Hi Scotty nice video, i know you love lexus who doesn't ! but i just wanted to let you know that lexus prices in Egypt are starting at 2.5 million EGP for the ES350, so we can't buy any for a reasonable price ,& Also Toyota corolla & its family are assembled in turkey , so its never a good choice to get any of these as new nor used , What do you think?
Hi Scotty am from Kenya can I use kixx cvtf on my Honda insight 2010 model
What u think about the 2022 Kia k5 1.6 liter turbo charged?
My 05 accord still running like a champ. Stay strong and loyal Honda fans. 🙏
My 05 accord ex with 2.4 l 4 cyl has 210,000 miles and ac blows ice cold!
Same
I got an '04 and mine is still going well.
07 accord with 250,379 miles and going strong!
My 2001 accord VP has 300,000+ miles and it still runs great.

Hahahaa true
@@yumikimiko398 Yeah I'll have to keep an eye on that situation. What do you think of the 86s?
I've had 5 Hondas starting with a 1990 Accord, 94 Accord, 88 and 90 Rex si's, then a 07 Civic and the one Accord and civic I kept stock lasted an easy 200k before I had trans problems in the 90 Accord and I sold the Civic with zero problems at like 210k miles. Been a mechanic for 24 years and still still sticking with Honda
I got a 93 accord with 205k on it manual trans and still going strong!
@@jonatanhernandez7548 Blown head gasket was the nail in the coffin for my '93 that I put out to pasture back in '12...she had 314k
Yes . I've owned a ton of Hondas 🥂 everything from accord , civic prelude crv , tl . Still have a 94 civic ex coupe Aztec green with og 104k miles . A 95 civic sedan , 07 tl and also now have a 21 accord 2.0t . I've owned other vehicles besides Hondas but they've always given me trouble. With our Hondas we've never had any drivetrain issues besides reg maintenance. But our 90's Hondas we're and are manual cars . Except 1 96 accord. I've had several accords from 94-21 and several preludes aswell . Only Honda here 💯 our driveway has 5 Hondas resting in it 🤙🤙🤙 also had a 94 accord wagon with a built h23 bluetop sir swap 🔥 shot 5 foot flames 😵💫😵💫 you can find it on UA-cam is brandy red . Did a tug of war with a early white f750 or 650 . 🥴 Wasn't me driving though 🤣
the real question is CVT or 10 speed transmission?
But now they have turbos in them are they still reliable with turnos

The gen X accord was just rated as the lowest to own and maintain vehicle made within the last 5 years. Honda and Toyota don't forget their customers looking to own upwards of 20+ years
@@tomtheplummer7322 looks like it’s Hoovie's now.
She is one overused woman. 1000000 miles and still driving. lmao
2011 3.5 accord has ran excellent since I purchased it. Change the oil and spark plugs regularly, has 127 k on it and still runs great. All Honda products are the best, I have owned 2 Accords and 3 civics, 3 civics because of my 2 hour drive to work. Wrecked one and gave one to my son. Can't go wrong with a Honda.
its great comfort to read this, just got a used 3.5L Honda, thanks man
I own it also but 2008. need suggestions, do you turn the VCM off?
My 1.5T in my civic just rolled over 200k. No issues in cold Minnesota.
I average 42 miles per gallon.
I don't think the 1.5 is enough for the accord, but i just got a 2.0t and i've got 29.3 mpg with some flooring it and having fun with my new car. but "The owner is 20 years old " in this, no idea how he is getting 20 mpg but it's in that
I drive a civic 11th gen w the 1.5t, so much freaking fun. @@randomyoutubeaccount6906
It’s not about civic but accord
I’m proud to say that I have a 2001 V6 Accord fully loaded. My dad bought it brand new gave it to me in 2009 and I am driving it to this very day. When it’s time to put the old Accord out into the pasture I will definitely consider buying one of these 2.0 L Accord EX-L’s!!!
I hope they will make them with beige leather again, I really liked the beige ones in the previous generation, but I'm not sure if they're available in more recent years
Have a 99 V6👍

To follow up, not only is the beige nice looking, but it stays a lot cooler and resists damage much better compared to black
@@AudreysKitchen They still make it
“The fancier they are, the more they cost “ - Inserted image was classic.
