Hey Scotty, what about the new Civic vs Corolla. What should I buy?
0:00 Toyota Corolla
8:58 Ford Maverick
22:08 Toyota 4Runner
Just saved me time, thank you
Fantastic. Just fixed the problem with our 2011 sienna. The interior lights came on and off at will. Draining battery at night. Everyone said it’s old. Get a new vehicle. But turns out it needed rear door slider switches. The rubber covers had come off! 100$ fix. 323000 km. 200000 miles. We are happy. Thanks to our mechanic brothers who remind me of scotty.
Met someone with a2002 sienna and 500000 miles.
Last forever. 😊🇨🇦❤️
Thanks Scotty. 😎
Mazda deserves a spot in that lineup.
Thanks!
@@BigBadJohnDiesel my MAZDA BT 50 in europe ehehehe , the problem they dont sell mazda bt 50 in Portugal anymore ehehe , but my mazda bt 50 is the best truck to buy it eheheh
growing up and being an Adult while Scotty is in his prime Doing Car TH-cam Channel... what a time to be Alive...
His prime was in the 90’S
Scotty, I pray your around for another 100 years. You are so FULL of information, and ALOT of fun to listen to, with ALOT of knowledge. THANK YOU!!! Ken
He will be alive for another century for sure! Guaranteed!!!
Another??? You think Scotty is a 100 years old?!?!?!
@@melvin4553 Dumbledore
He will be! Noticed how ge get exercise while talking? 😂
@@Snorlax220 you, cuz I'm just joking
I am the original owner of a 4 Runner, 2004 with a 4.7 V8, sport edition. 184 K Miles. Yes, timing belt change-- on my third. I have never had any issues at all. Tight! Drives as if it were new! Most miles were highways. Total Toyota quality! I have maintained it to the extreme degree, full synthetic oil its whole life, differential the same. Transmission total flush at 65 K-drain and drain and fill after. It has to last because I am old and cannot afford to buy new. It is my baby, I love it. When I die, whoever gets it will have a gem. I use a good shop for maintenance. One of the mechanics offered me 20 K for my baby! He knows what shape it is in. No rust at all as I live in Western Oregon. I also put in after-market leather, and heated front seats.
Here in Aus you still commonly see 90's LandCruisers running down the road in pristine condition. Toyota know how to make vehicles that last forever. You just can't go wrong.
I know a guy that bought a brand new 1999 4runner and all he did was change the oil. It's still running strong with 900,000 miles on it.
@@OhioRiverFisherman Wow....Almost 38,000 miles a year huh? That is a lot of driving.
I own a 4x4 called Brutas (2010) Nissan Pathfinder rear wheel drive 4.0 liter v6 and no turbo. I have 90 K on it and drive 4000 miles a year. I know the feeling , I always said take the ultimate care of a vehicle I hope to have mine for another 10 years. My Ford Explorer is a 97 , ultimate care 4.0 Liter SOHC and never had anything major done to it. Maintenance and driving habits are everything. Mine is garage kept.
@@OhioRiverFishermanno engine goes 900k with nothing other than oil change. No vehicle goes 900k with nothing other than an oil change. Even the million mile tundra toyota owns admits they had to replace the transmission and perform multiple levels of maintenance and repairs on the engine.
I just bought a 2024 corolla hybrid le in Florida for 24k, and I am so satisfied with it. Used cars are ridiculously expensive right now and getting 60mpg in this economy makes it so worth it in the long run. Scotty makes me feel so confident with the way he reviews vehicles.
was that 24k with taxes and license?
Big fan myself of the Toyota hybrid system but depending on how much you drive a year it could take 6/8/10 years to pay off the drivetrain premium. That being said the convenience of not having to fill up so often and getting a high mpg feels good and is what I would choose too haha. Enjoy the new ride!
Before or after taxes? What about the 1095$ delivery fee and other fees? Where did you buy it from?
@@CroakerOutdoors I think that's true for most of the gas vs ev options, but the Corolla seems to be one of the few where it does not take that long to recover the cost.
@@CroakerOutdoors you are also forgetting maintenance. Hybrid break pads last basically forever and the 12v should last much longer. Ours lasted 10 years. Wear and tear on gas engine is also less on a hybrid so less chance of engine maintenance
The tech i like is lane keep assist, lane departure warning, front crash protection (slow/stop car if you dont) adaptive cruise control, these can save your life.
