O u c,,
I have to comment here Scotty, I agree partially about Suzuki, BUT! I have owned many only because I made good money reselling them, and the only ones I have had experience personally with are, Suzuki Swift and Geo Chevy Metro. The best 1.3L engines and manual 5spd!! I have had them run to 400,000 miles!! I currently have A 2000 Swift 5spd 1.3L 16valve 42mpg! And only 182,000 low miles, I can say this only because I have dealt with these Awsome Eco box cars! But don’t deal with those 3spd automatics!! Absolute Garbage!
You forgot Isuzu..the trooper was a great car.
Wear a mask so you wont spray it.
Your going to pass Covid to your viewers. Lol

I would have to agree with him 100 percent. Nissan has become the Dodge of Japan.
Nissan is terrible, it breaks in the ways you never expected
my acura is nothing but problems
I didn't realize Nissan's reputation had dropped. Back when I was a lot younger families that didn't drive American cars drove Honda, Toyota, Mazda and Nissan as they were super popular. In the last 15 years or so it just seemed to be a toss up between Honda and Toyota for top dog and then Mazda would sneak in from time to time. The most surprising is in the last 10 years Hyundai's popularity. I ended up in one because the payments and warranty were better than Honda or Toyota.
I am now looking again but I have no idea what I will get. It's the early stages yet so I am just passively perusing the web.
@@Cruzan9 Subaru has overtaken Hyundai/Kia at the four spot. Get one of these top four and you should be good without any glaring issues.
Toyota, Honda, Mazda, and Subaru.
My dad's old 1993 Honda Accord was over480,000 miles and on its 4th owner last i heard. I sold it with 320,000 miles on it to its 3rd owner. Engine and transmission never had any issue's. Honda Accords from the early 90's are truly the best all around cars ever made.
I recently discovered how Scotty stays healthy; he exercised his arms & hands by waving them around! 😀
Ah saw what you did there
I never noticed 😂🤣😁
Jumping Jacks, mechanic style
Scotty has added years to his life using this one little trick!

Truth is music conductors have longer than average life spans. Very healthy hearts. That arm movement plays a huge role....
Had a guy come into our shop with a '92 4runner, it had over on million miles on it with the original engine and transmission. Toyota offered to buy it from him for $200,000 so they could take it apart and see what they did right.
mushroomhead2112 that is a pretty cool story.
Had to be a 22RE with a 5-speed (because it wasn't a 3VZE with an automatic)
I would have Toyota take out the engine and trans and put it in a new 4Runner so I can drive another million.
@Captain Howdy what would be considered one of these 'older Mercedes'? What year does that cutoff generally start?
@Captain Howdy interesting..I've seen a guy drive around my area with what I think is an 80s 380sl. Wonder how many miles he's got on that. Really beautiful car they dont make them like they used to these days with almost any company.
As a Mazda owner, I'm glad Scotty had nothing negative to say about them. I'm very happy with my 2017 and would be glad to be a repeat customer when it comes time to replace it.
Which Mazda do you have?
@@cleophasmatinhari6188 I'm a Honda owner and love but I'm considering the new MX5. I've been in the Mazda 3 and that's also a good little car. Might not be as reliable as HON/TOY but shouldn't be bad to work on and most are 2.0 L.

george ibrahim did ya watch the video?
I bought a 1979 280Z that had been sitting for over 20 years. The car had been sitting so long that the tread was spinning on the inner part of the tire. I cleaned out the fuel tank and threw some new injectors in it and it ran like new. I was so impressed with that little car.
Hey Mr. Kilmer, thanks a lot for all of your videos. You are the reason why I have a Toyota today. You give off Dad vibes and when I get in my 2018 corrolla ...I hear your voice. You are a great influence and give great advice. God bless you for being a source of trustworthy information 👍 🙏🏾
If anyone is surprised that Toyota is #1 and Honda is #2, you haven’t been paying attention to Scotty’s channel! 😂
Honda should not be #2 they have a lot of problems. I would say LexusToyota is #1 and Mazda is #2
And Subaru being near the bottom
Lmao what? Mazda? The rotary? Apex seals?
Or just don’t know about cars at all. My #1 Toyota, #2 Honda, #3 Subaru & my #4 hyundai
@@AJ88874 I concur. While I used to have Honda @ #2, II would put them at #3 at best, with Subaru #4 and slowly climbing.
“Crappy transmissions in crappy Nissan cars. It goes hand in hand.”

