American content creator Bev, who does not reveal her last name, has built a loyal fan base of 97,500 followers on TikTok thanks to her common knowledge.
More recently, he publicized vehicles that aren’t built to last and urged, “Stop buying these damn cars.”
In the clip, which has so far been viewed more than 2.4 million times, Bev speaks directly to the camera using a green screen overlay.
And it begins: “Here are five cars that probably won’t make it to 100,000 miles without a major problem.”
Without wasting time listing his list, the expert states: ‘First of all, we have the Nissan Versa.
‘When I say there will be transmission failures, it is almost certain that there will be.
‘The CBT transmission on these… could be made of paper mache. It is awful. They make these cars cheap. Don’t buy them.’
He continued: ‘Next we have the Mitsubishi Mirage, another really cheap car.
“Very, very, very, very low initial cost, but very, very, very quickly you will make up the cost when it’s in the store 24/7.”
The third model on Bev’s hit list was the Kia Optima. “Once again, we almost guarantee engine failure before 100,000 miles,” he said.
“The 2.4-liter engine that came with these… it’s honestly shocking how bad they are, and if the engine lasts 200,000 miles, good luck with the thieves.”
Bev continued to go over her warnings with the ‘Bodied Chrysler 300’.
‘The poor man’s Rolls Royce. They forgot to mention that that will also make you poor. These things are extremely unreliable.
‘I don’t see many of them doing 100,000 miles. Maybe you can get 120,000 without having any major problems.’
Last but not least, the social media star said there were problems with “any Maserati.”
‘They all stink. He probably won’t put 100,000 miles on any of them,” he concluded candidly.
Dozens of viewers took to the comments section to agree with Bev’s findings and share their own experiences with the named models.
Many viewers took to the comments section to praise his vision and share their own experiences.
One person wrote: ‘My 2020 Nissan Versa transmission went out at 86,000 miles. Luckily, my insurance paid for its replacement.
Another commented: ‘Yeah I had a Nissan Versa, my transmission failed.’
A third person added: ‘My mom had a Nissan Versa with only 40,000 miles on it. He took great care of it: at 40,000 kilometers the transmission failed.
Someone else said, “The Nissan Versa was my first car…the new transmission went out at 45,000 miles.”
Another added: ‘I had a mirage. 60,000 miles and the transmission shot up. Never more.’
One person wrote: “I can confirm with Kia Optima…mine had the engine replaced and still had a blown head gasket.”
