scotty you look like you got in a bar fight with that missing tooth...
What do you think of a cord car
Ford car
Scotty, can you hold your camera a little steadier when you're looking at the diagnostics screen? Like at the 18 minute mark, you're waving your hand around while holding your camera which makes it hard to read the screen you're looking at.
You have to keep your old stuff or buy older used cars if you want to maintain them yourself. The wealthy can afford the cost of ownership. The average owner just goes into debt to buy that new car or pay the massive repair bill.
When they say " burning oil is normal" on a low mileage vehicle. Sell it fast!
My grandfather bought a new Impala that burned a quart every 800 miles. The dealership told him that was "within the reasonable range." He got rid of it fast!
@@PapiDoesItYeah, reasonable to who? Is the dealer gonna give free oil? Of course not. Honda has said the same thing in te past with their oil burning engines! Toyota has had oil burning engines too.
Horrible cars.
Good advice. My brother's Subaru, 2014 Outback, burned oil from the get go. Dealer said 'that's normal'. Right. In 2022, the head gasket blows. Dealer: $7000 to fix. Or we'll give you $7000 for it as is if you buy another car from us. That's what he did, but not another Subaru of course, got a used Buick SUV from them.
Unless it's a Subaru 😂
I can tell you my the worst vehicle of 2023: Ford Maverick Hybrid. After waiting months for it to actually appear at the dealership due to "supply chain issues" it ran great. For a while. At 21K miles BOTH front axles broke! At the same time! On a 500 mile trip no less. Ford said they couldn't get the parts so they kept it at the dealership until threatened with the Lemon Law, then magically the axles appeared and were installed. It still has outstanding recall issues but they don't have the parts for those either!
Wow !!
I sold mine at 20k after already having a lot of issues. Exhaust heat exchanger , Radio , brake issues, airbags not good look Ford
that's unreal. man. i was looking at the Maverick for a future vehicle. maybe not
@@johnguel9023why woukd you sell it when thats all warranty work.....im sure you lost money.. dont buy brand new...especially a pretty new model..
Yeah that’s a shame, I like the mavericks. A good reason not to buy a fresh new model I guess. A lot of the bronco customers are regretting it too
I will NEVER buy a Dodge after learning about the lack of access to the scanner data! Thank you for the heads-up, Scotty!!!
Sounds like they want to fleece people at the stealership😂
Kia/Hyundai has at least gotten better with 17k miles and only burning oil. A friend bought a 2005 Hyundai Tiburon brand new and it overheated on the drive home. They towed it back and it needed an entire new engine at 67 miles🤣
Wtf 😂
I had a brand new Hyundai i30/Elantra. It was a nightmare!
I always warn my friends and family not to buy them but they don't listen. They really think they're getting a great deal. That deal goes out the window when your engine blows. It's 2024, there is no reason you shouldn't get 100,000 trouble-free miles, at least when it comes to the engine/transmission. A car that burns oil inside of that is not a good car, period.
I have been saying for years that Hyundai/Kia are junk...I have owned seven GM vehicles and they all run great I have never had or needed warranty work done, now I'm not saying GM is the best car company but my friend is a mechanic and he and I where taking about what car I should buy a Chevy or Kia...he said go with the Chevy sure I enough last June I bought a 2020 Chevy Equinox 2.0T and I love it no problems with it thank God and it gets great gas mileage and the power is nice from the turbo. In conclusion yes Hyundai/Kia undercut nearly every other car company in price but there's a reason for that...they are garbage throw away cars...if my car burned oil at that low miles I would get rid of it .
Had the same exact car ('05 Tiburon), at 30,000 miles it overheated and blew a head gasket on a busy freeway. Super expensive bill (had to tear the whole engine apart) and fixing was way beyond my paygrade/experience.
Cooling systems on them just weren't built to last. As a kid I still loved it though, and I know it was cheap because my Dad bought it 😂
Drove it up til about 110k / 13yrs with otherwise standard maintenance, sold it off to a friend of a friend for his son and as far as I know, still running fine.
Overall would not recommend, I had PTSD for years about check engine lights and the temperature gauge, etc. But it did teach me it was worthwhile to learn about cars.
Scotty need to be invited to an car industry conference. He will indeed be the highlight of the conference! Love your videos!
Don't know if he would be safe at a car industry conference.
I thought the same thing lol.
