Hello Scotty. I need your advice about buying a jeep commander. I am looking at a 2007 Jeep Commander 4x4 5.7L Hemi. It has 80K miles, one owner truck for 14K. I am not mechanically inclined and me andmy wife got lied to in the past and it cost us major inconvenience and money. I just want to ask your opinion about the reliability of these SUVs and i would appreciate it if you can share your insight. Thank you and more power to your channel.
I wish Scotty would publish a list of all common vehicles with the best years/motors. It would be a huge gift to all of us looking for a vehicle. I would pay a fee for the list.
My 2000 Toyota 4Runner has 595000 miles on it and no work done to the engine or transmission except for general maintenance and it's still running strong
I just got a 2018 Civic (before this video came out haha) absolutely love it. Something to note about the 2016-2021 civics. The front bumper/grille doesn't protect the A/C condenser from flying bugs and rocks very well, so the condenser gets hit frequently and eventually starts leaking refrigerant, the stuff that keeps your AC blowing cold. Ultimately, you end up with hot air blowing out of the vents due to a failed condenser, and the symptoms are much worse on the driver side. Prevention is easy, though. A $4 lock in gutter guard (metal screen) from home depot, trimmed a few inches length-wise, fits perfectly behind the grille and can be held in place with the clips alone. I drove from Nashville to Chicago and back right after replacing my failed condenser, charging the AC system, and installing the gutter guard. I heard the screen deflect rocks several times during my trip, and I found a dead wasp stuck in one part of the screen after my trip. I am very, very glad I took the 5 minutes of effort to install the screen.
I am not aware of ANY vehicle with a grille that does adequately protect the condenser so the very first thing I've done to every vehicle I've ever owned was installing a chicken wire screen behind the grille. Thought it was so obvious that didn't have to be mentioned. Apparently, it's not...
I have a civic !! During the snow before salt trucks , my AC condenser gotten eaten up so fast ! Thank god there was a nationwide extended warranty on faulty condensers
This is the most helpful thing ever, I'm hoping my condenser isn't failing. The A/C slowly died and I checked the refrigerant level and it was close to empty. Filled it up with a cheap $40.00 can of 1234yf or whatever and it is blowing cold again. Didn't even use the whole can either.
Hi Scotty, I currently have the 2021 Honda CR-V AWD 1.5T and I am happy with my vehicle so far. It handles great in the snow, excellent for daily use, road trips, plenty of space and good gas mileage. In my opinion is a good value for the money. Honda for life Scotty.
I love Scotty's videos. I seen he said some good cheap cars. So I just got me a 2000 Camry for $1200. So I'm happy I'm disabled and don't have a lot of money to even live on. So took awhile to save up the money. Got 300 miles sadly but they last. So happy not to be stuck at home. When you live 20 miles from town you need a car lol anyway love a real mechanic trying to help people out instead of ripping you off.
Having these videos is like having a category of handbooks of engineering information for my '09 Honda Civic. I so appreciate your videos. Working a lot!! Dont have the time to watch like I did before, and Im glad I did not miss this one, thank you... Scotty!!! YOU are #1.
'93 Civic Coupe with 240k miles. Manual, a ton of aftermarket support, easy to work on. Got it new. The comfort and ease of driving a reliable old car is priceless
Had a '91 Civic, put 294,000mi in less than four years. Was an excellent car. But wouldn't come close to honda after it screwed me over with crv in 2004.
@@hmcmullian4842 Nobody hates you. He may find your actions irrational because your experience with subaru is anything but typical. Lately - like 10-15 years - subaru has been STATISTICALLY garbage in terms of reliability. It does have superior to other AWD capabilities though but if I need to go off-road, I take one of my 4Runners. Otherwise, my AWD RAV4 Hybrid does just fine.
Scotty your videos are just fabulous and you are such a straightforward and honest person but it’s a pleasure to watch you permanently. Thank you so much for your effort all that you do for us in my case an ignorant in mechanics! God Bless You! .
