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.

Find us on:

Just brilliant. Thank you for taking the time to make this one.

Thank you ReDriven! Really loved the "buy this but not that because..." structure of the video. Really really informative and helpful for car people and non car people alike. Keep up the good work 💪👍

Great list, mates! Love the video! Surprised that the Korean brands are now not that recommended due to new findings on the engine.

Love it please keep doing the in-depths about the reliability of the cars it’s something not many people do and I really appreciate you guys doing it shit keep going deeper if you want the deeper the better 😘

I was able to get a 2015 Lincoln MKZ earlier this year with 80K miles, a new transmission and shocks for 14, 500. Absolutely love it. Looks very high end for what I paid

Hey
New to this channel, keep up the great work.
Great commentary as it's everyday language and some fun thrown in.

For my car is around 20k it’s a Ford Focus Sport EcoBoost. Not known for its reliable transmission but for its enjoyability and handling. Practicality is very good imo. I do lots of large Costco trips and stock trips for work and I can fit it all in there no problems. Plus it looks very good imo. More interesting than a golf and an i30. And it’s not too expensive to insure and maintain. But I’d say probably not as reliable and cheap as a Corolla. But for a 20k car it’s practical, looks good and goes pretty nicely.

Glad to see the Lexus in the list..love your show.

I should of seen this video when I was buying my first used car. I got the subaru impreza 2012 and it gave me so many problems but now I am looking for a new one so I appreciate the recommendations.

[sticksfaz]

Another great video. With the high cost of repairs of some used cars is there any extended warranty worth getting?

[twisted_panties]

This really is a great/useful channel.

[Rockbottomsurf]

Hey guys can you do a review on the best tradie vans to buy for around $20k it’s hard to get reliable info anywhere. Cheers.

[Taylorguide]

I'd love a vid about best city cars that are also good for a 1000km road trip. (not off road, obvs).
Thanks for preventing me from buying a Kia/Hyundai as I was likely buying a 4 year old one in a few weeks. Good stuff!

[TheP]

In the market for a large car, so really looking forward to next weeks vid - loved that you not only recommended stuff in this one, but pointed out what not to get. So, the list would be the cars you mentioned, plus Opel Insignia, Skoda Superb, Subaru Liberty/Outback, Lexus GS, maybe a Volvo and Renault Megane....Peugeot 508? (I think I know what the verdict will be on the last three...😆

[jamesthom]

Cracking content as always Adam and Jim - keep it coming! What's your view on the Hyundai diesel engine in this class? Would it get them back on the buying list?

[bachhoang]

we already know what the list's gonna look like next week haha. Camry, Mazda 6, Accord and IS250. Japan ftw

[MotoSwagger]

Wait, what? Is that a QE Pajero Sport in the workshop??!!?? Almost unheard of 😉 must be for some mods!!! Thx again for the awesome content 🙂

[Disturbed]

I know you try to make things as internationally available as possible. But it would be nice to have a special that goes over Aussie domestic market stuff.

Im sure I'm not the only one that atleast to some degree watches these just to learn about regular cars in general. Most cars I end up getting are usually sub 10k. So naturally those videos are my favourite.

I guess specifically what I would love to see personally is reviews and comparisons of Holden's and Ford's through the generations. Doesn't hurt that versions of the Commodore were exported internationally.

Not a complaint btw 😅
Love everything that gets put up. First found your content on the VE SS ute. So it's atleast possible you'll do more local stuff.
