Thank you for enlightening me, specially about Nissan as it's my favorite company. Now I know that when I look for one, I'll be looking for a 97 or 98 Maxima. Thank you.
my alero is the best car i ever owned=186,784 miles no issues ??????????
Larger and larger profit margins means the value of what you get is less and less. So your value is worse, car could be better but value is worse, this encompasses all manufacturers.

In my 40 years of owning cars I've had two Chryslers, one Mercedes, one Volkswagen, and five Toyotas. I just listed them in order from worst to best.
Yeah and the old ones you had were a lot better than what you get today. I finally surrendered and gave up on american made and now i have a toyota that i have owned for 12 years and everything still works and it never breaks down. Original air conditioner is freezing cold and the engine and transmission work like the day i brought it home back in 2009.
What’s true in the last 40 years is not necessarily be true today.

@@johnhiram1207 You must be in the States ? It always amazes me when you guys talk of clocking up 300,000+ miles . No car seems to age very well over here 🇬🇧, and for example , my 2001 Vauxhall Corsa has 92,000 miles & is knackered . My previous car , a 2002 Nissan Almera Sport was still very tidy & ran beautiful at 134,000 before a stupid bint in a Golf pulled out on me & wrecked it , I owned that car for 9 years and loved it .
Scotty biased? Nooo LOL
I come from a GM family and have owned 6 GM vehicles myself. What made me run from them was the Cruze. I purchased the 2016 Cruze LT brand new. From the very beginning, the vehicle would jerk forward constantly while at a red light as if I was on the gas. After 5 visits to the dealer with them finding nothing wrong, a mechanic came out from the shop who wasn’t even working on my car and told me that he has the same exact car with the same issue. He said that he has been trying to fix the issue in his own car and he couldn’t figure it out. When he would ask within the company about the issue, he basically got the feedback that GM decided that it would cost too much to look into the issue so they were just ignoring it. Seems like a pretty unsafe issue to just ignore! The actual solution I was given was that when the car would try to go forward when I was stopped at a light with my foot on the brake, I was told to put the car in neutral.
After giving up on that issue, the next thing to happen was my water pump went out at 17,000 miles. Thankfully that was covered under warranty.
At around 37,000 miles, i was driving right by the Chevy dealer when the engine went haywire and started throwing lights up on the dash. Since I was right by the dealer, I was able to coast right to their lot and park. The service department told me that the intake manifold separated from the motor and there was the potential for debris being in the motor. I was told that none of the repair would be covered under warranty. That seemed ridiculous to me so I contacted corporate which got me absolutely nowhere. I was thrown into a revolving door of transfers and no one returning my messages. Email didn’t do a thing either. I asked the service manager what the absolute least could be done to get the check engine light off and he quoted me $270 after continually telling me that there really was thousands of dollars of work that should be done to make sure the motor wasn’t compromised. I laughed at him and explained that I only needed the car to go as far as the Honda dealership down the street because I was done with GM.
I ended up buying a used Honda Accord which has turned out to be a MUCH better car than any Chevy I’ve ever owned. I also took Scotty’s advice from the best used cars to buy video and got my wife a 2011 Toyota Camry.
I am NEVER going back to American made vehicles.
My family owns a 2014 crv, the pre facelift 4th gen crvs are indestructible I’m not joking. These Hondas will outlive gasoline lmao
GM beat Toyota and took number one spot.
The only truly good American made vehicles are dying out sadly because of their old age
I bought a new 2017 Chevy Cruz for my son and have not had any issues with it. Very roomy and great gas saver. I bought it for $14K New zero miles in 2017.
Glendora Chevrolet
California.
@@incredible3214 I’m happy to hear it’s working out for your son. Fingers crossed he gets many years and miles out of it. 👍 Definitely a gasoline saver, just struggled with the rest of the parts of ownership.
Cheers Scotty family!
So far I have a Passat and it runs real good. Now... my first car and one I’ll keep as my second and never get rid of is my 2001 Toyota 4Runner. Has over 200,000 miles and had no issues. All I had to do was change out fluids and filters and that’s about it. Solid cars. I love my 4Runner more than myself

Scotty, your insight into cars is so invaluable. I’ve been looking at used low mileage cars and have been considering options like VW, Chryslers, along with other poor quality cars against my better judgement because of the low prices. And by listening to your videos, you’ve brought me back to reality. Thank you Scotty!