Scotty with the sizzle.
The all new 2021 Rogue is very sharp to look at …...
Nissan belong to sizzler.
@@bextar6365 But the Rogues are sooo common. Here in the southeastern us they are everywhere. In a 2-3 years that 2021 Rogue will be one of the most seen car on the road. That and their unreliability is why I would never buy it.
Nissans look awesome. But that reliability just is not there. Coulda been great tho!
@@evanwalley My uncle still got his 240z.
The Honda Prelude was the nicest car I ever owned. Went through 3 used ones over the years. Rust got them in the end but what a pleasure to drive. Now I'm very happy with my 2004 Honda Accord which I bought 8 years ago for $3000. A bicycle would be more expensive to run.
I think Hondas are built with rust in the body panels. They are great cars, but you have to really keep up with keeping the body clean as possible from dirt and salt.
Used to LOVE Accords and Preludes.. then I found a 07 Fit. My favorite Honda car by far!
Just discovered your channel, can't tell you how much I am enjoying it. Entertaining, very informative, great job, keep it up.
I like how he talks a little bit, cuts the video, packs up his camera and stuff and hustles over to another location to continue his speech lol
Same !!!
It’s genius. If he were to stay in one spot, viewers would get bored fast. It’s something I learned in a video production class in high school. Most TV shows and movies don’t go more than 10-20 seconds without cutting to a new frame.
Lol
That’s why he always seems out of breath

Scotty you certainly read the old "Popular Mechanics" magazines in the 70's/80's! They were very good, as well as instructive, they were a lot of fun. You are the modern video version of those magazines. Greetings from Brazil.
Gus's Garage!
The last job I did on my murano before the transmission went out was change the alternator. I had to remove the radiator just to get the alternator out. First job on our new to us Corolla was changing the alternator. Took me 20 minutes! The thing is bolted right on top just under the beauty cover PLUS the belt tensions itself. What a difference in engineering.

Yup. Mechanic is just his part time job for side income
Hahaha
That's priceless!!
Put some music in the background no difference
Uhhuh......that orchestra would be makin' some weird herky jerky noises alright.
Scotty, did you forget about the Toyota oil sludge problem with V-6?
Toyota stood behind their bad engines only because of a class-action lawsuit.
If a car was under warranty and you had the oil changed anywhere other than at a Toyota dealer, Toyota would say, "Sorry, you voided your warranty". Apparently, the owner's manual did not specify that the oil was to be changed only by Toyota.
This caused lots and lots of problems.
Hi Scotty - I'm down here in Australia and are a fan of your show! My daily driver is a 1991 Honda Legend saloon, Acura Legend to you lot in the US. Now I know you said larger Honda's were not brilliant compared to their smaller cars, but mine has done 160,000 miles, still rides like a dream and has had no issues to any of the main components. Its been regularly serviced which with any car at the end of the day is the key to longevity! Belts have been done, main fuel relay, crank idle sensor etc all done within time. It's 31 years old, leather is perfect, paint is great etc I keep on thinking to replace it, even with a Toyota... but its proven so reliable and a comfy car to drive that I can't part with it. All the best.
I had a 2002 Civic SI with 230,000 miles that was running rough. Turned out it needed a valve adjustment, after that it ran like new. Scotty is right again.
How much does that cost
@@moe.moe.codgamer5125 knowledge...$0 unbeatable
700

