Scotty, you`re so wrong about small engines with turbo. I drive 2014 Dodge Dart with Fiat`s 1.4L Multiair Turbo, bought with 0km, overpaid in Canada, but engine...230,000kM and still not using drop of oil, all I did is change oil on time and I changed timing belt myself at 150,000kM (next time I will do this sooner). Oil is golden and beautiful and everything works fine. I had to update the ECU software, but mechanically its 100% sound still. And I put load on it, I know how to drive it, (I`m a trucker) haha Kind Regards!
Scotty, I came to you because I thought you would help me solve the problem. I can't afford to buy a different car since I was unemployed for the first time in my life, and at almost 60 years old I have found it difficult to find a new job, which has never happened to me. I need help to solve the problem not someone to tell me that I should not own a Buick. So, the fact is I have a 2013 Buick Regal Gs Turbo and currently I have no low/high Beams. The entire headlight assembly on both sides are new, with new ballast and new bulbs. They were plug n play and after installed and tested they worked fine. However, the very next time I went to drive at night, only the driving light and turn signals worked. I checked all the fuses and relays, which were all good, but did pull them and replace with new, since that wasn't costly. I also replaced the switch on the dashboard. I have a brand-new battery and my alternator has been tested and is working great. I looked at the plugs and wires but did not see any kind of issue. The only thing I have noticed is the driver's side headlight low/high beam will flick very briefly when first turned on they will go completely out. Could you please give me advice on how to fix this issue, as I figured you are very knowledgeable and might be able to assist me.
I've owned Hondas since 1988. All have been very reliable, reasonably fuel efficient, and fun to drive. Each one I exchanged has been old with high mileage, and all were still running on the original exhaust and suspension. Non developed major faults or needed expensive repairs.
I just bought one this month. Wanted a RAV4 Hybrid. Toyota was buggin still talking about market adjustments. Drove this, ordered it, waited 3 weeks, no markup, LOVE IT.
I did the same. Toyota Rav dealer had some junk fees too ( carpet floor mats, and maintenance) that the Honda CRV came standard with. So far (1,600 miles) I like it. Averaging 36.7 miles mpg. I paid 1,500 below MSRP in Florida.
I've heard there were some safety issues with the car. Apparently the rear passenger seatbelts sucked during a crash. If it wasn't for that issue i'd definitely buy the crv over the rav4.
I bought the base model Honda CRV 2023 AWD because Im old school. I don't need the bells and whistles. I wanted a reliable car to get me to work and back on a commute on country back roads. Im getting 33 mpg and I LOVE how comfortable it is. Maybe I will try a Hybrid next time. Hopefully It will be a while. I kept my last little Jeep for 12 years.
I’m still driving my 2003 accord coupe. Only looking at a CRV or rav4 now because I need more vertical cargo room for Home Depot trips and camping and we’re expecting. I think we can get by fine for a year in wife’s 2020 accord hybrid as the baby APC though 🤞
The 1.5 is a great engine. My wife got a ,2020 crv with 3 miles now it has over 60000 miles. Does not have oil dilution. Good gas mileage.i change the oil every 4000 miles and transmission fluid every 35000 miles
@@PostprandialTorpor Same. I had a 2003 accord couple EX with the 6 speed and it got declared a total loss and my insurance company wanted to sell it back to me super cheap. Just cosmetic stuff happened to it (tree limb fell on hood from high winds). Should have bought it back. I could have sold it for more than I paid for it then. I got an Acura TL and now I want an SUV for same reasons.
I bought the sport hybrid and driving mostly city streets and some freeway I’m getting 48 mpg combined. It helps that I drive like the old timer that I am.
@@Gangsta1168 Why not? I buy suv and AWD just to make sure I can haul many things from A to B, and to have better traction when snowing. Other than that, there is no need for SUV for me. Just like the OP, I try to squeeze the mpg as high as possible
We have the exact vehicle Scotty reviewed. It does sound like angels singing when it is in EV mode below 21 mph. Otherwise it would be completely silent. There is a speaker for this purpose right behind the grill.
I've got the same 1.5L turbo powerplant in my '18 Accord (CVT) - EPA says 30 city, 38 highway, 33 average but I regularly get 37+ with city driving. Best tank of gas I've had was 40.5 on a road trip (over 500 miles on that tank). It's all how you drive the car (and I don't run the AC constantly) that determines your fuel economy.
Got a 2018 Accord 1.5 Turbo..bad ars pickup and insane mpg. 41.5 on a trip to Nashville. Change the coolant and oil with fully synth. 50k miles and 1 battery change. Honda rules. Will report back when i get 125k and no issues Scotty!
This Honda hybrid isn’t a boost system anymore Scottie - this style uses the engine as a generator to juice up the battery which then powers the e-cvt. There is only a direct connection to the engine at highway speeds like 51mph up.
I heard the E-motor will go around 81 miles an hour and cannot get an answer from the Dealer. It's an either/or situation so I guessing it runs on the e motor almost all the time except when passing.
@@1g1d1w this got me thinking and I did a little research on my end - the new hybrid e-cvt does have a low lock up feature now allowing engine power to be transmitted much more and e-cvt can be used much more. The literature provided doesn’t provide numerical data, only a chart though. As a tech this is frustrating not to have data but the end result doesn’t really matter.
@@1g1d1w You can go freeway speeds on the electric motor, but there's no switch to go from one to the other. The car decides. With a well charged battery, it will go into EV mode occasionally on the freeway.
I'm a retired mechanic and bought a new CRV sport touring fully loaded. It has a better ride then the Rav4 and I don't trust the rear motor wiring connection on the Rav. In my first 1500 miles my average mpg is 36.8. I hate the audible alert while backing up, but I know how to muffle it. Any how I like it a lot.
@@thelucasstorm You can't unplug it because the computer will trip a fault code. Since it is just a speaker I intend to use caulking squirted into the speaker housing.
