This is a Motormouth couple car video discussing the cost to replace the battery in 2022 Hyundai IONIQ 5. After finding out that his battery protection cover was scratched, the owner was told the battery needed to be replace for more than he paid for the car brand new. Over $60,000, so he decided to make a claim on his insurance and have the car written off. This is a cautionary tale to not only EV owners and potential owners but also other manufacturrers, that these kinds of casts are out much more than consumers are expecting to pay. Hyundai Canada was eventually notified to the customers concerns but only after the car had been written off by the insurer. Watch this story and decide for yourself.
Am old...and every year that goes by I see the new vehicles being produced and sold, I have a much greater appreciation for my old vehicles that I still drive everyday. I have less money invested in a dozen old vehicles than if I were to buy one new, average priced vehicle. Very few features on new vehicles appeal to me and most of it is entirely unnecessary. Everything I own is paid off.
After seven decades of life and 56 years of driving, I'm with you and in full agreement. I've always made an above average income in Canada, but I have never bought a new vehicle from a dealer. I've only owned 9 vehicles throughout my life and only 2 were purchased from use car dealers and the other 7 from private sales. I've bought a range from a 1 year old vehicle with 15,000 kilometers on it, to a 10 year old vehicle with 178 K on the odometer and everything in between. I've always enjoyed doing the majority of work on them myself and usually only using a mechanic when the job absolutely required a hoist, or during January and February when it's - 30 deg. C. in the driveway. Very few of those vehicles ever cost me more than a thousand dollars per year for repairs and general maintenance. The total cost of vehicles for a lifetime have cost less than the original sticker price of the used vehicle I drive now. I also have zero debt owed to anyone.
@@chrisgraham2904 very commendable! I also do all my own vehicle service other than repairing automatic transmissions...of which I have had very little problems with as I don't abuse my vehicles by trying to pull more than they are designed to pull. My newest vehicle currently is 13 years old and looking at it, comparing it to my older vehicles, the areas of cost cutting are clearly visible. The few features that enjoy on my newer vehicles, 13 year old vehicles, are intermittent wipers, rear window defrost, heated seat (which is Canada is probably much appreciated), power seats, cruise control etc. Of course these features have been around for decades but my oldest vehicles do not have them. I drive all of them carefully as I have no need for full coverage insurance and license in ND is very affordable.
It is important to keep in mind that new cars and new large appliances are on the same shorter and shorter, made ever cheaper, life cycle track these days. They represent good value in today's money for what they are actually are. Just don't be fooled into thinking they are going to last for a long time before they turn into carefully computer crafted, money pits.
My retired father recently bought an electric car with the theory he rarely leaves the city anymore, and it will probably be the last car he ever buys. He went with the Polestar, and it was only afterwards he realised it actually cost more than half the houses he's ever bought. It is a sweet ride though. We swap vehicles when he has a longer trip to see my Uncle. My car's a Mazda CX60 hybrid, so it has whatever range you want, with great fuel consumption. Apart from oil changes, I haven't worked on a vehicle built after about 1990. But any car I've had since then has been a work vehicle where the maintenance is all paid in pre-tax money, so why do it yourself? Apart from blatant things, without a scan tool you're fishing in the dark with any modern vehicle anyway.
Always bought new but took care of them & repaired them when necessary. Now have a 2007 Highlander with 101,000 & an 2019 Camry with only 6,400 on it. Once had a 1985 Thunderbird for 20 years. It was the small sports addition & was my son's high school car & he was very popular with the girls. Always waxed them & kept them under my double carport.
My grandfather had a hay bailer that was self-powered with a V4 Continental engine and a CVT transmission in 1945. He traded it for a new square bailer with a geared transmission after 35 years he could no longer find parts for the bailer. The engine had been overhauled a few times but except for a few belt changes the CVT was working flawlessly.
I had brake pulsation, really bad, after replacing the rotors, pads, drums, brake shoes. A friend used to own a full service gas station, told me that every time they did drum brakes, they trued up the drums, having them turned just enough to get true round. I tried that, and it worked. What I'm saying is, if you get new brake drums, have them turned true, before installing.
