Hey Scotty I'm thinking about buying a 1999 Renault Twingo I.
I did some reseach and my aunt also had one. She drove it for 15 years wit only 1 little problem the fan belt cracked after 10 years, so could I get one ?

Do Worst cars by Toyota next
Scotty Kilmer amazing as always Scotty keep up the amazing work!!
1991 Honda civic ed6 std, opinion?
I'll never forget a coworker's reaction when I showed her the Isuzu markings under the hood of her brand new "Honda".
I was thinking it wouldn’t take long for someone to figure out their Honda is really an Isuzu once they opened the hood. That just sounds tacky or lazy to slap your badge on someone else’s work, even if it’s ok with Isuzu.
@@lovethemflowers Isuzu was quite happy to slap their nameplate on the Oasis. Isuzu wound up with a reliable minivan. Honda got garbage.
Lmao damn
a friend of mine wanted to avoid buying a ford truck so he went to mazda. he had the same reaction when i showed him the ford manufacture's plate inside the door. and he told me the sales guy's name was ford also :P :P
The Mazda 3 is a great reliable car . The people on here need to do some research
Miss my 2000 Civic LX. Sold it with 250k miles. It practically sold itself. Guy knocked on my door and made me an offer I couldn't refuse. Damn, wish that guy never knocked on my door. Didn't have much power, but it was reliable and dependable transportation. Never let me down. Ever.

Scotty forgot too mention the Re-badged Trooper which Honda sold through their Fake Luxury Brand....Acura....again....other Honda Accord-Civic variants sold outside the the US with simply Honda Badges.
I’m on my fifth Honda. I’ve dabbled with VW but I keep finding my way back to Honda. One of the best car brands available in any class.
LOL. I didn’t have it (Passat) long enough to find out.
... but u will say that the VW fit, finish, and ergonomic engineering seemed to be superior to the Honda. The sound of the door closing was magical.
Zab Devin Thats funny bro because I have had 3 VW Passats and a bunch of Hondas. Whats funny is that the VW doors do feel solid when you shut them but they droop after not long while my Civic door is staying perfect and not drooping. VW sometimes does feel good especially the GTI's but Honda run like a clock. 👍
Avoid Honda bro, they are junk. Listen to Scotty he knows better.

as 3 door
5 door

and Coupe
I don't know why the 2002 model is the worst were the other ones better ?
Scotty roasting these cars and the reaction of the people who own them is the best
MisterLifter Exactly how I felt, that is until I found out my 04 Silverado (supposed to be one of the best years) was manufactured with Castech Cylinder Heads which are known for cracking. Lo and behold, 14 years later and 110,000 miles, I've got gunked up coolant in my oil. Go figure. If they had just manufactured the engine with quality cylinder heads, it likely would have gone for another 100k miles, at least. Friend of mine has an 04 Tahoe, 320k miles. Same truck. Only difference is; when his went down the assembly line all those years ago, they gave him GM cylinder heads.
@MisterLifter Followed all manual specifications and schedules. This is a known problem with the Vortec engines. Research Castech Cylinder Heads, there's plenty of info on it.
@MisterLifter 2010 didn't use Castech heads bud.
When scotty looks at these cars he's looking at it by the mass audience, like with 500,000 cars made, 200,000 have been reported with problems(not accurate numbers, for example) and you might be apart of the 300,000 that are fine but all together its 40% chance you'll have an issue
@MisterLifter My point was that I myself have always been an avid Chevy fan, and even I can admit that they're by no means perfect. The early 2000 Chevy trucks, along with the 90's models, are among some of the most reliable trucks ever made, but even that generation didn't come without its faults. If you want to get into the problems infesting the newer generation, post-bailout trucks, that's another discussion entirely.
I had a 1988 Honda Prelude 4WS for 13 years. It was a great car. Never had a problem with the 4WS.
This video is the first mention I have ever heard of the original mechanical 4WS systems being bad. They actually became a problem when they went to the electric system with the 92 Prelude.
I had one too great car.... Unfortunately the insurance company wrote it off when I had a rear shunt, it was deemed too expensive to fix.
Yep, it was mechanical system which held up pretty good over the years.
Probably is the most reliable 4WS...., in the world.
Maybe Scotty worked on one that had hidden damage due to past collision or something...
M-m-m-m-mechanical system?
*Looks up 1988 Honda Prelude 4WS prices*
I had a 90. 0 problems. No one I know ever had a problem with it. Another example of Scotty thinking his personal recollections are what everyone should use to judge every car. Sad that many trust his advice.
This guy is probably the most honest mechanic out there. Was about to buy a Honda Pilot and the automatic transmission went out just as I was test driving it
making the crz a hybrid instead of a proper hot hatch still leaves a bitter taste in my mouth to this day
I bet someone (Jackson, DC, Hasport, or whoever) will come up with a CRZ K20 swap kit or something.... maybe there is already... 👍
Hey Double D! What's "under the hood" if you know what I mean?
It's an L15A7 with a booster on the crank.
Not a car to be treated as a full hybrid in all honesty...
It is easily K swappable because that's what it was originally designed for.. A K motor. It couldn't pass crash test safeties in some markets so that idea was scrapped. Look inside the engine bay... It's basically empty
Indeed - great looking little car, but hardly fast. Should've dropped a N/A screaming 1.8-2.0 petrol or the later 1.5T in it. Barely troubled the sales market in the UK. Shame. The current Civic Type R is fast, but bonkers and too big for most people. If the CR-Z came with a removeable top and had a better engine.handling, it could've stolen sales from the Mazda MX-5/Miata.
Not much of a Honda fan, but the CRZ made zero sense to me. Hybrid yet with a manual? Car was weird to me. Should've done a 1.5L from the Honda Fit or put the 1.5L with the turbo from the civic, I think they would've sold a lot more.
who got butt hurt over the thumbnail? LOLL
As a 10th gen owner I was so triggered.

