@@josephfitzgeraldnsw5794 Thats a Mazda.
Honda Civic Type R
I have an EG hatch with a N/A K20 so I'm bias. Great little urban gocart.
I think this is the most calm I’ve ever heard Scotty.
Yes I really like Scotty much more when he is not shouting
you deserve more likes! ahahaha
He's whispering.
hes usually calm in any video that you do not see him. I like to call them Scotty Documentaries.
@@ItzzShazey scottimentaries
I bought a 2009 Corolla brand new, a model that Scotty reports being one of the worst models. To tell you the truth, I have now over 450k miles on it. I change the oil myself, and take good care of it. Now imagine if I had bought a good model LOL 😂
Hey you got the 1 in a million Built on a Wednesday lol
ive got 280k on my 2010 lol
That's good to know as a new owner of an 09 with 87k. A lot of the issues it has are not exclusive to it, and being a redesign year it's going to have its quirks. Once the recalls and concerns are taken care of it should be plenty reliable especially if you have the 1.8L engine.
I got a used 09 Corolla for under $5,000 with 99k miles and the only thing I have replaced was the alternator. Have had it for four years now with zero problems afterwards. Great car……maybe mine was built on a Thursday 🤣
@@DoyouevenTruckerBro They say the VVTi cam gear actuator can make noise on cold start for a few seconds and the repair to fix it can be expensive, also the timing chain tensioner is prone to go out on these, also prone to oil leaks on the timing cover gasket. 2009 model is the worst of Gen 10, I was looking at one to buy here in Australia but all these things have put me off getting an 09, alternator and water pump are weak in them too. they are priced high on the used market here at $12,000 Australian for a low Mileage one with 92,000 kilometers
I’ve owned several civics dating back to 1981. They have all performed well and I put over 100,000 miles on each one.
100k isn't that much.
2016 Honda Civic is a lemon I owned one! A/C compressor broke 4 times in 3 years!
I honestly like the 88-91 gen Honda Civic had a 91 back in high school got well over 350k miles out of it before selling it to my friend for $900 😎
@Sean Giampietro My 0 to 65k miles on 2016 Civic had 4 A/C compressors go out and 2 front computer screens replaced from pulling dash sooo many times 2 fix compressor! LEMON NO OTHER WAY 2 EXPLAIN MY SITUATION! My 2014 Toyota Avalon I bought with 100k miles 2 years ago now has 150kwith ZERO PROBLEMS!
That's it? My 2007 Corolla has almost 400k and has never had any major repairs.
#1 great history lesson.
That's a fact
Good overview of the history of Civics and Corollas. Surprised you didn't mention the infamous peeling clearcoat issue that the 8th gen Civics had. It got so bad Honda got hit with a class-action lawsuit.
We had a 2005 Corolla CE with over 267,000 on the odometer. Still running strong. No issues what so ever. Had to get rid of because subframe was rotting out due to us living in the rust belt. Would love another Corolla.
Corrodea
Civics are just such a good car
Scotty is such a good guy
Agreed
Only type R
Youre such a good guy too
Dont listen to njad3, he drives a mirage g4
Lol
My first car as a teenager was a Toyota Tercel, and the Corolla kind of reminds of that. It’s a sturdy, reliable car, but it seems like a young person’s first car. The Honda Civic has more edge and seems more stylish which is why I prefer it, even though the Corolla likely has the slight edge in reliability.
This is amazing content.
I bought an 06 corolla last week, glad to see I didnt screw up!
Got an 04 one here.
My dad swore by his 1985 Civic GL. Sedan. He bought it brand new when it was released and owned it for over 10 years until July 1995 when he hit a deer. He thought it was an amazing car to drive and was solid and reliable. It was the one car he wished he could have rebuilt and continued to drive.