I'm from Massachusetts and our family used to be die hard Corolla fans for the great reliability and gas mileage. In 2016 we started buying Subaru Imprezas to replace the Corollas and we love them for the same reasons. We switched for the all wheel drive system in the Subarus
Hey Scotty, don't come down too hard on the 1992 Mercury Capri. I have one that I drive daily. Mechanically it's a Mazda 323. Very reliable and economical. I don't know about parts availability. Other than replacing the distributor a couple of years ago I haven't needed any engine parts. Can't say that about the body. If I have ever have a crash I'll send it to the junk yard but until then it's extremely cheap transportation.
I had a used capri a year or two in the early eighties. It was very dependable softer a airpump replacement but I found a cool Camaro so I sold the capri:)
The Toyota hybrid eCVT does not look like the CVT you show. They have no belts or cones but a fixed planetary gear set with the two motors interacting with it and the engine to produce variable ratios. That is why they are reliable vs the “Trad” CVTs.
Hey Scotty, The new 2025 Camry is only available as a hybrid and e-cvt. do you think this would be reliable. It would be impossible to afford to fix it if the hybrid battery dies or the cvt goes down. People would be upside down if it breaks and the warranty is over. what are your thought on this new hybrid-ecvt thing?
Regardless of launch gear it’s still a metal on metal belt . I live in a mountainous area with 25 mile hills i doubt it would shift into the launch gear at 60 mph😂
Yes as in that’s what limp mode is for. Your car found a major issue somewhere and it’s saving you from hurting it anymore than what’s already done. So you can get home safely
I've been driving a Subaru CVT since 2010 without issue in snowy conditions. It is a metal chain, pulley-based CVT, the metal chain pulley system is generally quieter than other CVT designs.
I have a 2021 Corolla LE with 65,000 miles on the CVT. I do not jack rabbit start, but I really like the CVT transmission because of how smooth it is. I really don't understand why I would want a launch gear as: if I really wanted to I could step on the accelerator and really take off! No lack of power. I plan on having this car for many years, so I hope the transmission holds up. Thinking I will do a drain and fill on the transmission.
I have the 2024 Corolla LE and you can tell it's saving the CVT from over working. That's the key because the system is friction based and they get really hot. The initial take off is where the CVT is at its most inefficient. The fluid will get hammered quicker so standard CVT should be replaced every 30,000 - 37,000 miles depending on how you drive. I'd do the same with the new style anyway, won't hurt.
you are the reason my daughter bought her new 2024 Toyota Corolla over a Nissan because she wanted something she could drive for the next 20 years or 250k+ miles if she takes care of it right and after watching your video about Toyotas take off gear it was decided she is 20 and this is her first new car and probably her last so long as no other mishaps Thanks for all your great information ...I still have my 06 Nissan Altima I got new BUTT it is a stick shift so no worries there :-) anti theft device now days
Just remind her to change the oil every 5000 miles, tell her to not listen to these people that say it can be done every 10k miles. A $50 oil change every 5k miles will make that car last forever.
The new Corollas often times have issues with the CVTs. And weird electrical gremlins. I see them all the time come in and the customer always is surprised because they fell for the false indoctrination that it's a Toyota, it'll rarely break.
Got my 2013 rav4 fully paid for the thing has 126k miles I bought it with close to 90k miles for 15k I’ve been enjoying the car and I’ll drive it till the wheels fall off just keep doing routine maintenance
Hello to the Mercedes car buyer. The Mercedes 560 SL, check yhe engine to see if the engine is a 5.9L If The car have the 5.9L engine, for the years of 1988, 1989, 1990 & 1991, that car is a collector's car. The engine & the drive train ate a special design. It is a keeper. The common engine problem are, Rough idling or laging accelerations. Let me know what engine issues that exist. I can assist with the diagnostic
Thank you. Toyota told me my transmission fluid never needed to be changed. After I changed it the guy lied to my face saying it should be changed. If I can’t get 300,000 on a car ( I maintain my cars). I’ll never buy another Toyota He said don’t expect more than 129,000 miles in a pris. I oussed. I have damage. The fluid at 118,000 was so thick it needed to be pumped out.
