said the same thing as Scotty Kilmer without yelling
Nor the exiting Jazz hands.
Which is why I listen to Scotty's videos in lieu of my mid-day coffee haha
and without clickbait
@@arcticwhite8501 not really clickbait if the first thing he talks about in his video is what's mentioned in the title.
And without horrendous misinformation Scotty continually spews forth.
“Hoovie is very smart with his money”
Yea you say that because he’s giving it all to you 😂
Awesome. :)
Chris ye
Abe C 🤦♂️
He just said it as it is 😂
Bingo.
"I need a car."
"Are you single? Buy a corolla."
"Have a family? Buy a Camry"
"Single and need awd? Rav 4"
"Family and need awd? Higlander"
Sage advice.
Thanks
Any particular years?
@@EMENIKEP 2009 Corolla.
@@Ecchier how about 06-08?
@@EMENIKEP all the Corolla are great cars but I would go with a Elentra. They cost less then Corolla and are better driving and have more features. Mine had been very reliable, more so than my moms Toyota.
My gf-now-wife, we're middle aged, wanted to buy a car on her own. We decided she wanted a Corolla, she'd look at a Civic. Naturally, they rolled up some sh*t box at the first dealer, after being told what she wanted. She started to walk, they brought out the low mile Corolla, boom. She's had it ever since. I was very proud of her.
I just love how calm this dude sounds
can't say that about klickbait kilmer :D
Yes very ASMR Ish
Haha he should read audio books
Ik it's kinda funny, he says things like "do NOT buy this range rover, it WILL break your bank." Or "when I'm in a nsx close your eyes, honda odyssey minivan" so calmly lmao
Same
I work at a Domino's and literally 90% of my co-workers' cars are Toyotas, most of them being the same gen Corolla you mentioned (the pic, that is). There's also two 5th gen Camrys. I myself drive a 3rd gen Camry. Only bad thing about Toyotas is you can't call out of work with the excuse of your car being broke down lmao
More Avalons on the road with over 200k than any other sedan. US, Asian, German, whatever....
The 3rd gen Camry is pretty legendary. I had a 2nd gen (1990) myself. Doesn't sound like a "car guy" thing to admit, but I miss that car. It went everywhere. It was still on the road a few years ago.
My 2004 Avalon has 360k and still runs strong
@@2003saga my 92 Camry blew it's head gasket 2 weeks ago with 378k miles. Loved that car.
@@ToadV31 My girls 92 has 213000 on it, did valve cover gaskets on it last year, shes good to go!
216000 miles on my Toyota Avalon 03, reliable couch on wheels!
My 03 buick lesabre is a more comfortable couch on wheels
My 04 Avalon was wrecked today. So so sad to lose it. It was a great great car.
@@askmeab0utmylobotomy
I had a customer who had a 2013 Mazda CX-5 with 350,000 miles on it and ran perfectly no leaks and ran like it was new.
My first car was a 2000 Avalon with 206,000 on it when I sold it. I loved it, now I drive a 2015 Kia Forte, which is a great little car, but not made for comfort like the Avalon. Forte is much better on gas and fairly reliable, but the Avalon can take a licking and keep on ticking. I baby the Forte because I know how to do maintenance myself now and I'm not 16 anymore, but if I didn't it probably wouldn't hold up like the Avalon did. I didn't even need to get rid of it, I just wanted something better on gas.
My sister bought a brand new Avalon back in 2000. Still has it however it got an engine swap. Which the mechanic she took it to said it was the oddest thing he had ever seen cause he had never seen a Toyota with only 110k miles need a new engine. Must’ve been a 1 in a million type of thing. However she put one in with 76k miles and it runs like new.

i highly doubt anyone ever considered buying an RX-8 as a family car
RX8 I have only heard bad news about
You should only buy an rx8 if you are very very familiar with rotaries,
@@MrDemonchild71 I am not but when I get a rotary car in the future it's going to be an RX7. I prefer the body styling better of the 80s-90s ones especially the FC
John Blackstone Totally, my mate used to own a series 8 twin turbo rx7, I used to love driving that around, those engines are far better and the car felt tighter but it did have alot of aftermarket bracing and suspension, his Mrs had the rx8 , it just wasn't as good in every way except acess to the back seat.
