👍👍👍👍👍
Hi Scotty nice video, i know you love lexus who doesn't ! but i just wanted to let you know that lexus prices in Egypt are starting at 2.5 million EGP for the ES350, so we can't buy any for a reasonable price ,& Also Toyota corolla & its family are assembled in turkey , so its never a good choice to get any of these as new nor used , What do you think?
Hi Scotty am from Kenya can I use kixx cvtf on my Honda insight 2010 model
What u think about the 2022 Kia k5 1.6 liter turbo charged?
My 05 accord still running like a champ. Stay strong and loyal Honda fans. 🙏
My 05 accord ex with 2.4 l 4 cyl has 210,000 miles and ac blows ice cold!
Same
I got an '04 and mine is still going well.
07 accord with 250,379 miles and going strong!
My 2001 accord VP has 300,000+ miles and it still runs great.
Scotty: Buy Hondas! They're great cars!
Toyota: Scotty we need to talk
I'm driving my 4th honda ..... love them .....
Lol true and "never buy this honda"... 🤣
GM: Buy our cars instead.
Me: I'll buy a Honda instead.
Toyota shot themselves in the foot with the new Supra by BMW and automatic 🤣
Hahahaa true
I've had 5 Hondas starting with a 1990 Accord, 94 Accord, 88 and 90 Rex si's, then a 07 Civic and the one Accord and civic I kept stock lasted an easy 200k before I had trans problems in the 90 Accord and I sold the Civic with zero problems at like 210k miles. Been a mechanic for 24 years and still still sticking with Honda
I got a 93 accord with 205k on it manual trans and still going strong!
@@jonatanhernandez7548 Blown head gasket was the nail in the coffin for my '93 that I put out to pasture back in '12...she had 314k
Yes . I've owned a ton of Hondas 🥂 everything from accord , civic prelude crv , tl . Still have a 94 civic ex coupe Aztec green with og 104k miles . A 95 civic sedan , 07 tl and also now have a 21 accord 2.0t . I've owned other vehicles besides Hondas but they've always given me trouble. With our Hondas we've never had any drivetrain issues besides reg maintenance. But our 90's Hondas we're and are manual cars . Except 1 96 accord. I've had several accords from 94-21 and several preludes aswell . Only Honda here 💯 our driveway has 5 Hondas resting in it 🤙🤙🤙 also had a 94 accord wagon with a built h23 bluetop sir swap 🔥 shot 5 foot flames 😵💫😵💫 you can find it on TH-cam is brandy red . Did a tug of war with a early white f750 or 650 . 🥴 Wasn't me driving though 🤣
the real question is CVT or 10 speed transmission?
But now they have turbos in them are they still reliable with turnos

The gen X accord was just rated as the lowest to own and maintain vehicle made within the last 5 years. Honda and Toyota don't forget their customers looking to own upwards of 20+ years
@@tomtheplummer7322 looks like it’s Hoovie's now.
She is one overused woman. 1000000 miles and still driving. lmao
2011 3.5 accord has ran excellent since I purchased it. Change the oil and spark plugs regularly, has 127 k on it and still runs great. All Honda products are the best, I have owned 2 Accords and 3 civics, 3 civics because of my 2 hour drive to work. Wrecked one and gave one to my son. Can't go wrong with a Honda.
its great comfort to read this, just got a used 3.5L Honda, thanks man
I own it also but 2008. need suggestions, do you turn the VCM off?
My 1.5T in my civic just rolled over 200k. No issues in cold Minnesota.
I average 42 miles per gallon.
I don't think the 1.5 is enough for the accord, but i just got a 2.0t and i've got 29.3 mpg with some flooring it and having fun with my new car. but "The owner is 20 years old " in this, no idea how he is getting 20 mpg but it's in that
I drive a civic 11th gen w the 1.5t, so much freaking fun. @@randomyoutubeaccount6906
My daily driver for almost 10 years now has been a 2000 civic, I want to upgrade but this damn thing just won't die....222k going strong 💪🏾great video!
Same as my 1999 civic, it keeps going and going.
Now, if you were putting the money you would have spent buying a new car into a good mutual fund every month, you would be a multimillionaire when you are 55 years old.
And THAT my friends is why we buy Reliable, Low Maintenance automobiles! ! !
@@brucejones2354 I totally agree 👍
please, save yourself from grief and frustration, delays in daily travels.....STICK WITH THAT W I N N E R.....you got 5 more years to go on it. bro
What makes you wanna upgrade ? buy problems ??