RIP my 2014 Sonata that just blew an engine at 135,500 miles and being well maintained with Mobil 1 oil changes every 3-5k. I just bought an ‘05 Toyota with 50k original miles for close to the same price as the used engine replacement would have been
I drive a 2017 Ford Transit 250 cargo van with 252,000 miles on the original motor and it does not use a drop of oil between its 5000 mile oil change intervals.
My 2018 ford transit 350 is the same. Not nearly as many miles but still no oil loss.
The ford cargo truck are more reliable than consumer vehicles due to the fact it will be used for business purposes
We have a 2017 transit 250 with 410,000 miles and burns no oil with oil changed every 10,000 miles
Probably uses at as many quarts of oil every 5000 miles, as you need for an oil change. 😂😉
When I took my car into the Kia dealer it was left overnight in about 7degrees above zero weather, & they said on startup they heard no noise !. The car was 6 months old, & made enough noise everyone at work turned to see what the noise was ! I got a bore scope camera, & took a look at the cylinder walls, & they were badly scored at only 50,000 miles My car is not on the official recall list ,but is in one of the 6 Canadian class action lawsuits against Kia
Our Canada needs to start refusing these garbage companies to sell their junk in our country, period! Just fills up our landfill and the recyclers my like it. Keeps the courts busy. Junk!
It amazes me how many people continue buying Kia’s with all the recalls and terrible track record lol
The crazy thing is almost every manufacturers are having recalls, none can be trusted anymore
Toyota had huge recalled too! Yeah, I have Toyota too! Every company has recalls!!! 🙄
@@trdtrek3717 nothing as major or consistent as Kia for example catastrophic engine failures blowing up catching fire, transmission’s failure, burning excessive oil and claiming it’s normal not wanting to honor warranty lol at least Toyota has corrected any mistakes and took responsibility same for Honda granted nobody is perfect. Kia and Hyundai haven’t improved much that’s the difference 🙄
@@ShalowRecord to a degree yes but overall Toyota or Honda are still better imo
@@trdtrek3717 the thing with Kia/Hyundai is it's been a recurring issue that their larger 4 cylinder engines are prone to catching fire. The problem goes back over a decade, and they still haven't properly addressed it.
Other car manufacturers have recalls, but they usually resolve them in time. Kia/Hyundai seem to be doing whatever they can to avoid fixing the problems they're having.
1. Kia soul
2. VW Jetta
3. Ram 1500
Just went through this with my GF's Kia. Took it in twice to check oil consumption, it was burning about a quart every 800 miles. They wouldn't fix it. Finally then engine blew. They did replace the engine without any fuss, though.
Honestly we were pretty lucky, only took a couple of weeks@@SkyBlue2blue
So sad
they got sued and lost.
@@SkyBlue2bluesucks when people do not answer important questions aye?
@@SkyBlue2blueit took Kia 3 months to replace the engine on my 2016 sportage.
Had a 2002 Passat GLX V6 wagon for several years. Spent more on fixing it that I spent buying it. Shoulda got rid of it long before I did. Never liked VWs. But on long trips it was super comfy. The transmission never had any problems. Traded it in on a Honda Accord when the VW had 168k miles on it. Oil leaks, check engine light, rear door latch broke, just one thing after another.
💯 true i had a kia Sorrento burned oil starting at 50k they told me it's only excessive if it's more than 1 qt every 1k miles and that .5 to .75 qts per 1k was not bad. Wouldn't fix it even under warranty. Never will buy a kia again. Also had problems at my kia dealership on tires wearing at 20k miles that they wouldnt honor the warranty saying even though I got them rotated on time i didnt get an alignment each time. I said i took it to your dealership why didnt u align it? He said they dont do that there. Never Kia anything again. Picked up a 2023 Honda Ridgeline RTL after u called it the best truck nobody knows about and love it so far. Thanks Scotty!
My Kia Sorrento doesn't burn any oil at all in 6K miles, what are you talking about? I have 82K miles already.
@@irisbaez1972 google kia Sorrento burning oil lawsuit
Sounds like it was a 2.4l the v6’s are not as bad but not the best
@@irisbaez1972my 2019 sorento burned a quart every 1k miles starting at 40k. Traded it fast!
I was shopping for a new car a few years ago and test drove a Soul. I had to floor the thing just to get from the dealer's parking lot onto the road. Absolute garbage even when it isn't outright burning oil.
