BMW better than Toyota? Sad about the BM resale values !!
Do you have an link for your aftermarket front and rear lights on your wife’s matrix?
@@geoffphillips5872 I can't ever imagine BMW being better. I had nothing but problems
BMW is a good car manufacturer, if you are going to buy an inline 6 that is the one to take. They don't put BMW engines in McLaren F1 for no reason.
Scotty, none is better than other. All companies now are crappy with a lot of breaking parts, even Toyotas. The years that we use to keep a car for decades belong to the past!!
I'm still running my 04 RAV4, so now 19 years old, 110,000 miles, just went through (UK) M.O.T - straight through! Brilliant car.
I live in Alaska, family ran a business on the top of a mountain, so yes, I kinda needed 4 wheel drive. I had a 1996 RAV4. Absolute BEST car I've ever owned for truly horrific winter driving conditions. I sold it to a relative when second baby came along, and she managed to total it, so it never had the chance to make it into the 100,000's of miles. I bought the thing sight unseen, my husband had told me that I could get whatever car I wanted as long as it was a Toyota. When I went to pick it up, I thought it looked like a car that George Jetson would have driven, but Wow, weird as it looked, it was an awesome car.
I have an 09 v6 AWD with 160k, I love it. My wife and I drove it about 3k miles round trip to Colorado a couple weeks ago for vacation, sleeping in the back along the way. I ended up pulling a Jeep wrangler out of a ditch on a snowy mountain road while we were there, and an Altima lol. Awesome cars
Scotty hello from Buffalo! I have a 2012 Rav4 limited with the V6 and I love it!
86,000 going strong. Oh boy does it have pick up! I don't get on it hard but when you need power it's there and then some. Love the channel Go Sabres!
That is definitely the cleanest 350,000 mile car of all time
Got a 2007 rav4 with 475k and looks better than this one believe it or not.
@@basel6829not
@@basel6829 😯😮😮😮😯
@@basel6829 really. I 100% believe a RAV4 having 475K miles but it being mint condition? How is that possible if it’s travelled a distance around planet earth’s circumference 19 times and it’s still in mint condition. What did you do to prevent the drivers seat from wearing out, to prevent the exterior & interior from looking worn out even after all this mileage with tens & thousands of times getting in & out of the car in the last 16 years. Did you have seat covers on it from day one? Waxing it whenever it was on a break from being driven? Give us your tips what you did to keep a car from aging with the mileage?
@@Blakecryderman7244 for the seats I used seat covers and I’m not very heavy set and I pay attention how I get off the seat if that makes sense. Always garaged and waxed and always park away from people to prevent scratches and dents. Lots of highway miles. Always change my oil every 7k with full synthetic from Costco. All maintenance done on time. I detailed the car every 2 months and no kids helped a lot as well. Just ended up selling it 6,800 to my neighbor !
I could watch Scotty test drive cars on a 12 hour loop. He says almost the same things every time and I still enjoy it!!
12 Scotty test drives playing at the same time for 12 hours straight.. someone needs to make this happen
📞 📞 👆
Hey Scotty! I have a 2011 RAV4 Base 2.5 4 cyl. Really like it. Got 204,800 miles 3rd owner. Have had it year and half. Like to know more about it so I listen to you and your videos.
My 2016 Rav4 is a 4-banger, but I'm happy with it. Best vehicle I've ever bought since my 2000 Avalon.
I had 2011 RAV4 V6 here in South Central Texas, it was SCARY FAST acceleration! Loved that car…but a freak hailstorm in 2021 destroyed it (golfball/tennis ball size hail), GEICO gave me $2000 more than I paid for it, bought 2014 Accord. Accord also great car but lots tamer, miss my RAV4!!
I had the last year of this body style, a 2012 Rav4 AWD with the 4-cylinder engine. Loved it! Practical and reliable -- and it was amazing how much fit in the back with the seats down! Loved that the spare tire was on the back and I kind of liked that the door opened sideways. I got a great deal on it used since it was a somewhat ugly khaki/brown color.
any issues with the 2.5L?