@@petersack5074 lmao 🤣 I actually wanted to upgrade to a civic sport 2.0 of course not that damn 1.5 turbo
I had the 1.5L for 3 years now and had zero problems with it. It's a great car
Lol 3 yrs is nothing
does your oil smell of gasoline?
@@bkhavityoway23 ..Stop it🤣... . Maybe they are the lucky ones & have no oil dilution problems.
@@foresight2pable just asking a question. i have the 1.5l in the accord and oil dipstick wreaks of gasoline
thinking about getting the 2022 accord. 1.5LT problem sound very concerning to me. maybe a camry instead
I just bought a beautiful 2012 Accord V6 manual coupe. It's rated 17 city, 25 highway but I got over 26.5 mpg at 85 mph on a 1200 mile trip. I love that 3.5 V6! It's smooth, torquey, and quiet.
I’m proud to say that I have a 2001 V6 Accord fully loaded. My dad bought it brand new gave it to me in 2009 and I am driving it to this very day. When it’s time to put the old Accord out into the pasture I will definitely consider buying one of these 2.0 L Accord EX-L’s!!!
I hope they will make them with beige leather again, I really liked the beige ones in the previous generation, but I'm not sure if they're available in more recent years
Have a 99 V6👍
@@lucymisti same
To follow up, not only is the beige nice looking, but it stays a lot cooler and resists damage much better compared to black
@@AudreysKitchen They still make it
I’m so relieved to know the exact make and model I have has Scotty’s blessing.
My 96 Accord just gave out after 20+ years of service. Well above 500k and still ran like a champ, they really are reliable cars if you keep up with the maintenance.
This is great to hear as I have just recently secured a 96 with 98,000 original miles and have been super stoked about the acquisition. My first Honda 🥲
yes my Accord got 487,000 miles and I sold it to someone for 1000 dollars - I heard it got up to 800,000 miles now
😂😂😂@@seinundzeiten
Every time I go get an oil change I ask what else needs to be done, they said they can't find anything since I get everything they recommend.
@@slick_anonymous1126big money Lmao
I own a 2006 Honda Accord EX 2.4L I4 VTEC with 285,000 plus miles. It keeps on keepin on!!!!!!!! Runs like new. Regular service and occasional parts. Saved me tons on car payments on a newer financed vehicle. Keep it up Scotty!!
is it still running?
I have the same Car 😊 210k still pushing
Is it still running my 08 i4 is at a little over 300k miles ! 🎉
Scotty, I own the exact same car. It's a 2019 2.0T with 80K on the clock. Not a single issue with the car whatsoever. The only thing that I have done is oil changes every 6K and I had the transmission fluid changed at 60K with genuine Honda fluid. I also own a 2004 Mach1 and may I say that the Mach1 is faster, this 2.0T gives it a run for the money! It's a very reliable car. I did have the option of buying it without the low profile tires and I took it. It still has the original tires with plenty of tread left.
I just purchased a 2018 Accord Sport 2.0T on Monday and I love it! I just saw this review today… and well… I love it even more! Thank you, Scotty, for the fantastic review on it! And yes… the wheels look nice… but… other than that? Time will tell… 😊 I bought mine with just shy of 23,000 miles on it. Certified pre owned. 100,000 mile warranty from the day I bought it, NOT retroactive! 😊
Hows it holding up so far
how does scotty keep up this grind? he makes more videos than any youtuber i’ve ever seen and he still works on peoples cars and still researches and keeps up to date with everything.. if you could put his knowledge onto paper it’d fill a whole library

My 2.3 Ford Ranger gets 23/26 mpg @ 65/70 miles per hour...and it is 33 years old with 364,000 miles on it!
To be fair I have a 97 jeep grand cherokee with 143k and I'm getting 16 mpg so I really don't know how they're only getting 20 lol
Those Honda's have a 10 speed automatic, if he drove it in the highway at low rpm's he'd be getting 35mpg at least, but if you do city driving and you stomp on it frequently (the guy is only 20) the mileage he's getting seems pretty accurate, especially if doing short trips with a cold engine.
