You forgot a Yota pickup that was Diesel as well for us in the USA.
Did you said dry sump on the Yota 2zz uh uh uh the ones put on Yotas didn't have dry sump that was only on the Lotus along with the Supercharged and I can say after owning one they were ok the ones that blow the oil pump had poor maintenance plus of being abuse mine last as long as I wreck the vehicle.🤣🤣🤣
First time watching your videos and by golly, your editing is shocking. So many cuts, I thought you were having a seizure or something.
@@Carlos_Jzx Yeah, and Toyota also sold diesel 4Runners and Land Cruisers in the US back in the 1980s into the early 90s. But Scotty said diesel "cars", not pickups or SUVs.

The worst of Toyota is the best of Chrysler
The Chrysler Viper(they sold them as Chrysler in the EU) is pretty good tho.
Lol, nooo. Chrysler is horrible, I know plenty of people that work in the nearby factory from home, they slack off a lot in their work. Chrysler is constantly laying off workers every few months from their factories.

I delivered pizzas in a 2002 Toyota Echo for years. Sadly, I retired it at 293k. It still ran, but needed emissions and brake work that would cost too much to justify. It was the absolute base model. My mom bought the cheapest new toyota on the showroom floor. Turned out to be an amazing investment. Even the lowest end Toyotas are more reliable than most other cars on the road.
Yep...still a Toyota!
292k miles is still very good. I rarely ever see cars with >180k miles.

Crazy thing is I've never seen an Echo/Yaris in a salvage yard unless it's been wrecked.
I got an echo 338k miles never left the family. Ya they don't have a ride like a Lexus but they run forever and get 45 to 55 mpg.
I'm the proud owner of a 2011 Yaris Sedan and I can attest to their reliability. Those cars were built to last.
You do not want to play demolition derby with them, you have to use some sense when driving. Ha ha.
@@charlesfranks1902 To be fair I don't want to play demolition derby with any car that I care about lol.
Yeah, I don't know about his complaint about the Yaris. I don't have one but people I know who do say its the most reliable car they've ever owned.
Had an 03 Echo stick, for what it was, it was one of the best cars I've ever owned. 42 on the highway, 195,000, not a drop of oil. No major anything, not a rattle to be heard.
Yes...had an echo ...sold it 200k running great...best car for money...better than my other 6 Toyotas I had...made in Japan 100%.
My newer yaris had airbag recalls, water pump replaced in warranty paint faded on the roof too soon...great car too but I think the echo was a little better built...
@@reludennis Was the Yaris the rebadged Mazda 2?
@@VIDEOHEREBOB no..that is the yaris ia I believe.still a awesome money saver but seems the echo had better materials and paint..
@@VIDEOHEREBOB Not the older ones but the current one is.
i bought a used yaris for my son when he was a student. it had about 50000 miles on it. he finished his college while doing pizza delivery and drove it full time for last 6 years. that car has almost 200000 miles and still running excellent. his only expense was tires and a battery plus regular oil changes.
Scotty Scotty, my 2007 Yaris is about to reach 300,000 miles with no issues.
dude its a hot box. :D
And my friends bmw x5, went to " transmission fail" at 130k, in a Highway!
I had mine for 11 years with no issues. I bought it brand new. I now have a 2020 Rav4 XLE.
No legroom.
Yaris gud
I drove an 02 Echo for 7 years. One of the most dependable vehicles I’ve ever owned. Only sold it, to buy a new car when I came into a bit of money. That car would’ve lasted me for years and years and more years to come. I’ll cherish the good memories we shared.
I respectfully disagree about the ECHO. There are many with over 100 and 200K miles. It's getting harder to find lower mileage good ones.
200k is nothing 😂 wonder why there's none with a million 🥱

Owned a 2000 Yaris that gave to my son and he still drives with 278,000 miles. I own a 2009 Yaris with 120,000 miles and still going strong. Take care of them and they’ll take care of you.
Still own the 09?
