Rip EVS, we are great full you are gone
Soooo, which would you buy, the NEW Camry or Honda same year ??
@scottykilmer Please review the new Hyundai Elantra 2.0L gas 2021-2024. They have ivt transmission and atkinson engine.
They changed things after issues.🎉
hybrid cars' batteries suffer the same danger as any other electric vehicle. I can show you many TH-camrs trying to save those batteries for conversions. Or, you just research about it. Scotty. Floods are no good to any car unless it is built as a boat like in the navy
I have a serious question, in my country there are no japanese cars dealerships, I love TOYOTA but Unfortunately I can't buy one, what car should I buy??
As the owner of this particular honda accord that was reviewed I have to be honest and say I've never had more fun in a car while also being relatively economical. The Camry cheer leading reminds me of team AMD vs Team Intel. The truth is that both are probably fantastic cars and do the job well enough. After that it's simply a matter for personal preference.
That is what a lot of people are saying. I just want a simple car that doesn't have a lot of electronics that will cost you an arm and a leg to fix.
@@partain2000 well thats unfortunately just not a reasonable thing to want anymore since none are built that way.
@@partain2000 Me too, I hate all the worthless crap put in cars that nobody really needs, Its all about marketing, a month after you've bought the vehicle you realize most of these things you won't even use, Its all about the thrill of the sale, the latest thing to show and impress friends and family, this stuff costs a fortune to fix, that's why they sell you the extended warranty which ups the payment even more. The more you have the more there is to go wrong, its really that simple.
@@partain2000 2005 or 2007 Mazda6
I'm particularly curious how expensive the upkeep is 5-10 years from now. Expensive car to begin with so I imagine if something wears out it'll be expensive.
I have a 2019 Accord Hybrid, and it's fantastic. I've gotten as much as 55mpg on a long highway trip, with the air conditioner running the whole time. Love it !
do you reset the MPG's like i do?
they can easily get 50+ mpg as long as you use smaller wheels less than 19inch
Ac on or off makes no difference, remember Scotty said no belts. A/C is not engine driven but electric
@JunkyJeeMailhow so? Trip reset?

They killed the gas version for 2025, its hybrid only now
ill take a fiat 200 over camry everyday
Poor quality and excessive price will kill it.
The lexus ES 350 OR ES 300 H will lol and the best part is there double the price of the camry too lol 😂🎉😅
That's just Scotty laying on the drama, as he is prone to do at times. 😅😅😅
Will be turning seventy five in about a week.... Been considering putting aside my 2004 Civic EX (with stick)... Thinking now in terms of the last car I may drive here on earth... Scotty, has just shown me something to seriously to consider. Thank you Scotty... Beautiful car!
Good luck in your next planer
Keep the stick.
Happy birthday 🎉❤ God Bless, try go another seventy five...
Buy a Volvo.
Give it a go why not.
This looks like Honda's F1 technology and combined electric/gas usage is funneling down into production cars. It took them a few years to perfect the tech when they reentered F1 but now their power plant (Red Bull/Verstappen) is almost untouchable. Good on you Honda! I do need to preface this praise for Honda. Our last seven vehicles have been Hondas.
It crazy how e-motor's been used in F1 race cars years before the first prius.
F1 technology? Not in this one. Maybe the turbo 4
@@Offshore1977 The reason for the F1 comment. Seems like this is the first hybrid that will allow power management based on need. If you want or need performance beyond the ecco mode, the system seems capable of combining electric and gas power to provide enhanced performance. If the system is a true combined use/on demand use, that is F1 flexibility. I don't know that other hybrids have offered that flexibility.
I’ve had over 20 Honda’s, all fantastic no problems
Would that not be a postface?😁
Oh no, Scotty please tell me the car industry is not shocked again
so shocked its on life support
We'll all be riding e bikes in another 4 yrs. Except the well-off.
He can't - he's mad as hell
This might be the last video we see from Scotty, again.
