Scotty where is your car lift? Are you working on all these cars in your driveway with a jack??
@@tonymontana3742 yes, I've been doing it that way since I was a kid
Scotty. I have a 1992 keep wrangler with the 4.0 and a manual transmission. On cold days I can not shift into second, fourth or reverse until the transmission warms up. I've been told that if I switch to synthetic fluid it would fix this. Is this true? Thank you in advance. Rhett
Scotty I was looking for your email to ask a question, was wondering what you thought was about the 2016 Lexus rx350’s. I had a 2009 one and now wanting to go back to Lexus, are they good cars as they used to be?
What kind of sports car should I buy?
Scion failed for the same reason every brand that targets the youth market fails:
*Young people can’t afford new cars.*
Nittanyburg 20 funny I’m 17 got a 2018 Accord on my own. Lol
gaming nice job your like 1% of 17 year olds who can get a car with no credit.
Cool Kid gaming very anecdotal sonny. You’re probably a hard working kid but for an auto manufacturer to invest millions just to target the younger generations is foolish and that’s exactly why the Scion brand is no longer around.
Rcp 916 No he isnt. He just has connections. He is lucky to know people that can grant him these jobs and easily save up. Also he doesnt have rent and mortgage to deal with. His parents do that.
Rcp 916 If you dont know anyone goodluck getting a job thatll amount to that car.
The worst of Toyota is like the best of Chrysler
True.
Chrysler had 4.0 L6 and 4.7 V8 years ago.... Oh and 4.0 changed into 3.7 Shiet.and 3.8 Shiet....till pentastar put them out of their misery... and Easy Maintenance V8 are just Long gone

I died lol
His constant trolling on Fiat always cracks me up 😂
LMAO
I liked the hello kitty appearance
A colleague of mine drives a fiat only cause someone sold it to her really cheap for like 2k with 50k miles on it and she still hates it. Imagine the anger if bought for full price at the stealership
@@For_Cruyff_Sake Did you notice the kitty in the window? It was "sun bathing" 😉 3:52
Yall done made Scotty pick on Toyota lol. Sheesh
IKR Even to call out the Tercel which hasn't been a bad car in me and my family's experience. Mine had 300K on it when I sold it.
not really. Most of these weren't even Toyotas.
He roasted Toyota !
Yes, what's with that, I think only some years of the 2zz had the oil pump issue, and the 1zz Celica gt has more torque and hp then the 2zz at lower rpm's and is a fun car, yes they had oil burning issues for a couple of years, no biggy, come on Scotty give the Celica some love, lots of us love our gts's and gt's
I mean it's all fax tho
A friend of mine bought a 90s Celica for cheap. I learned how to drive standard on it. We treated it like dirt. Used and abused it. Drove it high speeds, revs, spin outs. The car just would not break! You have to respect something that is that reliable!
I hope you did all that illegal activity in Mexico;)
Very nice. Mine was pretty solid to me when I had it too!
You should have respected it when he had it..I had a maroon 92 Celica I bought in 07 with like 220k miles ,it was a 5 spd, fun little car I loved it
I used to work for Toyota and those 90 celica's are like tanks it's so hard to kill them
Scotty Kilmore is the granddad I always wish I had, he lights up my life... and bad car companies ! Thank you Scotty
Amen to that! Watching Scotty Kilmer videos on TH-cam is a guaranteed mood changer if you're having a rough day. He tickles me to death with his laughing animal pics that pop up when he gets himself laughing. So wish Scotty was my cool uncle lol.

"The worst mistake Toyota ever made was badging over a Chevrolet Cavalier." LMAO
I know Toyotas or one of the best cars and we'll go 300,000 miles but it's not nice putting down Chevy cavalier Pontiac Sunfire I had one and I hardly had any issues with it at all normal maintenance 2.2 engine 5 speed manual transmission the original clutch and it didn't owe me a penny original converter about original parts I'm sick and tired of people degrading cavalier and Sunfire there are good motor and if they're nice cuz people beat the hell out of thembut definitely Toyota's are superior in their framework in the front because I'm the GM's the A-frame or junk but I don't see too many cars that get 225000 miles out of the original clutch
For a very long time my 1987 Cavalier was the best car that I ever owned.