@Mike Hunt How often did you do valve adjustment?
You know who else made a mistake?? Toyota, with the new supra..
shoulda just remade the 93+ supra and it would have sold sooooo good
@@thekosmokramer maybe, but I think Toyata should have just named it something else because having a new "Toyota" supra car, it wouldn't have been hated on so much, but a new sports car would be so different and exciting

Whatch your mouth
Have a Honda Accord 1999 and a CR-V 2002. Both run like they were first bought new.
have had 01 crv, 01 accord, 09 civic, 04 accord 4cyl(still own) best cars ever!
@@stevefranklin8052 only have the 04 accord my wife took it away from me and said it was hers lol. If you ask her to buy a new car she laughs and would never give away her car. Ppl love their Honda's!
Steve Franklin I wouldn’t, older cars are made better that most newer vehicles.
He did say a honda accord 2005
@@m.a.omarkhail8294 dude i feel your pain. my ex got the '07 CRV. She got the condo too but I miss the CRV more.
Go easy on Honda. All of my reliable cars were Honda’s. I’m on my 6th and all of them ran fine when I traded them in
oh he loves Hondas, trust his 'worst' has to be really bad.
1.5 turbo is a Problem!
i owned 2 hondas. never had a single problem. nothing. absolutely nothing. nothing. both of them are well above 200k miles, yet, nothing
I'm on my first! kinda. it's an acura TL from 2012. Actually wait my 2nd. I have a 2000 accord that I use as kind of a junker and definitely not when my BMW's broke down.
@@emiliospowerballer1441 @Emilios Powerballer I bought one for $500, not many new problems. A pre existing power steering leak caused a bit and the outside temperature caused the radiator to bust today. Over all very solid V6 on mine, got it as a temp car coming from a BMW when it's engine failed and loved it so much when my BMW started having major engine problems again I bought a newer Honda equivalent of my BMW. My first honda broke down twice over 40k miles after sitting for 4 years undriven with the wheels stolen off of it, having been totaled and poorly rebuilt before hand, dogged by every previous owner and worse yet used frequently by my mother. I'm comparing it too a babied 2007 BMW that left me stranded 6ish times between 125k and 160k, costing a fortune each time but damn I love my Honda.
Did you know that Honda builds more internal combustion engines than anyone else in the world? They're only the 9th largest carmaker but they make motorcycles and even lawnmowers. Overall they are #1 in engines.
Mike J. Not in the V6 department Toyota make the best V6 Scotty made a video on it Honda makes the best inline4 but I would still choose a Toyota in-line 4 tbh less problems no turbos
I have an 09 Honda accord and it runs really good , and also has the noise canceling system making the ride very quiet, in my opinion.
They make f1 engines to
Yeah, Honda makes a lot of engines for a bunch of different things...
Anderson Rodriguez they’re trying to further power with great fuel economy. V6 can only get so far.
One thing about Honda that I do admire, its they do try to make everything their own.
👏👏👏👍
How's the current Honda Fit? I'm looking at getting a 2019 Fit EX.
Yes they do. Honda is a pretty ambitious company cars,jets,robots,lawn mowers...etc and motorcycles.
Like the Honda Passport?
That is correct they make there own engines and transmission.
manoman0 so they rebadged one vehicle. I can give them a pass on that one.
I am on my 8th Honda & that includes my S2000, great cars!
Arthur Roque why would you “include your buddy’s s2000?
Nick Romero I said my 02 S2000
Damn! Lucky!
Nick Romero took it off the show room in dec. 11 02 Scottsdale AZ!
Wow the S2000 really revs well. How many miles? No problems? I am on 6th Honda. I mainly had 4 80’s Honda’s and Acura’s, a 90 Integra and now 17 Civic.
I've had two 4WS Preludes and never had a problem with the mechanism in over 500,000 Km of driving. They also handled incredibly well both at high and low speed. It was a sad day when they discontinued their 4WS :-(
xjet I have never heard of any problem with the 4ws either
And wasen`t it the other way around than what Scotty tells; In low speed the weels turned oposite way and in high speed they turned the same way?
Agreed
@@finnhalland6918 Yes, at small angles of steering, both the front and rear wheels turned the same way but as the angle increased, they turned in opposite directions. This meant that high-speed lane changes occured as if by magic -- with the car seeming to go sideways -- but on tight bends you could really feel the rear end turn out to counter the normal understeer of a front-engine/front-wheel-drive car. It was fantastic.
This guy claims the 4ws breaks on every prelude and costs thousands of dollars to fix and that you should avoid these "high tech" solutions.... Just take me out back and shoot me..
I love Honda
Just Awesome Your yes, I Love Honda & Acura Too.
Same lol

