At ReDriven, we’ll be taking you through the pros and cons of a huge range of used cars to see how well they’re going now that they’re a few years old, have thousands of kilometres on the clock, and are coming toward the end of their warranty, or maybe don’t have one at all.

Plus, thanks to our resident mechanic, Jim, you’ll find out what commonly goes wrong with them and what might need to be fixed.

Most importantly, we want to make ReDriven a voice for the most in-the-know used car experts there are...you guys.. See, you’re the ones that actually buy, live with, love and sometimes unfortunately hate the cars we’ll be reviewing.

So we want to hear your thoughts. Hit us up in the comments, or on Instagram and Facebook.

We’d love nothing more than for you to give us as much feedback as possible, so we can make this channel the best it can be.

I took your older videos advice and got myself a 2010 Lexus RX 450h Sports Luxury for an absolute steal. The amount of car for ~$17k still makes me grin. The quality of these cars are simply awesome, smooth, comfort, practical, has converted me to a big Lexus fan. As much as I like some of the European cars, I can’t go past the reliability, relatively low maintain cost, and build quality of Lexus. Highly recommended 👍

My dad imported an 2011 estima 3 yrs ago, at first no one liked the looks, but over time we’ve loved it. Its been economical, has alot of space (even in the back row) and has never broken down

On the longevity of the Prius, we have just onsold our 2007 with 440, 000km. Had one battery pack replacement in 2016 which with a changeover discount cost less than $1000 and was still performing well when we sold it. Fantastic cars, if a bit uninspiring to drive.

I'm totally in love of my Lexus IS 300h ! I'm not going to sell it soon.

This is a great video. I was going to request a video that focuses on Japanese grey imports but this kind of fits that brief anyway.

Was in Japan a couple of months ago, the places we went were an ocean of Toyota Hybrids, and very few pure electric cars at all. In Central Tokyo you were more likely to see a Ferrari or Lambo than a Tesla, not that that is the sole EV on the market. It’s funny how the authorities in Australia benchmark our EV uptake against Scandinavian countries, and conveniently ignore one of our biggest trading partners.

This was the most well-presented, informative and useful video I've ever seen on YouTube! Love your engaging presentation, obvious research and graphics/footage to match (I'm such a visual learner so this was great). I don't have the funds to buy just yet so I'll be coming back to rewatch this, or hopefully you'll keep this as a series 😁👍

All older Toyota hybrids and some newer models use nickel metal hydride battery, no need to worry about thermal runaway. Just need to ensure the battery vent inlet is vacuumed regularly

[murrieteacher]

Lexus all the way. any of them. And Adam, I got those great Wipertech Blades for both my cars with your discount. The fit, no problems. And they work. This is my second set in five years.

Hi all, have to agree totally on reasons for purchasing a hybrid vehicle. Have owned three Prius, and a CRZ. Wished I had kept the CRZ but still own a Gen 4 Prius and a mild hybrid Mazda 3 skyactiv x. All were reliable only the Gen 4 was new but none had any costs other than servicing and three sets of tyres in total. Mazda was also new. Gen 4 Prius currently at 4.3 to 4.4 litres/ 100 km. And between all the cars only one twelve volt battery replaced. As an ownership experience, utterly reliable nothing ever failed or broke. Highly recommend.

Always a good day when Re Driven bring out a new video. Another stellar effort guys.

[chunkybeats]

As an owner for 2 years of a Nissan Note epower E12 and it's just the standard version but it's a brilliant car, it's still quick although not nisno s level. Cheap to run and super reliable and that transmission is from the leaf and that's unbreakable. The Note epower is underrated and the even newer E13 is nice! Can't wait to see the Nismo S video!

[HneyBy]

Sucks that nissan note e power nismo s are not locally sold here because that would have been on my list as a first hybrid but imported cars are challenge to own in my current situation.

Cheers Redriven for the video, looking forward to that nissan note nismo review!

Corolla hybrids are great! Have a ZR hybrid sedan myself (need that sunroof and boot space). My old Corolla averaged 8.5L/100km; this one is 4.5L/100km!

Love the videos; keep it up!

I know a lot about hybrid and full electric drivetrains, and the question I always ask people is, "If you're not buying a generation 2 Prius (ends 2009), or any other Toyota or Lexus hybrid why not?"

I just bought my dream 2007 iTech (Side airbags) Prius with 185, 000km and a full TOYOTA service history for $10, 500....

[Tkrrr]

I have a 2013 Prius V with 327K klms on it and it’s NEVER been in for repairs.Only oil changes ever 8k and I had to do the brakes at 274k and that’s it.

[simonp]

The Fielder has had no issues power wise. Been using it for Uber for 2 years. You can't get the suspension struts here though. However fairly easy to order from Japan direct.

[Fyane]

I own a Lexus ct200h.
Fsport package.
105000 kms.
21 kms/lt
Only one fault to date, driver's door actuator.
Repair, $25 USD

Greetings from the uk, love your channel.
I have two hybrids at home, 2018 Toyota Yaris, this is the best value, featured version to go for as Toyota did a lot of updates under the skin and added new safety features, it is very comfortable and gets great fuel economy, average 46-54 miles per gallon in town and 56-60 on motorway, yes the new model is better but much more expensive for not much better fuel economy, 5 years on the only fault is part of the led strip on one of the led lights failed, replaced with a completely new head light unit by Toyota for free.
My brother has 2019 Camry but I went for the Lexus ES300 H late 2018, the ES what an amazing car, so quite, comfortable and refined, there is sound insulation in the engine bay even overlying the shock absorbers to isolate the noise, features like auto stop which will detect you are too close to a wall and slam the brakes when you are parking and the ventilation system that automatically detects pollution in the outer air and switch the intake to recirculation then back again to external intake when the air is clear are only a few of what this car offers in addition to the excellent fuels economy for such a large car as it has the 4th generation hybrid, the only fault is that one of the headlights started to develop moisture inside it, i am sure due to damage from the previous owner as the unit was was bent inward, replaced for free by lexus, likely expensive, got a free curtesy car while waiting for the repair, only downside is the lack of rear foldable seats.
highly recommended.
The fact that Toyota and Lexus offer you a 10 year full warranty provided you service the car yearly with them up to 100, 000 miles Shows the confidence they have in quality of there products and makes them the Best buy that no other hybrid manufacturer can compete with.

I bought a 2014 Honda Fit Hybrid Import and while the family love the practicality and 5L per 100km fuel efficiency, we did manage to blow up the DCTi transmission with 51, 000km on the clock so, not bulletproof. In hindsight, we should have had the transmission serviced upon purchase, as a precaution against the $4k spent for a secondhand replacement with 88, 000km on it or an approx. $8k for a new one, ouch!
