13 Worst Cars Only Stupid People Buy

What car is SURPRISINGLY unreliable that we missed? :elbowcough:Also, go SUBSCRIBE to IDEAL Money! bit.ly/IdealMoneyUTube

The least surprising thing is that there are 2 Jeeps on this list

The triton F-150: americas best selling truck, because owners had to buy a new one every year

"13 Surprisingly unreliable" immediately shows an E60 M5.

I have owned a 2006 RX-8 for five years now and I can attest to this video. I have spent thousands on it replacing and fixing different parts on it, but when running without issues it is the most fun car I have ever driven and owned to this day.

Regarding Sti, the engines are as performant as their engineer's could do and keep it reliable. Then someone xomes aling screwing with rhe intake and exhaust and even ECU and boost pressure and wonder why an already highly strung engine explodes.

I saw a Mazda RX-8 blow an engine right in front of me on the road last month. White smoke everywhere, no one could see the road and I thought ‘oh god everyone was right.’ 😆

I agree with this listing for the most part. One small correction: Though the Zastava in the city of Kragujevac was building the Fiat 500L, that City (factory) isn't located in Yugoslavia anymore. It is located in Serbia. The Yugoslavia doesn't exist anymore, ever since the summer of 1991.

Jeep Wranglers (older JK models) are very safe. I had one, my girl still has one... a guy in a Nissan SUV pulled out in front of her from a side road and she crushed that little box and spun him right around in a 180 and across the street, lol. She only had bumper damage and a scuff mark on her fender from the bumper cover hitting it. The Nissan, was totaled. She drove home, didn't even set off her airbags at 30 miles per hour. As for reliability, the 3.6L Pentastar is probably their best engine, the new models have oil issues, etc. The older 4.0L were good as well but had some failures. People think Wranglers are unreliable while forgetting that we drive these offroad. You don't drive your Nissan Altima up the side of a mountain like we do. Obviously there will be problems as we bash these things on the trails. Many of the issues derive directly from lift kits and over sized tires straining everything. Lift your Subaru 4 inches and put 37 inch tires on it, bash it on a mountainside several times a month and see how long before you have problems.

The Altima is what I call a 50/50 car half of them you beat the shit out off and they just keep happily chugging along. The other half breaks just by seating in it

The patriot also has issues with the blend door freezing up, the windows may not roll up or down, the throttle body goes bad, the A/C compressor stops working which requires an ECU change, and more. I’ll go did through my records book for my wife’s patriot later.

My dad had 4 subarus on EJ engines. First one was on ej20 series and 3 next were on ej25 turbo series. All of them passed more than 200k and only one of them had a problem with gaskets, BUT it was because of him tuning it incorrectly. Eventually he got to servise ON IT and technicians fixed the problem. It was 11 years ago. My dad also got in a horrible car crash in that exact Subaru Forester sg9 and it saved him from serious injuries. Now we own 2 subarus(5th and 6th foresters in row), sj and sk series. Both are super reliable and great cars themselves. Well, i hope i`ve protected Subaru`s honor :D

I got a little 07 Hyundai Accent hatch with quarter a million miles it’s been bullet proof. Long as you keep the rubber timming belt in good shape I think it will run forever. Parts are super cheap to not that it’s needed many. Just normal stuff plugs tires brakes.

The 3rd gen Minis (F-chassis, from 2014-present) with the BMW B38 and B48 engines are quite reliable. You just need to stay away from the pre facelift 1st gen and 2nd gen.

Yes the R56 minis and the classic minis are known to be unreliable, but the F56 is most definitely an exception. The new B48s in them are very reliable, they have improved massively since the R56. But people don't know the difference, because in the end it is still seen as just a mini and therefore grouped with the previous models, with their terrible reputations for reliability. My conclusion is that F56s are VERY reliable, R56 and backwards, not so reliable.

me and my family have had a bunch of wranglers from 97-2021, haven't had any issues with the 7 that we've owned, but i still dont recommend buying one unless you KNOW what you are getting into.

I guess I'm one of the rare ones that have had a great experience with the 5.4. I bought my 2000 f150 from my dad when I was in highschool. My dad is the original owner of the truck and to this day I'm still driving it. Other than basic maintenance the only things I've had to do it is replace the radiator, heater core, blower motor, water pump and a small oil leak. It just hit 348,000 miles while still rocking the original engine and transmission. Doesn't smoke or knock at all and no transmission slips either. Runs and rides smooth. My friends that are mechanics have told me I'm really lucky that I've gotten so many miles out of it with only minor repairs done to it. I'm going drive her till she quits and probably rebuild her lol.

My wife has had a mini for quite some time. It is a second generation of the new ones and was purchased used with low kms. The car is now 8 years old and the only thing that I have to say about its maintenance costs is that the brakes went at 30k. Aside from that, oil changes is pretty much all we had to do.

A lot of the European cars are just not designed for the American market/circumstances , for every day use in Europe they work just fine.

I get it not everybody watches Scotty Kilmer, but anyone who does knows there's nothing "surprising" about this list
