And this is why I buy my vehicles 3 years later. That's when most of the leases are coming back so they usually only had 1 lease owner and they are generally maintained well. The issues have been raised and generally fixed in those 3 years and most importantly, that insane price tag when it's new is no longer a problem because they depreciate to a reasonable point by the 3 year point

[@Xander1Sheridan]

it's amazing how much some of these things depreciate. Some of them are half price 3 years later.

FINALLY a car reviewer who knows what he's talking about! I watch a lot of car reviews from guys like Doug Demuro and their assessment of cars is based on limited and short-term aspects like ease of infotainment systems, cupholders and driving experience. These cars can look better, drive better, have more interior room and seem more upscale than the likes of Lexus and Acura. But many car reviewers either ignore the reliability aspect or are not knowledgeable about them from an engineering perspective. Any vehicle can look good for the first 2 years. It's what happens after that period that separates the pack. Amateur car reviewers (which I would consider Dough Demuro as one) are easily smitten by the "bling" factors that these vehicles have.

[@melv1n_official]

Doug DeMuro is first and foremost a car enthusiast. His scoring system is biased towards cool, modern enthusiast cars typically with lots of features. He sometimes emphasize that in some of his videos. In fact, he even mentioned that reliability is not even part of his personal top 10 priority list. He occasionally reviews typical commuter cars. He likes it for what it is but we all know he’d never consider owning one. Another thing is that I don’t agree that Doug is an amateur car reviewer. He owned more than 30 cars by far throughout his entire life from manufacturers across Europe, US, Japan and Korea and that allowed him to have credibility in his reviews.

[@ladas1106]

Owing 30 cars doesn't make you a car expert. With today's technology, any Tom, Dick and Harry with a video camera can do a car review. I find Dough's videos entertaining but would never make my purchasing decisions based on his opinion. @@melv1n_official

I'll give you one. It's a 6,000 lb suv with a 4-cylinder 250 horsepower engine. Do the math. Its severely underpowered and will be stressed out, meaning will need repairs under 100k miles. The 450 is worth the money but costs 90k. Thats why all you see are gle350s sitting at lots. People give em back. Imagine that your new Mercedes is struggling to even overtake without flooring it. Garbage.

People won't pay 45k for a car that is unreliable and has bad ratings. But you double that price and slap on a luxury badge on it and people would say it's a work of engineering wonder. Same goes for looks. You take an ugly car and people will say it's ugly. You slap on a luxury label on it and jack up the price and people will say it's beautiful. Smh.

[@msk3905]

Yeah right they would rather pay $100k for an unreliable car, I see countless Range Rovers on the road.

[@shbli0411]

I don't think it's generally true. People who can actually afford luxury brands still have a wide range of personal opinions of design/product/look and they certainly aren't inflated by brand logos - remember it's still a competitive market. A good example is BMWs - their SUVs and performance machines are getting more expensive year after year, but a good majority of luxury brand owners, many of who long-time bimmer owners themselves still despise the new hideous design. Honest truth is admiration for 'luxury bedge' usually comes from those who can't really afford one.

[@stop_lying_bro]

Spend some time with proper Luxury vehicles and you'll learn it's not just a badge or status. We tend to criticize the things we don't understand.

[@bubbalo3388]

@@stop_lying_bro I've spent time in luxury vehicles. Yeah some have really nice interiors or have performance. But still doesn't change the fact that most people wouldn't pay like 150k for a G Wagon badged by Buick. And it wouldn't turn heads and have people drooling over it. People would call it an ugly box with no thought put into the design and who would pay 150k for a Buick? And if it's unreliable people would definitely not want it. But since it's a status symbol everyone wants one.

How can you say there is a performance problem with the Aviator hybrid? 500 HP and 600 lbs of torque gets you to 60 MPH in 5 seconds! We bought one of the 150 built in 2019. We drove it across the US multiple times and everywhere in between with minimal glitches. The biggest problem was a module that knocked out the safety stuff related to the active cruise control that knocked it back to old world cruise until we got it home. It almost got broken into at a nice Marriott in front of the office! They never got inside but damaged the side of the door frame. 25 other cars on the lot were nailed including 10 national guard trucks there for a seminar. We plug it in every night and drive it most days for errands and day trips around town. It’s wonderful to only fill it up every 6-8 weeks! Since we only pay 9 cents per KWH for electricity fuel is almost free! We get average 23 miles on electric then 24-27 in city with 32 on the highway at 75 MPH! Not bad for a 5800 LB car! My wife loves driving it even in a 50MPH crosswind. She only has to use two fingers. Don’t get me started on describing the fantastic seats with 32 different seat settings and of course, massage functions. Sound? 22 speakers. Enough said.