You guys all beat me to it 😂
I own the accord 2023 EX-L hybrid took it on my first road trip 1700 miles on the total trip. When filled to full car shows 600 miles to empty. Start of trip I reset the mileage count for trip to see what the true miles would be. Got 546 miles before I had to fill up. Live in Minnesota and it costs $32 to fill up near my house. My car has 17,480 miles on it and it shows that I’ve gotten 51.4 miles per gallon. Love this car
Over $50 to fill up my 08 Lexus SUV hybrid. Absurdity.
If you can't pay, don't plat.
Don't play
Full electric is a horrible idea. Hybrid is the way to go
For now.
Yes you are absolutely right.
Hybrid is the worst of both technologies. All the maintenance and all the complexities.
@@frankspeciale5071👍Especially in the Gaza Strip.
hybrid great til it needs a repair, and/ or battery, which won't be cheap.
They put turbo in the new 4Runner. Goodbye reliability and longevity.
Exactly my thoughts as well
Gotta tinker with a tried and true platform because of govt
I’m hearing Toyota is having a lot of issue with there new trucks
I will keep my 2004 SR5 4x4, I knew Toyota would tinker the 4runner to death.
Toyota's been building reliable turbos longer than anyones.
@@whowantstoknow8492they are.. a lot of main bearing failures on the tundras…
there are new oils that have come out to deal better with these engines. I think so anyway. Even Scotty has mentioned this before. especially if its toyota or honda it should be fine.
Scotty was hating on hybrids not too long ago now he’s seen the light lol
For every anti hybrid video he had one for it.

If you can't get 130k miles out of a car that costs close to 50k, I wouldn't own it
Warranty + factory is 10 years 150k miles. Cost was 35k all in before financing costs. Seems like it fits your criteria
Don’t buy GM then !!
How did you arrive at 130? Why not a more common reference of 150?
That's all? $25k and 200k miles is my bottom line. $50k? Better be amazing!🤨
400,000 miles in my 2009 Corolla. ONLY blew a head gasket. Decided a used engine because it was cheaper to put in than the HG repair. I'm at 564,000 miles now. Oh, and, I replaced a noisy transmission at 520,000. Toyota or Honda? Pure coin toss. Although, mine always comes up up Toyota. I just bought a '23 Tacoma.
I have booth a 23 Camry V6 and 23Accord Hybrid. Camry looks better Accord is roomier, Camry V6 rocks Accord MPG is almost double, Camry is faster accord is quieter etc. etc. good and bad things on both. Camry 41k Accord 33.5 on my particular trims.

Love the car but... There's no way I'm going to go into debt for a car anymore. Don't have that kind of disposable cash either.
idk why everyone thinks this accord is ugly. I didn't think it was as nice as the 10th gen at first but it's grown on me and looks so good now.
Wym it's uglier in person

I have a '24 CR-V Hybrid Sport Touring with the same hybrid system as this Accord and I routinely get 40 mpg on average (because it's much heavier than this Accord). The vehicle is super smooth and the hybrid system is seamless; even the regenerative braking feels natural. I'm very happy with it. My first "non-100% gasoline" vehicle ever. Charging an EV or plug-in hybrid is a pita. Filling up my CR-V takes a couple minutes and could go for 500+ miles and could go across the country without worrying about where to charge.
My sentiments exactly.I have the same CR-V you have, bought November last year. It checks all the boxes. I had been thinking about an all EV and glad I ducked that bullet. Couldn't be happier with Honda and the products they produce.
I have a NX 350h and will never go back to gas engine only. It’s smooth, refined, quiet. 240 hp isn’t slow but ain’t fast - passing is not a pain. Toyota reliability is why I chose it over Honda.
Scotty you knocked it out of the park always glad when you cover the bases as to maintenance and how long a car will last. I told my wife on our last purchased NO TURBOS so with that said simplicity is good but that Honda Hybrid technology is very good, especially no plugging in and the battery away from the element. Thankyou I value your opinion so highly.