I'm not a car guy by any stretch, but Scotty's videos are some of the most entertaining videos in general I've watched, let alone car related ones. I was in the market for a "new" (well, used), vehicle last year and it came down for me to either a Rav 4 or CRV. I test drove both. I liked both, but liked the CRV a little better and it was slightly cheaper, so I went with that. Had it just over a year now (it's a 2016) and knock on wood it's doing great. It had ~75,000 miles on it when i got it and I've only put ~8,000 on it myself so far. Only things I've had to do was change the oil, put air in the tires, and get it inspected.
Exactly. Odyssey too. Nine speeds, except for the 2023 Pilots, ten speeds now. My wife owns a 2020 Passport. V-6 with a 9 speed. Pushing 70,000 miles now. Transmission serviced. Very good SUV.
You don't have to pay him! I brought him my car 2 months ago and he checked it out, did a test drive, gave advice, and posted a video! He makes millions on YT, he doesn't need to charge anyone.
I’ve owned three Honda CRV’s in the last 20 years. The one I’m driving now has 170,000 miles on it and I usually change them out at about 200,000 but I may keep this one going. They just don’t mess up and I’ve never had a real major repair on any of them.
Our 2012 CRV EXL has 209,000 miles on it. We're thinking of a new CRV and keeping the other one since my husband loves the challenge to keep our cars going as far as possible!
@@joebachmeier6747 What surprise, please tell? Our 2002 CRV did 170K miles. Currently got one 2009 for running errands hitting almost 285K miles on it. An oil leak has been its biggest issue.
It's weird, it seems to affect certain models and years. Here in New England, I have seen faded paint on Hondas on 5 year old models; where as 15 year old ones look perfect. There doesn't seem to be any real rhyme or reason for it.
I just bought a Cupra Leon hybrid and tbh, this thing is amazing. Got 245hp and only uses 3l of petrol on 100km (i kinda am a pedal to the metal driver so yea, it usually is lower if i dont push it. My lowest was 2.3l on 100km). The car is packed full of features, safety measures and comfort, its amazing honestly. I think hybrid is the way to go for the future, not full EV.
@@UsamaJaffery Thats not an issue at all. I came from an old 5 series BMW E60 which was terrible in fuel economy, broke down all the time and just wasnt too great of a car (even though it looks beautiful). Also most VW cars are pretty inexpensive to maintain in germany, so yea, im fine with that. (I do, however, think the Cupra Leon looks way better than any Golf out there)
@@Theforbiddenkingdom7095 Those numbers are definitely wrong. I don't know why people lie and exaggerate how good their fuel economy is. What's the point?
The Car Care Nut has an excellent video on the new CR-V. I thought seriously about buying one for my next car, but passed, mainly because it was way bigger than what I needed, and more money than I wanted to spend too. My 2024 Crosstrek has an electronic parking brake. I really like it actually, no lever to pull up or pedal to push down.
Yeah Car Care Nut does a nice technical comparison of the Honda and Toyota hybrid systems. Many differences in the approach. This video is more of a cartoon. 😂
Got that Model 2023 CRV Hybrid Touring and we are happy with the way it drives, excellent fuel economy 41mpg average for us. The only disappointment is the wireless charger does not work well but even Toyota has the same issue so nothing much to do there.
I own exactly the same trim 2023 CR-V as on this video, got mine among the first one's back in December 2022, and I got to say, that current Honda built quality has disappointed me. Paint coating of the inside portions of the doors is so poor, that I got corrosion in 4 months old car! This is unacceptable! Went to my local dealership to claim the warranty repairs. While they were fixing it, I've been curious and went on their lot to check a few brand new CR-V's for the same area, and unfortunately, same poor coating and uneven gaps on the hood/fenders area, the lift gate and side panels as well! And lastly, what the service department manager told me about those findings, shocked me! His words exactly " It's okay for the mass production vehicles" Previously, I had spent hours on the phone with the American Honda call center about this issue trying to get someone in the quality control management, but unfortunately they've said that there is no such one, so that's probably why Honda manufacturing going down in the quality I guess? So sad experience. Beware, and check on those things at the time of purchase!
The gaps is just because of the factory they were built in.. probably the same factory yours was...I've heard a lot of people having minor issues with tacomas
I got a 2021 jazz (or fit in usa) and the built quality is phenomenal, an a.hole bumped his door on my car, it was remaining paint of this car on my frame, after cleaning it, zero scratchis on my car.
We are on our second Honda which is a 23’ CRV Sport Touring as shown in this video. Happy so far. However, our first Honda was a 2017 Civic Sport with the 1.5L turbo engine. Earlier this year that car had a head gasket failure at 138k miles. Issue began with misfires and the car eventually became unsafe to drive. Worked with a local Honda dealer in central PA and had the gasket and injectors replaced and the car is running. It’s been 10k miles since the repair. We were somewhat disappointed with the unexpected head gasket issue on the Civic. Hopefully this CRV hybrid treats us good. I enjoy your videos.
My 05 Honda Accord has a gasket issue and problem after problem with trying to get the car started. Switched over to Toyota and am pretty damn happy with it.
@@MrNaisyQ LOL it was an 18 year old car! It will need repairs. I purchased a 10 year old corolla off my friends senior mother. Only 100k miles on it and it had the engine replaced with a junkyard engine. Nothing lasts forever!
@@MrNaisyQMy first car was a 89 honda civic 1.2l 16V, I bought it used with 100k miles on it and I drove another 250k miles without any problems, until someone crashed into me and it was totaled. My friend's 04 toyota corolla had a blown gasket 3 years ago, that doesn't mean that toyota sucks, it happens. He bought another cheap used engine with 200k miles on it and until now it works like a charm. But as @steve8803 said, nothing lasts forever.