I’m so glad, I recently purchased the 16 civic with the 2.0L I dodged a huge bullet. Although it does have 100k miles, it’s still running strong 💪🏽 and has good gas mileage 😃
Here is something funny. We own a 2013 Acura RDX, a 2008 Honda Civic, a 2016 CRV (non turbo) and 2009 Toyota Tacoma. We bought all of these before I started watching Scotty’s channel. I think he would be proud of my choices.
How’s the reliability of the Acura RDX and what work have you done on it? I’m considering it, but I’m worried about how long it will last (I’d have to buy one with relatively high mileage)
@@fajeeloves6204 If you're a home owner you need a pickup truck almost by default. It's also a smart idea to have an economical daily driver, and a 3rd car for fun. Owning 2+ cars cuts the mileage, wear & tear, and maintenance costs in half.
2005 CRV, she's got 160k and we got her for 5,000 a couple of years ago. My favorite car we've ever owned. Love the stow away table and full size exterior mounted spare. So much leg room! Honda should make a throw back model!
Love my 2021 Honda CR-V. I have been happily amazed with the gas mpg. I routinely notice 41mpg to 44 mpg on the highway. WOW!!! My only complaint is road noise, but I admit I am sensitive to noise. But, I still give this car an "A" for comfort, reliability, stability, and milage. My car has 48,000 miles on it and it purrs.
I was in a car accident in May Dr told me I am lucky to be alive. I totaled my 2017 Camry. Your videos are helping me to choose a good used car. Thank you.
Honda's are the toughest beaters I've ever owned. Tried other cars with higher k's and they just don't compare. As long as you top up the oil and watch the coolant, these bloody cars just don't quit!
I've never heard that expression, but toughest beaters. That was hilarious and worth a response. 🤣I own a Honda Accord. I just went in and had my airbag replaced and they did a thorough check of the entire vehicle without cost to me. My next car will be a brand new Honda
Yeah until you have transmission issues and value timing problems. That's why i own a 94 Celica. You don't see Scotty or i owning Honda's. That should tell you something right there.
I really miss the S2000. So much fun. I was the S2K technician at the Honda dealership I worked for. Most of the guys there didn't want to bother with them, and then there was me, the one who would run to grab the RO when I saw one pull up, lol. That motor was so gorgeous and truly a marvel of technology for its time. Heck, even by today's standards it's a beautiful piece of engineering. I even had the pleasure of driving a handful of the S2000 CRs. Not a huge difference between the base and the CR, but its greatest allure for me was the removal hardtop vs a fold in rag-top. The slightly different front bumper, and cute racing wing were aesthetically pleasing, but eh... I could live without them. I believe there was a few more features that made the CR what it was, but it has been a LONG TIME since I worked with one. If the opportunity ever presents itself for me to snag one, I will be on it in a HEARTBEAT. I even have a copy of the Honda service manual that covers all the years for the S2000. That sucker will be worth a pretty penny down the road (current asking price on eBay ranges $100 - 180+ for the one I have). Then again, maybe I keep it until I have the car to pair it with, lol. We shall see....
I worked at a Honda dealership and my bestfriend that also sold cars there purchased the first S2000. I am 6'3" and could barely fit in the thing. However I was young, dumb, and (maybe) a couple drinks and took that car on the turnpike and got up to 90 pretty quickly until bam! Blown engine. I think I blew out the first one! Lol. Honda flew in guys to look at the engine and they apparently engineered the oil pan to small or they didn't have enough oil. It's been since the early 2000s and my memory, well lucky I remembered that much. You must be aware of the oil delivery problem in the first S2000s. That might have been in 1999 come to think about it. It was a beautiful car. That engine blew twice actually but Honda stood by their product, fixed it with newer designed parts and then gave him a 100,000 mile warranty on the engine. Just wanted to share and hopefully you can clarify what I am saying about the oil problems in the first S2000s
@@JasonFlorida actually yes, I do recall that one. Oil Starvation issues were found on the 1st generation S2000s under heavy load. I can't remember if there was a TSB, but there was a fix they implemented. Wow, I had practically forgotten about that one until you mentioned it, lol. In my region, most of the S2k owners babied them so I never really got a hands-on experience with the repair. The guys that didn't baby their S2k typically didn't come to the dealerships either, lol. Now that you've triggered that one I did a little hunting (Google, lol) and apparently it was the oil jet bolts (aka Banjo Bolts). That's what they changed. From what I gathered the TSB wasn't really implemented in the US under the pretense that US customers don't typically drive at "Audubon speeds" and thus it wasn't necessary. Yeah, tell that to the myriad of Honda gearheads out there. I'm CERTAIN they'd disagree wholeheartedly 🤣. Heck, I remember a customer who managed to smash a valve into one of the pistons on an 04 Accord (K24 motor) with only 44k on it (yes, just 1). Automatic transmission. To this day, it still leaves me scratching my head as to HOW they managed to pull that one off. Wasn't my RO, but we all had to stop and marvel at the absurdity of it considering it was generally unheard of in our parts (WNY). The dent it left in the top of cylinder 2 piston was impressive. Not everyday you get to see a 3 year old Honda (at the time) with that kind of engine damage.