I drove from Washington to California in my 2.0t Accord and averaged around 40-45mpg on the highway
@@BCautosolutions some old timer who thinks their beater truck is always better than new tech because a kid has a lead foot. I never got that low of gas mileage when I owned my 2.0T accord. The lowest I’d get was 28 and that was all stop / go traffic
@@pb4ugo08 wow thats really interesting on how these 2.0T sips gas on freeway. Cool to know. Tks for the info
I’m driving a 2018 Accord EXL with the 2.0 for just under 5 years. So far no problems (34,000 miles). On several road trips (over 1,000 miles) overall gas mileage was 30 mpg. I went with the 17” wheel and not the low profile. Ride is very good, handling also very good. Important to me, fun to drive with no problems
Only 34k miles. My one 2018 accord sport over 160k still running no issues at all❤
@@staycloseNYis your Accord CVT transmission ?
@@4sumcrazyshit yes automatic cvt honda accord 1.5 sport 2018
I bought a Scion and put low profile tires. Looked cool, rode like metal skate wheels and the speedo was off. I swapped the Pirelli's for larger Continentals on the same rims that corrected the speedo error. Best thing I ever did. Improved the ride 100% and made it quieter.
When i first Bought my 2017 Accord V6, i took it over to a Sound Guy that does Hi Tech Car Radio Sound Stuff !! I gave him $1,200 to Install Sound Matting through out the Entire Car, Now it's Much Quieter, than the top of the Line Lexus !!! Im Very Pleased !!! I don't like a Noisy Car !!!
I've got a 2018, 2.0 Touring. It is a fantastic car! I live in Louisiana where we have the worst roads in the nation, and shockingly I have never burst a tire!
Lol come drive on a Michigan road
@@DarrinLintz710 Wisconsin as well.
@@chachi9525 No come drive in Lagos Nigeria.
I got a 2016 honda accord sport. Got it brand new. Got 320,000 miles on it and I haven't had not any issues under the hood yet. Everyday i get in it I'm just amazed how it just still going and rides great still. Almost didn't buy it but the best purchased I've ever made
“The fancier they are, the more they cost “ - Inserted image was classic.

Yep, When I test drove my Touring 2.0T, I knew it was the one.
We have two 2015 Honda Accord hybrids. We've had zero problems with both other than normal maintenance. Love that we can drive almost 700 miles on 14 gallons of fuel.
My dad never have to fix Honda hybrids beside Toyota hybrids lol in his 20 years of being a mechanic.

Rivals get better mileage
@@dragospahontu the Honda is an overall better car than any of its rivals
@@drepark2294 Yea, and with about a fifteen gallon tank and over 30s on the highway, I say its a good bargain. I bet hes only getting 20s in the city cause he constantly has it in sport mode most likely.
@@drepark2294 Camry is miles ahead trans and engine eveything better Ik carbon build up on the Camry not gonna happen with the D4s system unlike Honda
@@andersonrodriguez8258 LOL, I’ve had both... the accord drives miles better than the Camry... current accord has 150k miles with about $400 of non wear and tear issues in 6 years. Camry had reliability but was boring as hell to drive and didn’t feel nearly as solid.
I couldn't agree more about low-profile tires. Junk.
They look great but what a nightmare!
@@srt4788 For sure. I've never had...but they don't have much threads on them, even when new. My friend would never have again...says he didn't get many miles out of them. I would not buy a car with such tires.
Let's put the tow camber more 😂😂
I found the tires one size too narrow for the wheel width which makes the wheels very vulnerable to curb rash also. The sport should have 245's and the touring should have 235/18's.
@Jonathan McCully I got a near base model with 205/60R16s and they can take a beating!
The 1.5 oil dilution problem is only for people who drive about 5 miles to work and never let the car reach operating temperature. If you drive 20+ miles one way you will have no problems. I actually drive mine roughly 1000 miles a week and have never had a issue. 92k so far and I fully expect it to go 300k or more. Don't be afraid of the 1.5
Nothing like those 90's Hondas though. You still see a ton of them on the road along with the Corollas
Those cars are OGs of Longevity. Can last forever
I miss my 1998 Hoda Accord.
last good honda civic car made has to be the civics with the K20 engine which was the 8th gen
Theyve all rusted out in the snow belt. Bulletproof reliability otherwise.
I got an h22 around 500k, than a 01 civic hitting 230k...engines are beast.
On June 18, I celebrated the three-year anniversary of my 2018 Civic EX-T (1.5-liter, turbo). I live in Westchester County, NY (Not too cold. Not too hot).