[@khaleefax9553]

It’s nice to hear someone who knows what they are talking about, and not just reading something while mispronouncing names constantly. As a car enthusiast, these are exactly the cars I would have put on the list. I thought it was brilliant to point out that if you have to have a GM, avoid the Escalade and go for the lesser models (which are the same suv) and avoid some headaches. Very true. My advice, if anyone care, is only buy old school. GMs only through 2006 and Ford SUV’s are excellent through 2014. Never anything from Land Rover, volvo, infinity, Nissan or Chrysler (including Jeep). Toyotas are hit or miss, but mostly hit. Honda’s can be great but they don’t make big suvs. I have a 2012 Lincoln Navigator with an old fashioned v8, And a “92 Toyota landcruiser with a straight 6 and 300,000 miles that runs perfectly

Thank you for your accurate review!! I knew LandRovers had to show up on this list as I was watching and eagerly awaiting. I own a LandRover LR 2013 that has been the worst vehicle that I have ever owned in my entire car history. I'm donating the vehicle to charity and would never give it to anybody in the family is how bad it is. I love the external appearance of the LandRovers only but will never purchase this brand again. These are just some of the problems: the running front headlights bulbs (both right and left) would go out every 3 to 4 months that cost $200 for each bulb at the dealership, the heater blower motor went out and the air conditioner stopped working, the steering wheel leaked fluids multiple times after getting it repaired, the brakes squeaked after getting new brakes/struts installed at the dealership ( I was told by the dealership that the brakes squeaked because I didn't have genuine LandRover brakes/struts installed. I only had repairs done at the two different LandRover dealerships. What the hell!!! I had to get major engine work done that cost $4,000+., etc..... The repairs total cost just as much as I paid for the vehicle. Goodbye LandRover and Hello Toyota/Lexus.

When I started my vacation in Maritime Canada, I was given a 2023 Grand Cherokee that didn't have a lot of mileage on it. When I returned it 2 1/2 weeks later, I vowed NEVER to not only buy one, but not even accept a Grand Cherokee as a rental again. Even if it's a free upgrade! For such a pricey vehicle, it drove like a truck on the highway where it sometimes felt like you were fighting it to keep it in a straight line. It was noisy, the infotainment system was a hot mess and confusing. The electronics were quirky with the electronic parking brake having a mind all it's own. The gas mileage was terrible, and the interior had a very cheap feel to it. I was never so happy to get home to my Nautilus.

[@jelwood1956]

I disagreed with the conclusion on the Cadillac Escalade. I currently own one which is absolutely the best SUV that I’ve ever owned compared to other GMC SUVs like the Dinali and BMW X6 M50i.

[@ashegheaty]

The BMW X5 is so so awesome , the new 2024 models are so badass so are the porsches but the porshe is too much money .

[@Ocktober03]

That’s why I love my BMW, even though people always say it’s the worst with repairs which I have yet to experience in my 15+ years of owning them.

[@tartantexan007]

I had a Range Rover Evoque. Great car to drive and I loved it until things went wrong. Maybe it was my dealer, they weren’t the greatest in customer service. However after having an issue with the passenger seat splitting at under a year old and being told it was wear and tear, we had to fight to get it replaced. We even went to Range Rover head quarters with our fight. It took over a year to get it fixed and only because we took it to the BBB to report them. Once fixed I drove it straight to the Audi dealership and traded it for a Q7. I’ve driven Audi ever since. Their customer service makes it hard to go elsewhere and I do love their vehicles.

Another one who agrees with this list other than the QX80. For the last 30 years, I have had 1 Tahoe, 1 Yukon, 1 Yukon Denali, 1 Escalade and 2 navigators (one being the previous body style and one being a 2019), and a QX80. In my experience, the worst of the bunch was the Escalade and GM’s refusal to correct obvious flaws. The newer Navigator was gorgeous and comfortable, but at 68,000 miles it needed CAM phases replaced for the third time and was literally falling apart. So out of all the above, the QX80 has been the best overall. Don’t get me wrong, it’s an older platform, but just because something maybe old doesn’t mean it’s not good. It has a naturally aspirated V8, is quick, quiet, comfortable and I enjoy driving it more than any of the others. No start/stop or cylinder deactivation to muck up the engine, no turbos, no high stress at all. It’s simple, proven and just works. I do agree that asking 90k for the top trim Sensory is a little on the crazy side, but you can’t touch the top spec LX, Navigator or Escalade for at least 40k more. However, gently used (I’m talking 1 year old, less than 5k in miles) you can get these for mid sixties, which, for that amount of money, might just be the best value out there. On paper, both my Escalade and navigators were far better than the QX80 in every conceivable way. However, once behind the wheel, the experience was the exact opposite. There is just an a not easy to describe quality to it that doesn’t show on paper. Talk to owners. Almost every one that I have talked to or seen on the forums, think this is an incredible vehicles. Countless people have owed 3 or 4 all with very high mileage and minimal repairs. One other thing to note is my experience is with the top of the line sensory trim. That is the only trim that has the hydraulic body motion control system. From what I have read, that vastly improves the ride quality, thus some of my remarks may not be as applicable to the lower trim levels.

