These Are The MOST RELIABLE Cars & SUV's Of 2024 You Should Buy 

Taking a moment to brag on my 2003 Camry, complete w/cassette and cd players, knobs only, and real fresh air vents. Thanks for ‘listening’.

Reliable or no, it’s totally academic if you can’t afford them… 😒💸

Excellent review. I have been driving my 2008 4Runner (2WD SR5) for over 15 years with no problems at all. Everything still looks and works like new. I think it might go for another 15 years.

I still drive my 2002 Rav4 in 2024 and the car is beast! Not that difficult to fix either. Spent a total of $250.00 in repairs over the last 7 year and my 2002 Rav4 is still going strong! Computers and sensors were much less complicated in 2002 and the Rav4 was also based on the Corolla and Camry so parts are still readily available even in 2024!

Just bought Mazda CX-90 and love it. Before I bought it, I took a test drive in Highlander, Pilot, Telluride, Palisade. Mazda CX-90 has the best driving handling and excitement. Others may have more cargo space, but the drive and the overall build quality in Mazda are undoubtedly the best and will give a run for the money to German brands like BMW ,Audi or Mercedes.

As a non native speaker I always found your videos easy to understand and helpful. Thank you!

How can you call something reliable when it is brand new?

Wow! Now that video was an eye opener! Thank you on the report I truly appreciate it.

😊great video. Thank you.

I enjoy your content Shari. Always look forward to Wednesday and Sunday.

I owned a 2008 Kia Sorento for 11 years and not one thing went wrong with it. I took it into the Dealer twice. Once for a factory recall on a tail light relay and the second time to trade it in on a 2019 model. It still drove like new, with zero creaks or rattles (which I can’t stand) and it still looked great. Pretty amazing, because where I live, the rough roads and freezing cold winters that can hit minus 40° and lower are very hard on vehicles. But, I do take very good care of my vehicles, so it sold the first day on the dealer’s used car lot. Thus far, my new Kia Sorento is just as reliable and free of squeaks and rattles. It is the top model, so I expect to enjoy the long, long list of every convenience and comfort feature you could expect in its price range, for years to come.

Great video wish you gave base prices!!!

Thanks for the review. It's helpful, being that I'm in the market for a car.

I'm actually kind of surprised the Mazda CX's didn't make the list.

My 2003 Toyota Camry still going strong.

Love your info and enthusiasm. What about the Honda products, Civic and Accord? Has Honda gone downhill?

... wow ... learned a lot ... but since a new car is not in my budget, do u have any recommendations for used cars ?? ... & thanks Angel ... ❤❤❤

Hi shari what a good price or deal with your experience on a 2024 honda crv hybrid touring

Good morning from Virginia

Good morning from Maryland

Thanks

Amazed that the Ford Maverick got such good reliability scores when it had so many recalls and has had production issues. Not surprised that the Crosstrek because I have a Crosstrek with 208k miles that only needed a tune up at 165k other than just oil changes and brake pads.

The BMW 3 Series was recommended by CU for the 2023 model year. It had a good reliability rating and crash test results.

Bought my 2016 Honda HRV brand new. 78,000 miles later, running like a top. ♥️my Honda

My Forester Touring is the Biggest LEMON ever coming out of Japan. I’m disabled and on SSI. It took me Many years to save up the money to buy my Forester. It has literally been in the repair shop more than it’s been in my garage. In 25 a lot of Toyota’s will be redesigned, so I’ll wait until the 26 year model and sell my POS Forester and go back to Toyota. Great Review Shari !

Love my Corolla cross. Same platform as the UX and same running gear as the prius. More space than the UX and more practical than the prius. And its a Toyota Win, win.

This is a channel I can trust. What you present makes sense and is supported by evidence. I can appreciate the transparency, cause even though I wouldn't have guessed the X5 would be in this list you still shared the facts.

Yep Toyota and Subaru know that the average driver wants reliability, not super huge or drag strip performance. I wish US and European makers would realise.

Toyota knew what they were doing with the 4Runner, they didn’t put high tech fancy bells and whistles just to sell. They kept in what worked and fixed the issues with the SUV and still in production for 15 years. For the ones who have a 5th generation 4Runner 20 years from now you know parts will be readily available just how many 4Runners are on the road today.

I just bought a Subaru Crosstrek and then saw this video. 😊. This is my 5th Subaru and still loving the manufacturer.

I have an 06 Ford Focus with 290k miles, had to replace disks and that's it. Still on the original clutch.

Surprised neither the Highlander or Corolla made the list; few cars can match their longevity through multiple iterations over the years.

Just purchased a RAV4 Prime. I chose it over the other vehicles I was looking at primarily because of its reliability (space and fuel efficiency rounded out my top reasons). I plan on having this car for a long time.

I have a 2016 Subaru Legacy and have had absolutely no problems at all.

I own 3 Lexus vehicles: 2005 SC 430, 2010 RX 350 and 2016 RX 350. All are EXCELLENT automobiles. 🥰

My 2013 f150 was flawless. Have Maverick hot seller.