@@keithsherwood1679 My dad still drives a 2000 Chevrolet Cavalier with almost 300,000 miles. Since he bought it he never changed the transmission fluid and he changes the oil every 3000 miles. The car still runs great :)
@@henrynorcrossii3363 My dad's first car was a 85 Chevy Cavalier station wagon and that car almost hit 500,000 miles until it began leaking oil and we decided to junk it because it had too many miles. So he bought another a 2000 Cavalier and this one has almost 300,000 and he still drives it today :)
I had a 96 Cavalier Z24 with a 3.1 V6 and that was a great car. I drove that car hard for 150K and never really had any problems with it.
somebody did not get the check last week😂😂😂

Why? The are renowned world wide for being super reliable.. 🤷♂️
Make sure you check the oil regularly!!!
@@motleydude73 That model is notorious for burning oil, so it must be checked regularly.
@@thequietkiwi Yea a few had problems. Fixed in 2010..
@@thequietkiwi v6 or v4
I had a 92 manual tercel, I loved it. Great daily and cheap parts. Only had to replace suspension related parts due to age, plus general maintenance. Best $800 I've ever spent. Got 35 miles per gallon or more just as it was supposed to 20 years later. Unfortunately I crashed it just after I replaced parts just cause I could get new ones. Very simple design was pleasant to work on.
i love how he always sneak disses random car company’s

@@LoongAqua Its amazing that Bin Laden was living in a Massive Compound with high walls just down the street from the National Pakistani Military College, yet the U.S. 'didn't know his location for 10 years' before they miraculously found him in 2011.

I had 1998 Tercel, best car i ever owned, I owned few M3, and other BMWs, Sienna, Preloud, VW, Corolla, I bought it $1900 and sold it $300 after 11 years
Thanks Scotty! I'm used-car shopping and looking at tons of your videos, I appreciate getting the real facts to work with!

your statement that a celica is a corolla with a "sporty" body is something that every male celica owner under 30 needs to know.
Logan .Kes if that’s true what do you have to say about Golf owners?? Lmao
@Mykel Hardin golf gti
@@quonsetthehutt3105 Golf GTI Clubsport is a proper driver's car, even thou I drive a Megane RS and have a strong hate for golfs. It is the same bodyshell and interior design but absolutly everything else is different. It's like sayng a M3 has a 316i body. Meanwhile I guess Scotty says his sporty celica has actually the same suspension, steering column, engine as the Corolla. Look for exemple my RS has a incredibly precise steering, move it a quarter of an inch and the car reacts, try that in a normal diesel version and you can steer left right and the car has no idea. Take the clutch, in regular ones you can start them only from the clutch, in the sport ones you press the clutch just a bit and the throttle a bit more, it conencts way faster. And then it's the way they take corners, in the top sport versions you can take corners at 110 mph while the cheap ones don't have that even as top speed. They are very different cars. Would I buy something like this if I was american, no, I'd probably have something like a Camaro Z28, but here we have taxes that make pretty much impossible to afford cars with medium sized engines by american standards.
My husband's was also a red that he didn't was hideous (it wasn't a chick magnet!). He taught me to drive his standard transmission Celica in '93! It was a great car, but for the color. Look at it this way: younger people, now, can learn from their relatives not to get a flashy car because women are not impressed by them.

When I heard that there was gonna be a new Supra i really got excited until i heard it was gonna have a BMW engine and is basically a BMW underneath...smh
Yeah i was devastated when i find out Wraith is basically 760 bmw 😪
@@lauranyc4966 Quite true. And I'm not saying the BM..I mean Toyota Supra isn't pretty, because it is, it's just German manufacturing I don't trust (from experience) and the new Supra *looks* , at least, quite small.
MonsieurCarGuy And the new Supra’s front and lights look ugly as hell. Doesn’t really fit the car. It was a complete disappointment and bust, But I love the new C8 Corvette, That on the other hand was amazing.
And it has defective welds that break too
Run like hell from a BMW anything, as Scotty says. My husband bought an X5 in2011, and we had 7 recalls and other problems with it and it's true they depreciate tremendously! Wish we knew before buying it!
"They didn't wanna be known as not having good cars"

Mr. Kilmer is interesting because he doesn't just deal with technical and repair issues, he also thinks a lot about the management of automotive corporations and cultural issues associated with vehicles.
He has a ton of repair videos. I saw a video where he talks about not making many new repair videos because he has already covered many of the repairs that can be done at home. Look in his archives, he covers lots of repair instructions. That's why I started watching his videos.