Ha ha ha KIA - oh wait I too own a Kia (2013 Forte ex)
Love Scotty’s honesty and his funny horse pictures - wished I knew him before
My nephew has been beating the **** out of his 2019 Forte since new. I think he's up to 70k trouble-free miles at this point... somehow. Seriously, he races anything that moves regardless of whether it's racing HIM or not.
I had a 2016 Golf Made in Mexico, an Oil change at the dealer during warrantee $150, 1st shift switch recall then a small pinhole in the rad after warrantee, and then a $1000 O2 sensor on the Cat. Traded it for a Subaru
Scotty - the 2012 VW Passat I used to own had the same 2.5L that was bullet proof as far as I could tell and a toyota aisin transmission. That was a winning combo. Unfortunately, a truck smashed into it!
😥
sorry
hope no injuries
VW from 1980' do 2010' were bullet proof.
The worst part about Kia/ Hyundai is the dealership experience. My god i had to contact the manufacturer and call them then told em if they don't want to look at the intrument cluster glitch then I'm going elsewhere which was covered under warranty. Then after they applied software updatethey asked for 5 stars and i gave them 1. What a scam.
I can’t believe there are people on this earth who spend more than 5 grand on something without even researching it’s reliability and track record 😂
Thank you so much Scotty for the videos! You're a really good teacher. 👍 Simplifying everything. Have a good New Years!
Scotty enjoyed his VW drive with the back seat chick 😆
She was the highlight of the video.
He wanted to impress her at his little drag strip, just so he could have a reason to say his famous line "Rev up your engines!" 😂🤣
Of course 😅
She's probably a volkswagon mechanic & came with the car
Weird part is, I know a chick who looks just like her and drove a matching black VW until December. I thought I was having a stroke when she showed up in this video 😆 NOT in the British sense.
Hi SCotty, great reviews. I had recently driven a Kia Soul as a rental car , I will never buy one its a rolliing POS. My rental when I got it had already clocked 65K kms on the car, the auto stop feature on the car is junk and the engine well....... Keep up the great work. ves from Ottawa Canada
I have a friend who works at a VW dealership in the part's department he told me they sell $300,000 in part's on the retail side every month. The shop side is astronomical 2-3 time's the retail side plus labor. That's in Nebraska BTW
Scotty, always a breath of fresh air. happy New Year to you. Don San Jose, CA. 12-30-2023.
German Taco made my day 😂
I’ve had a German car and never again
I had an E30 IC with a few modifications. It was so much fun but such a pain in the dink to maintain. Glad I discovered Miatas before their prices went through the roof :p
Just got rid of my KIA soul, 3 years old with only 7,000 miles on it. Traded it in for a Toyota Rav4. Thank you sir.
Another year of great videos. Happy new year!
Scotty I dont think you are frank enough. I like your up yours salute you gave at the end. I had a 1998 Dodge 1500 and a 2008 Dodge 1500 and the 1998 is at about 300,000 miles with the 360 engine. The paint and plastic dash are gone but it is still running. The 2008 dodge was made of mostly Bosch parts and that truck run great up to over 130,000 when I sold it. The newer Dodge trucks are crap as you said because like most vehicles now a days they are all plastic and too complicated. My current 2010 Tundra has 145,000 miles and runs like a clock. Plus I get 18 MPG with the 4.6L v8. My theory of cars is run them till the wheels fall off and get out and put them back on. The Toyota Tundra is a better driving truck over the Dodges I had as good as they were. Like you I only buy used cars because I let someone else take the depreciation buying a new car and driving it off the lot and it is worth less than you paid for it.
Scotty has the best car advice in 2023.
Happy New Year, Scotty! Keep up the great work.
Happy New Year! Made me smile with this video ! My first video for 2024! Appreciate You! 😊 Thank You Scotty!
8:00 2 squirrels chasing each others behind Scotty.
9:30 Scotty's fan club out on the drag strip, lol
Might be 🐹 hamsters😅
They're setting up the old Geico commercial 😂
Happy New Year Scotty ❤ enjoy your content ✌🏻🫶🏻
Had to rent a car while getting a new clutch into my 05 Vue 5speed manual (282k original clutch).
It was a 2022 Corolla. Best newer car I’ve driven! Over 40 mpg on the highway. Great ride and a solid vehicle. Would seriously consider owning one some day.
Thank you for the video. Blessings to you.
The Kia Soul is truly horrible.
Agree
I agree
Jesus Christ will save your soul!!!!!!
