The eCVT on the toyota hybrids are a completely different animal from a standard CVT. Tne eCVT doesn't use pulleys and a metal band. eCVT uses electric motors and a planetary gearset. Completely different.

Scotty Kilmer suggests, "avoid the turbo."

My dad bought a 2018 x5 40i in 2019. We live in rural russia with harsh weather and bad roads. This car has never given us any problems. Hapy 160k kms. Just usual maintenance in supreme luxury
-
I'll say this about Toyota, they wouldn't be doing turbos if they couldn't hold the reliability they have had. I'd still trust a luxus with turbos over a Mercedes with them, that's for sure. Toyota does extensive reliability test.

I used to be obsessed with Consumer Reports growing up. I will also take your opinion into consideration over that organization. They most definitely have been getting tipped off for years.
-
CR does their study by sending surveys, and it's a study of initial quality. You want a better measure, check with your mechanic. Consumer reports are okay for one report for some research,, but it's not the end all be all.

I drove Subaru's for 10 years. When the Forester started having battery problems I switched to a Mazda CX5. I love it!
-
I also leased a Subaru and my wife LOVED it never had an issue with it and was a great car. It is VERY RELIABLE
-
I will say I leased an Acura RDX A spec and put 60k miles on it and didn’t have NOT ONE single problem and NEVER had to change a tire or brakes. My favorite car to own and wished I kept it
-
Just got a Rav4 this past June and I love it! Toyota for the win!

2018 BMW 330i 100k kms on it. Had been eating 87 only still doing fine. B48/58 engine are unbreakable

There have been folks who have commented, actually gave a criticized retort, to my prior comments about driving our two Toyotas: A 2022 Tacoma Sport (naturally aspirated V6) and a 2023 RAV 4 Adventure (non-turbo, 4 cyl) as being "boring". If boring means proven reliability, so be it. Hopefully the new gen Toyotas with the turbo fours will continue to maintain Toyota reliability. And if things do go south, the cost to repair is much less expensive as is maintenance.

No surprise 4 Runner #1. It’s built in Japan. Japanese cars built in Japan are better.
-
Yep, I have a 2.5 liter naturally aspirated engine plus the hybrid electric motor in my 2023 ES300h, Ultra Luxury trim. Bulletproof is the word and no frickin turbo. I'm averaging 42+ MPG in city/hwy driving around town and about 40+ on road trips averaging 75 miles per hour.
-
So I do a great catch. I just hooked 2024 4Runner LTD 4X4, just under $58k ( $57-ish ). I start falling in love with that at first glance. I rolled over 50 miles right after picking up the vehicle on the same day. I would love to get 300 series Land Cruiser, but Toyota had removed them. Till then, I love every single mile with my wifey 4x4. ❤️🔥❤️🔥

First off that is a 2013 Forestor with a 4 Speed Auto and the old 2.5 EJ turbo motor. Their AWD system is superior to anything in class.
-
Great video Mark, I agree some of CR’s picks are not the most reliable.
-
Interested in what list you used for this. The articles I’ve seen have a different top 10. Though those lists have categories, is this list just overall?
-
You have real experience and i like that. Thank you!