I have been a mechanic for 40 years and I agree with your assessment . I would go a step further and say all car makers have lowered quality in the past 25 years .

As a driver for a car dealership I get to drive basically all of these and much more without having to deal with crappy issues with them 🙃
ive been bamboozled by 2 car dealerships. today im in an unfortunate situation that i have to buy a car , someone ranned into me on the freeway and my car is totaled im now doing all the research i can to prep myself for the shopping battle. I have to say i do not have my father along my side to help me shop wisely your videos have helped me immensely and its almost like a family or friend give me some solid advice i wish you could join me to buy my next car!!!!
Buy a early 2000s rav4
Toyota, Mazda, and Kia are the most reliable cars, Right now. If you are looking for a newer car, if you are going for a used old car? Look for a 2001 Jeep squared body Cherokee, (inline6 they are built like tanks, very solid, simple and easy to fix? Thats going to be my next vehicle, the old doesnt have all that computer stuff.
New Toyota Camry LE .... I bought a new 2018 for 20,175 plus $799 “dealer fee” plus sales tax ..I did have a 2015 Camry LE to trade so they made maybe $2000 on it. .... model year end closeout (bought 7/23/2018)..... marvelous car. ..... total cost $8980
I'd look for the best condition Camry my budget would allow. They're a good benchmark for quality. They're generally very reliable, even if the styling and features are a bit dated, but if I only had $3000 to spend on a car that I needed to get me back and forth to work every day, I'd go look for a Camry or Civic.
I love the fun, sporty cars, but not as my sole transportation. For that, I want something that's basically bulletproof mechanically.
If you're going used, go look for Scions- iM, xD, xB- reliable as hell due to Toyota brand. Scions were discontinued so you can probably buy a used one at a good price. If you want new, buy Toyota Corolla, Toyota iA or Toyota Yaris. If you need room, go for the Toyota RAV 4 or Highlander.
Can he just say “Good one, Scooby” already and satisfy us all?
This needs to happen
I had a 2001 Ford windstar for my first car. The thing had a massive engine for no good reason, cost like $80 (in 2011), and the transmission went at 67k miles
I have a 13 Impala LTZ and it's been one of the toughest cars I ever owned!
how about doing a "five car brand you should buy"?
1. Toyota
2. Lexus
3. Honda
4. Acura
5. All of the above
(Yes, I know Lexus is just Toyota and Acura is just Honda, that’s the point)
So does he ignore all the issues Toyota had and tried to cover up? Is that just not ganna be talked about? I feel like this guy is just biased.

Dude, your videos are incredibly knowledgable and helpful. Much appreciated. Keep up the awesome work.
I’ve owned multiple Chrysler cars! Chrysler 300 with the hemi as well as a magnum with the hemi, sold both with over 200k miles, and not easy miles either 😂 and since fiat bought them out their design and fit and finish has only gotten better! Now I have a 2017 Cherokee, awesome design and has 0 issues
Glad to here somebody doesn't hate this brand.
Haha you do realize fiat and is one of the lowest build quality companies available? Check out those brand new hellcats suspensions from the factory rusted out nuts and studs cause they’re using cheap recycled garbage lmfao. Gotta love all the lawsuits and lemonbuy backs Chrysler has been facing ever since fiat took owner ship, and jeeze Mercedes ran them into the ground but still didn’t use recycled parts on the chassis.
I’m a Chrysler guy through and through. I’ve had 8 of them and most have held up well. My dad was a Chrysler guy too… only bad one he had was a Dodge Aspen, but we all know the story on those things.
This man knows what he's talking about. I used to own a 1996 Toyota Avalon and the only thing I had to do for the car was have the radiator replaced. Owned a 2000 Infiniti i30 (Infiniti is made by Nissan) with only 50,000 miles and the transmission needed to be replaced 🤦🏾♀️ My sis had a 2009 Nissan Versa and her transmission went out. Nissan's cars always have transmission problems! Stay away!
Rachel Stoutamire my ex girlfriend 2014 Nissan Versa her transmission went out her car only 46k miles and is a CVT transmission of course totally junk. Standard transmission are okay I heard. Just the Automatic CVT are garbage. $3700.00 to rebuild it she paid

