I dont even think he drives that car anywhere. It's just parked for show and for video purposes. He uses his matrix and lexus es
1993 Toyota Celica
Scotty's is a 94, btw.
@@wjm3018 its not a daily driver maybe?
If I had a neighbor like Scotty. I’d constantly ask if I could help or watch him work on cars. The amount of knowledge he has is amazing.
Imagine all the secrets he knows and doesn't tell us 🤓
“Knowledge” lol
More like opinion. Scotty only approves of boring cars.
@@postalpancho true. After years of Scotty telling me not to buy a bmw, I bought a bmw. I can replace all of the plastic crap with aftermarket aluminum/silicon for 2k. So I'm saving 14k not buying a lexus and having a blast. After 20 years of hondas, I'm glad I did not listen to scotty this time
@@bennybeeeee same. I was always a Toyota man but I have a bmw now and it is way better. It drives and feels special unlike the Toyota. Parts do cost more but that comes with the territory of driving something special. It really isn’t that big of a deal. Anyone who abuses any car will rack up maintenance. Take care of the car and it takes car of you.
i'd move
Bought my first Lexus last year. Out of any car I've ever owned, I must say that the Lexus is the best-built car I've ever owned. The 3.5L 2GR-FE engine is just a pleasure to drive, smooth, balanced dependable power, and still gets great mileage. The quality of Japanese engineering and production really does (sadly) sit above most U.S.-made vehicles.
@The Real VR Funny, mine gets 33 mpg on the highway. Maybe you're doing it wrong.
The GR series engines are just pieces of granite. Very well made engines.
its the same engine on my 2012 camry v6. i get @ 25-26 average mpg.
@@vincentco7995 Highway or combined? My combined is 26-ish.
@@Fister_of_Muppets Highway MPGs will always be significantly higher than average chief. What’s the average MPGs is the question?
Edit: I saw what you get average. Lol.
Haven’t watched the video yet but I’m going to say Scotty recommends Lexus and a 1993 Celica
1994, sacrilege
MADE in JAPAN.
Lol
😂
You were right!
"You are stupid and don't know about cars like I do" -Scotty
My 2010 Avalon with big v6 also gets 35 on Hwy if conditions are right. It always gets over 30mpg on highway
My 2007 Chevrolet cobalt LS 2 door gets around 28mpg in city. It's a standard 5 speed.
🧢
@RR Continued if you're getting 60mpg, you'll be ok. 🤣
@RR Continued UK (imperial) gallon is different from US Gallon don't forget. That's why all your cars seem so much more fuel efficient...
@Melywood Media My grandma's got a 2010 Touring that she doesn't drive. I want it so badly, but according to her it's their "backup car".
Kinda wish I got a Lexus F Sport before the chip shortages happened. My Camry xse trade in value with 40,000 miles is worth $26-28k and a Lexus with 90-100k miles is around that price range. These prices are nuts
it's what happens when the government prints money.
Start of 2020 I bought a 2015 G37 Coupe for 13,000k 62,000 miles 1 owner.. now one in my town selling with a similar spec about 10,000 less miles but grey interior is selling for 25,000…
I guess if you wreck your car and have to drive to work your screwed and gotta buy something
Myself as well as most others would rather have a low mileage Camry compared to a high mileage Lexus. When things improve those high mileage cars will go to the back of the line again.
I drove a lexus is350 2011 new 90,000 and never had an issue other than the battery.
I bought a 2013 ILX with 85k miles about a year and a half ago and love it. Recently took a nearl 600 mile road trip over the weekend and got 37 miles a gallon. Only complaint is the lack of Android Auto.
I had a 2006 is250 with 160k still ran like brand new, recently got a 2014 is250. Yes they are well built cars. Remember on my 06 I drove through a curb got 3 flats no power steering and airbags deployed and was still able to drive about 5 minutes to a safe parking lot
My BMW is 20 years old and still working great.
Bought a 2003 e46 I'm about 4k deep into, hard to beat for the money. But BMW's quality has gone downhill since then. I wouldn't touch a new BMW.
toyota last longer than 30 years lol. BMW suck
@@s.m.5343 they used to care:(
My 2003 BMW Z4 runs like a dream still.