I hate seeing these things
Scion xB rip off didn't work for Kia.
I agree, there’s no need to have a vacuum pump for the brake booster on a conventional setup unless the intake manifold spends a lot of time under positive pressure … my ‘89 Mazda 626 was a 2.0L turbo, thus had electric cruise control when vacuum cruise was common, though it had a large enough reservoir for vacuum brake boost.
$1800 for an electric vacuum pump is crazy expensive.
The worst idea was voice coil electric brake boost. Nissan tried that on the LEAF EV starting in 2011. The electric boost was unreliable and Nissan returned to vacuum boost by 2014 with an electric pump to make vacuum.
Did you have the oscillating vents?? I miss my black '89 626 GT Turbo...
@@Morboeatspeople Yes, the MX-6 had the oscillating vents and there was a button to turn them on or off as desired. It was a pretty good idea and aI’m surprised it seems to have disappeared. Even though the MX-6 was mechanically very similar to the Ford Probe, some of the interior things were Mazda specific and I believe the Ford did not get the oscillating vents. The MX-6 also had a very rare option for rear wheel steering which I believe Ford never offered at all on the Probe.
Spot on for VW, I had a 90s Jetta GLI.
I speak to folks with modern ones, they seem to have the same issues. CV joints, door handles, motor mounts.....
I poured every dollar I had into keeping it rolling to get to work and school. Such a total waste.
Motor never had an issue!
Happy New Years Scotty!
2005 Acura TL w/ 130k miles. Doesn't burn a drop... not a quart, not a 1/2 a quart... not a 1/4 quart... Zero!
Had a jetta... Never again.. So many issues
Ok.Pinocchio
Happy new year Scotty
Any car burning 1/2 to 1 quart of oil every 1K miles is going to lose it's Cat(s) in no time smh. Wow.
I wouldn't let any car go over 5000 without an oil change no matter what oil and filter I was using so in that case half a quart over the first 5000 would not be terrible. Can the auto stop/start be turned off?
Exactly. this people always exaggerate things.
Subaru previously had a 7500 miles change schedule, and currently they have a 6000 mile schedule. I think the oil burning was the reason they did it.
5000 is good for synthetic
Well, Honda and Toyota has had oil burnings engines too!
@@ravenmoto5948 Not remotely close to Kia.
because people are cheap, and use sh*t oil
I never heard that....when?. I have a 2017 Crosstrek bought it brand new...never let it go over 6k for a change... never heard anyone suggesting over 6 for them
Hey Scotty happy new year and just love your videos. Both informative and funny but now to realality FYI JUST GOT A EMAIL HONDA JUST NOW HAS A MASSIVE RECALL ON A BOAT LIAD OF HONDAS AND ACURAS TLX RDX MDX PILOT PASSPORT CRV MODEL YEAR IF IM CORRECT 2017 thru 2020.……..2.5 million total faulty fuel pump issues and it stated those who have said vehicals will be receiving a letter in the mail by February or March of this new year. Keep up the great videos thank you
240,000 miles on the Celica. Last time you showed the odometer it was 239,000. One 500 mile roundtrip. You are a classic Scotty.....please change that oil.
The neighbors can prolly hear Scotty in the shower
It's insane how people who have Kia's and Hyundai's defend them. The people who never had one or got rid of one can only laugh. You can't tell them as anything. What are the odds of this particular Kia soul owner of ever buying another Kia. Around zero?
It's insane when people complain about cars they have never owned. If you properly maintain a vehicle it can last a very very long time.
I’ve got a KIA but I know it’s no Toyota or Honda
@@djplonghead5403 Even if you religiously maintain your car, some just aren't reliable. It's because they're built like crap because it's cheaper to manufacture. Hyundai and Kia are examples of that.
@@AndrewFaust-dh7kg True. Kia and Hyundai have been putting serious effort to fixing their vehicles and reputation (still not enough). Their styling is top notch and really seem to care about the future of cars. Many people say that their ev's from the two companies have been excellent and have had little to no problems. I think the charging network is still too poor to get an EV though.
Still, I would say that the owner, driving habits, and maintenance history is more important to the vehicle than who built it. Our family has a 2000 Celica that is all rusted, the battery is held with a bungy cord, and engine has a horrible idle problem all because of the previous owner. Yesterday we fixed the exhaust because the mount to hold the muffler rotted away causing it to drag on the ground.
