I have owned several cars in my lifetime at 73. Still have 16 of them. But I have found out that it isn't always a car manufacturer that have problems with their vehicles. I believe 60%-70% of the time, or more, that it's how the owners maintain and how they drive their cars, that determines how trouble free a car will be.

I think the question is less about how reliable is a car when its maintained, and more about how reliable is a car when its neglected. Buying used, you can't know 100%, most also don't want to have to spend thousands maintaining a car, as most people buying economy cars truthfully can barely afford the cars they own, nor do they know what to even do with cars. You also just have simple design issues and quality control issues that lack with some brands, and you can't 'maintain' that. Case and point, Cadillac's old Northstar engines, until 06, they were complete garbage, and even AFTER 06 they were blowing headgaskets, more rarely and prematurely under warranty, but still happened. Quality control also plays a factor, what is the likelihood your car was built correctly and up to a standard? Toyota/Honda have higher QC, therefore, they have a higher standard, therefore, you're less likely to get a 'bad' car. Though I generally agree, I think the Toyota tax, especially right now, is absurd, 20 year old Toyota's going for 5K-6K, its not worth it, all cars break, even Toyota's, even if its less likely.

Honestly its 50/50. After watching scottys many videos allot of the issues i keep seeing on these older vehicals have no preventative maintenance that would affect it.

Scotty I have a 2003 Toyota Sequoia with 348k on it and I'm the original owner. It is by far the best buying decision I have ever made. Twenty-five years ago I would have never bought a Japanese car. The last America I owned was a 99 Grand Cherokee with the inline 6, nice engine but the rest of the mechanicals on that car were total crap. After six years of ownership it was an endless money pit. I even went to work at a dealer that sold the newer versions of that car, what a nightmare. My wife driven the Sequoia for 10 years before I got to use it regularly. Scotty, I must say it's a shame that domestic car companies are so short sighted and do not respect the customer by offering a good product that last. The Japanese has taken years to build a quality reputation for which Honda and Toyota continue today. Thank you for your good work and informative videos.

Speak for yourself my brother

I love our Subaru Foresters. I have a '99, hubs has a 2000. Both are automatic and well over 200K miles, and were when we bought them used within the last 2 years. I paid $1000 for my '99; he paid $800 for his, which is even a sports model. We drive them everywhere. This is my 2nd Subaru. My first was a '98 Legacy Sport, Canadian, manual shift. I had it for about five years when it finally rusted beyond repair; sold it for the engine. After that I had a '98 Honda CRV and loved that baby! Unfortunately, the shop that replaced the transmission did NOT use genuine Honda fluid in it and it ruined the engine after a couple of years. But, we had it almost five years before trading it in and got $1000 on the trade. Way back in the day I had a '79 Toyota Celica and then an '81 Celica; both manual shift and loved them both. I was also looking for a used RAV4 when we bought my '99 Forester, but if a RAV4 had come up first, I'd have bought one.

We had the misfortune receiving a turbo-charged Velocitor as a rental after our car was in the body shop: Trash. It was one of the worst automotive experience we have ever had and we are mechanically and automotively inclined people. (How does one, in good conscience, name a vehicle model "Velocitor" if its turo-charged power train is completely gutless? Perhaps, they derived the name from the French "Velo" for bicycle-- that's how fast it was")

I have a 1998 Sienna with 158K on it. No rust and runs perfect. Thank you for providing such detailed videos Scotty. You are THE MAN! The list of upgrades and maintenance repairs that I've done myself over the past few years is long, I paid $2k for my van 5yrs ago. I was recently offered $4500 cash in hand. I couldn't do it! The van is so reliable.

Being a Chevy guy when I was young, I became very frustrated with their quality during the 80s and 90s. Since 1993 my wife and I have owned 4 Toyota Camrys and 2 Honda Accords . To me Toyota makes the best cars. The Hondas are good but I have had to replace more on them than my Toyotas .

Toyota Verso 105,000 miles, same battery and exhaust. Except for 2 front wheel bearings and the usual brakes, tyres and oil changes. I've had zero trouble, never broke down and it's 10 years old. Toyota's are fantastic!