@@s.m.5343 Nope it doesn't.
As soon as I seen the IS250 I knew this was a great video
I loved my 2008 VW EOS hard top convertible cuz it also had a glass hard top so I had a functional sunroof/moonroof that opened..so I had many functions
Top up with sunroof open or closed or full on hard top down!
Never had any issues or complaints the 5 years I owned it!
Only small thing was a weird creaking noise from back driver side when going over bumps when the top was up…
Never could figure out how to fix the noise..
Was awesome car til it was totaled
My wife drives Lexus IS350c and loves it but there's nothing like BMW performance, I'm on my fourth M3 and already looking for an M4 and daily I drive 535i, wouldn't switch for Lexus, please don't insult people Scotty. I watch you all the time !
About that volvo. I love my c70 (my 3rd volvo). Changed the timing belt immediately. Found out the hard way that the timing belt is not well protected. I lost the serpentine belt at start up, it whipped around and sliced the timing belt which in turn murdered the engine.
So make sure the serpentine belt AND the tensioner are replaced too!
Oh, and the door lock mechanisms are garbage. It's the strangest thing.
I still love it though.
I'm sorry to hear that!
Awesome channel Scotty... I had a heart attacked, short of breath, and blacked out and passed out 3 times watching his videos, every time, lol.. Thumbs up dude!!!
Scotty I’d love to know your opinion on Skoda cars. Particularly the Skoda Octavia. I’m thinking of buying it here in India. I am aware that it is a part of the VW group and has the same pitfalls that German cars have. I’d love to know how you’d rate it vs, say a Toyota Corolla.
best car to this day was an 1988 acura legend bought it for 2,000$ as my first car drove it over 300k and then gave it to a friend that still has it as a spare car. crazy how its still running
Like the video Scotty! What years range I need to be in?
As a former BMW owner which I spend more time in the repair more than I would like, this is very true. Now that I own a very reliable Honda, I miss my old E90 BMW.
Yah, Ur right about the rag top thing Scotty. I have a 95 mustang gt convertible and it always sounds like there’s air coming in the cabin or the convertible top is shaking lol other than that the cars fine with the minor annoyance of having to get a new rag top every two years
I agree with the video, I don't know where you'd have to live to find these deals but there's nothing even close near me.
Scotty you’re a king! “I find this front bumper odd looking, but who cares, you don’t see it when driving the car!” Great humour!
I think my grandmother was smart for buying a Town Car and I'm smart for being the only person in the family who wanted it after she passed away. It's not what some people would consider a 'drivers car' but feeling like you are driving down the interstate in an Imperial Star Destroyer is still quite pleasing for me.
Town Cars, Crown Vics, Grand Marquis all legit
Imperial Star Destroyer is awesome. I refer to my 03 Town Car as a Land Yacht lol
I love volvo but unfortunately I rarely se any here in texas. Especially not the c70. I think volvo is very under rated
volvos were everywhere in the 80s n 90s. volvo wagons were popular too, back then.
New Volvo's have the look and feel like German brands but for a lower price tag. Unfortuntaly their reliability is average in Europe, not like the good old days anymore.
When I come to the US, I will buy a car from Scotty only. I am not in US but still been following your channel since couple of years. Love your brutal honesty.
I will be in US (Chicago) in May this year. Which part are you in @Scotty?
He lives in Clarksville Tennessee but also has a house in Rhode Island
He doesn't sell cars lol.
Chicago in the house!
Good Saturday afternoon to you Scotty and family, we will be safe and be happy BROTHER! 🧰👋👋👍🤣
VVT engines take a while to start going, from gear gear 1 to gear 3. And need a lot of gas if starting at the the bottom of a hill.
But once they keep going, they do like to go.
What do you do if your red steering wheel light exclamation comes on white driving?
My brother in law is an equipment service engineer at Hondas Anna Ohio plant and they send him all over the world. He says they are very demanding about tolerances on machines and how things are done which is part of the reason their stuff lasts forever.

What's your thoughts on a 2020 Camaro with a V6 3.6 L engine and 10 Speed Auto
Man those Acuras are just killer driving handling machines
In the Lexus lineup I like the LS the most, preferably the LS400, LS430, LS460, orb even the latest LS iteration.
