Just figured I would I would update you the good news. After a month of dealing with best buys installation team and threatening to destroy their reputation for rescheduling my appointment 3 times in 1 month and wouldn't show up on time. Tried making me schedule a 4th time. They finally decided to back out let me take the TV home and hire my own install guy who could show up when we agreed.
@@masternobody1896 I agree, no Car is perfect but, Toyota has better service and longer warranty than Honda. Toyota offers 5yrs warranty full coverage (vs Honda's 3yrs) and can be extended up to 10 years. Toyota is twice the size of Honda globally and can make cars cheaper than Honda due to the size advantage and therefore offer better interior and finish at the similar competitive price.
When I was in high school my parents bought a brand new 95 Accord. They passed it on to me and I drove it for years until recently. My son now drives it. It's got 395,000 miles on it. Surprisingly it still drives really well.
My 1992 Toyota Corolla still going strong with 207,000 miles on it. Bought it for $300 three years ago. Repairs have included water pump, timing belt, starter, radiator replacement, both CV axles, battery, put in a new windshield, new brake pads. Purrs like a kitten and handles great! Probably the last car I will own at my age.
Shame on Toyota then!! My brother still drives my '98 Civic hatchback that I sold him at 176.000 miles 13 years ago in 2010! And has not needed any of those things you mentioned replacing except for the timing belt!!
Same here. Some punk kids tried to steal my car in a parking lot, police told me they stopped because they did not know how to drive a manual transmission!
I totally agree. I have a 1999 and 2000 Civic 200,000 on one and 265,000 on the other. I have a 2008 Rav4 175,000 on it. These are miles not km. All run very good.
Until I started watching Scotty I’d never owned a Toyota (had a ‘93 Accord and a 2014 CRV….both superb cars). But now I have two Toyotas, one a wonderful old 2007 Scion tC with 195,000 miles on it, that is a little rocket, and the other is a 2022 Corolla Cross that is just magnificent, but underpowered and with a somewhat clunky CVT transmission. I would never buy a car with GDI fuel injection and since the Corolla cross has both GDI and MPI, no intake valve problems are anticipated. I’ve always loved GM cars, hated Chryslers, and tolerated Fords, but now would never own anything in the future but a Toyota or a Honda……simply the best cars made. Dr. K.
One American car that could be on the list is the Ford Crown Vic/Mercury Grand Marquis/Lincoln Town Car. They aren't particularly sophisticated but they are built like tanks and can last a very long time if you just do regular maintenance.
Honda 08 has had many problems with burning oil; this includes some 09. They even offered to replace the engine, but if you buy a used one, the warranty is ended. Ask me how I know........:(
Been driving a 2000 5spd Honda Accord as a secondary vehicle for over 8 years now with no issues, just regular maintenance. Toyota and Honda I would say are the top reliable vehicles, including their luxury classes, Lexus and Acura.
It's good. I also drove a Bimmer 5 speed. Every 100k km you have to change the clutch plates but that's trivial compared to swapping out an automatic transmission. Something like less than 15% of people know how to drive a manual however, so resale value is impacted.
Got a 2002 acura tl with a 5spd auto/"manual" and the only issue is the transmission, I rip it like crazy and just need general maintenance, never a big job and at over 188k miles😂
@@jacobamroyan5807 man i really want a tl for that v6 torque but ive heard lots of bad things about the auto trannys failing. is it really that bad? i just dont want to deal with a tranny replacement because of the previous owner(s) that didnt get them replaced when it became a big problem.
2003 Honda Accord hit 240k and totaled it last week in an accident :( my baby is gone:( bought a 2013 civic lx and I love it 🥰 but I miss my accord and I’m paying the price I’d have paid for it new, and it has 100k on it ugh.
Not including fleet sales because Honda doesn't sell to rental fleets the ACCORD is the best selling sedan in America for a very long time. Toyota sells to rental fleets and that's how they beat Honda.
Honda absolutely sells to rental and fleet. I’ve worked for Honda for 25 years, and it was the Taurus that made that claim. (Because FORD counted every sedan retailed and wholesaled.) It’s really not close, Toyota offers as many trucks as Honda does cars. It’s not even apples and oranges, Toyota has smoked the midsize sedan market until Hyundai got their act together.