Well, it was all of them.....so moot point. RX7 FD gets a pass from me for it's role in Initial D though.
I knew there was a Toyota some where in this video
What video have you seen that Scotty doesn’t mention Toyota?
Augie, there is no doubt that Toyota makes the best cars. I have owned almost every Japanese car but the performance of Toyota is unquestionable.
@SammyT Well....if you read again, some people think that Scotty tries to exaggerate about Toyota but that is not the case. So just wanted to tell people that actually Toyota is good name brand.
I did see the video where Scotty says Toyota can't built sports car, new Supra built by BMW
Mission accomplished
I love the way you dance and talk at the same time, that's talent
He mentioned the EP3?! That car was an absolute go kart. I loved it.
Yeah man, mine felt like a total go-kart. I loved it because of that!
Same chassis as the RSX and the EM2 civic. And the RSX is one of hondas best cars post 2000
I had a Type R EP3 and it was phenominal! Maybe the best car overall i have ever owned.
Only had to replace the clutch and that was a really easy job aswell.
I have an '02 and it's an absolute hoot to drive. It has an unbelievably stiff chassis, which gives it a very solid feel compared to earlier cars. I beat the snot out of mine every day and it just keeps on truckin'!
It weighs 2667 and i never had a problem if it had a real k20a2 or k20z3 instead of k20a3 it would have been our usdm typeR back then. Oh well just make em heavier and slower
My 2007 Accord is absolutely amazing 😍 I’m in love with it. I bought it 3 years ago with 80k miles original transmission and I’ve put 120k on it in that time. Only ever changed the timing belt and water pump as preventative maintenance. This thing still drives so amazingly. I drive 50 miles to work 2 weeks out of the month and this is the car I use. Never let me down (v6)
I miss my Black 2006 Accord EX V6 , my kid has a similar 2004 model. Just do all the scheduled maintenance on them and 100,000 mile timing belt/water pump .
@dan Johnson I didn’t say that he said anything about the I4 or v6. I was just making a statement that I love my car. I’d trust this thing to take me cross country over most of the new cars today
I never should’ve sold my ‘07 Accord. It was still running like a champ.
The V6s of this generation have problems with the spark plugs coming loose. They should also be checked preventatively, just need to make sure they are still tight. When I bought my 06 V6, I found one of the spark plugs was LOOSE. Bought it at 135K miles, now up to 174K and still going. I have definitely spent a lot of money on parts, but the car has been reliable. It made a 4800 mile road trip from Georgia to Montana and back with no problems.
I bought a 2012 Accord coupe V6 3.5 a year ago and so far I love it. My family has had hondas for so long.
Love your show Scotty and I never thought this day would come but I have a clarification. The original hybrid Honda you mention that you said looked ugly was the Honda Insight. The Honda Insights were extremely reliable and got simply incredible gar mileage (over 50 mpg). They were unpopular because they were 2 seat cars which is a huge limitation but for those few people who are OK with a 2 seat car, they were great vehicles. I don't think they look ugly but I also don't know many people who are interested in a car with just 2 seats.
I'm still driving mine. Best car I've ever owned. Still getting 52+ mpg
Two seats is fine for the young, in my country CRZ was very popular. But Insight just too ugly for us.
Good one Scotty. Being owner of 2008 Civic, Honda is one of my favourite.
I got a 07 Si. 180k and never had a single issue.
Grey 08 lx manual coupe checking in. Bought it 5 months ago, now has 106k. It's weird to me the same year si has about the same mpg with 60 more hp! Those k series are legendary.
My 08 Civic has reached 181k without any issue. Automatic transmission works great, everything looks perfect.
AFAIK, this model year of civic si was the only model that design and develop in UK. I am looking for one with manual shift as my son’s first car😅.
I've owned an 03 Si for 15 years and now has a 160K miles on it. It's been the best car I've ever owned, hands down. *NONE* of the things Scotty warns of here were or are true of my car.
I had a 1989 prelude 4WS and put 310,000 miles on and never had a problem with the 4WS system
Every once in a while I hear Joe Pesci.
VTEC kicked in yo 10seconds later automatic transmission failed.