YO! You gonna make me lose my supper flippin' that camera round!!! lol
Our ‘09 , V6, AWD RAV4 Sport had 243k miles when I sold it last year. It was a great car, and a hoot to drive! My headlights didn’t hold up nearly as well as the one you tested here. The only quirk was that the CD changer (6 CDs!!,) was balky in cold weather. …. Oh, and that torque steer!!!! 😁
Oh, our RAV4, with the “ Toyota tow-prep package “ and Toyota receiver hitch, was rated for towing 3,500 pounds!
Scotty gets to the point, other so called "mechanics" in TH-cam spend 20 minutes to get to the point 👌
My sister just got the RAV4 Prime. Love it. More power. Gorgeous red and black
When I bought my Mitsubishi Pajero (long version) in 2012, I read car magazines reviews of it and many argued that it was "old technology" as if that was a negative factor. To me, that was an advantage. I need a reliable car was proven and tested technology and it wasn't that far off neither. It did have "antiskid" and automatic powerdistribution between the wheels in fourwheeldrive - if you want that. After ten years and 200+k km it really looks well and the corrosion is a small problem, because I treat it well. I live in Norway and here studded tires and fourwheel drive is a good thing in the winter.I also use it when towing my caravan in the summer because the manual recommends it, but I am not sure why. Just tought that if I ever had a warranty issue, it's good to have followed the instructions in the manual. When the car was new, I had it tectylized, afterwards it has just been polished by pro's twice a year and during winter washed every 1-2 weeks including underneath to clean away roadsalt. That's it. Parts are usually massive and expensive, but they come with a 3-year warranty, but lasts longer. Got a diesel engineheater to reduce wear and tear during winter, plus getting the comforts of a warm car and easy start plus reduced fuel consumption, but having said that, I will have to drive for another ten years before I have saved the cost of installing it.
It's so good to hear somebody with a practical approach to carfinance. Neither the Raw4 was/is a cheap car, but lasts forever, so cost pr, year is favourable. Got my budget for these kind of things and it holds so far. When I bought it I also asked for offer oon future services and got it. They said that it could only apply to parts and I fully understand that, pay the mechanic well, so they do a best possible job and you attract the best ones. Every now and then additional work has to be done on top of the regular service and I then negotiate a "package"-price. I see then that they also give me a de facto discount on work costs (as they are a major part of the bill too keep the offer, by estimating less time for jobs than it takes. You can't change brakepads in 12 minutes, 0.2 hrs :).
The thing is to make the mechanics understand that the car is your legs and should be treated with the same care and say it with a smile and politeness. I also think it helps that I come back year after year if I can to the same place (I may be travelling when servicetime is due, but with some planning I can often make it work, so that I see the same mechanics at most service intervals. Cars is not only about specifications and the price, it's about how you maintain and keep them at predictable costs too.
Ive got a 2014 rav awd 4cyl and it's awesome! I've got 228000 miles on it and it runs awesome but I've kept up w all the maintenance. The lead service guy at dealership told me don't sell it - it will go forever! Love mine
Wait, are you serious??? Are there are loud noises or groaning noises when driving etc? So it's fine???
I have a 2003 Toyota Highlander with 185,000 miles ...still runs great ..original engine transmission! Love Toyota ❤️
200K is 100K to a Toyota. It's just now broken in.
I’m keeping my 2002 Envoy for the same reason. It just keeps on working. I live in Ontario, and for going skiing you can’t beat a full frame 4X4.😊
My dad had v6 rav4, and that thing was able to pull a boat bigger than the car itself, although that is not advisable. The thing just wouldn’t fail.
Car and Driver called the v6 rav4 the sledgehammer for it's horsepower
My dad had an 08 Highlander which is basically a RAV4 just a little nicer and that always looked brand new all the way up to when he sold it. My cousin had a car just like the one in this video and they were amazing vehicles.
I still tow a boat bigger than RAV4 60k towing miles
That's true... Toyota chocked Rav4 V6 so that they can sell Highlander.
@@stanleysourelis5104 It flat out moves! It will run 0-60 in about the same as the Newer Subaru WRX turbo!