I disagree on the Yaris part. Have had one for 8 Years, put 120,000 km. Never had 1 single problem. Drives the same as new. I own a 2019 Mustang GT and a 2015 acura Tlx and still cant get rid of that Yaris... has been too good to me and love it
Update
I started watching this video while sitting in my two door 97 tercel. 😤
Other then it & my previous tercel being oil burners on the highway, I think they're amazing cars. I've done many +12hr days of driving across the canadian prairies, & the US year round in my tercel. Parts last seemingly forever on them, they're simple, & boringly reliable.
My friends Toyota Echo 01 has almost 560,000 miles. 😂 I hope my 2017 Corolla can get to that point!!
Scotty: Toyota made bad cars too!
Toyota: We will make the grills bigger!
Irixion Toyota. And we'll slap weaker door handles onem

Toyota made in the USA is not good. I only buy the one they made in Japan.
Nkajlem Cha agreed ! Those Made in USA Toyota cars everything cheap components, lower cost interior materials everywhere, careless workmanship..........
@@hmoob8726 Exactly
In 1980 I advised a friend to buy a Tercel. She was looking for cheap new car that was easy on gas. The Tercel fit the bill and ran OK for her, but we were living on the east coast of Canada and the exposure to salt air caused it within three years to be badly rusted.
We had a Tercel when I was a little kid. That thing never broke or ran bad. It always started up and never needed anything beyond just the basic oil changes and small regular things
Well in my country Panama you still saw Toyota Tercel running fine in the streets today's. And those cars got more than 500k kms and still counting.
I had a five speed hatch-back 1980 Tercel that ran great. A/C was great in the summer with that little 4-banger. I got his in the rear and there was zero damage. Acquired in 1988 and sold in 1988 'cause my future wife couldn't (wouldn't) drive stick.
@@egads2 those Toyota was well made.
I wrenched on many Tercels when I was a Toyota technician years ago, most of what I did on them was scheduled maintenance.
The ones that needed major repairs were due to lack of maintenance and bad owners that neglected their vehicles.
And they're super easy to work on if they do need anything.
The Toyota Echo was, is and will always be an AMAZING little car. I used to not like them but if you're a tall guy, they are incredibly roomy.
Do you still have one?
@@dashingmay Of course! Runs like new!
That’s awesome, bout to pick one up with 140k miles for 2,000.
It’s been about 8 months sense you type this, how she running now of days?
I liked mine. My knee rested on the point of the radio housing. I didn't like that part.
Is it really that roomy to drive for someone who is 6.3 ft tall 260 lbs?
Wonder how many calories he burns a day waving those arms around reminds me of CP30 lol
nope, i think that's where he gets energy from.. like a windmill.. LOL
Probably 10 calories at most

Scotty CP30
My 1990 Tercel was the most reliable car I ever owned. Had it 11 years. Only problem was original battery died and timing belt repair. In 11 years spent less than $1,000 on maintenance and repairs and that includes new tires. Started burning oil really bad around 160k. Donated it to charity at $175k only because I had to move overseas but it ran fine.
You forgot the 2020 supra, oh sorry I forgot that you said “the worst cars MADE by toyota”.
Oh....GOOD ONE. Shame on Toyota. BMW imposter
You mean the... BMW Supra?
I don't get why Toyota would associate their quality brand name with BMW (beating my wallet) garbage quality over time
Toyota Zupra
Exactly, I was happy hearing a possible 2JZ successor. Nope! BMW crap.
Owned 2 ECHOs both over 300,000 KLMS, no major repairs! I am a big guy and it is a hell of alot easier access vs the corolla. Awsum gas mileage
I'll never forget the Echo. That plastic dipstick. What a fantastic idea.
Thank you for all you’re knowledge! I been watching you for years and now I have an account on UA-cam to tell you how much of a blessing you are. I wish I showed you’re vids to my pops before he transcended. I pray many blessings come to you and your love ones🙏🏅
First new car I bought was a 93 Tercel - standard shift / no radio / no air conditioner. Was proud of that car. It was a good for us, but it was horrible in the summer! I also miss buying tires for $40/each.
I loved my Tercel 😊 it started using oil at 150k miles but still ran great at 360k miles when I finally sold it 🤗
Thanks for making things easy to understand. I truly enjoyed your channel.