Just bought an 03 corolla le with only 78k miles on it about a month ago, getting close to 80k now from me and I'm LOVING the car so far! Can't believe how nice the interior is and how well the paint held up for it being 20 years old almost , Toyota has my sold now ! Bought the Corolla as a daily driver because of ur videos
My mother bought the '03 Corolla new with the modern 9th gen look, now only 80k miles. She got a good deal on a paint job and looks new again. Interior still looks new, never has had a problem, very solid car. Great gas mileage, great for somebody looking for an affordable dependable car.
I'm nervous of buying a used car that is that old and so few miles on it but sounds like you had no issues. I'm currently looking at a 16' Civic Coupe but was hesitant cuz it has less than 20k miles. I defiantly don't want to buy something with alot of miles but I also don't want a car thats been sitting for years. I wish I could afford a new one to avoid any issues.
Really cool I still think Toyota Corollas are much better and the facts prove that there are many more older ones on the road than civics
I bought a 2000 Honda Civic LX brand new in May of 2000 and I'm still driving it. No Major issues and extremely reliable. I had to replace the radiator 3 times. All 3 times it leaked from plastic top of radiator
Here in Central Ohio were all about Honda. I and my family have owned a lot of cars over the years but well more than half of them were Hondas. They really can't be beat.
I have always wanted a Honda but for one reason or another I spent a decade and a half with an average French Renault Clio. Recently bought a DC5 Type-R and it's immense. I can't wait to buy my next Honda. It will either be an S2000 or the FK8 Civic Type-R.
@@TheDalitis8 good luck with that s2000 are so nice bro
A review I read on Honda's a few years ago described the Honda as being almost aircraft build quality which for me is just about as good as it gets
Isn’t there a Honda Plant in Ohio?
@@nocheesable2345: Yes, ever since the ‘80s, in Marysville just one county over from us.
The 9th Generation Corolla is a GREAT car.
Just got the base model 2024 Toyota Corolla LE. Brand spanking new with 4 miles on the ODO. Starts up with a key and drives like a dream. 30+ miles per gallon is insane! I plan on keeping this vehicle for 10+ years if it will let me. I plan on 5k oil changes (despite the dealer recommending 10k).
I’ve never been more proud of a purchase. I know Scotty would be proud too 😂
Dad owns a 2006 Toyota Corolla back when it first came out. It’s a manual and he never had to change the clutch and much haha. Barely burns oil and runs great today at 300k+ miles!
I will take whatever has a manual thank you very much.
Buy a tesla then
@@mustansir2581????
But an R34
You can't go wrong with either car. They are both very durable and long lasting cars. Very low maintenance as well. The Honda Civic is my favorite of the two.
I had a 06 Corolla that I loved.. till someone totaled me at 60 mph while I was sitting to make a turn. That car was amazing. I now have a 2011. Its better than an ok car..but loved my 06. Im still a Toyota fan. My next one will be either another Corolla or possibly a Tacoma, if I go with a truck. My friends and I are split on Hondas and Toyotas.
Beverly Sassone If you are open to a little advice, the Tacoma's are fine trucks but get a long bed I've had both and no four It's a long bed and a '07 with a short bed and rod quality in the long bed made a difference, of course on a good road they all ride good and on a bad road they all ride bad but the long beds make a difference I wish I had kept my '04 a long bed.
I bought a 2009 Tacoma brand new off the dealer lot. 190,000 miles later and no major mechanical issues. I'll put half a million miles on it.
I test drove both the civic and corolla and went with the 2020 toyota corolla le best car I've ever owned I just turned 57 so I plan on driving the corolla into my retirement I have a 04 mercury grand marquis I will start driving 2 days a week to keep some miles off my corolla
I have a 2010 Corolla and it's been wonderful!
My daily driver is a 2000 civic hb. LOVE IT!
Oh really?
I currently own a 2004 Honda Civic ex it only has 120 k miles on it and it runs great. Just replaced the whole brake system and other things tips and tricks from Scotty’s videos. Thanks Scotty
Lukas stabilizer oil helps a lot with engines that have high mileage and they also have transmission treatment that gets rid of slipping and jerking lol saved me so much money literally
I'm in the same boat. I have a 2003 civic with just under 125k miles. The only problems i've had are generally wear and tear.
