I used to own the worst car ever made. A Kia rio.

I thought Scotty said I was the worst car ever made looks like I am not the worst anymore. 😏

Maybe so but I'd still rather drive a vw than you.
I'm still genuinely surprised at how many PT Cruiser's I still see on the road.
I live in New Zealand and people still drive you around, I think I’d rather walk than have a pt cruiser or a Jetta 😂
Lest we forget the Yugo!
Customer: do you trust Volkswagen engines
Scotty: I don't even trust Volkswagen's hood struts
I prop mine up with a broom stick.
KIA the worst😉
Hyundai uses Kia engines, so if one is bad, then both are.
Loudly screaming at the camera with the owners in the car, while you're sh^tting on it the whole time is probably the funniest thing I've seen all day. bwahahhaha.
my wife is a former vw/audi service manager. Even her techs hated working on this junk. always had customers who think they got a great deal on an audi with 70 or 80k....until they got the repair bills.
apparently after spending $6000 no money left for steering wheel cover.

I have an older friend who always believed that any vehicle will last if maintained and not abused. That theory held up for him and he got over 200k miles from vehicles of various makes without any headaches.
Then he bought a brand new VW and learned that proper maintenance and easy driving can't overcome electrical gremlins.
Strange. I have a Jetta. Haven’t had one problem with anything electronic (or anything else for that matter).
@@BabyBugBug How old is it though? I have an early 96 gls, one of the OBD 1 compliant 96's. If the blue moon ever occurs and I do run into a problem it's usually relatively cheap. The new cars with more electronics can be a nightmare, doesn't matter what brand it is.
My vw should be totalled at this point over 10k in repairs over the last 2 years and its only at 70k miles
I have a 2009 passat and never had problems with it except for my faulty fan because i live in africa, had to buy another fan and that's it.
I've been binging this channel so much in the last week. I never thought car talk would be so entertaining. Thanks for all the content, Scotty!
Go Pats!
It gets old. I watched him 4 years ago. Thought it was awesome. Not anymore. He simps for the the slowest common denominator. If you learned from his videos, great. But just know, it doesn't hold up.
Good for you. Listen and learn, he will save you from making bad decisions.

“Does anybody want some German tacos?” … ROFL!!! That was classic!!! 😂
I'm so glad Scotty hates political correctness!
Sausages tacos and huge beers, what could go wrong?
Jalapeño bratwurst is standard in parts of Texas with lots of German ancestry, like New Braunfels.
Volkswagen is one of the biggest producers of sausages in Germany. Their currywurst is especially popular. They started making sausage as a way to save money feeding their employees but now they sell most of it to others.
Who is the pretty lady in the back seat of the Volkswagen?
@@michaelmazik9019 the owners girlfriend/ wife most likely
Some lady was all excited to bring Scotty her car!! She proceeds to TH-cam to watch her long anticipated car video and sees: "worst car ever made"
Scotty coming in hard with the German accent! 😅

The best mechanic I ever did business with refused to work on VWs. They required too many special tools and were time consuming to work on.
Funny how mechanics will hate specific makes/models... I had a shop down the street from me that had a sign in the window saying that they will not work on Cadillacs. I never asked the guy about his beef with Cadillac but I still wonder to this day.
bring an Audi or Porsche to them lmaoo
Time IS Money 🤑💰
@@robc7323 I had a mechanic tell me he didn't work on cadillac because when he would tell customers the prices for parts they would all call him a crook 🤣
I have a 1983 VW that has the drivetrain from a later GTI in it. I did most of the work myself and figured out ways to do things without the VW-specific tools. It's gotten much worse lately, to the point where you need a programmer box to make replacement parts work after installation.
I've had two Jettas and two pt cruisers and my one Lincoln town car lasted longer than all four
My 94 Celica has over 341,000 miles on it... I bought it over three years ago. By far the BEST $600.00 i have spent on a used car!
Lol $600..
Id pay a lot more than that to have my 90 celica back.
That's incredible, sadly so many were junked because the tax system in Japan makes older cars too expensive to keep driving, pushing people to buy new cheap to register cars, great for the auto industry, but it's such a waste!
My mustang gt will smoke it
@@keithbellair9508 celicas are not meant to be fast, so who cares if a mustang will smoke it?