My father has a Echo manual. Ride was recent for what it is. He put 200k. There valve seals go bad. It burns oil now but no smoke. It's not a leak.
He's not using it. But he plans to leave it in Florida and do seals himself later.
All the people defending the Echo in the comments make me happy.
With my 2ZZGE swapped MR2, I installed a baffled oil pan and upgraded the oil pump gears to billet ones, which fixed the 2 main issues with the engine scotty mentioned. Of course, it's no 94 celica... 😂
How many kilometres have you been running with it?
SW20..?🤓
2008 Yaris, synthetic oil changes every 12k miles. only changed timing belt once, plugs once, tires and brakes each 80k miles. 270k miles on it... just gave it to a family member
I'm hooked on this guy's videos and I don't even own a Toyota! Also love that the interior of his garage has more junk than mine...
0:18 LOL when he mentions the claims of being paid off by Toyota, shows 20s and singles
Scotty my uncle flipped his tercel on it’s side still runs great drives it for 2-3 hour drives few times a week daily’s it as well !
My friend broke the frame of his Tacoma with over 400,000 miles on it while off roading and still drove it every day for another two years while he shopped for a replacement.
TV show dropped one from a chopper and it still ran and drove...barely. 😁 😂
I have a 2015 Yaris i just bought a couple weeks ago and have already put over 1000 miles on it. (Over 80k on it now) So far the little bugger is an absolute pleasure to drive!!! Everything feels quality made and I just love the fact that I still have a key and just the simplicity of it. Thank you TOYOTA for building just a great basic car without all the extra crap 👍
I have a 2007 Yaris with 1.4 d4d engine,has 250.000 km and working perfect!
I just bought a 08 Yaris with 1.5 L 4 speed automatic with 84k miles at 15 yrs old and car is amazing yea it’s basic but pretty fast for a little car. And I got 400 miles to 11 gallons of gas.
Idk y Scotty’s saying Yaris is crap cuz I did my research before buying and nothing bad except peeling clear coat and paint
But mechanically there’s reviews people raving that they’re getting 300 to 400,000 miles with low maintenance
So I’ve got my fingers crossed I’ve only had it a week now!
@@jessewynne8193 I've only had mine about 3 weeks now but I think we're both in good shape and are gonna be very happy with our Toyotas in the years to come 👍
Bought an 09 Yaris 3dr 5spd 1.5L brand new. Still my favorite car I've ever owned
So I’ve this car for little over a month now and my only complaint is on the highway going 75-80 MPH I’m at 3k rpm’s which seems normal but I can hear that engine/transmission just going in that 4th gear makes it seem like loud road noise but it’s more engine noise. I’m sure it’d be much quieter if it had a 5th gear or overdrive
I’ve taken it 90-100mph
No issue no struggle or stress tack shows 3,500 RPM -normal for being in 4th
But as soon as I let off the gas it drops to 60-65 pretty quickly
I believe it cuz it’s stressing on that 4th gear even tho it doesn’t seem like it at 3k -3,5k RPM
And my electric gas gadge
Shows 2 bars then next start up has 1 flashing bar..and couple start up later it’s back at 2 bars.
Drive 50 miles and it’s on 1 flashing bar…goes back n fourth.
So I end up filling it and stops at 9 gals in a 11.5 gal tank.
I have to disagree with you about the Yaris.I have a 09 and I love it!! It’s great on gas and have not had any issues at all.Thanks for all of your awesome videos!!!!
I usually agree with Scotty but his comments on the Yaris I am having a hard time with. I have bought 3 Yaris vehicles. A 2006 for my daughter, a 2009 and 2012 and all were mechanically excellent cars. The all had the same engine and transmission. I never had a second of mechanical problems out of any of them. There was plenty of room in the engine compartments to do work on them but I never had to change a belt, replace any engine component, or have any repairs. I would buy another one in a heartbeat if I was looking for an inexpensive car to drive a lot of miles.
My daughter loves her 2012 Toyota Yaris sedan!