@@WARBROTHER2 I know its a joke tho.
@@directorbeau agreed
Twas a glorious 10 seconds
What? My uncle got over 250k miles out of his 07 Accord!
My wife has an 07 accord v6 as her daily driver and I have an 07 accord 4 cylinder as a backup. Both have been great over the years. We have no intentions of replacing them, unless of course we win the lottery, lol. Even the we would probably still keep them.
Then again, we would have to actually play the lottery.
He was specifically talking about the hybrid.
That's pretty bad imo

@@soche3455 I have 2003 Civic european model EP2 with D16V1 engine. I love the driving quality of this car, sporty but not too much and i bought the car because of this after i borrowed my friends EP2 for a day. Strange ... when Scotty is talking about steering the picture shows rear suspension of the 2006 Civic SI. Owned car for 2 years also my friend has his for 3 years and had no problems so far for both cars. The only thing i can't say anything about is the original SI engine, i believe it is K20A3 but still it's hard to believe that honda engine got these problems also BoostedBoiz Wago now has this engine with 300HP and still somehow not a crack in a block ... hmmmmmm.
Same here that car handels amazingly car has a big following and was the last asperated light cornering hatch back we got on the US, after hondas getting bigger after 7th gen.
@@soche3455 The K20 is one of the most reliable engines ever made, he is not alone. Scotty is wrong.
Never really cared for honda until i got my hands on the 2018 accord... Such a great car for the price tag...
But the stereo sucks. Everything else is top notch. Car prices have gone crazy high.
Its still better than the cramped camry.
Even the altima falls short of space compared to accord.
It isn't cheap tho, but the best in class. Honda is king. It balances fuel efficiency and performance.

Honda is high quality Cars and motorcycle and marine, scotty is recommending Toyota’s over Honda’s , they both in A grade cars , I used both like a two sides of a nickel.
My 06 Honda accord 216 miles no complaints drive runs like new . also. 5 years ago. My sister gift to me. .no mayor mechanical. Work done. Only power windows. Some cosmetics. But runs very well.
I don't know about most of those models, but I've know a number of people with Odysseys over the years. I don't know a single one that has had transmission problems. They all performed well and were extremely reliable. I bought a 2007 new and it's still going strong with no complaints, other than the passenger side sliding door quit working two years ago. Fixed by the dealer, no issues since.
I love Honda. I have a 2009 Honda civic LX coupe. 89K miles.
I bought my 2010 civic lx coupe with 52k miles...now with 118k miles...zero issues..great car.
I'm a Honda guy and I will have to agree with you...
*Vtec has left the chat*
Agreed across board until you put the EP3 in the mix. Those cars were awesome if you are younger/ dont need cadillac soft well damped ride. Dump $2-$3k in intake, exhaust, flywheel, clutch, tuning, and you've got some of the most fun per dollar out there. My headliner was good and no trans problems with 295k on clock. Transmission was buttery (with the old dash shifter, which I miss) and motor rock solid when I sold it. awesome car.
Wait a minute, the ep3 is on the list!!??? I have a 02 Acura rsx base model which basically has the same engine.i have owned this car for more the 10 years and it has 256,000 miles with no major problems and still running like a champ.
@Taylor Daniel Sciff especially if yu don't beat em .
I have an 02 EP3 with the same experience. Zero mechanical problems. Love this car.
Cool! Do you know if the manual trans in the Base RSX is also the same?
Curious of your thoughts on the Honda Fit. I've seen a few spreadsheets lingering around the net, that the Fit might be the most economical "Dollar to Mile" vehicle currently sold in U.S. by any manufacturer. When you take into account MSRP, Reliability, MPG, and Re-sale Value. Even beating out all Hybrid/EV vehicles by a large margin.
Never buy hybrid.
It's a great economy car
I totaled my 2010 Honda Accord EXL V6 I miss my car 🚙. Had 192,000 miles on it

They're making the Honda Passport again and this time it's really a Honda.
What worries me about the Passport is that it seems to be a bigger Honda Pilot with a little more off-road capability.
...which we all know their buyers aren't going to take advantage of. It'll be just another blob mobile moping around and cutting everyone off as their drivers drive the things like they're smaller sedans when they're not.
Honda civic si? I guess they didnt build them the same every where. I had the european type r version buildt in Swindon UK. Cornered like a champ and was tons of fun. Only car I ever regret selling
The US non type R EP3 was also built in Swindon. Says so on the sticker on my car and my VIN starting with SHHEP :) I LOVE doing corners in my EP3
my 17 Hatch was assembled in Swindon. I hope Honda doesn't close the plant there down! What year was your SI?