I agree. The Lariat is even better with lane centering and adaptive cruise. It is almost like an autonomous driving vehicle. I have demos on my content.
This guy is a blessing we don't deserve
I bought a 2023 Corolla Hybrid earlier this year. Didn’t get that great deal, but the driving and mpg is great. Never getting rid of this
How much did you pay if you don’t mind? Im about to take on the Las Vegas Toyota sales crew for the same vehicle. Thanks in advance
I bought 23 ORP 4runner ive had it almost a year and absolutely love it. Prior had 06 Tacoma sold it to a friend its still running strong with 270k+
I love my 2021 Toyota Corolla Hybrid LE. Getting 70 mpg city and only paid $20,600 off the lot brand new.
That's a great deal!
Do you plan to keep it for 300k+? If the answer is no, great deal. If yes...$$$.
I just bought my brand new 2023 Toyota Corolla LE hybrid in June and I LOVE it. My first tank of gas (break-in driving) I got 62 miles per gallon. I went to a tire shop and purchased a wheel and tire for my spare. Life is good. 😅
Scotty, I have been a follower of your channel for years, you always provide the best information and give your honest opinion. Thank you for this video.
i literally just bought a Ford Maverick XLT because of this video. Scott, you've cost me $33k. thank you for all your insight these years!
A Toyota dealership in Turnersville, NJ messed up my new Camry purchase. But they still had my $500 deposit and I was still willing to buy a car from them.
BUT the sales manager, you know the guy that comes to try and lock in the sale when the salesman can't. Well he came at me with an ATTITUDE! He managed to snatch defeat from the mouth of victory. They had a 21 point lead with 30 seconds left on the clock and their Sales "Manager" Screwed it up. He got insulting and said why don't we just refund your deposit you're not happy. I WAS disappointed with the situation but was still there to buy a car and I was putting $21K down on it! I was unhappy with HIS attitude!
Just bought a 2023 Civic Sport, Non turbo. Getting 40 mpg.
Yes, start-stop is nothing but wear on the engine.
I just love Scotty and his knowledge and sincerity about cars, hope his channel never end!!
#1. 94 Celica
We have a 2015 4 runner Trail premium paid $38K not much diff than the one you tested. We get 24-26 MPG on the highway. Has 95K no problems.
Just bought 24 Corolla Hatchback SE!
Same gray color!
I just bought a 2023 Tacoma because of Scotty!
Same did he tell us to get one !?
I have the 40th anniversary 4runner and I love it
The Toyota sells for 45 grand here in AZ. Makes a big difference.
The Mavericks starte at 40K from the dealers.
I have a new 2023 Maverick Hybrid front wheel drive and love it! Basic LX model with trailer hitch only option. $24,000. I've used it for all sorts of hauling assignments with my 4X8 trailer.
My wife also likes the truck! She refused to drive my old F-150. So far always 40+ MPG. All in all, it's perfect for my needs.
I got a 2022 ford maverick 2.0 ecoboost larrit awd I love it I payed 37.000 but I've got offers to buy it at 47 but I said no
@DanielRundellpnw833 I love the Maverick so much I bought 2 that I show on my channel"s videos.
I can not decide between a Ford Maverick and Nissan Frontier, which one is better.??
@@royjohnson4652 different vehicles
Can I drive your wife? I’m good on the maverick though
Scotty remembers like me, in the early 80's, the SUPERCARS accelerated @equal or WORSE than this COROLLA!!!😮 10.4s 0-60 was a HOT car! I grew up in muscle car era, born '60...
I have a 2022 ford maverick xlt fx4. 30,000 miles later, still love the thing. Mostly highway miles, ranging from 29-32 mpg. Incredibly smooth riding. 16 gallon tank hurts to fill up 😂 but I love the truck
Yes Paul, I have an AWD in my videos from Park City. The overall fuel cost is not much more than my Mav hybrid.
A cartruck 😂. Now I can take my catdog for a ride. 😅
If the government was not behind electric vehicles, very few people would buy them and by the same token, many companies would avoid making them. Electric vehicles eat up a lot of natural resources in their manufacturing process.
Exactly the same can be said of cars in general, without tens of trillions in straight up free infrastructure, literally no one would be driving a private automobile right now.
@@davik9003hence the importance of making high quality goods out of quality materials that’s easily repairable
That’s just Old thinking. everything takes time to ramp up. And it’s coming fast.