RIGHT I’m kinda mad bout my 08 Yaris being on his list! I thought any was talking about but apparently he doesn’t. I’ve got 84,000 miles on mine it’s 15 years old. I’ve never had to do a damn thing to it I get 400 miles to 11 gallons of gas cost me like $30 to fill the damn thing at $3.20 a gallon Can’t beat that
Still got ?
@@jayislander yes I drive 100 miles a day for work in it
@@jessewynne8193 just got a 09
I have to make a confession, I have gone on Autotrader and looked for a 1998/99 Celica. The Toyota that I always wanted was that Supra Turbo from 1988-90. I'm not too fond of turbos but the engine and transmission in those were fail safe.
I bought a new 2008 Toyota Yaris hatchback with the automatic transmission. I'm still driving it with 189 thousand miles. Never a problem and still going strong.
Update
2:00 that Yaris engine is very reliable and its still use today (2019). Proof you can't teach some old dogs new tricks 🐶😂. You want Yaris from 2012 to 2019 only.
Feel like I am on a boat watching Scott talks
J M Toyota actually made waterski boats: Epic
Seagull call at 5:22 lol
I owned a 94 tercel and my sister had a 92 tercel. Both had over 250k miles. We owned them for about 5 years each and never once broke down. I used to do 400 mile round trip every weekend while in college. It was a terrible car to drive but it never let me down.
I'm in the UK, half the cars are not available here yet I still love to watch Scotty a video 👍
Absolutely right about the Tercel. Mine burned oil like a chain smoker and sometimes the engine would just cut out while driving. Thankfully that never happened on the freeway.
You're way off base on this one---the Echo and Yaris are considered two of the most reliable Toyotas ever made, and they'll run every bit as long as a Camry or Corolla. And they're actually built better than the Camry/Corolla---those two cars are made in Kentucky, while the Echo/Yaris are made in Japan. And the 2000-2005 Celica with the 1ZZ-FE engine (also made only in Japan) was also a solid vehicle
I thought the Corolla was made in Mississippi.
I've had my Yaris for over 9 years now and it runs well, no problems. It gets very good gas mileage and didn't need to get new brakes until this year which is unheard of.
Agree, I have a 2010 2dr hatch. Not sexy, but simple and solid. No problems with it. Great gas saver. The Brakes are the best thing about it.
Everyone who has a yaris talks about the reliability.
@@tmac8892 , Still have my Yaris, still doing very well. Nothing ever goes wrong with it so far.
Yep, same here. Never had a problem with my old Yaris. 50 to the gallon (UK miles), tax is £110, I'm 6ft 1. just about fits me! Mine has never broken down, just had a set of Mitchelins and the rear springs were replaced after a holidayin Scotland (I didn't notice a problem, done when serviced).
@@jonathanstephenson4709 , It is two year later and my Yaris is still Great.
Scotty
My 1995 Toyota Tercel has over 375K miles on it with it it was hit in the rear by a full size pickup completely smashing in the trunk . I crawled out unhurt. Original engine AND clutch!!! Driven all over the western states I found it to be reasonably comfortable on trips. I thinks the 1995-97 models with the 16 valve engine were equal to the contemporary Corolla in reliability.
I watch all of your videos and love them. I once had a 1994 toyota tercel and kept it for 10 years. It was the best car. Simple, not fancy stuff. A little hard on the road but cornered really well. I never had to do anything except change the oil and brakes. I loved it. I sold it and the next owner destroyed it. So, I'm not sure I agree with you saying they were junk. Or maybe I just got lucky.
had a 2010 yaris for 7 years, so far had to replace the fan belt and a headlight. great little car with a lot of room in the hatch back. and great mileage .
Wierd flex 🔥👌
YEAH YARIS GANG
Amazing longevity and cheap price
I'm a fan of the small Toyota cars.
I had a 2002 Toyota Echo (automatic transmission, 2dr coupe, manual windows) for like 80,000 miles (80k-160,000mi roughly) before I wrecked it and it was reliable cheap transportation. Plus I left the accident uninjured.
Currently own a 2010 Toyota Yaris and it's also a very reliable cheap car. Plus it's a manual transmission 2dr hatchback with power windows, so the perfect upgrade as far as I'm concerned.