The rear headliner has some kind of disease , I see warts all over.
I'm from Ukraine, those are all over the place here, people also drive Skoda alot here. I guess maintenance is much cheaper here and due to their popularity much more people know how to fix those. Regardless, looking at Toyotas after watching Scotty so much hehe
Yes, it is MUCH cheaper, I have 2013 jetta 2.5l, and right after bought it I decided to change all fluids and filters in the car. It costed about 300$.
As long as you steer clear of the vw dealers and have your vw serviced at an independent audi/vw dealer, you will save tons of money and your beloved vw will run strong and long.
That has nothing to do with how they're made.....newer ones don'tast..especially the autmatics

Ask an independent mechanic, what car should I get and the first thing they say is "nothing European " .
@@Nozinbonsai I mean that's not to surprising considering how much of it is probably "raw raw american is better" regardless of opinion. I'm just surprised at how much respect Japan has gained even for those type of people. Honestly the real motto to understand is really just that quick autozones and all dealerships just suck. The reality is if you don't wanna have to do it yourself or be cautious about where you take it, you need a mechanic you trust. Simple as that
I’ve seen the 1.9TDI Jetta’s, A4’s and passats go well over 300k miles in Ireland.
becase the 1,9 TDI is indestructible
I have a 2016 Golf TSI 1.8 litre. At 118kms I have had to replace the radiator $550, replace the turbo $3000, replace the water pump at $1500 for the water pump, transmission oil and filter for $500. First and last VW I buy.
Yeah i hve an Opel n i hve a long list f repairs too. Some pricey n others not so much but it never ends once it starts.
Jeez! The water pump and automatic trans service on my Lexus GS were 560€ and 350€ at the dealer, even though labor rates at Japanese brands dealers are among the highest in France and maintenance for a Lexus should cost more... The radiator, if it was to fail (I hope not) however, may be more expensive on my car but the costs of your repairs are still mindblowing.
I had the first year of this body style, an 06 Jetta TDI with a 5 speed manual for about 6 years. Great fuel mileage and good power (especially with an upgraded turbo). Unfortunately they were known for lifters and cams wearing out along with various suspension and ABS issues among other things. I loved driving it but never stopped fixing it. It never left me stranded but I limped home many times.

I had an 08 GTI and around 100k miles everything started failing. Transmission, interior, engine burning oil, electronic gremlins. Traded it in for a Lexus!
VW went from being a simple "people's car" that was inexpensive and as simple as a stone-ax, to a car that's an over-priced, over-engineered Audi reject. 60 years doesn't always get you "progress".
The car fleet within Mexico is almost entirely Made in Mexico and you still see plenty of cars as far back as the 70s driving around in daily use. Mexico has been manufacturing vehicles since the 1930s. It's not like every vehicle there is also a lemon. The pick up trucks are especially impressive as over there people actually use pick up trucks for doing actual work and you'll see some 40 year old models still in battle going strong even when far past their lifespan Whatever decline in quality that comes out manufacturing in Mexico has more to do with the manufacturer who still oversees the quality control, factory design, material selection etc. That's especially relevant when you consider some car companies are run by penny pincher salesmen instead of automotive engineers. GM is an especially bad example of that. Sometimes when auto makers go overseas they not only try to save a buck through cheap foreign labor but they also start cutting costs elsewhere and the host country gets the blame. Not every German working to put together VolksWagen is an automotive engineer either. Assembly lines are for the most part routine work. You also have to remember in countries like Mexico the work environment is EXTREMELY competitive as having a job at a large foreign company like that is a blessing and for every worker there's 1000 other people ready to pounce on their job if they slack off in anyway. So you better believe they work their asses off and do the best job they can, the work ethic there is much higher than it is in the USA and a job like that is hard to come by. Don't blame Mexico, China, etc for the differences in quality, blame the manufacturer who's trying to make extra cash. Plenty of quality stuff comes out of Mexico. I remember buying a water pump for my 1966 Mustang while I was in Mexico. The new part was solid as a brick and made quite well unlike many of the new replacements you can find at auto zone that you can still see melted pepsi cans in the metal work. On the side of that new water pump it said "MEXICO". Similarly an uncle of mine owns a VW van with a Mexican 1600 that just doesn't stop. We still have my grandads Mexican 1974 F-600 dump truck which is still used regularly to this day.
Mexican workers have pride in making vehicles for their own market. I doubt they care as much working for some foreigners who pay them literally a few dollars a day.
Mexican working class culture is a concept of pure dignity, you’d be surprised as here in the United States is work “smart” not “hard” well that working “hard” ethos takes you a long way and gives one an unshakable attitude in life, my mother and everybody i know have been told to “take it easy” or “hey relax, don’t work so hard it’s almost time to go” and my folks look at them like there crazy, work needs to be done, they feel unfulfilled not completing tasks at hand, u can see this effort on display by seeing construction of buildings being built so fast these days
@@SocraticMind89 Mexicans work hard even when they are in the US, so I get what you're saying, but production line work SUCKS. The US have unions for the people that work on the line, but the Mexicans aren't protected. This means they get paid slave wages and possibly work in unsafe conditions. I'm not saying they don't work hard, but when you're overworked and underpaid at possibly one of the most tedious tasks known to man in probably unsafe (by US standards) conditions your work will suffer. That's just being a human.
I doubt the domestic Mexican auto manufacturers treat their employees like slaves, plus they have pride in making cars for their own country.
The issue isn't the ability of Mexican workers. I think it's far more that companies are trying to squeeze out as much profit as possible while minimizing their operating costs (and wages). Not much star talent to be found with that method
@@giantboop5189 Totally agree, that's what I was trying to get at.
SSSSSSSSSCCCOOOOTTTTTTTYYY, Hay my Brother- in- law gave me a 2002 Toyota Sequoia with less (get this) 50,000 miles, Blowen head gasket! oh yah it is a 4x4 SR5, with leather seats and all. My question is should I pay to have it replaced or go for a remaned engine??????? and whats a fair price to have it fixed ? ( meaning have the head gasket replaced??
Drove a 2009 VW Jetta 2.5 L manual to 200,000 in CA with minimal issues. Sold it and I’m sure it’s still going strong. The steering and handling on those cars are incredible. Loved that car wish I never sold it, even though I sold it for 2x what I bought it for. 😅
I really like the styling and drive quality of this car as my cousin has one in his garage but ALL mechanics I ask tell me to run from the car and the only one crazy enough stays all the way in Lagos 🤣 anyways, it's either this or a Peugeot 407 for me
@@timiYESthe 407 is one of the worst cars that Peugeot have ever built, totally unreliable. The VW is an equal money pit guaranteed, so I'd recommend looking elsewhere
This is my exact experience with my turbo stick shift Jetta. Great handling, speed and performance. Then a nightmare to find mechanics who know how to work on them, and parts are very expensive.
Is so simple to work on german cars! I'm european...😁 In my oppinion,japanese cars are verry difficult to work on them...
Why not just use the dealership? I know it’s expensive, but they know exactly what to do with your car.
Scotty is still shopping for a good used tooth.