2:23 That cat just kills me every time. 🤣🤣🤣
I have 3 Toyotas, they have been in all weather conditions all over the country doing amazing. My prius is a beast 166k miles running great.
Scotty, the line you said“ technology gambling with us as Guinea pigs” IS A CLASSIC . Thanks, gonna use it when the statement can apt.( credits given to SK of course!)
i remember a snow storm we had where the roads were heavy with snow. i saw a Bronco with about four or five guys in it stuck in the middle of the road. Just to be a wise guy, I drove around them in the deepest snow in my Rav.4 I had no problem in it.
They are good in the snow for sure.
Ha Ha Ha 😆😜😜
Hogwash !
Fact, and i put 400,000 miles on it from new. It still ran great and had no rust when I traded it. They're great in the snow but underpowered for serious off road sport.
I have a 2007 V6 Limited with 154k miles and it is running great. V6 has 270hp and it is awesome sensation on acceleration. I love it
I had a 1994 Volvo 740 turbo 4 cylinder. A freaking beast! Easy to work on, ran forever. Had 275,000 on it. Sold it in 2012. The buyer sold it in 2019 and it still running. Also had a 2003 BMW X-5. Loved the BMW X5 but tranny failed at 150,000. Toyotas generally outlast most American made vehicles. Only owned one Toyota, 83 Tercel which was a great little car.
Hi Scotty, i am driving it here in Pakistan since 2 years , I got a stock piece from Portugal embassy auction, my RAV is with 2.4 N Aspirated is still amazing . I enjoy it a-lot.
Scotty your hysterical but I love you!! I’ve learned so much from you! God bless you!!
📞 📞 👆
Gives me a lot of hope for my 04 Sequoia, it only has 168,000 miles, should get a lot more
Break in just began.
My grandfather, who died in his late eighties, was a small rancher. He took care of a herd of cattle on lease pastures. He only owned but one 4WD vehicle, a CJ7. His mainstay was Chevy pickups, all of which were rear wheel drive. He drove in every type of terrain to be found in Harris County which also meant negotiating very deep mud. So, yes, Scotty is right about 4WD. It is generally unnecessary save under very, very special circumstances.
Wow! 350,000 miles and no misfires! That's impressive. I have a Volkswagen Beetle 2012 and it had a misfire at 10 years old and 77,000 miles. Easy replacement, but those 350,000 with no misfires is impressive!
No, I'm not changing my Beetle A5. I love it and you can't talk me out of it. There's no car that has the style, performance, and comfort that The Beetle offers.
679,000 on my 2012 Hyundai Elantra. Original engine. Tranny went out at 612,000
Yes love spending time with in moneypit and hassle life in ownership
@@amandeepbaa6978 wait what?
In Mexico we call the beetle a coffin on wheel’s. On a head on coalition You garante a coffin.
I love beetles
Haven’t watched your videos in awhile, but the missing tooth really completes the vibe.
Amen!! I live in NW Washington state and agree, 4WD is over rated unless you are crossing passes consistently in winter.
I own 1 since 2014
My dad owns 1 with 175000
My uncle went to Florida multiple times in 1 still own it
Fabulous car. No extra maintenance 👌
If Scotty really bought every vehicle he says in the header that he is buying he would have 298 cars already....all Toyota's!
More cars than Hoovie!
Never seen a Toyota 4x4 I didn't want
Or the Mazda 3
Quite often the header bears no relation to the video.
I was going to go look at a 2017 Rav4 platinum tomorrow because it has some nice features, but now I'm thinking maybe I should just hold on to my 2009 Rav4. It just flipped over to 100k. I've had two Toyota's go over 200k before selling, which is why I keep buying them.
Love my RAV4, thanks Scotty for the awesome recommendation. Mine is a 4cylinder 2018 with CD player 😆
📞 📞 👆
I have a 2012, love the tire on the back, giving me a ton of storage where the tire is on most SUVs. I have 97,000 miles on the car, and it runs really smooth! My Cadillac SRX was just totaled and will probable just drive this till it stops. Suggestions on keeping it like a "spring chicken"?
