those SUVs that grabs your attention

$35,000 it packs a turbocharged 2.0 L
00:00:35
engine 228 horsepower and 258 lb ft of
00:00:39
torque but what seems like a solid SUV
00:00:42
quickly falls apart imagine cruising
00:00:44
down the highway only to have your
00:00:46
engine stall unexpectedly leaving you
00:00:48
stranded with warning lights flashing
00:00:50
that's a reality many Blazer owners face

concerns about its reliability its fuel
00:00:57
efficiency averaging just 22 m per
00:01:00
gallon in the city and 29 m per gallon
00:01:02
on the highway falls short for a midsize
00:01:05
SUV in this price range safety is
00:01:08
another weak spot in crash tests the
00:01:10
Blazer performed poorly a major concern
00:01:13
for families multiple recalls about
00:01:15
problems with the fuel system and

00:01:47
twint turbocharged 3.0 L V6 engine
00:01:50
delivering 400 horsepower it sounds
00:01:53
appealing but The Aviator proves that
00:01:55
luxury doesn't always mean reliable
00:01:58

00:02:00

00:02:20
competitors like the BMW X5 or Audi Q7
00:02:24
while The Aviator aims to deliver a
00:02:26
premium experience many owners find its
00:02:28
handling subpar and the interior not
00:02:31
living up to its price tag high
00:02:33
maintenance costs and frequent trips to
00:02:35
the repair shop make this luxury SUV
00:02:38
feel more like a financial black hole
00:02:40
unless you're ready to sink more money
00:02:42
into repairs than the car itself The

00:03:14
exterior lies a series of setbacks that
00:03:17
quickly ruin the experience reliability
00:03:20
has been a persistent issue for this
00:03:21
model owners report frequent
00:03:23
transmission failures engine stalls and

glitchy infotainment systems that leave
00:03:28
them frustrated even even the very
00:03:30
systems meant to enhance safety such as
00:03:32
Lane keeping assist have been known to
00:03:34
malfunction in 2024 alone the XC60 faced
00:03:39
three significant recalls while its fuel
00:03:41
efficiency of 22 MP gallon isn't
00:03:44
terrible it feels lackluster for a
00:03:46
vehicle in this price range add the
00:03:48
Skyhigh costs of repairs and maintenance
00:03:51
and you're left with a car that drains

weeks of frustration and those charging

mean you're often out of luck unless you
00:04:56
find their elusive stations for all its

unless you enjoy the thrill of

unpredictability this is a truck best
00:05:08
left in the rear viiew mirror next we'll

00:05:28
redefine what it means to drive an EV
00:05:31
its $50,000 starting price and Google
00:05:34
powered infotainment system painted a
00:05:37
picture of innovation but for many
00:05:39
owners the reality has been far less
00:05:41
inspiring while it catches eyes on the
00:05:44
road owning a poar 2 often feels like
00:05:47
battling with a stubborn machine the
00:05:49
infotainment system freezing or crashing
00:05:51
mid Drive is a common frustration and
00:05:54
with a range of 270 M it lags behind
00:05:57
competitors like the Tesla Model 3 three
00:06:00
recalls only add to the issues early
00:06:03
models have faced battery failures
00:06:05
leading to complete system shutdowns
00:06:07
leaving drivers stranded repairs are no
00:06:10
easy fix either thanks to PO star's
00:06:13
sparse service network which adds to the
00:06:15
hassle for a car marketed as Cutting
00:06:17
Edge the poar 2 feels more like an
00:06:20
unfinished prototype unless you're ready
00:06:22
to swap Innovation for constant
00:06:24
frustration this EV is a risk you'll
00:06:27
want to avoid and speaking of risks wait
00:06:30
until you hear about the Ford Bronco an
00:06:33
off-road Legend that's anything but
00:06:35
reliable number 15 Ford Bronco the Ford
00:06:39
Bronco is a name synonymous with

climbing to

retro design to Trail Ready features the
00:06:56
bronos screams freedom but owning one
00:06:59
that's where the dream Fades owners

00:07:07
removable roofs that fail to seal
00:07:09
properly transmission problems and fuel
00:07:11
leaks are also common leaving drivers
00:07:14
stranded far from civilization Comfort
00:07:17
isn't its strong suit either the
00:07:19
interior materials feel cheaper than
00:07:21
expected at this price and the noisy
00:07:24
cabin makes highway driving a hassle
00:07:26
even fuel economy is disappointing a
00:07:29
averaging just 17 m per gallon making
00:07:32
every commute feel like a financial hit
00:07:34
while the Bronco excels off-road it
00:07:37
struggles to deliver the reliability
00:07:39
needed for everyday life if you're not
00:07:41
regularly hitting the trails This SUV is
00:07:44
likely to drain your wallet and patience
00:07:46
but if you think this is bad wait until
00:07:49
you hear about the next one it's even
00:07:51
worse number 14 Buick
00:07:54
Encore compact enough for tight city
00:07:57
streets and offering a smooth ride the
00:08:00
Buick Encore looks like a solid deal at
00:08:03
$27,000 but appearances can be deceiving
00:08:06
and The Encore is no exception the
00:08:09
problems start under the hood drivers
00:08:11
often describe the Encore as painfully
00:08:14
sluggish especially during Highway
00:08:16
merges or uphill climbs its 1.4 L
00:08:20
turbocharged engine struggles to deliver
00:08:23
leaving you questioning if you'll make
00:08:24
it past that semi- TR in time for a
00:08:27
vehicle marketed as agile its lack of
00:08:30
power feels like a cruel joke from
00:08:32
recurring transmission failures to
00:08:35
malfunctioning air conditioning and
00:08:36
electrical systems The Encore spends far
00:08:39
too much time at the mechanic even its
00:08:42
fuel efficiency while decent at 25 M per
00:08:46
gallon does little to offset huge repair
00:08:48
bills outdated infotainment systems and
00:08:51
missing modern safety features further
00:08:54
hurt its appeal The Encore feels stuck
00:08:57
in the past lacking both performance and
00:09:00
peace of mind but if you think this is
00:09:02
bad the Dodge Durango will have you

00:09:20
reaching
00:09:21
$120,000 for the SRT Hellcat trim it's
00:09:25
the go-to choice for those who want
00:09:26
muscle and versatility in one package
00:09:29
with best-in-class towing capacity and a
00:09:31
z to 60 MPH time of under 5 Seconds the
00:09:35
Durango seems Unstoppable until it's not

recurring engine issues and Mysterious
00:09:44
Ticking noises that signal bigger
00:09:46
problems like exhaust manifold failures
00:09:48
are very common maintenance doesn't come
00:09:50
cheap either and let's not forget its
00:09:53
dismal fuel economy an average of just
00:09:55
15 MP gallon if you get the gas guzzling
00:09:58
V8 for for all its Promises of comfort
00:10:01
the Durango often disappoints with below
00:10:03
average safety ratings and outdated

00:10:08

00:10:10