Thats why I love my 08 Civic LX Coupe has 82k miles, bought it a few years ago when it had around 67k. Been using that car for my Delivery job over the years and all I ever had to pay for it was a new starter($400), a tire when one got flat($60), and i recently installed new wipers($60), brake pads and rotors myself ($50). Its been a nice reliable vehicle and I hope to either continue using it after I join/finish the Navy or probably sell it for $2000 since i bought it for like 7.5k 3 years ago.
Damn 400 for a starter. It's kind of simple to do. Civic just got the 2 bolts to take off and the plug and starter comes off.
Scotty can you make a “5 worst cars Toyota made” video?
“Not available, cuz Toyota made the best car”
Weng Zaïï all of them? Every Toyota is the best car ever made?
No he can't.. But he will do it for you.. I am sure
Mohamad Meshhen who can’t? Scotty? Why not? Just because it’s Toyota?
Scotty is not saying Honda made the 5 worst cars ever made from any manufacturer. He’s just listing out of all the cars Honda has made, these are the 5 worst of Honda’s cars.
Outdoor Layne I would be interested in that also!
Always love how sarcastic Scotty always is! Keep em coming man! You're doing awesome!
You forgot to mention the d17 engine. I did love my 2002 si. Though. It was the best car I've ever had. Sold it with 300,000 miles
Sold mine with 185k. Wish I still had it.
I owned an 02 Civic with the d17. I replaced the head gasket by myself at around 130k miles. Along with water pump and the belts. Ran perfect after that.
Keeping my 05 EP3 forever. 10 years so far.
That d17a2 motor aka the si in Canada is probably the biggest disappointment it’s a beautiful car has so much potential... if u want to shine u gotta spend a ton to drop the k20 in it.... personally they should have just done that in the first place... I have the 04 ex civic and believe me those cylinder heads are a real piece of work
@@1800BusterCheeks haha poor canada! I feel the same about the ep3 having the k20a3 instead of the k20a2 And 5speed instead of 6
I disagree with the civic si hatchback 02 to 05 ep3 i owned one took it to 198k with minimal issues
I have one, is a great car, handle is good, engine is strong, my transmission did take alot of abuse before to damage 3rd gear synchro. Is like a mini Crv and pretty much like a rsx. Maybe isn't ideal car for normal average people, but for a car guy is perfect.
05 EP3 for 10 years. Runs perfectly :) I love the handling. Does curved roads beautifully. I’m at 112k. Bought at 36k in 2009 third owner. Just redid the whole body to satin black.
I have the sedan ES 2004 version and havent done single thing on it either besides oil/Air, timing belt and brakes. 286k kilometers
Almost 200k on ours, we love it
In my opinion the worst one are the 01-05 coupes. The engine design is atrocious. They put the psp and reservoir right above the alternator so you know what that means when it leaks. Lol. Easy car to fix with very little room to do so. I love and hate it had 4. Sold the auto to my aunt. My daily is at 300k plus and still running. The other is a boosted k swap which I only run during summer and the other one I’m dealing with a parasitic draw issue probably from the viper alarm automated window module.
I knew the 02 Si would be on here. Surprised the weird stick configuration wasn't mentioned.
The awesome stick configuration you mean
The rust problem needs to be fixed on all the accords.
Michael Lyons fact
What years had rust problems?
I have a 06 and the passenger rear wheel well is rusting and rear calipers are Badly rusted.....but it spent its first year untill 2019 in the mountains of Boone NC.
I Had a 1990 Honda Accord with 376,000 miles, still ran as good as new until an asswipe suddenly made a left turn right in front of me and totaled my car. Bought a 2015 Honda Sport and you just cannot compare the build quality on this 2015 Accord with my 1990 Accord. I miss my 1990 Accord.
Yes but that year accord is the best. My friend have that too.
I had some high schooler with a fully loaded 2015 Accord Sport with her mom in the car very lightly rear end my Lancer a while back. Didn't even bother to ask for insurance details with the condition that the discussion was documented just in case and the damage to my car was literally two teeny indentations shaped like the Philips head screws from the front bumper license plate which I could easily sand out, re-prime, paint, and clear coat.
I was heavily amused to see their car driving around every now and then, the most recent encounter showing me that their front right fender is all crumpled and the rear bumper cover is now gone. Sucks to suck I guess
Get a 2018 or 2019 Accord, or if you prefer a small size car, get the current Insight
Scotty I beg to disagree with you on my 2006 Honda Odyssey with 203k miles on it still running smooth.
My parents have a 2006 Odessey too, and has about 130k miles, but never had any major issues or problems. Just normal wear and tear items and the in car entertainment DVD player crapped out. Car is still in excellent condition.
I have a 2006 Honda odyssey 217k drives great, I disagree with Scotty, he never says something bad about Toyota, looks like he's getting paid by them $$$
I have a 2002 Honda Odyssey with 237k Awesome vehicle 🚗
I have Honda city idsi 2007 CVT and still good till now, amazing Honda...
Is just Scotty's opinions is not represents reality.
2007 with a little under 200k and same here. Normal wear and tear but as far as I can tell its a reliable car to everyone whos gotten one.
You've always said that they have weak automatic transmissions, but from what I've seen the only ones that do not last are the ones that do not have their transmission fluid changed every 60,000 miles
Take a shot every time Honda is said

Hilarious Scotty! My 2004 Si Hatchback 2.0L, 160 HP, 5-sp Stick Shift is a delight to drive. Parks anywhere in town it's so small. 35 CF of trunk space I can move all my belongings anytime, anywhere. No turbo, no Direct Injection, no A/T, simple to fix. You won't see me at your garage!