My 2024 accord hybrid sport died one week after purchase. Honda said the battery was bad and they have to replace it! 395 miles on the odometer. This car will not work if the battery dies.
Thanks, Scotty ! The EX-L model is rated at 51 mpg and 44 due to 17 inch wheels rather than 19 inch on the Sport and Touring models.
Prompt your editor to place time stamps, on your videos. Much appreciated, keep up the excellent work Scott.
I honestly don’t get the hate behind how it looks. It’s not that bad.
You’re easy to please.
That's just it- it's too boring. Not ugly, not anything special
It's really conservatively styled
Tried to get my wife excited about it. Ended up getting a toyota instead
I like the 2005 Mazda6 i sport styling from all angles the front looks like a shark this Accord is too round shaped.
No manual option killed the everything for me. Even the Corolla dropped the manual.
I absolutely love my 03 Accord EX. It’s a manual with a k24 and 5mt. Would love to have one of these! Saw a few in California and they look great.
One of the dumb trends today is to remove the spare tire. Now it is even on economic cars like Honda. I'm glad my Audi still comes with a spare tire.
Yea, weird, I’ve always needed a spare at some point in every vehicle I’ve owned.
Most cars in Japan comes without spare tire. They come with tyre repair kit that keeps it working until you get to a shop to puncture fix.
@@AbidAli-bo8sv that is the case today. Back in the older days, I had a full steely spare tire on my Corolla and on my Miata. Yes, a weight conscious sport car came with a spare tire!
@@jamsbong 30lb spare tire isnt going to make a difference, thats why its there in a "weight conscious sport car". Roughly 100 pounds weight reduction equals .1 second difference (10th of a second) in a quarter mile. Weight is not nearly a factor in speed until you're actually on the track racing for time and every tenth or even hundreth of a second counts. Thats why like a 5,600 pound Maybach is still able to go 0-60 in under 4 seconds. Cause power > weight. Granted your Miata has like 2 cylinders under the hood.
The battery is where the spare goes in gasoline-only models

Hey Honda, what’s with not having a spare tire?
Every vehicle I’ve owned had a flat tire & not having one is a safety issue.
You are going to have to go to the dealer and order a full spare I keep one in the trunk of my Honda .If you are talking about the doughnut tire I would get rid of it .
A spare tire should be a standard safety feature.
Toyota has lost my business over a lack of a spare.
I would possibly save up to $800 a year in fuel, driving 9,000 miles per year, and probably loose half of the purchase price in five years. So in five years save maybe $3-4,000 and loose maybe $17,500. I'm a mechanic too, it's so inexpensive driving old vehicles. I wish I had a new car but I have never bought one because it doesn't make sense to waste money.
Most people drive 12-15000 miles a year.
I bought a 2018 Honda Accord Hybrid for 23,700 Out the door (sticker was 28XXX). sold it last year with 40k miles for 20k. Cheapest vehicle to own/maintain that I have ever had. Only got rid of it because I needed more room and ability to tow a car trailer.
Neither the Accord nor the Camry lose 50% of their value in 5 years.
Check out the Elantra and sonata it’s the poor man’s new reliable car
Former mechanic and I do the same thing.
I love this Accord, but I just don't like the simple look. I don't know why they decided to move away from the aggressive look from 2017 - 2022.
Seems like a lot of complexity to go wrong to only get 44 mpg . Honda cvcc cars in the 70s could do get the same mpg with simplicity and reliability
Those were tiny, very light cars with zero safety features other than seatbelts.
And no power.
Now Scotty is pushing Extended Warranties???? Damn Scotty, put down the blunt brother.
Good mechanic advice from Scotty about a new Honda hybrid Accord! Thanks Scotty and the birds singing in the background made my day!😊
I have the same engine in my UK Honda. They don't have a cvt gearbox. Its a software thing where the engine SOUNDS like it's changing gear but it's not. Only gear is when you get to , about, 50 and there is a direct coupling where the petrol engine can do all the work. Its an amazing system.