Our 1992 s-10 has 226,000 miles and still drives. We bought it will 220,000 miles. It needs a new clutch and has some idle issues because the family member who owns it doesn't care for it as much as it needs (the oil gets checked very rarely.)
@@djplonghead5403The original Chevrolet Vega motor would melt at a traffic signal on the way home from the dealer. Some designs are just lemons.
Scotty you are a Legend many thanks.
1:10 Seven years running, the 94 Celica still has 240k miles on it!
There are a lot of people who like to work on their on cars in Europe. There are 'right to repair' laws here but it's still a fight to get repair data. Was looking for a Bugatti Veyron manual few weeks back. Only found 1 source, $7,500 ... for a workshop manual!
That's crazy!
My son’s Jetta was nothing but a money pit.
What went wrong with it? Which year? I have never had a problem with mine.
Had a 2020 Jeep Wrangler, No Issues with vehicle in 4 years and over 60k miles. But the dealership tried to tell it needed new break and rotots at 12k miles. I told them your not talklng to a green horn. I have had work truck that weight 7k to 9k and never needed breaks pads or rotors till about 70k miles. I also towed heavy loads from time to time. The delerships are steeler ships.
Hi, I have a question I just bought a 2023 RAV4 XLE hybrid I’d like to know did they really fix the MGR cable that runs from the front of the vehicle to the back of the vehicle did they fix the corrosion problem or is it still there? Please respond back thank you.
I have a 22 Kona 2.0. With 17000 Miles. Leaking Coolant. Its at the Dealer for the Third time in Dec. The car has lost about 1/2 Gallon within 1000 Miles. ITM was replaced. Now I am told they think its hose near the Thermostat Housing. The other side of the engine. At least the Dealer gave me a 23 Elantra Limited for a Loaner. You're Right about the Stop/Start. Waiting t see when I get Rear Ended because of it.
I just drove my 1993 K1500. I will never sell that truck. FROM my cold dead hands!
I had a 1992 Saturn SC2 1.9 that got about 38 miles per gallon on the highway. But that was back when the speed limit was 55 in commifornia. When the speed limit was raised to 65, the RPM's at 3K and 70 MPH had both needles pointing straight up. My 2011 Charger RT runs around 2K RPM's at 70. But it only gets about 23 MPG on the highway average. In town, about 13. Lead foot syndrome. LOL
What year did they start that where you can't access the info on the computer system? That way, I know what to not get in the future. My Autel tool has the Chrysler adapter. Would that make my scan tool work for those, or do I still need to prove machanic status to them?
I have a 2020 Trailhawk with a hemi. I change the oil twice a year whether it needs it or not. My wife babies it (sometimes too much), just waiting for the first electrical thing to die.
I'm super excited and am really hoping Toyota comes out with the hilux champ truck in the USA and Canada! It looks awesome and if Toyota is going back to basics it will be so awesome!!!
The Stout
Why are we talking about used cars from 2007 for a 2023 list?
Only 1 was from 2007. But VW's haven't really been good cars since the early 2000's, and it still applies today.
My daily driver is a 2001 Honda Insight. 2007 doesn’t feel all that old. My youngest car is 2017. 😊
Are you new on this channel?
Because newer ones suck. Too many computers, plastic, and I suspect, shitty Chinese parts, made of Genuine Chinesium and Chinecrapite, slapped together by pissed off workers.
@@soco13466😂
Back in the 70s I dropped a few number 3 exhaust valves on my Beetles. VW finally moved the oil cooler to fix the problem.
I had a Hyundai. Everything was great until I had issues and had to deal with that company. Since then it has been Hondas and Toyotas. That fixed my problem.
I have a 15 year old pontiac montana withover 180000 miles that burns no oil.
Me at the dealership: I'm going to buy your new car
Dealer: please take a ride
Me after opening the drivers door: but it's made in Mexico . Im not buying it
Dealer: why ...?
Me: because Scotty says so
Dealer: !!!
Me: bye bye
It's amazing how long a history automobile manufactures have in producing bad engines. My father bought a brand new 1959 Plymouth Savoy and not long after it started burning oil. He ended up letting them repo the car.
I love all the knowledge he shares when talking about how engines work. Scotty you the best :)
Actually Scotty all car manufacturers including Toyota, Honda, Ford ... etc are not supporting the right to repair. This is why there was class action suit in MA.