And he runs 2 weed stores in LA and bought the cat house in nevada. Rev up your blunts and take off your shorts.
Kitty has been spotted "sun bathing" @ 3:52
Carry on kitty, don't let anyone dim your shine 😎🐈
This cat probably likes Scotty and want to listen him as he speak.
I had a 2005 Camry never had a problem until Canadian Tire screwed up the front struts , bunch of idiots.
Did you sue or refuse to pay?
My friend got his brakes done guy didnt even pump them so he had no brakes for the first few stomps. Lol little things big problems.
First mistake was taking it to Canadian tire for work..... my girlfriends 08 chevy cobalt sport was brought in for an oil change, 800 dollars later for a new coolant systen and they installed the lines in the wrong positions.
How about a video on The Best Cars Chrysler ever made. Haha
TheUnlimited001 That is a difficult video to make since Chrysler is probably the worst brand that is still around.
Ten second video.
50s+60s chryslers were decent
You'd have to open the spectrum to include Plymouth and then u might say the best car they ever made was the road runner and they businessman coupe special deluxe
'68 '69 '70 Chargers + Cudas
Bmw Supra is gonna suck, they should of used their Lexus V6 engines and transmissions on the new Toyota Supra, gg :(
Yes I’ve been trying to say the new ls500 twin turbo v6 would be good for the new Supra
Nah. Supra needs to be a straight 6. BMW engines are generally pretty good anyway. It's the electronics that are junk. If Toyota had just put a BMW engine in a car that was otherwise their own design, it would be much better.
No doubt!
My point exactly a inline 6 2jz gte would have been way better than this BMW JUNK

please Mr. kilmer, enable the option of subtitles in Spanish so that more people benefit from their skills and teachings, I appreciate your time and effort ..... Knowledge is power
I live in Georgetown, Ky, where the Camry's have been made since 1989. They have the very first Camry ever built sitting in the Visitors Center. It has less than 100 miles on it. The only time it ever leaves the Plant is when they take it to the Kentucky State Fair and even then, they have it brought in on a flat bed. They treat that thing like Gold.
They also make the Solara, Avalon, The Rav4 and the Lexus ES300. They also have the first one of each of those sitting in the Vistors Center along with the 1 millionth Camry made. Also used to make the Venza but they discontinued it.
I had a 95 Tercel with 220k miles on it. It was fuel injected. Best car I had until now. Bulletproof.
And the oil burning wasn't that bad, would spend like $10 a year for a 4L jug of oil to fill that up once in a while.
I have had 8 or 9 Tercels. All of them have been GREAT . Bought some new, some of them with 100K on them, and then got another 100K out of them. Have only done routine maintenance, Timing belts, oil changed every 2500mi.Currently own a '97 CE 2dr with 135K. The car is MINT and rust free, still looks and drives great and still gets 32+ MPG and I live in the Northeast.Not bad for my 9th "Turd".
My father, who was notorious for abusing cars- almost never changed the oil, got brakes only after weeks or months of screeching, turned up the radio when the engine would make noises, etc- he owned several of the Tercel SR5 Awd wagons because he lived in the snow belt. Each went for over 200K, which is amazing considering how he treated them. He liked them better than the Subarus of that era. They couldn't have been that unreliable.
My 05 Mercedes C230k has 222k and still going lol...
Same!
I wish Toyota could get rid of whale mouth grills.
Soo true the new rav4 looks soo weird lol
I like them
True it looks weird in a bad way just a gaping hole
@@Sam-mw5hx gaping holes look sort of hot....
I like them
Scotty with all his experience tells the truth
Im a simple man when it comes to cars. Im happy with my corolla :)
Same here.
1997 2.2 L Camry here and lovin it
R G I'm a car guy, and I agree. The simpler the better when it comes to automobiles. I don't drive because I enjoy it, I drive because I have no other choice.
I drive a 01 Corolla and I love the thing. If it was a bit faster and if the taillights weren't so ugly it would've looked perfect.
Yes you're pretty simple, car-wise that is, if a Corolla fulfills you. I guess McDonald's is date night.....
If Scotty's celica never gives him any problems y is his hood always open then??
If you watch the videos that show the mileage, it has barely budged over the years. That car must sit in the driveway 99.9% of the time for the purpose of TH-cam.