Yea, and fancier is definitely NOT better!
I saw that! 😆🤣😂😹
I got a 2016 honda accord sport. Got it brand new. Got 320,000 miles on it and I haven't had not any issues under the hood yet. Everyday i get in it I'm just amazed how it just still going and rides great still. Almost didn't buy it but the best purchased I've ever made
I just bought a beautiful 2012 Accord V6 manual coupe. It's rated 17 city, 25 highway but I got over 26.5 mpg at 85 mph on a 1200 mile trip. I love that 3.5 V6! It's smooth, torquey, and quiet.
My daily driver for almost 10 years now has been a 2000 civic, I want to upgrade but this damn thing just won't die....222k going strong 💪🏾great video!
Same as my 1999 civic, it keeps going and going.
Now, if you were putting the money you would have spent buying a new car into a good mutual fund every month, you would be a multimillionaire when you are 55 years old.
And THAT my friends is why we buy Reliable, Low Maintenance automobiles! ! !
@@brucejones2354 I totally agree 👍
please, save yourself from grief and frustration, delays in daily travels.....STICK WITH THAT W I N N E R.....you got 5 more years to go on it. bro
What makes you wanna upgrade ? buy problems ??
@@petersack5074 lmao 🤣 I actually wanted to upgrade to a civic sport 2.0 of course not that damn 1.5 turbo
My 96 Accord just gave out after 20+ years of service. Well above 500k and still ran like a champ, they really are reliable cars if you keep up with the maintenance.
This is great to hear as I have just recently secured a 96 with 98,000 original miles and have been super stoked about the acquisition. My first Honda 🥲
yes my Accord got 487,000 miles and I sold it to someone for 1000 dollars - I heard it got up to 800,000 miles now

Every time I go get an oil change I ask what else needs to be done, they said they can't find anything since I get everything they recommend.

I had the 1.5L for 3 years now and had zero problems with it. It's a great car
Lol 3 yrs is nothing
does your oil smell of gasoline?
@@bkhavityoway23 ..Stop it🤣... . Maybe they are the lucky ones & have no oil dilution problems.
@@foresight2pable just asking a question. i have the 1.5l in the accord and oil dipstick wreaks of gasoline
thinking about getting the 2022 accord. 1.5LT problem sound very concerning to me. maybe a camry instead
I've got a 2018, 2.0 Touring. It is a fantastic car! I live in Louisiana where we have the worst roads in the nation, and shockingly I have never burst a tire!
Lol come drive on a Michigan road
@@DarrinLintz710 Wisconsin as well.
@@chachi9525 No come drive in Lagos Nigeria.
I’m driving a 2018 Accord EXL with the 2.0 for just under 5 years. So far no problems (34,000 miles). On several road trips (over 1,000 miles) overall gas mileage was 30 mpg. I went with the 17” wheel and not the low profile. Ride is very good, handling also very good. Important to me, fun to drive with no problems
Only 34k miles. My one 2018 accord sport over 160k still running no issues at all❤
@@staycloseNYis your Accord CVT transmission ?
@@4sumcrazyshit yes automatic cvt honda accord 1.5 sport 2018
Scotty in every single video after that tesla one:
"Rides better than the tesla did"
ikr lmfao he hates that tesla
Tesla’s are for self important people
I bought a Scion and put low profile tires. Looked cool, rode like metal skate wheels and the speedo was off. I swapped the Pirelli's for larger Continentals on the same rims that corrected the speedo error. Best thing I ever did. Improved the ride 100% and made it quieter.
When i first Bought my 2017 Accord V6, i took it over to a Sound Guy that does Hi Tech Car Radio Sound Stuff !! I gave him $1,200 to Install Sound Matting through out the Entire Car, Now it's Much Quieter, than the top of the Line Lexus !!! Im Very Pleased !!! I don't like a Noisy Car !!!
I recently purchased a 2020 Honda Accord Touring just like this one with the 2.0T with the 10 speed transmission and 18k miles on it. I just want to point out that I am an Uber driver who works out of the airport so most of my rides are anywhere from 5 miles to 40 miles away. I drive probably about 70% highway miles and after having my car just over a month, I am averaging over 27 mpg so far. I drive it in the econ mode mostly, but do occasionally have to dump the pedal to merge or whatnot, so I am not a serial easy driver on the car. It still gets the mileage even when I have to floor it sometimes merging onto the highway. I am very happy with the car so far and everyone compliments on it, especially the pearl white paint.