I have the 2019 Accord 2.0T Touring model and I LOVE it. Toyota seems to be slacking to me lately.
Accords are better than Camrys in terms of quality imo
The new Corolla looks to be a decent improvement over the previous version (especially in terms of styling, both inside and out), especially the higher powered version. The saloon version might even make its way to the UK for once, which is handy for me as I've currently got a gen-1 Mazda3 saloon and would like some competition for the gen-4 car (a real looker) when the time comes to look to buy a replacement. The Civic is too big and too ugly, though the engine specs are fine.
@@AndyG73 Design is subjective though. I'm not dinging Toyotas designs but the quality of their interior technology, leathers (which aren't even real leather anymore), plastics, knobs, etc, are all lacking. We have a 2019 Pilot, 2019 Accord, and a 2018 Highlander. There's no comparison between Toyota and the Honda.
How do you like the turbo in the new one? I have a 2014 Accord with the 2.4 L4, and I love it. Plenty of power. Great mileage, and reliable. I’m a bit averse to turbocharged engines. I’m not sure how they are with regard to long term reliability.
Abdullah S. Ahmad the highlanders an aging model, introduced a while ago. Maybe a 2018 Camry is a better comparison as it’s actually introduced around the same time as the Hondas
I have a 2003 EP3 as my beater car, overall it’s been one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. I pulled the original engine and tranny out at 362,380 miles to swap in a low mileage engine/transmission out of a junkyard. It still ran and drove but was getting noisy and tired.... Not the fastest car in the world by far but it’s an absolute blast to drive, I will keep it on the road as long as I can. And this is coming from a WRX guy.
I have a 2003 I'd love to keep long term. Do you know if it's true that the Acura RSX base model from that year range has the same engine & trans?
Biggest Honda flops are other companies' greatest hits ...
Your beard is weird.
I don't have a beard.
I wasn't trying to quote that song btw.

FAAAAAAAART...
My Turbo kicked in yo!!! 👀😂💀
I just reunited myself with one of the BEST cars Honda ever made. Got myself another 2000 civic Si and this time I won’t ever let it go.
The Chevy Luv was an Isuzu that was pretty good! That thing was a great cheap pickup.
Do a search on Toyota issues and recalls and you will see that Toyota’s have their fair share of reliability and engineering issues too. And no I’m not talking about the Yamaha built engines either. Will bet $100 that Scotty won’t make a video on that. $1000 to anyone that he will never make a video on Toyota’s stuck accelerator recall that caused deaths and injuries. It’s official, Scotty is definitely being paid by Toyota or at least sleeping with the execs. Wonder why he doesn’t make any diy videos anymore. And of course why he doesn’t bash on fords. We all know how unreliable they are too. I must admit, ever since Soichiro Honda passed away, Honda has made a few blunders. But during his time, his cars were bullet proof. Honda will always have their haters it’s fricken hilarious. Really they are just butthurt. Keep giving us love Scotty! How many Toyota’s have you fixed during your 50 years? 2?