$250 at the time, probably more nowadays.
My 2005 RA needs a Valve adjustment too. Comes with MIVEC. (Mitsubishi VTEC) 160k miles. Dude is so cap putting Mitsubishi at 6 lol. Considering Hyundai/Kia took over Mitsubishi’s old technology 🤣 this guy is hilarious

"REV UP YOUR ENGINES COCKSUKKERS!" -SavageScotty
And down with California
YES, my first car was a 1970 Dastsun 510 wagon. Four on the floor, standard tranny. Single, overhead cam. Had it for 15 years and at 320K miles, the body rusted out where the motor mounts sat, rotted out and after a long road trip, when I shut the engine off, the slight, vibration caused the engine to drop to the ground. Got lucky, sold it to a guy who wanted the engine for a demolition derby car. It competed for 2 years, 24 weekends a year. Won some crazy races too. Loved to watch that little sucker go. Since then, all Toyotas, and on my third one, best was a 4WD Tercel. Wish Toyoda would make a 4WD Corolla WAGON.
Idk man, I've had 2 Suzuki's back to back for work, current one is a 2011 kizashi, with AWD, something neither Camry or Accord offered at the time, and it's only gotten late oil changes and brakes once. 157k miles on it, original CVT and performs amazingly. It just starts and goes every time
Still own
It's only in America where people worry about how many miles a car has. In Africa we drive grandfathers car bought in 1982 and still running .😁😁
lotta toyotas in africa though no?
They have cars in Africa?
They have grandfathers in Africa?
same in philippines
@@pegbars What kind of question is that?
nobody but scotty in every video: "when i was a young mechanic."
Scotty, I love your videos and respect your knowledge, Thank you much for helping all of us. How often should I have my Honda Element valves adjusted?
I’m fortunate, my 2007 Mitsubishi Endeavor has 196,000+ with no major issues other than replacing wear parts: brakes/rotors, battery etc. with only the original fuel pump going out last year🤞🏼
You would have made a hell of an orchestral conductor.
Mazda deserves that spot. They've come a long way improving their cars and their reliability is somewhat at par with Toyota and Honda. And I like the fact that they provide beautiful & premium exterior-interior designs without having to create a different premium brand like Honda and Toyota does.
I bought a new 1974 Mazda B1600 pickup. It was a BIG lemon. But, with the B1800, reliability started improving. But, I will never buy another Mazda.
Mazda had a luxury brand called eunos
Scotty recently mentioned that Mazda has a new partnership with Toyota and that Mazda’s have been improving.
@@harryhwc76 actually they are now seperated. Thus Mazda is getting better.
Here, in Saudi Arabia where I live, you have to wait from 4 to 6 months to collect your Maxda car from the dealer. They are selling like hot cakes.
My 2003 Nissan XTerra 4 x 4 lasted a long long time. I sold it about two years ago to the guy who takes car wash orders at a really nice car wash in my town and he said it's doing great.
It’s hilarious when Scotty goes on his rants about how Toyota’s are great!! Because they actually are! The funniest part in the video is when he says “you don’t even have to touch the stupid things” 😂
Unless you have a modern Toyota diesel... Rubbish lol
🤣🤣🤣
after having 3 toyotas I am more than convinced that Toyotas area really bulletproof and robust But I am still driving my 1983 civic and we have repairing its hondamatic transmission for the first time since we bought the car back in 1992😀I am really amazed how they make such reliable gearbox
@@camthesaxman3387 the problem with mazda that spare parts are too way expensive and not easy to fix engines space crowded and complicated

I did not see that coming..
You're kidding, right ?

