Scotty Kilmer - what do you think of the Peugeot and Fiat Chrysler merger? I am also a fan from Nigeria, where the roads are extremely bad, because our government only steals the money and fuel prices aren't any better. So what kind of car/SUV that are affordable, low fuel consumption, reliable(could run for years to come,)safety(is a big deal,)cheap and easy to repair?
Today it`s Honda and tomorrow it`s Toyota. OMG Scotty, what will the world be like when Toyota is as bad as Dodge?
My 2006 Honda Civic has done 231,000 miles and the last 5 years I’ve had endless trouble with the Central locking every door has had at least 2 locking locking actuators on every door every time I lock the car at least one door won’t lock and I have to go around the car to find which door it is
Rest of the car is fine
I totally agree about Honda thats why I've been collecting the K20A2 motors with constantly variable valve timing. Not a fan of GDI or Iron Spray for liners. While Honda still uses a conventional liner it won't be long and they will all be using it especially in their performance cars. Hell there is no provision for rebuilding an Iron Spray. While both tech's are great for performance their not made for longevity.
Scotty, love your show man! I was wondering, what are your thoughts on a 2010 Acura TL? I’m thinking about selling it for an older Lexus similar to your wife’s.
I saw the "The end of Toyota reliability" so I decided to go with Honda . Then I saw this. All cars are endless money pits. I think I'm just buying a good pair of sandals.
lol
Buy a road bike! They are so much fun 👍🏻
Not sure sandals are reliable too today...
I think the best you can do is buy a proven performer, either Honda or Toyota, over something untested. For instance, I bought a 2018 Rav4 with 10,000 miles on it rather than the 2019 or 2020 remake because I was dealing with a known quantity that is reliable, and after 10,000 miles, any initial flaws should have revealed themselves. Still, though, it really is a crapshoot: I just try to stack the odds in my favor.
You just cant buy brand new cars. 2016 accord with the v6 honestly... or 9then civic. Just have to mod them. The engines can take it.

Scotty: you should buy a brand new 1994 toyota celica

You're doing it wrong.
This '94 Celica bashing is getting old guys. Every video Scotty makes someone has to comment that.
@@discerningmind it will never get as old as the '94 celica though
Toyota Headquarters: For some strange reason our focus groups are showing a new demand for Light blue 1994 Celicas.
That Celica is silver 😉 I have one just like it 😁
I really want one
And 1994 Supra's... :)
@@JackalCars 1992*
Everyone send an email Toyota corporate demanding for an old designed Celica.
It's sad, honest guys like Scotty are becoming hard to find
"💀"
Very True
That's the truth! Today, the biggest B.S'er wins. The kinda' guys that would have been knocked out and sent down the road are now calling the shots.
Scotty is the Dad we never knew we needed
Manufacturers don't care what happens to their cars 10 years plus any more.
Chrysler started that trend 40 years ago.
They need to get their S#@T together. Tha BASTARDS!
1
Started with lease cars ,they have even extended oil change intervals to make it look like low running costs.
They do if they care about maintaining resale value.
Cars that have a reputation of needing lots of expensive repairs after the warranty expires have the worse resale value.
I've been saying this for years on this channel when Scotty keeps saying how good Hondas are. When you have a 1.5 liter turbo making 200hp with a rubber band transmission, its obvious its not gonna last.
Look around and see how many 1.5 turbo cars are on the road. Ford/Honda /GM and many others. Toyota will also and I'm sure They have a CVT in the works.
Its the engine's that r failing ......not the transmission
Mazdas now use a nonCVT.
@@Winterstick549 When did Mazda use Cvt ?
@@suprashank
I assumed the older outside made transmission was CVT.
Scotty never liked it, so I figured it was a CVT.
When ever Scotty mentions the car I have I start worrying
Ronaldo Bennett right... “beware ANY 4-cylinder turbo charged engine!” Looking at my GMC Terrain with a turbo that we absolutely love! I think I’ll just drive it and love it like we have been.
@@jseels what's the age and the mileage?
just avoid turbocharged engines, the natural 2.0 liter civic 2016 is alot more reliable and doesnt have the oil dilution problem
@@davemunoz9742 Newer civics dont have that issue anymore
Scotty, it's 2039. What 250,000-mile 2019 model car am I buying?
"sometimes -engineering- *management* goes too far into making things cheap."
Exactly
That would be the "Boardroom".