I’m so relieved to know the exact make and model I have has Scotty’s blessing.
I have a sport 2.0T with 10-speed auto. It trolls people at the drag strip, completely stock!
@@Nadbull49 got the videos to prove it. Not as fast as my 18 SS, but quicker than my 18 acura TLX SH-AWD and my pontiac GTP.
@@SSDracerSD good for you man that's awesome. I was just joking earlier, don't know why that guy got tits tied about it
@@SSDracerSD I love your videos!!
You've got to go up against the right ones though! LOL
Yep, When I test drove my Touring 2.0T, I knew it was the one.
I just purchased a 2018 Accord Sport 2.0T on Monday and I love it! I just saw this review today… and well… I love it even more! Thank you, Scotty, for the fantastic review on it! And yes… the wheels look nice… but… other than that? Time will tell… 😊 I bought mine with just shy of 23,000 miles on it. Certified pre owned. 100,000 mile warranty from the day I bought it, NOT retroactive! 😊
Hows it holding up so far
I own a 2006 Honda Accord EX 2.4L I4 VTEC with 285,000 plus miles. It keeps on keepin on!!!!!!!! Runs like new. Regular service and occasional parts. Saved me tons on car payments on a newer financed vehicle. Keep it up Scotty!!
is it still running?
I have the same Car 😊 210k still pushing
Is it still running my 08 i4 is at a little over 300k miles ! 🎉
I own this car 19 Accord Touring 2.0t. 🤘🤘I average 23-25 city 35-37 highway. I’m at 32k miles and no issues.
Rivals get better mileage
@@dragospahontu the Honda is an overall better car than any of its rivals
@@drepark2294 Yea, and with about a fifteen gallon tank and over 30s on the highway, I say its a good bargain. I bet hes only getting 20s in the city cause he constantly has it in sport mode most likely.
@@drepark2294 Camry is miles ahead trans and engine eveything better Ik carbon build up on the Camry not gonna happen with the D4s system unlike Honda
@@andersonrodriguez8258 LOL, I’ve had both... the accord drives miles better than the Camry... current accord has 150k miles with about $400 of non wear and tear issues in 6 years. Camry had reliability but was boring as hell to drive and didn’t feel nearly as solid.
3 years later, Scotty is still my go-to channel. I’ve had my ‘04 Honda Accord LX 2.4L sedan. She’s got 330,500 miles on her and still going strong 💪 I’m 25 years old and have had my baby since I was 15 🎉 Still driving my first car 🤘🏻
I couldn't agree more about low-profile tires. Junk.
They look great but what a nightmare!
@@srt4788 For sure. I've never had...but they don't have much threads on them, even when new. My friend would never have again...says he didn't get many miles out of them. I would not buy a car with such tires.
Let's put the tow camber more 😂😂
I found the tires one size too narrow for the wheel width which makes the wheels very vulnerable to curb rash also. The sport should have 245's and the touring should have 235/18's.
@Jonathan McCully I got a near base model with 205/60R16s and they can take a beating!
I love how ever since the Tesla video he compares the suspension of every car to it and says its better lol.
Scotty, I own the exact same car. It's a 2019 2.0T with 80K on the clock. Not a single issue with the car whatsoever. The only thing that I have done is oil changes every 6K and I had the transmission fluid changed at 60K with genuine Honda fluid. I also own a 2004 Mach1 and may I say that the Mach1 is faster, this 2.0T gives it a run for the money! It's a very reliable car. I did have the option of buying it without the low profile tires and I took it. It still has the original tires with plenty of tread left.
How is the car now?
@@AA-jk1es Sorry to say it was in a bad accident while my wife was driving it. A driver with a Tahoe fell asleep at the wheel and T-Boned my wife where they had to cut the passenger door off the car to get he out. She spent a month in the hospital with a broken ankle and three ribs. Thankfully, she made a decent recovery. Mentally, she still has a phobia driving. I bought her a CRV and I sold the Mach1. I now drive a Nissan Frontier Pro4X. I love that Frontier.