I love scotty but the way he hovers frozen after ringing that bell both freaks and cracks me up every time. Love the videos scotty, please keep them coming!
I feel like as the years pass the lower the quality of cars will get. Companies are getting greedy and desperate to merge or expand business that they completely forgot about how to build cars. Also cars need to be replaced eventually, so companies basically see them as disposable resources they could use to cash in on profit.
thats everything... appliances like fridges, dishwashers, ovens all break down ~5 years so people buy more frequently so companies get more money... american capitalism at its finest
Yea, now they are just oversized computers on wheels
DISPOSABLE RESOURCES ; (definition) = ''' Purchase it once, use it once, throw it away once. ''' = recycle centers. MOST ALL, ANYTHING ELECTRICAL with wires on them. Anything, from 'smart ' appliances, to plastic toy drills, dryers, washers, VEHICLES.......ALL IS MODERN PLASTIC, CHEAP JUNK....
cars are sadly on the way out, so are humans. not sadly....
You say companies are greedy but many of them are just trying to stay afloat.
Just as a disclosure for Scotty, the car brands he saying got worse some of them were already shitty.. they just got even shittier than that lol
I've had my 2003 VW GTI VR6 for 18 years now, and it has been the most reliable car me, or my family has ever owned by far (even more reliable than Japanese cars we've had over the decades)! The only issue was an engine cooling fan that crapped out recently, to the tune of about $400 repaired. No other issues. Then again, it's a 6-speed manual sealed transmission, and the 24v second gen VR6 engine is considered one of the best, with much better, beefier, longer lasting chain tensioners. Maybe I got lucky?
I know of a guy that bought a 2019 AMG Mercedes Benz and sold it back to Mercedes (without the tires) the same year, after being in the shop 6 times in 9 months... they didn’t even know what was wrong with the car, it had paper notes posted all over the car warning “DO NOT TURN OFF”
When the Fiat 500 came out, it was such a cute car, very popular on Instagram. Also, very popular being towed for fluid leakage.
ruzzell907 gotta keep the towing companies in business right?
Now the Fiat 500 is very popular for ridicule.
I heard that the steering linkage breaks.That would be fun on a mountain drive.
The Seat 600 moved Spain in the 60s. Called em belly buttons - everyboby had one.
@@stephencraig3928 I drove a Seat Panda over there in the late 80's.A fun little car.Strange driving on the wrong side of the road though,getting in on the passenger side,using the right hand to change gear,and looking in the opposite direction when crossing the road.[We drive on the left where I live]
Scotty you should have added Land rover / Range rovers and Minis 😩
He mean affordable vehicles.. not luxury like Range Rover.. mini doesn’t not apply because they sell very little amount of cars on the USA same thing with Fiat.
Mini is owned by BMW just like Scion is Toyota lol. It’s well known
Yea landrovers use to be good.
քօӀվʍօɾքհìҟ Why Volvo?
Never met a land rover whose transmission had not any work done.
Me and my family had always been 100 percent loyal Chevy owners, as my Grandfather used to work at the Buffalo Powertrain plant... when it came time for me to get a new car in 2016, I began to look into other manufacturers, yet still went with a Malibu. The car worked greatly with no issues for just over 4 years, but the first thing to go qrong essentially killed the car... was told by three different parties to trade it in rather than even give me a quote for the repair. Based on the recommendations from some other family and friends, as well as my own research through watching videos like these, I will be getting a 2016 Honda Accord with 35k miles tomorrow, which our mechanic of over 30 years gave a double thumbs up.
Waving Scotty’s hands is how he energizes himself.
These 5 car companies hate Scotty Kilmer, find out why!
Actually, I feel kinda lucky that I m still driving an old car, less worry abt electronic problem......
Yeah I'm also lucky I bought a 2010 tsx 6 speed manual
Me too. I drive a 1997 Jeep Cherokee Sport. Very little plastic under the hood, solid engine. Mine is the plain Jane model, very simple and easy to work on.
Nice very good car
I love how people claim their late 90's cars are "old and simple", boy you ain't seen old and simple in your wildest dreams if that's the standard you're on.
I still have my old 89 F150 (only owner) with the bulletproof 4.9 inline six which might outlive me... yes it has warts but loveable ones.
2012 Nissan owner here, I can verify that my muffler had to be welded back on a few years ago. Car only has about 70k miles
Omg... I mean seriously.