@@MrDemonchild71 back seats on 90s Japanese coupes seem to be a running Japanese joke on Americans. The worst ones I have experienced are the S13 240SX, any 92-00 Civic Coupe and just about any other sport coupes
My first car was a 92' Toyota paseo and it was an amazing car! I bought it for $800 and it ran up to 300,000 before the timing belt broke. I 100% agree with the wizard, Toyota all the way!
Timing belt is regular maintenance, like an oil change. Why would you let it break? That care would have kept going!
@@rars0n literally, dude could’ve got 500k miles. Knowing toyotas and hondas, that was probably the original belt. Crazy to think that it lasted that long
@@givenchyoverall Hondas and Toyotas are not immune to normal wear. Even a chain will stretch over time. I've never heard of a timing belt that lasted 300,000 miles. Dude bought it for $800, so it's likely the previous owners weren't as careless with the maintenance as he was.
@@rars0n Well, seeing as the 92 Paseo was a 1.5L 5E-FE engine, which is NON-INTERFERENCE, a broken timing belt isn't a deal breaker at all. In fact, the engine would just need to be rotated back to TDC and a new timing belt installed.
But it's free-running, so no damage (ie valves hitting pistons) would have occurred, leaving the engine perfectly running.
I had the same problem on my '89 Reliant, timing belt went kablooie at 200K on the 2.2L .. didn't know it was a non-interference engine, and scrapped the car because the mechanic said the engine was likely pooched, because he didn't realize it's non-interference, and I was ignorant of that at the time.
likely the OPs experience was not much different... Ignorance on a car he bought for next to nothing, with a repair that would far-outweigh the value of the vehicle, especially one with 300K miles..
Can't fault him, I mean... 300K with the original belt is unreal! He definitely got his $800 out of that little scrapper.. Likely the guy that got the car off him threw a belt on and started driving it again.
Daewoo Leganza - now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.
Hey. I’ve got a Daewoo Leganza here in the U.K. bought 18 months ago. One owner from new, I’m the 2nd owner. It’s been well looked after. It’s 21 years old and in real good condition.
I was looking for this reply so I wouldn't have to say it, lol!! I haven't seen one of those since the 90s to early 2000s. But hey, you know the wizard, he likes to throw odd balls here and there.🤷🏻♂️
Back in the 90's I got a second hand Daewoo that Pontiac rebadged and called the LeMans. I have good feelings toward it since it was my first reliable car, though that was probably due to it being the first car I owned which was less than 10 years old. I wonder of others did OK with that car.
@@Matt-bp2zu I was surprised he said that car, he usually won't bring up cars that are so rare as to be not worth mentioning.
Daewoo Lasagna - now that's a name I haven't heard ever
Next Hoovie episode: I bought the cheapest RX8 in the country!
I'd watch that.
I think he would just do it so the car wizard would have to work on it lmao
I would too that's what makes interesting for he's videos. falls
Naa fam, call me when he buy that Daewoo.
2 weeks later "I LS swapped the cheapest RX8 in the country!"
You’re right, no one listens. I tell most of my friends that ask to buy a Toyota. Very low maintenance and they just seem to run without many issues.
Toyota has issues lol burning oil is one of them
Nissan is great car also.
@@alanroberts6918 gotta specify which kind, because people will buy the newish CTV ones used on the cheap. I have a Nissan Versa, but I knew the problems going in and do all my own maintenance and have it running good.
@@Soulmodulation we build the Altima , 10 hour shifts six days a week . They have to be great cars. The 22 frontier is selling very well . It's built like a tank. I have had three Nissans , Camrys, Mazda..Chevy, Ford. Over the past 65 years ,
@@issavibez394 that was one engine close to 10 years ago, change the oil on the new Toyots at 5k and you won't have that problem.