Hopefully you read this comment.
I'm thinking of purchasing a 2004 Honda Civic coupe with 177000 mi on it.
What would your opinion be on that?
@@johndobb8239 I drive a 2004 civic coupe. I absolutely love this car. I'm at 340000KM and have had to do very little maintenance in last 4 years since I bought it. I think like 600CAD worth for new control arms
Found the Honda of my dreams...ELEMENT!
Are those good cars?
Not being made any more?
Absolutely love my 94 corolla liftback, such a beautiful car, and by far has the most smoothest gearbox i've ever driven
Love the silent hill 4 picture :D
I didn't expect a history lesson but I enjoyed it
My Honda Civic FD1 2006 8 gen still running like a champ no issue
I am loyal to Toyota (I drive a 4Runner right now) so I would choose the Corolla. Growing up, my dad had a '94 Corolla that lasted us for 250k and 2 cross country road trips (plus several shorter road trips) before it was totaled in 2009 (sadly). They are incredibly reliable!
I will say though, I would not be dissatisfied owning a civic. I've driven a couple and they handle very nicely. They also get excellent gas mileage!
WooHoo I owe 2014 Civic and had 1990 Toyota Celica with manual transmission that reached 295K miles when I sold it. These are just amazing engineered cars that I felt. They never had issues in the middle of long long road 👍
I have a 2013 Corolla, it's perfect and works like charm!
My first car was a Civic 2004, after the movie fast and furious everyone wanted to get the SI, now I wanted to get an Accord but I had Camry as well!
I currently have a 2019 corolla. I love it, but I won't deny the civic as a good car. I'd say if you want a sportier feel, go with a civic. If you want something cheaper with a slightly (and I mean slightly) easier maintenence schedule, get a corolla.
I just got a 2006 toyota Corolla and im happy with it its high millage about 170k miles
Scotty you are indeed what people like me looking for a good, reliable, money worths car needs. thank you.
I just bought a 2010 corolla one owner within the family with 107k very happy
The new Carola hatch is SICK and I don't like Toyota all that much but I would buy that for sure.
I had a 96 Carolla. Bought with over 200k. Sold it with 480k and then some. Did oil, timing belt and water pumps, and other fluids. Never once left me stranded.
I owned a 8th gen and now have the current 10th gen hatch love it no complaints
2009 civic 210k miles .the only issue is the head liner is a little loose and it’s a noisy cabin. Oh also I just changed the axles they were clicking.
Civic Gen 8 has cult following in India. Such a beautiful car.
Absolutely love my 05 corolla!
I LOVE my 2020 Civic Ex. It's been a great car, and so much fun to drive!
The civic has always had me especially with the si models and huge after market support
I,ve owned nothing but Honda and Acura. All great cars, low maintenance, bullet proof reliability. Can't go wrong with Honda/Acura. I,ve been tempted to buy Toyota, but just think Hondas look better.
My first Honda was a 2019 SI, and it was the best car I ever owned. (And I’ve had a lot of cars) Sold it (retails not important) bought an 2018 civic sport coupe. It was nice, but the SI spoiled me. (I miss that car) sold it and bought a Jeep wrangler. Live the wrangler but I have a 80 mile round trip commute to work and 15 mpg doesn’t do very well for my savings account. Now I’m in the market for a used car for work only. Looking at a Corolla, but I’m afraid that I’ll wish I got another Honda. I’ve driven Toyotas, and they just don’t feel as premium as Honda. Kinda plasticy and basic on the interior. So we’ll see. Looking at 2019 Corolla SE with 50k miles for $13,500. Seems like a great buy.
I prefer the sportier Civic. Not a fan of the cvt however both makes have at as standard.The Corolla's looks are sporty as well but the Civic even more so on the interior.
I Have a Honda Civic 2020 and I love it ! Me encanta 🇵🇷
I can't drive most Toyota models, because a lot of their suspensions are sloppy instead of crisp, like most Hondas...