Agreed
Exactly. The engineers goes before management and say this will affect our integrity and reliability....but then management says we have shareholders to answer to and we want to be as profitable as possible.
Engineers love sturdy and reliable. Management loves money.
Rule: do not buy cars which have smaller engines compared to the predecessor but are compensated with a turbo.
NA all the way.
We get forced to buy the cheaper made/designed newer car or take your chance/experience with a used car.
Nah, my turbo allows me to tune it and get 320 hp out of my 4 banger . Na is boring
juice box A NA will last way longer than a turbocharged one. I’ll take a NA V8 making 320hp over a turbo charged grocery getter anyday
Keith Black was quoted saying, 'if your engine needs a turbo, it wasn't built right'.
@@dannylopezrepairflip2516 I'll take 26mpg city over 14mpg city any day.
He kinda sounds like Charlie from always sunny when his voice gets excited
Reminds me of “kitty mittens” advertising video charlie made. Lol
I’ve been thinking that the whole time lmao
😂😂
He is always excited
He sounds like Joe Pesci
I have a Civic Sport with the 1.5 Turbo. Love the thing. I've had it for 2 years with zero problems and average 38-42 MPGS. I get 45 MPGs straight freeway. No oil dilution issues or anything yet.
Granted I change my oil every 4-5k whereas the Dealer and "Maintenance Minder" says I can go 10-12k on a single oil change...no thanks
It also gets it when I smash the throttle and go up a couple gears
Scotty is no longer a young mechanic
Toyota is the last one standing now
*We truly are near the apocalypse*
Scotty will always be a young mechanic
No he even made a video on Toyota also losing its reliability with this oil burning problems.
@JNS TRUCKING INC. ya I did work experience at a Nissan dealership and the men there said that the newer cars are always in the garage
JNS TRUCKING INC. Or just wait to the technology is tried and true. Never buy new
@@joshl149 good idea
My 2016 Civic Lx has a 2.0 L vtec engine with no turbo - it's awesome! I'm so glad it doesn't have the turbo issues.
you feel like it's slow? I'm considering the 2.0 over the turbo. I just don't want to have to NEED the power and not have it there for an emergency pass or something.
@@mootsym I bought 2 of the 2020 honda civic 2.0l naturally aspirated 6 speed manual
Whenever I see a CR-V I think "California Redemption Value 5 cents" - the label on recyclable bottles and cans in California.
Thumbs up.
I test drove one of those, then thought the motor was too small. I dont even know anything about cars and I figured it out go me lol.
I went with the naturally aspirated 2019 Honda insight, I just don't trust the turbo engines from Honda.
It's a shame you can't buy the two of the most iconic Honda cars with a na engine anymore... The V6 on last gen Accord was by far my favorite honda sedan/coupe to date
I recently bought a 2020 insight and it has been amazing!
Just a bit noisy but meh...
@@alexnguyen4081 I know right, I have the 2012 v6 j35z2 and I love that engine. Sounds amazing and pulls hard. I've always love my civics, and currently have a 2.0lt 09 civic 5speed. But needed a family car and boight the accord and been in love ever since.
You are better off. It's an old port injection and they actually liquid cool their batteries so it will last unlike cheap Nissan Leaf batteries.
@@ljpr360 Yeah it just seemed like a better idea than the turbo civic. Plus it's nice not having a transmission, I've just got the 1 overdrive gear. Auto transmissions have always been a weakness for Hondas.
So far I've narrowed down the meaning of 'arms circling in opposite directions' to:
'carbon'
'reliability'
'piston'
'camshaft'
- this is hard work!
Hilarious!
Lmao!
Me: * Likes the look of a modern car *
Scotty: DON'T BUY ANY MODERN CAR THEY ARE ALL ENDLESS MONEY PITS
David Alavidze get you an old frame and build a body m8 I believe in you.
Can’t buy a new car, can’t buy a used Mopar, ford, GM or any German car. No Nissan or Mitsubishi. Really you can only have two Scotty approved cars. Civic or celica
capella95 YES!!!! CIVICS ALL DAY
Everyone needs to buy a 1972 VW Super Beetle. Made to be fixed by an average human with two eyes for test equipment
Most are
I’ll just buy a brand new 1998 Honda Civic...
With these new cars, you would genuinely be much better off with a simple car with minimal electronic components. I just bought an AWD Honda Element myself. Easy to work on, cheap parts, good on gas. I'm happy.
