vauxhall Omega donor car, but with proper, over engineered V6's and V8s, rather than the wheezy 1.8 and 2.0 straights 4s we got. Although we did get a 3.0 V6 but not as many sold. Your car is in the durability class of Toyota Camry and Lexus ls400, keep it forever!

When you have driven your car for five years, and never checked Oil or Water, and (yet) you have confidence to drive it anywhere, you have a good car! I only check tyre pressures - and charge it overnight. So why are car Manufacturers sitting pretty - producing (almost) disposable cars? Things never used to be this way. Too much plastic / Wet Belts INSIDE the engine. I have owned the same car for 20 years. I will never change it. Most Car Manufacturers today are not 'greening the Planet' at all. Early Volvos / Mercs / Fords were built to last. They were simple to fix. All of this has now gone. I drive a 1971 VW Super Beetle - converted to EV. I never tire of the thrill to get behind the wheel. No depreciation and 100% reliable. And I love it!

[@user-jb7uz4hs2i]

I had to smile as Volkswagen was not mentioned here! I recently purchased a Passat CC 2.0 TDi and I adore it, beautiful car! But arguments aside, I think much about how reliable a car is, this is about good timely maintenance schedule , proper servicing and periodic checks on service items. The reality is, any machine is only as reliable as how often you attend to its upkeep.

Yes, I think the top 10 swap out every year as there are at least 15 crap car manufacturers to choose from. VW's recent reputation was news to me as I still have 2 VW diesels from the '98 - 2003 period. Old school bulletproof...

Clutch on the aygo, my other Toyota went too and that also needed new springs at 28k. Not something that I've experienced but ... Ecoboom. Cam belt on Citroens.

[@frankk.7977]

In my opinion, the problems with vehicles started when politics got involved with more and more regulations regarding consumption and the regulation of CO2 emissions.

[@ivanzd50]

I am sure you have your methods of compiling this list and I will not say it is rubbish, but I will offer my experience on one brand. I had a transport company for ten years and always had exlusively Fiat Ducato and Doblo, and for private use Grande Punto and Tipo. I (and other drivers) traveled Europe many times over with both the Ducatos and the Doblo and never had any hint of an issue, Doblo currently has 350000 km and is used privately without a fail. The Grande Punto once took me from Zadar (coast of Croatia) to Southampton almost without stops, it was a very unpleasant ride as the car was not bulit for such long trips but I had no issues whatsoever, the Punto is now retired with 300000+ km. The Tipo has 250000km and I am currently selling it because I dont need it any more but is still a very good reliable car. I just bought a Mercedes GLE, own it for two months so cant really say much about reliability (aside from one issue that I had) but overall I am extremely sattisfied with the comfort, driving, economy, ... The issue that I had is a glass between the windshield and the panorama roof shattering on its own (I found this happend to a lot of people, probably a design flaw) and I am taking it to the dealer tomorrow to see if the warranty covers it.

The worst BY A MILE is my current SUBARU XV 2013. at 60k mls all 4 wheel bearings, 65k main prop shaft, took of under trays full of crap, only 50% of the underbody had been rust treated at the factory, every single pipe/cable hangar was rotted away, rot everywhere. 70k both front trailing arms, both front wishbones. 72.5k complete rear suspension structures, front caliper, both front discs. Not a single garage will work with CarCarePlan warranty so all paid by myself.

[@CarTrouble]

Wow. I'm shocked by your Subaru experience! I thought they were doing it right.. I hope it works out.. Thanks for watching. 👍

I am kind of surprised that Mercedes is on your list. I have a C200 that I’ve had for 14 years and I haven’t had a single issue other than normal wear and tear. I realize my account is anecdotal, but still kind of shocking.

[@MisAnnThorpe]

Alfa's infamous unreliability is at this stage actually considered a selling point!

My 2009 Jaguar XF Supercharged had transmission and rear diff problems after 80,000 miles. It's in the garage. My 2018 Jaguar F-PACE S with 64,000 miles has been bullet proof. It's my daily driver.

[@CarTrouble]

Good to know. I did a video on the F-Pace and I was quite surprised.. Its here if you're interested kzbin.info/www/bejne/eXWweZZjhtOlr9k

[@ChrisTian-lf2oh]

64,000 miles and “bullet proof”? Is that like… good numbers for a Jag? 😂

[@frederickherring2284]

Somebody in Sydney, Aus Bought a Jeep, dunno what kind of Jeep, about aeven or eight years ago. He had so many issues, and spent so much money on it, that he did a RAP video on UTube and posted it. Dunno if he got sued thoug, and it was very descriptive.

[@flgzay6208]

Great video! By the way what do you think of GMC? Would you say it’s a reliable car brand?

[@CarTrouble]

Thanks for that, I wouldn't like to say, we don't really have GMC over here..

[@trance9158]

If you're wanting the top of the line General Motors truck then GMC is the way to go.

[@luisnejez1232]

I never tend to buy newer cars rather wait for the model to be at least 6 or 7 years in the market to see the common issues and repair costs.

[@Chapps1941]

I've owned Peugeot for 40 years and they've been brilliant. Modern ones do have electronic issues but everything else is good. The older ones are legendary reliability and durability

[@desubtilizer]

Nissan but no Renault or Mitsubishi even though they joined forces in 1999 I do believe Mitsubishi has got better having seen some engine teardowns of the cheap Mitsubishi Mirage with close to 500, 0000kms on the clock in remarkably good condition.

