I drive. There is not enough torque with electric.
I did a power steering flush on my 2012 Accord bought it used. 147.000 miles . Thanks Scotty made a big difference.
I had 2012 honda pilot, and before that I had a 2003 honda odyssey. both developed leaks in the steering fluid system. But I live in New England. Parts of system corroded.
Don’t reply to that thing he is not Scotty that is a scam official something man.
Keep shining the light Scotty! Thank you for telling it like it is. Good or Bad.Appreciate the invaluable help.
My Dad said you can’t buy a car to save money on gas. He would have loved Scotty.
Consumer Reports’ definition of “reliability” is amusing since it encompasses many things which have absolutely nothing to do with actual reliability.
I saw BMW high up on that list and burst out laughing! 😂
Consumer Reports seems to use a very similar rationale for "reliability" as Scotty Kilmer.
Past performance.
@@cmack17 When “reliability” includes such things as sound systems, air conditioning, and squeaks & rattles, any findings should be ignored.
@@tedschmitt178 those are important things though. They do have to do with reliability so I don’t understand why you think they should be ignored.
@@tedschmitt178 don't ignore AC, squeaks & rattles.
Thank you Scotty! Your help is great! My husband recently fixed our 2009 Santa Fe 3.3! Check engine light was on, the ESC light was on constantly and AWD indicator light was flashing! Turns out, it was a broken wire that he fixed but also changed front struts, lower control arm (bushings were good), ball joints, new spark plugs (big pain) rear shocks, new tires in front(rear tires were great shape), replaced the horn (LOL from supporting our Canadian truckers this year-lol!). He also in addition to watching your vids, he joined the Tiburon forum online, and that was also helpful because this information seems to be out there, but not easy to find! Especially electrical! We have practically a brand new SUV that is older but it's paid for and we did it for a fraction of the cost rather than taking it to the garage! Thanks Scotty for being there and doing what you do!
When I try to explain things about our car and truck my wife says I sound and wave my hands around like Scotty😂🤣😅
Make a further case for why you should hang on to what you have, especially if it’s older and you can work on it yourself. No monthly payments, parts still out there all over the place. Insurance reasonable. Mileage respectable. Yes, that’s the answer, even at 268,173 miles.

Even if it's a Hyundai Sonata from 2012? lol
Sad part snow belt cars rust out, you have to buy something
@@roberthicks9191 not if you remember to rinse salt off regularly, it won’t rust & will last much longer

My son's 2009 hybrid Ford Escape was here last week, except for fender rust, its pretty reliable with 140,000 miles on it. I told him, "leave it here and take my Mazda". He drove off in it. He likes it.
2013 Lexus ES300h hybrid so far still going great. Bought it certified used in late 2016 and no mechanical problems yet. Haven’t even had to change the brakes yet, and it’s been 6 years.
My 2015 ES 300h has 112k miles and still on original brakes. The regen is so good that hardly use brakes. Most of my miles are highway.
What if I buy used 10 years old? Will the car become scrap metal after another 5 years?

I miss my '06 Volvo S60. 200,000kms on it, purred like a kitten, basically zero rust, everything worked well, looked great, comfortable. Little pricey on gas though.
Hey Scotty! Thanks for all the helpful info!
Hey Scotty the flooded cars is an eye opener video for anyone buying a car these days. Thank you so much young star.
My wife bought her first new car in 1988. She took the consumer recommendations and bought a Hyundai Excel. You can imagine how well that went.
My guess great for first couple years then it went down hill feel like they only look at the first few years of reliability
@@goldfox177 went down hill like a woman hitting the wall after the carousel ride was over hard and fast.
@@goldfox177 Hyundai cars of the 80s were never "great" even as new.
@@goldfox177 these days it's the first year that they look for reliability.
Someone was in bed with Hyundai getting kickbacks 😂
In my 28 years as a mechanic 1 thing has held true . The more complicated a vehicle is and the more parts they have. The more there is to fail , which means there’s more to breakdown and more to replace when they fail
agreedos 🐱👍🏿
Thats why still drive a 2004 Toyota Highlander. It just goes and goes. The new cars have to many things that can go wrong and when something does go wrong it is very expensive to fix.
@@roadwarrior1589 todays modern cars can easily become endless money pits 🐱👍🏿
@@roadwarrior1589 There’s so many benefits to sticking with a older more simpler vehicle. But would take me about 8 paragraphs to explain. I’m not afraid of the always advancing technology in vehicles today. But there so much that can wrong with them and it can be a nightmare to deal with a problem thats extremely complex . I still have no 82 Chevy Caprice. Love driving that car . So simple you can just focus on enjoying the ride
Recently priced a new 2022 Rav 4, base model . Dealer advised that the days of a $2,000 discount over MSRP were over. Told him I wasn't expecting that. Asked his price. Dealer stated that the price would be MSRP plus $5,000 to $7,000, depending upon model. Told him no. Left to talk to his superior, who came over, engaged in small talk & walked away. Was told that the price had not changed. I got up & left.