Smart! What ya gonna do with all that leftover money you'll be having?
Yeah the whole reason I went with a Camry instead of an Accord was because of the Turbo. Did not want to be bothered with a Turbo malfunctioning and it become a headache.
Same
Same here ... no CVT transmission in my Camry either
Do you like the Camry? I have a 2018 SE Camry, and mine does not drive good. The transmission is rough.
I have a 2016 Camry Se special edition as my daily driver. I love it. The new ones are sweet looking but I hear alot of people not liking the 8 speed trans they come equipped with. Say it "wanders" too much.
Accord 2.0T w the 6sp manual is the better choice
*Honda has left the chat*
Scotty told us at a car show “If you positively never want any problems with your car, then buy a young horse”.
i love your photos in the upper right hand corner! they are always right on time....
Everyone’s getting more greedy and cheap these days
There’s also a lot more safety and emission requirements, more amenities expected by customers, and a price point to stay at. It’s expected unfortunately.
I don’t how you keep getting so many likes on your comments

My 2013 KIA Optima has the self-destructing GDI engine. KIA did a software update AND gave me a lifetime warranty. If my engine dies, they'll install a new one.That's the kind of warranty Honda should be giving.
Nobodys giving a lifetime warranty on an engine. Lol. Good one.
Seminole Fan Todd your lifetime warranty ends at 100,000 miles so does your cars worth.
Yup. Had to change the rings on my 2010 odyssey after the dealer wouldn’t do it. LEARNED ALOT on this DIY project!!!
Honda going to CVTs and 1.5L turbo engines was a big mistake on their part.
I miss the days when Honda had vetch without turbo, they were so reliable
@@hadikhan856 I know, right? I remembered looking at the Civic Si when they had that high revving 2.0L and a 6 speed MT. Those cars were simple, reliable, well made and free of gimmicks. The newer ones are objectively better, no doubt, but you have to wonder how long that 1.5T engine will last over time.
@@elusivellama Acura ILX has naturally aspirated 204hp 2.4L, but takes premium gas. Also my '17 smells like burnt oil if you step on it with a cold engine.
@@ryannayr140 I think it's the cat up front I smell it when I beat on mine. I love it its like having 3 different transmissions.
Naif M True, but I think Mazda suffers from carbon build up like many of the other companies implementing direct injection too sadly
2002 Honda Accord 260k plus miles it’s a 5 speed and I love it.
As long as it isn’t a V6 auto from the era
This video is going to make every 99 Civic double in price to $1000
Not rlly
Accord too
Runco990 santa Paula California is Civic heaven, also Miata heaven. Got my 99 Miata for 2k there
I bought a 97 coupe for 1000 and a 95 hatch for almost 1400 down here in texas I've seen some pretty good deals on em
most 99 civics in the uk. depending on the models go for 1500 upwards now..most with a 100k miles going for 2k + 😂😂. take the 1999 honda civic ek9 thats price here is 6 to 10 grand
I remembered back in the 1980's, turbos were a pain.
Good thing I bought a 2019 CRV with the old 2.4 liter engine.
My dealer gave me a limited lifetime warranty on the engine and drivetrain. Limited lifetime warranty?? Maybe they know something.
Thanks for the video. I’m new to your channel and have just watched 10 or so videos, they’re very informative and helpful. Please can you make a top 20 cars video when you have some time, new and old cars? I’ve tried to look through your channel it couldn’t find anything like that. Admirer of your channel from the UK.
The quality in everything is going down somewhat these days.
It's the upper managements......they want the Numbers. Every car HAS IMPROVED ALOT in Reliability and Styles. Look at FORD, JEEP, KIA and even Toyota improve Alot. Who wants to drive older car from the 80-90s years models ??????? I don't.
And the price goes up
@Brandon S yeah and spend asinine amounts of time trying to find a quality product
False.
@Commentor1 its investors boss they want more money
You could say that Honda's engineering quality... got a little diluted!
...
I'll just leave.
GOOD one
🤣🤣
Having owned a 2018 CR-V I can attest that oil dilution problem is a real problem and Honda will deny EVERYTHING and blame it on you. The fixes don't work and I pity anyone who buys one. Scotty, thank you for calling this problem and Honda out!
Just change your CRV oil at intervals matching when your string trimmer needs 2 stroke mix
I can see him slugging back a beer and doing a big rail in between camera shoots haha
Hahaha good one
🤣
Oh... my hell. You have me laughing my head off.