Accident death gang
you are completely WRONG about the Echo. Great car.
True
Man I just love how you tell it like it is. Great watch!
I work with a guy that has a manual echo with 450 thousand miles on it... trans rebuilt once. Seems like a decent car to me.
Scotty, guess I got lucky, I have an 03 Matrix XRS with the 2ZZ and I have had it for 10 years so far and knock on wood, but It's been one of the best vehicles I've ever owned. I have 180,000 miles on it, doesn't use a drop of oil, still has a lot of pick up and the only thing other than maintenance I have had to do is rebuild the clutch. So they're not all bad.
For the past 10+ years I've been driving Echos, 2000-02 in particular, I'd buy them cheap, around 1k! but in good all around shape, then drive them to the ground without doing any maintenance, then I'd go get another one, pay 1k and scrap the old one with good engine and transmission for around $500..
Went through 5-6 of them the last 12 years, never one had engine or transmission issue even though most of them had over 300k on them, absolutely love them.
Did you stop

"This Toyota changed EVERYTHING"
@GM Motor Company question can you make quality cars and trucks plz 🙏
@GM Motor Company What Carter said
Got an 2005 Echo. No complaints, it's a stick shift. I'm keeping it.
Great video!!
As soon as I saw the thumbnail of the 4th gen Toyota Supra, I was surprised you didn't mention it.
Because it's not the 5th gen Supra
Bálint Török It's the engine that made it famous because you can build the hell out of em.
@Bálint Török there is one online for sale 55,000 km for $499,000
The echo was my favorite car that got rear ended at 330,000 miles as a delivery guy. At the time I chose food over oil changes most of it’s life. Weed the other years.
Love my 93 ee100 corolla with 4efe engine same engine as tercel very reliable owned it about 11 years now drives it 7 days per week never failed me once regular and preventative maintainable is key to reliability and good quality oil / parts , love yr videos they,re a wealth of information I always watch n like keep me flowing Scott.
Thanks so much for this video. I think you have just saved me a fortune. As a long time fan of Toyotas (my mechanic is a good guy but I don't want to see him more often than neccessary) I have been looking at treating myself to a Celica. I WAS considering a couple of surprisingly cheap 2000 models. Not any more! Now I know why they were cheap. You have also explained why they were surprisingly low mileage and were in amazing condition body and interior wise. Spending most of their time broken down would explain that.
I fell in love with Celicas in the mid 90s. Great cars, zippy, reliable and a lot of fun to drive.
I'm still looking for one but now, having seen this, I'll be looking for an older one.
Rev up your Toyota, because they can handle it!

Louis Subearth Not those 1.5l motors. Most of everything else in Honda sure thing!
Your doing God’s work. Your input influenced me to by my reliable low mile Camry. I’m satisfied.
outstanding video - really enjoyable -
Scotty , you are right. I just bought a Nissan Frontier 5spd instead of a toyota Yaris. I have a beater 97 Tercel that I built a new engine for and drive daily. The big problem with later Tercels was the HEAD GASKETS WERE CRAP. They used THIN SHIM GASKETS that would blow out. I replaced my Shim gasket with the older generation Asbestos Head gasket and its been running strong for 8 years.
That megacruizer was primarily used for military operations by Japan and the US. They didn’t need to parallel park the thing.
It’s a cool vehicle
I've owned my 2008 Yaris since I bought it new in 2008. It has 120,000 miles on it right now, and still drives like it did the day I bought it. You could let go of the steering wheel, and it drives straight as an arrow. I paid $16k for a car I've owned for almost 14 years. Only thing it ever needed was water pump, fuel pump and then regular maintenance items like brakes, battery and tires. It's been the best car I've EVER owned. I always thought Scotty knew what he was talking about. I guess not.
Same here, Quickblade. Sometimes I think Scotty just likes to hear himself talk. He's way off on the Echo/Yaris. My Yaris is the most reliable car I've ever owned. It's an amazing subcompact....
Same here I have a 08 with 84k miles thing gets 400 miles to tank of gas 11 gal cost me $28 bucks to fill at $3.20 a gal
Idk can’t beat that!