A Honda Accord is also a good reliable sedan. I own a 2007 Accord 4cyl with 133K miles on it and it still runs like a dream. For longevity, I would buy a 4cyl model over a V6 due to higher maintenance cost(timing belt replacement mostly) and depending on the model year, some of the V6's were known for transmission issues as well.
Def i would go for an 2018 Accord 2.0T. Its powefull, its zippy to drive, modern, reliable as most Hondas, well made and beautiful.
Honda automatics are so and so, if you need to buy an automatics, make sure they are properly maintained with receipts. I was about to buy a 1998-2000 V6 accord until i heard horror stories with the auto transmission because they are not durable, often previous owners will abused it with lack of maintenance, aggressive manual shifting or not properly making a full stop while shifting from reverse to forward. I have a co-worker with a Japanese made 2000 Prelude with automatic with select shift, it conked out at for about 70 miles, he spent 2K replacing it with a salvage one and that one as well conked out in a few months.
2008 Tundra with 210,000 miles. Still smooth as a new one.
The best truck ever!
have you actually compared it to a new one or are you just making that up?
While Toyota isn't the best looking machine, the damn thing will run til the heat death of the universe.
My old man has a 20 year old corolla for a run around the clear coat has flaked off the paint work and it looks like shit. I don't think it has broken down
I like the 90s Toyota designs more. I don't want my car to draw attention to itself, just blend in and keep working.
Everything will be consumed by black holes long before the heat death. Are you saying the Toyota will keep running after having its quantum information scrambled in the black hole??
@AshtXn Do not buy any of them, due to oil sludge inside the 2.4 L four-cylinder engine.
@AshtXn Me, too. I do not like Toyota's or Honda's anyway.
It's incredible how much your production quality has improved since you began
Thats a very polite way to say that his earlier videos... sucked. Seriously though, I agree. He has certainly developed his channel. Well done him. He’s done a great job.
Definitely improved x100. Loves how he talks about a Daewoo and not an Accord lol
Yah he must have got a new mic
What about the Prius?
I've had two, both went over 300,000 miles, only one expensive repair.
Regarding video production quality... Mrs. Wizard gets two thumbs up and a shout out for that!!! You two are a good team.
Great video. Always great to hear recommendations from those who see the issues all the time. Thanks!
The man is giving us good advice. I did listen to a mechanic friend of mine and I asked him what would be a good car for my daughter. He said to get a Corolla. This was back in 2012. I found a 2010 CE, with traction control, with only 30,000 KM. My daughter is rough on cars. The car now has 220,000 KM on it and I went over it and found a torn CV joint boot, leaking drivers strut front, bearing gone on the driver's side, brakes needed doing and a few other things. I had to replace the alternator about 2 years ago. Frankly, an easy job on a Corolla takes about 1 hour and is a good time to replace the serpentine belt at the same time. So I decided to do the repairs myself and do some proactive maintenance at the same time. Replaced both struts with KYB strut kits, replaced both CV axels, replaced both front wheel bearings,( I had a shop I know press in new bearings,$60.00). I decided to replace the stabilizer links, ball joints, and outer tie rods, New sparkplugs, when you remove the CV axels on a Corolla about 4 quarts of transmission fluid comes out, so replacing it with 4 quarts of new transmission fluid is like a full fluid change in my books. The thing I find working on the Corolla is that it is an easy vehicle to work on. All the nuts bolts etc are of better quality than my Infiniti M 35X. The Corolla is a well thought out vehicle. I doubt the right strut would have needed to be replaced if she had not hit a very large pothole, I had noticed a large dent in the rim on the cars drivers side. I was able to order all the parts I needed from Rockauto, I only had to go to a Toyota dealership for the transmission fluid. I will have to replace the Infiniti soon so I think a Toyota product will be its replacement. The trusty 2006 Subaru Outback still looks good and runs well. I actually like the car, so I will keep it.

Car Wizard I love your videos and how unbiased of an opinion you retain. You truly are one of the last of a dying breed.