It's fucked so badly, that it's undriveable. So it never breaks down (again)
He just wants to pop the hood for show.
My brothers girlfriend had same toyota celica it was trash she had a 84 cutlass ran forever she sold it to get celica she had problems with the celica every week
Zzzz, think of it, why can't he do basic maintenance zzz... Also it's a Automotive Channel what the H...
Then there is the oil sludging engine issue . And the mis-sized piston ring oil consumption problem circa 2003-2009. I have a 08 RAV4 that needed a complete block replacement due to oil consumption damage and I changed the oil every 4k miles. Toyota fixed it for free and I still drive it today.
Good that they fixed it for you...
That is taking care of the customer...
Toyota is good...
I love Scotty's channel...
But...
The Toyota love fest gets old...
4 cylinder or 6?
Was it the 2.4L 4 cyl ?
My toyota won't acknowledge it at all... mentioned it to them every time I go
There was a class-action lawsuit over the oil sludging issue. It happens to the 1MZ-FE V6 engine, which was used in late 90s/early 2000s Camry/Lexus ES, Lexus RX, Avalon, Sienna, Highlander. I believe the later models with the VVT-i system are less prone to it. Still, it's very important to change the oil exactly on time, and use synthetic oil in these engines. A friend of mine got burned by a 1999 Sienna. They can last a long time, but beware buying a used one without oil change records. A few other brands had the same issue around the same years..Chrysler, VW, Audi, Saab.
Going to disagree with the criticism of the Tercel. My friend has, and I have helped him maintain, a 1987 Tercel 4WD "wagon". This car has been extraordinarily reliable and is/was a simply awesome machine as far as reliability goes. 20R Motor, well regarded as bulletproof. Blew the timing belt at 200,000, put in a new one with a $100 kit, and still going to this day. Gotta freaking love that, blow the timing belt and nothing breaks. Not to mention the prototype of more or less all of the SUVs we know and love today. Love your videos BTW
Toyota and BMW? Sounds like back in the days where German and Japanese collaborated.
Speaking of Toyota and BMW, I actually now fear that they might merge together even more and that Toyota's quality will go down from there, and eventually won't be like the way it once was. That would be good. No lie, Toyota still makes good cars, but I just hope that doesn't happen
Are u talking about WW2?
Every car on the road for the past 35+ years is a Korean knock down kit.
There are two dozen auto makers in Korea who make car bodies for auto makers all over the world.

Never thought id see this video made by Scotty! This is why I like ya man! Keep it up!
*_Those words have never been spoken, I love Scotty's Originality._*
Easy Fix And thanks to BMW the new supra will have no originality
Cost prohibitive for them to design a new sports car, when production costs are high and profit is low. Joint venture with BMW made it possible to release another sports car. Some may not agree with it, but it was what needed to be done to be able to release a sports car at lower risk.
Hi Scotty, you didn't mention the MR2 in your Toyota sports car review, why? Thanks for all your fantastic and entertaining videos. Your insight is greatly appreciated!!!
He has a point. Go back to long lasting reliable cars Toyota.
Toyota never made a bad car ever

Scotty you had me shaking throughout the whole video cause the Camry on thumbnail is the same model I have😂😂😂😂😂😂
The prodigy@: exactly....and that body style Camry 12-14.5 has been on the top of very best Camry's list since the 1990s Camry models. Engine oil burning problems of 2.4 were CORRECTED with 2.5 that is in this car. Engine along with tranny is bulletproof. Scotty goofed putting up that thumbnail as being bad.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
The Prodigy oh man thanks for clearing that up lol! I’m typing this comment while the video isn’t over yet. Now I can enjoy the video with no anxiety
Scotty, I love your candor and step outside your comfort zone with this statement about toyota's sports cars... but the 1992-1998 Supra 2JZ motor is still one of the most overengineeered unicorn of an engine of its time. You cannot deny this.
much good infomation again good advice thank u scotty...Gods blessing..
My Toyota Camry engine blew because the piston ring was bad there was a few years the engines were made bad and it burned oil let's talk about that it's a common problem there was a class action lawsuit Toyota Camry like 2009
Some 2001-2003 Toyota V6 engines had oil sludge problem with a class action law suit.
The 3.0 V6. My friend had a 2002 Camry so-equipped that she bought new. The oil sludge issue developed after 2 years & only 24k miles on it. Toyota refused to fix it.