Interesting video, I guess Scotty started sourcing editors from out of the country since many of the photos/videos were of Asian market versions of each car
I have a 1996 Honda civic, and I love it because it's VERY easy to fix , and it's reliable, MY QUESTION IS, WOULD THIS YEAR BE CONSIDERED A GOOD YEAR,??🤔
Yes. Any Honda from the 90’s is solid. I still see plenty of your generations civics on the road. I have a 99 Accord 5 speed that still rides smooth and quiet too. Love Hondas.
I know corollas are better for performance but I love the gen 7 Civic the most. No car in the world can replace that for me
My 1998 Honda Civic was also stolen but police found it back after 3 years in an abandoned place.
I have an 2002 LX that has a 5 speed which is probably why it's still chugging along at 245K
Modern cars are so angry looking!
Great video.... My 2014 Toyota Carolla driver side airbag was actually recalled. I bought it last year from Lexus and had to take it to get airbag replaced.
I have a 2014 Toyota Corolla s model has about 103k miles and still runs like its brand new
nice history lesson - my 1991 (Australian) Civic stills runs perfectly and is fun to drive, so I think I'll keep it until it drops off the twig
The old Civic hatchback came back to us as the 2007 Honda Fit. Slow car fast... I have a 2007 (rust belt) sport manual with 355k. Was a joy to own. Would like to find a 2nd gen, but now prices high enough to make you faint. Don't be fooled by its girlish figure- these cars are built like tanks.
Sadly i have a 2007 been good to me for 2 years now but after 160k miles bolts snapped off from the waterpump, a bolt came loose from the radiator and the driver fender. I was driving when all of a sudden the serpentine belt came off and the bolts from the water pump came off
I had a 2002 corolla ce for 5 years. Was definitely a lunker. Ate a ton of oil. But other than that never needed a thing.
Interesting video! Great information. My 2008 Honda Civic blew a head gasket and got junked at ~95K miles and I had a horrid time with it, the standard maintenance wasn't good enough it seems. I now have a 2010 Fit and I absolutely LOVE it. I first learned to drive on a beat-up 1993 manual Accord and I loved it. My mom had a Camry where the engine seized at just over 100k miles, too. Something about the engine oil system being poorly designed per the Toyota mechanic? I really liked the Matrix and wish they'd bring it back, though.
See Scotty's video about hatchback Corollas being the new Matrix with a different name.
I also have a 2008 Honda Fit automatic. 204,000 miles and every option still works on this car. Love my 36 mpg and how much power this engine has!
'06-'09 had the worst clear coat. That's hundreds, if not over a thousand dollars of repairs to repaint/Clear Coat a car
For Previous Generation Civic and Corolla I would pick the Civic...For current generation Civic and Corolla (2021) I would pick Corolla...I saw the new Civic that will be out in a few months and it looks too much like a Honda Accord and not really aero-dynamic looking, plus not modern at all. But i'll be honest I am not thrilled with the current Corolla design either, but at least it looks more modern than the new Civic that will be out.
I love the old Civics especially the 7th gen and the current 12th gen Corollas
I´d say it is pretty much a Toss Up! Both are good cars, the deciding factor would be what kind of deal can you get?
Also the Corolla LE eco should be a avoided according to the car nut
Informative comparison between the 2 cars
Done with toyota. My 07 camry had oils consumption as well as the 08 rav4. 2001 corolla oil leak in the main seal. 🤦♀️🙅♀️ I use to love um, but they break down like any other car!
When are they going to make the Honda Scotty and Toyota Kilmer? 😂
SOON I HOPE 🤑
If Toyota or Honda actually make a car on scottys name that would be the best thing ever
If Toyota or Honda actually make a car on scottys name that would be the best thing ever
it must be Standard with fuel economy...very stock like scotty kilmer and when cranking it up it must sound like the shelby gt
@@omnilife6660 upon startup the speaker will play with scottys voice “rev up your engines”
The kinda history I’d like to learn in school🤧
They need to teach this in school. Stuff that’s actually interesting
Sadly only the car enthusiasts care for this
@@razvandobos9759 one can dream right
Consider you still in school ;)
20 more years the Honda Civics and Toyota Corollas will be over $45,000. The end of the car industry and car culture as a whole.