This high tech sounds great but what about the durability and longevity of the new Accords and Camrys?
The same is said about any technology. I think sometimes you have to trust the nerds, and if I'm going to trust nerds I'm going to trust Japanese ones
I dont know about Honda anymore, my 2021 2.0t has already overheated at 23k miles and at 25k my ECM is failing to communicate to the rest of the vehicle.
big oooof. I sold my 2017 Civic coupe 1.5 turbo at 80k miles and it had zero issues. I would have kept it longer if I didnt need 4 doors
@@jackmemphis7771.5 blowing head gaskets
Sooo, just how did the Accord kill the Camry????? Seems to me they are about the same except the Camry hybrid (you do know the Camry comes as a hybrid?) doesn't use clutches that can wear out. As I remember the Camry gets better mileage at 51 or 52 MPG and has more HP from a larger engine. Uses an Atkinson engine and has AWD available. Camry has 10 years of warranty on the hybrid system (best hybrid system around, 20+ years) and battery with 100,000+ on the latter, FOR FREE!! And it has a spare tire!
You're right, was the Camry was even mentioned? Also rave reviews for the 25 Camry are coming out and I'm eager to see if Honda can push the lowest trim Accord Hybrid's MSRP below $30k like Toyota did. A key difference between the two (for my needs) is the extra 1.6cuft of trunk in the Accord. Which is - hmmmmm - roughly the size of a spare tire?
All Camry's now are hybrids only.
No spare tires, no back vents!! Lower hp than the Camry!! Definitely not better than the Camry
scotty is right on today, the new camry 2025 is only a hybrid with a cvt
eCVT. Learn the difference then come back.
Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
It has no transmission. Very well engineered . The gas engine is very refined and quiet. Sport models have a firm but complaints ride. Great car for the money
The auto manufacturer doesn’t warranty the tire. The tire company does that.
it was actually IAS, tire and wheel insurance. I bought both the extended warranty and tire and wheel because of the low profile tires. Already paying for itself in potholeachusetts.
The 25 camry is now hybrid with awd option which just put a nail in the coffin of the accord. The hybrid accord owners aren't even getting 40mpg. Glad I have the 2 liter 10 speed accord the quickest accord ever made.
Watched this video from the beginning to the end, still don't understand how the new Honda accord just killed the Camry. Maybe Scotty was saying the new 2024 Accord just killed the 2004 Camry?
The 2024 Accord puts the batteries inside the car for protection from road salt. Not like Toyota Camry that has the vehicle batteries outside of the vehicle that road salt can get to them and destroy them.
Good old Scotty and his flair for theatrics
He needs clicks
I just bought a 2024 Accord Sport L and I love driving it. I traded my 2014 Accord Sport, which I’ve loved for 10 years and treated me so well with almost zero issues. I plan on keeping the new one for 10 years also. I wondered if I should’ve gotten a Venza but I don’t like the way SUVs drive. Scotty’s review made me feel really smart 😅😂
Save your self $2700 and get a regular accord...oh wait honda only offers their 1.5 engine that had many problems. Seems like you cant save money regardless if you get a hybrid or a 1.5 liter engine. Not sure if Honda thought very long with their current Accord.
I'm on track to save over 3000 per year in gas from the hybrid so I don't really agree with you.
@@EpTyrannical how much do you drive and what car do you compare it to? I have a non-hybrid car, i live in Germany where gasoline is almost double the price in America drive over 20 000 kms a year and the total of my gas costs are 2000 dollars per year at most
This Accord it breathtakingly dull. Boring and really non inspiring. They could have done so much more modern and cutting edge. Instead cheapo out.
@@nikolarumenov1335 I've put 9k miles on it since February. I do some ride share to make some extra money on top of my day job during nights and weekends
This Honda doesn't use that oil dilution engine 🤦 (1.5 turbo)

So many have hated on the redesign of this Accord and I couldn’t disagree more . I think Honda did a great job with this generation!