Scotty is the G.O.A.T
👏👏👏👏👏👏
Former Honda dealer tech here. Your wrong about the 95 through 98 Odyssey. Basically an Accord. Now when the 99 Odyssey came out..if the unit came in, it was for a sliding door, EGR or trans issue. Never seen a Prelude 4WS with an issue. Keep the great videos coming though!
Yes the first gen was Accord based. The EX was also sold as the Isuzu Oasis starting in 96. Isuzu continued to sell it through 99, I had one of the very last ones. Good 2.3 VTec and solid trans but had issues with heater core(nightmare job), brakes and water leaks.
I'm shocked to hear the 02 Honda Civic Si is on the list. I currently own and have driven an '03 Civic Si (same car) for 15 years now and I'm close to having 160K trouble free miles on it. Not a single thing claimed in this video happened to me. Plus the car rides and handles great. It's a little stiff, but it's a sports(like) car and inherently has somewhat stiff suspension for sharp handling. Also, this car runs on regualr 87 octane gas, has 160hp (way more power than the standard Civic) and still gets 33 mpg highway alll day long. Plus it's an oldschool hatchback and can haul an amazing volume in its rear with the seats down. I have to call Scotty out for this one. He obviously read this somewhere and decided to regurgiate it without any real firsthand knowledge or experience with this model.
Agreed. I have an 05 EP3 I’ve had 10 years. I just posted a comment to Scotty. Broke my heart. I mean this car is sort of rare. I’m not sure if he remembers working on them. Mine has 112k on it. Running strong. Just did it’s first trans fluid change with Honda MTF. The only sort of major issue I had was about 10 years ago when I first got the car. One of the bearings on a pulley froze. I still managed to drive it to a wedding and back home before there was a burning rubber smell. I know it was stupid. I was still young. But after that was fixed. Nothing else has major gone wrong. Just an O2 sensor that needed to be changed but that’s about it. I plan on keeping him forever :)
Agreed. I used to have an '02, and that car was AWESOME.
'04 EP3 with 223k kilometres, bought it just over ten years ago at 90k km. So far I've HAD to replace the driver's window run channel and regulator/motor and battery. All else was maintenance. I swapped engines (original 2.0 was running excellently, just wanted mo' powah) at 150k, using OEM exhaust components until two years ago and no problems. I've never heard of blocks or manifolds cracking. Never heard of headliner issues. The tie rod/strut issue only sucks if you're doing an alignment or if you lower the car too much. It works fine otherwise. I should also mention that I've worked for Honda for eleven years now and I'd be surprised if any of my fellow technicians had ever heard of any of these issues with these cars.
Scotty, ya fucked up, but don't take my word for it. I still like you but you're out to lunch on this car.
I actually like driving my 03 Civic Si. Sure the suspension is a bit stiff but it was not meant to be a luxury car. I've had it for a year so far but the drivetrain is all original and still runs strong. Im currently at 162k miles and I bought it with 149k.
I have a 02 myself; the biggest fault was the stupid inner tie rods mounted too high;caused the car to bump steer when the suspension had to deal with bad roads
;this is corrected by using inverted tie rods. and using coilovers with 8K springs at the front and 10K springs at the back
the second issue was the car had weak brakes for the power it had; use a JDM S2000 brake master cylinder {not USDM) to increase clamping power;or upgrade to a DC5 brembo system..more work and parts involved though
;change the serpentine tensioner at 110K on all K series engines;
transmission syncro's were problematic use Redline MTL fluid;and replace shifter bushings at the transmission if worn.
I own a 2003 Civic si, and other than me wearing out the clutch, its a great car... The steering is tight and controlled. After 15+ years the original headliner is still intact. And also, I have not had, nor heard of, the K20 block having any issue with cracking.
he should be called out by the community that owns them when he is wrong and doesn't take the time to really look into it.
I own one and its great but my friend blew the clutch and tranny
the K20 is the best modern honda 4 cyl motor. never heard of blocks cracking unless pushing some serious boost.
I wonder what Scotty’s sources are...
Shawn Tetlow my friends had an 08' si with the k20 he had it full stage 2 with a supercharger pushing 16+ psi and he blew it up 2x
Glad my '04 Accord LX 2.4 wasn't on the list.
I had my 05 accord for 8yrs no problems with but these are your opinions
cold blooded hybrid?
I have a 05 Honda hybrid 268k miles same battery pack all original
Lol but the thing is this Honda has the IMA and check engine light but battery and everything works fine 268k my last Honda went 400k same head gasket 2nd timing belt
Bryant Matthews my 08 broke down at 150,000 :(
Me too. Mine has almost 300000
I've got a 2010 Honda Accord 4 Cylinder Automatic. 210,000 miles. I haven't replaced anything aside from basic maintenance items (i.e tires, brakes, oil, fluids, filters). Car still runs wonderfully and gas mileage is still the same. Burns a little oil, but not enough to worry about. I use Mobil 1 extended life synthetic oil with the same filters. Change oil every 12,000 miles. Honda's are as reliable and cheap to maintain as they come.
12,000 miles is pushing it, I change my oil every 3,000 miles with Full Synthetic Pennzoil Oil. After 4,000 miles on old oil you put motor at risk, especially if you hit v-tec constantly.
My 2012 J35 Accord now has 631k miles and counting. An Oil change every 3k miles is the secret to making any car last.
Scotty, how current is your information on Honda transmissions? You keep saying they are "weak" but the examples you cite are all between 10 and 25 years ago. Don't you think Honda would have improved since then?
Haven’t heard any issues with the new cvt in the 10th gen civics.
Wide spread Honda transmission issues seemed to be from 2000-2004/5 I’m not sure why he keeps saying they’re weak
Not only that but it was a few select model that had problems, the ones that didn't had excellent autos
Honda has slush box auto trannys on all models thru every year when compared to the better built transmissions. Tbis is common knowledge among the honda car world.
My 02 accord has 228,000 miles on it, transmission still operates completely normal. In fact I'm impressed on how smooth and quick it shifts for that kind of mileage.
Scotty did you drink before making this video
Always lol!
Scotty. Is. Hammered
You new here? Every one of his videos seems like the ramblings of a guy with split personality & an addiction to huffing aviation paint stripper.
That's exactly the first thing that came to my mind when he started talking.
Vodka and red bull
Oh well. All companies have bad models from time to time. Had an 83 Honda Accord, bad camshaft, simple fix and ran for years. 85 Honda Accord hatchback. Still got it and still running. 88 Honda Civic DX 5 speed. Great car. Traded for 89 Civic SI. Hell of a fun car. Run circles around the v6 z24 Cavalier back then, and gave many a v8 a run for their money light to light. 95 Civic EX coupe. 5 speed manual. Another great Honda. 2000 Nissan Sentra SE, 5 speed. 300,000k and still going until my son decided to fall asleep, hit a culvert and flip it end over end at 50 mph last year. Only thing ever done was change oil, shocks and struts, brake pads front and rear twice, coolant flush, brake fluid flush, and replace trans fluid regularly. 2004 Honda Civic VP coupe, 5 speed manual. Never an issue, got over 40 mpg on trips at 70 MPH plus. 3 kids and had to trade it on a 2007 Honda Odyssey. Almost 200,000 on it now. Nothing but oil changes, filter changes, Timing belt and water pump ( wish Honda would have done a chain ), brake fluid flush, trans fluid every 30,000. Finally changed over to Castrol trans fluid the past 2 changes. Best it's shifted since new. And last but not least, 2014 Honda Accord LX 6 speed manual. 95,000 so far. Yes, I have a long commute. Average around 37 mpg. I believe most issues arise from lack of maintenance and abuse. The older Odyssey trans also had a serviceable filter that no one ever touched. Honda said it was not serviceable. They also say so on the 2005-2012 or so Accords. However, there is a filter that is replaceable. I highly recommend doing so. Negatives on all the above, Brake Rotors warp. Just a Honda thing. Always has been, and from the looks of it, always will be.
Chains stretch, which causes an efficiency loss over time. Timing belts are quieter. The disadvantage of timing belts is the cost/effort to replace them. Interference engines (piston and valves in same space at different times) are more efficient. An interference engine with a timing belt is the best setup for efficiency, but they don't last in the real world, because most people don't replace the timing belt on time, and the engine gets ruined. That's one of the reasons why you don't see many old Mitsubishis.
Scotty! You gotta drive my 1966 Honda S600 fastback! Most fun car I’ve ever had!
*watches to make sure his 99 accord coupe isn't on here* phew, lmao
Scotty, you got it backwards on the the 4ws Prelude; the front and rear wheels steer in phase at small steer angles (high speed), and out of phase at large steer angles (parking). The system is entirely mechanical.
The problem with videos like this is that it makes it look like every one of the models he mentioned is a pile of junk which is not the case. Since I worked for Honda the last 14 years of my career I could tell you horror stories as well as horror stories about VW & GM >> point is ALL manufactures have some issues with quality at one time or another...
Lies.... Not Toyota.... All their mistakes is the fault of others according to Scotty
Right. No automaker or car is perfect. Like humans, they all make mistakes
Including Toyota. He won't mention the issues Toyota has had over the years including the oil consumption for the engine.
BG oh like the Tacoma frames rusting prematurely and the throttle pedal getting stuck?
@@bg693 scotty made a video of bad toyota's. Have had corolla, camry, accord and civic. All cars are unique and great and would buy any.
I have to strongly disagree with you about part of your statement regarding the Odysseys. The 95-98 Odysseys were very reliable. The engine/transmission were straight from the 4 cyl. Accord of the same time. It was mostly an Accord with a quasi-minivan body on it. The unreliable Odysseys were from 1999 and up with the V6 engines.
You are absolutely correct on this, The 95-98 were made in Japan and were very good vans/cars. We owned a 97 and it's still on the road today with 350K, it's a little rusty, but hey, the power train is still strong. The unreliable ones were the 1999-2004. They fixed the transmission issues in the 2005 models.
My 2001 Odyssey has no engine or transmission troubles and 125k mi. are what Honda preaches.
@@richardlugar6868 yours is still pretty much new. Keep changing the transmission oil and hope it stays that way. When I was looking for minivan, it was one of my choices but all the ones I kept seeing had some sort of transmission problem.
Agreed on the first gen Ody's. Although I have heard the '98 and only the '98 got the weaker trans from the re-designed '98 Accord. It also got the VTEC 2.3.
zmoorer I agree. My 1996 odyssey as 740,000km and ZERO problems with the engine or transmission. Scotty simply hates Honda because he’s a Toyota guy and that’s simply it. The 2018 Camry has had a number of reports for Transmission failures/jerking and somehow he doesn’t have the balls to mention that. Or the torque converters being faulty on the 2019 Corolla hatchbacks.
I loved learning from you, I can't believe all I learned from you. Also everytime i look at my Camry 2016 4 cylinders I can hear you saying "you can't go wrong " I UBER my camry in New York city from September 2016 to July 2019 i have put about 160k Miles on and i have only do oil and air filter change, and of course break pads., thanks Scotty THANK YOU SO MUCH.
When I was a kid, my dad had a tenant move out of his rental house kind of in the middle of the night without paying rent. Because the tenant bugged out in a hurry, he left some of his stuff. One of the items in the stuff was a Honda 600.
How does one bug out without an automobile or why would a renter own two?