@@thechuckster6838 Oh man! Really sorry to hear that. Im glad she is okay now. Hopefully her phobia will away too.
i would pay Scotty to review my car and tell me that it is an endless money pit
Smdh should've bought a 94 celica
Me too my dam 2010 explorer was in shops almost the entire last 6 months with 7000 in repairs that usually resulted in mechanics breaking something each failed repair until I dumped it for a loss and bought a electric bike
@@joelincolnlincoln6315 my Ford SHO was a money pit. My Accord was a dream and my TLX is fun. Both of these Hondas have total repair costs less then my SHO and with 4 times the total millage!
@@Sola_Scriptura_1.618 yeah I bought 2 old pilots and so far 4000 miles not penny spent on repairs yet. Carvana bought my explorer for 7700 I got lucky. That car was designed to crumble after 10 years even. Both key chains crumpled in same year.
Nothing like those 90's Hondas though. You still see a ton of them on the road along with the Corollas
Those cars are OGs of Longevity. Can last forever
I miss my 1998 Hoda Accord.
last good honda civic car made has to be the civics with the K20 engine which was the 8th gen
Theyve all rusted out in the snow belt. Bulletproof reliability otherwise.
I got an h22 around 500k, than a 01 civic hitting 230k...engines are beast.
We have two 2015 Honda Accord hybrids. We've had zero problems with both other than normal maintenance. Love that we can drive almost 700 miles on 14 gallons of fuel.
My dad never have to fix Honda hybrids beside Toyota hybrids lol in his 20 years of being a mechanic.

On June 18, I celebrated the three-year anniversary of my 2018 Civic EX-T (1.5-liter, turbo). I live in Westchester County, NY (Not too cold. Not too hot).
In those three years, I've driven 76,600 trouble-free miles (averaging 33.9 mpg city/highway). No oil dilution issues. No performance issues.
I'll be back in another year to update everyone on this "infamous" Honda 1.5-liter turbo engine.
I have a 2017 civic lx coupe manual with the 2.0L engine. I’m getting 25.6mpgs purely city driving at 28,788 miles. Only issues I’m having is the AC and road noise. Any advice on what I can do for these problems?
I'm also in westchester. My wife has a civic 16 and I love em. Ride better than my elantra sport
I had the 1.5L for 3 years and never had a problem at all even after an accident, now I have the 2022 hybrid and it’s great and has a 2.0L engine
I just bought a 2020 Honda Ridgeline RTL e and I love it.
Oh boy good luck

The 1.5 oil dilution problem is only for people who drive about 5 miles to work and never let the car reach operating temperature. If you drive 20+ miles one way you will have no problems. I actually drive mine roughly 1000 miles a week and have never had a issue. 92k so far and I fully expect it to go 300k or more. Don't be afraid of the 1.5
My 07 Honda with 210000 miles is still running like a champ
My Honda broke down on Monday... BUT... a 2004 with 192k miles, $75 and about 5 minutes had me back on the road with a new ignition coil.
,, yup keep driving it
Damn 🔥
My ‘98 Honda Accord still running strong. Still haven’t had a major problem.
Most roads in the USA are just too rough for low profile tires.
I have 20 inch wheels on my honda accord. 255 35r20. Rides very smooth. Not quite as nice as say like a 50 series tire but it runs pretty smooth. And I live in Ohio. I have no issue.
@@mauriciowinston5293 same. I have wide sticky pilot sports on my IS and the car handles so well because of it. Most roads where I live in socal aren’t rough for them at all. people just don’t know how to avoid the potholes and imperfections that pop low profile tires.
Also exactly the reason I don't want to lower my car.
I hate the 19” wheels on the Accord Sport. They get dinged easily. I’ve had to replace the low profile tires before two years and had two blow outs. Besides that engine has been great
@@stevecontos3317 i feel you. That's why I went with a wider tire (255 instead of stock 235). To give more protection against curb rash.
I still have my 2018 1.5T with 70k miles on it and it literally still runs like its brand new... Not a single issue with that car its quite impressive actually.
I have the 2018 Civic Sport Touring Hatchback with the 1.5T and have to admit, I love it too!