Hi Shari, I watch most of your reviews and I really appreciate your attention to the details on the cars 👍👏👏👏 I am planning to buy the new 2025 Camry with AWD option, though it’s not yet in the showrooms. I need your honest opinion about this car and if it’s a worthy buy.

5th Gen 4runners are loud and unrefined gas guzzlers. But, they will never let you down. Crazy reliable with a charm all their own. I love mine.

TOYOTA Rav4 - Year 2016: Bought used from Toyota dealer in 2022, Problem with air recirculation switch on dashboard after 2 years of ownership.. Not a big issue, only needed when outside pollution excessive. Took to Toyota dealer and fixed under 10 year warranty - No charge. No excuses. Job done. I would recommend a Rav4 for reliability and Toyota for service.

I see at least 3 vehicles that the Mazda CX 5 probably should have knocked off the list. I've got 140k miles on mine, and it still surprises me how quiet it idles the first 1000 miles after an oil change.

Of this video, I enjoyed. The cinematography and audio were good, even though, the guy was in an enclosed room. I.e, no echo. Product knowledge, superb. Editing, or cut away shots, again superb. Note: I am very interested, in buying, either a Subaru BRZ or a Toyota GR 86, base, manual. All the best Shaun 🦉 of NYC 🗽

Curious about the Toyota Tacoma? What was the reliability rating ? Please and Thank You...

I plan on being buried in my Toyota Camry. It will last forever -:)

Hello The Prius is good but it’s tire profile is unique making it hard to replace if you run into a problem

I always follow you and your advices, I had 2021 highlander hybrid which I was planning to keep for more than 5 years, but it was stolen, can you please let us know the best way or tools that will help to prevent car theft.

Hi! I have been driving my BMW X3, 3 liter turbo diesel 6 in lne since 2007 over Western Europe with no major problem at all: one broken spring, windshield washer reservoir pump and that's all. It receives a maintenance check up every 2 years only. Am I lucky? Maybe! When In Africa, I share a Toyota Land Cruiser with colleagues. It is driven over dusty and muddy dirt tracks for years with minimal maintenance and has never let us down on the side of the track. I am very thankful to Toyota for building those vehicles.

I just bought a Subaru Crosstrek, YES!

Thanks...watched the worst and best. We have a Rav 4 and a Lexus. We also keep out cars a very long time. 1st Toyota in 79.. Now they have overcome their rust problems I expect to keep them even longer. I did consider the Subaru Crosstrek. Mazda not mentioned?

Where is my Mazda CX 30 love that car brought it from your recommendation fortunately I bought it brand new before the the deactivation crap came out the following year.

2007 Camry with 240k kilometres on it and still going strong 💪 THAT is reliability. Thanks for reading.

Someone please explain to me how you can assess reliability on 2024 models that are only a few months old.

I am not just surprised. I am almost shocked to hear the word "reliability" associated with Subaru. I ditched mine at 147,000 miles. Yes, the leaking head gaskets. And yes, it was on its third transmission. Never again.

What about the Toyota Corolla Cross 1,8l hybrid?

Great review! Hubby has a 2023 Camry XLE AWD and he loves it more than the Honda Accord that he drove previously. I would just love to get a RAV4 Prime, BUT, it doesn't fit inside our garage and that's a requirement for us. I do not like the Crosstrek (I don't need AWD all the time) and I'm leaning towards the "mini RAV4", or the Corolla Cross Hybrid. Cannot afford the Lexus UX crossover, but maybe next time (if we inherit enough $$$ to go debt free, ha! ha!).

I drive a 2022 Lexus UX 250h. Atomic Silver exterior with glazed caramel interior. No problems so far.

Consumer Report only goes back 5 years coordelate with the drivetrain warranty. Some of those cars testet have a turbocharged engine lately.

I bought a 2018 Camry Hybrid LE. Six years and 180,500 kilometres later, the average fuel economy was 4.7 litres per hundred kilometres. I needed a "steering box", so the dealer said at a cost of $1,000 plus, so I took it in to my VERY trusted mechanic. He asked me what was wrong with it and I said, "Drive it into the bay and you'll find out". He did (VERY hard to steer) and after diagnosing, he said that Toyota was right - it needed a steering box. After learning of the cost, he said, "You wait right there and give me 10 minutes". He came back 30 minutes later and said that I was ready to go. He said that he took the plate off the steering box and emptied a can of WD-40 (not exactly sure if that's what it was, but some lube) and it worked like new. $110 later I was on the road. I went right back to Toyota and told them I'd NEVER be back. When I told him the story, he said that they don't have the time for that. I think the correct answer would have been that they don't have the intelligence for that. After six-plus years, I'd give the car a five-star rating, but the dealer a 1-star rating. Zero if I could!!!!!!! The only beef I have with the car is the seats. They are so incredibly stiff. WHY?? I had a Buick Electra (1972, I think) and it was like driving the car in your Lazy-Boy recliner!!! Why make seats so uncomfortable?? To keep the driver from falling asleep??