Rev up your Chrysler and GM engines! (but not too much)
"Chrysler, went from the frying into the fire"😂😂😂
give me a break...... you ever hear of an LS engine..... do you have any clue how much power an LS engine can make on a stock bottom end. they literally swap them into everything. what about the 3800 V6 one of the best engines to come out of the 20th century. sadly no longer made. thanks EPA
@@ad356 Well, held in the context of my statement which is reliable transportation, built LS blocks are hardly the poster child of that. How much power do you want vs how long do you want it to last? It's a big trade-off. Of course I've heard of the LS. It's the most boring swap imaginable because it's been done to death. Your counterpoints are valid though.
make sure don't go over 5000 RPM
There's an LS1 Corvette and a Hemi 5.7 Grand Cherokee in my garage. Those pushrod engines can care less about being revved, especially with a quality synthetic oil.
The “makin’ em worse category”.... You’re awesome Scotty! Lol
I traded my New BMW after 6 months of headaches for a new Geep Grand Cherokee in 2016. I just ran it from L.A. to Atlanta and back this past memorial weekend. Only issue with it was the shifter light.
I ❤️ Love it.
I disagree with Mercedes-Benz and Nissan being bad cars
Firetime Mercedes aren’t as good as BMW. Nissan have definitely dropped in recent years, the GT-R doesn’t come close to what it once was.
Bandit Himself but not bad
Agree the most about Nissan
But Scotty u forgot bmw
It's just like Mercedes
They were very solid good reliable cars until last 20 years
Anything with plastic and extra electronics are basically bad.
@Arootin Avakmian - Don't try that with a BMW made in the last 10 years.
I can’t help but laugh when I see a Jeep Renegade
Know what you mean,it is a cool looking little car- BUT!!!
Dude i used to be friends this guy who traded his 2017 challenger in for one.
Note, i said used to be friends with this guy.
RIP
I was actually looking at a jeep renegade trailhawk
I like the old jeep renegades, the CJ's...
Ever since I heard Scotty say that a Jeep Renegade is actually a Fiat Panda, I want to laugh, too, when I see those Renegades. Awww, look at the cute Panda!
I won't EVEN consider a used Nissan or Chrysler for my next car. I look at a LOT of cars differently now, since I've heard what Scotty says about specific makes. When I see all those Nissans and Chryslers out there, I wonder what kind of repair headaches the owners have had to deal with.
There’s a saying: don’t buy German cars unless you can afford to buy them twice.
I’ve seen more Chrysler’s in the ditch than on the road
I have an 05 Chevy Astro with 219k miles original engine and trans, still runs great! Keeping up on oil and trans fluid changes is key.
I still see those everywhere.
Most Chevys Are great and well respected in the industry as a whole. Scotty just has a bias against them. I am a mechanic and I know many people who are pleased with GM vehicles and also Chrysler vehicles. It is mostly about proper maintenance as you said.
@@jaymase3735 his car lasting that long is an exception. Dont assume they are reliable. The stats dont lie. Just think a bit more next time before u hate on a guy with more car experience than you.
@@andyk192 Chrysler trucks and SUVs used to be good until the mid-late 90s. Their cars stopped being reliable in the late 80's. They were pretty solid before then. I agree that they have been horrible from then on, but their new trucks and cars are pretty good. The Ram, Challenger, and Charger. Their SUVs and minivans still have issues. They seem to just do rear wheel drive hemi v8s well. But that drive train specifically tends to have much fewer problems. Also their Cummins diesel equipped trucks are great.
@@andyk192 so basically anything fwd, awd, v6, or 4 cyl has been junk mostly. This represents a lot of their products over the years. Also Fiats are trash, so any platform derived from Fiat models, which are mostly Jeeps currently, are not very solid.
Holy crap, you're around 70 (if you were 15 in 1965 when you learned to drive) and still doing this active job that requires hard work, stamina, strength and general fitness, good going! Found your channel today, great videos and great insight, gained a ton of wisdom regarding mechanic scammers and which cars to buy as I'm looking for my first car soon.