In those three years, I've driven 76,600 trouble-free miles (averaging 33.9 mpg city/highway). No oil dilution issues. No performance issues.
I'll be back in another year to update everyone on this "infamous" Honda 1.5-liter turbo engine.
I have a 2017 civic lx coupe manual with the 2.0L engine. I’m getting 25.6mpgs purely city driving at 28,788 miles. Only issues I’m having is the AC and road noise. Any advice on what I can do for these problems?
I'm also in westchester. My wife has a civic 16 and I love em. Ride better than my elantra sport
I had the 1.5L for 3 years and never had a problem at all even after an accident, now I have the 2022 hybrid and it’s great and has a 2.0L engine
Scotty in every single video after that tesla one:
"Rides better than the tesla did"
ikr lmfao he hates that tesla

I just bought a 2020 Honda Ridgeline RTL e and I love it.
Oh boy good luck
@@delvizm656 Honda's are reliable, what's wrong with you? , The Engine Are Reliable Than A toyota
Ridgelines are excellent long term vehicles. Congratulations on a great choice!
@@itzrxiny8435 Transmissions in those are made of glass. Won't last.
I recently purchased a 2020 Honda Accord Touring just like this one with the 2.0T with the 10 speed transmission and 18k miles on it. I just want to point out that I am an Uber driver who works out of the airport so most of my rides are anywhere from 5 miles to 40 miles away. I drive probably about 70% highway miles and after having my car just over a month, I am averaging over 27 mpg so far. I drive it in the econ mode mostly, but do occasionally have to dump the pedal to merge or whatnot, so I am not a serial easy driver on the car. It still gets the mileage even when I have to floor it sometimes merging onto the highway. I am very happy with the car so far and everyone compliments on it, especially the pearl white paint.
I believe the oil dilution issue was only the 2017-18 CRV and Civic, not the Accord. I have a 2018 Accord Sport with the 1.5 mated to a CVT. This car is great, love the endless climb in power and once it hits full boost and VTEC kicks in it's quite the sleeper. I have surprised a few Ford and Dodge owners!
I have a 1.5t accord sport and no issues at all.
How many miles you got on it? I just got one with 90,000 and I’m a little worried
@@dattienle37 still going?
Are you checking your oil level? You will have issues. @@dattienle37
I still have my 2018 1.5T with 70k miles on it and it literally still runs like its brand new... Not a single issue with that car its quite impressive actually.
I have the 2018 Civic Sport Touring Hatchback with the 1.5T and have to admit, I love it too!
Better than the 2.0? planning to get one 2021
@@sleepingbanshee_ I just got 2021 2.0 sport. My friend has 1.5 sport 2021, having driven both, 2.0 better option in our opinion.
@@sleepingbanshee_ 2.0t is more powerful and fun
2.0t should be more fun and reliable but certainly eats more gas. Though to be fair the 1.5t it's plenty fast but I do worry about oil dilution
I just got the 1.5 6 months ago and was a little leary. It gets an average of 35mpg. I was shocked. And it's got good get up and go. The engine is noisy, ticky. Drives very well. Corners like a bmw. Just hoping it last. Hate lane departure btw.
Most roads in the USA are just too rough for low profile tires.
I have 20 inch wheels on my honda accord. 255 35r20. Rides very smooth. Not quite as nice as say like a 50 series tire but it runs pretty smooth. And I live in Ohio. I have no issue.
@@mauriciowinston5293 same. I have wide sticky pilot sports on my IS and the car handles so well because of it. Most roads where I live in socal aren’t rough for them at all. people just don’t know how to avoid the potholes and imperfections that pop low profile tires.
Also exactly the reason I don't want to lower my car.
I hate the 19” wheels on the Accord Sport. They get dinged easily. I’ve had to replace the low profile tires before two years and had two blow outs. Besides that engine has been great
@@stevecontos3317 i feel you. That's why I went with a wider tire (255 instead of stock 235). To give more protection against curb rash.
My 07 Honda with 210000 miles is still running like a champ
Scotty, This video was part of the reason I decided to go with a used 2019 Accord 2.0 T Sport as opposed to getting another Altima 3.5 (My 2012 was at 200K and I could not depend on it as a daily driver and trip car) I could not be happier with the Accord, and it drives like a dream! I love the 10 speed transmission with the 2.0T.
How many miles ?
Are you really only getting 20 mpg?
Or the 24 rated?
The Toyota V6 gets 26.