I work at a courier company, and every yarris and rav 4 with cvts have had to be replaced between 100,000 to 200,000 ks , everyone one of them broke down.
I've got a 2020 Toyota Corolla Hatchback with the CVT. Works like a dream and drives smoothly. Bought it new and now it has 40k miles. Average 36 mpg all around.
Very similar to the Malossi cvt racing mod I fitted my Suzuki maxi-scooter. Launch changed dramatically! ps: Capris were made in Australia, based on the Mazda 323 / Ford Laser platform. They were crap, but the turbo is worth getting.
I have toyota rav4 2006 and I changed engine, charcoal canister, purger valve and so many other expensive things like Rack Pinion and I still have 5 codes coming up since two years... same codes ... P043E, P043F, P2401, P2402 and P2419. looks I inherited a piece a crab from Toyota. Any recommendations?
Yes, 2006-2008 are red flagged. Rav 4 has other model years to avoid also but 2006 maybe the worst model made. My wife's 2002 was bullet proof. She beat the hell out of that thing and it's fine. You have to be careful, I messed up with the 2010 Mazda 3. I got 8 years out of it but what a cheaply made car that was.
My current older model car requires a little transmission fluid top up once in a while but I'm upgrading to a 2024 Corolla. Is it necessary to keep a CVT transmission " topped up " or has that changed, I never had a CVT before.
The best jeep are all 1980s model (Cherokee) The best 1990s model is the 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo or the Limited with the 4.0L Inline Six Cylinder and 4x4.. (2-High, 4 Part Time, 4 Full Time, Neutral & 4 Low) this system has traction control. The 1999 Grand Cherokee with the 5.9L V-8 & 4x4 is the muscle car if the jeeps. The 1993 Grand Cherokee with the 5.2L V-8 is a Full Time 4 wheel drive (4 Full Time Neutral and 4 Low). Thus system has traction control. On these vehicles, you can check for codes with an OBD1 Scanner or you can use the check engine light.
I had a '14 Subi Crosstrek and I hated the hesitation it would have at the get-go, "1st" gear. Terrible! There was no getting out of the way right away!
Hi Scott like what u say ,I have a 21 blazer 3.6 some one said they have problems with the motor going bad I have 48000 mi.what do you say. Merry Christmas
I tried several times today at the dealership and that launch gear sucks soo bad. There is zero launch just a trolling. I will stick with a car that has a 6sp transmission.
No need for brand new. I agree. Also , I’ll never treat myself to business seats on a long haul flight. It’s not a treat to spend 5-6k for a seat on a plane where you can sit elsewhere for 1k you’re still arriving same place. No treat wasting so much money. Same with new cars.
I feel about the same regarding vehicles. Regardless of price, they do one thing...get you from point A to point B. As long as the vehicle is reliable and comfortable to drive, who cares how old it is or how many miles are on it.
Looking to buy a new 2024 for our daughter. We have two options: Option 1: give her my wife's 2018 honda pilot and buy my wife a new pilot (45,000plus ouch) Option 2: buy my daughter a new 2024 civic (used are almost as much as new!!!) and have wife keep her pilot. you have me confused. I have heard you say in a video you would shy away from the new corolla due to cvt, and now you are saying they are reliable. It seems to me after reading up and listening to videos, that you are lucky to get 120,000-150,0000 out of the newest honda cvt, and pretty much the same from a newest corolla, while a conventional automatic is expected to get 200,000 plus.
