The $48, 000 RAV4 Prime is great, but here in Canada the dealers want a $50, 000+ markup and you have to wait 4 years to get one after you submit your order. $100, 000 for a RAV4 Prime? No thanks, its way too much.

My Model Y had been going strong for 15 months. 29k miles with no problems so far. I have been all over Illinois and Missouri, including as far from chargers as Tower Rock with no issues whatsoever! The cost of ownership is amazing.

Mazda's extremely underrated reliable cars. Those cars are workhorses never let you stranding or woth issues. Never got one that failed me at work

[GregsKitchen]

My Mrs has a Mazda, its a beautiful comfortable car to drive, especially long distance, with great fuel economy, better than all the luxury brands I used to sell.

I don't care about recommendations on new cars. Come back to visit these vehicles in 5 years or ~50K miles. Tell me what breaks, which one(s) are no longer reliable or cost $$$ to maintain.

How come you guys forget about the Mazda CX-5 ??? I have a 2020 Grand Touring naturally aspirated. It has one of the best safety ratings in it's class and is super reliable !!!

I own a 2023 Mazda 3 Carbon Edition AWD. I absolutely love it! ❤️

Ain’t no way I would trust BMW long term reliability.

It was predictably a Toyota/subaru party this year

Subaru 👍👍👍 I have had four Subaru, top quality, the only thing they need to improve is sound insulation.

My Toyota Rav-4 is hybrid but not plug in it is fast as well 0-60 in about 6.5 seconds in sport mode. It is also one of the best SUV’s I ever had . It is a 2024.

One thing they leave out is that the plug ins as well as all the EV’s give terrible range anxiety !

My Rav gets 500 miles on a tank !

Where is Honda Why does CR always ditch Honda ? I am driving a 15 year old CRV with great reliability

[ralphcastillo]

Most people who buy beemers can’t afford them, maintenance suffers and the second or third owner parts the price

[gorillaplays]

I've bought houses for less than they are asking for vehicles these days.

[paulrodger]

What do you suggest: city driver, not daily, 6, 000 km/y. 1 or 2 passengers new or used?

I am glad to see the Mazda 3 on this list. I have a 2018 and I still love it after all these years!

[someguy-somehow]

I owned an X5 and I am permanently traumatized by the unreliability of that POS and treatment by BMW dealerships. Nothing will convince me to give that company a penny of my money ever again.
