Thanks!
Thank you so much for your generous gift! I truly appreciate your support and am grateful to have viewers like you. Your contribution means a lot to me and helps fuel the content I create. Thanks again!
Really enjoying my CX30 turbo premium. This vehicle is my commuter vehicle and I average 29.2 MPG. The drive is engaging. It is nice knowing I have the power to pass, merge, climb when needed.
4 Japanese and 1 Korean, nothing from Europe or USA. That tells everything in terms of reliability and longevity:) Cheers from Poland(Europe)
I love the cx30, there is just two of us and enough room to travel also, drives beautifully, lots of horsepower, standard AWD, great styling, easy to park, good safety warnings, we got the 2024 base model with all this and a beautiful interior for 26000. A incredible car at this price point.
I also like the CX30; but the lack of a hybrid is a deal breaker for me.
I have a 2023 Mazda Cx-30 with 1500 miles and 8 months old.Its been in the dealership 5 times with a Battery Drain.They keep sending me home just recharging the battery after the 3rd time(I had the car towed 3 times to the dealership}Myself Mazda leaves a bad taste in my mouth,,,,I think Mazda has NO clue what the problem is and will charge the battery and send me home until the battery dies again......
Nice car, a little bit small though.
I just got 2024 Hyundai Kona and I am so glad I got it. I drove BMW or Mercedes SUVs for so many years, last one being 2019 bmw 3x. I just can’t not believe how great Kona is in every way! I highly recommend to give a test drive before buying, you will save a ton of money and just as good or better car.
Not to mention the 10 year 100K warranty and if it needs service, a loaner is given.
Don't be surprised the paint peeled off and fell off in a couple of years.
Just purchased a 2024 Honda HRV last week, the interior room is perfectly spacious for my family. I have no issue with it's lack of horsepower, it is still one of the most reliable and has one of the best safety features.
How is it on the highway? I'm considering either the HRV, Corolla Cross, or Crosstrek. We mostly use it for short city trips and errands, several day trips in the summer, and one annual longer road trip (for three passengers including one teen). I'm disappointed in the lack of an armrest or connectivity in the back of the HRV but it's not a deal breaker. Any opinions based on the above?
@@t.soares1125 I've been driving it for a while now and I have no issues driving it on a highway, I live in a suburb in illinois and I tried driving it to chicago few days ago, I mean even though it was a 2 hour drive, I did not experience any issues and driving was comfortable since I have a lot of leg room. I'm 5"10 by the way. Right now I don't have any problems with it. I mean I'm ok with it's horsepower compared to other SUVs, but the Safety features and interior space really suits our family of 4.
How about real fuel economy?
Good info. Did you look at the CRV? I'm torn between these two.
Fuel so far I'm at 27 mpg, driving is still good at 3k miles. Hrv vs CRV, if I have the budget I'll choose CRV, 😅😅 because it's bigger, but HRV is good too.
Love the Corolla Cross Hybrid .... drives like a dream .... glad I chose . The stunning interiors with the burgundy !!!! wow .... plus the super agile drive...... just mind-blowing. Well done toyota.
My wife decided on a Corolla Cross. I talked her outta the Prius. It was too small. She wants a yellow one. It will be her first new car.
Subarus are great. Now driving an Ascent.
I have a Chevy Trax RS2 and i love it great tec and fuel savings and interior room.
Very nice n useful video talk. I prefer Automatic Toyota, Honda, Sujuki cars . I was using Toyota, Mazda, Honda cars. At present using Honda automatic white colour car. It is very nice n smooth car. Love it. Instead of buying BMW, Mercedes, Audi expensive cars I go for Japanese cars, very economical, easy to maintain, service , maintenance costs is very less. Expensive cars are liability n difficult to maintain.
Nothing is 100% perfect but Honda has a good history or reliability and styling! I'm not sure which one I will get but there are pros and cons in all of them. Good Video!
The displays for the 2024 Crosstrek mentioned at about the 8:05 mark are incorrect. The base model comes with two 7.0 inch displays as standard. The premium, sport and limited models come standard with an 11.6 inch display. It is not an option. I'm loving my two week old, Subaru Crosstrek (base model).
The engine options was incorrect as well . The 2.0L is only available on the base and premium models, while the 2.5L is only available on the sport, limited, and wilderness models. Plus, all 2.0L models are still made in Japan, while all 2.5L models are now made in Indiana.
@@rob46711 @WilliamMcCurdie the two of you are a lover of Crosstrek because you the detail very well. I love my 2022 XV
My Crosstrek was totaled and I replaced it with a Dodge Hornet. The Crosstrek wins for off-roading, utility, and bad-weather driving. But for normal highway driving the Hornet's a dream.