I just bought one 3 weeks ago. As far as modern cars and comfort goes I’m very impressed with this car. I’m getting close to 50 mpg and the interior room is great. This car is so smooth and comfortable.
Well, the 2025 Camry is an all-new design. I was sold on the new Accord until I saw the new Camry.

@@nickt6980 Yeah, I'm not happy about the CVT. But almost every car has one these days.

For $2,700.00 if the engine it self blow's up that alone would cover the cost for the extended warranty.

24 Accord Sport L owner here, I paid 1900 for my 11 year warranty, you HAVE to negotiate with the dealer
They sold you an extra warranty for $1900? LOLOLOLOL. The factory warranty covers everything! You will never use it.
@@milfordcivic6755 not for 11 years they won’t. And I probably won’t use but it’s the peace of mind for me. It’s only 1900. 1 or 2 repairs could cover the cost I paid.
Tell me about the warranty , I’d like to learn about it and how to negotiate it,
I have a 2017 Honda Accord hybrid since 2018. I think it has the same hybrid system. 2 electric motors eCVT. 2.0l gas engine. Got Almost 190k miles still drives great. 42 to 44 mpg. No major issues. First time I changed the brake pads was a couple years ago at over 130k miles. The car was Made in Japan. Probably one of the best car/decisions/purchase I made.
Edit...
Cons.1. smaller trunk
2. can't flip down any of the backseats. But i think they fix that in later models..
Pros are so many...
Stick with the 2.5L 8 speed camry. You only break even on the hybrid at 100k miles. It makes no sense with the extra trouble they can bring.
I agree. Also they are pushing the I4 turbo engine now. The V6 will last 200-300,000 miles. A turbo engine will last 100-150,000 miles. The gov. is pushing improved mpg, but no savings in the long run when they last half as long. Not better for the environment either.
On the Ford Escape Plug-In Hybrid, they claimed that they needed to remove the spare tire in order to accommodate all the battery stuff. But if you buy the same car in Canada, it comes with the spare tire under the floor in the back. The car specs are otherwise identical. Soooeo…….
Scotty I am concerned about the VCT transmissions... There are nothing but problems.. Ford has vct transmission also fails... And so many other dealers... Different makes are also failing
The history with Honda has been bad transmissions.... I have experienced 2 hondas with those transmission problems so I just stopped bying hondas... Help...
honda leads in recalls, n problems. hyundai n kia better, n giving honda n toyota a good run for their $$.
Honda Hybrid accords and Hybrid CRVs don’t have transmissions. They call it an eCVT but they should go away from calling so. It gives the appearance that Honda hybrids have CVT type transmissions. It’s an electric motor that is propelling the car forward and backwards. The gas engine 😮drives the main axel only after the car is going about 60+ miles per hour. The engine is basically either charging the battery or spinning a generator that in turn supplies power to the electric motor.
You need to read more of a good articles on technology…but you are getting closer and closer…@@gizmotechk
@@gizmotechk Partly true: the base LX and EX models are conventional 1500cc turbo-charged engines with conventional CVTs, while the Sport, EX-L, Sport-L, and Touring are 2L Atkinson engines with "Series Hybrid" transmission (no CVT), meaning that the motor charges the battery and the battery with inverter drives the wheels via the motors. (That's what was happening in Scotty's demo ride). One of the motors acts as a generator in regen (decel) mode. Lastly, with the Honda series-hybrid configurations, there is a specific speed range where the engine locks to the wheels (no transmission, just a full 1:1 lock) for max economy. It's only a narrow range, because the Atkinson cycle engine is only efficient in a narrow range, but it's still good. I don't remember what the speed range is, off-hand, but if I remember correctly it's in the medium-high end cruise range.