Starts from 8:30.
Thank you!
thank you!
You're a hero
My savior
thanks
I'll take either one. I have been a loyal Honda customer for 10 plus years, and I'll have no issues owning a Toyota. I still want Honda and Toyota to make one model car together. Honda can do the engine, Toyota can do the transmission, and they both can do the body style and accessories etc...
I agree!! Acura NSX engine + Honda Tranny or Beefed up Lexus LFA engine + Toyota Asin tranny. You can't go wrong either way
Get Tesla to do the accessories and Ford to do the body style. And you are set
Imagine if Toyota had a partnership with Honda instead of Subaru in the late 2000s so the FRS/86 They could have used Honda & yamaha Cylinder head technology and possibly made an even better K series. I can only imagine :(
This will be a fantastic combo!
You think that the Civic and Corolla have equivalent levels of interior/driving ergonomics? Gonna disagree if so, and that's a huge point for long term ownership. Honda transmissions are vastly superior, both CVT and Manual. Haven't driven a tq converter auto of either since the 90's, and auto's were all dog doo doo back then anyway.
I'm kind of disappointed I didn't get yelled at by Scotty this entire video
Couldn't make sense of the video without his hand gestures
Smoke weed everyday
@@SnarkyRC 😄
You flounder heads really are a BORE lol "gEeEe ScOtTyS yElLiNg"
Scotty skipped his coffee
I’m a loyal Toyota lady, having owned many. I currently have a Corolla and I love it. Both my sons also drive Toyotas. If I didn’t have a thing for Toyotas, Honda would be my next choice. They are both good reliable vehicles.
I went with the civic but I'd be happy to look at Toyotas when I'm in the market for another car. They really are great cars.
what gen of corolla would you recommend?
yeah my house is full of toyotas
@@peacebewu I’m currently driving a 2015 model and have been very happy with it. My son is not fond of its continuously variable transmission because it sounds “different,” but it has performed quite well and I like it’s smooth hum.
Toyota anyday.
Honda is second choice
how do you have time to pump these out on vacation ?? youre an animal man
He’s unreal

@ryt ryt81 So are you shitting on him for being a capitalist of the good ol’ American dream?
@@spaceexplorer6636 he actually IS helping us more than you know.... which is WHY his pockets are lined, and they SHOULD be. This is what happens when you provide a good service or product. You can do it too! It’s not “just for Scotty.”
Camry and accord next make it happen scotty we love this content so keep it comeing
For some reason I see more new new gen Civics than Corollas.
@Dominic I am genuinely thinking about buying a new Honda Civic Hatchback for the looks alone
@Dominic how does a roommate change warrant a new car
The Civic is nicer than the Corolla, including the interiors. I’m currently looking at both cars and I’m leaning towards the Civic.
@Dominic ….I’m not interested in anything that’s turbo though. I’m looking at strictly non turbo motors. Wish you the best on your search.
@Dominic I test drove one a few weeks ago. They really are nice.
This was awesome, really enjoyed it!! The 2013 Civic had no recalls. So in my books makes it one of the best models.
Probably had Takata airbag recall at the very least,
I think recalls should actually be a good indicator of how manufacturers r responsible and admitting they have issue to fix
I believe recalls are safety issues determined by the government
My 2001 Citroen C5 never had a recall too.
I ride a 2012 Civic LX riding 112,000 and only have a small rattle when the engine cold starts, not a car guy but that’s my only complaint. I think it’s a great car
I had a 2003 Corolla S and the battery blew up. The car still ran even with a blown battery. One of the most bullet proof cars out there in my opinion.