I honestly bought my car after watching this guy so these companies could advertise here and the return would be 1000X.

I used to drive 135 miles a day to work in Chicago from Wisconsin. I had 2 Chevy Prizms ( they had Toyota engines and transmissions ) not one of them got over 140,000 miles and had major problems after 100,00 miles. I have a 2013 Kia Rio with 220,000 miles I am retired now but still drive it. It has had 3 sets of brakes a battery a belt and a alternator. Also 3 sets of tires and of course oil changes. I don't know how much longer it will go but it runs.

I think the thing that brings Nissan down is that Jatco CVT. Their engines aren't nearly as good as Toyota or Honda anymore but they are at least somewhat better than a Hyundai/Kia. It seems most Hyundai or Kia engines when they get above 80,000 miles start getting loud valve clacking, oil burning, or head gasket blowing.

I have a 2002 Lexus is300 with like 250k miles and I just finally had to replace the head gasket and do some actual maintenance with it. That thing is such a workhorse I love it

Ahh yes, 50 minutes of Scotty screaming at my face

Hi Scotty, my son has a 2005 Maxima and with over a 150k miles on the one you showed, I would have expected that they have already replaced the timing chain. We had to recently do that for his car. Running great after that, but you are spot on with A/C. Changed that earlier this year on his. He replaced about 135k. However, with the cost of cars now with all the shortages, it would be impossible to replace with a car that performs like his for less than the repairs.

In my state there's no state auto inspections. When the catalytic converters go bad, I would just cut them off, drive without them😂😂.

Technically that is illegal, you could get fined. Off road use only.

It's not as simple as that because throwing out the catalytic converters will usually make the ECU go crazy from the O2 sensors' information.

Scotty, can you do a video on all pick-up trucks. Love to know what you think. Yes we need him as a mechanic in every state. Great vid

I have 2001 Maxima with over 185000 miles on it. It has passed every safety inspection here in Finland where those inspections are brutal to pass. It has been reliable car, but now one of the cats are going bad.

Love it, thank you sir! I appreciate everything you do.

I've been studying all things auto for the last six months. I could've watched one of your vids and been good to go!

I swear this channel is why I go on KZread every day

Very interesting Scotty enjoyed watching i learn something everday from you .✌

Great videos, and like the random images, good comedic touch 😁

Had a 2007 altima v6,,,bought it for 7k with 69k miles, sold it for 3k with 212k miles,,,,drove it for almost 150k miles and the only thing I had to repair was a $76 radiator. It was a great car.

I mean the thing is 15 years old. From what I’ve heard the older ones are not so bad as far as the quality is concerned. I wouldn’t buy one any newer than 5 or 10 years

I have a 2012 Altima with the same 3.5L V6 with over 240,000 miles with the exact same issues as the 2007 Maxima in this video. Scotty knows his stuff. Thankfully South Carolina has no emissions requirements either.

LOVE YOU SOO MUCH SCOTTY !!! THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR TEACHINGS ❤️❤️❤️

Scotty I love your videos you sure look and move a lot younger than your age!! God bless you and your family Thank you for all you do.🙏😇♥️

Fantastic review Scotty, I did not know about the Acura ILX. Great car. Thank you

I got a 06 Infiniti (Nissan) G35. Overall it's been solid for me, but a few parts here and there went bad: 2 wheel bearings and 1 window motor. It goes through oil (bad piston rings) but the engine will last if you keep it topped up. Not as reliable as our Civic, but a fun and reasonably priced sports coupe.

07' Xterra here. Bought it almost year ago. The suspension was shot but put new Bilsteins and AAL. Manual 4x4s are hard to come by Nissan seems good if you're willing to put some money into it

I bought my ‘04Lexus RX new..it now has over 200,000 miles on it and I have never had any issues with it except the CD player had to be fixed but it was still under warranty. It has only had routine maintenance , and still looks and drives great. The design is timeless! I recently bought a 2019 Kia Soul which I also love and hope it does just as well as my Lexus . It’s fun to drive, very peppy, roomy, and …adorable!!!!!
