When you're spending big money on a luxury car, you want to know that it's going to last and that it's going to be one of the most reliable vehicles. However, today I'm showing you 5 vehicles that are bad to buy (from my perspective) and that are some of the worst cars to own.

I'll say it again, Germany's revenge towards the US for WWII is Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes. Ironic that General Motor's Hummer, made for battlefield and the perils of a Walmart parking lot alike, could not defeat them at the repair front! And India's revenge against English rule? Tata buys Jaguar! Cherrio!

I LOVE my Acura MDX. Thing drives so smooth! Feels like a Mercedes’ on the inside with a Japanese motor under the hood. Love it !!!!

I had a co worker who brought a new Atlas the first year of introduction. That vehicle stayed in the shop every couple of months. The only thing that saved her was the vehicle was still under warranty.

The smile fades when you see your beloved car in the list 😟

Funny you bring up the Giulia. My friend bought one last year and I sh*t you not, it started having break downs at under 10k miles. By the time he got to 15k miles he had 4 separate engine and transmission issues. It was so bad that he hired a lawyer and successfully got rid of the thing via Minnesota Lemon Law.

You want to take a guess what he bought after he got a full refund? Another Giulia (his logic was that he got unlucky with the first one. Granted, the second one lasted until 17k miles before the car went into limp mode and he had to wait a month before the dealer would look at it. Lucky for him, he still kept his old Acura, which was still running well with 250k+ miles.

The limp mode issue was "fixed" a month or two ago and so far nothing new has happened, but I know there will be another issue with it soon.

I have a 2012 X5 3.5 n55. Got somewhat lucky on the buy - found one 8 years old with 1 owner 64K miles, no air suspension, had to have been kept in a garage. Now has 107k miles. One big repair for all 3 oil gaskets and water pump (about $5k). Replaced cracked coolant tank myself. If you buy one of these, assume those items will need to be done. Everything else pretty normal maintenance. Assuming I’ll need to replace Vanos in the future, but no issues there yet. Love the car. Again, if you buy one of these that has depreciated a lot, expect to spend some money on repairs.

Bought my first car in 1973, a Chevy Nova, 6 cylinder automatic, only option…..rear window defroster.
The day I got it I had rust proofing, and put on radial tires.
Car is still on road all original power train with NO major repairs .
Currently 788, 217 km ……how is that for reliability

Sad that this kind of information does not get around to many people. So many people have no idea about the reliability issues plaguing many European brands like range rover, jaguar, vw group etc and ofcourse hyundai kia.

As a Touareg owner, I’m saddened by the Atlas. They dropped the ball hard. Touareg is an incredible vehicle, the Atlas was supposed to replace it, but it failed miserably. People are leaving VW for American and Japanese versions.

Unacceptable when dishonesty and unreliability is the model of a company. Hoping to maintain forgiving customers. Shameful. Thank you for sharing your content & research 🇨🇦

I can visualize the surprise in the trash collectors when their truck pulls up to a dumpster...and there's a VW Atlas sticking out of it!

Had an Audi A6 and it was a money pit. Constant oil leaks, water pump failures, suspension failures. German cars are not made well. It always seemed to come down to poorly made parts that involved plastics/polymers. Or rubber parts.

[kevingraham]

Excellent commentary & information on the expensive repair issues with the vehicles mentioned 👏🏾

Our 2015 BMW X5 35i has been one of the most reliable vehicles we ever owned. We had extended warranty on it and never really ended up using it. Oil changes every 5000km. The car has 165, 000km BTW
No problems !!!!
A couple of my friends have this vehicle too (2014-2018) no issues.
In the market good ones that are 2014 with 100, 000km plus are no less than $25, 000CDN in the market, not bad for a 8-9 year old vehicle !

One of my neighbors has a BMW X5 sitting in his driveway. He’s been trying to get it to run for about six weeks. He’s had friends come over, experts etc. no one can get it to work. I told him yesterday he should sell it for parts. I was being serious and he actually thought it was a good idea. BMWs are garbage.

‘16 3 series with the “dreaded” n20. Maintain myself, oil changes and all other fluids like clockwork. Other preventative maintenance and changing out failure prone parts like charge pipe and plastic coolant flange. Just passed 90k miles and has been an absolute pleasure and joy. No issues.

I sold high end luxury cars for 20 years. Mostly Japanese cars however I did move to Jaguar for a short while. They had 5000 unadvertised rebates on some of the entry model units. Hated selling those junks. I preferred the early Infinities and Lexus models.

[damilolaakanni]

Water pump issues seem to be a common problem with Volkswagens, regardless of the year. I had water pump issues with my 2002 MK4 Golf earlier this year as well.

[alfatech]

You can do a lot worse than a BMW X5 such as equivalent models from Jaguar, Land Rover, Range Rover, Ford (Explorer), Tesla, Jeep, etc

It's best to lease all Germain vehicles and lease only up to the warranty. Never buy.