Carollas have a lot going for them. "A lotta space" isn't really on that list though. I can't even get through the door hatch on one.
Same here man hahaha sometimes when I rub my hand on my head I see these bumps lol and it’s because of the door hatch lol
I have a 2022 Corolla Cross. Excellent vehicle. Fully loaded and fairly cheap.
We've seen multiple examples of Uber, taxis and lyft 8th gen hybrid camrys with over 800,000km (500,000 miles) on their original engine, inverter and batteries here in Canada. However, they've only been out since 2018. Who knows how they'll hold up long term. The 4th generation toyota hybrid system is extremely stout so far though
They can roll far, but can they actually take on the years. Good point, my guy.
My 2012 Camry hybrid had to get a new refurbished battery with battery program module
Most batteries go bad over time more than anything else.
@@seanthompson8071 yup, the vehicle is slower every day you drive it, a slow performance death.
Jump to 2:20 for the money quote.
I bought a 2022 Corolla Hybrid - same platform as the Prius and paid $25k for it. So far, am averaging about 60 mpg (after 3000 miles). As a daily commuter (80-90 mile per day), am hoping this lasts a while.
I'd take the Corolla Hybrid over the Prius anyday. It's just a matter of taste, can't go wrong either way
@@kclefthanded427 Prius and Corolla Hybrid share the same Toyota powertrain😂😂😂
@@lacloidi2003 Captain Obviousness!
Perhaps it will. Just treat it like a child of your own.
We have a '12 camry hybrid. Has been very reliable. Last year replaced the 12v starting battery and tires. I expect your hybrid to be similar. (I question the data he stated that most people are keeping cars 12 years. There are a lot of new cars in my town at least- the leasing thing.)
@1:23 "Maybe Toyota will start making crap." ...shows a picture of the new Toyota Supra... 😄 I like all the small humor in Scotty's videos.
I think hybrid cars are definitely the better alternative to EV’s as of now
Who else hates electric cars? 😂
I hate steam cars
It's a grift.
I do because a lot of renters don't have access to overnight charging!!
I don't necessarily hate electric cars I hate the governments forcing it to be mandatory for manufacturers.
Me. I hate them.
I’ve driven my hybrid for 22 years now. It’s still running like new. Hasn’t cost me a fortune to fix. Two water pumps in 22 years; that’s it.
If it's a toyota I believe you. Scotty doesn't give toyota hybrid's enough credit. They will outlast most hybrid vehicles on the road.
What hybrid do you have?
The power steering flush worked for my 93 Camry.
Scotty have been helping my mechanic split the combustion motor from the electric side on pick a part" priuses..".works out great 160 ths miles maybe 60ths on combustion mode ...motors still 💪 and compact putting them on old camries..just needs a starter .
Only you understand what you wrote😂
Scotty I Agree 100%, Car batterys cost in the future half or more than car is worth.
Excaxly all the money one saves on gas, goes out the window on 1 major repair...
I'm a rideshare driver with 362k on my prius! Maybe I should drive up there for you to check it out!
The longest car I’ve ever kept was my 02 Grand Prix gtp supercharged from 04 - 2021 98,000 it had 176 m on it when I bought it someone ran a light & totaled it just got through rebuilding the front suspension & brakes also rebuilt transmission as for Kia my friends 2016 Sorento no oil light came on engine through a rod so we got a rebuild one it did the same thing leaking oil into #1 plug so I replaced the valve cover gasket no problems now
Scotty I own a 09 camry hybrid with 391000 km and it has nt a light on the dash....I own a launch by directional code reader and I'm a red seal mechanic and it's live data on any modules are all dead on spec....I know it's capable of another 100000 km with good maintenance...and for what I can see the hybrid battery is original and still holds its charge...
I got a 2014 Mazda CX-5 GRAND TOURING EDITION. Any advice on it, it does have 140k so far. I drive everywhere Highway Miles.
How can they predict and confirm reliability, a factor that is measured by years of use, for future cars?!?
Average age of my cars, 14.75 years .thanks Scotty!
Years ago I had to quit them when they fully went left on Green deals. Motorweek has done the same where they have gone Green and high priced vehicles from K cars when they started.
This is why I prefer a 94 Celica
I will blow past you in my Evo. Unless you actually turbo that junk box...