And car is 15 yrs old runs like new
Still own ?
@@dannyboy882 year?
@@jessewynne8193 still got?
I disagree with you on TOYOTA ECHO… I owned 2001 & I drive it until now… I only changed tires one time & that was 2014… changed new set of breaks last 2017…changed the sway bar link last year 2019… changed new battery last 2011…all I did to kept it running was just timely maintenance … change oil, replace air filter every 6 months, etc…
I have a 2002 Echo 2 door automatic. As far as build quality goes, there is no rattles, buzzing or any kind of noise from the inside. The engine buzzes at idle at stoplights, but it has been a solid feeling car. The ride is as good as Nissan Sentra I drove a few years ago. Everything works and I'm getting 35-37mpg around town. Plus I'm having a cruise control unit installed on Friday.
That sounds like the Mega Cruiser is more valuable than the Delorean.
They are extremely rare, 149 ever produced, and have four wheel steering and portal axles
@@louiearmstrong wow, than is nuts.
The edit on these pictures Are Legendary
I had a sage green Tercel that burnt oil and was scary to be a passenger on the highway. My whole family applauded the day I sold it!
205K on my 2004 XRS 2zz and running stronger than ever. A bit of an oil drip from the timing cover but I just consider it "marking its territory". Sure...if you track race the car, you gotta worry about the oil starvation use (easily fixed with a 1zz oil pan with minimal mods)
Have you ever thought of directing the Philharmonic Orchestra. :-))))
Your Christmas present was just put on hold today. Akio Toyoda.
Been driving an 07 Yaris sedan for the last 3 years going on 4. It's ugly, slow, uncomfortable, but it's good on gas and it's a damn tank. Originally bought it because I couldn't afford anything else at the time and I knew a Toyota wouldn't give me problems that I can't afford in the first place. But the thing is strong. I drive it like a maniac and it can handle all my beatings. I can literally name the repairs I've had to do for it since buying it:
1. Water pump which is usually replaced around the mileage I had. ($200)
2. Brakes (don't remember but it was cheap).
3. Shocks ($120)
4. Oil filter ($5).
5. Replaced stock radio because no Aux or Bluetooth ($70).
That's it. The rest is all just oil changes.
I had one of those last generation Celicas. Scotty nailed that one. It was a cheap car inside and out. I wasted no time dumping that car as a trade-in for a Tundra before it had a chance to fall apart. I still remember how bad the ride on the road was. My girlfriend even called it a beer can.
Oh boy, as soon as you said Camry my heart sank. I just bought a used 2019 Camry. Luckily you then said exactly that car as being a vast improvement
Right!! I have a Camry 😬
I paid 1000 for a tercel.....put 100k on it and never dropped a cent.
Yeah, that's good value for the money.
Ive watched every single post since july and i love this account
Heyyyy I think your camera improved. Good thing you upgrade equipment! :D
I am a proud owner of a 2014 yaris and the car is wonderful it runs great and it has a great turn radius..
I had a 08 Yaris bought it for $2000
I beat the hell out of it and it still ran great had over 200k miles on it
Honestly the best car I ever had opposing Subarus and one Ford fiesta 🤮(DO NOT BUY)
The Echo had some funky interiors.
Hey scotty, I live in Canada where snow destroys cars and the best "Winter Beater' car you can buy is an old toyota tercel, toyota echo\yaris. In quebec, we still see a lot of those and they have a good reputation. They have the reputation of never breaking down.
Our family's car growing up was a 1990 Tercel. That car made some long road trips, and yes... it eventually died due to the issues Scotty mentioned, lol!
Surprised to see Echo on the list. I currently drive one. Cheaply build... yes, for people who don't have a lot of money. Very reliable and cheap on gas.
Toyota Yaris was my first car. It is called Toyota Vios in the Philippines which comes only in 4 door sedan .It is the most common standard taxi cab .
If a semi comes flying at me, I’d honestly rather be in the Echo and instantly die than be in a rugged SUV and potentially survive but risk being a vegetable for life 😬
No matter what car you’re in, getting hit by a “flying semi” will leave you with more than a few scratches.