Did you lease the crv hybrid or you are financing this is the part that no one explain I don’t trust on hybrid for get financing because no one explains the problem on future and i feel the others trims that are non hybrid are so disappointing they give us the best option for hybrid trying to force everyone to get those sports models why they didn’t do the sport touring on non hybrid ?
Leasers do not care about the complexity / less longevity. They only drive it for three years and than get something else. For the 2nd and 3rd owner, Scotty is absolutely right.
I have no problem with small turbos and they get good mileage. That’s been my experience with my Chevy Cruze which I’ve had for nearly 10 years and driven for 160,000 so far. And it will be a lot less expensive to fix than a hybrid in my opinion.
You’re crazy hybrid’s especially Toyotas that were make in 2017 and above get way past 250k miles with original parts and just oil/cvt fluid changes. Yes small turbos as long as you don’t beat them and maintain them they will last a long while unfortunately most people treat them like crap and blow them up
Your Chezy Cruze lasted past 100k miles? I'm truly shocked. I've heard scotty give sour reviews on Cruzes. You are probably meticulous with maintenance
The problem with your Chevy Cruz has nothing to do with a turbo it’s always gonna be the transmission. You’re lucky that thing still drives. Hope you bought the warranty as Scotty would say.
I said that the rav4 was very good and the brand is of excellent quality...but I'm disappointed...first since February it's in the workshop for water rail leaks, the whole interior of the car was rotten, no device was working security, all wiring and seats were damaged. and now i got a letter telling me that if my rav4 :grunts, groans or drops something when accelerating from 20 to 40 miles or slowing down from 40 to 20... could it be defective front transfer case electromagnetic clutch and guess? has it too!
Picked up a 2025 CRV Sport L today. It got over 50 mpg on the highway at times today. Very satisfied with this vehicle. Don’t need a stinking turbo! LOL
I just bought a brand new 2024 Honda CR-V Sport Touring AWD-- the top of the line. I also just recently bought a 2023 Toyota RAV4 XSE Hybrid for my 21 year old son. They are both excellent cars. I would say I prefer the way the Toyota drives, but IMO the CR-V is a lot more comfortable both in the driver's seat and in the backseats. You also get more legroom in the CR-V's backseat. My son preferred the sporty look of the RAV4 -- the CR-V sort of has mom car vibes (I think because the CR-V has tail lights similar to a Volvo). He has these nice looking Softex seats which are probably a good idea for him or maybe someone driving around with a younger child. I think you can't go wrong with either one of these cars because they are both so similar, including their price. Both of these cars are in high demand, so you would have to order one which takes a few weeks. The only thing that would make me buy a Toyota over the Honda, would be the ridiculous dealer mark-ups that the Honda dealers are doing. It's very, very difficult to find one that isn't adding $2500 + worth of crap onto their cars.
Where I live (CA) Toyota has the 5k markups still. Also, to get all the bells/whistles the RAV4 ends up being higher cost even without the mark ups. However, both are great SUVs!
Does anyone know if I can take my 2023 Lexus RX350 to a Toyota dealer for an oil change and possible minor repairs if it ever needs them? I live very close to a Toyota dealer and the closest Lexus dealer is over an hour away.
I was set on buying a 2024 Kia Sportage, but when I saw this video right before going to the dealership, I changed idea and stopped at a Honda dealer. I'm a proud owner of a 2024 CRV Hybrid now because of you lol
Went to look at a Rav4 and CR-V today. Did not even end up driving the Rav, it was much smaller than anticipated. The CR-V was VERY roomy. Tons of legroom in the back, plenty of headroom up front. Loved the drive of the CR-V and strongly considering purchasing one.
I still remember when you said all these new cars are endless money pits. Keyless startup, lower quality materials, turbo charged engines, all these while their prices skyrockets. New cars are also designed to have shorter maintenance intervals. Greedy companies will suck you dry. They're greedy because we keep buying em. Also, Toyota's CEO resigned because he didn't like where the company is heading. If that's not a huge red flag, I don't know what is.
Breaking News..... Tomorrow Toyota shocks the entire car industry. WEDNESDAY HONDA ONCE AGAIN SHOCKS THE ENTIRE CAR INDUSTRY..THURSDAY yeah you guessed it Toyota.
Seriously...I love Scotty's channel but it's getting repetitive with the same ole same ole. I wish somebody would bring him something different. I tried when I brought him my Fusion Hybrid which was featured a few weeks back. He needs something else besides CRV's, RAV 4's, Camrys, etc.
@@ShadowBannedagain I couldn't help but laugh at this haha. I was expecting the worst when I brought him my Fusion but I didn't care lol. Instead he said almost all positive things about it while making fun of the Prius' ride. He mainly praised the car due to the fact it has a Toyota designed transmission and engine. I have noticed he tends to praise peoples personal cars then a day later trashes the same brand. He's been on a tear against Ford lately lol
I bought a 2023 accord sport hybrid, no spare. I went to discount tire and bought a new 17inch steel wheel and a new tire for under $300. Problem solved lol
@@thegoldenhurricane Exactly. More and more manufacturers are moving away from spares, unfortunately. They should be giving you a run flat tire system which will work to get you a shop. If you really want a spare, just go buy a cheap one and stick it in the trunk. $100 easy fix is a deal breaker on a vehicle? Yikes.
@@robertgreenhalge1708 people want cars they can't afford plain and simple then complain about this example spare tire .... you could easily buy a spare at junkyard but they want everything perfect in life. Sometimes you can't get everything you want in life thought I'd just say that. yes everyone wants a new car it's just material nothing more doesn't define you or who you are. So many people cars this and that materialistic materialistic materialistic ...... that's not what life is all about some people are just whacked
@@Longneckmexican I agree with this statement. The reality is, no vehicle is perfect and all will have some negative aspects. Something major being a deal breaker is fine but complaining about lack of a spare is just being petty. It's like complaining about lack of a trunk organizer lol. This is a quick, inexpensive, and easy fix.