Thank you for all the effort you but making these videos Scotty , Big fan of your channel from KSA 🇸🇦💚
Toyota not a sports car company?..hmmm Toyota MR2, Celica GT4, Supra say otherwise...then of course Lexus RC, LC and LFA. I'd also argue that the 86 is much more than just a rebadged Subaru, that was a true collaborative effort with Subaru and has been a commercial success & is a very pure ports car as well as a good reliable car. Even the new Supra. I'm as disappointed as anyone about the BMW engine and transmission, but Toyota has has significant input into the development of that car, it's not JUST a rebadged BMW..although I wish they just used the Lexus 3.6 V6 twin turbo and their 8 or 10 speed auto.
The 90s 4Runner was a rust bucket. Toyota quietly compensated some of the owners, but lots of people lose money, including my brother.
NOOOOOOO! Not the Tercel! Our family bought three of them. Our 81 was actually called a "Corolla Tercel." That was Dads. The 81 moved to Alaska where the salty roads rusted out the engine mounts and then they had to get rid of it. Then my brother and I bought an 85 and 88. My brother got 350K on his until he finally put the wrong oil filter on it and it leaked and the engine blew up. I think I sold my 88 with about 180K. The people who bought my Tercel drove it for several more years after paying me only $1000 for it. Everybody got their money's worth out of that little car. Mine was the only one of the three with carb issues. We bought them because they were all we could afford at the time. I remember paying $6500 for my new 88 Tercel. We liked our Tercels even if you don't, Scotty!
Our family had two 1984 Tercel hatchbacks. We called them the Toyota turtles. They were slow but great on gas and cheap to own. There was tons of space in the hatch too. I had huge speakers back there. It was a fun but slow ride. I still think fondly of it. My uncle still drives his 1986 Toyota pickup with the 22r. The body is ugly but he doesn't care. We live in Hawaii. There are lots of 22r Toyota trucks still on the road. :)
@@mistertakeuchi984 Best mileage I ever got on my 88 Tercel was 43 MPG but that was on a long trip across the country. Not too bad for a car back then. I had a 1985 Toyota Pickup with the 22R, too. Had about 250K on it when I sold to a couple of Mexican guys. They wanted to use it for work in the fields. Loved that little pup. Sometimes regret selling it.
My uncle still owns a 1986 Toyota pickup with the 22r. He bought it new and although the body is rusting and starting to fall apart the drivetrain is solid. He said that people are always approaching him and asking if he wants to sell. He does all the maintenance on it himself. That 22r is legendary.
I loved our ‘86 Tercel. Finally traded it after 300,000 miles, and I still miss that car.
I agree with you scotty with the Scion. I have my scion xb and I believe they stop making the xb. What a mistake! It is such a good everyday vehicle and i would buy another one if it dies on me. Im hitting 150k in 8 years and STILL no major work done. Simply changing my fluids on time and rotating my tires. I love my 🚙. Thanks for the videos sir!!
Because of you Scotty I've saved myself from making so many mistakes. I now make sure to check if you have any thoughts on the car I'm looking at. Thank you.

@William Kyle The echo was my first car, got it when I was 18. It had 270k miles, no power windows, no power steering. Nothing ever broke.

You didn't talk about the 2az-fe, all aluminum 4 with stripping head bolts and bad oil consumption from poor piston and ring design. (2002 and up.)
I have one with over 200 thousand miles on it a Vibe GT and it doesn’t burn a drop of oil. Haven’t touched the engine besides changing spark plugs the best car I’ve ever owned.
TOYOTA fixed thst issue on next generation 2AZ-FE engines
The moral of the story is that all car brands have problems. It's bound to happen with all the engineering that goes into them. You really need to research the exact make/model/year before buying, and get a used car inspected. Very good maintenance can minimize the effects of engineering problems, but that doesn't mean those problems don't exist.
I had 2009 version of the 2az-fe. Pretty reliable engine and when it came to modifying surprisingly you can build of those 2.4l motors to handle 1000hp if you wanted to. My older brother in Pennsylvania has a 06 tC that is making 400whp but the engine itself is built to where it can 1000hp with a big turbo mounted upfront. You could make a tC into a hell of a sleeper
Currently on my driveway...
- 2010 Toyota Corolla
- 2015 Toyota Camry XLE V6
- 2018 Toyota Camry XSE V6
Loving them and could not see me driving something else!!!
