Love my 04 Mazdaspeed Miata Comment from : Jim Van Eaton

Damnsad about the TT but that just narrows it down to a boxster or mr2 ! Comment from : cmdrcriton

I am in Canada looking at buying a 2001 MR2 Spyder with 78,000K (about 48,000 miles) for $12,500CDN ($9500US) Clean carfax Thoughts? Should I get rid of pre cats right away as preventative? Comment from : Norman Birch

i would not go past a mx5,would not touch the boxterI am 6'2 with bad knees,i fall into it banging my head on the roof frame,slouch in the seat to drive it,agony getting out but i love it Comment from : paul white

Which 4 seater convertibles would you recommend? Once as a daily driver, once as a fun car?prefers no direct injection because of the coking in the intake ducts (or sealing piston rings on Audis), thx, I no longer have confidence in current cars Comment from : Brüll Mücke

Toyotas are boring because boring people buy them It's one of the negative consequences of their success that people who don't care about cars tend to pick the most reliable cars with the lowest TCO That gives them the image of being boring cars, because these people don't baby their vehicles, and don't really know what they're capable of They leave "Camry bumper" alone because they just don't care They pick beige, silver and brown for the car's color (nothing wrong with that, but sometimes it seems that's the only colors Toyotas come in brbrAn example from another market is computers/phones The biggest reason Apple products have done so well is because they portray themselves as the alternative to boring, beige, corporate PCs They're "cool" to a lot of people, even though they're actually the Toyota of their industry They've managed to avoid the image of the risk-averse incumbent long after that's what they really became Toyota could learn something from them, IMO Even though I kinda hate Apple lol Comment from : sproutpits

Best summer cruiser is a chrysler crossfire roadster Comment from : Thinker outside the box

I'm just gonna buy an old Lexus IS250 and modd it and call it a day Comment from : Romes Republic

A used MR2 is not cheap! These cars still command 15k to 25k on the used car market! Comment from : AS M

Wizard in this video you say not to buy a 98-06 Audi TT but in your Audis video you recommended buying a 98-06 Audi TT Are you saying that overall Audis are bad including the TT but when just comparing Audis the TT is not the worst? Comment from : Glenn Gutenberg

Total BS regarding the IMS From owning a high mileage daily driver 986 for 15 years Comment from : Alexander van Wyk

2006-2009 SLK350 is a fun summer cruiser Try to get the 6 speed manual Comment from : Doug Antelman

You forgot the best roadster in the world, the Honda S2000 fool Comment from : Mickey Hartsell

Definitely do not buy the 91-94 mercury capri Parts, especially in the US are very difficult to find Comment from : Daniel Jones

2nd gen SLK 2004-2010, has a manual, retractable hard top very fun little car Comment from : Ron Beau Phillips

16:08I'd recommend the MK3 Cabrio and the MK4 (which is actually a MK3 face-lift with a MK4 front end) Those are more modern, and since they shared a lot of parts with the MK3 Golf hatchback/wagon and the Jetta, parts are pretty easy to find They're also very reliable if you get the 20 engine Comment from : Damilola Akanni