I bought a Mercedes cla 200 after I had a Mercedes c220cdi cdi and was appalled about the poor quality of the car, flimsy plastics and just poor all over. I sold the car in disgust and bought a Toyota corolla which at half the price is 200% better. My father drove a lot of Mercedes in the past and they were bulletproof but the new generation sucks big time all flashy but underneath pure crap.

[@KubanKevin]

I once asked a nice highly modified wrangler owner if his Jeep was reliable. He said “no, but there is a way to make it reliable. Step 1: buy it new. Step 2: do all the recommended maintenance. And step 3, the most important step: don’t modify it”

[@joeneri150]

I am surprised Maserati didn't make it to the list.

[@cabottaxi]

Had 2 BMWs since 2015 and never skipped a beat. Service them regularly, look after them and do preventative maintenance on them. Power washed underneath, detail the bodywork and they come up a treat. One thing I notice is the bodywork on BMW is FAR superior to Toyota , Nissan Vauxhall etc.

[@Sabundy]

Wait......FORD has hardcore fans? 😅😂 In South Africa we call them First On Rubbish Dump.

[@guyh8356]

I have had many Jaguars and been lucky and not really had any issues but high mileage and regular use on an XJ is a good combination. The Range Rover Velar is another story. Oil leaks, poor paint flaking everything. Such poor electronics (never buy a first gen anything as a top tip !) to the point that loosing all dashboards and lights in the middle of the night is fun.... Needless to say the Velar is more than gone and £60k loss in the process never again. But I did buy one of the last XJ 50s - my 5th one of that series and now 3 years old. Shame there is nothing out there to replace it with Jaguar or otherwise - most brands have really lost the plot on quality.

[@CarTrouble]

I totally agree, something went very wrong in the late 00's. ...£60k loss? ouch, how did that happen?

[@guyh8356]

@@CarTrouble Was a nearly new Velar and ended trading it in just to get out of it the depreciation was spectacular and the poor paint meant that it lost most of its value - lost all the oil twice - who thought plastic bungs were a good thing in an engine - nuts

[@stuart7245]

BMW a massive miss on this list. When I retired I bought a new BMW 520 estate and it was the most unreliable car I ever had. If the temp dropped below zero the driver door froze shut. Dangerous problem that they know about and eventually fixed after a few years of complaining. Air suspension failed and collapsed the rear ended a number of times. Eventually BMW gave an 80% discount on a part that should not have failed. Sadly that was not the end of the problem as rear suspension blew the fuse and collapsed every time the temp got below zero. Interior trim looked nice but the leather on the door wore through where I pushed the door open. Not a reliability issue just a quality one. When I complained to BMW they said they used the highest quality leather which was a lie as that would mean that their leather was on a par with Rolls Royce etc.

[@OriginalStachuJones]

I wonder Focus for 4 years - nothing happened to me, except from dynamic led fault, fixed under warranty. But I guess Ford is not the best company. Currently i own Ford Kuga FHEV and i do like it. Awaiting RAV4 to arrive in 2 weeks

[@CarTrouble]

It'll be interesting to know if the RAV4's are still bulletproof or if Toyota are going the way of all the others..

[@paullacey2999]

You know why cars are they way they are now?Accountants.... And car makers not wanting their product to last so you buy another

[@jkosh2046]

I had a 09 altima and it was ok. Bought it used and had it for 2years amd Didn't have any problems really. I got rid of it because I knew there were issues right around the corner. Traded it for a brand new sentra and that car was awful. I regretted buying that car almost immediately. My first car was a 87 maxima and that car could not be killed. That car had a ton of miles on it. I traded our sentra for a Camry se in 2018 and we still have it and it has been a great car. Ended up buying a tacoma less than a year latter and its awesome. I'll never buy Nissan again. No idea why I didn't buy toyota sooner. We have 5 toyotas now.

[@kingwong597]

I'm just so surprised that BMW is killing it. I've heard the b58 is one hella reliable engine. By the end of the year i will be pulling the trigger on a x3 m40i with that engine.

[@CarTrouble]

Nice! Thanks for watching!

[@TheGecko213]

[@opencarry3860]

I knew going in that VW reliability was poor, but here I am going on 9 years on my Golf MK7 3-door running a stage one tune with zero mechanical failures so far.

[@darylpike8547]

Hahaha 😄 😆 😂 brilliant. I do agree with you about this. I worked for fiat, back in the 80s so I know how bad they are! I also have a range rover sport 4.2 supercharged, now that now has an idling problem which still hasn't been resolved even though its been in the garage for 18months. I also have hhe bentley continental gtc, which has a lot of issues which need to be fixed, like the boot. It's lo ked me out and won't open!

[@CarTrouble]

Hi Daryl, the boot issue happened to me too, I'm not sure if you already know, but there's a manual release on the inside of the boot lid, you can get to it through the rear seats. It glows in the dark too, like they know the bootlid would fail!

[@richardgiles2484]

Funny thing is. Renault dropped it's 5year warranty and gone back to 3years. Can't think why mind 😂😂 so we picked up a nice six month old clio with the ballance of the five year warranty and saved about £3k. Also they said it would only be EVs soon and we DEFINITELY didn't want an EV 😂😂😂😂