Christopher Huynh the new camrys are so nice (just wished they offered manual transmission)
My family has two hondas and two toyotas. We are not buying another car for a long time.
Love my 2zz 04 XRS Matrix. But yeah...learning more about this oil starvation issue. Gonna keep my eye out for a 1zz oil pan.
Nose_Art_Guy_dotcom he makes it out to be a worse problem than it actually is
Scotty, I think you left one car off the list. In 1967, my mother bought a brand new Toyota Corona and it was a lemon. She started having all kinds of problems with it 6 months after she bought it. My dad always had Datsuns back then and they always ran good. My first new car was a 1977 Datsun B210 Honey Bee that was a great first car. I do love Toyotas. I have a 99 Tacoma and a 2003 Camry that still run great.
07-11 Camry's are garbage. Cheap interior. Ugly styling. Not nearly as well built as the older ones. Hurt the Camry legacy.
New one is nice
Dylan Mark dude nobody buys them to brag about the interior what’s your point
They are quick for a 4 cylinder mid size car though
Funny i see them all the time with over 200k on the Odometer at my dealership
And on top of that some of them in that generation of Camry (I think the 4 cylinders) had excessive oil consumption. Like a quart every 1,000 miles! Possibly the worst Camry ever made. 2012-17 seem to be a lot better so far. 2018+ are too new to tell
What is Scotty's review on the MR2 Turbo and/or the naturally aspirated?
I want to talk about unintended acceleration on Toyota cars. It's a very scary thing and never really was fixed .
Good morning Scotty!
morning!
@@scottykilmer Hi Scotty, Is there a video about the best cars Toyota or other Japanese car makers ever made ? If no, will you make one please ?
@@virtuosowins the TOYOTA Hilux, Land Cruiser, Fortuner, Rav4, Corolla, Carina, Corona Premio, Crown, Camry, Wish, are some of the best cars around the world. Unfortunately not all are sold in the United States.
@@riteshpahladsingh3819 How true. One of my favourites is the Century. The only V12 put into production by a Japanese car manufacturer.
I love my 1st gen Scion tC but the 2AZ-FE burns oil like no tomorrow. They have many problems with bad piston rings and locking up because of it
Talks about Toyota sports cars. Forgets MR2.
I'd love a 1MZ-FE swapped MR2.
I have a 2zz swapped MR2 Spyder with coilovers. It's a reliable, economical rocket on rails. Although, a bit awkward looking.
Why??? Toyota v6s sound TERRIBLE
Hey Scotty, Love the videos. I was thinking about buying a used Solara Convertible. Any opinions on the car. Never had a convertible and looking for a reliable one. Thanks in advance.
Rev up your broken down Toyotas.
You don't take good care and well maintained your Toyota I supposed
Broken Down Toyotas are like unicorn tears.
If you can.
@@nicholasse7enfold No, that's supposed to be the Toyota hallmark, all you have to do is change oil every few million years (IOW, no maintenance). I know, my sister makes that claim herself. If I haven't been clear enough, you can let it rot somewhere, never change the oil, and it's just as good as new, lol.
Was waiting for this...
My first semi new car was a 91 Tercel. I loved it! The fact that you see none of of them left means something.
Still see many in Ontario and do not rust!
Years ago, I drove a rental Tercel for one month and it was like driving a toy car. I now have a Yaris and it is little better when I'm going uphill or entering a freeway. I am grateful for any advice that you give.
Surprised he didn't mention anything about the oil burning of the 2AZ-FE.
No worse than the 1ZZ-FE.
Not cool with Toyota fan base...
I'm not saying the oil burning isn't fixable, but who wants to take the time to modify their car, right? It's the only reason I still have an '09 camry 2.4 @ 380k miles.
Avoid 07-11 Toyota Camry like the plague. It was one of their worse cars ever, burning oil like a candle
Funny Scotty didn't bring that up
tC has the same problem from similar years, same engine
absolutely agree. loved my 2003 camry though
And the 2010 Prius.
@Game Over Nope, but some people got lucky and got a new engine free. Most dealerships are trained to push the customer around and deny the issue with some BS oil consumption test. My dealership kept making me jump through hoops, until I got frustrated and got rid of the damn thing
Scion wasnt a bad idea, Toyota corp didnt invest enough.