[@dannysdailys]

Range Rovers, LOL. My dentist bought one brand new and it spent the first 6 months in the shop. He got rid of it while it was still in the shop. So what did he buy after that? And brand new Jaguar, which also spent the majority of the year he owned it in the shop. Now he owns a "G" wagon and is looking to get rid of that as well. The "G" wagon is at least reliable, but he doesn't like the rest of it.

[@davcuts2897]

Not one BMW on the list. BMW seems to be doing a way better job of making their cars more reliable. To top it off they even have a very high owner satisfaction rate. They are still expensive to get serviced, but because of their high owner satisfaction, and Consumer Reports rating I took a chance and bought a MINI. BMW also improved their reliability and owner satisfaction. I still know when the warranty is over and it needs to be serviced, the cost will be high, but right now BMW seems to be doing what few European car manufactures are, and that is not only making a car that is fun to drive, but one that spends more time on the road and less at the dealership being serviced.

Once you purchase expensive car, always expect expensive-car maintenance as well. Otherwise, settle for offerings from the Japanese or Korean manufacturers if you prioritize reliability and longevity.

[@codincoman9019]

Lexus is a counter-example of what you declared. By default, any generalization is stupid, therefore is preferable to abstain from making one. Korean cars cannot be placed near the very reliable top Japanese cars, most of them are lemons.

So, Mr Everythingsux, which luxury SUVs are good?

[@jsfbay1]

To be fair, a Grand Cherokee is a great weekend off-roading vehicle, the best in the business (well, Jeep in general.) Just buy an extended warranty ;-)

[@Stekopo]

If you are going to buy an expensive car you would want better reliability then Jeep statistically offers. They are good when they work, but its very aggravating and expensive to always having to have it fixed and that is more prevalent in Jeep then what is expected in general.

[@OBrandt-i5c]

When it comes to the European brands, I don’t think reliability is the biggest aspect per se., but the astronomical repair costs, if something does need to be fixed. I am on my 3rd Mercedes brand-new E-class wagon (currently the 2022 E450 All-Terrain Wagon) and never had any repair situation (changing tires, wiper-blades or brake-pads excluded) with any of my cars, and I keep them for the long term (10+ years). I do take meticulous care of all of my cars.

[@fram4246]

According to Shari, only Lexus/Toyota & Acura, we should buy.

[@3mr136]

And Genesis

[@codincoman9019]

Shari's opinions don't matter against facts. The Consumer Reports reliability studies, Mechanics' reports on TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) do matter. Because the reality shows that the top Japanese cars are the best. Cars like Toyota Corolla, Land Cruiser, Lexus UX and RX, Mazda Miata, CX-5, Suzuki Jimny etc. are among the best cars you can buy. German (except Porsche, which is too expensive), Korean, Italian, American, Chinese (even those presented as Swedish or British) clunkers are lemons.

[@reneeharrell7075]

I agree from my research with the Lexus/Toyota brands. I didn't research Acura.

I think anyone who buys an American or German vehicle is a masochist. Surveys after surveys have shown these cars to be absolute garbage. You could not give me a car to drive with a Chrysler badge on it. How Infinity is still afloat is beyond me. Of course there is the exception but certainly not the norm. I watch many car reviews and many fail to talk about reliability, like Redline Reviews or Alex On Autos. If people are going to spend big bucks on a car they should have access to reliability data. Thank you for this. Always inspiring.

It’s silly to just say “German” as they all don’t have the same issues, which is why every German luxury suv wasn’t on this list…

[@SilverH1]

I am not an Infiniti fan, but your analysis of QX50 is entirely wrong. First of all, this is not the smallest SUV of Infitinti. Second of all, I have kept it in the past. It is a highly comfortable and smooth SUV that is extremely balanced at high speeds and has a well-refined and proven VC Turbo engine. It's also not very noisy. The engine is smooth, and the SUV seems to be floating while driving. I agree that it lost its market appeal due to outdated technology, but I liked this SUV. If I compare it with a BMW X3 or an AMG GLC43, which I have also kept, I would say that the BMW and Mercedes are better in many ways, but the QX50 is more reliable and trouble-free. Jeep is not a luxury SUV. These days, many consumer SUVs are touching luxury prices. That does not mean that they have become luxury SUVs. Also, GM's SUVs are some of the world's most unreliable SUVs, especially Taho and Yukon. By the way, Taho and Yukon are not luxury SUVs so a person who is out there to buy a luxury SUV like Cadillac would never go for Taho or Yukon. I have one last suggestion, I think GLE is not that bad that you would put it at number 2 of SUV avoidance list. In my opinion, it should be replaced with BMW X3 30i.

[@damilolaakanni]

For now, the QX50 is the smallest crossover that Intiniti makes, along with the QX55 (they're on the same platform). It used to be the QX30 which they made with Mercedes-Benz, but that has been discontinued.