I have a 2020 Civic Sport Sedan with the 2.0 naturally aspirated port injected engine, but I was lucky to find one of the very rare ones that were built with a manual transmission. 2.0 NA + 6MT = Double Win 🙂
Best car I have ever owned is a 2008 Honda Civic Si with the K20 engine. I have owned the car for 13 years and the only issues have been paint issues, the ABS motor failed and it needed a new clutch at 155,000 miles and that's it. It's still going strong
My grandparents’ 1995 Camry LE had something like 400K miles on it before they finally moved on, haha! We took so many long-range road trips in that vehicle. Never had any trouble with it, either.
A reason I bought my 2016 Accord 2.5 for a reason and opted to not go with a newer Turbo Accord. No turbos, amazing gas mileage, good enough pep, looks good, good room for my family, and absolutely no issues whatsoever since I've had it. Don't have to worry about problems with a turbo or hybridization for years to come.
My friends girlfriend has 2 of those S2000'S, one is her daily driver, the other one is hardly ever driven except for the track or show ,& yup she got a heavy foot ,but both of her cars are well maintained & basically stay down in Virginia
Thankful I found your videos!! I need to buy a new(used but new to me) car, and after watching all your videos, I’m going to start looking at Honda’s:)
@@vitaliypchannel2707 It's not an economy vehicle for sure - 18-20 MPG does hurt. But as a workhorse in the country, it's irreplaceable. For everything else, I drive my brand new RAV4 Hybrid. Tires are actually not bad - I buy Falken for $460 set. Yes, more expensive than 14" but not outrageous.
Scotty, there is one terrible problem with the newer Civics - the suspension. I came off the highway about 15 mph above the posted limit. Darn near flipped the the car. The front end dove like a fish. But it was leased so I swapped it for an Accord and then then I bought two 2019 Subaru Forrestors - his and hers. My back does not scream when I get into it. Every once in a while I get a note from the dealer - "Get off your duff and get that vehicle in here!" I do. He takes very good care of me.
@@BmwMe-uh9sy Yeah, and my 94 Celica with over 342,000 miles on it is way better than your Stupid car payment on your e46 M3 with high taxes, high insurance and it won't even make it to 100 thousand miles. Smart move Sucker. Lol
@@DanielE-dk1ws I fixed my neighbour's neglected 94 Celica (mostly my money). He offered to sell it to me for $200, but I already had a 98 Honda and 2003 Saturn, so I said I didn't need it. Maybe I should've bought it. Probably the best car ever made!
Had a 2013 Civic EX w/ a 1.8L 5 speed auto and the thing kept running smooth past 210,000 miles. Sold it to a friend, but it was otherwise a very reliable vehicle. Would definitely buy Honda again.
I had a 1995 Honda Civic that had over 300k miles until someone stole it from my driveway…it was less maintenance than my Nissan Sentra and Toyota celica. I brought my second Honda 2018 hrv..love it!
I remember when a childhood friend's mom got a brand new 1986 Honda Prelude. It seemed so aerodynamic and red color. Used to imagine it being a fireball when seeing it going straight down the road.
The S2000 is a direct descendant of Honda’s formula one program. Super chargers and turbochargers are not allowed in formula one. When Honda was in formula one they had the top engine!