Toyota CorpInc Hahahaha 😂
Hell yeah. I'll join him. Other tbh an that I'm getting electric lem JK!
I got exactly this engine in my 2019 Civic, before I bought it I did extensive research on the subject and one thing is very interesting: While this engine is sold worldwide in the Honda line-up, oil dilution only occurs in North America and China. After some digging I also found out why: there is a "regular" version of the engine, which is sold in most countries, but it requires premium gas (only allows regular in emergency situations) and there is an "alternate" version of the engine sold in NA and China, it is tuned to run on regular gas all the time. It appears that the alterations needed to make it run well on regular gas also cause the oil dilution issue. Of course Honda knows that most Americans prefer regular due to price by a wide margin and it would cause a hit to their sales if they required premium fuel in their Civics and CRVs. On the other hand Europeans are very used to running premium fuel, most German manufacturers require it in their engines for 15+ years, a lot of gas stations over here don't even sell regular any more, so they can get away with requiring it, no problem at all.
So interestingly enough, I can buy the engine here in Europe without worrying about it and I have to say from a drivers perspective, it is a beautiful piece of machinery :)
What's the mileage on yours so far.
That's great info for us EU citizens!
@@elizabethhurley2845 it might be part of the reason... also most German car makers have invested a lot of time in perfecting Diesels, which were never big in the US obviously... another reason is that a lot of "German" cars for the US market are build either there or in Mexico and the production quality is just not up to the same standard as it is in the German factories.
yep 95octane in an accord eruo cl9. man it burns a hole in the wallet though about 15-17 cents more a litre on average.
Would it help my 2017 EXL CRV 1.5 L Turbo I bought here in NA if I used premium gas, even though the manual calls for regular.
Really enjoyed this review. Good job Scotty. I don’t always see eye to eye with you but this one was a good one.
Thank You sir...your wisdom is unappreciated in our modern times...
This is why I got the 2.0L naturally aspirate version of the 2019 civic.
Smart decision.
My brother in law have the 6 speed manual 2L with a Sport package
Wish I could get it in the Civic hatchback
@@1985toyotacamry nice, that's what I wanted but there weren't any in my state. Got the same setup but for the base LX trim.
The issue is overblown. I have the 17 si.
It’s a shame.
I’ve owned 4 Honda motorcycles, 1 Honda outboard motor, 2 Honda lawnmowers over the last 35 years. Honda needs to do better.
THE ONE are you dumb I’ve had a Honda lawnmower for over 30 years and it starts first pull and I only changed the oil once. You find any other lawnmower that last 30 years
@THE ONE I've still got mine running for over 15 years, you need to do your homework.
I have a Shadow and Rebel and they're the best bikes ever!
I'm sorry but I have to agree at least for the new mowers. Lasted me 1 and a half years before the bushings were so worn the gears were constantly slipping. Engine is good but honda definitely cheaper out and put bushings instead of bearings. Sad world we live in if Honda's aren't reliable😥😯
@Randy Jackson I hate to be the bearer of bad news and I know what you're talking about. Like you can get a honda motor on a craftsman mower. But unfortunately this was a full fledged honda smart drive. I'm so disappointed, I would even buy a more expensive one if that made a difference, but from what I've heard they have bushings too. The saving grace for them might be the larger gear and wheel size, allowing for more slop before slipping.
they're phasing out their 2.4 liter n.a. engine in favor of the 1.5 liter turbo...wish they wouldn't do that
Yes the K24 is the best engine Honda has ever made. It's a shame regulations for fuel economy pushed them to going away from it. A lot of this is being forced on them not something they want to do.
Chuck Kasualty Do like me and buy an Acura ILX with the good o’l 2.4 iVtec KA24 ;-) I love it with the DCT! Revy and sounds great!
Alex Vignola I’d go with the 9th gen civic si which also has the k24 and a 6mt ;)
Thank you to Creepy Joe, Nancy Piglosi, Upchuck Schumer, and AOC for saving the planet.🖕🇨🇳
Happy owner of a Civic Si 1.5 turbo here! Keeping the car for a long time so we'll see how the engine holds up! I follow Honda's suggestions for warming the engine up as much as possible when operating. Also driving manual to avoid CVT replacements! Still don't want a Toyota :)
1.5 turbo are terrible long term engines but I wish you luck
how's it running now? considering a car that also happens to be a 1.5 turbo but that is one of my main concerns about it
7:13 Scotty going wild😂
🤪
A honey badger!