😂😂😂😂😂😂
Have Volkswagens ever been good though? They always rank very low in terms of reliability in non industry promoting publications like Consumer Reports.
In the international worst car runoffs, the East German Trabant deserves dishonorable mention. What is not to like! Two stroke, fiberglass body springs apart on impact and burns easily, you can hear it coming so you have time to get out of the way.,
The notorious pinto please don’t rear end me not ready to die car of the 70s perhaps?🤔
That heater didn't need to be on ... For Scotty to roast the owner.😳
I bought a Passat with 110k on the clock - what a mistake! Cheaper to scrap it than to carry out the faults.
Germans did this with their Panther Tanks during WWII. Tanks had Porsche transmissions that were too complex. Simple American Sherman tanks were much simpler and "normal" and easier to work on. Germans over shoot the mark with technology.
I used to ride share to work with a friend who drove an Audi. One day he asked me if I wanted to buy it. I told him friends don't offer friends German cars to buy.
Good one 😂😂😂

I think Volkswagens were always designed for people who know how to drive and who don’t mind getting their hands dirty time from time. Toyotas are very good cars too and people buy them, because they ‘ve heared somewhere they don’t have to open hood a whole year….!

Do not buy a used Volkswagen, unless you do your research carefully. These vehicles are slow and they are expensive to repair and/or to maintain. Thanks.
I’m sure all the bushings need replaced too
We need you checking out a Dacia Duster 😄I don't think it is a good buy for US for sure but it will be interesting to see what your thoughts are going to be on those affordable-ish vehicles (in the context of parts being available locally/ mechanics are working on those relatively often)
Dacia´s usually score quite well in endurance tests , and there are plenty around with serious milage
Do you refer to Dacia - the Romanian car company?
@ildart8738 it's the only Dacia I know, are there other Dacia companies ?
Dusters are quite common here in the UK. They are cheap and reliable, and are quite capable off road in the 4x4 version.
I have a 2006 Jetta TDI 1.9, and besides the engine it is nearly identical to this car. It also came from florida, but more like 10 years ago. And mine has 321k miles on the clock! Mine has been an AMAZING car, always fun to drive, but yes, the parts are it's downfall. Very expensive, but over my ownership of it since about 60k miles, the only big things it needed were a Camshaft and a Dual Mass Flywheel. Both time consuming jobs, but worth it! WITH PROPER MAINTENANCE, they'll go forever!!
Would you recommend a five cylinder like the one Scotty showed here ?
The money will just go flying out of your wallet wish I knew that years ago when I bought one of those.