The GT86 is actually a toyota-designed chassis with a subaru-sourced drivetrain. They are actually quite fun to drive, and aside from potential reliability issues with the boxer engine fairly good cars. Considering it's the only model toyota saved when they axed Scion I'd say it was a success. I see them all over the place on the road.
yep
Good video, not very well known information and very true. Although you should have mentioned the oil and piston ring issues with the 2.4l 2 AZFE 4 cylinder engines. Especially considering that these are in Many different models. Most of the video was talking about more rare vehicles that most Toyota buyers wont buy.
Oil consumption problems in those cars were a bit overblown. Like yeah compared to what Toyota normally makes maybe they had a couple of issues, but they were still better than what you could get elsewhere, especially compared to domestic vehicles.
Damn you for showing the car I just bought in the screen grab! The red 2012 camry! You gave me a heart attack because I got rid of my money pit VW GTI for this car, lol
For Toyota sports car, you forgot to mention the Celica GT4 and the MR2 Turbo.
I wonder why the mr2 was discontinued?
Celica gt4 and mr2 have the 3sgte made by yamaha
@@kevingulley6980 Oh, because was a fkin deathtrapp with snap oversteer? Because it was a servicing nightmare like all mid engined cars?
Hey Scotty any reviews in the Ford Flex.
I’m planning to buy one soon
I cant believe he didn't talk abouth the oil consumption problem on the 2.4 liter engine in the late 2000's. Thats was a real problem.
Wasnt to big of a problem most only burned a quart every 3k miles
I drive a 2008 scion tc their engines out of the factory sucked. They burned oil due to a factory defect (the seals around the pistons.)! I got my engine rebuilt for free. They did a recall on them I was burning a quart of oil in about 1000 miles haha! They changed out the pistons and cleaned everything. I had 50k on it. I basically have a new engine. Currently I have 140k on that same car. The next thing I have to worry about is my clutch! Sadly its starting to slip.
Hey scotty what's the best Toyota make that haven't been recalled, long lasting and good for school or work commute?
The image of the early 90s Tercel engulfed in white smoke brings back lots of memories for me.
No mention of the 2007 to 2009 2AZ-FE engines that were installed in many Toyota products? These engines are known oil burners.
scotty - "In my opinion turdcells were a mistake." editor inserts the fiat logo, lmao
The 1993 Toyota Truck was a big mistake! The 2.4 litre engine had a aluminum engine with a steel head. The head gaskets would go out about every 40,000 miles because of uneven heating bttween the aluminum engine and steel head. After three head gaskets I got rid of this disaster.
Scotty's very entertaining and seems very knowledgeable. I'd love to see what his take is on gasoline additives that claim to clean your engine's fuel system, intake, injector nozzles, and spark plugs. Has anyone heard of Marvel Mystery Oil?
Scion made sense at the time...Toyota wanted to appeal to a younger audience but their reputation as stodgy white-bread grandpa cars was cause for concern. So, they invented a new brand, targeted the marketing to younger people, and sold basic affordable cars with at least a little bit of character.
Problem was that basic affordable Toyotas appeal to older buyers too, so it never took off as a youth oriented brand. Case in point: I was 40 when we bought our xD 10 years ago :)
Well said. Today's Toyotas are definitely not styled for Senior Citizens.
Scion are really reliable.
@@rightlanehog3151 Nor are they designed for anybody with any sense of aesthetics, with the possible exception of the 86 :)
Lol I remember reading articles about how the xB was great for the older folk due to its ergonomically high seating position. Not at all what they were intending.
@@lukeclayton7578 - Yeah I have a '04 xB and the only people I have seen in them are older, practical folks. But the advertising _was_ directed at the opposite demographic. Maybe the other sportier Scion models were appealing to the youth market. I do like the idea of amortizing the $17K over 15 and counting years.
Forgot to mention the bad 2.4L engines they put on camry and rav4.
What's wrong with those engines?
@@dontelindsey5846 oil consumption and bad pistons. Junk motors.
This man should have everyone who watches TH-cam videos sub to him. Best mechanic ever 💯
The CURRENT Tacoma's have shifting / clunking transmission issues that cannot be fixed...... Last gen Tundra's had snapping camshafts and rusting out frames.....07 Camry's had complete transmission failures from 5 - 10K .... leaking master brake cylinders and other issues I can't recall.....No need to go back to the 80's.....