Ive got a 2011 rav4 limited. V6. Its super fast, all leather interior and have had zero problems, knock on wood. 230k miles. CHANGE ITS OIL ON TIME and youre good
2:23 video side note- My 2017 Ford Focus SE still came with a CD player that still works, although the car manufacturers do not make cars with CD players as much as they used to still remember that those who still make cars with CD players still exist to this day.
That would have Toyota’s 3.5 L V6. In V6 Camries, Lexuses, Venza, Highlander, etc. Heard nothing but good things!
I like your show. Lots of good independent info.
hey Scotty. I bought a 2004 rav 4 with 264k miles. I knew it needed work but this car is just indestructible.
in North Dakota you need 4wd. Ground clearance also comes in mighty handy.
We all knew it was going to be a Toyota 😅
Ha ha. I had a Toyota Camry for 20 years, and it was GREAT, so I understand where he's coming from.
@es e never saw any recent Hyundai or Ford outlast a Toyota. I fully agree that Toyota's are overpriced and not all Toyota's are great.
@es e Hyundai offers some great deals on there vehicles and it retains good trade in value where I'm from. Honestly Toyota needs a good competitor and consumers like us can benefit when they start lowering their prices to match the competition.
hyundai n kia good. giving toyota, honda, etc. a good run for their $$.
@@JPillay6684 toyotas are not overpriced considering you can go over 300,000 miles with the most basic maintenance. You get what you pay for
2001 Toyota 4runner sr5 the best suv I had 400,000 still running
They just keep going
Scotty's Celica is awesome....(And I'm Buying It!!)
I just bought a 2008 RAV4 and there was a recall on the paint and Toyota did a free paint job.
CD player? I remember 8 track player in cars😂
@user-yo. I remember cassette player in cars, too.
74' ford LTD 👍🙂
My 2010 V6 Rav is pretty awesome. 170k miles. I'm not giving it up anytime soon. It's still a beast!
What is the gas mileage like?
Thinking about getting this year for my mother with 80k should I do it ? Is it reliable I keep hearing different things !?
@@thomashaas5965 It gets nearly identical gas mileage to the 4 cylinder if you drive it the same. Reason being it doesn't need to work as hard to get you going or keep you going! Mine is a 2007 V6 4wd and cruises down the interstate at 70 mph at barely 2,000 rpms! I get about 24 mpg combined, but mostly highway.
I have a 2015 rav4 vxr, and it feels so good to know it's the best suv
📞 📞 👆📩..
Hi Scotty, can you make a video about the 2004 Mazda 3? I'm asking because I bought one four months ago and drives and feels great. Thanks ❤️
Oh , I don’t know.
I visited the English side of the family and my cousin owns a Fiat Panda 2016 with the 1.2 liter 4 banger.
It’s fuel efficient, has good power and is excellent in the snow. Granted their snow storms aren’t nearly as bad as over here.
It’s got roughly 200,000 km and he uses it as his daily driver. Swears it’s the most reliable car he’s ever had and he’s had a few.
We’re both in our sixties.
Great job on the video!
I love my ‘09 V6, 150,000 miles and it's more peppy than a lot of stuff on the road.
Again really great video Scotty thank you!
@Scotty Kilmer, You come to the Catskill Mountains and show me on the days we have 6" of snow on the road with these "Hills" that I only need FWD to go to work and back .
This is exceptionally well taken care of.
📞 📞 👆
We have two v6 models, driving wheels off em. Wife's stays in garage 70k miles on only mine is 120k half of it is towing a boat. Tires tires make a big difference, Michelin a/s gets me 29mpg highway
Awd system is rear bias when starting hard.
Oil changes in diff and viscous center is 20k miles trans fluid 30k miles runs great
I have a 2008 Toyota Yaris and it has 330,000 miles on it and it still runs great.
Why why should you get rid of your Toyota if it keeps going? Well said Scotty! I am still driving my 97Japan made Toyota Camry with only 205,000 miles on it. Haven't had a car payment in 25 years and I think I might just end up being the last person on the planet to convert to EV because my Toyota refuses to die😀
That's 563,000 KM... Shiet. That's amazing for even Toyotas. But not unheard of.