i have a question ..my daughter did buy that 2024 Toyota corolla and its has been great 41mpg highway 34 mpg around town and she has had it for 10 months and I was driving it back the other day on a trip we all went on and took her car and I was testing the feel of the acceleration at a few red lights and if you take it easy you can feel the take off gear then shift and from that point rpm stays the same till up to speed on the tac ..but if you accelerate much harder ..not burning tires hard but say 50-60% throttle not only can you feel it but the tac also displays what feels like 3 shifts ..i thought there was only 1 gear then cvt but it feels and acts like it is a 4 speed under hard acceleration but a 1 gear with cvt when accelerating gently and the tac rpm changes shows each shift ..going up to 70mph from a stop ....? ...do they not slowly change the ratio of the cvt smoothly under hard acceleration or dose the trans have 4 gears and a cvt depending on the work load thanks really enjoy your vids and thanks for all of the great info ..
is not shocking i have seen many corolla 2020 CVT failed 40000 mil to 80000 mil , all CVT are same , if you take care of it will be good unfortunately many people don´t no how to service and when to service thier car...😅
Nissan has had the auxiliary gearbox in their cvts for years... they still fail all the time. 2020 and up cvts have been greatly improved tho. Except versas and kicks.
It's not new, they have been doing launch gear for a couple years now. The problem is, the launch gear isn't required for the really low powered engines for the CVT to survive so Toyota isn't going to engineer them into the smaller weaker cars, even though those smaller weaker cars could really use the acceleration boost.
Scotty is just came here from your 7 myths video, we just bought an audi rs7 and premium gas is insanely more expensive than regular - is it okay for me to use regular? Love the content!
Glad I had the use of a convertible during my used car dealership days. Needed a hat to protect my bean from the sun, couldn't use the phone, hear the radio, or converse while driving a busy multi lane freeway. Prone to vandalism, and sooner or later, all rag tops need replacing. I've zero desire to purchase one, as practicality is my priority.
Nissan CVT is a PUSH chain system. Are you saying that Toyota is a pull belt system like a snowmobile belt clutch system. As a mechanic of 39 years i still would rather have clutch packs and planetary gears.
Hey Scotty I have a 1998 dodge ram 1500 single cab long bed, it has the 5.2 magnum and the nv3500 5 speed, exhaust is clean when it runs, what’s your thoughts on it and would it be a reliable vehicle to get back and forth to California from Utah? Any advice for owning it and trying to restore it, it’s 4x4
Hey Scotty! Been watching you for years! Love you and your content! I’ve been looking at this 2000 infinity G20 with 45k miles, seems like a beaut, but it’s at a dealership for 7k. Is it worth it? I can pay upfront. I’m thinking of checking it out tomorrow. Thanks Scotty!
I am wanting to say that one of Scotty's relatives (Son?) purchased a new Toyota with a CVT and loved the acceleration the car had. They asked Scotty if Toyota had changed anything and he said he didn't think so. He did some research and discovered Toyota had indeed added a launch gear. Toyota and Honda make their own CVT transmissions and they don't have much problems with them. I have seen them fail, however. GREAT VIDEO!
I’m with Henry Ford. The model t was the best rig ever made well, actually the idea of just making one usable car with transferable parts everywhere was fords idea he knew personalized cars means modified everything and a bastardized car. One car, one truck, all the same parts, all interchangeable between cars or trucks. Make them reliable cheap and easy to work on Toyota 22re motors in the car. Cummins 6.7 in the trucks and tada put any body you want on that mechanically sound vehicle. There are more Toyota 22re motors driving right now than any other car in the world. Or the Toyota 4afe. I got 600,000 out of a 4afe and the wife ran it out of oil.
💥One word of warning: DO NOT BUY A Toyota C-HR as I have learned the hard way. I am wondering why they didn't recall the worst cvt transmission on the planet because many of us are having a nightmare when our car is out of warranty and the transmissions go out in these Toyotas at around 80,000 miles. And Toyota tells us its over $10,000 to replace. No im not exaggerating. I am going through this now. Sadly, i love this car. But sadly, Im not sure what will happen! I think Toyota needs to step up and honor the Toyota owners and recall the CHRs. Glad they are making a better cvt, but what about those who got the bad one. PS. You're in Tennessee??? 😳
I kinda wish the could find a way to put a launch cvt with a highway cvt in big rigs. 10-13 gears is way too much shifting for an engine that has such a small range of rpm to work with (about 1000rpm).