@The Real VR before Honda was in Indy racing they were in Formula one. They pulled out of formula one at various times but have had a lot of success there. From the mid 80’s to the early 90’s Honda engines were dominated Formula one. Honda’s VTEC was a result of their formula one design
Re: My subaru. Had it about 110,000 when I started to get a rumble and took it to the dealer. Took the drive shafts off and rebalanced them - no cost. He called the tire company who said to take it to a particular dealer. A master mechanic took the wheels off and rebalanced the tires. I watched - perfect. We both went for a ride, first 10 miles OK then the thumping came bak. No charge. Drove home thinking. What else, outside of the engine rotates - disk brakes. Went to the shock shop and said "Replace everyting". He saaid "But the brakes are fine!" Replace the discs and calipers. He did while I watched. The brakes were original. He dropped the discs on the concrete and there was my problem - rust on the inside of the discs which were built like a soup bowl so you didn't see the rust without taking the discs off. Just an observation. Got rid of it at 150,000 for 70% of what I paid for it.
75k is nothing I've seen Volkswagens go 600k with zero issiues. Im European though so it was a manual diesel had to be sold to eastern europe because it didn't pas the emissions any more meaning the tax on it would rise.
my 2nd hand 2000 rav4 with a 5 speed 175000 is still going strong. only paid 2800 out the door 5 years ago. the clutch chatters starting off when pulling a load so it's days are limited but overall it's been a cheap reliable vehicle. i like it's boxy look better than the jazzed up newer ones.
I used to work at the auto auction. The cars and trucks with the most miles up to 700,000 were the Toyotas, Hondas, Nissans Fords Chevys and GMC mostly older vehicles
My mom had a rav4 was a great car she drove it 250, 000 miles with no issues the person who bought its still driving around. She had a crv now and it's roomy and definitely gets up and goes really good. Idk if it'll late as long as the rav4 it's a newer one but both great vehicles shes had little to no issues with her crv either.
Agreed Toyota’s got power especially my grandfathers 2016 Corolla S model, it’s got the 4 banger with the CVT and that thing is a beast it’s been all over the country and it finally hit 100,000 miles and nothing major was done to it and he’s a heavy footer lol goes up mountains better than Honda manuals😂
WOW! That's AWESOME your mom's rav4 still runs great! I bought my very first Toyota in 2015. I bought a rav4 and I LOVE my Toyota! It has a little over 104000 miles on it right now and I am hoping I can get over 300.000 miles on my rav4. Scott is an AWESOME fella who really knows his cars.
My 1996 Honda Accord has over 500k miles and is still going! The speedometer stopped at 376K and that was 11 years ago! My husband drives it daily. It’s 160 miles round trip 5 days a week. We purchased the car in 1999 for $16k I believe we have got our monies worth. We always laugh because the damn thing looks so bad yeah it still keeps running! It starts up so fast it’s not even funny. We have AAA for the day that it does die and then we will take her to the junkyard. But this particular model apparently is well sought after and we’ve had several people try to buy it from us. So we don’t know if we might put another engine in the damn thing. There’s no rust or dents in it either. I told my husband all the time we should drop a new engine give it a paint job and put some new seats and that would still be cheaper than another car.
I just bought a 2022 Civic and it has the same drivetrain so I assumed it would be good even though it's the first of a new model year. Hopefully my assumption is right.
Scotty, I have a 2010 Civic LX. I bought in 2019 with a 132,000 miles. I now have 153,000. It runs great . Just new tire when I bought it, changed transmission fluid at 152,000 and oil changes.
Hey Scotty this 2015 Honda Fit LX I’ve had for a couple years has been pretty stellar. I’ve even run oil reports and it has no oil dilution issues and the CVT transmission has been trouble free. It’s classic Honda peppy performance(don’t notice any CVT reprogramming) and I’m getting 32mpg in city 42mpg highway(with eco mode on). I get top brand gas and I have the oil catch can on this as you recommended. Run Gumout gas treatment every oil change(4K-5kmiles). Run professional injection system clean out with my mechanic every 30k miles. You should recommend these years as well.