There is also a thing we call Sweden-Steel here in europe. Its a steelmixture that has better quality and rust less. The opposite of that is the steel they use in Fiat's. They rust even in sunny Italy.
How do I check the transmission fluid on my 2010 Mercedes-Benz E350 sedan

On my 2010 v6 Honda Crosstour I average 24 mpg and 35 mpg on flat interstate at 68 mph. Lots of power and a lot of space. Great auto 🚘
I owned an IS250, had to sell it due to sheer boredom.
Bottom line, buy Euro cars if you can afford them, if you can't, don't. I had some guy almost commit to buying my M135i BMW a few years back, then his finance fell through. If you're in this person, buy a Toyota or Lexus. You can't afford upkeep.
Or a Kia or Hyundai 😃

Nothing compares to the Japanese quality and work ethic. I live in Japan. And the same will happen to evs when they start making them seriously.
They already take electric seriously when they made the Prius. Longest lasting batteries in the industry.
@@gtmike916 until China conquers them and take over the factory and 10 yr old boys as workers

Is that why they try to work themselves to death in Japan? Lmao that's not a healthy work ethic at all
The interior material of the ILX is top notch. The kid on the Volvo when opening the hood, not excited at all.
I’ve been working at Lexus for about 6 months and have yet to see any turbo component failures

With the passing of Pat Goss from Motor Week, could you imagine the carnage having Scotty doing his segment there.

Best Luxyry Car is Lexus Period. Just bought a 2022 Lexus NX 250 . And guess what ? Made in Japan. Hooe to have it well over 400k miles .👍👍👍👍
I hope it will last a long time
@@lilstoopa9392 I hope so I made sure I got first batch cause they're made in Japan. Now production is in Canada.
Pls be honest when you take back to the dealer for some gremlins
Best Toyota sports car toyota ever made is the celica. I bought a 2002 celica gts manual in 2002 and guess what? Its made in Japan. I hope to get 400k miles out of it. Oh, I'm currently at 399,500 miles. 😂
Can you do a review on bmw i4 ? Is it worth buying considering the high maintenance cost for BMW
Great fun well made cars those Volvo C70s. The cabin air filter on the other hand is a nightmare to change. 😠
I LOVE that big grill!
17:31 Transformers, more than meets the eye!
I didn't know Pinifarina manufactured the Volvo. The Battista is nice!
What year was the year of the Volvo?
Scottie! The IS250 is direct injected. They stop making that engine because of the carbon buildup issues.
this is correct. stay far away from the 250
Scotty, what is your view on Alfa Romeo?
Scotty, the world's best luxury used car salesman. I'm ready to go buy every used vehicle he just mentioned! Seriously though! Thank you Scotty!
Get Mazda 2.5t instead
@@anpham8107 no… lol
Volvo C70 also comes with a Aisin transmission which is a bonus
this concerns only the north american market, it's completely different here in Africa/Europe, BMW and BENZs in diesel variants are extremely reliable, not to forget VW and peugeot, with enough maintenance you can get a lot of miles out of a Peugeot 406 or a bmw e39 530d.
I’ve had my is250 for a couple weeks and I love it. Smooth ride and quick acceleration
What type of gas do you use?
Lol 😂 “All this stuff you can play around with without taking your eye off the road”, That’s why we love ❤️ you Scotty.
Scotty i always value your judgement but i have a good BMW and thats the e30 325i it lasted many years and still strong.There are some good BMW's.But hey thats one good car and its my next buy though its hard to get these particular types of Lexus here.Too many Lexus 4x4.
And If they can make bullet prof transmissions on acuras (supposedly)
I’ve seen them fail without warning and have a couple replaced transmissions in their lifetime..
But yet Honda automatic transmissions suck and are weak!?
Why not do in Honda what they do in Acura? They’re the same company!
Acuras engines are different. They are bigger and more powerful
German cars are endless money pits. 💯
No, you're poor..100%
Ok Toyota fanboy
What about Italians?
@The Real VR Care to explain why they are crap? Have you had personal experience with them? And please tell me why you would spend $100k on a gx570, that's crazy.