So many misconceptions about hybrids. In the real word the batteries do last a VERY long time. I'm going on ten years now on my PHEV hybrid and the batter is just fine.
Agreed. The misconceptions come from folks who don't or have no desire to have one. But too each their own, and if they want to shell out money for gas, let 'em. I went from filling at least once a week to once a month. Average 55-60mpg in the city. Went at high as 84mpg. There are literally 20 year old Prius's out there still driving on their original battery. It shocks me people still think hybrid is "new" technology. It isn't lol. Hybrids have been around for over 20 years at this point and have been perfected over time.
Scotty, I think you contradicted yourself, you previously said the 1.5L was a good engine and and if you maintain it properly it will last a long time..I guess something changed..Can you enlighten us on that??🤔🤔
Hey I got a 98 ford ranger with 367k miles, everything still works as it should, proper maintenance is all it has taken, two clutches and three timing belts besides brakes, oil changes and an AC condenser
We took delivery of our AWD Touring Hybrid (in Canada) about a week ago. I had the 2019 Civic Hatch with the 1.5 turbo and it was great in that car, even with the CVT. Mated to the CVT in the CRV, it's a dog. The drive of the hybrid CRV is vastly improved. Based on the first few hundred kilometers, I've decided I can make a choice; ignore maximum fuel economy and enjoy the drive, or slow down and use the "B" mode to maximize fuel economy. I don't think you can have both. Either way, loving it so far.
@@SyrupCanuck over the first half tank, based on numbers from the car, 6.5l/100k (or 36.2mpg). It's AWD, not broken in, and still figuring out best method for maximizing the fuel economy. Haven't done enough pure highway driving to get a true sense. I'm happy with those numbers... beats the Audi we traded by a huge margin.
Here in Canada, since the CRV has been using that 1.5T engine, MANY owners have been complaining of not being able to property HEAT their ''cabins'' in the winters... Also, difficulty in keeping their windshields from ''de-icing''... Hope Honda solved these issues on this new model... Cheers!
I never know with these thumb nails if its gonna be a mini documentary or him behind a computer. The man is dangerous with thumb nails. Love him all the same
Baby it. Do oil changes often and don't drive hard. It's an Accord...you should be okay. Probably not a 200k mile vehicle, but shouldn't fail unexpectedly. This vehicle, being an SUV, a 1.5L engine simply isn't going to hold up over time. People see "Turbo" and think sporty so they push it. On a tiny 1.5L engine so they wear them out fast. Most turbos put on new vehicles today are simply meant to help with acceleration given they are all placing tiny engines to increase gas ratings. And hey...be glad you didn't get the new turbo Tundra's which are exploding at 15k miles!
Shout out from Peterborough Ontario Canada, Love you Scotty. My neighbor just picked one up a few months ago. My GF and I have a 2016 CRV and a 2018 Ridgeline and our tenant has a 2012 Civic manual. Our neighborhood has alot of Hondas.
I thought the same thing. I don't like small engines with turbos. They should stick with the slightly bigger engine. I'm also not a fan of the CVT transmisson
Even the sport hybrid trim has the nice hood. Has the n/a 2.0 L which is way better than their 1.5L TC motors. The touring looks like a terrible mess here under the engine bay. I've been getting 48.4mpg on mine.
That's why I stopped listening to him. He is too confusing. One day he praises a car, the following day he is like "why is a bad idea to buy this car?". Just go and buy whatever reliable affordable car you want and maintain it periodically several times a year.
~9:42 🔥🤔 How do I identify which Toyota models (and respective model years) had that particular CVT - with the 1st gear for launching that switches to CVT mode after 1st gear?
Imagine buying a brand new car and taking it to Scotty so he could check out. Come to find out he makes a video talking crap about your exciting new purchase 😂
6:45 FYI, I have this car, and I love it. But, the dual exhaust is just for show. Only one of them is a real exhaust. And, the sport mode pumps sound into the cabin! It does sound good, and it does give you pick up.
Im actually looking at getting the new Honda Pilot. I like it because an SUV that sized should be powered by an N/A V6 with a regular automatic, which it is. 3.5L V6 and 10 speed Auto. I really like the way they look too lol.
I have the 2017 CR-V and the only thing I've had to do was basic maintenance and a battery change. I'm at a little over 100k miles and I drive it on sports mode every now and again 😂🤭
I, too have a 2017 CR-V - this is my second as I had a 2011 I traded in for this one! I’m getting close to 100,000 miles and have never had a single problem. We started with a 1989 Honda Accord and them had Acuras after that - we still have our 1999TL and our son now has our 2006 TL. I went back to Honda in 2011 when I had a very bad accident with my wonderful 2003 RAX Type S with a 6-speed and 200hp. I still miss that car!!! I’ve never had a single problem with either of my CR-V autos. But I’m not interested in buying a hybrid ever!!!
@@sandybruce9092 Then don't buy a hybrid, noody is pushing you to buy a hybrid at this time, just know that Honda plan (if you are Honda fan, which seemingly you are by your comment) is to go Hybrid in the future! But again, maybe at the time Honda is on Hybrid, you don't need to buy vehicle anymore since it seems you are at least middle aged by now?

I drive 2014 Dodge Dart with Fiat`s 1.4L Multiair Turbo, bought with 0km, overpaid in Canada, but engine...230,000kM and still not using drop of oil, all I did is change oil on time and I changed timing belt myself at 150,000kM (next time I will do this sooner). Oil is golden and beautiful and everything works fine. I had to update the ECU software, but mechanically its 100% sound still. And I put load on it, I know how to drive it, (I`m a trucker) haha
Kind Regards!
that doesn't help me now, as I currently own a Buick and need help with my issue.