I have and love the Honda Clarity, which is the plug-in hybrid. Everything is the same as the regular hybrid except that the battery is bigger, knocking down the gas tank capacity to 7 gals, but giving you up to about 48 miles of electric range in warm weather. Obviously it has a charger built in, and obviously it can run as a regular hybrid, but it's a waste to do so, as the mileage you get in pure EV mode is insane if most of your travel is around town. In fact the computer actually runs the engine once in a while whether you ask it to or not, just to keep the bearings lubricated and prevent the gas from getting stale. The clarity also has a charge mode, where you can put a few miles back into the battery for driving the last few stop-and-start miles of a long interstate journey in full EV mode, where that mode really shines.
@@sumtinwong-jx9zukia engines blowing up all over the place look up their engine issues.
I get a modern Honda Accord for the looks, drive features & decent reliability. And I get a Toyota Camry for only the reliability.
You're in the minority concerning the looks with the Honda. They goofed with that latest fastback styling and the 2018-2024 Camrys far, far outsold Accords over the same time. Look around most any city's roads. Not too many fastback Accords around. Camrys are everywhere.
@@frankanderson4176 Most Hondas I see of the last gen are people red lining them, doing 85mph and thinking they are Formula 1 driver. They are killing their Honda's as it is not meant for that sort of driving.
Proud owner of a 2024 Accord Touring. Factory warranty is 5 years/60,000 for the powertrain and 8 years/100,000 miles for the battery. Car is very efficient yet lots of fun and zippy like Scotty says, not to mention very comfortable. Plan to keep it for a very long time.
Same here! I have it in this red too. Been enjoying it so much more than I expected, absolutely love the car
Great video Scotty! As a multiple Honda product owner over the years, I have to say that this car, however, is butt ugly! The styling is reminiscent of a 1980s Chevy Citation. It has all the expression of a middle aged insurance salesmen. Time to get some new designers!
We had a C-Max hybrid for 4 years. It accelerated very well, did really well on fuel and we only put a set of tires on it plus the small battery.
But I didn’t like the CVT transmission. We live in the mountains of Tennessee and it struggled
CVT is trash
The most impressive solution for better fuel economy, is the manual transmission.
My 2008 Honda Accord with 209k miles is a turbo 4 & it’s not given me any troubles. Keep thinking, may be this year I’ll buy a new car but then when I drive it, I’m like WTF for! Sure, it’s got a few cosmetic issues but it’s saving me $$$$$
Cvt trans and turbochargers are crap and trouble .
Then buy a Honda hybrid - they have neither :-)
I believe it has an eCVT which is better than any automatic transmission by a country mile!
@@henryhonda8408 True, it's a relatively simple and very reliable design.
@henryhonda8408 yeah my Toyota have it too and it's super great 👌🏼
ECVT transmissions have virtually nothing in common with a conventional CVT transmission. Except for planetary gears there totally different
My 2013 BMW 328d AWD wagon gets 45 mpg city, 51 mpg highway at 67mph. No hybrid nonsense, no batteries. And the Beemer has over 700 mile range on the highway.
We rented one of these 2 months ago. The best mileage was 35 MPG on the highway. We were driving the speed limit. It cost of the hybrid was not worth the extra cost. Highway road noise was noticeably founder then our 2015 Hyundai Sonata.
2024 Honda Accord Sport owner. I get 620 on a tank of gas (when I don't drive exceeding fast) normal driving is 500ish miles and $38 bucks to fill to full. One of the coolest cars I've driven in a while. Only problem is the suspension. Rides hard but bearable.
Great information as always Scotty!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I have the same 2024 hybrid sport and only get about 475 miles of range with a full tank
Scotty did you buy a trump bible and golden sneakers?
Been considering this car. Thank you for the recommendation.
Prices of new cars now , I be driving my 22 year old Subaru outback for quite awhile, because I can't afford a new car.
Extended warranties can be good but I think it is bull crap that you have to pay a $500-$1000 deductible to actually get anything fixed usually on top of paying for the warranty.