Should be a ringtone.

Thanks scotty for my new text tone !
All car brands are becoming crap, including Toyota. There's no escaping it.
You're right my friend, it's ALL garbage nowadays
Well not some brands. Mazda is a huge example. They have almost perfected their vehicles since they split with Ford. But everything else as of what I know, garbage compared to 15 years ago.
too bad, japanese manufacturer also becoming like european manufacturer... create for short lifespan, so they can sell more new cars...
Brandon S When Mazda ranked top 3 for reliability but you bash em for reliability
Rellykz Ranked by who? Whoever got their wallet loaded the most?
I will drive my 02 civic till the wheels fall off lol. I attend to the check engine every now and then, the problem is usually under $500. The simpler the car, the simpler the maintenance💡😊
What drives me nuts is why Honda decided to use timing belts on some of their cars. I just finished doing mine. 6-8 hour job on my Honda
Toyota did too.....
I had to trade in the '16 Civic.There wasn't any engine issues but the AC went out right after 3 years, the body panels were denting in on themselves because they were so thin and flimsy (same places for all the civic owners), pleather ripping apart, etc. I'm eager to see how the stats look after CR compiles them.
A big problem is that cars are getting over complicated in order to meet government fuel standards.
Exactly.
To be fair, though, many consumers are also making fuel economy a priority in deciding which cars to buy, with or without the government requirements. Hard to tell how much that has affected the carmakers' decisions to make their designs so complicated.
I have a 2018 accord, the paint quality is poor. Honda also has really bad customer service in my experience.
I heard that they had started using "low friction " piston rings in these engines.
Ya , better fuel mileage but worse sealing of combustion chamber.
Most new cars have them.,..Kia does.
"Sometimes engineering goes too far in making things cheap"
Well, the cause of that problem can be summed up in three little letters - MBA.
No not the engineers it's the company that tells the engineers to make it cheap
@@robertbennett2796 That's what I said. It's the MBAs (i.e. the bean counters) who are responsible. (Boeing is a good example.) The engineers just want to make well-engineered products.
@@slappop7082 Amen. Those are the same people that are screwing up alot of companies nowadays.
@@robertbennett2796 Engineers design a part or device. Well paid bean counters decide how parts or devices are made and what materials to use. They are not interested in durability or dependability beyond the warranty period.

My 96 Honda Accord 2.2, best car I've owned! 292,000, and still runs great!
@@mrlucky793 You got unlucky
@@mrlucky793 The F22B 94-98 Accords are ridiculously reliable you just got unlucky, and it was probably lack of maintenance that caused it to fail. I've owned six of them, all with well over 200.000 kms on them. Never had an issue. Some I've seen have over 400.000 and still drive tight.
Pre 1997 Accords were bulletproof. Some 2006-2007 were tough too. 2014-2017 are mostly great, just not as reliable as the pre 1997 ones.
@@mrlucky793 I caught mine trying to overheat when one of the fans went bad at 180k, I pulled right over, so I just ordered both fans.
@@johnnymoran180 nice save. The only down falls of old hondas. If you let them overheat if u let the timing belt snap if u own a automatic transmission lol. Sometimes even the overheat wont kill them either as they had hmm idk just better headgaskets than newer civics.
I understand that the 2.0L naturally aspirated engine is still pretty solid as were its predecessors, e.g., the 1.8, 1.7, 1.6L. Interestingly, I noticed that Toyota has so far resisted the trend to turbocharge their engines. Moreover, what few Toyota engines have GDI still have an extra set of injectors in the intake manifold, ostensibly for emissions but we all know it's to keep the carbon off of the intake valves.
Good to know!!! I've been in the market for a used car and the Civic was on my list. Will definitely make sure to avoid the one with the 1.5T. Keep up the great work, Scotty!
Is it for cvt or manual or both in general?
@@JonathanPunti Apparently it's both unfortunately. :(
2WhiteAndNerdy aww man, but thank you for the feedback!
I just got a '11 accord V6 with like just 100k miles on it. Great car, comfy, fast as hell and got tint and alloy wheels added on it
Damn I feel bad for Honda. And this is coming from Toyota enthusiasts
It's not about Honda or toyota but every car manufacturers because of all the safety and emissions regulations, all the electronics in cars are too much these days
I don’t feel bad for Honda. Honda had a good thing going with their cars. Their cars were fuel efficient and reliable until they went direct injection and turbo.
