9 Used SUVs Canadian Mechanics Would Buy With Their OWN Money — And the Years to AVOID

If it were my own money on a used SUV this fall, these are the nine I'd buy, ranked by how well I'd sleep after paying. Every one has a weak spot, and I'll show you how to check it before you hand over a dime. In this video: Toyota Venza, Honda HR-V, Mitsubishi Outlander, Kia Sorento V6, Subaru Outback, Mazda CX-9, Honda Pilot and Passport, Lexus GX 460, and my number one pick. For each one: the years I'd shop, the years I'd skip and the thing that sends me home. Sources mentioned: AutoTrader's price index and used reviews, Canadian Black Book, CarGurus Canada, Otogo, Honda Canada's certified listings, Transport Canada, and the Kia and Toyota Canada recall pages. Consumer Reports and iSeeCars are also cited, and that reliability data is from the U.S. Prices are approximate, in Canadian dollars, and change by province and month. General information only, not a substitute for an inspection by a licensed mechanic. Doug is a presenter character; this channel is made with the help of AI tools.