After watching the first 52 seconds summary: "Toyota includes actual gear for first gear in CVT's to improve reliability." 10 years from now it will be... "Toyota now includes actual 1st and 2nd gears in CVT's to improve reliability." A pattern emerges.....

...except for the 4cylinder twin turbos with no option for non turbo, or even 6 cylinder engine....
Been waiting for mine for 7 months now..
Since when? I haven't seen a Toyota worth buying since the '90s.
Toyota has priced themselves out of the market and their reliability has declined

He can talk about his pecker but that doesn't make him a porn star.
My grandma has a Toyota Solara red Convertible, I’ve never driven it but I can verify it looks like fun.
Regardless of launch gear it’s still a metal on metal belt . I live in a mountainous area with 25 mile hills i doubt it would shift into the launch gear at 60 mph😂
If the CVT suffers a catastrophic failure, can you limp home or to the shop just using the starting gear? Would save being stranded waiting for a tow.
Yes as in that’s what limp mode is for. Your car found a major issue somewhere and it’s saving you from hurting it anymore than what’s already done. So you can get home safely

you are the reason my daughter bought her new 2024 Toyota Corolla over a Nissan because she wanted something she could drive for the next 20 years or 250k+ miles if she takes care of it right and after watching your video about Toyotas take off gear it was decided she is 20 and this is her first new car and probably her last so long as no other mishaps Thanks for all your great information ...I still have my 06 Nissan Altima I got new BUTT it is a stick shift so no worries there :-) anti theft device now days
Just remind her to change the oil every 5000 miles, tell her to not listen to these people that say it can be done every 10k miles. A $50 oil change every 5k miles will make that car last forever.
Don’t forget to change the CVT fluid every 40k to 50k miles also.
Nah... She'll sell it after 5-8 years 😂.
@@nhitc6832 How do you know?
The new Corollas often times have issues with the CVTs. And weird electrical gremlins. I see them all the time come in and the customer always is surprised because they fell for the false indoctrination that it's a Toyota, it'll rarely break.
I just bought a 2019 Honda jazz /fit. Having watched Scotty's videos the first thing I checked was to make sure the car was made in Japan.
if you get a new car Scotty? Get yourself a Camry TRD. you earned it.
Truth: I have flame blue Toyota with that CVT. The problem is people always want to race….a Corolla.
Got my 2013 rav4 fully paid for the thing has 126k miles I bought it with close to 90k miles for 15k I’ve been enjoying the car and I’ll drive it till the wheels fall off just keep doing routine maintenance
My 2015 Nissan Rogue have 300k and still running. Just maintain it with regular oil change
I heard a local used car dealer say this about the average monthly car payment. It is currently &538. Two years ago it was $350.
That is why the Dow Jones is at 37,000. Money is worth 17% less than 2 years ago. If you allow for that, the Dow Jones is down 6,000 actually.
Hello to the Mercedes car buyer.
The Mercedes 560 SL, check yhe engine to see if the engine is a 5.9L
If The car have the 5.9L engine, for the years of 1988, 1989, 1990 & 1991, that car is a collector's car. The engine & the drive train ate a special design.
It is a keeper.
The common engine problem are,
Rough idling or laging accelerations.
Let me know what engine issues that exist. I can assist with the diagnostic
They should harness all these shocks to help charge EV’s
We buy a new car every 5 or 6 years. Largely, for the peace of mind of having a reliable vehicle that's under warranty, and often, with maintenance.
The blue thing is a Salsbury type torque converter. Snowmobiles have had those for 50 years.
Thank you. Toyota told me my transmission fluid never needed to be changed. After I changed it the guy lied to my face saying it should be changed. If I can’t get 300,000 on a car ( I maintain my cars). I’ll never buy another Toyota He said don’t expect more than 129,000 miles in a pris. I oussed. I have damage. The fluid at 118,000 was so thick it needed to be pumped out.
