Clout chasing pendejó
I recently had a 1/4 inch dia bolt lodged in a nearly new tire. Took it to the shop who sold me the tires. They elected to vulcanize the area from the inside instead of using a plug or patch saying the hole was too big. This procedure was much more detailed and time consuming but left me feeling much safer. I am not saying that your method is bad, just that it seems to depend on the size of the hole whether or not to use this kit.
This guy has the voice of Bob Ross!
what about 2012 honda odyssey
My 2020 Camry with that crappy 8 speed was the biggest pile of junk I've ever had. I used to joke the windshield wipers were the only thing that still worked right until they started acting up. A mechanic at the dealer told me they get lots of complaints about the 2018 and up Camry's but it probably won't leave me on the side of the road. Something you didn't mention was Toyota quietly replacing tens of thousands of the 4 cylinder engines because of bad castings in 2020. If it leaked oil through the casting it was replaced. Mine smelled like hot antifreeze so Toyota put block sealer in behind my back. It was up to the customer to find the problem. Newer Toyota's are throwaway pieces of junk. You can't rebuild any of the drive train because Toyota made it to minimal standards to save weight. Overheat the engine? New engine costing thousands. I paid extra to buy a Toyota because I still trusted their products back then. I went from a Toyota lover to a hater. Toyota wouldn't or couldn't fix that garbage car. Stick with a pre 2018 Camry. Those were bullet proof. Toyota quality has taken a serious dive recently. It started with the Camry in 2018.
Efficiency and reliability are the most wanted in a car
Thinking on buying a 2012 camry 227k miles is that still good for a camry ive never had a vehicle before this would be my first one i just want something reliable to get to work and back home everyday
This guy says the 4th gen is the best kzread.info/dash/bejne/eoemssFmkcvbc7g.html
I just got my first prius - 2017 prime. I love the way it looks, drives, ev range & gas mileage. To each his own, I guess.
8 speed to many gears
Thank you so much you just saved me hundreds of dollars. The auto repair shops are going to hate you though lol.
After reading some of the comments..."I've got 205,000 miles on my Subee. I love it and wouldn't drive anything else. Had to have the engine rebuilt twice due to bad head gaskets and warped heads, transmission replaced once...suspension few times, brakes every 6 months. I still don't trust the infotainment system which acts on its own at any time. Car feels noisy and underpowered...but I wouldn't drive anything else..." My 1976 Ford Pinto is laughing... so is my 1980 Yugo. Both have all the original parts.
Any vehicle will last a long time if you maintain it and don't drive it like a mad man. Also, even the best rated vehicles will get destroyed by irresponsible owners. Videos like this one are pointless...
Watch out for the second gen the BECM will go out be prepared to pay thousands .
I'm looking at a 2005 ES330 with 340k on it.. for 1500$.. Should i?
I wonder if those sorry dealership mechanics at Toyota Richardson included replacing the timing belt twice with less than 30K miles.
You saved me a bundle of money with your review of the 4th-gen Prius. I was considering "moving up" from my 2010 Prius (3rd-gen), but you showed me that I'm better off with the car I've got! (And as far as it goes with the 2010's piston-ring problems, I haven't experienced it and I'm just past 150,000 miles.) Granted, it's about as "exciting" as granola-and-soy-milk, but I'll testify with you that it GETS THE JOB DONE. And if I want an "exciting" rice, I'll take its "stablemate," my 2001 Corvette.
I have a 2013 Volt with 130k miles (100k of which I drove). Great car. I have a lifetime MPG of 110mpg. Since the car gets about 35mpg on gas, that means 75mpg is coming from wall charge. That means only 32% of the lifetime driving on this car has been propelled by the gas engine. So my gas engine only has 41k miles on it. The battery has not degraded at all because it has its own heating and cooling system. When you walk by the car on a hot day you can hear the chiller running. Great car!
CVT transmission are Total Junk, I hear. What about the Hydrogen Models? I think the v 6 had bad rings ( Massive Oil Useage) from the factory.
Funny 🤣
RAV4 came out in 1994
Im on my 6th subaru! Ty for the great info!
All yammering except at the end to tell us that Pepermint oil mixed with water in a spray bottle will do the trick. Could have said this in 1.5 min instead of 5min. I know it sounds mean but I literrally got tired of why rodents nest and where and what they bring in. Just tell me the fix and where to apply the spray and what to navigate around and be done.
all 3 junk , go transit
2nd generation seems a good option with 4-cylinder
I have a little vibration in my 2015... but for mine, you have to look for it, it's not otherwise a problem for me. Might help I'm in Florida so a/c is almost always on pushing up the RPM by about 100. If that's my biggest issue, I'll gladly take it!
4th gen: @10:02
🙏🏼
In Australia, it seems all the ravs after 2015 have the cvt instead of a standard gearbox. What are your thoughts on the cvt. I currently drive a 2011 rav4 2wd, and im in the market for a new car. This was a great video. Thank you 🇦🇺 ❤
2012-2016 CRV you forgot to mention inlet cam VVT actuator rattle, rear seat catches that break the plastic internals
Second generation Prius has combination meter issues 2nd generation Prius 2004 2005 the odometer stops at 299k
I want that tire on the back coz I'm a truly horrible parker. 😂
Fuckin stupid just like minis
Pruis seats very uncomfortable
Jesus Christ, what’s wrong with you people I’m talking about you. Just talk about the problems you ain’t gotta bring out props waste everybody’s time. Do you know anything? Or are you just watching KZread videos about valves and lifters? We’ve all seen these videos
Hi there. I’m buying one hopefully-it’s 2024. The one I’m buying is a 2005. Buying because I need a reliable vehicle for $5K or less. 164K miles…any thoughts? Or things I should check when I go test drive? Also, do you have any thoughts regarding an Avalon vs Solara? Thanks!
So do Grand Cherokees have 9 speeds transmissions? And do you know what they hell you are talking about - also - how many 3.6L Pentastars are out there? I know this as a guy who did rocker rollers/lifters - but I'd almost consider that maintenance - I did it myself which is way cheaper than a shop - but then there is the timing chain vs belt conversation, my cams were fine so only roller rockers and lifters, $350 in parts to do it myself, and as for the oil filler issue - that is because shops over tighten the filter cap, and likely use an impact
FYI 3.2L Cherokees do have 9 speeds - Grand Cherokees had 8 speeds - to the best of my knowledge
Love that view from your front door
I own this car and it has 319000 miles
I have the white/tan 2008 exact model as your video. I bought it with 96,000 miles on it still loving it at 150,000, she’s a keeper!
I didn’t even watch the video, just a devout subie owner here. The answer is YES
Very helpful. Thanks!
When he says carbon does he mean like rust around the oil cap?
How to remove the J-B weld between the gap?
The safety ratings aren't that great on the older ones
I like the manual options they had back in the 1st a d 2nd generation with AWD with a decent 2 liter that wasn't a failure like its successor the 2.4 oil burner
I have 2002 ex civic 235000 mil leak oil stick
I traded in my maintenance nightmare 2008 Infiniti QX56 for a black-on-black 2016 Toyota Highlander XLE three weeks ago with 99K miles. Night and day difference driving that SUV is a dream. This one will last me a long time. Awesome video 👍🏿!
This guy is not being honest I've had honads for years never had any issues nothing this guy is getting payed to bullshit by the goverment
My last honda had over 400.000 never touched any thing but oil changes
What about the difference btwn standard and automatic transmission?