The last all-new, buy this, not that video was about all-wheel-drive (AWD) vehicles, that was completed and uploaded by the Car Wizard at the beginning of the holiday season, which ended two weeks ago Now, in 2023, the next video will be the six used vehicles that you need to avoid, due to the conclusion of its lifecycle and the unknown costs to keep these older vehicles on the road The supply chain issues for brand-new and newer used vehicles, as well as long delays for vehicle deliveries will about to end a little later in the current year The first vehicle to avoid at all costs is the early-to-mid-2000's Ford Taurus with the 3 L Duratec V6 engine, because they have some transmission problems, electrical issues and so forth The Vulcan models are fairly reliable and they do not get old for a certain period of time, if they are well maintained The second vehicle not to buy will be the first-generation, 2003 to 2008 Toyota Matrix with the 18 L four-cylinder engine and any transmission, because the odometer reading stops at 299,999, whether if it is in miles or kilometres (same thing with the Corolla and Vibe) and it is underpowered when going uphill They also have electrical issues, as well, especially during the startup of the engine sometimes This is the reason, most of these Matrix's and Vibe's get sent to the auction following their trade-in at the dealership The third vehicle to not buy is the 2001 to 2005 Pontiac Aztek, because they have the 3400 (34 L) V6 engine, which is known to blow head gaskets, they get abused and totaled by the youngest owners, especially teenagers and they have numerous amount of problems Run away from these Aztek's, as quickly as possible The fourth vehicle to never purchase is the 2007 to 2012 Dodge Nitro with either the 37 L or the 4 L V6 engine, because I had a cousin who got involved in a vehicular accident with a big rig (good thing it had a great crash test rating), it had some electrical issues and the 37 L V6 engine was known to blow head gaskets, same with the 34 L V6 engine from GM But, the 4 L V6 engine is very reliable and it is slightly fuel-efficient than the 37 L V6 engine You can still buy an older, first-generation, 2002 to 2007 Jeep Liberty with the 37 L V6 engine, which are reliable Do not buy the Dodge Nitro, ever Anyway, the fifth vehicle not to buy will most likely be the second-generation, 2001 to 2003 Acura 32 CL (including Type-S) with the five-speed automatic transmission The 32 L V6 engine from Acura is reliable, but these older Acura's (including Honda's with the V6 engine) from the early-2000's had numerous transmission problems, these vehicles were abused and illegal stunts were done by teenagers and younger adults, due to immaturity and recklessness and they failed like crazy from electronics to the engine components These CL's are already in the garbage dump or already scrapped Please for the love of God, run the hell away from these Acura CL's Do not buy any of them, ever The sixth and final vehicle to forget about purchasing would be the 2013 to 2019 Ford Escape with any of the EcoBoost four-cylinder engines, because these engines break down most of the time, they have a lot of problems with the software system (similar to the 2012 to 2019 Ford Focus), they have problems with GDI technology and so forth The 25 L four-cylinder engine is the only exception to these newer Escape's or better yet, buy the 2014 to 2021 Mazda CX-5 with the same engine displacement with Skyactiv technology from Mazda and a little higher horsepower rating (ranging from 169 to 187) The CX-5 is far more reliable than the Escape You can also go for the turbocharged version of the late-2010's or the early-2020's CX-5, as well Do not ever buy the 2013 to 2019 Ford Escape and/or do not ever buy any newer Ford product with any EcoBoost four-cylinder engine Take my word from that, people So, I hope you have a great weekend and I hope that the Car Wizard will pass this motion of ideas for the next six used vehicles to never, ever buy in general, as well as the next all-new, buy this, not that installment Thank you very much and good luck on your first or next vehicular purchase Remember to only buy a used vehicle, do not buy a brand new one Comment from : Mark Dumagpi

I would like to see you get up out of that chair with a rattle can red paint and spray it on that front bumper on that ferarri Comment from : Bob Knopfler

I love those miatas Comment from : Cole Cornett

Just stay away from any VW products and you'll be good Comment from : HueTubeR

You contradicted yourself right now! You praised the Audi TT in your “Buy this Audi not that” 2 years ago and said it was a reliable cheap good looking car Now you’re dogging the quality! Make up your mind! Never trust a mechanic that sits on his the whole time! Bet you ain’t even a mechanic and if you got a job as one you probably try to fix it while sitting! YouTube DO NOT listen to this joker! Comment from : Jose Lopez

Sounds like Mrs Wizard is a hater She doesn’t like Miata’s and she called the Audi TT a hairdressers car brbrGlad Car Wizard is such a nice guy, but man, she sounds like a Debbie downer Comment from : Matt

I love my 08 z4 but also my 2010 Lexus IS350c FSport - but need to sell the Lexus and can't Why? Its so nice Comment from : Amanda JumonvilleOlivier

Can you Toyota? Looking at getting the Camry with awd or rav4 hybrid Thank you! Comment from : danny parzero

I daily drive a 2006 NC Miata and absolutely love it No issues and the engine and (manual of course) transmission is strong as can be I chose the NC due to the increased horsepower, timing CHAIN and the deal i got on it It had 193k miles, now 203k, and it drives like it has half that Idk why the NC gets so much hate The aftermarket is really good too Comment from : R M

I had a '79 Rabbit with the K-Jetronic mechanical injection, never had a problem with it It was still running fine when I junked it---the underside rotted out from road salt Comment from : justsomeguytoyou

I have a Fiat 500 convertible, although I barely ever take the top down because Texas is hot as hell and the wind nose is awful Comment from : The Major League Ginger

The TT drivetrain is basically VW Golf / Audi A3 Parts are cheap and its easy to work on The TT is reliable, thats it Comment from : 5Zylinder

Datsun 1600 "The Ultimate (summer) Driving Machine@!!" Comment from : Spalding

Well, I've had my 1971 VW Beetle Convertible since 1976, and it works well and is very dependable And I've had my 1970 Beetle sedan since 1972 Comment from : Cuss Cusser

Ha! I've had a Golf cab, Beetle cab and currently run a TT cab Love them all Scary how much more you have to pay for used cars in the US You could get 3 or 4 MR2s for the price you quoted, here in the UK Great video, as always!!! Comment from : Darren Fisher

"[The Toyotas] are boring"brbrThink of it this way: do you want your car to be in YOUR garage, or HIS?brbrGeez Comment from : bbface21