Yep hope they keep making cheaper reliable cars and pickup trucks in petrol and diesel we still need our vehicles to last us 20years into the future before we rebuild or upgrade them if they keep making quality Toyotas we all will be happy 😊 and its great Toyota are still making a strong full chassis under their rigs 👍
i like the toyota 4runner
Toyota Corolla and Prius shared the same platforms for a long time. Its just a preference towards styling. Corolla looks better and less embarrassed. At least the new Prius did change my mind
Best vehicle was my 1970 C10 Stepside V8 with Manual Transmission.
68 stepside/wall of bed spare/wood bed 3 on the tree, 6.
no
Nice!
@@sebg2086nooby you are, better reliability, less complexity in that truck.
It's why I have my 07 Classic Silverado 1500.
@@raoultesla2292i learned manual in a 76 Scottsdale C10 with 350 and 3 on tree, easily converted it to a 4 speed auto in the 90s.
I was a financial analyst for a manufacturing company, and we had 1 of our 6-7 plants in Mexico. We would run reports to determine what the cost per measurement was for each plant each month.
Sure, the labor in our plant in Mexico was 1/3rd of one of our U.S. plants, but there were several issues that ate the savings and made that plant less cost efficient as our 2 best U.S. plants.
Turnover was way too high. This negatively impacted the quality of the product, which increased the number of products that couldn't be sold and warranty claims.
There were several other problems, but the turnover is what caused quality issues, IMO.
Scotty....1 of a kind...
2.0 Ecoboosts engines are very reliable and definitely are tried and true now. Been out a little over a decade and haven't had any major issues really. Very dependable engine with decent power figures.
No tranny issues? Ford sucks for that problem
@@MarkMeridiusDecimus My 2015 ford fusion with the typical 6 speed has been 100% reliable and zero tranny issues. Shifts totally fine. Idk about the 8 or 10 speed, but I am picking up my Ford Maverick in December with an 8 speed. We'll see. Engine though, been 100% totally reliable and dependable.
Scotty is the man.
You can get the XL with the ecoboost. I got one with AWD, 4K tow. The transmission cooler is beefier and other parts are better.
Yes, I uploaded content showing all 8 items you get with 4k tow. It's better torque is even faster off the line.
I have a 2001 ford explorer, it is my first car and it is great for all my needs. Runs great and is one tough little suv. I replaced my shocks, front wishbones and control arms. Recently my my cv axles started to pop, so i will look into replacing them soon. Everything else is great, and as of this comment 199,656 miles on the odometer
My wife and I was looking at one those 4 runners at a dealership here and they wanted 69k. I said that yall are fricken nuts. I was pulling it up on line and showed them, and said it again. I told them that we will go out of state and get one. All these dealership in this town were making new stickers and had them marked up 20k on every single vehicle that was on their lots. Damn crooks.
Because people are paying those prices. They're charging that much because they can. They're doing the same thing with Chargers and Challengers because people are under the impression they are collector cars. Like I tell everyone, just stop buying new cars, learn how to fix them.
Dealer near me has a white 40th with no markup. Not sure if I like it better tan the black but it looks decent.
Having a Ford with a stop/start function, I can honestly say that is the most insane feature I have ever seen on a vehicle. They literally designed the thing to give you are chore every single time you start the car. -lean down, turn the function off. Literally the action that damages your car the most(starting it) and they want you to do it over and over again as you drive in town. For what? to save 1 penny for every stop sign you get to? Insanity.
You can turn that function off
But to turn it off, you need to do so EVERY TIME you start it up. Easy to get used to.
I bought a new 2023 Honda Odyssey EX in June. 280 hp 3.5L V6, 10 speed automatic transmission, front wheel drive, 144.9 cubic feet of cargo space, over 30mpg highway (EPA rated 28 mpg, but I have taken several road trips, and with smooth traffic on cruise control I have gotten 33-35 mpg at times), 18 inch alloy wheels with all season tires, several safety alert systems, made in USA, and tons of other features. I think the Odyssey should be on the list instead of the Maverick.
Good information. Thank you.
I checked out the 2023 Odyssey's, front seats were way more uncomfortable to me than the 2016 Odyssey we own. Went with a new 2024 Maverick. Dealer here wanted $10k more for the base Odysseys than the base Maverick with 2.0.
@@goodjunkworkshop8383 Thank you for the information.
Those new Corolla Hybrids really are a great deal for a daily driver/commuter car! I hear the seats are comfortable, too!