I have a 2014 SOEL. Have the oil changed every 3000 miles . It’s pretty reliable and low maintenance .
You know, a lot of vehicles made in the last decade burn lots of oil at relatively low miles... its kind of concerning. We had a new chevy trailblazer with the turbo engine come in to our shop, only 5,000 miles on the odometer... it burned a quart of oil
My son's Lexus 215,000 miles and smooth as silk. 5,000 miles oil changes or less. Only issue is AC is out, have not been able to find leak.
I had wondered how a 3 cylinder turbo charged engine ( in a ford fiesta here ,UK) ) can reliably make more horsepower than my 2l 4 cylinder N/A
fords eco boost 1.0 - 3 cylinder ( ecoboom ) is another complete pile of junk. it's actually worse than Kia's just burning oil issue ... it loses cam wet belts at very low mileage , and clogs up the engine with rubber particles, as well as the known head gasket failures .
@@adonisnetworks They're almost as bad as Honda's 1.5T head gasket fiasco.
@adonisnetworks Exactly mate, for me I chose the 5.0L Coyote V8 over the Ecoboost V6 anyday
I have a question. I have a 09 Honda Fit with a out 98,000 miles. I only drive it about 4000 miles a year, how often should I change the oil if I use regular 5w20 oil?
You should be changing the oil every 5000 miles or every 6 months whichever is sooner if you are using synthetic.
Do what the owners manual says
Once a year
I’m amazed my 07 Sorento lasted for 235K before I got rid of it, it had wear and tear on parts I had replaced but the engine itself in that vehicle was surprisingly good and I never burned oil or had any engine issues except a mass airflow sensor that went bad and a leaky coolant overflow tank springing a leak over time of heating and getting cold throughout the years of winter and summer but other then that I never had an engine problem it was actually a decent first car
I take my car to a local shop and they change my the oil in my car with full synthetic 5/20 every 4000-5000 miles and it only costs me $42
2.0L engines have a little more than 2 quarts of oil. If you're burning half a quart every 1000 miles but you're advised to change the oil every 7500 miles... what's left in your engine?
Knocking sounds are the only thing going to be coming from that engine
The owners manual for the 2023 model shows it as having a capacity of 4l, or 4.23 US quarts. Oil burning at that level isn't going to drain it completely. If it's changed at 5000 or less, there shouldn't be a problem unless the burning gets much worse.
What????? A 2.0 has atleast 3.5 quarts.......

KIA soul
Should not post unless you know what your talking about. Most 2 litre engines take at least a gallon of oil.
So, the 100k mile warranty doesn't mean squat then.
Welcome brother.
Check out how many people are getting denied for the theta 2 engines.
Happy new year Scotty what do you think about the 2023 Sorrento Kia
It’s crap
Scotty, my 07 Ford Focus has 286k miles and it doesn't burn or leak a drop of any liquid.
@Scotty * thank you very much for your excellent experience _ happy new year sir 🎉 from Miami Florida 🌞
I wondered if the KIA was burning oil or leaking oil, but nope, just crappy craftsmanship.
I bought a new GMC High Sierra in 1984. I got 3 miles from the dealership and the low oil light came on. I immediately turned off the exit to a station, popped the hood and saw oil on the engine where the oil sending switch was seated. Somebody at the factory had cross-threaded the sensor when they installed it at the factory. That should have been my hint to give the vehicle back, after that it was all downhill.
My ex wife has a 2014 escape titanium, with the 2.0 ecoboost, only has 135k on itzl ,but it doesnt burn a drop of oil...turbos dont always bur oil
I must have been lucky with my 07 Jetta, picked it up for a few hundred and it served me well for a good four or five years before i sold it. I think besides regular maintenance there was one issue with oil leaking that was easily fixed.
Definitely wasn't my expectation for my first turbo diesel, I'd expect a lot of headaches and it turned out to be a great reliable car.
The engine is great as well, not only reliable but actually really fun. The weight to power ratio means you can get ahead of much more expensive and powerful cars for the first few thousand revs. It sounds great for a small car and it's got a lot more guts than I thought it would.
It also saved me a ton on fuel since the government decided to lock diesel prices to help with shipping costs.
I never would have bought a Jetta if it wasn't for the suspiciously too good to be true price but it turned out to be one of my favourites.
I had a kia sedona with 238,500 miles and it didn't burn or leak a drop of oil and I did 10,000 mile oil changes
I’m from Hawaii and love looking at the snow in the background ❄️
It’s nice to look at, but horrible to drive through, especially mixed with ice!