Scotty you should do honda passport review too
Scotty, I came to you because I thought you would help me solve the problem. I can't afford to buy a different car since I was unemployed for the first time in my life, and at almost 60 years old I have found it difficult to find a new job, which has never happened to me. I need help to solve the problem not someone to tell me that I should not own a Buick. So, the fact is I have a 2013 Buick Regal Gs Turbo and currently I have no low/high Beams. The entire headlight assembly on both sides are new, with new ballast and new bulbs. They were plug n play and after installed and tested they worked fine. However, the very next time I went to drive at night, only the driving light and turn signals worked. I checked all the fuses and relays, which were all good, but did pull them and replace with new, since that wasn't costly. I also replaced the switch on the dashboard. I have a brand-new battery and my alternator has been tested and is working great. I looked at the plugs and wires but did not see any kind of issue. The only thing I have noticed is the driver's side headlight low/high beam will flick very briefly when first turned on they will go completely out. Could you please give me advice on how to fix this issue, as I figured you are very knowledgeable and might be able to assist me.
Hi Scotty, what about the Subaru Forester?
I've owned Hondas since 1988. All have been very reliable, reasonably fuel efficient, and fun to drive. Each one I exchanged has been old with high mileage, and all were still running on the original exhaust and suspension. Non developed major faults or needed expensive repairs.
I've had one Honda that was a total piece of crap. The Element. Not at all like normal Honda quality. I had trouble looking at Honda again.
@@Antiorganizermy 2012 Honda fit is still going strong! 💪
@@Antiorganizerbasicly a kia soul lmaooo
the Honda Element came out about 5 years *before* the Kia Soul.
@@AndrewMaksym That is called an anecdote. Someone somewhere having had good luck with something. It doesn't mean that that something is always good.
I just bought one this month. Wanted a RAV4 Hybrid. Toyota was buggin still talking about market adjustments. Drove this, ordered it, waited 3 weeks, no markup, LOVE IT.
Looking to buy one next month, how much you paid for yours
@@kidmangu200 $36k sticker. Paid for extra warranty and good protection. Was out the door at $40k
🎉🎉🎉I just bought it exl last week and I love it so much
I did the same. Toyota Rav dealer had some junk fees too ( carpet floor mats, and maintenance) that the Honda CRV came standard with. So far (1,600 miles) I like it. Averaging 36.7 miles mpg. I paid 1,500 below MSRP in Florida.
I've heard there were some safety issues with the car. Apparently the rear passenger seatbelts sucked during a crash. If it wasn't for that issue i'd definitely buy the crv over the rav4.
I bought the base model Honda CRV 2023 AWD because Im old school. I don't need the bells and whistles. I wanted a reliable car to get me to work and back on a commute on country back roads. Im getting 33 mpg and I LOVE how comfortable it is. Maybe I will try a Hybrid next time. Hopefully It will be a while. I kept my last little Jeep for 12 years.

I drive a 1999 and 2000, both nice cars, both manuals. There is NO way that is an option for everyone.
I’m still driving my 2003 accord coupe. Only looking at a CRV or rav4 now because I need more vertical cargo room for Home Depot trips and camping and we’re expecting. I think we can get by fine for a year in wife’s 2020 accord hybrid as the baby APC though 🤞
The 1.5 is a great engine. My wife got a ,2020 crv with 3 miles now it has over 60000 miles. Does not have oil dilution. Good gas mileage.i change the oil every 4000 miles and transmission fluid every 35000 miles
@@PostprandialTorpor Same. I had a 2003 accord couple EX with the 6 speed and it got declared a total loss and my insurance company wanted to sell it back to me super cheap.

I got an Acura TL and now I want an SUV for same reasons.
I bought a 2023 Honda HRV, happy with it. My 3rd Honda, love them.

I've got the same 1.5L turbo powerplant in my '18 Accord (CVT) - EPA says 30 city, 38 highway, 33 average but I regularly get 37+ with city driving. Best tank of gas I've had was 40.5 on a road trip (over 500 miles on that tank). It's all how you drive the car (and I don't run the AC constantly) that determines your fuel economy.
I drive a 18 accord. I average 30 mpg but I do 90 percent city driving. Idk how you can get 37 city driving, unless it’s a hybrid.
I just traded in an 18 crv exl for a 23 crv exl. I had no issues with the engine. The 18 was reporting similar numbers to your accord.
Got same 1.5T in 2022 Accord. Honda mobile mechanic on YT recommended 93 octane due to 1.5 blowing head gaskets.
Got a 2018 Accord 1.5 Turbo..bad ars pickup and insane mpg. 41.5 on a trip to Nashville. Change the coolant and oil with fully synth. 50k miles and 1 battery change. Honda rules. Will report back when i get 125k and no issues Scotty!

Nah.. I bet you can't remember what you had for breakfast.. 😂😂
This Honda hybrid isn’t a boost system anymore Scottie - this style uses the engine as a generator to juice up the battery which then powers the e-cvt. There is only a direct connection to the engine at highway speeds like 51mph up.
@linkzz00 👈💩
I heard the E-motor will go around 81 miles an hour and cannot get an answer from the Dealer. It's an either/or situation so I guessing it runs on the e motor almost all the time except when passing.
@@1g1d1w this got me thinking and I did a little research on my end - the new hybrid e-cvt does have a low lock up feature now allowing engine power to be transmitted much more and e-cvt can be used much more. The literature provided doesn’t provide numerical data, only a chart though. As a tech this is frustrating not to have data but the end result doesn’t really matter.
@@1g1d1w You can go freeway speeds on the electric motor, but there's no switch to go from one to the other. The car decides. With a well charged battery, it will go into EV mode occasionally on the freeway.
Scotty the pics you put in your videos to describe something is second to none my friend.
