I’ve had in total 2 Range Rover Sports and 2 Land Rover Discovers, each for over 5 years - I NEVER had a days mechanical issues with ANY of them. Everyone still wants a Rangie when )they grow up’…..

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

You have the GLE on your list without pointing out any particular issues that cause it to be unreliable

[jaimelopez]

Great analysis, thanks. It's really a shame that we can't find any comments from the people who design these cars!! Not a single one of them steps up and explains what happened, what went wrong, what is the plan to improve the product, etc. This happens with motorhomes, boats,

[woler.]

I love my QX80. Had it for years. I definitely recommend getting a used one that is 2018 or later. You will be getting a very reliable car for cheap that looks and rides good and can last a long time.

Ive watched your videos in the past for the small to mid size SUV to buy. You mentioned the Mazda cx5 was a good reliable suv to get, so i did and its a great suv no issues runs great!! Its a 2020 and has 50 + thousands miles on it. Love ur videos and will always go to you 1st before buying ❤

I would like to know the definition of “reliable” from you. For most cars you mentioned “not reliable” but what does it mean? Could be much better if you have given us 2 or 3 examples of what is the reliable in this context?

Is it number of faults? Is it number of returns? Is it number of repairs?

[ruvela]

Thank you for taking the time to review the vehicles. Makes buying decisions better and less stressful. Whatever happened to the competitive nature of companies making their best vehicles. There are too many models. All companies should focus on only 4 to 5 models only. Your best SUV, your best truck, your best sedan, your best compact, your best ev, your best hybrid.

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.

I've owned my 2021 XC90 Recharge for 3 years / 23k miles with ZERO problems (other than the charge cord needing to be replaced). Not even so much as a squeak or rattle. Great car so far.

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.

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.

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

[brianmwirigi]

Land rover has been a very "consistent" company 😂

[benjaminharris]

It’s a shame that Jeep - one of the most storied brands in American history and a truly original and iconic line of vehicles - makes this list, but it’s a fact! Jeeps have a lot of recalls,

[ktpinnacle]

A lot of SUVs you would never get off a paved road in. That's why so many go for the Jeeps. Not that they'll tackle the Rubicon Trail, but it is designed to put up with some rough roads. Far too many are just glorified station wagons, and are treated as such. Really surprised you included the large GM SUVs. Other than some issues related to the cylinder deactivation in their V8s, they are quite reliable and they can't seem to build enough of them.

Best car reviewing yet! New sub thanks so much 🎉

[msk]

We our an Audi family owned several currently have 2 but we typically buy the extended warranty and get rid of prior warranty ending. However thanks to Covid and cannot find the modal with options and color she wants my wifes A4 is 8 years old and i can say we have had no issues beyond normal wear and tear.

[muhammedozdogan]

Is just relability report enough to put xc90 into this list?