Thanks old man 😇😉 youre honest review and ur smartness.. i / we like it
The part about the Mercury Capri reminded me of the Pontiac Fiero and the Buick Reatta from back in the day.
I work at a courier company, and every yarris and rav 4 with cvts have had to be replaced between 100,000 to 200,000 ks , everyone one of them broke down.
I read about this new transmission on Road & Track's website almost 6 years ago.
This guy must work for Toyota
I've got a 2020 Toyota Corolla Hatchback with the CVT. Works like a dream and drives smoothly. Bought it new and now it has 40k miles. Average 36 mpg all around.
awesome! do you mostly drive it in regular mode or sport mode? is sport mode really that great?
@@braetonwilson4296 Regular mode all the time. Sport just keeps the revs higher. Useless on the street.
good since I plan on purchasing the 2024 Corolla LE that has the same powertrain as yours however no sport mode
Good report as always sir
He should TradeMark the phrase ..".Endless Money Pit"....could double the fortune he already has! 😂
Very similar to the Malossi cvt racing mod I fitted my Suzuki maxi-scooter. Launch changed dramatically!
ps: Capris were made in Australia, based on the Mazda 323 / Ford Laser platform. They were crap, but the turbo is worth getting.
I have toyota rav4 2006 and I changed engine, charcoal canister, purger valve and so many other expensive things like Rack Pinion and I still have 5 codes coming up since two years... same codes ...
P043E, P043F, P2401, P2402 and P2419.
looks I inherited a piece a crab from Toyota.
Any recommendations?
Yes, 2006-2008 are red flagged. Rav 4 has other model years to avoid also but 2006 maybe the worst model made. My wife's 2002 was bullet proof. She beat the hell out of that thing and it's fine. You have to be careful, I messed up with the 2010 Mazda 3. I got 8 years out of it but what a cheaply made car that was.
My current older model car requires a little transmission fluid top up once in a while but I'm upgrading to a 2024 Corolla. Is it necessary to keep a CVT transmission " topped up " or has that changed, I never had a CVT before.
Happy Holidays!
The best jeep are all 1980s model (Cherokee)
The best 1990s model is the 1993 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo or the Limited with the 4.0L Inline Six Cylinder and 4x4.. (2-High, 4 Part Time, 4 Full Time, Neutral & 4 Low) this system has traction control.
The 1999 Grand Cherokee with the 5.9L V-8 & 4x4 is the muscle car if the jeeps.
The 1993 Grand Cherokee with the 5.2L V-8 is a Full Time 4 wheel drive (4 Full Time Neutral and 4 Low). Thus system has traction control.
On these vehicles, you can check for codes with an OBD1 Scanner or you can use the check engine light.
Can you give me a complete review of a 2006 subaru Baja Please!! I had a 2 inch lift kit put on it. Thanks Bud! I'll be watching!❤
2023 toyota corolla cross xle gas awd. CVT transmission had to be replaced at 13,000 miles.
I had a '14 Subi Crosstrek and I hated the hesitation it would have at the get-go, "1st" gear. Terrible!
There was no getting out of the way right away!
Hi Scott like what u say ,I have a 21 blazer 3.6 some one said they have problems with the motor going bad I have 48000 mi.what do you say. Merry Christmas
I tried several times today at the dealership and that launch gear sucks soo bad. There is zero launch just a trolling. I will stick with a car that has a 6sp transmission.
NICE!! HAPPY HOLIDAYS
Loved it Scotty as always ❤️
No need for brand new. I agree. Also , I’ll never treat myself to business seats on a long haul flight. It’s not a treat to spend 5-6k for a seat on a plane where you can sit elsewhere for 1k you’re still arriving same place. No treat wasting so much money. Same with new cars.
I feel about the same regarding vehicles. Regardless of price, they do one thing...get you from point A to point B. As long as the vehicle is reliable and comfortable to drive, who cares how old it is or how many miles are on it.
