Sometimes I did beat the hell out of that 1.8L and the 6MT with rev limiter action included. That bastard NEVER left me stranded. Yes I drove it hard but I always respected the 6 months/8000km maintenance intervalls. Now I drive a 2021 Corolla SE since august of 2020 with the M20A-FKS (2.0L) and not a single issue with it in almost 3 years.

I had Sportage 2015 and it was a good car for 5 years! Now Stinger 2018 as car number two with 2,2 l engine and no problemas at all, yes brakes was bad at 80,000km! So we have 3 Kias in ouer family and they go good! VW Passat 2006 was a real bad car, so many problems so i wanted kill it right a way!

Could you do a video on the best reliable inexpensive convertible cars

My daughter has a Kia Cadenza. I have 3 other cars and the Kia is the only one that doesn’t use any oil in 5000 miles. The others will use about 1 quart each.

BMW has a 23 liter engine? Holy smokes! Can't wait to tell my buddies what I learned today :)

Honda was very reliable until they started using the GDI fuel injection which every time I pull my dipstick I smell gasoline on it and of course the dealer says it's perfectly normal to smell some gasoline that's kind of funny I never smelled any gasoline on any of my Hondas that have been purchasing since 1987 until they started with the GDI

Fuel pump leaking into the crankcase. I had a Cutlass Salon that did that. I changed the head gasket but that didn't work. Just kept filling it with STP oil treatment.

If you want something just as reliable but rides smoother and sounds better, get a Lexus or a Toyota with a 2GR engine. That 3.5L DOHC V6 is a cruiser engine. Enough power to blow off steam if someone cuts you off and smooth enough for cruising around at night.

I have the Honda R18. Currently has 440k on it. Runs like new.

With all the bad engines of Hyundai and Kia being replaced, no way would I ever own either. Owned one years ago. Never again. It was a 💩

B58 might be better than N54 and S55 in many ways, but essentially all are direct injection. It would be interesting to see how much of a carbon buildup accumulated in a 7 year old B58.

Unless it has a secondary fuel injections system like what Toyota uses in it's DI engines, it's going to have carbon buildup in it's valves. Its the curse of all DI engines. I have a Stinger GT with the 3.3L TT DI engine and I'm dreading having to deal with that in the next 4-5 yrs. I wish we stayed with Port Injection.

One company I use to work for, had two Ford Taurus vehicles we used for deliveries. Both had the 3 liter Vulcan V6. We were able to put over 300,000 on both of them. You don't need to buy an import to get a ton of miles on your vehicle.

When I bought my 2023 Kia Soul I already knew what I was getting into... I was like... *Challenge ACCEPTED😎* at the dealership. I've been known to push the crappiest of cars to high mileage limits.

Good videos on the whole thank you. It appears you don't quite understand that static compression ratio has nothing to do with boost. Static simply means the ratio without considering how much pressure is bled off due to intake and exhaust valve overlap making the effective compression ratio lower.

Especially gmc trucks! Garbage 🗑️