I'm a retired mechanic and bought a new CRV sport touring fully loaded. It has a better ride then the Rav4 and I don't trust the rear motor wiring connection on the Rav. In my first 1500 miles my average mpg is 36.8. I hate the audible alert while backing up, but I know how to muffle it. Any how I like it a lot.
How do you muffle it?
@@thelucasstorm You can't unplug it because the computer will trip a fault code. Since it is just a speaker I intend to use caulking squirted into the speaker housing.
I'm not a car guy by any stretch, but Scotty's videos are some of the most entertaining videos in general I've watched, let alone car related ones. I was in the market for a "new" (well, used), vehicle last year and it came down for me to either a Rav 4 or CRV. I test drove both. I liked both, but liked the CRV a little better and it was slightly cheaper, so I went with that. Had it just over a year now (it's a 2016) and knock on wood it's doing great. It had ~75,000 miles on it when i got it and I've only put ~8,000 on it myself so far. Only things I've had to do was change the oil, put air in the tires, and get it inspected.
You can still get a Honda with a regular auto trans. Passport, Pilot, and Ridgeline are non-cvt, I believe.
True, it’s a bummer though they don’t give you the option to get an automatic transmission with the four cylinder cars
Exactly. Odyssey too. Nine speeds, except for the 2023 Pilots, ten speeds now. My wife owns a 2020 Passport. V-6 with a 9 speed. Pushing 70,000 miles now. Transmission serviced. Very good SUV.
Correct. I have a Ridgeline with 150k miles.. she’s a beast!!

Not really. My wife had an orange 09 honda fit 5 spd sport, ..the paint was perfect..I have an 07 5 spd civic, paint is perfect..
It's weird, it seems to affect certain models and years. Here in New England, I have seen faded paint on Hondas on 5 year old models; where as 15 year old ones look perfect. There doesn't seem to be any real rhyme or reason for it.
Ya but you’re driving a freaking ugly Subaru…I’d take a peeling Honda before I drove a tree hugger special…
Only our 1999 Acura TL has a cosmetic problem! None of our other Acuras or Hondas ever had any finish problems!
I just bought a Cupra Leon hybrid and tbh, this thing is amazing. Got 245hp and only uses 3l of petrol on 100km (i kinda am a pedal to the metal driver so yea, it usually is lower if i dont push it. My lowest was 2.3l on 100km). The car is packed full of features, safety measures and comfort, its amazing honestly. I think hybrid is the way to go for the future, not full EV.
happy for you. but technically you bought a VW Golf.
@@UsamaJaffery Thats not an issue at all. I came from an old 5 series BMW E60 which was terrible in fuel economy, broke down all the time and just wasnt too great of a car (even though it looks beautiful). Also most VW cars are pretty inexpensive to maintain in germany, so yea, im fine with that. (I do, however, think the Cupra Leon looks way better than any Golf out there)

I own exactly the same trim 2023 CR-V as on this video, got mine among the first one's back in December 2022, and I got to say, that current Honda built quality has disappointed me. Paint coating of the inside portions of the doors is so poor, that I got corrosion in 4 months old car! This is unacceptable! Went to my local dealership to claim the warranty repairs. While they were fixing it, I've been curious and went on their lot to check a few brand new CR-V's for the same area, and unfortunately, same poor coating and uneven gaps on the hood/fenders area, the lift gate and side panels as well!
And lastly, what the service department manager told me about those findings, shocked me! His words exactly " It's okay for the mass production vehicles"
Previously, I had spent hours on the phone with the American Honda call center about this issue trying to get someone in the quality control management, but unfortunately they've said that there is no such one, so that's probably why Honda manufacturing going down in the quality I guess? So sad experience. Beware, and check on those things at the time of purchase!
The gaps is just because of the factory they were built in.. probably the same factory yours was...I've heard a lot of people having minor issues with tacomas
I got a 2021 jazz (or fit in usa) and the built quality is phenomenal, an a.hole bumped his door on my car, it was remaining paint of this car on my frame, after cleaning it, zero scratchis on my car.
@@kojsiusoaliu6772Yours more likely was built in Japan, that's why it's quality is better.
Can you give a photo on exactly where the corrosion happens? I have 23 crv Hybrid and want to compare yours and mine!
We are on our second Honda which is a 23’ CRV Sport Touring as shown in this video. Happy so far. However, our first Honda was a 2017 Civic Sport with the 1.5L turbo engine. Earlier this year that car had a head gasket failure at 138k miles. Issue began with misfires and the car eventually became unsafe to drive. Worked with a local Honda dealer in central PA and had the gasket and injectors replaced and the car is running. It’s been 10k miles since the repair. We were somewhat disappointed with the unexpected head gasket issue on the Civic. Hopefully this CRV hybrid treats us good. I enjoy your videos.
My 05 Honda Accord has a gasket issue and problem after problem with trying to get the car started. Switched over to Toyota and am pretty damn happy with it.
@@MrNaisyQ LOL it was an 18 year old car! It will need repairs. I purchased a 10 year old corolla off my friends senior mother. Only 100k miles on it and it had the engine replaced with a junkyard engine. Nothing lasts forever!
@@MrNaisyQMy first car was a 89 honda civic 1.2l 16V, I bought it used with 100k miles on it and I drove another 250k miles without any problems, until someone crashed into me and it was totaled. My friend's 04 toyota corolla had a blown gasket 3 years ago, that doesn't mean that toyota sucks, it happens. He bought another cheap used engine with 200k miles on it and until now it works like a charm. But as @steve8803 said, nothing lasts forever.
honestly for 138k thats not too bad for maintenance
Did you lease the crv hybrid or you are financing this is the part that no one explain I don’t trust on hybrid for get financing because no one explains the problem on future and i feel the others trims that are non hybrid are so disappointing they give us the best option for hybrid trying to force everyone to get those sports models why they didn’t do the sport touring on non hybrid ?