Better than the 2.0? planning to get one 2021

@@sleepingbanshee_ 2.0t is more powerful and fun
2.0t should be more fun and reliable but certainly eats more gas. Though to be fair the 1.5t it's plenty fast but I do worry about oil dilution
Love this. Came across it by accident. I have a '17 Accord Coupe. I get 32-38mpg on the highway. I never want to get rid of it. I just hit 100k miles yesterday.
I love how Scotty's volume Blows out my surround sound speakers from time to time...🤣🤣🤣
My 2.3 Ford Ranger gets 23/26 mpg @ 65/70 miles per hour...and it is 33 years old with 364,000 miles on it!
To be fair I have a 97 jeep grand cherokee with 143k and I'm getting 16 mpg so I really don't know how they're only getting 20 lol
Those Honda's have a 10 speed automatic, if he drove it in the highway at low rpm's he'd be getting 35mpg at least, but if you do city driving and you stomp on it frequently (the guy is only 20) the mileage he's getting seems pretty accurate, especially if doing short trips with a cold engine.
I drove from Washington to California in my 2.0t Accord and averaged around 40-45mpg on the highway
@@BCautosutions some old timer who thinks their beater truck is always better than new tech because a kid has a lead foot. I never got that low of gas mileage when I owned my 2.0T accord. The lowest I’d get was 28 and that was all stop / go traffic
@@pb4ugo08 wow thats really interesting on how these 2.0T sips gas on freeway. Cool to know. Tks for the info
2010 Honda accord ex I think. 220k miles. Needs exterior makeover but still running strong with cold A/C.
"The fancier they are the more they cost...." LOVE IT!
Scotty needs to make car mix from Toyota-Honda, and thats gonna be perfect 😀😀

That's a hell of a car- gonna get me one of those Touring Accords next year or 2. Hell of a damn ride.

always wanted to hear his thought and now i am even happier that I got this car
I have low profile tires. They look great. I just popped my eighth one yesterday.
I feel your pain 😂
I have the same 2020 touring..... I LOVE MY CAR! it's so fricken fast.... People sleep on it.... It literally looks elegant and it has so much speed and pick up to it I mean I was dead set on getting a 2020 Camry V6 xse but the first time I test drove the Honda Accord touring I was in love ... It was my best 30th birthday present to myself
Hey Scotty tell your kid he’s doing a fantastic job on the editing the little pictures popping up at the perfect time crack me up Kinda reminds me of Fred Noris from the Howard Stern show
@Masi Yes I am pretty sure he does. I think I’ve heard Scotty say that before
Dude me too ...love the big gummed donkey/horse laughing one especially
I believe the oil dilution issue was only the 2017-18 CRV and Civic, not the Accord. I have a 2018 Accord Sport with the 1.5 mated to a CVT. This car is great, love the endless climb in power and once it hits full boost and VTEC kicks in it's quite the sleeper. I have surprised a few Ford and Dodge owners!
I have a 1.5t accord sport and no issues at all.
How many miles you got on it? I just got one with 90,000 and I’m a little worried
@@dattienle37 still going?

I love mine.I bought it because it did 0-60 5.4 So my wife's car wouldn't be boring to drive.
And that ten speed kicks butt!
Yeah that thing will scoot! I’m in the process of rebuilding the entire front end on my 1993 F 250 4 wheel drive! Had it since it was new, we worked it hard!
Nice dude!
Love the video. I've got a 2019 Honda Accord 2.0T and I get 30+mpg on highway according to the trip computer.
I do too. I have a 2020 EXL 2.0 and on my 38 mile commute to work I get 36-38 MPH by soft pedaling it and having it in econ mode
@@captinbeyond i think you have it backwards. In the city the turbo has some trouble kicking in whereas on the highway it is used more. In first gear for example the computer will not pump full boost because it is dangerous to motor.
Turbo boost is influenced by throttle position, therefore more boost is used during city driving. These turbos spool by 1500rpm. They will give great acceleration at the cost of mpg. In the highway not much boost is needed to maintain a constant speed which helps mpg.
City was usually 25mpg for me regular driving in normal mode. Highway was in the 30-33 mpg range.
@@captinbeyond I am the owner of this vehicle and I live in the suburbs so lots of city mileage. Hence, the low gas mileage.
@@captinbeyond it was crazy finally meeting him in real life. Spent a few hours with him. So crazy seeing my car on his channel
just bought a 2021 1.5T sport and that car can ride at 90 plus super and runs smooth!!! No complaints!!!!