I’d take a Civic over a Corolla too. But Your stats on where Toyota’s are built are just wrong dude. The most American car on the road, via PARTS and ASSEMBLY is the Toyota Camry. And it has been for a longtime. And let your interference motor break a timing chain and say bye bye to your valves and rods. The Yota you just replace the timing belt/water pump and belt tensioner and your done. Bout $200 in parts. Not sure where your getting your facts
I agree Scotty! My 2020 Civic Sport Sedan has the K20C2 2.0L naturally aspirated port injected engine and also a 6 speed manual transmission. NA engine + 6MT is the way to go for reliability 👍🏻
@Le-WiiSs I already have a fast 667whp V8 6MT weekend/track car. My Civic is my daily driver and I wanted something reliable and practical. The 2.0 K20 NA motor definitely is not fast, but it’s a bulletproof reliable engine that’s actually quite eager to rev to high rpm’s, and suprisingly fun to drive when paired to a manual transmission. I’ve driven the 2.0 with the CVT and it was HORRIBLE, a completely different driving experience.
i have 2021 civic lx which is 2.0 ltre with the variable trans and i think may be the last year for key ignition. had the 2019 sport hatvh but figured on taking advantage of the need for used cars. it was the pearl grey and a beaut but the sounder engine made me switch.
2004 Sienna, 2005 Camry, 2008 Accord, 2014 Accord, 2014 Mazda 6. All run like new. I change oil and do regular maintenance and these 3 car makers are all I need.
I have a 2010 accord too that I bought in 2017. It burns oil, and I'm having catalytic converter issues. I changed it in 2019, two years later, it's faulty again. Do you have same issue?
Scotty forgets 1 thing. Mazda was Ford side project. Pretty much neglected and handed scraps. But now Mazda no longer has Ford to listen to. So the quality has gone up some
You're the man Scotty I've been my own mechanic and car dealer I have much respect for you you are a very honest mechanic that helped so many people you even help me you're very knowledgeable looking forward to your next video
Every time Scotty mentions the crappy Chrysler, it hurts: I have a 2012 Chrysler 200S hardtop convertible. It's been fun to drive, but maintenance is killing me; I've had to replace the battery, alternator, main computer, and now it looks like I'll have to do the front end, the bushings in the front control arms are shot & one of my engine mounts is broken. Latest quote is $1800 to get that done. I wish I still had my 1952 VW bug, that engine I could take apart & put back together blindfolded, and the suspension & 4 speed manual were fantastic. It had good A/C too: the floor panels were all rusted out & I got plenty of ventilation! That car cost me $140 in 1971, yes that's all, and I drove it over 7500 miles criscrossing the USA; one tire blowout & one wheel bearing was all that went wrong. I need a time machine, sigh. I liked the world better back then too!
In Europe we have it as the Accord and yes,it looks really nice with those sharp lines,always liked it.Almost bought one but ended up with an 8th gen Civic sedan because I dont need that big of a car,I love this too
I’ve had Honda, Mazda, Nissan & Toyota cars but one of the best was my 1984 fully imported Camry, fuel injection, electric everything. Had it about 2 years never gave me any problems. Did my own servicing only changed rear brake light globe and only knew globe was gone because red light came up on the dash, didn’t know what this red warning light was until I looked it up in the manual. Why don’t cars of today do that🤦🏻♀️
The torque converter in my 2011 CR-V with 200,000Km was shuttering. I flushed the transmission then ran it through the gears for a day around town and it hasn’t done it since. That was 3 years ago and I drive the heck out of this thing
Agreed. I had been sleeping on Mazda and only had Honda or Toyota. Took a chance on a 2014 Mazda 6 for my wife. I gotta say I'm impressed! Could use another 15 horsepower but the handling is outstanding! Out on a winding, road is where it really gets fun. Runs like the day we bought it 4 years ago.
I agree a manual transmission is way more reliable. I personally prefer a stick shift in smaller cars like the civic….I grew up driving them and feel more in control as well. I’m in the process of looking for my teen daughters first car and I’m highly suggesting a manual transmission. I feel one should learn to drive on a manual transmission……it makes you pay more attention while driving too!