@@kennyc388 Why would you think he's joking? I didn't even think Scotty liked Toyota!
P Zak You do? Cool thx for letting us know. If that P stands for Patricia look me up.
Thank you Scotty. Before I started to watch this video I tried to guess what would you say, and I must admit that I was completely wrong. How good marketing can cover a bad quality. That's why it's so important and helpful to listen to people like you.
Thank you, this is informative! I learned a lot
Back in the 70s, my dad worked with a guy who drove a Datsun that he liked a lot. It had a vanity plate that said, "ICE CAR".
He asked the guy, "Why "ICE CAR"?"
Answer, "DATSUN ICE CAR!"
Okay, I'll show myself out...
Hotchachachacachachaaaaaaa
Unfortunately my father's friend had one but the engine died at around 40 000 miles. I was surprised to see it go out Datsun.
Mom bought a Datsun 510. When my sister got her license Mom bought another car and sister got the Datsun. It lasted her the rest of high school and college, then they gave it to my other sister and her husband, who sold it at 440,000 miles. I still saw it in town for another couple of years. That was not a pretty car, but it definitely was a good one.
Datsun 510
Take your upvote and get out!
Scotty will never say "Standard/Manual transmission" without imitating the shifter
I bought a Mazda CX5 in December and I absolutely love it. Nice to hear Scotty saying their quality is going up
Mazda is actually #1 in reliability now according to CR. I owned a 2021 Acura RDX and was not impressed with it. Developed a dash rattle at 4K miles and the sunroof sounded like it was going to shatter over every bump. I traded it for a 2022 CX-5 Signature. Very glad I did. It's my 3rd CX-5 and I have never had trouble with any of them.
Seems to be a big difference between Asian cars made in Asia and Asian cars made here. Not the same.
Just make sure your car in America has a Asian vin number like starting with J for Japan or K for korea. That's what I did. I have a Korean vin number Hyundai Elantra 2005 super I mean super reliable.
There’s no between them different except with there assembled same motor same body just out together in different countries
Actually you’re right, USA ask manufacturers to give different specs in their cars in terms of pollution and reliability. That’s why some Japanese made cars for the Japanese market are different.
I think the Civics (at least some of them) are made in Canada. They have a great reputation. My Ridgeline was made in Canada and has been exemplary. 200,000 miles towing my son's 5,800 Lb (800lbs over limit) racing trailer across Canada. That includes the Rocky Mountains and The east and north coasts of Lake Superior - twice each trip at least once a year, and It's still going strong. A Ranger would have blown is guts out is watoo long ago. I know this for a fact, as that's what I started with. Found On Road Dead in nowhere Manitoba with 75,000 miles on it. And then the trailer only weighed 3,800 lbs fully loaded. Never own another Ford - ever.
Depends on the era. Toyotas built in Fremont CA were better quality than the same ones made in Japan. That was with GM's union workers too! Management is everything. Too bad they closed the factory and now Tesla has it.
The Asian car rankings, worse to best, for cars sold in the US:
- Suzuki ("underpowered garbage")
- Nissan (quality decreased when Renault took over + transmission issues; Infinity included)
- Mitsubishi (burns oil; transmission issues; lacks Japanese stereotypical quality)
- Subaru (cons - boxer engine issues - 3 cylinders on each side; pros - improving in quality)
- Hyundai/Kia/Genesis (cons - previous engine issues and engine rebuild flaws; 5x the wear with used car | pros - good pre 100k miles)
- Mazda (major quality improvements; utilizing Toyota facilities)
- Honda/Acura (major improvements from transmission and fluid integration issues; their smaller vehicles are better; low maintenance and consistent quality | cons - valves need adjusting over time)
- Toyota/Lexus (fuel pump via external company repairs conducted; learn from mistakes; consistent quality)
Man one of the best things i did to my civic was the valve adjustment. What a difference. Did the valve cover gasket kit at the same time too. Just need a new vtec selinod gasket and an oil pan gasket and were golden.
Id consider a 2017 Honda Accord 6mt because that was the last year you can get one with a V6 J engine. I mean, logically speaking a V6 GDI engine is less stressed than a GDI straight 4 while still having the power.