You should have got a fit with a standard tranny... i like the older ones a little more because theyre a little bigger, but, they're exellent little cars.. he has recommended the fit.. He has like 3 vids about the fit.. you don't need to do the injection service ever 30k...my wife has an orange 09 fit 5 spd sport, I used chevron injector cleaner regularly, and maintaned it well. It had about 220k whe she sold it to get somethkng bigger, and we never had an issue with the car, we loved it.
Had a 2016 sti motor blew and picked up a 2020 2.0l Manuel transmission Honda Civic glad to see I made the right choice for a good reliable commuter car
I would absolutely LOVE to daily drive a type R but given my track record of having blown up 2 civics and totaling a 3rd one I will stick with my 13 crv. Don't get the itch to run it hard so much.
Scotty , I've been a committed honda man the past 20 years ,owning 11 hondas and no faults until 2016 civic 1,6 dtec. 3 very expensive sensors failed , now a skoda man
I’m sure It’s great to have a vehicle that will go 500,000 miles if you don’t live in the Rust Belt. Most cars will have serious body and undercarriage rust long before 200,000 in the upper Midwest. I know the dealership will tell you to take it to the car wash more often but by the time you drive it back home it will have a fresh coat of salt. Parking it in a warm garage only speeds up the rusting process. Years back my wife and I both had Saturn L200’s which looked like new after 18 years but had timing chain issues about that time. Still loved the plastic body. No dings or rust for the life of the car.
Manual is the king. You wanna control of the road drive stick. Had a Datsun B210 manual, Mazda manual, Corolla manual, Honda Accord manual. Did I say I only drive manuals
Thought CRV stood for Compact Recreational Vehicle. I had a 2000 CRV and it’s bulletproof, loved it to bits. Upgraded to an FJ Cruiser which I also love, tho miss the CRV.

He will insult you here for having a BMW
You can if you live close enough and want to pay him $140 a hour to work on your car.
I have one - see him in the mirror every day.
He hate me because I love my Subaru. 227k miles and running like a clock.
@@hmcmullian4842 Nobody hates you. He may find your actions irrational because your experience with subaru is anything but typical. Lately - like 10-15 years - subaru has been STATISTICALLY garbage in terms of reliability. It does have superior to other AWD capabilities though but if I need to go off-road, I take one of my 4Runners. Otherwise, my AWD RAV4 Hybrid does just fine.

I’m so glad, I recently purchased the 16 civic with the 2.0L I dodged a huge bullet. Although it does have 100k miles, it’s still running strong 💪🏽 and has good gas mileage 😃
As long as you maintain it, it should reach a minimum of 200k

Why do you need so many cars
How’s the reliability of the Acura RDX and what work have you done on it? I’m considering it, but I’m worried about how long it will last (I’d have to buy one with relatively high mileage)

Yeah until you have transmission issues and value timing problems. That's why i own a 94 Celica. You don't see Scotty or i owning Honda's. That should tell you something right there.
I really miss the S2000. So much fun. I was the S2K technician at the Honda dealership I worked for. Most of the guys there didn't want to bother with them, and then there was me, the one who would run to grab the RO when I saw one pull up, lol. That motor was so gorgeous and truly a marvel of technology for its time. Heck, even by today's standards it's a beautiful piece of engineering.
I even had the pleasure of driving a handful of the S2000 CRs. Not a huge difference between the base and the CR, but its greatest allure for me was the removal hardtop vs a fold in rag-top. The slightly different front bumper, and cute racing wing were aesthetically pleasing, but eh... I could live without them. I believe there was a few more features that made the CR what it was, but it has been a LONG TIME since I worked with one. If the opportunity ever presents itself for me to snag one, I will be on it in a HEARTBEAT.
I even have a copy of the Honda service manual that covers all the years for the S2000. That sucker will be worth a pretty penny down the road (current asking price on eBay ranges $100 - 180+ for the one I have). Then again, maybe I keep it until I have the car to pair it with, lol. We shall see....