They're not such a great deal. That 23k that Scotty mentioned doesn't include the $1095 destination fee, taxes, fees, license, port installed accessories, dealer markup etc. Here in Dallas, you'll pay 30k OTD for a new Corolla Hybrid LE and 29k OTD for a new Corolla LE
I I have a 2021 hybrid Corolla. I get consistently 60 mpg in city and 51 mpg on highway. Just change your oil every 5000 miles and use Toyota 0w 16 OEM. To be exact, change oil yourself or go to a trustworthy mechanic with your own oil. Dealerships use the cheapest oil in the market, that’s why people get 54 mpg in city.
Scotty. I watch your videos before looking for cars. You are my go to for car recommendations. Thank you!
❤
I am looking forward to the STOUT from Toyota, if they offer a basic model it should be able to give that Ford Maverick some real competition.
The stout looks amazing! If I could buy 5 I would
still have the a OG Toyota pick up truck. good old 22r carb. with a manual 4 speed. It has its issues but it is bulletproof.
@@fredericksweet first truck bought paid 300 bucks, 87 model with 187,000 miles. Drove it for five years and had 267,000 miles. Traded it in and got 1500 bucks. Good payback
The Toyota trucks with the 22R were something else. If you got a manual and changed the oil and managed not to get T-Boned or rear ended would last till today. Had to do a clutch at 250 thousand. Clutch was original as were the ball joints , universal joints, radiator and the AC still pumped cold air. Great truck for sure!
Yea I pulled the trigger on a maverick. I'm waiting for the scout, but dont regret my decision. IMO, in this case, the reward goes to those that risks. Ford did it to finally give people what they want in trucks. Smaller, affordable, reliant. Hey let Toyota improve I welcome the new era.
In 2011 i bought a brand new Corolla S....120k miles later, other than common issues, I've only replaced the alternator. Next year my son is getting his DL ....he already knows that's his car.
My 2008 ford ranger 3.0 liter engine is the most reliable vehicle I’ve ever owned only item need replacing was the heater fan, Tolstoy cost approximately 100 dollars. Wish ford could make all the cars they make this reliable.
The 3.0 have valve problems and get very bad gas mileage. I had a 2003 Ranger. Only got 18 mpg and it was stick. I seen f150s with the 5.0L get better mileage.
Mines not a hybrid, but I recently got a 2020 Corolla SE Hatchback with only 5500k on it. So far I've been loving it. For "just a Corolla" they're honestly really nice little cars, and come with a lot of modern features and comforts. Before this I had a 2012 Mini Cooper, and that thing was fun to drive, but it made me want a car that's just reliable. I'm really hoping to make this Toyota last. Want to try to take it to 150k, and with the mileage I put on that's going to take forever.
How do I permanently disable the auto stop/start on my 2022 Kia Telluride? I hate it.
I love my Maverick. Best vehicle I have had in a long time. Fyi, my last truck was a Tacoma. Great truck. My second car is an LS430. Best car.
WE ❤️ SCOTTY!!!
Have to disagree with going with the gas Maverick instead of Hybrid. Scotty you’ve said yourself that Ford uses licensed hybrid tech from Toyota. And Ford’s ecoboost engines are known to be problematic. Not to mention- they’ve also noticed some trans issues on those ecoboosts. No problems with trans on the hybrid due to the eCVT.
I have one of each version I show on my videos. The hybrid is practical but the turbo is fun!
@@fordmaverickmaniac Until the turbo goes out and starts to leak oil.
I know you do not like Nissans, but my 2010 rear wheel drive Pathfinder 4x4 is a gem, 90K always serviced with the best Synthetic oil and garage kept I hope to have it a long time . No CVT with a 4 liter rear wheel drive regular automatic transmission it should be with me till I leave this earth.
Hybrids are good for ya (Toyota Corolla Hybrid) but then you say Hybrids are bad for ya (Ford Maverick Hybrid)…
But you really loved the 4 Runner, and I think that for towing it’s the best bet…
"Ergodynamic" 😂 Never change scotty
I love Scotty too and I’m learning a lot I wish there were more honest mechanics around especially for us women. Thanks again scotty
You should check to see if any subscribers want to feature one of the newer Priuses. They looks a lot better.
As a Minnesotan, I had to laugh at Scotty referring to Northern MN as a "whacko place" LOL. Truth be told, there are a lot of whackos up there 🤣.
Our gasoline ‘14 Corolla only has 14K miles, runs like a top and we have zero plans to get rid of it.