You the real MVP putting the list in the comments. No real surprises in the top 3.
Why am I not surprised that Toyota/Lexus land the top spot.
We bought the very first Scion Xa sold in California...literally just came off the transport. 5-spd manual Retail price $13k in 2004. Still looks brand new and the car has never been touched. Except for oil change and a new set of tires. Took it into the shop and the mechanic said this car is not to be touched...it is running perfectly and it might get screwed up. I've spent more than $13 k on my BMW 330 xi 6 speed manual...but that's a whole other story.
Hi Scotty,
Thanks for sharing this video, really like how you give explanation.
Can you please make a review on Mazda MPV. 3/4th generation
Much appreciated.
Mentions a junkyard, shows a picture of a Chevy dealership LMFAO🤣!! I haven't cracked up laughing like this in a long time!
"Scotty, Why is this breaking down??.." - "Cause it's a Subaru!..." 😂
Wife has a 2019 Rogue Sport - had to replace the air conditioner compressor already. The dealer did so many of these over the last few months they asked us to hold off till they could bring in more.
Absolutely love Scotty's reviews. Tells it like it is....his view...and he's right. There's an old story of the highly experienced mechanic who charges good money for a repair where others could not figure out the problem or quoted a high price to replace a number of parts they thought were at fault. The service visit takes just 5 minutes. The customer is not happy because the experienced mechanic used an inexpensive part and spent just five minutes of his time. When explaining the invoice, the mechanic states that the part was $5, and knowing exactly what to fix cost $295. That's how I view this guy. Tough to trust anything on the internet these days, yet there's no doubt this guy is a wealth of auto knowledge.
well put mate
I've owned a 1991 Suzuki Swift manual 5-speed for 8 years. I have to say the 1988-91 Suzuki's were well-built VERY reliable cars! They were simple, reliable & EXTREMELY easy to service yourself. When GM took over Suzuki, that was when they went into a nose-dive.
the 91 swift is so nice
So that's why 2000-2003 swift and chevrolet cruze looked lot similar..
The grand vitara was there best line
Great little car :) Had just over 250000 miles on mine when it was trashed hitting a kangaroo at 65mph. Original motor and gearbox. Unreal :)
UK resident here, had a Wagon R+ as my first car. Insanely reliable and fun little car to drive, had everything you needed and nothing you didn't.

My dad had a Suzuki Forenza that I started driving after I totaled my Civic (dad was in assisted living at that point). The thing lasted over 100000 miles but it was limping every step of the way to over 100,000. I hated the thing but at the time I had no choice. My mom had a Datsun (1980) back in the day. That Datsun was still going into the 2000s.

Actually here in the UK Nissan's micra, small car which used Renault chassis's and engines, after Renault took Nissan over, appears to have still been a good car. You still see 2005 models etc in good shape and still running around
A Jazz or Yaris are top in UK.
Yes, I have a 2003 Micra, built at the Sunderland plant in the UK. Still running great, with a Renault diesel engine in it. These cars were never sold in the US.