Arrive at the same time too
Looking to buy a new 2024 for our daughter. We have two options:
Option 1: give her my wife's 2018 honda pilot and buy my wife a new pilot (45,000plus ouch)
Option 2: buy my daughter a new 2024 civic (used are almost as much as new!!!) and have wife keep her pilot.
you have me confused. I have heard you say in a video you would shy away from the new corolla due to cvt, and now you are saying they are reliable. It seems to me after reading up and listening to videos, that you are lucky to get 120,000-150,0000 out of the newest honda cvt, and pretty much the same from a newest corolla, while a conventional automatic is expected to get 200,000 plus.
Just bought a RAV4 2023. With the 8 speed transmission. Love it.
The Toyota ECVT is bulletproof. No belt.
Toyota must hire this guy
Yeah, you do save $ on used cars. I could've gone for a new accord for roughly 36k, but got a used 2.0t Accord w 50k miles for 24k. Easy choice.
What year they added the first gear on CVT?
Once again you are a Seth of information 👍👍👍😎
Reliability wise, even the early Toyota CVTs without a launch gear are not bad.
Can other cars use a launch gear or is it proprietary for Toyota?
i have a question ..my daughter did buy that 2024 Toyota corolla and its has been great 41mpg highway 34 mpg around town and she has had it for 10 months and I was driving it back the other day on a trip we all went on and took her car and I was testing the feel of the acceleration at a few red lights and if you take it easy you can feel the take off gear then shift and from that point rpm stays the same till up to speed on the tac ..but if you accelerate much harder ..not burning tires hard but say 50-60% throttle not only can you feel it but the tac also displays what feels like 3 shifts ..i thought there was only 1 gear then cvt but it feels and acts like it is a 4 speed under hard acceleration but a 1 gear with cvt when accelerating gently and the tac rpm changes shows each shift ..going up to 70mph from a stop ....? ...do they not slowly change the ratio of the cvt smoothly under hard acceleration or dose the trans have 4 gears and a cvt depending on the work load thanks really enjoy your vids and thanks for all of the great info ..
Scotty Kilmer know best
Yo toyota be wildin this like the 20th time they shocked the car industry, poor industry must be a nervous wreck by now.
It just jump starts the industry
I've heard about the same shockings, cars he's buying, road trips, and times he's pissed a million times.... And I just keep watching
is not shocking i have seen many corolla 2020 CVT failed 40000 mil to 80000 mil , all CVT are same , if you take care of it will be good unfortunately many people don´t no how to service and when to service thier car...😅
Hey Scotty my 2020 veloster was tottal by a deer, 2024 Toyota gr86 any good?
Nissan has had the auxiliary gearbox in their cvts for years... they still fail all the time. 2020 and up cvts have been greatly improved tho. Except versas and kicks.
It's not new, they have been doing launch gear for a couple years now. The problem is, the launch gear isn't required for the really low powered engines for the CVT to survive so Toyota isn't going to engineer them into the smaller weaker cars, even though those smaller weaker cars could really use the acceleration boost.
Steam engines with 180hp and 1000lbs of torque is amazing.
Hey Scotty I bought a autell maxysis 808 last year for 650. but they went up they are now 750
Scotty is just came here from your 7 myths video, we just bought an audi rs7 and premium gas is insanely more expensive than regular - is it okay for me to use regular? Love the content!
Can't wait for next shock from Scotty
Glad I had the use of a convertible during my used car dealership days. Needed a hat to protect my bean from the sun, couldn't use the phone, hear the radio, or converse while driving a busy multi lane freeway. Prone to vandalism, and sooner or later, all rag tops need replacing. I've zero desire to purchase one, as practicality is my priority.
When should the fluid be changed in these?
Also I am looking at Lexus RX350 2017 with 55000 miles asking 25000$ what do you think?
Nissan CVT is a PUSH chain system. Are you saying that Toyota is a pull belt system like a snowmobile belt clutch system. As a mechanic of 39 years i still would rather have clutch packs and planetary gears.