Does Car Wizard know the 308 behind him may have the same Bosch Jetronic as many VW Cabbies? Comment from : Louie Yam

Had an MR2 and loved it No problems at all Comment from : Marc Marini

I’d add to the Beetle that they are absolutely unsafebrbrIt is a beautiful car, for a museum or for showing only at vintage expos Not driving until there, but towing it Comment from : Yoran W

I actually knew a girl who bought a new VW Beetle She said she knew she was going to have problems when her door fell off after 3 months of ownership I guess it caught fire in year 3 Comment from : Ben

Hey car wizard could you do buy this not that Kia edition? Comment from : Christopher Daigle

There was this police woman that always directed traffic at my elementary school and she always had one of two cars; the humble Infiniti G20 or a VW Cabriolet😂 Comment from : The Second Nemesis

Bro a porsche reliable??? Lol man am starting to doubt your knowledge man Comment from : Jesus H Medrano

Does anyone disagree with him saying a miata will outperform a 911?? Comment from : Christopher Faeth

I had a Ford truck, jeep Cherokee, Chrysler Sebring, Mitsubishi lancer, and a 94 Corolla in the last 2 years They ALL needed work except for the Toyota This Corolla just keeps going with no problems Comment from : The YouTube Mechanic

Thanks Wizard for sharing your knowledge Could you do a Mitsubishi video? Comment from : Adrian Zamora

Hi Car Wizard! How about a 2015 BMW Z4? Too much plastic in engine? reliable? Thanks Comment from : DindoI

@Car Wizard - I'm confused In your, Audi Buy this/ not that the TT was a Buy Or did miss something? Comment from : D J

Do an electric conversion of the Beetle That should cut down on repairs Comment from : François Caron

Don't give her the 308 Comment from : Nick Sundby

Hi wizard, did you not recommend the 98-06 Audi TT in your Audi buy this not that video? So are they good or bad I'm very confused Comment from : Kraaken

''No, it's not done''! Comment from : Martin D A

Unpopular opinion, you'd be better off getting an NC Miata 2006-2015 (2011 and later would be best) Better looking, slightly more interior room, bigger engine, more than likely less expensive than the NB due to being less popular with the Miata crowd Comment from : Stephen Cavanaugh

So wizard, a year ago in your video Audi's to buy and not to buy, you recommended the 98 to 06 TT as a car to buy Now in this video, you say definitely don't buy those same year TT's Would you mind sharing why you changed your mind in the past year on the TT? Comment from : David A

MR2 Spyders are great cars Fun and reliable Just make sure to keep your eye on the oil level Comment from : 00poopmonster

audi is not realible? On Europe are very realibly Diesel is the best option Comment from : Teles

Mrs Wizard has an annoying voice! Not helpful Comment from : Zelig Theodorovich

I think the air-cooled VW shouldn't necessarily be on the the NOT-TO-BUY list They are often pushing 50 years, so anything that old, I understand can be a bit of a challenge to maintain, tough parts are in several countries and they are PLENTIFUL and CHEAP! The idea that air-cooled VW's are complex or confusing to work on is not an issue They are generally easier to work on than most cars and how they work is self-evident Either you know it as you figure it out, or you give up right away They are not complicated, which is an attribute to their international success I am an avid viewer/fan of Car Wizard and I was a bit thrown off when he mentioned that they are on the NOT-TO-BUY list, when it is really on the fence at the worst Clearly there are other models to add such as the notorious CRYSTLER SEBRING! Just run away when one of these is offered to younot mentioned and Car Wizard failed on this note I could swear he mentioned how bad these cars are in the past videos Comment from : Erik Pfeifer

That poor lady will never get her 308 😂😂😂 Comment from : Randolph Cirilo

I bought my 1995 NA Miata from JRGo in May of 2020 I still have it and enjoy it here in Florida Comment from : DragonBrownies

The only answer is Miata and 2nd gen 300ZX Comment from : MrTilbin

Bought my wife a low-mileage 2012 Infiniti G37 convertible a few years ago Besides regular maintenance, it's been a fun and reliable vehicle that she drives daily and really enjoys driving with the top down in warmer temps! Comment from : muzakgeek

I love my 01 Audi TT It's a small Car but it's heart is very Wumbo!! Comment from : RobertoSibian

VAG is watching this very closely Good thing there's Porsche Comment from : SunnyOz

Would love to see a summer/adventure SUV list Comment from : youtube dude

Audi TT looks a lot like a Beetle Comment from : Robert Banks

Great information Wizard! Comment from : Speed and Shine TV

Car wizard what about the Chrysler crossfire Comment from : Chad Lehman

What about C5 vette Comment from : Sir booty cakes

I’m assuming the Nissan Murano CrossCabriolet is on the “do not buy” list… 😂😂 Comment from : Zachary Peterson