Thank you Scotty. A very informative video. You have confirmed my view of the excellence of Honda engineering. I live in Australia in the Blue Mountains to the west of Sydney. I bought a 2002 Honda V6L in 2007 with 22,000 klms on the clock. It has now done 228,000 klms and has given reliable, trouble free motoring over the last 15 years with many trips to Brisbane and Melbourne. It still drives like new. The Honda V6 V-Tech engine is superb, quiet and powerful.
Have a 2007 Chevy Malibu. While it doesn’t have the horsepower it used to years ago, it’s driving well. About one major repair a year since 2022. Only thing I’ve gotten fixed is: cadaltic converter, maintenance repairs, water pump and soon will need new suspension. Transmission runs great. If you want a long lasting car I think you should consider a Malibu
@@LensOfWisdom I meant "K" in thousands of miles. I thought that was obvious. My mistake. So, if you meant kilometers, than I clearly have more than you.
I had a 2005 2 door Civic 5 sp manual. Three years ago I bought a 2005 matrix 5 sp manual, same color as your wife's, it almost got 300000 Km's on it. I've hardly spent a cent on it other than oil changes. About a month ago I bought a 2022 Corolla hatchback 6 sp manual in blue flame I love the color. Honda and Toyota are both the best auto makers in my opinion, I like the Matrix and Corolla better because I find the seats are higher, in the Civic it's like you're sitting on the ground. But that's just my opinion, everybody has one lol. Awesome video's I've learned a lot from them, keep them coming 👍
While I'm not sure about their newer vehicles, pre-1999 Honda drivetrain reliability is off-the-charts incredible. I bought a used 1993 Civic DX in 1995 for $7000. It had 8,000 miles on it. I proceeded to drive it for 27 years before finally giving it away to an acquaintance going through financially hard times this year, who's spouse is going suffering from a terminal disease. In all of that time, I spent roughly $4,000 in repairs/maintenance on it, doing most of them myself. While the rust on the vehicle is significant (thank you, northern winters/salt) it still runs beautifully (or at least still did, when I last saw it two weeks ago), and was averaging 38 mpg as recently as last year when I stopped keeping track of the mileage via Fuelly.
I live inNH, my cars dont have rust. And ones my wifes q4 escape titanium. And my 5 SPD 0 7 civic SI., ,I clean and detail them spring summer and fall. But in the winter I go to a brushless car wash, to keep the saltoff , andi also do the underbody wash, I've always done that. The won't rust if you don't leave the salt on them
I agree I believe ur lucky if a new car lasts the duration of the loan.i won't buy a car newer than 2001 & only Toyota or Honda or Mazda Protégé nothing else
@@sclark1948 Like most older Toyota engines the 1.8L in the Mazda Protégé was a non interference engine so if the belt jumps or breaks u can tow it home or shop slap another timing belt & ur good.
Mazda seems to be getting better. I’d like to Scotty check out a Mazda3, 6, or CX-5 from the most recent generations. You’d think the SkyActive engines and the tried and true 6 speed automatic transmission (no longer from Ford) would be pretty reliable.
Things are not as they seem. 98% of kids toy Mazdas end up in the toilet as not worth repair within 12 years. Don’t believe me,just look around for older models while you’re on the road. Advertising dollars don’t equal lastability. 💸🚽
My grandma bought a 1992 Honda Accord brand new and we were all amazed at how efficient and well built it was. We knew that American car makers were in big trouble. A 1990 Camry was my first car and that thing was a tank. I wrecked it twice and the engine and drive train were fine. Even the original paint didnt rust in my northern climate. Had shade tree mechanics patch and replace the body parts. Got over 250k before the transmission started slipping, but no one in my family knew about changing trans fluid back then, so it was probably my fault for the trans dying.
'89 Civic Si, '94 Integra, and a '99 Accord were three of the best cars I have owned. I drove them all hard to over 400,000km and they went on to live many more after I sold them
You are right, I have a 1999 Accord with transmission rebuild in 2013 and again in 2017. Recently, I had to fix the A/C. The most expensive is transmission and A/C and it has 140K on it.