I got a 2021 touring it’s a beauty and I’d put my money into a Honda any and everyday
I have a 2016 civic Touring with the 1.5 L turbo. I love mine no issues with it. 32 mpg and on trips on freeway 48.
I have a 1.5 L 2dr ‘16 Civic coupe, the thing is got 60k and I haven’t had to do anything but change the oil. Loving it so far!
@@billy120745 Same here. I have a 2017 Civic Si coupe w/ just 33k miles on it. Minimal mods, mainly just the exhaust & SRI, because I have 100k powertrain warranty and don't want to fight about anything if something goes wrong. Been great car and I hate when Scotty rags on it. It's still a HONDA.
Exaggeration on 48
Never an ounce of trouble with the 10 Civics I've owned over the last 32 years. I have full faith in whatever they do.
As a master Volvo technician, I love my 2021 Accord sport. The new 1.5 do not have delusion problems and Scotty needs to be specific on how that issue only happened in early engine serial numbers.
Yeah I read on Honda website and couple of other sources that the 10th generation Accord 1.5 has different engine design for the same engine size but I couldn't confirm for sure.
I bought 2020 Accord 1.5L sport, I am changing oil every 5000 miles, Hopefully it will last me long as my Camry pf 2010 did over 200k miles
@@digen95140 That will help if there is an issue. I installed a oil catch can as well to stop blow by.
I guess owners of newer cars are just imagining the fuel in their oil. 🙄
I read Honda already fixed the oil loss in Accord's turbo.
I have a 2018 Honda Accord hybrid and no problems so far after 2.5 years. Hopefully, the hybrid battery lasts for a while.
I got a 2014 hybrid and do you manually charge it or do you let it charge by breaking I'm worried that the battery will die. Do you use econ mode alot because it also uses the battery.
I have two 2012 Honda Civics. One is a Hybrid. Both never had any issues just change fluids. Hybrid has 356k miles and other has 186k miles. Fluids and filters only thing Iv ever changed on them. Still have original battery’s
>ACCORD< ing to Scotty, this is the one to get! Scotty u da 💣
HONDA Love! 💙
I take Scotty with a nearly lethal dose of salt. I he reminds his fans of that overbearing dad or uncle that made life hard if you were on the wrong side of his approval.
I recently change my alternator on 2013 Honda Accord after 296K miles and found out that it made Mitsubishi too 😅
Mind me asking what engine you have in your accord?
I knew Mitsubishi make good stuff
@@Ruprecttt I don't know. Mine has 4 cylinder EX-L model. I think all should be the same.
@Mild Child A mechanic once told me that every car after 200K miles, every maintenance paid itself 😂😂
@@andywilliam367 Lol 😂 that's true.
Most car don't last long after 200K.
So 296K already change Alternator is proof that Honda make sick car.
Scotty I’ve got a 2018 1.5 Accord Sport and haven’t had the first issue out of it yet ! And no oil delusion problem’s
Scotty, This video was part of the reason I decided to go with a used 2019 Accord 2.0 T Sport as opposed to getting another Altima 3.5 (My 2012 was at 200K and I could not depend on it as a daily driver and trip car) I could not be happier with the Accord, and it drives like a dream! I love the 10 speed transmission with the 2.0T.
How many miles ?
Are you really only getting 20 mpg?
Or the 24 rated?
The Toyota V6 gets 26.
I’m thinking about getting a 2019 2.0 but I live in California where gas is $5 a gallon so fuel economy is a big deal for me. What the real MPG you’re getting?
To be honest there’s always gonna be a video on literally every car telling us why not to get that particular car. Just take good care of your cars and they will last a long time.
I spent 18 grand on maintenance on my 2010 Camaro SS. That thing was a pile of crap lemon. And none of the dealers would honor the warranty. I will never buy GM again. I bought it brand new and it had problems at 2k miles. Japanese cars are superior cars. We have better pop culture and hotter chicks than them but they are superior engineers. They simply build better and stand behind their product and behind their workmanship.
@@tastybrownie7448 the hell did the chicks and pop culture had to do with cars?
@@jerelle_ 😂😂😂😂
@@jerelle_ Our culture produces better quality in the arts, etc while Japanese produce superior engineering. Each culture tends to focus on certain things. No one culture is good at everything.