@@EVOLUTIONEURO yep. But they're like everyone else and struggling to keep up with the emissions and fuel economy requirements.
Yeah bro i also feel bad about you guys having an engine made by BMW in your newest Supra...thats BLASPHEMY..
They have naturallly aspirated engine alternatives.
God, I Miss 90's Cars.....Engineering and Quality were just awesome, especially for Honda's.
Sad days.
Even GM and Ford back then were making decent cars ( B body and Panther platform) and fantastic affordable trucks. Chrysler was still garbage.
Yep, had a 91 explorer kept it 23 years @ 152000 Can't say I only did oil changes and brakes but overall pretty good compared to the maintenance I am doing these days with cars that only have 70000
Love my 99 civic!
Bought a Honda Civic Del Sol new in 1993 and still drive it. Not interested in anything else!
Good tip there @ the end about being wary of GDI + turbo engines. 👍
Scotty today reiterates that even though you go to school and get a degree in engineering doesn't mean you are as smart as you think you are.
Nothing beats experience over schooling. Doesn't matter WHAT industry you're in.
Yes it even applies to Life itself~!!
Love my 2013 Honda Civic. 115000 + mi kept up schedule maintenance, oil changes, replaced the battery at 96000 mi, brakes at 114000. Decades of buying UAW built vehicles and consent expensive repairs I'm glad I finally changed.
It's a damn shame to hear this. Honda owned the 90's...
@Grieg Ragen they still make one of the most reliable low maintenance motorcycles
Honda owned the 90's? hahaahah What world are you living in?
Consider the source
I had the Kawasaki 500 Mach111. You could hear air whistleling by the fuel cap. Needed to tighten things up after every ride (if it had not fallen off) and you would plan your journey so you would not have to negotiate any sharp corners, but it was fun.
CR-V, Altima, Camry. These are just some of the NEWEST cars I was looking at last year to replace my 2015 Mazda 3 (still running solid). So glad I didn't given your latest videos, Scotty. Thanks!
Who needs Edmunds or Motor Trend when we have Scotty!
Exactly! If it were it up to them, everyone would own an AR Giulia... I wish more people listened to Scotty
I think Scotty is 67? So we will need Scotty, Jr.
Lol exactly
miller forester lol
I'm avoiding a GDI engine and CVT transmissions
Very easy to change honda CVT tranny fluid..oil change is easy too..saves me $75...and $160
Why avoid them??
@@juliosanchez933 WATCH THE VIDEO!!! He explains it all!!
Not all CVTs are created equal.
Honda CVT's arent the same ones nissan used. i have one in my 2015. its a great little car.
“ Earth dreams have turned into an Earth nightmare “ 😂😂😂 Scotty rocks..
They got better. Though
Good advice. Thanks, now I can pass it onto others.
Sure am glad I learned and applied all those preventive maintenance tips I learned from Scotty on my 2004 Accord.
Toyota made the wise choice and stayed with a non-turbo V6 in their Camry, unlike the Accord.

Another good video and advice from Scotty. Honda never attracted me anyway. Always sat too low to the ground with that wishbone suspension.
That's why I got the Civic type-r. Zero dilution, 100% reliability and fun!
I got the Type R just for the fun part!
@@ryant114 I hear that! Cars a great daily driver, everyday driver, and all around fun car to drive. I have a 2018 and I'm almost at 22,000 mi and the car runs great. Zero regrets....
@@djs18 Just got my 2019 in August. My only problem is I wish they would've gone with 18s or 19s instead of 20s. I love the rims but the risk of bending a rim sucks.
@@ryant114 lol The only advice I can give you, is avoid every single hole in the road like the AIDS virus and you'll be fine.
Been trying to find answers everywhere online. Can anyone confirm that the type r doesnt have this problem? From what ive seen, only the 1.5 liter engines are having this problem
Nooo not Honda:/
Accords are fine.
@@Trapster99 We're not getting those in the UK anymore. 😭
I have a civic and I love it.
tikogto how many miles?
Even toyotas quality is going down
The industrial engineers and cost cutters are killing Honda and other car companies. And I'm a Honda guy.