You should have asked an American. We have known the German cars to be money pits for over 30 years 🤣
I wonder how many of the repairs on that vehicle we're not necessary probably quite a few
I have a 05 VW Golf with 158000 miles on the clock and it's still running fine . It's all to do with maintaining your car . Keep the oil good and they will be fine . plus you can find plenty of VW spare parts in any auto wrecking yard

@@unclephilly2127 actually yes, I love near the border, so whenever I needed to do the timing change interval every 100k miles, I take it to a vw dealership in Mexico for a third of price a dealer in the US would charge, and since it is made in Mexico, they have no issues getting it done, it is kinda an advantage of living by the border, with made in Mexico cars, since I know if it was made in Germany, the parts are priced the same as in US and sometimes they do not have em in stock.

How many videos has Scotty made that says "worst car ever made" ??? First it was the Fiat 500, then it was other cars, & now this one .. LOL ... No Scotty, the "worse" car ever made was the Trabant, followed by Yugo. ;^D
Loved the old Beetles. Had a 67 in high school. When I was stationed in Germany in the Army, I bought a 64 for about $400. It broke down and I bought a 63 rag top for $300. Used the 64 for parts on the 63. My beetle drove great in the snow. The Mercedes and Audi's would be sliding trying to get up a hill and my Beetle up putted by them.
I had a turbocharged Audi 5000 with the 5-cylinder engine. Very characteristic engine note. But nearly everything broke except the turbocharger and the engine.
The more technology, the larger the dealer repair bill (profit)
Scotty, you need to get that snow off of the driveway before cars drive on it and make ice. Snow shovels are cheap, new hips aren't. 😃❄️
This will be the worst one…until he finds another that’s worse…lol.

Like you say Scotty, when these German vehicles work properly they are a dream to drive. I owned a manual BMW and it was a joy. The thing had great power and comfort. But it became a money pit when problems developed.
I’ve had lots of German cars and your ride they turn into a money pit after they get around 70k miles on them. They’re pretty nice when they’re fresh. The only thing I’ve ever had worse luck with was a range Rover. Japanese cars ONLY for me at this point.
The simpler the vehicle, the easier it is to repair. Ford's Model T was so designed that the person of average mechanical skill could do minor repairs. Of course the car was arguably the worst car on the road at one time because it crowded out anything worse.
Obviously we have some complexity built into cars out of concerns for safety (collapsible steering columns, crumpling bumpers, air bags), and emission controls (catalytic converters). All else not basic can break down.
No.. the Audi 100 with inboard front disc brakes is the worst car ever made in great numbers..

Its 51 degrees up here Scotty. Looks like Jack Frost is visiting there. I liked my 2001 Cabrio, but once the suspension wears out, you might as well start a repair garage for VW's. Every part for the thing was at least four times more than American/Japanese cars. Its gone. put $3K into it. Let some kid fix it up.

Who is the lady in the backseat during your drive??
Volkswagen TDI...BAD!!! However, the Volkswagen 2.5 inline 5 is the most reliable non GDI engine they ever made. Our 2012 Passat with a 2.5 is mated to an Aisin 6 speed transmission and "runs like a top"....107,000 current miles.

My company boss insists on VW we have four in our fleet they all have faults, two of them have the same fault which after spending much money the fault cannot be rectified, the heater system will not get warm/ hot on a cold day, I have to wear a large coat and gloves
My jetta had 193k and was still going good when I got my passat
He said if it wasn't a toyota it wouldn't need repair I've had two toyota primus that have a leak in the accumulator to fix you have to replace the master cylinder plus the booster that price of part is $1,700 dollars plus almost 6 hours to replace so little over 2k to fix and come to find out the master cylinder is on backorder
Somebody told me that you passed away a couple days ago... glad you are still here, scotty...
Honestly, I think the Lada was the worse car ever made Scotty. Do you remember them?

Scotty will do anything (almost) to avoid a days work in the garage, someday he's gonna be a big Hollywood TH-cam star ⭐
He's got 5 and a half million subscribers. He's already there.
Mabe he's just tired of working on cars after 52 years ...most people are retired by then...
Scotty's going to bury the Kardashians 🤗
Between your mouth and God's ear.
Funny at 3:59, we in the UK think that US made BMW's are terrible!
You are a funny man Scotty,I love it.😂