Any luck? :3
@@SataniaMcDowel I've sent about 4 or 5 messages on Kijiji through the app, realized after that I probably should have texted because they all either never responded or the car was already sold (even though in most cases I replied within an hour or two of the post going up). I've been doing this sparsely over the past few weeks as I've had access to my roommates car usually when I need it. Going to try harder to actually find somebody looking to sell and pin it down, I want to take it to a mechanic and then but it if it checks out so I'm not really beating the bushes, only going after cars I'd be ready to buy. Thanks for asking
I have a Chrysler 300c with the 3.0 Mercedes engine, cant be happier with it, car has 250.000 km and pulls like new.
I have a 2012 Fiat 500 Abart (only came in standard).
It has 117000 miles now and I've replaced 1 window motor.
So much fun to drive, best money I've ever spent on a car. Drivin it like a total maniac too.
No BMW on this list? 😅
They were never reliable to start with
I love BMW but their long term reliability is questionable and parts are too expensive
Scotty calls them pieces of Junk and expensive money pits.
lease and lose money that way but never buy one.
@@XerxezsX Here in the UK, I found a BMW 3 series on a 3 year lease that costs just over £15,000 total. The same model, used and 3 years old, is nearly £30,000 to buy! So, leasing one will cost you approximately half the cost of a comparable USED one, and you'll pay nothing for repairs. That must explain how and why they're so common here. That, or people really are stupid enough to buy one on finance.
i have a 99 vw golf with 175,000 miles and it is in amazing shape. runs great, no check engine light, no leaks, ac works well, all power functions work including mirrors and rear wiper. all lights work well. will admit i had to replace my driver door lock cause my windows would roll down by themselves, but other than that, its great. i was never a euro car guy, but i love this thing.
Suck Boy Tony yeah 20 years ago when people still made honest reliable cars
I have VW Golf 2005 1.9TDI, 144,000 miles - cracking vehicle, love it
@@MyPicturesRestoredBedford nice! I just bought a 2013 VW Jetta TDi Sportwagen, and absolutely love it. Looking forward to putting 200k+ miles on it (only 32k currently). 6 speed manual transmission ftw!
2007 VW Rabbit @ 117K miles. Still going strong.
Volkswagens are the most popular used cars in Europe. The Up, Fox, Lupo, Polo, Golf and Jetta are a favourite first car for every European because European Volkswagens are solid and won't die no matter how hard you try. We used to have a Euro Volkswagen Tiguan built in Spain and we never had a problem, then we bought the Volkswagen Tiguan Allspace (which is the standard US Tiguan) which was built in Mexico and it's been recalled twice in a year. It all depends on where the Volkswagen is built.
I think I'll stick with my 1988 crown Victoria. It's built like an army tank, and there's no plastic. Someone rear ended me, they totalled their car, plastic all over the road, and it didn't even put a dent or scratch on my steel bumper. I drove away while the other person needed a new car. I'll take my chances with an old used car any day.
We’ve always had a chrysler brand vehicle and only 1 broke down but it was in our garage other than that they’ve been pretty dependable
I would pay Scotty just to talk to me about cars for 20 minutes
Yep, he is entertaining.
espetialy on speed 0.5
Thats basically what your doing when you watch his vida
No your broke
More than 20 minutes you mean! I try not to watch before going to bed 'cause the first thing I know it's one o' clock am I must be up at 5 am! Scotty get so much hate from other tubers he must be doing a good job and I hope one day he'll write his bio. Imagine all the anecdotes he had! I had a guy like him about same age but he quit cause back pains. his best customers were BMW and Benz owners who didn't listen to him 'cause they thought it was a great deal! Image got a price he said and he told them to leave it at home;s garage entrance and buy a used Toyota or Honda. I miss him so much. honesty is rare in this century. And Scotty when he's wrong about something , he's honest enuff to tell !

