Thank you for finally addressing the 1.5 turbo from honda. I went against your advice and told my mom to buy an accord with this engine. I believe that honda can design a small turbo engine that will be reliable for 200,000 miles. Honda builds great engines and great cars and they are my choice if toyotas are not available.

I own a 2013 Civic. Everything is original and everything works. The best vehicle, by far, that I've ever owned!

We just sold our 2004 Honda pilot with a 3.5 V-tech v6 and it did great for our family. Sold it with 260,000 miles on it. We bought a newer Honda pilot.

still driving a 05 CR-V with 160,000 miles , engine and transmission still work perfectly. replaced the ac compressor, spark plud, alternator, and the electronic door switches over the years, other than that it has been serving my family just fine. For a 18 years old vehicle I think it did an awesome job! I am planning to keep it for another few years.

Hi Scotty, here in Quebec , Canada, we get 6 feet of snow, down to -50 with the wind chill and calcium and salt spread on ice roads ice that will rust your car fast. If you rent the car for 3-5 years then you dont really car about the rust but if you keep it than an anti-rust grease treatement is a must if you keep the car for 10 + years. Even with all theses conditions , there are still 20 + year old cars still on the road. My 2006 chevy cobalt is still running great but last month the right a arm broke in half and every year I do some body work. My wifes 2006 civic has aged much better than the cobalt with alot les repairs. I can argue without a doubt that the honda is way more relaible and durable than a gm product.

I can attest to the durability of the CR-V. Our 2004 CR-V has 306,000 miles on it, and is still going strong. Our son borrowed it recently when his 2014 Chevrolet Equinox V6 blew its engine. I told him to buy a CR-V, but he wanted the Equinox. Not as many bells and whistles, but rock solid durability.

Scotty what do you really think about Hondas don.t hold back. keep up the good videos.

I remember driving my brothers 1992 Prelude 2.0. He had a sports air filter on it. Man, that car sounded like a Ferrari. It was heaven to drive with. I could have bought his car, but said no. Too much rust on the roof and more.

The editing is fascinating. It moves a long video along

Nice prelude

Should align every car when you replace the tires. Cheap insurance when you pay over $500 for tires.

My mom has an 03 CRV with 190k had it 8 years now & put 70K miles on it!! Maintenance is gonna take her to 300K! Minimal rust & trans shifts like new!

Thank you, wonderful information. You are a Godsend

my dad has had his 02 silverado with a floor fwd shifter from the dealer brand new, it has 250k miles on it and still runs smooth. just keeps up with maintnence and has a notebook with dates of what he does to it. only downside is that it doesn't push the same amount of power because its still the stock 4.8l v8 engine

Had a 1982 prelude. It was sporty in 1982!

Hey Scotty! For the worn out ticking.lifter 1991 Prelude, did you ever try 20W50 oil ? This solution solved my ticking lifter issues… dunno why. Perhaps you can provide some insight to answer that….ticking returned when I went back to 10W40….so it was 20W50 for the final 150k!…. No ticks.

I had a Honda CB 750 K2 (1972) with 4 Keihin carbs. I can assure you, once you adjust and synchronize those carbs, the adjustment will last for at least 40.000 Km !

I bought a 2009 honda civic lx from scottys advice for cheap and it was in great shape with low mileage for the year. I modernized the vehicle with a touchscreen and my car has been amazing.

Hey Scotty, I just got my first car, which is a 1999 Chevy s10 Ls standard cab with 107k miles. What a mouthful. Mine has the I4 engine with a 4 speed automatic transmission. I bought it off a family member for 600$. And spent 300$ so far on various repairs. But works fully again. And I did have a bad vacuum leak the second I got the truck and was driven like that for who knows how long. I did fix that before putting hardly any time in the truck with new vacuum lines. It seems to be a fairly fun truck and it handles going 75-85 mph on texas highways. But what are your thoughts on it? From what friends and family tell me, they have seen these trucks go into the 400-600k mile range without too many problems.