Next video “The end of Reliability”
Hey Scotty... Really enjoy your videos, and respect your opinion.. I own a 2013 Honda Accord with a 4 cyl. engine that has right at 60k miles on it.. The Started has gone out twice, and I have replaced it both times with original type starter... This does seem to be a flaw with these years of accords, and was wondering if there is a better (Year or Brand) starter that is being made that is more reliable than the original Honda starter..
May Scotty live forever ! As long as there is TH-cam he will!

He warned about the earth dream engines, I think the 2.0 is solid
@@swingonthespiral Is the 2.o engine in the new 2020 CRV
Step 1) make a good product.
Step 2) market the fact that you have good quality
Step 3) sell cheaply made products for excessive amounts based on history.
They still make a base model Civic with a K20 NA motor. Should still be ultra reliable
Thanks for calling attention to this issue, Scotty. A lot of people are getting hosed by Honda and the company is indifferent at best. It sucks they're getting away with it.
That's sad to hear. We've seen a lot of these at the track, and they're really capable cars. Hoping they figure this out.
Best explanation of the Honda fuel in oil fiasco yet. Only thing software fix did was increase idle revs on cold engine to warm it up faster. Only solution: more frequent oil changes. Sell the car before 50k miles.
Have a 2017 CRV, with very light usage. Have 9,000 miles on it and have had two oil changes. Sent the oil out for analysis, found 2% by volume fuel in the oil, which was deemed by the lab as not abnormally high. They also analyze metals in the oil and surmise, no abnormal engine ware. But I will stay on top of this issue.
Next weeks episode: I love Honda!
"Well.. their "Earth Dream" has kinda turned into an "Earth.. NIGHTMARE!""
That made me laugh.
I am still driving a 5-speed 1992 Civic DX i love it :)
Great video. I have a Honda Accord and noticed problems with alternators at 77k miles. Additionally, I had more repairs than my 2005 Mercedes Benz 240.
You have a lemon....that's not normal...but every company has bad years or their models
Honda creating turbocharged engines is not the best idea. Should have kept everything naturally aspirated.
Swaggy Jay they almost had to go turbo.
Foot pedal 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Raw power is what Honda should've stick with.
Costumers who only look at MPG when buying a car disagree~
I have a 2019 Honda Accord Sport, with 6 speed manual transmission with the 1.5T. It gets 42 MPH on the highway - in a vehicle that weighs 4400 pounds. This engine runs like a dream. I obliviously haven't had an issue at such low mileage, time will tell. However, this Honda is the best car I have ever driven. My car is blowing heat in like 2 minutes, its at temp in 5-10 minutes in the cold.
I remember my 96 Accord coupe EX so very well. That little 4 banger V-TEC was indestructible mated to that 5 speed stick. And the V-TEC was worth 10 huge ponies over the regular 16 valve engine back then. A nice looking car too in Frost White with "privacy glass". But what ever happened to industries making what the customer wanted with reliability ? I knew a Honda tec that made great money servicing those Honda's from that era even tho they were as reliable as they were. Now they need more than just proper service and nobody wants to bring them in for repair.
Thanks Scotty you’re a great teacher
Instead of buying a 1.5t Civic, my mother scooped up a 2015 Accord with the proven 3.5L J-series V6.
Sometimes the old ways are best.
Mom deff got a good deal on that
Ryan Mom is smart! I went and bought that same year and model last summer. Naturally aspirated and runs Luke a dream so far!
Uggggh!! Wish I had done as your Mom did. Flashback...Dec. '17 while car shopping, it came down to a '16 Accord Touring with a V6, low mileage for $29k or a new '18 CRV EX-L with the 1.5t for $30k. Decided to go for "new" and now have buyers remorse. Doing oil changes with Amsoil at 6k mi. intervals and sending off oil sample to Blackstone to monitor dilution percentage. I'm at 40k miles and oil dilution avg has been at 1.5%. Moral of this story is to always follow Ryan's Mom's decision!
The 3.5 V6 Honda engine is incredible. Just make sure to change the timing belt at recommended intervals. If you do, they last for many hundreds of thousands of miles.
You can still get a Civic Sedan/Coupe with a naturally aspirated engine, and with a manual transmission.
Yup, 2017 Civic LX with the NA 2.0 liter and 6 speed manual still super reliable
Definitely! Got my 2020 Civic Sport Sedan with the manual transmission and 2.0 naturally aspirated port injected engine 👍🏻
The 2016 naturally aspirated ones with a manual should still be alright
Love your posts Scott
Scotty, great video. Thank you sir.