I drove a hybrid corolla rental and was HIGHLY impressed by it, it suddenly went from non existent on my list of possible next car to buy, to near the top!
1. Corolla
2. Ford Maverick
3. 4runner
It looks like that house across the street is giving you the raised eyebrow, Scotty.
You are hilarious! Funny thing is I relate to you! Your so right! Ty
Bought my Maverick for a daily driver to and from work and I love it. Great little truck
❤😂thanks I am not a driver but I really want now about cars Thanks for showing this I have grand kids an want out do them 😏🤓😝✅💭❤️
At 200,000 miles these hybrids are pretty much like a gold digger 😂. My Camry has 220,000 miles. Still running like a champ 💪
Thank you Scotty for all of your hard work everyone loves it❤
Me too.
Scotty would make the perfect dry martini for 007, shaken not stirred 😂
I would love a 4runner but knowing I can get 2 new corollas for less it doesn't make sense. Sure 4wd would be great but I wonder how many use it more than twice a year while owning the vehicle.
Best made vehicle ever Scotty! 4Runner is timeless and amazing
Hell yeah I just bought. A 2019 in cash…goddamn gas mileage of a v8 tho holy Christ I thought a v6 wasn’t supposed to hog so much gass
Yep tacos 4Runners and tundras for the win
The switch for most of the start/stop systems I've seen is nothing more than a momentary switch. Usually it's no more complicated than shorting the terminals together permanently and then it's off until you undo that On my dad's F-150 we attached wires and mounted a toggle switch under the dash to control the function, so that when it goes in for service, he can turn that function back on and it acts according to expectations. Much better than always getting annoyed at the first stop light on every drive.
@ironclaw6969 crazy ain’t it? I’m in UK they put that crap on cars too luckily it’s not on our Ford but it’s a dumb feature. If I end up in a proper jam like an accident I’ve got sense to switch car off as long idling no good for any car. But just stopped at lights or waiting at a junction it’s just gonna wear out starter motor etc,,,how it is supposed to save fuel or be greener I can’t believe they added such a naff feature to cars. Mind you world these days. Mind you like Scotty showed us those Tesla with no dash behind wheel it’s all on a screen in the centre, so you got to look away from the road to check speed, fuel etc Elon supposed to be this genius makes cars where people forced to look away from the road rather than be able to just glance down at the wheel. Unbelievable. Fair play whey you did on your dads F-150.
Noice!
Just don't bother buying extended warranties, which I think for most vehicles is worth the risk. For how often those warranties screw you over, it's a roll of the dice either way. Every vehicle is different. I know with the Civic, you have to take the shifter apart and install a module. Just wish they made the system optional instead of always shoving this crap down people's throats that don't want it.
I’m not against ev, it makes sense if you’re only driving around town to the piggly wiggly and occasional long trip, but what about people like me who own a business where i pull heavy equipment 75-120 miles one way every day, i just don’t think the technology is there to in anyway compete with my 6.7 f350 diesel’s
The price as you Scottie is insignificant, since they have markups just about everywhere at the dealerships. So that Ford pick up truck under 30,000 I swear it’s probably 40,000 with the markups.
Recently I've found that the naturally aspirated version is becoming fairly widely available at msrp
12:14 I laughed way too hard at that thumbnail
Only buy a turbo-hybrid if it is a Toyota, made by imported Japanese workers, in Mexico.
Wow!..no spare tire? When I bought my 2001 Camry - back in 2001 - it came with a *full size* spare tire. this kinda reminds me of modern-day bag of chips...
Hey, "Cletus" lost a toof again !!! LOL
Change the oil every 3 to 5 thousand miles. Have had many fords, mostly Ranger and Mustang. 1 Crown Victoria and never had an engine failure. 2.3, 4.0 and 3.0 on the Rangers and got as many as 250.000 mies. The Ranger trucks are bullet proof with ball joints, clutch, of course battery tires and brakes. The Crown Vic needed a new intake manifold(2000) and was expected. At 125.000 miles ran like new. Every Ford bought never left us on the road. 4.6 liter engine on the Crown, it had the plastic intake that should have been a recall replaced when cracked and started spewing coolant on the coil pack. Once fixed like new. These cars can run 300,000 miles with marginal up keep. They are still transporting people as Taxis in every major city in the U.S. They are also still used by the government because of the longevity and the bullet proof design.