I have a 2004 Honda Accord EXL V6. Runs great only 110000 miles. Also 2015 Tacoma with 48000 miles. Both great. Only problem with the Tacoma was a mouse chewed wires to the engine knock sensor so had to get that fixed.
My first car was a 1973 Toyota Corolla with the 1600CC engine, They screwed me over by changing the carb from mechanical to electrical mid production year in 73. I could never find a replacement for my mechanical one. Eventually the automatic transmission started having problems, but it was a great little car when I was 16 in 99.
I leased a civic in 2019. The lease is up next month. I went to the local lot and saw other civics with twice the milage for more than mine sold for new. This market is crazy. I. Going to buy out my lease and drive the civic for about 6 more years
Toyota teaming with Mazda has made Mazda a better vehicle especially the CX-5. Previously Mazda and Ford made terrible progress and cars. Ford still hasn’t learned anything
Love my 2017 Honda Fit with less than 50k miles I bought from kinfolk a couple months ago for 10K dollars! Also have a 2015 Honda CRV with 130K miles and love it too. The 2012 CRV we had had problems with battery charging and also transmission shuddering!!
Had a 2002 Accord EXL for 17 yrs until it got written off. Great car and put 380,000km on it Just picked up a 2001, EX with 220,000km. Other than a hard shift from 1-2, which I hope a solenoid replacement and 3x oil change can solve, other wise car is in gear shape and doesn't burn oil. Love the huge trunk and interior space...beats the wife's 2016 Audi Q5 for space and low cost in parts.
Am I the only one who thinks that the ca. 2019 Toyota Camry has one of the ugliest faces of any car? The current Civic is so innocuous and forgettable as to be the 50% gray of cars, but the Camry, to me, is just hideous.
No! You are not alone. Most Toyota vehicles are hideous and frumpy looking. Hondas look better but they seem to be running out of design ideas because the new Civic looks outdated and forgettable. If Nissan gets their reliability in order (which they have slightly improved on) and Mazda gets their marketing and presence up it's over for Toyota and Honda bcuz Nissan and Mazda are killing it with some beautiful cars with great tech.
HI Scotty, I asked your opinion on a wrong eng, the 2.4 on a 2023. The correct eng we seek your opinion on is the 2.7L 4cyl in 2023 on the Tacoma. It's said to be bulletproof and been out since 2003, so 20years now. We deeply appreciate YOUR opinion. Thank you.
My wife's Honda Fit has been much more reliable than my Toyota Corolla. We got them both new in 2010 and still have them. My Corolla has half the mileage of her Honda.
As far as current generation Toyota Camry is definitely the way to go. Standard 8 speed auto and natural aspirated engines and the styling is great on the outside !
Had a customer with a 2013 CR-V (last year of true automatic transmission) and it had 765,000 miles on the original "juddering" transmission. They. Just. Don't. Break.
Scotty is preaching to the choir. In 2019 I sold my 2016 F-150 5.0 and bought a 2016 Civic LX with 19k miles for $12k cash. I put an upgraded Pioneer Apple Carplay head unit in and upgraded the wheels. I love the 2.0 naturally aspirated motor. I drive 90% highway miles and just turned 97,000. I change the oil every 10k with full synthetic oil. No problems at all. At 80k I drained and filled the CVT fluid and coolant. At 90k I replaced the plugs, coils, PCV valve and pads and rotors. Still runs like day 1. The interior is still at 90%. I plan to run this thing to at least 500k then buy another year to two year old Civic.
I like your informative videos Scotty. I own 2004 Toyota RAV4 5 speed still returning the favor after 307k miles. Regular oil changes and scheduled maintenance.
Took my manual shift car to Pep Boys. Service manager came in snickering because he had to drive it into the service bay because the mechanic didn't know how.
I don't like CVTs but the Corolla feels better than most. It uses a geared first gear lol so off the line and shifting into 'second' (cvt range) is lot more convincing/satisfying and much less squishy than many cvts that feel like their slipping more than pulling
The Civic can once again be bought with the 6-speed and N/A engine, though I believe it has to the the hatchback (correct me if I’m wrong). The sedan no longer has the 6-speed.