No thank you, I’ll keep my regular gas Camry at 300k runs just fine.
Every car with a 4 cylinder and a turbo- blows balls. A V6 is where it's at.
OK, I have a Rav4 Hybrid here in Ontario Canada, and yes the salt has already ruined the hybrid cable (6K repair), I took less than 3 years. As Scotty would say, "run" from any hybrid vehicles if you live in the salt belt.
still not impressed-small cars in the 90's can get 40ish mpg(automatics) with better trans gearing.
But those cars don't have all the safety and tech stuff and comfort of the newer cars.
This is a midsize car getting 46 Miles to the gallon. What more do you need to be impressed?
The Prius Prime is a plug in hybrid and it gets 110+ mpg.
@@timmy-wj2hc Prius is not a midsize car.
@@WALTERBROADDUS And today's midsize outsizes a 'full size' car from the 90's
I own the 23 model, phenomenal car. I get 41-42 mpg because I do mostly highway miles, but on normal roads I’ve seen as high as 50-60mpg for that trip
But Scotty!
Doesn't this Accord have one of those hated CVTs?
EVs don’t have a transmission
Honda cvt are the most reliable.
Look at a CVT tranny real close they are bulletproof unless you match it a stupid powerful engine.
@@Michael-yi4mc this isn't a pure EV
@@therealgeorgegervinjr.2364 ask Scotty that and sure he will disagree. I have seen Honda cars' cvt disintegrated.
Before u poop ur britches Scotty, check out the 2025 Camry!
I bailed on Honda in 2014 when they put the CVT in it. Don't want a turbo either.
The introduction of the earth dreams 1.5 turbo engine with oil dilution problems was the end of Honda's reliability 🗑️
Turbo is okay....CVT.....is the worse....
@@lazynow1 To me, a turbo is just one more thing that can break when the car starts getting a lot of miles on it.
The new Accord Hybrids have neither.
@@stevehoppenjan It has a CVT
perhaps the gazoline engine is not stressed but i reallize that when you require that thermic engine to move the car it is when the engine is cold and most of the time you want to accelerate harder than with the EV only. So the engine is wearing out faster because it never reaches its correct temperature
Many newer cars are using a lighter tensioned set of piston rings as well, which, when coupled with turbocharging, increases oil burn and fuel/oil contamination.
I test drove this beauty of a car. And I’m between this and the 24’ Toyota Prius. I’m leaning towards this Honda. A first Honda for me if I follow through.
I'd get the Honda bro
Buy American, You'll Be Much Happier! Japanese Is Garbage Unless It's Nissan The Nissan Are Excellent
@@thefordshopyard5348you're new to this Chanel to say that
This guy is trying to fuup, but anyway… take a look at the 2025 Camry- it’s bigger than the Prius and almost the same gas mileage
@@thefordshopyard5348fuck no lmao I’ll never buy American . I work at a dealer and all the mechanics work on are American lol the new sierras have transmisión problems at 25k miles .. lol
The paddles on the steering wheel aren’t for shifting; they are for adjusting the regenerative braking.
How much will the batteries cost?
Honda batteries last hundreds of thousands of miles
@@ishkaranbrar313 good. Great if they really do that well in the variable climate in the US.
After having watched all of Scotty’s videos, I can now watch it on mute and still get most of what he’s saying from his sign language. Much respect to you Scotty from Saudi Arabia ❤
No start/stop on a hybrid car
Huh? Do you mean stopping engine at a temporary stop, such as traffic lights? Yes, they do. Or did I misunderstand you?
The Toyota Prius doesn't run the gasoline engine all the time and I am sure the Honda doesn't either. Otherwise it wouldn't average 46MPG. That means it probably will get 54-55 MPG HI way only. Our 2007 Prius matched that mileage number almost exactly. I got 54 MPG hiway driving Ga to FL 285 miles one way driving 65-75 MPH.
