    Because I'd lived in Japan for a couple years more than 50 years ago and drive a couple Toyotas each with high miles on them I was especially receptive when another Toyota driver at the gas pump said, "You know why Japanese Toyotas are better throughout? Because everyone involved believes it would be dishonorable to do less than a perfect job."

    • @markkoons7488
      @markkoons7488 3 роки тому +8

      That was my experience of the Japanese in relation to their work in the 1960s. In fact, Japan had, and I assume still has, a set of laws addressing professional responsibility. Essentially, if you are paid to do a job you are a professional and are personally liable for your work. I look around at the half-assed work we sometimes pay for here and think somebody ought to go to be jailed and forfeit their personal assets to compensate their victims.

The car takes off from a stand still well enough to get you up to speed and has decent enough acceleration to pass on the freeway. But you will not be winning any 1/4 mile drag races with it Lol!!!

      My wife and I bought her a 2020 XLE C-HR. It was made in Japan. She loves it, except for the slow take off. I have no earthly idea what Scotty is talking about with the launch gear. From a dead stop, this thing is slower than molasses flowing uphill on a sub-zero day, but once you get going, it accelerates just fine. It handles like a dream, too. Seriously, this thing can corner like a sports car and is smoother than butter on the road.

    I own a 2019 model and it gets me where I need to go it is definitely a great car to commute in, just a heads up for the people in the used car market looking for one of these cool looking cars. I don’t mean to turn anyone off but I work for toyota and I see these at the service center all the time for transmission issues, typically the mileage is anywhere from 55k to 80k. I was hoping Toyotas version of the CVT would be it, but sadly it’s not. We currently have 4 CHRs in the service with transmission issues, but the good news is that the they hold their trade in value very well.

    I'm so excited you reviewed the C-HR. I just bought one in October and I love it! And I bought a Toyota because I've been watching your videos Scotty. I had a 2018 Ford EcoSport and I liked it okay, but it was already coming apart in a couple of areas in the dashboard and it road like a bucket of bolts. I had driven a 2006 Ford Fusion for 12 years before that and loved it, so went back to Ford for that reason. I was just excited to get the new technology in a car and bought the EcoSport on the spot! But as the story goes, regretted it a bit as time went on. I was thinking of trading or selling and was watching car videos when I came across you. So glad I did! I was able to sell my EcoSport for more than I owed and turned around and bought the C-HR. I had never seen one before and fell in love. My husband went over it with a fine toothed comb and said "buy it." So I did! Loving it!! Thanks Scotty! Now I'm hooked on your videos and believe I will be a Toyota customer from now on.

Lol! But the quality of the C-HR is so much better for the same price. Also, I averaged 19 MPG around town in the EcoSport and with the C-HR, even not broken in yet, I am getting 25 to 26 in town. So the difference all around in quality of the build and mpg is pretty drastic to me, for vehicles in the same category and price range.

TBH, I think what some folks call dull makes some cars look classy ... such as the Camry a couple generations back. Or the 1994-6 era 4Runner, which I think is gorgeous, sedate. I did like the interior here and I like that you pointed out things I hadn't heard--the CVT's quality, the great seats.

Was a little nervous about that, but fit and finish is great and it’s been defect free. Also the adaptive cruise control, lane departure and collision avoidance systems are not intrusive but work flawlessly. If you are looking for a practical well made economical car give it a look.

    Gotta disagree with Scotty about the C-HR being 'zippy'; I like how they look so I test drove one but was shocked how slow they were, even compared to my ancient Corolla! I would go as far as say they're dangerously slow if you're getting on the highway using a short on-ramp! Most tests I saw bear this out and indicate a 0-60 time in the 11 second range, which is painfully slow. Hope Toyota gives it the hybrid powertrain that the Lexus version of the same platform (i.e. the Lexus UX) has, which would also give it AWD and make it, by far, the pick of the sub-compact SUV category imo.

      I also bough a 2018 CH-R two months ago. Just did 300 miles/~500 km yesterday in Switzerland 66 MPG/4,3 litre, 3 people AC running (88F/31C here), hills and valleys, up and down with mixed highways and city drive. Highway-only drive gives 54 MPG/5.2 litre with 80 MPH/130kmh cursing speed. It likes 100-110 km/h the most of course.