Problem with new car prices is that the used car market is so hot that in many cases you may as well buy new
1. Toyota Corolla
2. Ford Maverick
3. Toyota 4Runner
I love my 22 maverick XLT! I love engine, 3.7 second 0-60. Quite engine not over technically complicated. First week of driving I expirenced braking system.
after someone jumped across intersection I was going above 35mph and was less than 30 feet from impact. I thought I was going expirenced heart ache then boom! Brakes stopped on dime, inches away from other car. 😶😂
Before getting my maverick, I rented 22 mustang with eco boost in Florida over vacation. I felt driving the two was very similar but just with different bodies. Mexico manufacturers is building reputable reputation. Which should be good thing for Americans.
Good summary! Yes the tech can save your life. I own 2 Mavericks I show in my videos, both with CP360.
I think the whole "SCOTTY ARMY" are MANIACS!😃That's a good thing.
Gosh I wish I could have you with me in trying to find our forever vehicle. My husband wants to retire in a few years. We are by bar none not rich in money but we try to take care of what we have and my van we bought second hand almost 7 years ago I trying to decide whether to keep it because I love it or find something newer. My van is a 2008 Chrysler Town & Country Touring. So we are searching for something similar that is comfortable for us to ride in as well....Love your video info always..Blessings
I want to replace the radio in my prius but I am told that the car computer is tied into the radio so I can't replace the radio. I have seen kits through Crutchfield to put a different radio in my car but I am not sure if it will work well or not. Anyone that's done this and can weigh in??? Thanks.
The 5th Gen 4Runner like this one but in TRD Off Road Premium is my favorite Toyota.. I'm hoping to get one.. I don't want the new Gen Toyotas
my 97 civic HB 5 speed never broke down
I got a hybrid corolla in 2022, so glad I did because the new ones get 6 mpg less, the power for me is just fine.
You must be getting mileage in the high 60’s because my 2023 Corolla is getting high 50’s per gallon..
@@JonnieShipbaugh-dc9wk On my usual work commute I get around 52, its been higher lately around 54 or 55 and thats because it has been cooler out. My roomate has the 2023 se hybrid and it gets less mph than mine. It depends on the terrain and type of route that you drive. I find that city driving, stop light to stop light type driving the car gets the worst mileage and I find that highway driving it gets the best. Im not buying it gets better in the city because it does not.
I've gotta chance to buy a new Tacoma 2023 with V6. Dealer says it's the last one they will get.
Should I buy it? I'm 73 so light use, maybe one I can pass down to a grandkid.
Thanks for the video 👍👍
I looked at getting a Ford Maverick for a while, but I decided that the Santa Cruz was a much better choice. The standard engine is a lot stronger than the Maverick’s hybrid and the interior was MUCH more refined. Maverick’s have had issues with the seat fabric separating from the cushions.
Hyundai also has a better warranty and the infotainment system is waaaaay better than what the Maverick has.
Also… you get a smaller cooler in the bed and don’t have to wait for the limited production schedule that the Maverick has.
If I were looking at a fleet truck for my business, then I would definitely go with the Maverick. The Santa Cruz is just a better personal vehicle all around.
Yes a hyundai is a great choice. Probably would have been better to literally get anything else but
Warranty is only good if they decide to honor it.......

@@1976axerhand - It was just the wiring harness for the tow hitch that had a chance to melt. A simple recall and an hour at the dealership fixes it.
@@devenmellor i was being sarcastic. They are trash
Thank you Scotty!
Those 4 Runners are nice. I would own one. I also like the Tundras but I'll probably never be able to afford one especially new. 😅
I really love the Chevy Bolt EUV . The 2023 has been very reliable and have zero issues.
It's a chevy that's the problem very poor quality control.
The 4 runner is the supreme King of Toyotas
Nice review Scotty that Corolla hybrid looks nice . 👍
You went easy on the mustang and charger owners
That NEW 2023 Toyota LE Hybrid was once in a life time buy, IF HE REALLY paid that for it.. Hell, can't find that price even for a used with 20k on it..
When it comes to start/stop: one of the tips I've learned on my Ford Bronco, you CAN get it to automatically have start/stop off, if you leave it in sport mode. Technically when the car starts up next time, it will ask if you want to keep it in sport mode, and you do technically have to press ok on the steering wheel. But then it prompts you every time you start the car so you remember, rather than remembering after it shuts off at the first stop. 😂
And yes, a Wildtrack Bronco is very fun to drive in sport mode. lol