@2:35 The most reliable modern VW enginge AFAIK is the 1.6 with up to 105 horses. ;)
My dad has an old Audi A4 ( essentially a fancy VW ) made in Germany. It's been reliable and drives great even at 10 years old. But if something does break.. yes, it's going to cost a lot to fix.
My volkswagen is a money pit. No thanks im scrapping it
Imagining bringing ur car to scotty n he posted “worst car ever” 🤣🤣
What kind of gloves are you wearing ? Are they warm? I need better winter gloves. Thanks
With every German car you buy newer than year 2000, you feed the capitalistic throat of those manufacturers...
My 1st gen Tundra after 20 years 😀👌
Had a 06 tdi jetta, worst car I've ever owned
I once saw a VW eurovan that had been sitting for over 12 months for a brake job because the parts had to be shipped from Germany itself, I bet the mechanics love how much it costs to fix that nonsense. I still love seeing the birds and horses whenever you laugh, the pictures are perfect!
I have a VW Acotty! And so I have learnt by experience what "Fine German Engineering" is all about, and you have just explained it. "Fine German Engineering" is now just a fairy tale which starts with "Once Upon A Time"
Absolutely love your honesty!!!
I'm curious what a German taco would be.
Never did I ever buy anything European and it'll stay that way. Over there, people keep saying the cars are just fine since they're made in-house. Over here they're money pits. We all know the only people who love Audi are the ones who can fix them or lease a new one every couple of years.
I don't know Scotty, I think the now defunct Daewoo was the worst of the worse!
I think you're right there don't see any now.
Any car that breaks down at that moment is the worse car ever made.
My 09 Jetta wagon TDI blew up at 36k miles. Specifically, the fuel injectors grenaded into the fuel line. It was a $13,000 fix - not covered as warranty expired. After appealing to VW America, I was able to trade in. Btw these were the TDI’s that VW lied about their emissions. Learn from my mistake and avoid VW at all costs. I now have a Camry and love it!
Bring back manufacturing simple analog cars!
I have several family members with this car and they all have over 200k miles. For a 16 year old car, they are a great value. If you look at the construction quality, it is almost Audi level. The model after this had a significant drop in quality and cost cutting. This was the last real vw. Btw the vw/Audi plant in Mexico is one of VW groups most advanced plants. As for the repair costs, you can find the parts online for much cheaper, especially through FCP euro. Also, you can buy a VCDS unit for $200 to connect the car to your laptop, run diagnostics, clear error codes, recalibrate systems etc. For the DIYer, this is a terrific car with quality way above the Japanese and Koreans if you are willing to do some work and maintain them properly.
My daughter drives this model with 5 speed manual and has over 170000 miles for a 2010.
I think it’s been one of the easier cars to work on
Agree
Kudos to you Dave for posting this message. I've personally owned (3) Jettas: 2008, 2010(still have) and just recently...purchased a 2022 Mk VII GLI and absolutely love the car. What many people, especially here in North America, don't understand or respect is that the higher levels of German engineering require maintenance.....the owner absolutely "must" perform the required maintenance. Thanks again for presenting this side of the coin.
I do know work and it’s lasting 20 years regular maintenance just saying and mom and dads 4 runner and Highlander same hmmm maybe we got lucky🤔 what’s the opposite of a lemon? A stuffed turkey with tall tale stuffing? Hmmm
Mid 2000s Jettas were money pits with all kinds of electrical problems 🤣
Preaching to the choir Scotty, girlfriend had a 96 Jetta. Awful, just awful....unidentified oil leak the dealer cld'nt stop. Would lose the oil cap, alarm system killed the battery, left her stranded & door lock fell off inside the door. Wouldn't touch em w/a 10ft pole.
I have a 2013 SEAT Ibiza which is a 2013 VW Polo with better styling and a sportier chassis. My one is in what they call the FR trim which is the model range below the high performance Cupra models. Its built at the Spanish VW plant but compared to the actual VW models it is actually less complicated and not too full of technology and still has keep fit windows in the rear and manual transmission. I have done over 73,000 miles from new in it (that is high to some people in the UK) and the only issues I ever had with it are a few months after I brought it new as the turbo failed (its electronic) and recently it has developed a creaking noise around the suspension area which is common with all VW's as its due to the anti roll bar bushes. However some of the engines on the higher powered Cupra's or the Czech cousin the Skoda Fabia VRS models of the same age do suffer with terrible oil burning and people have had to have engines replaced or rebuilt.
electronic and in General modern VAG crap i own a 1983 Toyota Corolla no module no nothing electronic no Turbo
@@epiccarguy892 if my car died on me tomorrow I wouldn't mind buying a old car with less of the technology on it.
I remember what my mechanic said. "There is the right way, wrong way and European way. If you want to put my kids through university, buy a VW or any other European branded vehicle. They unnecessarily complicated and parts are expensive.".