Initial impressions vs long term reliability differ immensely with any Stellantis product…good luck.
I bought a 2018 kona three years ago 74000 miles not a screw loose absolutely love driving it
If you like off-roading then choose Subaru, if you like handling and power then choose Mazda, if you like reliability then pick either honda or toyota.
For reliability it's Honda or Toyota for safety it's German Vehicles,as for kia rio hyundai you have to be nuts with zero class.
I picked the Subaru. Consumer Reports rated them for best reliability. Do your homework!!!!
What about the Hyundai kona
@@chi8772 it's the internet everyone jokes around I'm sure it's a great car.
I'D RATHER USE A TOYOTA HYBRID. hands down
I have had my hyundai for several years, and have never had any problems, i love it.❤
CX30 Turbo is the way to go here. It has a bit less room......BUT...... IT GOES FAST !!
I love my 2018 Subaru no problems so far also great in the snow!
Mazda looks good❤️
I would put # 4 Mitsubishi Outlander Sport
What about Lexus UX 300H ? Would love a video that 👍👏👏
How are these “sun compact”? Automotive press is FOS.
The Toyota Corolla Cross is actually a solid Compact; it's larger than the other crossovers mentioned.
Actually, the Crosstrek is a quarter inch longer, and the wheelbase is 1 and a half inches longer, so it feels bigger in the passenger seats. The Corolla Cross is indeed wider by an inch and taller by 2 inches. It also has a bit more cargo space.
If you like driving, CX-30 is your best bet: great acceleration, handling, and road feel. The Crosstrek is OK only if you don't mind its less than exciting git-up-and-go. In that case, buying a roomier Forester for just a little more money is a better option for you.
I needed a cross over for easier access and exit of this aged body. Not an easy move from a life of "exotic" vehicles. However age and common sense and the need not to have two money draining very low mileage cars on the drive meant a brain choice rather than heart. I chose a VW T-Cross and whatever critics say it is a great vehicle for my current needs with it's 1.5 ltr Turbo and auto box. Yes it is no looker , maybe the 2024 will be, but great to drive , very comfortable and quiet. 🇬🇧
Lovin my 24 Crosstrek Premium😊
How far can you go on a full tank on average
@@fusionmasterable 420-450 miles
We can easily go over 500 miles in our larger engined Impreza RS if mostly highway.
Hyundai Venue is good but just a little bit smaller than the Kona
I would be all over the CX-30 if not for the non-touch infotainment (the dial thing sucks) and the lack of rear seat and cargo space. Otherwise, it has the best ride and handling, the best interior, and good reliability!
thats why cx5 exist
I could not agree with MORE. I LOVE everything about my 2022 CX-30 EXCEPT that ridiculously complicated infotainment system. There is NOTHING straightforward about it. Whoever thought having to look down at the controls while driving should be fired. The amount of effort it takes to do something simple like switching from radio to Bluetooth is unnecessarily convoluted and it doesn't connect my phone to Bluetooth unless it's wired in. Both my Tuscan and Rouge have no issues like that but THEY are push button operated.
That and the lack of a automatic dog food bowl feeder and heated coin holder. Western world problems, lol.
I have the 2023 CX5, love it and prefer the non touch screen. No finger prints, don't have to lean forward to touch the screen , I love it, but that's me
Another person that can’t take the time to read an owners manual and learn something different. It’s designed for safety, learn to use it and you may have a different informed opinion.
CVT … CVT … CVT … CVT … Mazda - regularly automatic transmission ! Sure, Mazda is #1 !
Mazda CX-30 is fabulous- love driving mine.
My friend has a chevy trail blazer, she loves it runs great, no problems.😂
TOYOTA COROLLA CROSS 🙂👍 PERFECT
I am driving a 2022 Hyundai Kona ICE and would lease it again (yup, only keeping it for 36 months) so never had any issues with my current or my past 3 Hyundai leases. That being said, I want to go EV but since I cannot afford the prices, will instead look at the Corolla Cross Hybrid next year. Kona has a hybrid, but not for sale in the U.S. and Canada. Shameful! I love the "spaceship" design of the new Kona but when you add AWD to the Limited model (I'm driving my 2nd Limited Kona), it's almost $35,000!!! For that price, a hybrid is a better deal.
I'm so glad you found my video helpful! Your support means the world to me! Thanks for taking the time to watch my video.
The Toyota Cross Hybrid stands out as the most long-term bang for the buck on this list.