Barry A, had a 17 Tacoma for about a year, took it off road several times, nothing but problems with the tranny and Toyota couldn't fix it.....
And yet even with all those issues they still have had less problems in their lineup than Ford, GM and Chrysler and even the others.
Pretty amazing but then again guess nobody can be perfect.
The Tacoma issue sounds like it has an easy solution get a manual transmission problem solved😉
It’s also a good reminder to heavily research whatever you intend to buy and join dedicated car groups to that model before hand to get real world views rather than rely on word of mouth.
Not only will you find the problems you also see the solution👍
Some good points though, not even mad for seeing this post.
@@Johnsmith-ec9eq The Tacoma frame issue affected a ton of those trucks from 97+, when they outsourced some of their frames from Dana, with inferior rust prevention. I'm not aware of any issue with the big 3 truck frames rusting out, especially not anywhere near this level. Trucks were literally breaking in half and Toyota never did a recall. They did some buybacks and some replacements, if you happened to of gotten a letter in the mail in some arbitrary time frame.
Scotty, what about the infamous 2AZ-FE 2.4L 4 cyl that Toyota put in a bunch of their cars? It has a design flaw with the pistons and oil rings after 2006 and up through 2006 the block was not tapped enough for the head bolts.
I have a 2007 toyota camry se. Pretty sure It has that engine and mine runs great. Chrrently 145,000 miles on it
How about the hideous design of some models, like the current Prius ?
It’s designed for aerodynamics-that’s a huge part of the 60mpg they get.
Aero for high mpg, sure, understand. But they didn't have to make it "that" ugly...
I wonder how much extra mpg is generated by the retarded boomerang tail lights.
Jon M Yeah I’ve never driven one but sure would ride one with great gas mileage like that. I don’t think it’s ugly at all personally.
@@Luckingsworth It cant get up to highway speeds from the on-ramp. that makes it dangerous.
Is a matter of a opinion lol
I love it when scotty rings the bell because its like i get a glimpse of him going home after eating a hot and stringy grilled cheese on a white plate and he dips a small corner in the soup as he read next to his fireplace mmmm
We used to have a Scion Xb. It was my wife's main vehicle. We really liked it. It was the second generation one that was a little more rounded off. We only got rid of it because our family was growing and we needed a larger vehicle. I have found memories of that car.
Why does Scotty keep forgetting about the oil consumption on the 2AZ-FE? Most Scions were reliable but second gen xbs and first gen tcs we're plagued with this issue. That engine was on almost everything at the time in Toyota's vehicle lineup and honestly I think it's the biggest mistake Toyota has ever made. The main culprit: premature piston ring wear.
Matthew Heckman you are so right!
Reason I won't go back to Toyota.. I had a 2010 tC that Mr. Regular reviewed. Great car, burned oil and Toyota didn't care because it wasn't 1qt per 1200 miles. It got worse and they pushed me aside because I did the consumption test earlier in its life.
WHAT ABOUT THE 2007 to 2011 OIL BURNING ?????
2007 to 2009 2.4L had the oil consumption problems
Had a 85 Tercel wagon growing up. Was an excellent reliable vehicle!!
I miss old Toyotas though, like the MR2s, All-Trac Celicas, and the rwd Carolla AE86. Definitely a sports car theme going on.
What about the Toyota MR2s? They were nice little sports cars -- especially the supercharged ones!
My father was a mechanic and he told me the same about that camry with diesel
Marcos Mercedes Nuñez - Germans make the only diesel cars worth considering. VW diesel rabbit (the German models at least) were incredible little cars.
Brian P. You obviously haven’t had much to do with other diesel Toyota’s. All the diesels in the Toyota landcruisers and hiluxs are among the best diesel motors ever built. Will out live any VW motor.
@Iedy Iedy- It's getting to where cleaning up diesel exhaust is becoming uneconomic. Just look at the huge thing hanging under diesel trucks. The exhaust scrubber and catalysts cost more than the motor.
"My celica is not a sports car"
Yeah Same with AE86.
IT is just a corolla.
NOT!! Seriously..drive one..fun as heck! Subaru supplies the engine & tranny...Toyota supplies the engine management system...& they both do their own bodywork.... Scotty would know about blown head gaskets...but ive had 2 WRX models (04 stage 3) & a 15 limited stock... absolutely no engine issues... im going back to WRX after im done doing UBER with my Mazda3..
So supra is just a gs300?