@@carlovanrijk4039 I heard that snow is only good on one day of the year. Christmas 🎄.
@@Michael-yi4mc exactly!! 😂😂
I own a '17 Ram, original owner. Has been a great truck. The Hemi is a strong, reliable engine if you take care of it. The ZF transmission is solid. Yes, they do have some nit picky issues, but all in all I've been very happy with it. I expect at least 300,000 miles out of it, if rust doesn't take it first.
Just make sure to put rust protection on it so that it can last for years to come.

I have learned over time TOYOTA IS BETTER
While it was under warranty they should have taken it back and demanded that it get fixed or they get their money back by suing the company.
Kia had this same problem in Britain - until a customer drove one through the showroom windows and then set it alight and burned down the dealer showrooms.
Kia quickly got the message and recalled them and put in high quality oil and piston rings and :VOILA' problem solved. FUNNY HOW THEY 'SAW THE LIGHT'!!!.😂😂😂😂
PS - I had a 96 Volvo 850 2.0 GLT. When I bought it, it had 20k on it. When I sold it with 101K and NEVER burnt so much as thimble full of oil. I religiously changed the oil/filter and flushed it at 3k and used fully synthetic oil - mind you Volvo engines of that era were made to last and they used quality internal parts.
It seems that Kia are diberately making rubbish engines and offering excuses for a shoddy product - BUT, WHAT'S REALLY BAFFLING IS THAT CUSTOMERS ARE BELIEVING THEIR HORSESHIT!!.
Girlfriend has a 2013 Kia Optima with 85k miles, she owed it for 8 years now, for a couple years her car been burning oil about a gallon between oil changes every 5000miles.
I wonder if it could go 10,000 miles between oil changes since I’m adding a little new oil every week.
From what I’ve learnt gdi engines tend to consume oil as long as you keep it within the normal range it should be fine I’ve heard it happening across many companies
The Soul may have been sold as a young person car but it's a good retired persons car (assuming they don't drive high mileage). Even with the one in the vid, if you don't drive much and change the oil every six months you'll never burn oil and the car will last for years (maybe not decades but at least as long as the 10 year warranty).
Yeah VWs are fun to drive...while they're working. Your mechanic will love your choice;) The TDI was actually a fun little car with the manual.
I had an 06 Jetta TDI (manual) ran it for 10 years. Blew a cylinder head at 160k miles. Fun to drive, but you're not kidding about the repair costs. Every visit to the dealership was $1500 - $3500. Never again.
8:04 not one, but two squirrels.
Owned VW, Audi, Mercedes, Dodge, Jeep, Ford, Datsun, Lexus, Toyota, Kia over the last 50 years. My Datsuns, Toyotas and Lexus were that best so far. Have bought 2 Kia Optimas, 1 Toyota Corolla and 1 Kia Sorento V6 AWD used with low miles all from Hertz car sales in Phoenix AZ the last 8 years. Regular Synthetic oil changes, filters, batteries, coolant just basic overall maintenance. Only problem was fuel pump warranty recall with Kia, no cost. The totol price for all 4 cars was $ 66,000
I've owned 3 hyundais that I bought new over the last 20 years and had great luck with them but I can say their service departments are criminal. The car I have now is a 2023 and it suppose to include a 3yr/36k mile complimentary service. Not only did I pay for my first service but they didn't use the required 0-20 full synthetic oil, they used a semi synthetic oil. I would personally take my car to a private service repair facility because I don't trust them and remember the power train warranty is only 10 years 100k miles. After that repairs are on the owner.
hello, they did the same thing to me. I looked at manual and it did say that OW 20s recommended but if you do use semi synthetic change change it at 5000 miles.
I have researched this question online as well . now I can take it where I want.
I was called a troll on the Hyundai palisade Facebook forum page, and was told that Hyundai and Kia build the most reliable engines...lol
If it’s a V6 it’s pretty good
@@ShalowRecord v6's are just as bad! I'm on a fb forum group with 20k people, everyday stories on how bad these are, hell 3 in the last week have been from the palisade v6 engines, one of them had 300 miles went it blew up.
Omg I love all your videos I swear I be dying over here because of the fact you are. So knowledgeable and hilarious at the same time 😂😂 😂 I love it ❤
So weird you have snow in TN and we have none in MN