I’m thinking about getting a 2019 2.0 but I live in California where gas is $5 a gallon so fuel economy is a big deal for me. What the real MPG you’re getting?
My Honda broke down on Monday... BUT... a 2004 with 192k miles, $75 and about 5 minutes had me back on the road with a new ignition coil.
,, yup keep driving it
Damn 🔥
My wife has a 2018 Accord 2.0T with the 10 speed and I freaking LOVE driving it (when she lets me 😂) I’m super excited it got Scotty’s ‘Thumbs Up’!!!

I have 1.5 T cRv and it still runs like it’s brand new. Never had issues. The oil dilution only happens till you break the engine in. Once your at 100km I never had a problem. Strong engines great CVT transmission.
Scotty, you are on a roll. Keep ‘em coming.
Hey Scotty tell your kid he’s doing a fantastic job on the editing the little pictures popping up at the perfect time crack me up Kinda reminds me of Fred Noris from the Howard Stern show
@Masi Yes I am pretty sure he does. I think I’ve heard Scotty say that before
Dude me too ...love the big gummed donkey/horse laughing one especially
Scotty, I bought a Honda Accord 2.0t because of this video! Love it. Thank you.
That's funny.I just found this video of his. And took a big gulp!😳
I love mine.I bought it because it did 0-60 5.4 So my wife's car wouldn't be boring to drive.
And that ten speed kicks butt!
I prefer sedans myself. SUVs are top heavy, harder to drive in wind, and get worse gas mileage along with more blind spots.
SUVs have a purpose, but sedans drive better no doubt
I agree, SUV’s are good if you have kids or live in an area that gets a lot of snow, but cars are more fun to drive and don’t feel like a giant box on wheels, almost every SUV looks and feels the same, it’s sad to see that almost every brand is trying to do away with cars and replace them with boring SUV’s and crossovers.
As a master Volvo technician, I love my 2021 Accord sport. The new 1.5 do not have delusion problems and Scotty needs to be specific on how that issue only happened in early engine serial numbers.
Yeah I read on Honda website and couple of other sources that the 10th generation Accord 1.5 has different engine design for the same engine size but I couldn't confirm for sure.
I bought 2020 Accord 1.5L sport, I am changing oil every 5000 miles, Hopefully it will last me long as my Camry pf 2010 did over 200k miles
@@digen95140 That will help if there is an issue. I installed a oil catch can as well to stop blow by.
I guess owners of newer cars are just imagining the fuel in their oil. 🙄

Me too my dam 2010 explorer was in shops almost the entire last 6 months with 7000 in repairs that usually resulted in mechanics breaking something each failed repair until I dumped it for a loss and bought a electric bike
@@joelincolnlincoln6315 my Ford SHO was a money pit. My Accord was a dream and my TLX is fun. Both of these Hondas have total repair costs less then my SHO and with 4 times the total millage!
@@Sola_Scriptura_1.618 yeah I bought 2 old pilots and so far 4000 miles not penny spent on repairs yet. Carvana bought my explorer for 7700 I got lucky. That car was designed to crumble after 10 years even. Both key chains crumpled in same year.
Love the video. I've got a 2019 Honda Accord 2.0T and I get 30+mpg on highway according to the trip computer.
I do too. I have a 2020 EXL 2.0 and on my 38 mile commute to work I get 36-38 MPH by soft pedaling it and having it in econ mode
@@captinbeyond i think you have it backwards. In the city the turbo has some trouble kicking in whereas on the highway it is used more. In first gear for example the computer will not pump full boost because it is dangerous to motor.
Turbo boost is influenced by throttle position, therefore more boost is used during city driving. These turbos spool by 1500rpm. They will give great acceleration at the cost of mpg. In the highway not much boost is needed to maintain a constant speed which helps mpg.
City was usually 25mpg for me regular driving in normal mode. Highway was in the 30-33 mpg range.
@@captinbeyond I am the owner of this vehicle and I live in the suburbs so lots of city mileage. Hence, the low gas mileage.
@@captinbeyond it was crazy finally meeting him in real life. Spent a few hours with him. So crazy seeing my car on his channel
I have low profile tires. They look great. I just popped my eighth one yesterday.
I feel your pain 😂
My son has a 2019 Accord Sport 2.0. It’s fast as hell. Really dig it.
I dig you.
@@lordorochimaru2800 cringe
2 years in, I love mine still and think the Sport 2.0 is the best bang for buck across all of the trims.