"The angel's are with us!" Lol😂
🤣🤣
Leasers do not care about the complexity / less longevity. They only drive it for three years and than get something else. For the 2nd and 3rd owner, Scotty is absolutely right.
5:05 It's real leather :) 6:34 Single exhaust not dual (one is cosmetic), in sport mode the sound comes from the speakers.
I have no problem with small turbos and they get good mileage. That’s been my experience with my Chevy Cruze which I’ve had for nearly 10 years and driven for 160,000 so far. And it will be a lot less expensive to fix than a hybrid in my opinion.
You’re crazy hybrid’s especially Toyotas that were make in 2017 and above get way past 250k miles with original parts and just oil/cvt fluid changes. Yes small turbos as long as you don’t beat them and maintain them they will last a long while unfortunately most people treat them like crap and blow them up
Your Chezy Cruze lasted past 100k miles? I'm truly shocked. I've heard scotty give sour reviews on Cruzes. You are probably meticulous with maintenance
He meant for bigger cars
The problem with your Chevy Cruz has nothing to do with a turbo it’s always gonna be the transmission. You’re lucky that thing still drives. Hope you bought the warranty as Scotty would say.
@@azmedz I have the manual.
Scotty I know it's not a Toyota but I bought this car and love it. Hopefully it's reliable.
I said that the rav4 was very good and the brand is of excellent quality...but I'm disappointed...first since February it's in the workshop for water rail leaks, the whole interior of the car was rotten, no device was working security, all wiring and seats were damaged. and now i got a letter telling me that if my rav4 :grunts, groans or drops something when accelerating from 20 to 40 miles or slowing down from 40 to 20... could it be defective front transfer case electromagnetic clutch and guess? has it too!

I just bought a brand new 2024 Honda CR-V Sport Touring AWD-- the top of the line. I also just recently bought a 2023 Toyota RAV4 XSE Hybrid for my 21 year old son. They are both excellent cars. I would say I prefer the way the Toyota drives, but IMO the CR-V is a lot more comfortable both in the driver's seat and in the backseats. You also get more legroom in the CR-V's backseat. My son preferred the sporty look of the RAV4 -- the CR-V sort of has mom car vibes (I think because the CR-V has tail lights similar to a Volvo). He has these nice looking Softex seats which are probably a good idea for him or maybe someone driving around with a younger child. I think you can't go wrong with either one of these cars because they are both so similar, including their price. Both of these cars are in high demand, so you would have to order one which takes a few weeks. The only thing that would make me buy a Toyota over the Honda, would be the ridiculous dealer mark-ups that the Honda dealers are doing. It's very, very difficult to find one that isn't adding $2500 + worth of crap onto their cars.
Welcome to Capitalism.. Now stop complaining.. 😂😂😂
Yeah, still better than the other systems as history has shown.
Where I live (CA) Toyota has the 5k markups still. Also, to get all the bells/whistles the RAV4 ends up being higher cost even without the mark ups. However, both are great SUVs!
I bought the CRV Hybrid Sport. it has the 4 cyl not turbo. I stayed away from the Rav 4 because of Rust gate. Rust of the plug to the battery.

The entire car industry just needs to step back, take a deep breath, and stop being shocked by everything.
Went to look at a Rav4 and CR-V today. Did not even end up driving the Rav, it was much smaller than anticipated. The CR-V was VERY roomy. Tons of legroom in the back, plenty of headroom up front. Loved the drive of the CR-V and strongly considering purchasing one.

I still remember when you said all these new cars are endless money pits. Keyless startup, lower quality materials, turbo charged engines, all these while their prices skyrockets.
New cars are also designed to have shorter maintenance intervals. Greedy companies will suck you dry. They're greedy because we keep buying em.
Also, Toyota's CEO resigned because he didn't like where the company is heading. If that's not a huge red flag, I don't know what is.

@@ShadowBannedagain I couldn't help but laugh at this haha.
I was expecting the worst when I brought him my Fusion but I didn't care lol. Instead he said almost all positive things about it while making fun of the Prius' ride. He mainly praised the car due to the fact it has a Toyota designed transmission and engine.

Bought one for my mom, she loves it. I do too.
So many misconceptions about hybrids. In the real word the batteries do last a VERY long time. I'm going on ten years now on my PHEV hybrid and the batter is just fine.
Agreed. The misconceptions come from folks who don't or have no desire to have one. But too each their own, and if they want to shell out money for gas, let 'em. I went from filling at least once a week to once a month. Average 55-60mpg in the city. Went at high as 84mpg. There are literally 20 year old Prius's out there still driving on their original battery.
It shocks me people still think hybrid is "new" technology. It isn't lol. Hybrids have been around for over 20 years at this point and have been perfected over time.

@@epytaffskitchenstink Watch out for rust.
All the new CRV's here in downtown Toronto seem to be Ubers Scotty! I cant buy one, cause I dont wanna look like an Uber driver 😂
We took delivery of our AWD Touring Hybrid (in Canada) about a week ago. I had the 2019 Civic Hatch with the 1.5 turbo and it was great in that car, even with the CVT. Mated to the CVT in the CRV, it's a dog. The drive of the hybrid CRV is vastly improved. Based on the first few hundred kilometers, I've decided I can make a choice; ignore maximum fuel economy and enjoy the drive, or slow down and use the "B" mode to maximize fuel economy. I don't think you can have both. Either way, loving it so far.
How's mpgs? How's highway mpg?
@@SyrupCanuck I'm getting 6.0L/100km mixed driving. Just crossed 2000kms
@@sundown89 My drive is western Ont 401 with hills driving to KW for work. So curious how this would do. 120km round trip.