@The Real VR bro, don't even begin to brag about paying 100k cash for a car, with all humility, one of my watches are worth more than 100k collected over 3 years ago, don't brag on social media, there ware people that can buy you and all of your family in this world, German cars vary in classes, bottom line they are not crap and can only be for people that can afford them, just like phones, there are so many people that can't afford an iPhone 13 Pro max and or s22 ultra, it doesn't mean they are crap and with all humility I have both and waiting for the new 14 and new Note 23...
I have a 2010 Lexus IS250 with 125k on the clock. I am grateful to have this car now because it is going to last me through the current shortage.
Hello Scotty from Mooresville NC
Its nice to see you doing a review on a Lexus. If Can you find a 007 Gen2 IS350 I'd like to hear your thoughts on that.
evening!
I like the ilx more than the Integra reboot
That Lexus front face man is my favorite looking car facade
Lexus has a beautiful face
The front end looks great though..
I haven't seen a Scotty video in months, even though I'm subscribed.
2 1/2 minutes in, I'm saying, where are the funny inserts illustrating the point...?
IS250. No floor mats because it’s been in a flood ?
Aren’t these V6 250 GDI inferior engines?
The turbo 4 cylinder are a nightmare to work on. You have to remove the turbo manifold to swap the SECOND thermostat.
Actually, the Car Care Nut, who's a master Toyota/Lexus mechanic, has that Lexus IS250 on his list of cars to avoid because it was Toyota's first attempt at direct injection and the engine had lots of problems. So Scotty is off the mark there.
I mean… pretty sure Scotty is an expert Toyota/Lexus (/all others) mechanic. Idk Car Care Nut but I’d wager there’s a not-insignificant chance that they’re off the mark there.
I think that was only the early models like my 2006 is 250. To remedy the situation I use only top tier fuel ⛽ and only full synthetic oil changed every 5000 miles. I'm at 235000 miles no issues yet still runs like a sewing machine but I have heard of the issue with other folks who own the 2006 model.
It was really only the early models that had those problems. They got better over time and they still make them.
Scotty posted this an hour ago but it's still in Texas!
Surprised Scotty didn't mention that the Volvo was a Ford Focus underneath.
The Lexus spindle grill, to me, makes it look like the car has a harelip.
Pls someone respond I had a trans speed sensor that was causing check engine light. So I replaced it and it’s still showing the light and sfhifting weird. I drove it after replacing it and everything. How do I fix it.
If it drives well I’d leave it unless you feel a problem. Take it to a mechanic if you are worried about it
@@RRLV434 it’s shifting weird and shift hard and downshifts hard. I don’t want to take it to a mechanic becuase their just gonna scan it with a obd2 and it’s gonna say that code. Even tho I replaced.
Good evening señor scotty!!
evening!
I had a IS250 but found it too sedate and boring - no driver involvement - it was a great car reliable however and very comfortable was a 2008 model and according to the VIN its still on the road from the last owner. I would probably get a IS350, if they are still made... I sold my IS250 for a MB CL55 AMG (i know, I know) which turned out to be a money pit, so 1 month later I got another Japanese car a Subaru legacy 3.0 SpecB, again with a 6 cylinder NA and its a drivers car with a 6 speed manual so I still have it after 6 years. One of the cars I have bookmarked to replace my Subaru is the Lexus LS460, everyone needs a reliable V8 in their life.
Note, the IS 250 has a transmission case that sits right under the driver's right leg. For some reason, the transaxle housing is so massive in the front of the car it reduces the leg room of the driver. It is weird and when I test drove it, the salesman informed me with the older design of that model that is what Toyota did. So it is very reliable, but very odd. Don't get a flooded car like Scotty has - those things are going to have electrical problems most likely in the near future. Surprised he likes the Volvo, they used to be great cars but have been hit and miss as of late. Don't buy the XC90 with the Yamaha engine, they are pretty terrible engines.
How you feel about ford maverick? Is it a good car?
He did a video on one look it up
My BMW 128i is simply amazing 😻
Honestly though I couldn’t afford it if I didn’t do all the work on it;)
Amen to that. I love my 128. Na I6, three pedal 6 speed, rwd, hydraulic steering. Everything is simple and easy to fix, parts are not outrageous and easy to find. Great car if your a competent mechanic.