Love these videos, super informational!
In Oct 2018, I traded in my '02 LeSabre (3800 series 2 engine) for a '11 Equinox. Three weeks later, the main seal went. The dealer agreed to an exchange and I went to a '10 Toyota Rav4. That Rav4 is the best vehicle I have ever owned.
Those Equinoxes are hot garbage. The 4 cylinders are garbage. They’re disposable shitboxes.
Smart move. While the RAV4 is no Subaru in the snow, it's more reliable, and the V-6 version is quick for a SUV
Smart move. I had a 'hand me down' 2010 Equinox, and a 2009 Rav4 V6 4WD. Offered my son choice when he was driving age - he choose the RAV4 (sad face here). 5 years later the Equinox is gone (that thing needed yearly wrenching to keep it going), and I was afraid to go over 4,000 rpm as it might just fly apart. I now have the RAV4 back as my son's moved out (Navy). 140K+ and still going strong. Best vehicle I ever owned. Finally replaced the serpentine belt at 138K, it still looked fine, no cracks or splits. Just because 138K is a lot for a belt. Just brakes, oil changes, and other fluid changes (transmission, differential, transfer case, coolant), along with routine maintenance, I'm expecting 200K+. Runs like a champ to this day.
I had a 2001 LeSabre and a 2005 LeSabre with the 3.8L. I traded them both off at 200,000 miles. I wish I would have kept running both of them. They got 27-28 mpg and I never stuck any money into them other than a howling wheel bearing at 175,000 miles($73 to do both of them on the front end myself) and only did oil changes.
@@densmith8 you will get 400k out of it guaranteed

My family had a Toyota Sienna minivan when I was growing up. We put over 200k miles on it over 15 years and I can’t remember ever having a major issue with it. My dad sold it when I was a senior in high school and I still see it every now and then around town with the new owner so apparently it’s still going and going.
Bought my first Toyota Camry - 2015 model purchased in 2019 and it is wonderful. I really enjoy your channel Wizard. Thank you for all you do.

hi car wizard. I'm your biggest Canadian fan. I own three Toyotas and maintain them regularly. they are so reliable. I have two Yaris with both over 400k and a show room fj with 300 k. everything you say is spot on. keep up the videos. I love them
Even if you're talking kilometers instead of miles, that's still impressive!
It’s so funny because I own the exact same color on the Nissan Altima and the Corolla mostly likely same year..my Nissan 2012 its at 120k and no issues at all just regular maintenance...and my 2010 Toyota Corolla is at 190k and absolutely no issues other than just the alternator and regular maintenance...yes I’ve been blessed with my vehicles since I bought them new and never hesitated on maintenance or repairs needed ..one thing I’ve learned is that if you take care of your vehicle it’ll take care of you..
Update on my 2012 Nissan Altima..it’s at 150k still running great and smooth…Corolla is at 230k also running good except I have a idle issue I need to address other than that it’s great
Sorry but I find it a bit strange comparing a Civic to a RX-8, it should be more Civic VS Mazda 3.
Alexandre Couture His comparisons were super strange. Corollas and Altimas do not compete directly, nor do Camrys and Maximas. Also, since when was anyone looking to buy a Daewoo leganza? I bet there’s less than a few thousand of those that still run and drive in America.
@@97I30T I agree. Love the idea of the video but the execution, research, and model needs some work. Needs to be more categorized like you would find on a car buying website.
@@97I30T I think this video was a bit tongue in cheek, as the youth of today say.
I think the Civic vs Mazda 3 comparison doesn't have a clear winner. Comparing a Corolla to Sentra is a landslide victory for the Toyota though.
The Mazda 3 is not a piece of garbage.
Buy a Toyota, buy a Toyota, is this the Scotty Kilmer channel?
But yes, it’s hard to go wrong with a Toyota.

We bought a accord in 2009 with 4 miles on it. Its been passed on from my wife to son to my youngest daughter. It has 169k miles now. Still runs like a champ!Only replaced tires ,brakes, & one battery. Strictly ran Mobile1 & shell premium gas. After owning a Tahoe& Escalade I am seriously thinking about going back to Honda! Bigger more expensive doesn't mean better.
