I respect the fact that your not bias and also the fact that you and many other SMART car YouTubers drive older, less problematic reliable vehicles to an extent..

The biggest problems with turbo engines is 1) people drive them like maniacs and redline them off every stoplight and 2) pretty much like everything else, don't maintain them properly. Turbo charged 3 and 4 bangers are NOT designed to be driven like muscle cars. Bottom line is if you must buy a turbo charged engine then just buy a new one and don't drive it like a fart car. And maintenance is well, maintenance - you take care of it, chances are it will take care of you.

90s Nissans 3.0 v6 were absolute gems. Smooth as butter. Had 260k on mine before the car collapsed from rust.

After a catastrophic engine failure at 7 years and 120,000 miles with OEM-recommended oil change intervals, I’ve decided to disregard the OEM maintenance schedule and adopt a stricter approach: an initial oil change at 500 miles for new engines, followed by changes every 3,000–5,000 miles. I’m confident this will help improve the longevity of my future vehicles.