Why not getting a Camry V6 ? The same price, more power, no turbo, no valve carbon build up
Because this is a faster and looks better. Not to mention the interior quality is far better.
Go watch some side by side comparisons/drag races (throttle house). Ratings don’t mean crap, especially Toyota’s (completely overestimate fuel economy and not as fast as their hp numbers would suggest).
My ‘98 Honda Accord still running strong. Still haven’t had a major problem.
I love how ever since the Tesla video he compares the suspension of every car to it and says its better lol.
>ACCORD< ing to Scotty, this is the one to get! Scotty u da 💣
HONDA Love! 💙
I take Scotty with a nearly lethal dose of salt. I he reminds his fans of that overbearing dad or uncle that made life hard if you were on the wrong side of his approval.
I get 35-40 mpg routinely on the highway in my 2019 2.0T. The EX-L avoids the low profile tires but has leather, 10 speakers, and much cheaper than Touring.
I love how Scotty's volume Blows out my surround sound speakers from time to time...🤣🤣🤣
I was just thinking to myself like “I wonder what Scotty thinks about the new Accord 1.5T vs the 2.0T engines?” at work today. Glad you broke it down because I was interested in maybe getting a 2.0T in the future.
Do it! I bought a 2021 2.0T sport (still night pearl) about four months ago and absolutely love it. You will be shocked how quick it really is.
I’m thinking about getting a 2020 2.0T, looks great
Do not be afraid of the 1.5 L turbo oil dilution. Honda solve the problem with software update, I do have on my 1.5 accord a catch can oil, I haven't see any gas on the catch can only very little of oil that not even reach to 1 once at every oil change . just went to Florida from NY back in forward with 2.700 k miles in total and not a single drop of gas in the catch can. The miles for Gallon is amazing on 1.5 L. in highway 40.7 to Florida and 39.8 driving back in NY.
Scotty needs to make car mix from Toyota-Honda, and thats gonna be perfect 😀😀
Thank you Scotty. I've got an 08 crv. It's got the 2.4 and 250k miles. Still runs great
Is that turbo cvt?
Scotty . What are your thoughts on 2013 and newer honda accords with the naturally aspirated 3.5L v6 that also came with a 6 speed auto instead of the cvt that the 4cylinder came with??
I have a 2018 Accord 1.5 turbo with no issues with oil dilution.
What Scotty FAILS to mention that the Accord uses different engine mapping and does not fall victim to oil dilution like the civic and crv with the 1.5. I have a 19 accord 1.5
I have 2018 civic si sedan with no issues. Not fast but fun to drive.
I have a 2020 accord LX 1.5 not turbo, but i love it.
Been waiting for Scotty to talk about my car, today’s the day!
That's a hell of a car- gonna get me one of those Touring Accords next year or 2. Hell of a damn ride.
I have been waiting too
always wanted to hear his thought and now i am even happier that I got this car
I have two 2012 Honda Civics. One is a Hybrid. Both never had any issues just change fluids. Hybrid has 356k miles and other has 186k miles. Fluids and filters only thing Iv ever changed on them. Still have original battery’s
Yeah that thing will scoot! I’m in the process of rebuilding the entire front end on my 1993 F 250 4 wheel drive! Had it since it was new, we worked it hard!
Nice dude!
Ive owned 3 honda accords starting with a 97 then 99 and now a 2K. I do all of my own maintenance and repairs. In my opinion they are one of the most solid built and reliable cars on earth. Right behind the Camry ofcourse. Which i own an 04 with the timing gear chain rather than belt. Love the ride and fuel economy i get with her.
Upgrading from my 1998 6 gen Accord to the 2022 Honda Civic Sport. Not going to lie, it’s hard to let go of my 6 gen, but she has 285,000 miles on her.
I got a 2021 touring it’s a beauty and I’d put my money into a Honda any and everyday
I have a 2018 Honda Accord hybrid and no problems so far after 2.5 years. Hopefully, the hybrid battery lasts for a while.
I got a 2014 hybrid and do you manually charge it or do you let it charge by breaking I'm worried that the battery will die. Do you use econ mode alot because it also uses the battery.
55k miles on my sport 2.0. No serious problems except a bent strut, from Midwest pothole impacts
"The fancier they are the more they cost...." LOVE IT!
I remember my car's in the 90s having a lane departure warning system on them. I think we called it the windshield back then🤔
I find the side view mirrors very effective, too!