You’re very right. It’s up to the owner on how long the car will last
i feel like a lot of the ppl who complain about their gas mileage being lower are the same ppl launching off of every street light...
I get 35-40 mpg routinely on the highway in my 2019 2.0T. The EX-L avoids the low profile tires but has leather, 10 speakers, and much cheaper than Touring.
Watching this knowing I own a 2021 Honda Accord Sport 1.5.
Lmao
Sell it fast
Watching this I’m glad I own a 2020 v6 Camry instead
@@naveenthemachine that car will last you atleast 30 years if you take proper care of it and don't abuse it
@@M447DT oh don’t worry. Even though I have 300hp Im afraid to abuse it haha. I got the v6 because of how quiet and smooth the engine was. The 4 cylinder model was on the noisy and unrefined side
Sold my 2019 Honda Accord Sport, it was a great reliable car. I had zero issues outside of normal maintenance. Just bought a new Subaru though and don't think I will be disappointed in the move, it drives great.
My son has a 2019 Accord Sport 2.0. It’s fast as hell. Really dig it.
I dig you.

I prefer sedans myself. SUVs are top heavy, harder to drive in wind, and get worse gas mileage along with more blind spots.
SUVs have a purpose, but sedans drive better no doubt
I agree, SUV’s are good if you have kids or live in an area that gets a lot of snow, but cars are more fun to drive and don’t feel like a giant box on wheels, almost every SUV looks and feels the same, it’s sad to see that almost every brand is trying to do away with cars and replace them with boring SUV’s and crossovers.
Upgrading from my 1998 6 gen Accord to the 2022 Honda Civic Sport. Not going to lie, it’s hard to let go of my 6 gen, but she has 285,000 miles on her.
I can hear the chuckle about the lane departure from the driver.
Thank you Scotty. I've got an 08 crv. It's got the 2.4 and 250k miles. Still runs great
Is that turbo cvt?
I’m on my 4th Honda Accord over 30 years!!! I have always had excellent ownership of all of my Honda’s, I have had 4 cylinder manual transmission and V6 automatics … always had wonderful ownership experiences with my Honda’s… and good trade in value
I have 1.5 T cRv and it still runs like it’s brand new. Never had issues. The oil dilution only happens till you break the engine in. Once your at 100km I never had a problem. Strong engines great CVT transmission.
My 98 still running at 408k miles on it and honestly still feels pretty good
Does it smoke if not change rod bearings. Real easy to do. Might even can change crank bearings too. But rod bearings go out usually way before crank bearings. You might get 6 to 800,000 miles
Rhode Island here! Thanks for coming!
I just got the 1.5 6 months ago and was a little leary. It gets an average of 35mpg. I was shocked. And it's got good get up and go. The engine is noisy, ticky. Drives very well. Corners like a bmw. Just hoping it last. Hate lane departure btw.
I had 2019 Sport 1.5T but 6 speed manual I would get 18mph if I was lucky but I'm a spirited driver. Sold it to carvana with 19000 miles and got 2022 RDX same powertrain as the touring and I'm loving it but i get 15 mph in that haha.
I was just thinking to myself like “I wonder what Scotty thinks about the new Accord 1.5T vs the 2.0T engines?” at work today. Glad you broke it down because I was interested in maybe getting a 2.0T in the future.
Do it! I bought a 2021 2.0T sport (still night pearl) about four months ago and absolutely love it. You will be shocked how quick it really is.
I’m thinking about getting a 2020 2.0T, looks great
55k miles on my sport 2.0. No serious problems except a bent strut, from Midwest pothole impacts
Scotty, you are on a roll. Keep ‘em coming.
Ive owned 3 honda accords starting with a 97 then 99 and now a 2K. I do all of my own maintenance and repairs. In my opinion they are one of the most solid built and reliable cars on earth. Right behind the Camry ofcourse. Which i own an 04 with the timing gear chain rather than belt. Love the ride and fuel economy i get with her.
I have a 2020 When I first got it I put slightly taller tires on it. Less road noise a little more cushion.
Only real downside is the sound of those large tires inside the cabin.
Can put you to sleep. Love the car!