I worked at a Honda dealership and my bestfriend that also sold cars there purchased the first S2000. I am 6'3" and could barely fit in the thing. However I was young, dumb, and (maybe) a couple drinks and took that car on the turnpike and got up to 90 pretty quickly until bam! Blown engine. I think I blew out the first one! Lol. Honda flew in guys to look at the engine and they apparently engineered the oil pan to small or they didn't have enough oil. It's been since the early 2000s and my memory, well lucky I remembered that much. You must be aware of the oil delivery problem in the first S2000s. That might have been in 1999 come to think about it. It was a beautiful car. That engine blew twice actually but Honda stood by their product, fixed it with newer designed parts and then gave him a 100,000 mile warranty on the engine. Just wanted to share and hopefully you can clarify what I am saying about the oil problems in the first S2000s
@@JasonFlorida actually yes, I do recall that one. Oil Starvation issues were found on the 1st generation S2000s under heavy load. I can't remember if there was a TSB, but there was a fix they implemented. Wow, I had practically forgotten about that one until you mentioned it, lol. In my region, most of the S2k owners babied them so I never really got a hands-on experience with the repair. The guys that didn't baby their S2k typically didn't come to the dealerships either, lol.
Now that you've triggered that one I did a little hunting (Google, lol) and apparently it was the oil jet bolts (aka Banjo Bolts). That's what they changed. From what I gathered the TSB wasn't really implemented in the US under the pretense that US customers don't typically drive at "Audubon speeds" and thus it wasn't necessary. Yeah, tell that to the myriad of Honda gearheads out there. I'm CERTAIN they'd disagree wholeheartedly 🤣.
Heck, I remember a customer who managed to smash a valve into one of the pistons on an 04 Accord (K24 motor) with only 44k on it (yes, just 1). Automatic transmission. To this day, it still leaves me scratching my head as to HOW they managed to pull that one off. Wasn't my RO, but we all had to stop and marvel at the absurdity of it considering it was generally unheard of in our parts (WNY). The dent it left in the top of cylinder 2 piston was impressive. Not everyday you get to see a 3 year old Honda (at the time) with that kind of engine damage.

Re: My subaru. Had it about 110,000 when I started to get a rumble and took it to the dealer. Took the drive shafts off and rebalanced them - no cost. He called the tire company who said to take it to a particular dealer. A master mechanic took the wheels off and rebalanced the tires. I watched - perfect. We both went for a ride, first 10 miles OK then the thumping came bak. No charge. Drove home thinking. What else, outside of the engine rotates - disk brakes. Went to the shock shop and said "Replace everyting". He saaid "But the brakes are fine!" Replace the discs and calipers. He did while I watched. The brakes were original. He dropped the discs on the concrete and there was my problem - rust on the inside of the discs which were built like a soup bowl so you didn't see the rust without taking the discs off. Just an observation. Got rid of it at 150,000 for 70% of what I paid for it.
Scotty's right about Honda. Reliability is such an important feature - I've never even made a warranty claim.
Beside being reliable they have tended to be more fun to drive that many of their competitors. In many ways the sportier choice.

I used to work at the auto auction. The cars and trucks with the most miles up to 700,000 were the Toyotas, Hondas, Nissans Fords Chevys and GMC mostly older vehicles
My mom had a rav4 was a great car she drove it 250, 000 miles with no issues the person who bought its still driving around. She had a crv now and it's roomy and definitely gets up and goes really good. Idk if it'll late as long as the rav4 it's a newer one but both great vehicles shes had little to no issues with her crv either.
Agreed Toyota’s got power especially my grandfathers 2016 Corolla S model, it’s got the 4 banger with the CVT and that thing is a beast it’s been all over the country and it finally hit 100,000 miles and nothing major was done to it and he’s a heavy footer lol goes up mountains better than Honda manuals😂

It starts up so fast it’s not even funny. We have AAA for the day that it does die and then we will take her to the junkyard. But this particular model apparently is well sought after and we’ve had several people try to buy it from us. So we don’t know if we might put another engine in the damn thing.

I’m sure It’s great to have a vehicle that will go 500,000 miles if you don’t live in the Rust Belt. Most cars will have serious body and undercarriage rust long before 200,000 in the upper Midwest. I know the dealership will tell you to take it to the car wash more often but by the time you drive it back home it will have a fresh coat of salt. Parking it in a warm garage only speeds up the rusting process. Years back my wife and I both had Saturn L200’s which looked like new after 18 years but had timing chain issues about that time. Still loved the plastic body. No dings or rust for the life of the car.