👁👄👁
That’s what happens when people are too retarded to pay attention to their mirrors and blind spots.
@@Mike583 One of the first things I do to a vehicle is install small blind spot mirrors on the side mirrors, invaluable :)
It can be turned off with a single button, that way even old timers like you can figure it out.
just bought a 2021 1.5T sport and that car can ride at 90 plus super and runs smooth!!! No complaints!!!!
I'm sure the 2.0T is a great engine. Just to counter the mention of Honda's smaller turbo engine, I have a 2017 Civic Si 1.5T and it is a great engine. No problems, no oil dilution. Also I get 28mpg average, 40+ on longer highway only trips, using regular 87 octane.
Do you check for oil dilution yourself?? My dealer lied to us about it until we documented the hell out of it.
Honda recommends 91 or more for all manual transmission cars. Just a heads up.
@@scottjoseph7245 91 for a 4 cylinder?
Just a fyi let the gas tank go empty and throw in one of those fuel injection cleaners and fill it up with premium gas and do not keep putting 87 octane in it. your si will eventually start feeling like its losing power over time even though its a 4 cylinder it requires 91 octane or better specialy if you have a turbo. Please dont kill your engine faster than normal just because you want to save a couple dollars on gas. I have a 07 si and I didn’t know it required premium gas i was using 87 and slowly started noticing a difference specially because Si stand for sport injection which means direct fuel injection so you need to keep those fuel injectors clean with premium gas otherwise you will loose power and will have premature problems
@scottjoseph7245 my owners manual says different
I personally am not on board w turbos. That’s why I chose a v6 Camry over it
its a good decision because the power is linear and balancing smooth
@@jamesmedina2062 agreed. Also the v6 is so quiet. A luxury touch I expect for any car I’d buy
Scotty I’ve got a 2018 1.5 Accord Sport and haven’t had the first issue out of it yet ! And no oil delusion problem’s
I have a 2016 civic Touring with the 1.5 L turbo. I love mine no issues with it. 32 mpg and on trips on freeway 48.
I have a 1.5 L 2dr ‘16 Civic coupe, the thing is got 60k and I haven’t had to do anything but change the oil. Loving it so far!
@@billy120745 Same here. I have a 2017 Civic Si coupe w/ just 33k miles on it. Minimal mods, mainly just the exhaust & SRI, because I have 100k powertrain warranty and don't want to fight about anything if something goes wrong. Been great car and I hate when Scotty rags on it. It's still a HONDA.
Exaggeration on 48
Absolutely great drivetrain. I have the new RDX with this same engine / trans with 80,000 km been driving it fairly aggressively and hard since new and not a single problem with it. Very happy with the car overall
I own a 2.0t 10AT accord 2018 and its a rock solid car.The k20 last forever.
Sold my 2019 Honda Accord Sport, it was a great reliable car. I had zero issues outside of normal maintenance. Just bought a new Subaru though and don't think I will be disappointed in the move, it drives great.
My 98 still running at 408k miles on it and honestly still feels pretty good
Does it smoke if not change rod bearings. Real easy to do. Might even can change crank bearings too. But rod bearings go out usually way before crank bearings. You might get 6 to 800,000 miles
Wish the 10th gen touring was available with the 6 speed manual. Had to go with the 2.0t sport. Love it! Ditched the VW and went Honda FTW 🙌
How has the reliability been?! I want to get one😭
I’m confused, is the 1.5 turbo Honda accord not a good engine and I should go with a 2.0 turbo Honda?
The 2.0T accords are truly great cars. Great performance and features for the price no question.
I bought a 2020 Civic Sport Sedan 6MT with the 2.0 Naturally Aspirated port injected motor for a daily driver as I felt it would be the most reliable way to buy a Honda. With the manual transmission I’m averaging about 29-32 MPG in the Civic.
The 2.0T in the accord is a sleeper for sure, and will surprise many people, it’s a great engine!
I agree with you Scotty, the 2.0 (both NA and Turbo) are the Honda motors to buy 👍🏻
I just got a 2021 Honda Accord Sport 2.0T and I love it. The power that thing puts it is actually quite impressive.