I rode in a RAV4 Uber recently. They’re much larger than they used to be. Very roomy in the back seat. And they’re the #1 selling car in the US right now.
one sentence to summarize all of Scotty's video: buy a Toyota.
Just traded in my 2008 crv with 3112k miles. Original everything except I had to replace alternator last yr. Bought another crv
I have a 2009 rav4 with 265000 ....absolute trouble free motoring. Highly recommend any buying as they are simply one of the best Suv ever!!!
I wish I could get away with 2 wheel drive here in Minnesota, but unfortunately the snow can become too much.
Love this generation, as it's the only one available with a 3rd row! Still deciding between a V6 or 4 cyl, but definitely want that 3rd row
It comes down to one question, do you need the extra power?
V6s cost a little more in terms of maintenance, but I much prefer them for their refinement and smoothness. I'm personally happier with a V6 than a 4 cylinder, but to each their own. Test drive them both and see which one you prefer.
I would take the V6. It’s comforting to know you have the horses if you need them. There’s been situations in my 4 that I’d have it floored and I wasn’t moving.
That third row is useless hell I'd say go with a 4Runner but even if you get a SR5 or a limited with a 3rd row it still super small and kills your cargo space that's a step it up to the Sequoia and go-big-or-go-home
@@davidaix5771 don't want or need a giant car. The 3rd row is only for rare not a full time use case.
Thank You Scottie for Your videos
Love ya Scotty! Still think I'd take AWD in the rain down here in Georgia though instead of just FWD... And when the next Snowpokolipse happens
I'm the happy only owner of a 2006 4wd RAV4 with 150k miles. Only minor maintenance needed. Hoping for another 100k which will mean it will be my last car. I'm very thankful for Scotty giving me all the maintenance tips to keep it running like new. Thanks Scotty.

I have an old 2001 Solara with 318k on it. Still run great.
Who is scotty talking to when he describes what a CD is🤣🤣
The ever-important middle-school demographic.
@@watchman1178 but everyone knows what a CD is
We must protect Scotty at all costs. An American Icon, Treasure and all around patriot!
We own an 08 same color but the 4 cyl. It did have the piston ring oil burning issue but we paid to get that fixed.
The only issue on it is the same thing as the video - the TPMS sensors are dying that's it lol
I have my own scanner I confirmed 2 of the sensors are just dead.
Love my '19 RAV4 XSE Hybrid
I have a 97 I bought for $700 & 3 yrs later with 23k more miles, still going strong. I e put less than $700 Into it & use it for Grubhub & Uber Eats orders & it's still just keeps going 😊
i have a 2008 rav4 with 130k miles. my mechanic was shocked i had the original exhaust system on it--only found out bc it broke just past the muffler and the pipe was hanging down. The inside looks brand new. i'd trade it in but nothing that has this much cargo room is even remotely affordable.
IF you were here in Australia you would also like my 2004 Toyota Hi Lux with a diesel engine. no turbo, no DPF, no common rail ok no power to speak of but still going strong. Known to be good for a million kilometers . I'm half way there and no problems to speak of. original clutch alternator etc. I was pissed my AC needed regassing after only 18 years!
Bro you got the torque and those Toyota diesels are crazy fast.
It's a Hilux so it should be the 2.4 or 2.8 turbo D-4D diesel engines. Crazy long running engines 🔥
We have a Toyota innova with the same Hilux's 2.4 Diesel and its an absolute beast, makes around 150 hp and 400+ nm torque and my love for petrol SUV's is no more being a diesel the engine makes no noise in the cabin very well insulated. Just realised petrol engines and SUV's don't go well, diesels baby 🔥❤
@@ZLone93256 the 2.4 and 2.8 turbo are the current ones. mine is 2004 3 litre.