HI Scotty I love your videos you remind me of my uncle who was a very gifted mechanic just like yourself.. I do have a question.. I recently purchased a 2015 Chevy malibu about six months ago.. I turned on the heater for the first time a couple weeks ago then a few days after that I started hearing sloshing sounds behind my dashboard on the passenger side.. Do you have any suggestions on what this could be?
I’m gonna miss the Avalon. And can’t believe they stopped selling the Mazda6 here.
At least in the states it just seems everyone hates sedans even though I see a lot of them not as much as stupid SUVs the only sedans that will probably survive are the smaller ones because if you get a family most just get an suv nowadays. It’s sad this is coming from someone how loved sedans whose only complaint is in the winter being behind trucks and Semi trucks everything is sprayed into my windshield
Exactly right. Gave a otherwise perfectly maintained 240,000 m AZ HH away because Toyota techs could not figure out what was killing the mulitilpe replacement batteries in 600 mi. each. Power supply? Computer? ABS /TCS brake Regen system?
Gave up. Bought a Toyota '17 Highlander ICE 4wd.. Will last without and operate economically w/o the uncertainty.
Scotty kilmer what do u think about the nissan leaf 2018? Pls reply
We stopped listening to Consumer Reports, after they recommended Subaru, even though at the time it was known that Subaru vehicles were blowing head gaskets, Consumer reports also recommended Porsche, despite the IMS bearing failures
@Douglas Fir. Subaru is perfectly fine! They fixed the head gasket problem over ten years ago.
@@mrgurulittle7000 Yes I know this, I was talking about at the time 20 years ago, CR was saying that Subaru or as reliable as Toyota, this is during the middle of the head gasket failure fiasco
Hey Scotty ,, going to change my diff fluid in my 2010 Lexus RX 350,,with 80 k on the clock,…been reading about what fluid to use… is is like the transmission,,only use Toyota..stuff..or is a good name brand sufficient..?
I'd buy a Crosstrek Premium 6 speed. NO annoying safety technology, NO auto stop, and it has a CD player!
There's no way to predict reliability on a new car by just looking at it
Love your knowledge bro!
My rust free 2010 Crown Vic is looking better everyday. The way things are heading (see: Cuba) i might be driving it for another 20 years.

@@feartheturtle9618 agreed
Sure
Not sure why Scotty hates hybrids. I've had 3 with zero issues. My Prius was on its original battery & finally gave up with well over 250k. The only reason it crapped out was because the 2010 consumed oil & my daughter rarely checked it. Hybrids are very reliable. My Lexus has 170k miles. Zero issues, no oil consumption. If you don't like hybrids, fine. But know what you're talking about
Consider the point of view of a mechanic. If parts are expensive and hard to install, repairs will be expensive.
Care care nut speaks highly on Toyota hybrid's but then again he would know better because he was a former Toyota tech. My 15 prius is a tank, zero issues whatsoever.
Scottie explained the Camry hybrid, rav4 hybrid and Prius taxis in chicago that have 300,000+ miles with minimal issues and original battery and transmission. Hybrid Toyotas are remarkably engineered vehicles. They don’t brake
Break or brake? I'm not being a smartass, are you saying there's a braking problem?
@@pauls3852 lol that’s the first time I allowed the iPhone autocorrect to do that. Don’t worry I usually correct people on the word break and brake lol. Guess karma finally happened. Merry Christmas
@@fallguy4209 And to you too Sir
I am most interested in the new Prius.
...pls, no more prius drivers in my way...
The best car is one that's paid off, relatively reliable, and cheap/easy to repair (cheap parts and tons of them available).
My 2006 lexus rx400h has 240k miles. My whole family has hybrids. They are very reliable.
Another huge problem with all the extremely complicated cars of today is the availability of QUALITY electronic components as those cars get to be 15, 20, 25 years old. My 1989 multi-port fuel injected sports car is already at the point where decent, high quality electronic control modules are NO LONGER AVAILABLE. Only "rebuilt" crap quality ECM's and other body control modules are for sale these days. Such bull crap to call them "rebuilt" !! All they do is stick 'em on a test machine for five minutes. If it doesn't start to smoke, they call it GOOD TO GO, stick in a box, and SELL IT!!!! That's where we are today in the automotive service world.
Scotty, you're absolutely right. How can anyone claim that x or y brand new model is the "most reliable". Do these people have a crystal ball? Can they predict the future? Yes, a 2023 model of a car that has been on sale for a number of years and has proved to be reliable can be claimed to be reliable, Apart from that. all bets are off. Great to see that the average car in the US is over 12 years old. It shows fewer people are swallowing the industry's b/s. We like our older cars here in England, too. The government is trying hard to force us out of them by taxing them to the hilt, emissions rules, etc, but we soldier on. Keep up the good work.