Asian Car Brands from Worst to Best:
8. Suzuki = Worst
7. Nissan
6. Mitsubishi
5. Subaru
4. Hyundai/Kia
3. Mazda
2. Honda
1. Toyota = Best
Thanks for uploading. I've been waiting for this topic :-) ♥
yup
I own a couple of Suzuki Jimny here in Japan and they are very reliable. Not sure why they fail in US.
@@moshahin8585 Hi, thanks for commenting. Good to know; maybe the manufacturing process or something else :-)
@@moshahin8585 cause USA can't do anything right
I still hate Renault for ruining Nissan.
Everytime Scotty mentioned junkyard and the Chevy dealer pops up gets me every time 😆
Of all the TH-cam channels, this guy's videos have the most edits-per-second, bar none. And, having owned several different Japanese brands since the '80s, would generally agree with his assessment even though my all-time favorite was a 1993 Mitsubishi Galant. What a great car.
i love this guy.... totally honest and i feel the same on the ranking!
Scotty I was at the mechanic today and I knew he was a good mechanic since he told a customer that the noise from her brakes is just “dust or lower quality rotors” and that no work was needed on them.
I immediately thought of you!
Or maybe he wanted to go preparing for the 4th of July weekend and did not bother to look into the proper brake hardware installation / lubrication.
@@ibmtpx24 Debbie downer over here
That's funny Scotty! You show a pic of a Chevy Dealership when you're talking about a junkyard!😆😆😆
Chevy trucks are rust buckets never ever buying one almost sold my beetle to get a 1996 c1500 Silverado trim glad I didn't buy that rust bucket my dad told me to never buy an 1988 to 98 Chevy truck because rust and they are money pits I'm glad my dad owns a older Honda Ridgeline 2007 to be exact because you don't have to worry about gas that much
🤣🤣🤣 I laughed when he showed the laughing hyena, too. He cracks me up!
Brindle Chihuahua how about not buying 25 yrs old trucks?
I have a 2003 Suzuki Aerio. Manual. I've loved it and hated it. It's been cared for mechanically but has been treated like nothing special. It has been very reliable and I have the impression that it can't break - It has outlasted several other of our cars.
Love how he doesn't hold back, so brutally honest, everything he says is so true!!
I’ve had lots of Toyota’s over the years, mostly Camrys, but the one I loved the most was a 1982 Celica hatchback. What a great car.
Had 82 GT, not a hatchback. Loved the square lines of it. Wish I still had it.
My second car was an 84 Celica hatchback. Bought it for $2k with 120k miles. Previous owner was a mechanic, and that car was still like new. Absolutely loved that car.
As I grew up, my family has always had many different Japanese cars. A 90’s model Nissan Maxima, a 2000-2004 Subaru Outback, a 2005-2006 Nissan Altima, a 2007 Subaru Tribeca, and a 2012 Toyota Camry Hybrid. (The only surviving Japanese car in our family as of right now is the Camry.) I’m hoping to buy an older Honda to have as a project vehicle sometime.
had one as well drove it till the floor rusted out patched it up and drove it 3 more years
Toyota got better for reliability, but have gone downhill on looks, performance, and the fun factor.
"...Fiat-Chrysler. It makes junk. And then they continue to make more junk..."
So true! :D
fix it again tony
And people still buy them thinking it’s a great car.
Fiat worse car I ever owned.
Fix It Again Tomorrow (that's how we say in EU) - Expect Fiat's engines are one of best ever made in Europe, specially Diesel Ones(multijet/JTD), or gasoline firefly/t-jet before "multiair technology". Ewen Opel/Saab was taking their engines. But yeah, Fiat is very "economic built quality" :)
@@alboluk Fiat diesel aren't bad. In the US the only Fiat you find is Fiat 500 with a generally poor built quality. Meanwhile, Chrysler have been manufacturing junk for the last couple decades. After the merger nothing changed: buying their car will likely make you regret. So, @Scotty Killmer was right: cars are junk
Love your videos! Keep it up! By the way , Suzuki's are quite reliable.
Excellent video thank you Sir
As Scotty always says, if you take care of car, it will last. My '06 Hyundai Elantra hatchback, I bought new 14 years ago. I've always done regular maintenance on time. It has over 287,000 miles on it and still going.
Taking care dosent equal long miles
My 09 Elantra was great no issues. I now have a 2017. The 09 sort of got a HUGE dent in the front end.
@Bryan Charles yes, yes, and yes. Although I've replaced the blower twice for the ac over the years, luckily blowers are cheap for it.
@@Proatcod10 not taking care doesn't equal miles either.
My friend has a 03 elantra 337k and still going strong
I knew it was Mazda, Honda, and Toyota from the start. I've had 2 Mazdas and currently rock an '09 Mazda 3 with 76k miles on it. Super reliable. Always got the manual transmissions.
I've had an '89 4Runner, '92 MR2 turbo, '02 WRX, and currently a '00 S2000 and I have to say my hands down favorite was that Subaru WRX wagon.
When he said “ it rode like a washing machine on the highway” I’ve been dying laughing and replaying that 15 second skit over and over again. Maybe I’m just easily entertained
Great show!! got me into researching the quality level of my 2009 Ford Fusion. Happily it turns out that mine is a gem. Thanks for the prompt. BTW, my 2015 Subaru Forrester is also a gem, resale value for the both of them, EXCELLENT!!
How many miles does it have? I’m wanting to get a 2017 outback but Scotty has me worried now. The one I’m wanting has 61k miles
#9: Daewoo. So bad that it was completely forgotten.
Anyone remember Yugo? They brought a cheap junk car called Freedom to the US market. 😂😂😂
(Red from Pineapple Express) "I wrecked my Daewoo!"
Don't forget Daihatsu
Did North America have Isuzu before?
@@vvvvvtec yes