Japanese cars from 90s were much better especially nissan n toyota better than new ones anything 05 and up is shit
169ks is just being broken in
@@issavibez394tell me about it I have a 94 Accord 4-speed I beat the heck out of it, it is my first car. crashed multiple times, drove over curbs, ran from the cops, race it and still going strong somehow the paint still looks good
Nissan made very reliable cars, up until 1999 when Renault bought them and obliterated their quality
their japanese made Nissans still last just as honda imo. too bad only the Z, GTR, and armada are made there now. all other models that's cheaper are American made and iffy, especially if cvt trasmission that is absolute shit as they get older.
2010*
Somewhat true but the 1.6 and 1.8l engines in P11 Nissan Primeras were mostly the same as used in P12 and those things eat oil like crazy and that causes them to have quite severe failures.
Yeah, I had 1997 Altima it made to 240k
Not Renault's fault that the quality went to shit
I’ve had a lot of reasons for stress and anxiety in my life but owning Toyotas and Hondas weren’t among them. My 2018 Civic EX-T currently has 83,000 miles and running trouble-free. Of course, I maintain it meticulously (especially because it’s a turbo engine) but not a single problem in over three years. Looking forward to many more years with it.
Rotary is an emotional buy ;-) Very unique. And engines are not super expensive when replacement needed. Other car parts of RX8 are solid. Also such a technical car with all the right stuff - RWD, LSD, double wishbone front, 5 multilink back, luxury GT capabilities, great 4 seater and 290L trunk space... I LOVE IT but I know about the risks. :-)
Rev up your reliable Toyotas 👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽
I'm just about to. Bought my Toyota over ten years ago for £300 and its still running just fine.

And reliability. Handles 40psi of boost and still hasn't left me stranded.
That’s pretty easy to do when the accelerator sticks.
Bartonovich52 that doesn’t happen anymore it happened cause the dealership put oversized floor mats
Nissan's problems started when they started sharing parts with Renault. I can tell the French parts on Nissans with their 15mm bolts.
Facts
Nissan interiors were shithouse quality in the 90s too. N14 and N15 Pulsars and U13 Bluebird always seemed to fall apart prematurely
Nissan's were always the GM of the Japanese imports.
They can't even make a reliable F1 car
@@405pugMi hm, I suprised by that.
My 2003 Infiniti i35/Maxima has a really nice interior with soft touch everything and real leather.
Any thing that's falling off is because I was wreakless so im really surprised they are that bad in the lower models.
@Car Wizard - You know, in my mind, what makes you a real pro, is how easy you talk - no matter if it is a Corolla or a Deawoo - your experience comes over your lips as convincing, easy and cool... knowing you can fix one of these really tricky Ferraris of the 80s or wired Bentley... so cool! Greatest respect.
1997 Camry xle I have 180k miles on it. I fixed everything during quarantine and now I have a great car...
My Nissan Altima has been my reliable daily for 6 years.
But it's a 1994.
You have that KA24DE in it which has a proper timing chain, an iron block, aluminum heads, hydraulic lifters, and is really more suited to being a small TRUCK engine with all the torque it has. The engine that replaced it requires fiddly maintenance that no one does, so Nissan cashes in on that now.
You have a nissan not a renault
@@cellphonelightsaber You're not the first one to call it a "truck engine" and I concur that it is a workhorse, more so than particularly smooth or a sports car engine. It's torquey, tough, dependable and simple. The amount of craigslist ads I see for 3rd gen Altimas that have received new engines is surprising.