You’re absolutely correct. I have a 2020 Civic Sport Sedan 6MT. The 2020 model year was the last year to get the manual in the sedan with the 2.0 engine. You can get the 11th gen with 2.0 + manual but hatchback only as you said 👍🏻
@@spoton3278 Pretty sure if anyone can do a turbo right it would be Toyota and if there's a problem they'll issue a TSB and take care of it under warranty.
Just sold my 2002 Accord after 45k miles that I put on it, and I sold it for a profit extremely satisfied with Honda i sold it at 198k miles absolutely no problem
Mazda really nailed it with the more recent CX-5, especially with turbo. Drives better than all the other mainstream SUV's. The CRV does have better mpg, the bigger dealer network and parts availability.
@@paulseary7041 : Just imagine a camry with a 1.8 Liter motor in it, it can happen. They already did it with the Accord, put in a engine below 2.0L in it, and for long time the Accord had 2.4L in it, as well as the V6 engines too.
He is not trashing them. He never said f mexico. He just said he rather buy texas made toyotas for example rather than mexican.. he also prefers japan made over texas made.. so what? He is trashing america ? Think about what you are saying. Its all about peace of mind.. for example if your mother had a remedy as you grew up for a cold & you stuck with it, why would you take advil? Sometimes the placebo effect works wonders.. why knock someone for speakin his mind? One love tho!
Definitely the 6th generation Honda 03 to 07. Everyone that I talked for a test-drive had problems with the transmission slamming into gear harder then they should be. Then I realized aa3205 Honda accords head-high problems with their transmissions. Then the mysterious years of 7 Gen 06 and 07 7th generation. Eyeball in 07 Honda Accord V6 244 horsepower I no problems. Best car ever just not a fan of the styling.
2004 Toyota Corolla bought at 69,000 miles on it. Has over 320,000miles on it the odometer stopped at 299,999. Hit 5 deer looks rough but runs good, A/c still works. I Delivery pizza in it...lol
One of the reasons I have held onto my 2007 Honda Accord V6 is because it is the last Honda accord V6 that you can get the manual transmission. I have now 249,312 miles on it and it just keeps going and going. I have replace the clutch twice but that’s it.
You would have to go to an Accord Coupe to get a later 6-6 combo, but the 2006-07 6-6 sedans are unicorns and becoming valuable right now. The other option would be 2004-08 Acura TL with 6-6. Accords with the k24 4-cyl and 5-speed manual are also becoming rare and desirable.

Not including fleet sales because Honda doesn't sell to rental fleets the ACCORD is the best selling sedan in America for a very long time. Toyota sells to rental fleets and that's how they beat Honda.
Dont know were you are from but were i live honda does sell to rental fleet they rent alot of accord and hrv by me
@@Maikytransport guess it depends on the area IDK
Honda absolutely sells to rental and fleet. I’ve worked for Honda for 25 years, and it was the Taurus that made that claim. (Because FORD counted every sedan retailed and wholesaled.) It’s really not close, Toyota offers as many trucks as Honda does cars. It’s not even apples and oranges, Toyota has smoked the midsize sedan market until Hyundai got their act together.
I’d take a Civic over a Corolla too. But Your stats on where Toyota’s are built are just wrong dude. The most American car on the road, via PARTS and ASSEMBLY is the Toyota Camry. And it has been for a longtime. And let your interference motor break a timing chain and say bye bye to your valves and rods. The Yota you just replace the timing belt/water pump and belt tensioner and your done. Bout $200 in parts. Not sure where your getting your facts
@@joehelvey5794 have you ever known anyone to have broken a timing chain, because I haven’t, timing belts I know PLENTY
I agree Scotty! My 2020 Civic Sport Sedan has the K20C2 2.0L naturally aspirated port injected engine and also a 6 speed manual transmission. NA engine + 6MT is the way to go for reliability 👍🏻

@@NicotineRosberg that is subjective
@Le-WiiSs I already have a fast 667whp V8 6MT weekend/track car. My Civic is my daily driver and I wanted something reliable and practical.
The 2.0 K20 NA motor definitely is not fast, but it’s a bulletproof reliable engine that’s actually quite eager to rev to high rpm’s, and suprisingly fun to drive when paired to a manual transmission.
