Awesome video, you just saved many middle class families from stepping into the biggest pitfalls…vehicles are getting so expensive, research is so crucial.

Sat in a Toyota Highlander for the first time and I was disappointed by how cheap it felt. I sat in a Ford Explorer the next day and it felt like higher quality lol.

Shari,
Thanks for another Great review.

[jasmineprymak]

Your videos such as this one sure saves people an unbecessary expenses. Thanks again Shari!

Good list here @carhelpcorner not many surprises at all. Would to see your list of top ten EVs in terms of performance vs. range vs. reliability.

I agree with your comment about repairing a VW. However, you didn't mention the high cost of maintaining one. Servicing is very expensive. Shame. like their cars but can't afford to run one.

You North Americans classify these as mid size, in Australia they’re classified as HUGE. Our midsize are Honda CRV, RAV4, Audi Q5, Mazda CX5, you guys call them compact.

Excellent Video! How about Hyundai Palisade ?

What do you think about the cadillac XT6 ?

[mansooransari]

Can you please do something on the Armada

Hi, do you research safety recalls prior to making these videos? I believe the Honda Pilot has had a few. Also, although the Grand Highlander looks nice, I think it's too soon to know how reliable it is because it hasn't been around long - do you agree?

[victormendoza]

Great video and valuable information. Without being an expert, I completely agree with the choices. For some reasons the best brands are Japanese, which has to do with the culture of honor and pride in doing things with good quality to satisfy customers. The Korean brands have done very good progress but still lagging behind. I have the impression that Kia and Hyundai emphasize attractiveness more than functionality and reliability. The opposite happens for example with a Toyota 4Runner, in my opinion one of the top 5 most reliable vehicles ever made.

Starting at well under $40kUSD,
the Pilot is a GREAT option. But not for the "bling" minded customer. This is a 100% Family Adventure vehicle. Its RESALE VALUE says it all. Rarely did a Pilot find itself on the 30+ days level on any Aging Sheet (Dealer List of all cars on the Dealer's lot, by days unsold") at dealerships l worked at.

I would stay away from the 2023 Honda pilot, it gets absolutely terrible gas mileage in town. 17L/ 100 km in summer and 25L/100km in winter. I took it into the dealership because I thought something was wrong with it. I’m not an aggressive driver and no excessive idling and no pre- warming. They said there was nothing wrong with it. It is supposed to get 12.7L/100km in town.

Pilot has Honda 's new silky-smooth 10-speed. Passport and Ridgeline have the old ZF 9-speed with clunky dog clutches.

Amazing that people still buy some of these horrible brands.

[davidcunningham]

When evaluating vehicles, one must consider availability. It seems Toyota is still stuck in the middle of the COVID crisis. The wait time for a RAV4 is more than a year and is probably longer with no guarantees of a delivery date. That’s unacceptable and no matter the purported superior quality of Toyota’s fleet, if you can’t get one when you need one, then comparisons are largely moot. We opted for a 2023 Mazda CX-5 6 months ago and are very happy with it. Both local Mazda dealers had the trim level we wanted when we wanted it.

[PazLeBon]

best car or truck to haul 2 horses 1000 miles? under 10k? :) considering v8 range rover but... well, the buts. 75 grand bit rich for me mate

[bruceleeroy]

To sum it up. Stick with Japanese brands

[geraldguerrero]

24 passport V6 no turbo regular fuel. No frills but smooth and steady
4Runner 16 MPGs downhill. Reliable engine agree
Fun factor? Ok