@@Traelin-i2s It really is. I just left a 2.0T 2020 Sport for a 2021 TLX ASpec. What I was offered for a trade was insane. Had to do it. In some aspects the Accord 2.0T is faster off the line than the TLX. Lighter car. Mid range of TLX is strong. But, wow, the ride quality is night and day and the cabin is incredible in the TLX. I have harsh roads in the Cleveland area and the TLX’s new chassis really soaks them up. Way more planted/sturdy/buttoned down feeling. Incredible sound system. Really nice SH-AWD system. Honda/Acura ftw!
Is that 29-32 city, hwy, or combined?
Well shucks. I just bought a 1.5L Turbo on Accord. I did get 39 mpg on the highway on a 1000 mile road trip this weekend.
Just take it easy and keep on top of your oil you'll probably be fine.
my advice is to not try to warm up the car in the winter by just letting it sit there running. It will never get up to temp. Start it and wait 30 seconds then just drive easy until you get up to temp. I do 3000 mile oil change in winter and 5000 in the summer. I have an 18 civic si with the 1.5T. not a single problem yet.
I got 33mpg on a 600 mile trip through West Virginia (tons of hills) on my 2009 Accord Coupe V6 Auto. Kinda crazy your light 1.5L only got that
I have the same 2020 touring..... I LOVE MY CAR! it's so fricken fast.... People sleep on it.... It literally looks elegant and it has so much speed and pick up to it I mean I was dead set on getting a 2020 Camry V6 xse but the first time I test drove the Honda Accord touring I was in love ... It was my best 30th birthday present to myself
Can confirm. We love our new 2021 Touring. Incredible vehicle for price, performance, quality and long term reliability. Holds value as well over time.
It’s v6? I was curious if that was the engine NOT too buy
We need a vid on the 1.5 now please. My wife has one
Due to the crankcase breather design of the 1.5 they can't get rid of the extra fuel vapors attributed with turbo charging. So over time fuel builds up in the oil, which lowers it's effectiveness at lubricating the engine. Long drives help reduce the vapor build up and ive heard people recommend changing the oil sooner than the intervals recommend by Honda. The NA 1.5l engines are fine though. :)
@@aneejit9079 no recall?
@@PanGuard150 … my 2018 1.5 has been great! No fuel in the oil at all. I do my own oil changes and I would know.
3 years later, Scotty is still my go-to channel. I’ve had my ‘04 Honda Accord LX 2.4L sedan. She’s got 330,500 miles on her and still going strong 💪 I’m 25 years old and have had my baby since I was 15 🎉 Still driving my first car 🤘🏻
Afternoon Scotty, keep it up!
afternoon!
Watching this knowing I own a 2021 Honda Accord Sport 1.5.
Lmao
Sell it fast

@@naveenthemachine that car will last you atleast 30 years if you take proper care of it and don't abuse it
@@M447DT oh don’t worry. Even though I have 300hp Im afraid to abuse it haha. I got the v6 because of how quiet and smooth the engine was. The 4 cylinder model was on the noisy and unrefined side

I’ll be honest when I first heard about the oil dilution issues I was a little concerned. But after taking a look at the situation it’s a nothing burger that’s been blown out of proportion by lazy or clueless owners. People having these issues are primarily the clueless crowd that tries to get 10K-12K-15K+ miles on one oil change. With a TDGI car? These people are nuts. The other problem is they use 0W20 oil, while other markets Honda recommends the use of 0W30 or 5W30. The use of 0W20 oil in the states is for CAFE fuel economy reasons, not for optimal engine protection. If you have a Honda 1.5 Turbo earth dreams engine, switch to 0W30 (in really cold climates) or 5W30, and change your oil every 3K-5K max, you’ll have no oil dilution issues. Also helps if you don’t take off as soon as you start the car, give it 30sec to a minute to warm up first.
Good advice. in my SI, i let my car warm up to at least four bars out of the nine before I take off. Gotta let the oil warm up and circulate.
First car: 99 Accord, sold it after 270,000 miles.
Second car (current): 05 Accord; 210,000 miles.
My next car will also be a Honda or Acura, sedan.
Ive got an 02 accord that i do all of the work on, timing belts, radiators, injection, egr, air intake systems, all of it, and its ran for half a million miles now. Honda engines and toyotas too are the most solid and reliable on the planet.
I just bought a 2020 Honda Fit and I love it.
Great cars. The Fits will not give you fits.
Thank you for this video. I knew you spoke highly about Honda engines, but are usually against turbos. Good to know the 2.0 is solid.
It's the type r engine
the only reason I didn't got for the touring, low profile tires, no problems :)