Timing chain is a nightmare though it says 16hrs n the shop manual if i remember correctly

@@Buddie21341255612351 Plenty of fun Toyotas, just not many newer ones, though you can always go Lexus. The early 2000's Altezza (IS200) was a blast to drive and super reliable, in the mid sized car category the twin turbo Aristo (GS300) was basically a 4 door Supra. I don't think the Aristo/GS300 in 2JZ-GTE form ever made it to the US though and the N/A ones are pretty anaemic. The IS-F is now pretty affordable, amazing V8 engine and decent if not class leading handling - certainly not boring. Sure now you only really have the GT86, which has a shitty Subaru engine in it that can give trouble (rest of the car - ie all the Toyota bits - is bullet proof though) , or the new Supra, which is really just a BMW in drag with reliability yet to be determined, but again, move over to Lexus and there are some decent choices if you have the money.
@@Buddie21341255612351 Do you know what i call fun and pleasure ? Going to the mechanics and not being given a list as long as my arm and a bill the size of the national debt, to fix my Toyota. But by all means buy an American or European car and enjoy the depreciation and the repair bills.
I own a 2000 Nissan Maxima and have been driving this car for 17 years with no real major issues. Regular oil changes, couple of ignition coils, and put a new clutch in years ago. That's pretty much it. Not too bad on gas. getting 320 miles per tank. Love my car!
That’s from an era where Nissan actually made good cars. That was my first car too, the fully loaded GLE trim. Elegant, good build quality, good exhaust note, great engine and a simple transmission that car wizard himself calls the plane Jane. Miss my baby and happy to hear yours is powering on!
Note to self: don't buy any car with a rotary engine.
My dad's RX-3 was so darned fun to drive. I loved seeing the engine rev and the Wankel go hmm as the speed went past 50mph in 2nd gear. On the other hand, the darned engine seized due to a small seal becoming dislodged... So, not the most reliable car out there. But fun to drive.
You need to be very passionate about rotaries for them to be worth it
I own an RX8, if you have a fairly basic set of tools and an internet connection, ownership isn't difficult. There's so many DIY walkthroughs on forums that will help you with whatever you need to do. Just throw in a thicker radiator, take care of your ignition system and you'll be fine. It's a very rewarding experience, and you get to beat the piss out of it :)
IMMA TELL YOU ANYWAY
They are project engines. Crazy fun but impractical in every way other than the fact it takes gasoline.

You're so knowledgeable, and the cadence and tone of your voice is just so relaxing. I could watch you for hours on end. (And I do)
Always love these videos & then the ending sound.
Thank you I was a little apprehensive about the outback but you have clarified that I should not worry about the reliability of the vehicle.
Darn I really had my heart set on a daewoo laganza
😂😂😂
The only Daewoo I ever owned was a window unit air conditioner
I read that as lasagna
When it dies,it conveniently converts into a rickshaw with leather seats..
Dayyyyyyyyy-Wooooooooo that's how they sound. Like first to fourth gear lol
I would love to see a 90's vs today reliability comparison along with cost
Yessir
80s to 90s seem more reliable then today's 2010 to 2020's vehicles.
Car Wizard dropping straight gems!! 💎
Thank You, Mr. & Mrs. Wizard
I’ve been a Mechanic for 24 years. I agree with everything Car Wizard said. Toyota just makes better vehicles.. I still think he should have talked about the Land Cruiser.
Jason Johnson I have owned a five Toyotas and I have been amazing. I had a GMC truck in the headlights would randomly shut on and off at night. Terrifying vehicle
LC’s are great trucks but try finding a late model within the reach of ordinary people. The original FJ’s in good running condition are selling for astronomical prices.
Charles Bronson How often did you change the Oil?
Nah Toyota still make shit cars! My current Toyota has been the least reliable car I have ever owned! Worse than my French cars I owned by a mile. Toyota had head go ( known issue with that motor) alternator ,egr valve, dpf ( unfortunately here in the uk you can't blank them) total cost more than the car only done 80k miles were as my old Citroen did 160k miles was scraped due to airbag fault never had much trouble with it.
Fixing the Toyota cost a ton everything is hard to get to needing to take subframe out to replace parts means labour cost is a fuckton
Got 330,000 on my 95 land cruiser. It still runs perfectly. Drive it almost every day. Only problem I've ever had with it is the alternator.