@@georgepppp533 yep the first version of D-4d was the 3L turbo diesel then the 2.8 and the 2.4. Crazy engines tho 🔥
We are very happy with our 07 4 cyl Rav4
We have a 2008 RAV4 with the V6. We bought new, currently it has 72,000. Over the years we replaced water pump, front struts, brakes and basic maintenance. This is my wife’s car. I have tried over the years to get her a new rav4 but she likes this car and at 75 not interested in new technology
Very nice car. I have a 96 corrola wagon still running like a 🐎!
We have a 2001 Silverado 2 wheel has 252xxx mi on it in Iowa still starts right up no matter how many days it sets since we very seldom go anywhere
Hey Scotty I'm presently rebuilding a 1999 RAV 4.ran okay but was using oil took it apart only problem was the oil.control.rings stuck on the Pistons The Cylinder Bore is clean pistons in good shape 200 000 miles GoToyota
📞 📞 👆
I've found the best Crossovers to be Lexus RX 350s. Only issue is the gas milage. They need to make a 2.5 liter engine instead of the 3.5.
I bought my Toyota RAV4 V6 sport in Dec 2007. It was made in Japan and has 150,000 mi. It has AWD and 4WD on demand but the 4WD shuts off when the speed exceeds 25 mph. I thought Scotty made a video stating that the years 2006 to 2008 should be avoided due to excessive oil consumption, which my car doesn't have, and transmission problems.
Yes, Have seen other TH-cam video's saying the same
The excessive oil consumption issue was just on the 2006-2008 4 CYL models. The V6 didn’t have that issue.
Just bought one! My first Toyota! A 2011 With 53.000km (33000miles) with the 4 cyl 2AZ-FE though. Here in Chile apparently we didn’t get the upgraded 2AR-FE 😢 When should I start worrying about the oil burning issue? Huge fan from Chile @ScottyKilmer !!
Come to Maine! 4 wheel drive and AWD is a necessity on some of our roads.
YOO I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS EVERY VIDEO MAKE ME LAUGH YOU'RE REAL TO ME I LOVE HOW YOU POST EVERYDAY YOU PUT ME ON MY GRIND. I POST GREAT Videos (ROAD TO 2k)
Nice one scotty
Hi Scotty i want your opinion regarding a toyota tarago or estima 2002 2.4 are they reliable as the Camrys?
i keep on wondering as they are fwd and heavy would they have any problem with the transmission or cv axels thanks 🙂
Amazing, Scotty.
My wife has owned two RAV 4’s, first was a 97 and now we have a 2007. This car is super clean, has 86,000 miles. Four banger with 4 wheel drive option. Other than that, it’s a plain Jane. I’ve offered to get her a new RAV or Venza but she’s not interested.
She’s a keeper. Your wife, not the car. 🥰
I have an 08 RAV4 sport with 189k miles. I was worried about creeping up on 200k but 348k miles? That's crazy! I think I'm gonna keep my 3rd gen for awhile before upgrading to a newer model
I remember recently when Scotty was sliding around there in a Tennesee video and had to use his Son's blue 4x4 Toyota pickup to get down the road .
So , there are times when a 4x4 comes in handy .
The question is , is it worth having 4 wheel drive just to use it a couple times a year ?
Unless if you live in a place with lots of snowy days and Mountains and Hills , You may not want the additional Maintenece required with a 4 wheel drive .
I live in the snowscape that is Canada, specifically Manitoba. Gets down to -40F with the wind chill some days in January, and February, sometimes colder. Lots of snow. You are exactly right. You really just need a solid set of snow tires. I’ve never been stuck in my old Camry on good tires. However Manitoba is very flat prairies. Can’t speak on how it is in more mountainous terrain such as Alberta.
hey @scotty, I have a Rav4 2002, it's making that humming noise when I turn in high speed. What should I look for?
Hi Scotty. The check engine and 4w drive lights came on suddenly. Another utube guy said to replace the spark plugs ignition coils. What do yiu think? Mine toyota Rav4 is a 2011 model
Scotty do one on the 4runner. My opinion the best suv ever made.
I'll raise you a '99 Anniversary Edition Mustang ragtop cassette player!
Hi Scotty, any chance of a review on the Chevrolet Traverse 2018?
