Newton commented:
"Don’t point out only the car; blame the mechanics. Many are used to Toyota cars, so repairing other cars becomes a problem for them, but they’ll not tell you. Many mechanics will tell you older Toyota cars are more reliable than the newer ones, all because they don’t learn."
Kamil_motor commented:
"KIA SPORTAGE from 2017 upwards is reliable. It’s the same with the Tucson."
Jayden_brooks commented:
"If you like, don’t listen to him and go ahead with your C-class purchase. I rest my case, and before you spew words, I drive a C-Class 2020 model to be precise 😂. Anyway, bless you for your car content champ, love it 💯,"
Chris Boakye commented:
"First time you're exposing weaknesses of certain cars... you've been positive saaa... at some point I thought it's your marketing strategy."
Ghana first commented:
"The only car worth every penny is Toyota and Lexus... period."