@@hollisrogers599 My Prius, which is a 2013, runs the engine all the time it needs to deliver torque. Yes, the engine stops when the vehicle is at a halt, but the electrical torque delivery systems is only able to run the vehicle at less than about 12 mph, and for no more tan about a quarter of a mile, maybe a half. The engine starts again as soon as I pull away.
The mileage you get, as do I, isn't a function of intermittent operation of the engine in a regular hybrid; it's a function of a) the aerodynamic shape, b) the low rolling friction tires, and c) the energy recovery system of the hybrid system.
In contrast to the Prius, my 2021 Honda Clarity, which is a plug-in hybrid with a much more powerful electrical powertrain (same as the hybrid Accord discussed here, except for a 1500cc engine rather than the 2L engine of the Accord, but a much bigger battery) can run easily at 80 mph and go for 45 miles (though not necessarily at the same time) from a full charge in full EV mode.
Listened to you got a hybrid instead of full hybrid. Got extended warranty for a Venza.
I still wouldn't get the extended warranty. I purchased a 2019 honda civic...bought the top of the line warranty, supposedly bumper to bumper.....
After about 6 months the car would randomly refuse to start. They replaced the battery the first time. Went about 3 months with no issues, then all of a sudden the car refused to start again. The second time they told me they could not find the issue. The service manager literally told me "this is embarrassing but no components are testing as bad but your car randomly doesn't start sometimes.....I can't replace any components under your warranty.... all we can do is bring it back in if the issue happens again"....
It does happen again....this time at my job which is an hour away from home. The free tow service from Honda got lost and took almost 3 hours to get to me but eventually I have my car towed and luckily there is a dealership minutes from my job... but the personnel for the service dept are gone for the day. ... the salesman from the other side are still there, I ask them If I could get a courtesy ride back home or even a courtesy vehicle while the car is worked on. They basically laughed at me and told me to kick rocks... "that has to go through the service dept". I had to pay for an uber out of pocket and had no vehicle for the next several days.
I ended up trading the car in at a toyota dealership and got a Prius. I will never, ever pay for an extended warranty again.
Dealership will try very hard not to fix your vehicle under warranty...Even when they know there is an issue..
Guy walking in the background wondering when Scotty will stop talking and give back his car, Lol, The longer you listen it does not sound like its a Camry killer or even close, i.e no spare tire, get a warranty, etc. and are we comparing it to the new 2025 Camry?😊
No thanks! I still prefer gas only
Can't keep polluting the planet dude. Plus with Gas prices over $4 a gallon it make the gas cost $2 per gallon
I have the 2024 Honda Accord Touring. It's my 3rd Accord (2018/2021/2024) Couldn't be happier with vehicle.
I had a late model Accord. Rode hard, little tech. Never again. Now I drive a new Lexus ES 350
I thought these hybrids were too complicated when they are older used?
I don't care for hybrids. I like the car that I have.
Sticking with my 2014 Civic SI with no car payment until the thing explodes. It has 235k miles on it. It's needed a few things, alternator, tie rods, control arms, and normal things like breaks etc. But I've done everything myself. Hopefully I can keep her alive to 400k!
Are those low profile tires? Sucks. No thanks.
The "highest" profile tire you're going to find on a sedan in the Accord segment is probably a 55 series but that's on the absolute base model which probably has a 17" wheel but many have larger 18" and 19" wheels where the side profile a 45 series or 50 series tire and with 20" wheels or higher is can be a 35 or 40 series tire.
Yeah have a friend with this one and the tires keep getting destroyed
@@paquesepas6696sounds like the problem is your friend, not the car.
@WALTERBROADDUS nope he had the last year's hybrid accord same ride to work and never had tires mess up
@@paquesepas6696 what exactly is he doing to the tires?
The specs say it combines for a total horsepower of only 204.. I would much rather have a V6 Camry or Avalon with 301 horsepower or the Lexus GS all-wheel drive with 311.