I have put over $5,000 in my 2012 Toyota Prius V. Full disclosure, did have 189,000 miles at the first repair for $3700+ and 198,000 for the second of $1,300+
Hybrids have the combined cost and complexity of a battery system PLUS an internal combustion engine. And as an added bonus, you pay to maintain the engine. At least a pure EV is exempt from gas engine maintenance. I can see the use case for a gasoline car, or an EV, but not a car that combines the cost and maintenance of both.
02:30 ... the best choice in the subcompact SUV segment is a Mazda CX-30!
Remember when Scotty said don't buy Toyota CVT my 2015 Toyota Corolla LE has 225000 mi no problem. My daughter's Toyota Corolla LE 2021 has 92,000 no problem. I WILL ONLY GO BY MY EXPERIENCE.
"Maybe Toyota will start making crap" - shows new supra lmao
I think the Honda HRV is made in Mexico. I don't know about Corolla Cross.
I have a ten year old car, a 20 year old car, and a 6 month old Camry hybrid. There is some risk with the hybrids due to all the electronics and technology but it is nice to have a full size car that gets 50mpg. By buying a Toyota I am mitigating some of the risk of expensive repairs. They have been making good hybrids for over 20 years. The 2nd gen Priuses typically lasted 200-300k miles. I think the major risk is in buying a hybrid from one of the other brands like VW or Hyundai that cannot even make a reliable combustion engine vehicle.
That mpg temptation is a lot of cash you have put in Toyotas bank, on a promise you will generate your money back “ But with no guarantee when your warranty runs out, sounds like putting money on a horse to come in many years from the nowhere ?
@@fredkeogh9035 most Toyota hybrids go ten years with no major problems. If I save $200 per month on gas and keep it that long I think it will more than pay for itself but it depends what you compare it to and how you look at it. Plus other factors like inflation. I wanted a new car for my family and saw it as the best value proposition since I needed a fullsize car and it's not much more than a non hybrid Camry. I know cars are a waste of money so it's a question of how to lose less
Scotty, if they ever tied your hands up , while you were talking, you would end up tap dancing....LOL your the greatest..
That's very funny.
I recently bought a 1998 Corolla Seca as a cheap runaround beater. I bought it for AUD$1,500, gave it new front rotors and pads and new front struts. It has 238,000 kilometers yet it starts on the first revolution, the auto box works perfectly and the air conditioning is icy cold withe original compressor. It gets around 6.4 litres per 100 kilometres or 48 MPG! Why would I spend tens of thousands of dollars on a new car which will not be as reliable in any way nor as cheap to drive. I have a good SUV, 2010 Ford Territory, for long trips but for just running around picking up the groceries etc I use the old Corolla. It was built when Toyota was at its peak as a builder of reliable cars. One final point, I won't be paying for depreciation. A new $40,000 car will be worth maybe $10,000 in five years which equates to $115.00 per week just in depreciation. My old corolla will still be worth what I paid for it in five years.
I like my 2019 Toyota Avalon touring. Almost 50 miles on my tires and getting 30 miles to the gallon. The Only dislike is the wheels. They hol
d snow and ice and throw the balance off bid time.
This time, when it comes to Consumer Reports about hybrid cars, I agree a 100% with Scotty.
My 2013 Prius with 250K miles and still runs great, i avg 50MPG+, original hybrid battery and brake! Its super cheap to maintain compare to other type ICE and even EV car..
Hi Scottty , i have a question i have a 2009 Mustang 6 cylinder that had a coolant leak i added water one time to the Reservoir because it was low. Would that cause the head gasket to blow because i added water one time ? Or was it because i drove it to long without checking the coolant level?
I can testify to that cleaning solution that got Scotty's talking about I recently bought the oil cleaner and the fuel cleaner additives from that company it's not cheap with shipping it's $74 for the two bottles but I immediately noticed that when I put the fuel injector cleaner in my car my engine ran smoother the idol was very smooth the throttle response was better and the pinging that I would get sometimes if I use cheap fuel went away the engine runs very smooth I have noticed a slight increased in gas mileage too it really works it's really stinky but it does work in my opinion I have also noticed that the engine consumption in my motor seemingly has been reduced cuz I also use the oil cleaner too I'm tracking very carefully to see how much it reduced my oil consumption in my motor my car is a 2013 Dodge Avenger with almost 200,000 miles on it so it's not cheap but in my opinion it was worth the 74 bucks you definitely notice a performance difference...