When did Scotty start an asmr channel?
LOL..
😂😂😂 good description
Ha!
Sooooo true
I've had my Toyota 4 a long time..Going on 300,000..I still luv this car..Very few problems..
Love the channel car wizard!! Watching these 2 years later when the price of pre owned vehicles are INFLATED AS HELL!!! Been looking since april its crazy
Buy 90s model.
It's all part of the Biden build back better plan, first he destroys the country then he builds it back better for him and his elite overlords
You hit the nail on the head. I drive a Toyota Tacoma and a Honda Accord. Best of both worlds
I want a Tacoma since childhood
HEART ON THE SLEEVE HONESTY. THANK YOU.
Thanks 4 sharing Brotha!!!!
One word, two syllables: Seatbelt!
Seriously though, I'm a Tech in a different industry and it's striking the similarities with the difficulties we face when making recommendations to customers. I feel your pain... and I love your channel. Keep up the good work!
Car Wizard, you've become my favorite car channel on UA-cam quick
Very fair, honest and unbiased opinions wizard! Thank you.
Thanks for doing these videos car wizard!
With your advice I went ahead and got a 2014 GMC Terrain with no problems just shifts kinda funny thank you so much car wizard !!
Car wizard: “But you guys are smarter than that”
Me: eyes my Nissan Rogue in my driveway
None of us are perfect my friend. But trade it before the CVT goes bad
Jeremy Pilot we got a 3 year/100,000 warranty so we’re gonna keep maintenance up on it then when warranties up we’re definitely trading it in
@@kaisiaki8401 smart move my friend
When I had 60k on my Sentra the AC went out. I traded it in for a Kia Forte and I've been very happy.
@@kaisiaki8401 is it a Manufacturer warranty?
Nice line up in the back. 928, rolls, SL, Viper... You're the man
I am one that have taken that advice, getting a highlander to pull my waverunner, after hundreds of reviews and searching, it gets my vote. Your other recommend, the ford focus I have had since I bought it off the show room floor, it just passed108,000 miles other than the deplorable transmission that needs the clutch redone every 50k it's been perfect, haven't even had to replace the brakes yet. Oil changes regularly and it runs like a dream. The interior is spotless and looks brand new, they used some premium trims in the titanium.
I love these segments
Scotty Kilmer approved!
Scotty Kilmer meets Mr Rogers. I'm always relaxed and educated after watching.
Scotty is a joke and shill.
Wonderful tips! Thanks!
I watch your videos all the time your the man why because you're putting me in good cars that don't leave me stranded thank 🙏 you very much God bless
RX330 and IS300 owner here. Both were under 7000$ when I bought them. Never ever let me down
th3k1ngofchina I have a 2001 rx 300 (white rear tint and clear taillights) best car I've ever had.
Hurr Durr it's a Toyota
I've owned a Corolla and Civic. My daily driver is a 2010 Civic coupe. I love the car for just total bullet proof reliability. I use Mobil One only and just regular maintenance. I drive this thing all over the country. I owned a Corolla wagon, 5 speed. The thing with the Corolla......nobody wants to steal them and they are cheaper on parts. They are just bullet proof cars and cheap and comfortable enough. I get the same issue....people ask what to get their kids or they need a car....I ALWAYS tell them "find a Corolla". They do not listen. I've been a mechanic all my life....I'm a professional restoration mechanic and work on some of the most sought after, rare and exotic cars you can imagine......pebble beach level stuff. Seriously....I can back up EVERYTHING this guy is telling you in this video!! I don't work as much on the modern stuff as he does but I know more than enough to know this guy is spot on. Listen to him!!!
LOVE YOUR SHOW, THANKS! 👍 😀
Love your videos!!! Wish I could find a mechanic down here in Cypress, TX like you guys.
I want to ask your opinion about a new 2021 Subaru Forester base model. Just curious about your opinion on reliability. I see videos saying to stay away because the 2.5i 4cyl has a number of issues, but other videos say they're great and very reliable. Very confusing!!!
I love wizards low key approach to his videos.