Got myself a 2012 Toyota Camry XLE the other week. Been watching a bunch of these videos to make a decision. I owned a 2002 Toyota Camry XLE V6 previously and loved it. So I was probably gonna go with another Camry, but I decided to check out other brands - no luck so I stuck with Toyota. Love this guys channel. Super informative!
Bro stick with Toyota or Lexus they are so reliable.Never break down and they don’t depreciate as fast as other cars.
100% agree. I had a 2001 Nissan Quest that has zero issues. I then traded it in for a 2006. I had a relatively good one compared to the stories I heard. Parts failed on that Van that generally don’t fail for many many years. Control arms, engine mounts, exhaust manifolds, timing chain tensioner/guides, etc.

That’s hilarious! I’ve got a 2005 and since it was paid off in 2015 it seems everything went sideways. Feels like I’m paying for the car twice with all the pesky stuff that keeps happening. In the last five months I’ve already spent $3000 if not more on work. Replaced thermostat after light kept coming on, then when I got AC fixed light came back on and I was told by dealership that I need $6300 in repairs including a new radiator. Got radiator replaced two weeks ago and then find that, after my oil change, the antifreeze reservoir is bone dry unbeknownst to me. Now I’m trying to figure out where leak is coming from. In the meantime in order to pass inspection last week I had to replace tire rods, rotors and pads😩😩😩😳😳😳. I feel cheated because all the money put into it could have gone towards another used car purchase. It’s my sole transportation but if it does, what would I even be able to sell or for in order to find a way to recoup some of my losses??🤔

@@t.terrell7037wow how many miles do u have?
My father bought a 2011 nissan versa. It’s taken him 9 years to put 100,000 miles on it and it hasn’t had any problems. That being said i dont think that car had ever gone over 70 mph, my dad is older he’s not into cars he doesn’t drive fast and we live in the city we don’t have to commute to work and at that when he does commute to work he has his truck that he usually takes. Everyone always praises it for being so reliable and I’ll admit it hasn’t had any problems but no one realizes just how new it is and how little it’s actually used and how well it’s taken care of, my dad always says “a car’s best years are its first 100,000 miles” well yeah that’s true but good cars will also run well for another 100,000 miles and great cars will run up to 300,000 miles like his truck (86 toyota pickup), the nissan is just now at 100,000 miles it’s best years are over. I’d give it a solid 7/10, it’s held up great over 100,000 miles and it’s great on gas but my father offered to give me it and I turned it down, it lacks way too much power for my taste and in my opinion it’s just not a good looking car. I just don’t understand why people always associate japanese cars with “reliability” sure toyotas and hondas of the past have been reliable and i imagine the new ones are pretty good as well (but only time will tell) but that doesn’t mean japan is generally some magical place where its cars all last forever. The worst part is you tell people you’re thinking of buying a car from anywhere else they Im immediately tell you how bad they are...
I had an 06 PT Cruiser. Not a fun vehicle. Had 120k miles when we got it. Three months in the head gasket blew, constant electrical problems, and a transmission going out. After all the electronics stayed on whenever the parking brake was pulled, it got sold and replaced with a 95 corolla. Comfortable vehicle, but my god, the first job I did on it was a thermostat that stripped and refused to rethread. Took 8 hours to get a thermostat replaced. Most shops around here will not work on them.