Thanks what about Kia Niro 2017 ?

Love my Crosstrek ❤

Love my ‘24 Crosstrek!

Mmm I’m in the market to get a new car but I had the Toyota Matrix clone since 2008 and don’t have any major issues and still going. So I’m leaning on getting another Toyota.

My hyundai sonata 2009 still running like tank !

I would buy mazda over subaru any day

Perfect video thanks man. Please do a video on BYD electric and hybrid reliability and durability. 🙏🏻🤍

Always the best and to the point videos. Shari is the best car expert i know

Anything on SKODA?

I have a 2014 RAV 4 with 257,000 miles on her now....other than "normal wear and tear" the only things I've had to replace RECENTLY are a couple of wheel bearings and the alternator.......VERY SATISFIED and I plan to run it till the wheels fall off! IT'S ALREADY PAID OFF!

Bragging about my Honda Civic 2012 ❤️❤️❤️

Absolutely love it!!! I'll have to be financially stable in every sense before purchasing my first supercar. The best thing to do with your money is to invest rightly because money left saving will end up with no returns.

Thank you for this video. I am going to buy the Honda- CRV instead of the Nissan Rouge. Take care.

Love my Crosstrek.

1988 BMW E30 they should call it a Timex 300 + K will not die greatest car ever made

You haven’t mentioned the Mercedes Benz SUV’s. I am thinking of getting GL 350 diesel engine. What are you thoughts ?

How would you rank the CX5?

I have a 2008 Gen II Prius. I love it. It gets 47mpg running around town and gets 44mpg on long interstate trips. It has 235,000 miles on it right now. I did spend $1700 to have the hybrid battery replaced at 230,000 miles. But, that and a wheel bearing are really the only thing that I've had to do. I change the oil regularly at 5,000 mile and it just keeps going. I'm not the original owner, but I know the original owner for 30 years. This is my first Toyota, my next car will be a Toyota. I'm actually looking at the Corilla Cross hybrid. Has anyone here owned one? Feedback would be appreciated.

MY JEEP CHEROKEE IS 7 YEARS OLD AND EVERYTHING ABOUT IT WORKS GREAT. NEVER ANY TROUBLE. KNOCK ON WOOD.

I think this is only the reliability score of the the first three years which doesnt really mean they are reliable after warranty expires.

Just purchased a 2024 Lexus UX 🥰 and love how reliable it is!

I bought my '15 Subaru Crosstrek new and its still going strong and looks good for its age. I may trade it in for a new one.

You can't beat a Toyota/Lexus/Honda/Suburau product lineup. You hear that GM/Ford/and whatever they are calling Chrysler/Jeep this week. You better get your act together or you won't be paying those top execcutives those millions and millions. Wait a minute yes you will until the company tanks. It takes years to build a label and quality control, but for some that have been around 100 years, it falls on deaf ears.

Camry XLE hybrid awd. What a great package 👍

It sounds like Mazda is better since they got away from Ford?

Another great video again, Shari. I currently own a 2020 Honda CR-V with the 1.5T engine with 31K miles on it, and it's been very reliable to me. I was wondering, where does the Honda CR-V and Civic rank? I know that the last generation Civic(2016-21) had issues with the climate control system and infotainment system, which lowered its reliability score.

Lexus is a great car for people that can actually afford them.

I have a 2007 Toyota Rav 4 with Differential problems, big banging when I turn the Corner of on uneven Surfaces while accelerati my ! Also Interior pretty flimsy !

Guess I keep my pre-war Ford, I wonder how many of the cars in the list will be around in 83 years.

Very surprised the honda crv did not make the list.

surprised to see that there aren't any mazda's in this list. The skyactiv technology has been very reliable in non turbo engines. My 2013 mazda has 172k on it and it still running strong. The actual engine is kinda the same engine

Any CVT equipped,gas engined vehicle will fail sooner than one with a torque converter.

Someday I would love to buy a Mazda cx3 or Mazda CX-5. I currently own a 2016 Mitsubishi outlander sport AWC and have not regretted it, but in a distant future a Mazda will be definitely considered given its price points. Reliability and being well. Accessorized

What is the Honda Accord EX ???? On vacation?

i'm caught/torn between the HRV and the Crosstrek

Thanks for the list. I'm preparing to purchase a Forester in a couple months. I can feel confident about my decision after hearing the reliability. But now I may consider the Crosstrek. :)

My 2016 honday hrv last on 97k mileage because of a transmission failed.

Interesting

I have a 2007 Mazda6 2.3L Dynamic and wouldn't trade it for anything else.

With so many Toyotas on your list, I'm surprised you didn't mention the Toyota Avalon, which seems to have a good reputation for being reliable. My only negative with it is that it doesn't meet Toyota's gas mileage claim. I average 19.5 mpg on small town/highway driving.

Anyone have thoughts on the Nissan Pathfinder?

My Subaru Ouback started leaking oil at 80k, plus the hood latch didn’t work. I traded it in for another Honda!

The 4Runner is the best vehicle to buy if your only concern is reliability.
