I live in Canada, i had a Honda fit 2007 and just sold it due to the rust all the rest was Nice, now I have a fit 2014 and so far so good, perfect for the city.
Yeah Scotty is a Toyota fan (most are great cars) but he also likes Honda (especially if they are built in Japan) and he will tell you Mazda and other brands are good vehicles if he tests them and thinks it is a good vehicle. Hell he says there are some good Hyundai vehicles (I’m a Hyundai lover with previous great cars) but he tells the truth from his experience with many cars. To me his experience (55+ years) is what I want to hear. Buy what you want but, Scotty will provide you his experience. Buy what you want and live with what you purchase, good, bad or ugly. Scotty only tells you what he thinks.
This channel is very informative and very helpful in finding the best cars. Thank you, Scotty!

Bought a 09 FIT new.......my son has it now, 300K+ miles. At 200K miles halfshafts failed, Honda replaced them as they had rusted, GREAT car.
I'm really happy with my 2016 CX-5. 2.5L conventionally aspirated engine, Mazda's 6-speed automatic. 2WD is all I need in Texas. 107K on the clock, no oil burning yet, religious about oil changes with 0W20 synthetic every 5K miles, transmission fluid drain and refill every 50K. So far 25 mpg in town and 29 on trips. For that roomy a car, pretty good I figure. Not a hint of trouble so far. What's not to like about that?

ALWAYS KEEP A SPARE CAR..
2001 Toyota Taco, nearly 200,000 miles, I don’t hardly go anywhere, I like it so much I put new leather memory foam seats in it. Nothing has ever gone wrong. Oil changes, tires, and an occasional Interstate battery has all it has ever needed
Overall I like my 2016 Honda Fit, but things I don't like are there is no temp gauge, and in the Winter sometimes the right side of the gauges go out.
I own a 2015 Lexus RX350 with 165K miles. It looks and drives like a new car. Buy quality and keep it serviced, and you will never go wrong.

These reverse camaras in the Hondas i'm sure are not broke when they do this to you... my honda civic has done this a couple of times and i throw it into reverse (Manual)and i'm sure its the sensor trigger switch because mine comes back on and I havnt had any issue for a long time now. I dont know if its a switch or a sensor but maybe it gets dirty or something? hopefully somwone with more knowlege and experience cn comment and give us a heads up more so!
Wow, still snow in Tennessee on July 15th. Remind me not to move their from Minnesota, where it is 85 degrees now.
to your point Scotty, where is the best place to look for a used car (in case you haven't already said). So are their different places for difference kinds of vehicles? (Like a good web site for trucks vs SUV vs roller skates (like you had on this episode), and the like. (If any of this applies...)
❤ nice video
Scotty is right.We are far from the time to drive EVs, as a daily drive. So, try to maintain your car specially if you have manual transmission to drive it forever. And no turbo engine as well.
I rented a 2023 Honda Aacord for about 3 days. I was disappointed with the ride and noise from road and engine, for a car with only 6,000 miles. This was surprising from Honda's Top Line car. On the other hand, it had plenty of power, handling was great and controls where good. I would perfer a Toyota Camary ( with 6 cyl. ) better. Only problem is hard to enter and exit rear seat.

He has a Hyundai with 200,000 miles on it that his friend gave him. If I get a Honda, I have to find someone who can put a shield around the catalytic converter. With Hyundai's, I have to pay attention to the year because certain years are easy to steal.

The new generation of cx5s (which started in 2017) are alot more reliable, and basically within top 5 most reliable. Prior to that though they're semi reliable, middle of the road kind of thing, not American car reliability bad, but not honda and toyota kind of reliability either.
Three vehicles that we will never see on this list - Chrysler 200, Fiat 500, Dodge Caravan. You could probably bet money on that. Problem is the odds are going to be something like 9/5 so the payout won't be much.
wow i didn't know you were allowed to put your own steering wheel cover on. Thanks scotty!
Always adjust valves on a Honda cold, never warm.
I have a 2013 Honda civic 4 dr .. I had the transmission fluid drained and filled at 88k miles it’s skips gears on jump starts and skips at 73 mph .. the dealer reported it’s the first signs of a dieing transmission .

Who changed the trans fluid? Was it done properly? My Lexus is350 requires a certain procedure to change trans fluid (car needs to be completely level and trans fluid trickled out at the right trans temperature- monitored with an OBD2 reader). I've seen plenty of KZread videos of people half azzing the process...same might have happened to yours.

3 years ago I bought a 2011 Honda Accord. I'm in about $15k on this car because the dealer I bought it from are scumbags that sold it to me without even inspecting it and I had to spend almost $2k to get it driving right. Last week some old lady totally sideswiped the car. $4200 in damages. I just can't win in life. Now I'm driving an ugly car. But hey, at least it's a Honda. Might not look good, but it will get me where I need to go for years to come.

Did you have full coverage? Insurance will cover the damages. I don’t care what anyone says, I would have only liability no matter how old the car is. I even kept full coverage on my old 02 Civic. Made some good money on it when it hailed and did a claim and kept the money
@LUk3.M.
28 күн бұрын
@@edb484 Depends how much damage there is. If the entire side of the car needs to be repaired or replaced (doors, fenders, quarter panel).. then insurance would total the vehicle. If the costs of repairs exceeds 65% of the fair market value, insurance totals the car. Quick search of an EX 2011 Accord sedan shows a fair market value of just under $5,000. So $3,250 would be 65% and the level which insurance would deem it totaled. And then insurance will give you a check for what your car is worth (5k) and then take your car to sell it for scrap value. Body work is NOT cheap these days. Paint and body repair for a bad sideswipe, is definitely more than $3,200. Thats why its not always smart to carry full coverage if you drive an older car. We all WISH insurance would spend $10 grand to fix our 1996 Honda Civic when we got into a wreck, but thats not how it works. They deem the car totaled. Then you decide, do I want to keep my Honda that runs great? And spend my own money fixing it? Or do I want insurance to take my car and write me a check that isnt enough to get a good car. Unless you have a special policy for a classic car or a policy adjusted to the value you prove its worth (which means an expensive monthly payment).

All told... I've spent WELL OVER $50,000 on my Accord (including the 14 grand I spent buying it used). But, thats only cause of major accidents and me replacing every possible part I can to get it looking like showroom condition (almost 5 grand for leather seat replacements alone). (2 grand for all new OEM chrome trim around the windows.). $675 for new OEM leather steering wheel, even though my original still looks great, I want it perfect. Spending two grand is nothing, marvin. These cars are worth it.

I think that the Korean manufacture has come a long way with their engines and they surprisingly get more horsepower bigger car and same fuel economy. 35+ for a sedan.

Alot has changed. Mazda is doing its own thing (for a while but they've especially stepped up their game post 2017 when they released the new generation of the cx5). Now it regularly lists as top 5 (for two years it was top 3) most reliable in consumer reports and car and driver year after year.