I Had a used prelude, early 90s, with AWS. It was a blast to drive!! Never fixed much on it but I also didn't have it long.
I totally disagree with your opinion on the Honda Civic si 2003. None of those problems have ever occurred or have I heard of those problems occurring with the vehicle itself. The Ep3 is a phenomenal car especially in the twist and turns or the back roads. One thing I can say is that the engine bay could be bigger and more easy to work on the motor. But overall the best and last Si hatchback in my opinion.

Thank you Scott for your genuine review😂
Doesn't matter what ever you talk(bs) about Honda. I love Honda. I am proud owner of 1998 Honda Accord & 2017 Accord.
That Honda 600 coupe brings back memories my dad had one in the 90s with a modified engine with about 135hp
Still drive a 1998 Honda Civic EX coupe today.
Still driving my 2000 Prelude with 34K on it!
I was just glad he didn’t roast my Ridgeline 😰
Agreed. However, I don't know how that's possible. Ours was just written off after being hit by a careless new driver.
10 years of problem free, safe and enjoyable driving. We sorely miss it. The "do everything" truck. Cheers.
13 accord here. First car. I freaking love it. No major problems, no bills over $1000 at a time like a euro car. Paid 17k for it. Got well worth over 30k over travel costs and potential Uber costs. And it still has only 88k miles. For 17k buckaroos. 100 dollars 170 times. 170x hundred bills. WELL WORTH IT. I can still drive it until 350k+ and I am mechanically inclined. It will be my daily that I can easily maintain and replace parts, even engine with my mechanically inclined skills and friend circle.