We had a Toyota Yaris from 1999 an ran for almost 20 yrs with low maintenance.... I ran a Toyota Hilux for more then that. Toyota is solid
I believe in 99' the model name was Echo, which the Yaris replaced.
We’ve had a 2006 Pontiac Vibe (essentially a Toyota Matrix) since 2007. Never failed us.
Love this channel Scotty
I'm a Toyota / Lexus guy now, but I loved my 1994 Honda Accord. Was still commuting 120 miles / day when I totaled it with 396k miles on the odometer.
Scotty have no idea how much happy he makes me every time he makes a joke and put some random animal pic laughing xD
I like his junkyard pic, Chevy dealership. 🤣🤣🤣
he's Hilarious
My 2007 Suzuki Grand Vitara V6 4WD has an excellent and durable powertrain, as well as being a true 4x4 vehicle. it has traveled more than 100,000 miles with just regular maintenance.
We have a 2011 Grand Vitara 4 cyl 2wd. Been a remarkably reliable vehicle. Tightly screwed together. Same vehicle that Suzuki sold on several continents for more than a decade, and it has a good reputation worldwide. I suspect Scotty is going on 2nd hand knowledge rather than hands on; America was a failed venture for Suzuki, but some of the products were typical (good) Suzuki quality. And, yes, underpowered (don't care...didn't buy it to race), and parts are a problem.
Got an 02 xl7 suzuki, best 4wd! 350000k Well built and still truckin!
The Suzuki Swace is based on and is basically a Toyota Corolla Touring, maybe it has slightly less premium materials but the one I looked at was virtually the same as the Toyota so I'm not sure. Seems odd that the worst brand uses the best brands cars but you get better spec on the Suzuki for the same money 😂
I love this guy. I go to him for everything I need to know but damn he definitely loves his celica. Every single video he always talks about it lol but dude love ur vids and hope your having good day
Regarding Subaru's, my parents had a 1999 Forester that my grandparents gave them for free. It had an exhaust leak (it was repaired right away), but that was pretty much the only problem with it. And then they gave it away to my cousin, which then shortly after the head gasket went bad and the car was scrapped
Yup thats why I had to sell most of my older SUbarus back in the 90's at 250k plus miles the interiors started making me sick from the exhaust leaks. I think they have fixed that since then
❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😢❤❤555😂
I have a 2014 Mitsubshi outlander Sport and its been really reliable
Wait for it.
@@brad3628 Right, because you can see into the future......
I have the 2013 version with FWD I keep hearing very mixed reviews on it I hope I can use it much longer I got it last year in February first car at 46,982K now it’s about to reach 92K
Best car I had for least repairs was a 1978 Datsun B210 hatchback. Had 250000 miles at trade in. Only replaced plugs, tires and brakes. Still had the factory battery. Got 40 miles to the gallon.
It’s so true. Had a 1991 Nissan Sentra. Man the catalytic converter and the transmission had problems after problems. Today I’m in a 1995 Lexus SC400. You guys, Ive been driving it for nearly 6 years. Never had problems! It’s crazy. The wife’s Jeep has had 10x more issues than my car.
Hey Scotty! I think you are AWESOME. SUCH A GREAT RESOURCE FOR ALL THINGS AUTOMOTIVE!! Plus, you're full of personality... but can ask one thing? Can you stand STILL (at least some of the time?) You're making me dizzy with all of the hand flailing and stepping forward and back. I am SUPER GRATEFUL for the work you do and the effort you put out to share your incredible wealth of knowledge. But for the love of Pete. Stop moving every now and again, pretty please! You're the BEST! Thanks
After owning many different manufacturers over the years and being a tow truck driver for several we only buy Toyota products!.
Is your tow truck a Toyota? lol
Hino is owned by Toyota. I think they make tow trucks.
@Dr. Mantis Toboggan what he meant was he tow a lot other breakdown cars more than Toyota.
tell my story here: i once lived in a small hotel in Japan, surprise me to see the label shows the plastic water boiler was made in 40 years ago and still looks like new. their product quality is unbeatable.👍
theres channels on yt. restore old japanese electric stuff. my god. freaking 50+ yr old power tools still works. new connectors. new grease. its better than crap today
That is true. Thats the reason Japan Surplus shops are a sought here in the Philippines.
I've had 2 Subaru Foresters and I like the design philosophy of their all wheel drive. Unfortunately, despite being 4 cylinder manual transmissions they both suffered the engine issues mentioned in this video at relatively low milage. For this reason I won't buy another Subaru any time soon as they've had many years to fix this problem. I can get around in a car without all wheel drive but I can't get around in a car without a working engine.
hm, interesting. I have a 2012 Subaru Outback 2.5i Limited and it's been running great at 105,800 miles. Perhaps it's the year that you bought? Starting in 2012 they redesigned their engines and fixed their head gasket issue. I find that their Outbacks might be their most reliable model, I would recommend checking an Outback out over their older Foresters or performance cars which have had issues. I live in the Northeast so having AWD drive is a must, and I've been very satisfied with my Outback since I've only had to do regular oil changes with the thing
@@colechapman6976 Still good? I’m thinking of getting a 2017
@@willissudweeks1050I have a 2017 Subaru Outback 2.5I engine with over 100k miles on it and it works and drives great no problems. Always starts when I need it.
@@mattk9644 yes I ended up getting one and I'm very happy with it probably the best car I've had