This guy is gonna be my scotty kilmer replacement minus the yelling lol
New to your channel. I know this is an older video, but I currently have an 06 Corolla and love it. Looking to upgrade to a rav4 or maybe even the new Corolla Cross. I love Toyotas
I say keep your 06 and get a Corolla Cross! Have them both!
And that was good advice! Good advice! Good advice costs nothing and it's worth the price.
I learned something. I have a leak on my oil filter adapter, those two hoses have drips, and I had no idea where it was coming from. When the Wizard said "oil filter adapter" that must be it. Now I know what I have to fix. I always thought those drips on the ground were the main bearing seal. Thanks.
its worth pointing out that even on the older subarus the headgasket issues are A) confined to the 2.5s (the 2.2 is probably the most reliable engine subaru ever made) and B) can be permanently fixed by swapping in a STI headgasket, which is MUCH stronger. the STI gaskets go right on and won't fail on an NA car unless you seriously botch the install.
Any of the turbo ej's have the multilayer head gaskets, so I could buy a forester or outback or something with the 255 motor and still not have any headgasket problems. Not so sure about the 2.4 but I assume it's the same.
I took the advice... bought a used 2019 Camry with 12k miles on it. I keep my cars for about 10 years so I hope it works well for us. Thanks for the video.
Yep, you're right regarding a Toyota. I bought a 2005 Corolla CE in 2009 and it lasted me until 2021 and it had 230,000 miles on it. I never had major issues with it. I now have a 2009, my son's car, and it has 138,000 miles and is a sports Corolla and it is 2023 so I will be driving it for a long time.
Essentially, run as far as you can (preferably screaming like a little girl) from mid 2000s Nissans, ANY rotary powered Mazda, and Daewoos in general.
Rotary good as long as you can afford the gas!
Daewoo rifles are pretty great tho.
😨 ok!
@@MrSamadolfo seriously. The pistols are excellent too
@@theshocker4626 🙂 ok 🚗
Just bought a 2019 Toyota Corolla hatch back with the six speed manual transmission and I’m loving it ..
Uff! That's a beautiful buy! congrats
Nice. How does it shift? Is it fun to run through the gears?
I actually really want one of these haha. Manual transmission impresses the ladies to haha
Pauly Pooper Good man, you avoided a money pit by not buying the CVT
Nice! Love the 6MT
Our little 2009 Civic has been a dream! Fit and finish is better than the much newer Corola I was loaned when my truck was in the shop for warranty work (I'm a big fan of Toyota, but that loaner car felt cheaply made, even though I know they're super reliable) Needs weather stripping redone, but since my wife rolled it off the lot 12 years ago, it has had regular maintenance AND THATS IT! That little car is a champ.
You are making me appreciate our Toyota Sienna 312000 km. Been needing stuff. Muffler alternator etc. But driving great.
Have a 2006 Mazda 3 S-Touring no issues so far bought it new back then.
I look forward for the same video about European cars.
You're doing an amazing amazing job man! keep going!
He can't because they'd ALL be don't buys!
@@MyerShift7 Nah, great cars.
The one thing to remember about Subaru or anything with AWD, you have to keep the tires rotated and they have to be the same make/model, or a matched set. Tire diameter and tread depth are extemely important with AWD systems, and mismatched tires or tread depth can kill the transfer case/PTU/viscous coupler on these cars. I was a Subaru master tech, and I have had plenty of arguments with car owners who had mismatched or badly worn tires, and they had chatter on turns. They would say I was full of crap, and just trying to sell tires.
Thank you for the good advice. D all the tires have to match even if the car has a modern AWD system?
I always wondered if it's more economical to get a fwd car, winter tires for the snow, and save money on fuel with the fwd. Plus I've seen a video of AWD Ford Escape vs FWD and snow tires, and the snow tires seemed to be better in the snow. I'm not sure if they had summer tires or all season tires though
Oh yeah, would a matched set mean that you can have different tires in the front and the back?
Another brilliant video! Thanks for making it. :-)