How far does a single tank get you
@@fusionmasterable, The Toyota Corolla Cross has a 13.9-gallon gas tank, and the hybrid system model has an 11.5-gallon gas tank. How far you can go is determined by where and how you drive (between 22 and 52 MPG).
What about the non hybrid??
@@guitarplayer4429, The Toyota Corolla Cross has a 13.9-gallon gas tank. How far you can go is determined by where and how you drive. At 30 MPG, the non-hybrid Corolla Cross will get you around 400 miles (or around 644 Kilometers) per tank.
I just get Toyota Corolla Cross L. Tank size is 12.4 gallons.
Kona ❤👍
KONA in Polish means "DYING" 😊
Has Subaru been doing anything different for their engines as far as design? Do they still use the flat 4 cylinder that is notorious for blown headgaskets at low mileage? Otherwise, they are great vehicles and fun to drive. Their 4x4 tech is amongst the best if not the best.
Headgasket issues in Subarus are so 2012, solved long ago.
@@tpolerex7282no, had this issue in my 2018 legacy. covered under warranty but it's not good to hear
I believe they are going to use Honda engines next year
Wrecked my 2016 Legacy in an accident. It was 8 years old, had just over 100K miles and bought new. This car was reliable, plus got 35MPG on the highway. Never did more than recommended Subaru maintenance. Had battery problem but update fixed this. Never blew a head gasket, ran great, Eyesight worked great too. Bought a new Crosstrek Wilderness 4 days ago and love it so far. Currently, 6 Subarus in service in my family right now.
No mention of the Kia Soul. wow. I woulda thunk that woulda been somewhere on this list.
Kia is a brand that still struggles with reliability.
Yeah those are on 🔥
This channel must get perks from some of the automakers because this list is supposed to include reliable vehicles and you have a Kia which along with its parent company, Hyandai has a terrible track record for reliability across the entire brand line.
Why Mitsubishi RVR not on list ?
i STILL LOVE MY XV 2022.
Rav4 is the best😊😊😊
I don't think those are classified as a sub-compact though, are they? Yeah my brother has one. Great vehicle. However my Kia Soul actually has more room but I don't plan on keeping it beyond the 10 year warranty however I'm also not planning on putting more than 5k miles/year on it either. Can't go wrong with Toyota but they are pricey.
It's not a sub compact.
As far as reliability goes, nothing could be worse than a GM vehicle.
Don't forget Fords and Chryslers ( Jeeps)......
We would like to have the prices in Germany. You can't help but get jealous. Corolla Cross 36-47000€. Subaru crosstrek 34000€ 😢
Mazda CX-30 less than 25000 eur in Mexico 😀😀
LOL I just saw the Kona in a video about 10 SUVs to avoid due to reliability problems. Who to believe..
They noted here that reliability is the #1 concern and to plan on owing ot under its 10-year/100,000 mile warranty. I’m in the market and that’s my only concern.
The King: The Toyota RAV4 Prime.🎯
Everything you showed in this video is beautiful and very nice cars but why are the ones they sell here in the Philippines so ugly? We can also afford to buy something like you showed.
Id have to choose Mazda!! Why must they put those damn CVTs in such nice cars?? I dont want a CVT..
All except Mazda have CVT transmission; Mazda has a real 6-speed auto. Reliability of CVTs is not good and they have poor driving experience. Wish auto companies would stop using them.
Suggestion: Show the car's model in lower corner while you're discussing it. If you advance the video, you know the subject matter.
I feel for the consumers that vested in Subaru. You have my deepest sympathies when it happens. The only nice thing about your Subaru is at 160k you’ll be really good at knowing what’s wrong with it and the small fortune it will cost to have it fixed.
i mean unless you are talking about toyota cars, its hard to find something that will last as long as a subaru
If Kona has questionable reliability why do you include it in the 5 most reliable list? It either is reliable or not. Make up your mind.
RAV4?
its compact, not sub-compact!
Two suby’s in our driveway…won’t drive anything else.
How you tested the Kona as reliable and still new 😂😂😂🙅♂️🙅♂️🙅♂️
you better check for recalls before you buy any of these
i just bought a corolla cross and in power mode it is quick on acceleration up to about 80 km/h then it loses power again the revs go up a lot and makes a lot of noise. its not real power likea car with gears. the belt system really sucks. even an old two litre Toyota can kick the hybrids butt. its. do yourself a favor and stick with the old corollai f you can.
most have CVT which is unreliable or tends to breakdown sooner than a standard automatic
That’s one of the big reasons why I like the Mazda CX-30.
AI making videos, how cool is that, and even to capitalize on that. I would have to report on that one
Inchies and miles per gallon?? Isn`t that messurments from the stoneage?
wtf is inchies?? And if not using mpg, what are you using??