I've only owned Toyotas and they have been great. I have friends who own both and their advice on which to buy is, "flip a coin."
I owe both as well and they couldnt of been more right. !
If you want manual, get a civic. For auto, corolla.
8th gen Civic gang ❗️🔥
My 8th gen Civic, done 250 thousand km. Soooooooo reliable!
Yessir 👍
09 civic 160,000 miles third owner 💙
Best Civic Type R 😍
Just hit 150,000 miles on my 2011 civic today.
I bought my 2004 Corolla at 160k miles, and I'll admit, I've abused the hell out of that car. I've not always had the money needed to keep up with the repairs, and I finally start earning some decent money and it gave out on me. It just passed 250k miles and I'm needing to replace the engine due to rod knock. And the funny thing is that it's been so reliable the past five years I've owned it, even when I've not put in the time and effort into maintaining it, that I'm probably going to end up putting another engine in it. It's gotten me through several road trips and is surprisingly fun to drive. If I do end up doing the engine swap, I'm going to maintain it to see just how long I can keep it going, even if it means spending another 5+ years with this car!
How's the corolla now dude ? Any update?
@@jmfn6092 well, I did the engine swap. Got an engine from Japan with only 60k miles on it. The shop who did the swap did a good job replacing the engine, but a bad job making sure they didn't destroy any wiring when they did it. So now I have a perfectly running engine but electrical issues. The wiring to the speed sensor must've broken somehow, because I no longer have a working instrument cluster. Currently trying to find a shop that specializes in electrical where I live because all the swap shop did is replace the speed sensor and that didn't do anything to fix the issue.
@@vulturecat3378 dang that sucks. Hope you find someone. Keep us in the loop
I'm interested to know if you ever got your wiring fixed
@@Kevinleehiltonjr yes! It was the strangest thing that unfortunately took about 3 different mechanics to figure out. But for some reason, my automatic transmission would only fit a speed sensor for a manual transmission. The mechanic that figured it out tried one for an automatic and realized it didn't sit right, so he tried one for a manual and its been working ever since. No clue why it worked, but it did.
The worst Hondas & Toyotas are still better than the vast majority of FIAT Chrysler vehicles, Newer Fords & GM vehicles
Me watching this as I got a 2016 Honda Civic coupe two weeks ago. They did fix the a/c before selling it to me so this makes sense 😢
Yes i was going to buy a 2016 untill i saw the problems with the condenser air compresor and the electrical wires.
@@frederickfernandez1510 oh well at least it’s better than most other cars lol
@@fernandorangel4679 yes for sure is a great car the engine is very good also and the cvt tranny is also good on that model. Maybe since they fix your a/c you will not have any problems
@@frederickfernandez1510 agree overall a great car! Good luck on finding a good car! I’d reccomend the 8th gen Camrys those are my dream cars
I had a 2016 civic I never knew about this issue with the a/c mine never failed and it had 45k when I traded it in lol

My 07 Corolla, bought from a colleague almost a year ago was made in Cambridge Ontario. It had 136,000mi then. I put on 12,500mi since.
07 civic 1.8L 242,000! Not to one up ya. Auto tranny too!
no issues at all? u drive long distance?
When it comes to reliability then only 1 name is in mind that is Corolla
Why did they ever stop making the prelude.
Good, question. I’ve owned two, 1986 and the last year they manufactured one, 2001 I think. They were great cars in every way. I’ve owned other Honda’s and Acura’s but those two were my favourites.
I had an 89, was my favorite car. Hard to find one now that's in good shape.
Cars are discontinued when they don't sell enough of them, with rare exception.

The first car I bought was a 2005 Honda Civic LX, which I bought new. Lasted me for over 16 years and put almost 207,000 miles on it. Issues I had was a bad alternator and starter. Replaced my brakes twice. No problem with the AC. I probably could’ve driven it for another year or so but the head gasket went bad and the cost to fix it wasn’t with it. Before I got my Honda I was planning on getting a Toyota Corolla. In January 2021, I ended up buying a 2021 Toyota C-HR as I got a better deal than 2021 Honda C-RV. I will always have a soft spot for my Honda Civic. Both great car companies!