Your ratings are Bang On Scotty!!! I've been working on cars for years also, and everything you said is exactly what I've experienced as well, to the letter, you really know what you are talking about, and you give folks the truth, Thank You !!!
My family owns a Nissan/Infiniti dealership, and we have Frontiers from the 90s with about 400,000 miles, and they still start and run without problems. They will run about 500,000 miles with no problem, as long as you change the oil regularly.
I've owned nothing but Nissans since the early 90s, mostly Altimas, and couldn't disagree more with this you tuber. Have never had any major problems with any of my Nissans. Putting Mitsubishi ahead of Nissan is laughable.
@@athleticguy15 - I've had two Sentras, both of which served me extremely well. I was in the market for a brand new car last month, and I was dead set on a 2022 Sentra but a last minute read from Consumer Reports and several TH-cam videos later, I chose Toyota. I bought a 2022 Toyota Corolla XSE and I absolutely LOVE it. I'm surprised Nissan is pretty low on Scotty's list but not surprised that it's considered one of the worst foreign cars. My experience tells otherwise of course but I can only speak for the Sentras I had which were a 1991 and 2006. In just less than a month, I've become a fanboy of Toyota though.
@@athleticguy15 putting Mitsubishi and Hyundai/Kia ahead of Nissan/Infiniti is laughable!
Hey, Colin. He even said they used to be great but have gone downhill. Rewatch the video.
i had a nissan rouge, 2013, pure garbage. 130k miles i spent like 5k in repairs. ac compressor went out, had to replace the axle 3 times, suspension problems, air bag light, catalytic converter. funny that i never had a problem with the transmission though.
now i own a toyota, im tired of fixing my car lol
Solid video!