CVT transmission ? No , thanks
The Toyota and Honda are woefully underpowered. I mean slow as molasses. Don’t even think to merge onto a highway if vehicles are near.
What about new Peugeot 2008
The Yugo is also coming back starting at 5000 Pesos.
@@rayosullivan4398 new Yugo 5000 is coming?
Video tournée par l office asiatique du commerce 😂😂
the Kona get horrible mpg for such a small car and a cvt!
Hyundai will be recalled just as all the prior ones were too. Kia is the same and still will have a fire danger so never park it in your garage or near the house.
I have a 6 cyl AWD Sante Fe that was never touched and I have 256,000 on it. Same with transmission. Family member replace drive shaft in 3 year Buick and replaced $15,000 battery in 2 yr old Spark electric car. Buying a new car can be a crapshoot on any model.
This is actually from a real Subaru owner: I made it a whole 300 miles in my brand new Crosstrek 2024 sport (yeah the fancy one with yellow stripe and all) before It forced a full stop on me while driving!! Do I need to repeat that vehicle was in 'D' mode when the computer decided its time to full stop??!. Subaru towed it away 2 weeks ago. If I had been on the freeway, not in turtle mode, it could have killed me! Not sure if I even want it back. Subaru, I'm afraid of my Subaru!!!
sorry, not buying your story
I can smell anti - Subaru troll.
Kona is using same engine with oil drinking and knowing engine
All toyota interiors look like a uhaul
If a car has a CVT transmission, stay away. It it does not have a chain for its timing belt, stay away...
Don't whst country your in but that kona is our 2023 model it only comecwith 1.6 turbo hybrid or phev or ev , there no dirty 2.0 underpowered engines in our nation . Even the previous generation came either 1.6 turbo as standard. The kona is not a suv. Never has been. Cuv at a push. This must be north, America. Because our hrv look nothing like this old design and dies not come with a dirty old under powered 2.0.
Not one American vehicle.
And with good reason... price/performance just ain't there.
@@leecowell8165Plus the American models are nonexistent.
Cona is dirt completely! Unreliable at all
No chinese card? China is always number 1.
This not sub compact 😠
Have a 2023 Kona, don’t like the 2024s!!!! F-k electric!!!!!
Warning: these are last century's cars! (not electric!)
How much did they pay to put this rubbish out?
Effin' "bubble cars." I hate all of them. Goddam sheep. Don't be a sheep just because, "Consumer Reports says..." Barf!
If you like cars you would not drive Honda, Subaru or Toyota even as a gift based on how ugly they are!!! Maybe Hyundai but it's a bet! If you like cars you would not drive all of those except Mazda cause it's fun to drive and being inside a beautyful place. This is the starting point! Now you can start to think about your money! Cars are like a dresses, you look at quality cause you fit in, but you buy only the pretty ones don't give a dollar to the ugly ones!!! Not for women (do not exist this kind of) just for men: if you are a shirt and shorts practical man you can choose whatever it comes
Are you joking? These asian rustbuckets are cheap and low tech.
As opposed to Ford’s not existent subcompact (they ditched the Ecosport cause it was trash) and Chevy’s Trax (underpowered) or Trailblazer (not capable). Jeep could put up a good fight if they actually updated the Renegade which is just languishing per usual for Jeep.
@@Michael-ur5qbBesides the “Asian rust buckets “ are rust proofed much better than American cars
Mazda CX30 is an excellent car.
agreed
@@glennso47 Undoubtedly, the best driving and handling and good reliability, however, the infotainment sucks and the cargo and rear seat are very small.
Bring back manual transmissions please please please.!
I bought a CX-30 since I could choose which gear is best to drive in. For an automatic, going up or down one gear at a time saves me a lot of shifting of the transmission when traffic slows down or or on undulating mountain roads and is the best alternative to a manual transmission I could find now. With no CVT, the six speed transmission gives me the opportunity to use only the gear I want to use at the time.
If I wanted a bigger kona then I would buy a santa fe. Why must companies always keep increasing the size of existing vehicles. Toyota ruined the 4Runner when they made it bigger.
America Automakers are so dumb, make junk car for consumers, I have been bought my first three America make car, they never last and trouble all time, repair cost more than car prices, give up, buy Japanese car last forever, save on repairs.
Good point
Lol. Just look at workers in north America or Europe, you will have the answer. Nobody puts their heart at career. They are lazy dumb yet demand more pays and rights. You would never understand the Asian countries how passionate they are to their job. One example is most of them treat job more passionate than their families. That's why they can produce good stuff.