We bought one in 2000. Great car. Some guy ran a light and T-boned it!

Gen 7 Corolla driver here. I'm currently at 299.5k miles.
Gen 8 civic driver here. Currently 119k miles. Gonna give it to my future kid 😂
99 Corolla here and 100k miles.
That's just insanity
@@זהסודי-ה7מ Insanity just save you money...
I have an 03 Pontiac Vibe, which is just a Corolla with a hat. Odometer stopped at 299,999 but ive been keeping count, currently at 315k
I have a 2012 Corolla LE and I just turned 299,000 miles on it and it's still going strong.
My wife really likes her new 2020 Civic sport sedan 2.0l 6speed manual 😎 She still has her 2005 civic special edition ex but wants to drive it only in the winter so her new car doesn't start to rust anywhere because Central Wis loves the Salt- Calcium chloride for melting Ice 🤔
The 2.0 naturally aspirated motor and 6 speed manual transmission is definitely the most reliable way to buy a Civic. You two bought the right one 👍🏻
A good oil undercoat will go a long way to protect from rust. I live in NH and use a product known as NHOU (New Hampshire Oil Undercoat). Like any other product, people will argue to no end which is best. I’ve used the clear formula on a new F-150 before it ever saw salt and treated every year. It gets sprayed inside the panels and frame as well as coating everything else underneath. Years later, the difference is clear when compared to similar models were were obviously never treated and exposed to winter salts. If it’s an older vehicle, it will still help, but not as much since any rust that has already started will continue to cause damage, but a thorough undercoat will slow it down considerably. The shop here is reputable and will do the inside/outside treatment for about $200 if you can’t do it yourself, but the cost compared with repairing the frame or body is much more. Once a year is typically all you need, usually the fall is a good time for that.
Hope you're having a good one, Scotty! You inspired me to buy a Honda Civic SI after owning three Subarus.
Ayeee not gonna be disappointed brodie
I was actually looking at getting the Acura ILX with the 6-speed manual transmission. I had driven the TLX on a test drive and they were unbelievably comfortable seats.
We'll still know you're a lez+be+in
But a Toyota Camry or Corolla instead.. they are better
@@noels9727 I have a Corolla I love it. I had a 2005 Camry. I loved that car too. I wanted something a little smaller and sportier
As always with Scotty, this is an excellent video with useful information. I especially like how Scotty is factual and impartial when comparing these two outstanding vehicles. Personally, I think Scotty's car videos are the best overall- complete with a little humor.
Just recently bought a 2014 civic with 60k miles on it. It has been the best used car I have ever purchased.
I have a 2006 Toyota Corolla. The ninth generation Corolla is absolutely insane reliability. I have 319,000 miles on mine and I've had no major repairs. Just change my original alternator. No work done on AC, no work done on transmission just a freaking tank. I am about To change my at least left CV joint that is original. Why can't every car be like this
My first was 1987 Corolla FX. Then I have a 1990 corolla which I still own (256000 miles) and own also a 2017 corolla SE. Love my Toyotas. #1 all the way!!! 😄
I owned a 2005 Corolla Sport Manual. It was insane how reliable it was, especially compared to the American cars I grew up with. The Takata airbag recall was a major pain though. They notified me that because of the danger, no one should ride in the passenger seat until the replacement became available (15 Months later). In the meantime, I had to drive three kids to school and stuff them all in the back seat. At 6 am 🤨
How for away was the school?
First world problems 😂
Just picked one up today one owner with 124000 miles on it. Looking forward to many miles on it
@@chance6057they're great cars, you won't be disappointed.
Omg. Same. I took had to take mine to dealership for the airbag issue. Yep, my two teens sat in the back. Really reminded me how small the interior is lol . I'm still driving mine , 223k miles