@@SyrupCanuck over the first half tank, based on numbers from the car, 6.5l/100k (or 36.2mpg). It's AWD, not broken in, and still figuring out best method for maximizing the fuel economy. Haven't done enough pure highway driving to get a true sense. I'm happy with those numbers... beats the Audi we traded by a huge margin.
@@tpaddock891 Amazing. My Subaru Crosstrek is avg 7.9l mostly hwy mixed. I'll be looking at one of these Honda's
Scotty please review the 2023 Honda Pilot 🙏
Here in Canada, since the CRV has been using that 1.5T engine, MANY owners have been complaining of not being able to property HEAT their ''cabins'' in the winters... Also, difficulty in keeping their windshields from ''de-icing''... Hope Honda solved these issues on this new model... Cheers!
Oh no..😮
They didn't. I did the recalls, I worked at the dealership. Honda doesn't care. You already bought it.
I never know with these thumb nails if its gonna be a mini documentary or him behind a computer. The man is dangerous with thumb nails. Love him all the same
The CRV Hybrid comes with a 2.0 litre engine, not a 1.5. The non hybrid has the 1.5.
he already stated that in the video he was talking about both in the video
The best review! 👋🏽😂💯
Already regretting buying a 1.5T accord. It’s fine so far at 43k, but now I’m reading how horrible they are.
Baby it. Do oil changes often and don't drive hard. It's an Accord...you should be okay. Probably not a 200k mile vehicle, but shouldn't fail unexpectedly. This vehicle, being an SUV, a 1.5L engine simply isn't going to hold up over time.
People see "Turbo" and think sporty so they push it. On a tiny 1.5L engine so they wear them out fast. Most turbos put on new vehicles today are simply meant to help with acceleration given they are all placing tiny engines to increase gas ratings.
And hey...be glad you didn't get the new turbo Tundra's which are exploding at 15k miles!
@@robertgreenhalge1708 oh i definitely baby it. I'm all about gas mileage.
Bought one last night. Where to send the commission check, Scotty?
Shout out from Peterborough Ontario Canada, Love you Scotty. My neighbor just picked one up a few months ago. My GF and I have a 2016 CRV and a 2018 Ridgeline and our tenant has a 2012 Civic manual. Our neighborhood has alot of Hondas.
I ve the 2013 accord. Only change brake pads and oil. Wirh filter. No issues. Still no major issues
I thought the same thing. I don't like small engines with turbos. They should stick with the slightly bigger engine. I'm also not a fan of the CVT transmisson
Yep. Cvt transmissions are crap
Thanks Scotty! You're the best!
Even the sport hybrid trim has the nice hood. Has the n/a 2.0 L which is way better than their 1.5L TC motors. The touring looks like a terrible mess here under the engine bay. I've been getting 48.4mpg on mine.
ya sure 48.4 mpg if you have FWD and using it on a downslope most the time.
The front end is so much prettier than back a few years ago. Especially in white.
Wait for tomorrow's video where Scott says Hondas are a piece of sh-art 😂
And he's going to retire again 😜
That celica is gonna outlive Scotty and that new Honda.
He has does that EVs too!
That's why I stopped listening to him. He is too confusing. One day he praises a car, the following day he is like "why is a bad idea to buy this car?". Just go and buy whatever reliable affordable car you want and maintain it periodically several times a year.
@@dnn32 I thought that only I thought like that
~9:42 🔥🤔 How do I identify which Toyota models (and respective model years) had that particular CVT - with the 1st gear for launching that switches to CVT mode after 1st gear?
Called Direct Shift CVT introduced in 2018, search k120 toyota cvt for list of models and years.
Imagine buying a brand new car and taking it to Scotty so he could check out. Come to find out he makes a video talking crap about your exciting new purchase 😂
😂😂
New nightmare unlocked, ty😂
And have the animals laughing their asses off at you.. 😂😂😂
Disagree on the 1.5t. We have one and it gets advertised gas mileage and is a joy to drive. Zero issues with the engine.
Well of course zero issues...it's probably low milage..
@@richsweeney1115 do you have one and have had issues….?
I have a Civic 1.5T CVT with 150k. No problems and I average 40-45 mpg with plenty of power.
@@aaronbarber4381 just some goof ball parroting what he has been told that they are unreliable
@@NAS_Performance yes sir. I also have a new CRV with the 1.5T. Definitely has the power I need for a suv.
"The angels are with us!!!"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
6:45 FYI, I have this car, and I love it. But, the dual exhaust is just for show. Only one of them is a real exhaust. And, the sport mode pumps sound into the cabin! It does sound good, and it does give you pick up.
Im actually looking at getting the new Honda Pilot. I like it because an SUV that sized should be powered by an N/A V6 with a regular automatic, which it is. 3.5L V6 and 10 speed Auto. I really like the way they look too lol.
Good content . As an aside, waving arms so much is a lot like the inflatable tube man. Very funny!
I have the 2017 CR-V and the only thing I've had to do was basic maintenance and a battery change. I'm at a little over 100k miles and I drive it on sports mode every now and again 😂🤭
I, too have a 2017 CR-V - this is my second as I had a 2011 I traded in for this one! I’m getting close to 100,000 miles and have never had a single problem. We started with a 1989 Honda Accord and them had Acuras after that - we still have our 1999TL and our son now has our 2006 TL. I went back to Honda in 2011 when I had a very bad accident with my wonderful 2003 RAX Type S with a 6-speed and 200hp. I still miss that car!!! I’ve never had a single problem with either of my CR-V autos. But I’m not interested in buying a hybrid ever!!!
@@sandybruce9092 Then don't buy a hybrid, noody is pushing you to buy a hybrid at this time, just know that Honda plan (if you are Honda fan, which seemingly you are by your comment) is to go Hybrid in the future! But again, maybe at the time Honda is on Hybrid, you don't need to buy vehicle anymore since it seems you are at least middle aged by now?
Great! is it a 1.5T ?