I’ve driven the 2.0 with the CVT and it was HORRIBLE, a completely different driving experience.
i have 2021 civic lx which is 2.0 ltre with the variable trans and i think may be the last year for key ignition. had the 2019 sport hatvh but figured on taking advantage of the need for used cars. it was the pearl grey and a beaut but the sounder engine made me switch.

Every time Scotty mentions the crappy Chrysler, it hurts: I have a 2012 Chrysler 200S hardtop convertible. It's been fun to drive, but maintenance is killing me; I've had to replace the battery, alternator, main computer, and now it looks like I'll have to do the front end, the bushings in the front control arms are shot & one of my engine mounts is broken. Latest quote is $1800 to get that done. I wish I still had my 1952 VW bug, that engine I could take apart & put back together blindfolded, and the suspension & 4 speed manual were fantastic. It had good A/C too: the floor panels were all rusted out & I got plenty of ventilation! That car cost me $140 in 1971, yes that's all, and I drove it over 7500 miles criscrossing the USA; one tire blowout & one wheel bearing was all that went wrong. I need a time machine, sigh. I liked the world better back then too!
My nostalgia car is the 67 falcon I drove in the mid 70s. I dropped the transmission to my chest to replace the clutch.
Not as old as you guys but I can relate ...
$1,800 for control arms and a engine mount replacement? 😲 Holy cow why so much?!
I always liked the styling of the 7th gen Honda Accord (And third Gen Acura TL). I think they're the best versions ever

Did my own servicing only changed rear brake light globe and only knew globe was gone because red light came up on the dash, didn’t know what this red warning light was until I looked it up in the manual. Why don’t cars of today do that🤦🏻♀️
Scotty, your legendary Celica will reach a tremendous amount of money in auction.
The torque converter in my 2011 CR-V with 200,000Km was shuttering. I flushed the transmission then ran it through the gears for a day around town and it hasn’t done it since. That was 3 years ago and I drive the heck out of this thing
Disagree on with Mazda. They have upped their game on quality even before the JV with Toyota.
I had a '96 Protege . . . probably the best car I've ever owned. Drove it for 16 years, and sold it only because my family didn't like it.
Agreed. I had been sleeping on Mazda and only had Honda or Toyota. Took a chance on a 2014 Mazda 6 for my wife. I gotta say I'm impressed! Could use another 15 horsepower but the handling is outstanding! Out on a winding, road is where it really gets fun. Runs like the day we bought it 4 years ago.
I had a 2001 Honda Civic Manual ,I put 200k on it never give me any problem and I never burned the clutch.. Man that civic was unstoppable..
I agree a manual transmission is way more reliable. I personally prefer a stick shift in smaller cars like the civic….I grew up driving them and feel more in control as well. I’m in the process of looking for my teen daughters first car and I’m highly suggesting a manual transmission. I feel one should learn to drive on a manual transmission……it makes you pay more attention while driving too!
I never owned a Toyota in my life. In Honda department I owned two Accords, a 93 and a V6 2001, and both were amazing
I saw an Accord this morning, probably a mid 2000s model, it stood out by how good it looked. It was still like new. Honda’s definitely last.
My 04 Honda Accord is the best and will take me another 10 years or more. I like vintage.

Have a 2007 Chevy Malibu. While it doesn’t have the horsepower it used to years ago, it’s driving well. About one major repair a year since 2022. Only thing I’ve gotten fixed is: cadaltic converter, maintenance repairs, water pump and soon will need new suspension. Transmission runs great.

I've hardly spent a cent on it other than oil changes. About a month ago I bought a 2022 Corolla hatchback 6 sp manual in blue flame I love the color. Honda and Toyota are both the best auto makers in my opinion, I like the Matrix and Corolla better because I find the seats are higher, in the Civic it's like you're sitting on the ground. But that's just my opinion, everybody has one lol. Awesome video's I've learned a lot from them, keep them coming 👍
While I'm not sure about their newer vehicles, pre-1999 Honda drivetrain reliability is off-the-charts incredible. I bought a used 1993 Civic DX in 1995 for $7000. It had 8,000 miles on it. I proceeded to drive it for 27 years before finally giving it away to an acquaintance going through financially hard times this year, who's spouse is going suffering from a terminal disease. In all of that time, I spent roughly $4,000 in repairs/maintenance on it, doing most of them myself.