Hey Scotty I have a 1998 dodge ram 1500 single cab long bed, it has the 5.2 magnum and the nv3500 5 speed, exhaust is clean when it runs, what’s your thoughts on it and would it be a reliable vehicle to get back and forth to California from Utah? Any advice for owning it and trying to restore it, it’s 4x4
Added note it had 190,000 miles on it, and I checked the difs and transfer case difs are clean but t case fluid is black, does not smell burnt though
Cvt with manual sequental mode in yaris 2024, 1.3 cc engine.. is it good ??
What year Toyotas have the CVT with the real takeoff gear?
I saw he said he don't like CVT and he need the real gears, manual, in other clip. Is this the same guy? Could it be the Marvel multiverse?
Hey Scotty! Been watching you for years! Love you and your content!
I’ve been looking at this 2000 infinity G20 with 45k miles, seems like a beaut, but it’s at a dealership for 7k. Is it worth it? I can pay upfront. I’m thinking of checking it out tomorrow. Thanks Scotty!
I am wanting to say that one of Scotty's relatives (Son?) purchased a new Toyota with a CVT and loved the acceleration the car had. They asked Scotty if Toyota had changed anything and he said he didn't think so. He did some research and discovered Toyota had indeed added a launch gear. Toyota and Honda make their own CVT transmissions and they don't have much problems with them. I have seen them fail, however. GREAT VIDEO!
2018 Camry xse - 4 cylinder- transmission went out - 110k miles - got two mechanics to review and confirmed -it’s dead.
I’m with Henry Ford. The model t was the best rig ever made well, actually the idea of just making one usable car with transferable parts everywhere was fords idea he knew personalized cars means modified everything and a bastardized car. One car, one truck, all the same parts, all interchangeable between cars or trucks. Make them reliable cheap and easy to work on Toyota 22re motors in the car. Cummins 6.7 in the trucks and tada put any body you want on that mechanically sound vehicle. There are more Toyota 22re motors driving right now than any other car in the world. Or the Toyota 4afe. I got 600,000 out of a 4afe and the wife ran it out of oil.
💥One word of warning: DO NOT BUY A Toyota C-HR as I have learned the hard way. I am wondering why they didn't recall the worst cvt transmission on the planet because many of us are having a nightmare when our car is out of warranty and the transmissions go out in these Toyotas at around 80,000 miles. And Toyota tells us its over $10,000 to replace. No im not exaggerating. I am going through this now. Sadly, i love this car. But sadly, Im not sure what will happen! I think Toyota needs to step up and honor the Toyota owners and recall the CHRs. Glad they are making a better cvt, but what about those who got the bad one. PS. You're in Tennessee??? 😳
Scotty spends way more on scan tools than he does on cars! :^D
Yeh mechanics do that: buy an old car and keep it repaired forever. Ordinary people don't want to do that, for obvious reasons.
What year they started using this CVT on Toyotas ?
When you say that it makes the CVT's to last... how long?
didnt subaru had this tech like 6 years ago?
Did the industry get struts too?
2:22 best advice ever. I have a 2019 cvt civic hatchback sport.
I kinda wish the could find a way to put a launch cvt with a highway cvt in big rigs. 10-13 gears is way too much shifting for an engine that has such a small range of rpm to work with (about 1000rpm).
don't give em ideas I like grabbin gears n passin qu**rs
I'm sticking to a conventional automatic or a manual (if you can find one) on a Toyota
Why not drive the 94 celica if someone crashes your Matrix?
Scotty, I drive an 86 Toyota RV 😂😂 now I'm buying a 1980 Chevy Camper van with 44k miles on it.. wadda ya think? 🤪
I foresee changing a lot of gaskets
@justinschexnayder8485 yeah, got a good mechanic, who is fortunately excited about it, so hoping for the best!
After watching the first 52 seconds summary: "Toyota includes actual gear for first gear in CVT's to improve reliability." 10 years from now it will be... "Toyota now includes actual 1st and 2nd gears in CVT's to improve reliability." A pattern emerges.....