I remember my car's in the 90s having a lane departure warning system on them. I think we called it the windshield back then🤔
I find the side view mirrors very effective, too!
👁👄👁
That’s what happens when people are too retarded to pay attention to their mirrors and blind spots.
@@Mike583 One of the first things I do to a vehicle is install small blind spot mirrors on the side mirrors, invaluable :)
It can be turned off with a single button, that way even old timers like you can figure it out.
I already wanted one of these but the damn Turbo gave me pause, good thing you gave it your blessing lol.
Still not a good idea if you're looking for a car to last a long time. Forced induction is going to wear out an engine faster, it's just basic physics.
gas millage is not an issue with the 1.5 turbo
i have had mine for almost 7 years and and i get an average of 32-35 MPG highway and city
and i drive it fast most of the time
the oil dilution is a really big issue, the oil will smell like gas pretty bad after 3500-4000 miles.
so you just change it more often. honda state 7000-7500 per oil change but i have done it at 4500-5000 every single time because of it
7 years not one single issue ever with the engine or powertrain, only issue was a electric parking brake switch failed and replaced
Afternoon Scotty, keep it up!
afternoon!
I'm sure the 2.0T is a great engine. Just to counter the mention of Honda's smaller turbo engine, I have a 2017 Civic Si 1.5T and it is a great engine. No problems, no oil dilution. Also I get 28mpg average, 40+ on longer highway only trips, using regular 87 octane.
Do you check for oil dilution yourself?? My dealer lied to us about it until we documented the hell out of it.
Honda recommends 91 or more for all manual transmission cars. Just a heads up.
@@scottjoseph7245 91 for a 4 cylinder?
Just a fyi let the gas tank go empty and throw in one of those fuel injection cleaners and fill it up with premium gas and do not keep putting 87 octane in it. your si will eventually start feeling like its losing power over time even though its a 4 cylinder it requires 91 octane or better specialy if you have a turbo. Please dont kill your engine faster than normal just because you want to save a couple dollars on gas. I have a 07 si and I didn’t know it required premium gas i was using 87 and slowly started noticing a difference specially because Si stand for sport injection which means direct fuel injection so you need to keep those fuel injectors clean with premium gas otherwise you will loose power and will have premature problems
@scottjoseph7245 my owners manual says different
On my 3rd accord 96, 06 v6 and now my 2 liter 10 AT. I get 36 highway and 25 city in my 2 liter. It's a sleeper and a grocery getter. lkas works great, heated seats and mirrors, wireless Bluetooth and charger as for the 19 wheels not sure who told you but I live in NY and my 21 made it thru it's 1st winter with 19 inch wheels on no issues.
I just bought a 2020 Honda Fit and I love it.
Great cars. The Fits will not give you fits.
Twenty year old = lead foot. No wonder he's only getting 20 mpg.
I tuned mine to get over 300hp and 360 ft/lbs, and have an intake and catless downpipe. I get 26 to 29 mpg. I have no idea how he gets only 20 when I have much more power and also drive vigorously.
@@greggc.touftree5936 any issues ?
Mine is bone stock and get 26 mpg combined.
@@Ricardo_C I was always consistently in the 24-26mpg range while driving in the city during 8-12hr shifts. Highway was in the 30-33mpg range with an occasional 35mpg depending on speed and use of cruise control. Standard cruise gave much better mpg than adaptive cruise.
RIP the 6 speed manual in the 2.0T
150,000 on my accord 2.0T, only done basic maintenance all done by me, everything is easy and accessible. Its a work horse, and i have a lead foot.
I’ve owned many Hondas in my lifetime, they’re the most reliable cars on the planet.
I bought a 2018 civic si brand new. Glad I got that year since the next they added all the radar tech as standard equipment on them. I drove up to jersey from Florida and I was averaging 45 mpg at 80 mph. Around town I average about 33 to 35mpg. Used to coast 25 bucks to fill up with premium last year now it’s about 35$.
what’s the radar tech? would the 2020 be a bad one to buy
@@Jordancleo It’s the cruise control radar and lane keep assist. Also will automatically brake for you when following a car when cruise control is activated. IMHO just more electric crap to go haywire and cost a lot more when needs repair.
Just bought a 2018 1.5 liter turbo . Fingers crossed it doesn’t have any issues . It really does ride fantastic though !