While the rust on the vehicle is significant (thank you, northern winters/salt) it still runs beautifully (or at least still did, when I last saw it two weeks ago), and was averaging 38 mpg as recently as last year when I stopped keeping track of the mileage via Fuelly.
I live inNH, my cars dont have rust. And ones my wifes q4 escape titanium. And my 5 SPD 0 7 civic SI., ,I clean and detail them spring summer and fall. But in the winter I go to a brushless car wash, to keep the saltoff , andi also do the underbody wash, I've always done that. The won't rust if you don't leave the salt on them
Still amazing powertrains to this day!

Mazda seems to be getting better. I’d like to Scotty check out a Mazda3, 6, or CX-5 from the most recent generations. You’d think the SkyActive engines and the tried and true 6 speed automatic transmission (no longer from Ford) would be pretty reliable.
I hear Mazda stopped including the cylinder deactivation in most of their vehicles (save certain trim levels), so the company cares about reliability.
Things are not as they seem. 98% of kids toy Mazdas end up in the toilet as not worth repair within 12 years. Don’t believe me,just look around for older models while you’re on the road. Advertising dollars don’t equal lastability. 💸🚽
Mazdas have been excellent since they split with Ford a decade ago. They have been 100% Mazda for the past several years.

😃I got a Honda Civic for my wife. It’s the best trade, I have ever made! 👍
My grandma bought a 1992 Honda Accord brand new and we were all amazed at how efficient and well built it was. We knew that American car makers were in big trouble. A 1990 Camry was my first car and that thing was a tank. I wrecked it twice and the engine and drive train were fine. Even the original paint didnt rust in my northern climate. Had shade tree mechanics patch and replace the body parts. Got over 250k before the transmission started slipping, but no one in my family knew about changing trans fluid back then, so it was probably my fault for the trans dying.
'89 Civic Si, '94 Integra, and a '99 Accord were three of the best cars I have owned. I drove them all hard to over 400,000km and they went on to live many more after I sold them
The '89 civic si still has manual steering for excellent road feel. Those were the days...
You are right, I have a 1999 Accord with transmission rebuild in 2013 and again in 2017. Recently, I had to fix the A/C. The most expensive is transmission and A/C and it has 140K on it.

Just picked up a 2001, EX with 220,000km. Other than a hard shift from 1-2, which I hope a solenoid replacement and 3x oil change can solve, other wise car is in gear shape and doesn't burn oil. Love the huge trunk and interior space...beats the wife's 2016 Audi Q5 for space and low cost in parts.
Am I the only one who thinks that the ca. 2019 Toyota Camry has one of the ugliest faces of any car? The current Civic is so innocuous and forgettable as to be the 50% gray of cars, but the Camry, to me, is just hideous.
No! You are not alone. Most Toyota vehicles are hideous and frumpy looking. Hondas look better but they seem to be running out of design ideas because the new Civic looks outdated and forgettable. If Nissan gets their reliability in order (which they have slightly improved on) and Mazda gets their marketing and presence up it's over for Toyota and Honda bcuz Nissan and Mazda are killing it with some beautiful cars with great tech.

I put an upgraded Pioneer Apple Carplay head unit in and upgraded the wheels. I love the 2.0 naturally aspirated motor. I drive 90% highway miles and just turned 97,000. I change the oil every 10k with full synthetic oil. No problems at all. At 80k I drained and filled the CVT fluid and coolant. At 90k I replaced the plugs, coils, PCV valve and pads and rotors.

I don't like CVTs but the Corolla feels better than most. It uses a geared first gear lol so off the line and shifting into 'second' (cvt range) is lot more convincing/satisfying and much less squishy than many cvts that feel like their slipping more than pulling
The Civic can once again be bought with the 6-speed and N/A engine, though I believe it has to the the hatchback (correct me if I’m wrong). The sedan no longer has the 6-speed.
You’re absolutely correct. I have a 2020 Civic Sport Sedan 6MT. The 2020 model year was the last year to get the manual in the sedan with the 2.0 engine. You can get the 11th gen with 2.0 + manual but hatchback only as you said 👍🏻