Now the problem comes and how people ruin perfectly good engines is that manufacturers tell people they don't have to change their oil but every 10,000 miles well if your engine uses a cord of oil every Thousand Miles and you don't do an oil change every 10,000 miles and you don't religiously check the oil every thousand miles in your car guess what halfway to your next Oil Change you run out of oil and that's what happens to people and you wind up blowing up a perfectly good engine it happens all the time most people don't check their oil regularly and they only check it when they do an oil change but if your engine goes through a quart of oil every thousand miles and you never check it in 5,000 miles your engine is completely dry of oil and you'll find out when you're doing 70 mph down the highway and your motor blows up

I rather get Civic than HRV, the crossover interior are always noisier and less comfortable. Civic have independent suspension and most crossover don't. They are just higher and some of them are smaller inside.
I use a 2018 Toyota Camry in Europe as a taxi car, it has 250k, drives 300km a day and I never had a problem with it
As Scotty said if you want to have a long lasting car, it is better not to buy a hybrid car.
At one point I thought Scotty was going to take off and disappear through the top of my screen. Luckily his hands slowed down to circa 2000 rpm and he stayed in his seat.
What you failed to mention there Scotty is that a lot of times the fluid if it's not synthetic attracts moisture which it could be a matter of water. Water in the winter time we all know what happens the water so it could make it harder to Flow by freezing or getting thicker plus water does not compress. So the old fluid could be suffering just from moisture. But you are right after a flush and fill it could be a sign of the pump going out.
Due to the suv/crossover craze in the USA, Toyota won't offer the Corolla wagon in the United States, but instead the Corolla Cross
Scotty Kilmer: "Maybe Toyota will start making crap."
Me: Checks outside for flying monkeys.
Thanks, Scotty⚡️
I have a 2015 CT200 with 83,000 miles. Would you drain and fill the transmission?
Speaking of cars and prices; I bought a Camry 2012 with ahail damage and some surface rust at few of the hail damaged small body area for 4500$ Canadian. Was a good price? The ofo is at 322100 roughly.
Hi Scotty
My dad is going to private lease a hybrid hyundai kona next year. Is this a good choice? It is all we can afford, that can still tow our caravan.
Since you are leasing, you should be less worried about the thing breaking down.
I bet whoever is predicting most reliable new cars is simply hinting that the bribery payment from the manufacturer cleared their bank account.
Huh? Of course hybrid cars are reliable. You can rely on the car needing a new battery some time before the car reaches 15 years old. More likely before it reaches 12 years old. If you buy a new battery, and have it properly installed in the car by a competent technician, you can rely on the market value of the car being less than or equal to the cost of the battery plus the cost of labor for installing it. To be fair, with the Toyota Prius for example, you can also rely upon little or nothing going wrong with the car and it being thoroughly dependable until it starts becoming apparent that the battery is dying.
I buy Toyotas too Scotty. Just rented a brand new 2022 Toyota Camry on a business trip. The engine and transmission were disappointing. Much prefer my 2010 Camry!!
Toyota corolla cross Huson we have a problem here Australia there is a 18 month wait
KIA = Garbage had a 2015 that died with only 100k on it and we changed the oil and tuned it up on the reg lol What scotty described as using half as much as it held is spot on with what we had to do....the thing chugged oil lol
"Average American car is 12.3 years old" *Looks lovingly at '09 Tacoma with only 160k miles and many more to go* "Yeah...we're gonna be on the extreme end of that bell curve."
My ride is going on 17 years
We’ve had or HR-V since 2017 50k so far and all is well:)
My 2010 Toyota Carola has 180k has it since brand new flushed the system at 100k still rolling:)
I looked up the Corolla Cross vs the C-HR and it seems like no contest, the Corolla Cross wins. More space and mpg. It only costs a couple grand more.
In 2023 Toyota quit selling the C-HR in Canada and the USA. That segment of the market was replaced by the Corolla Cross.
If I had a GDI engine I think I would put a can of spray cleaner through with each oil change rather than waiting for build up.
I got an oil catch can on my Forte GT 1st thing after I purchased it
Don't crossovers have the 3 cylinder engines you don't like?
What do you think about the new Toyota Venza?
Hi scotty love from Edinburgh scotland
Nobody pays 7900 for a Toyota Generator which junkyards are full of because they don't fail often. Scotty just dont want to be wrong. LOL.
i want to buy a used van for work, id like a newer one with modern amities what brand do and type would you consider the most reliable? thanks for your videos.
Scotty, I'm working on a cng-hybrid prototype with all the CNG stations in the US.
Maybe Scotty should be in charge of deciphering which new cars are the most reliable
