Rav 4 Mazda CX30 Lexus RX350

[@rickjames9524]

The hero we didn't know we needed but we do appreciate

[@TehRealVR]

2nd gen toyota highlander is the best.

[@BennyC-qg6rd]

It's a toss up. My next car is either an Avalon or RX330.

[@TehRealVR]

@@BennyC-qg6rd the 330 uses an interference engine with a timing belt. The rx350 has the better v6 with a timing chain and non interference engine. The avalon is incredible. The es350 is based on the avalon and with the fsport package it handles really nice. Feels like a lincoln inside for comfor level. Great in the snow.

[@nuthinbutlove]

​@@BennyC-qg6rdI've always wanted an Avalon.

[@ShelbyVoll]

I literally just bought a 2013 Rav4 Limited 3 days ago...with ...get ready....66k miles!! Owned by a retired couple... I traded my 2021 Corolla Le with 120k for it and a few grand. It looks brand new and drives new!! Thanks for all your advice Scotty!!!

[@TehRealVR]

[@cardiogirl798]

My 2013 Rav 4 xle just blew the torque converter at 151000 km They are notorious for having torque converters blowing which costs thousands I now have to fix and sell I’m pissed I’m buying a new car with a V6 f Toyota I thought it would be reliable it is anything but Never buy a Toyota again ever

Hey Scotty! I just wanted to say thank you for all the valuable advice and car knowledge you share with us. I’ve learned so much from your videos, and it’s helped me a lot. It's sad to see some people giving you a hard time, but know that many of us truly appreciate your passion and expertise. Keep doing what you do best!

[@meastwood274]

We bought my wife’s 2008 highlander hybrid with 290k on it. We now have 405k on it. It was the last year of the 3.3 but has the newer body style. I highly suggest it.

[@1_helper-PST]

did you replace the battery?

[@The1andonlyification]

Yes please, we need to know that. Did you replace the battery?

[@meastwood274]

@@1_helper-PST battery system is all original. The only thing I had to replace was the relay under the back seat between the battery system due to water getting in through the rear bumper cover.

[@meastwood274]

@ all original. Just typical abs module on these went bad and the relay for hybrid batteries.

[@fordhalsey89]

That's good to know! I remember when the 3.3 came out and a food salesman bought one. He was claiming 4 cylinder gas mileage back then. So that kind of longevity.. that's everything to me.

[@Kashiwa-no-ha]

I live in Japan, CX-30 is a middle sized SUV here, not some ‘giant’ things. Road in Japan is narrow and curved, small cars have many advantages.

[@fordhalsey89]

I have a cousin in St Louis with one and she's tall but not as tall as i am. I saw her this last weekend and frankly I like the car but it's kinda claustrophobic for this side of the family with our height and size.

[@georgiahamilton4346]

Yes! I have a 15 year old Lexus RX 350 V6 runs great!!

[@adamwinn]

I have this scan tool. Or the slightly more vertical model. You only need to connect it to the Internet, the first time or if you are updating the software. And you do not need to really update the software after the first time unless you’re continually working on newer vehicles.

[@tcshy1903]

I took your advice! I found a 2015 RAV4 Limited in great condition. Exterior and interior in perfect condition.. I bought it a few days ago. I love it!

[@BrianHill]

Love my non-turbo 2023 CX-5 that just got to the 2-year anniversary of driving it off the lot. I am 6' and I found the CX-30 cramped. The CX-50 was unnecessarily large for my needs. So I ended up with the CX-5. In 2023 the CX-5 didn't have auto start-stop (yaaayy!). That arrived in the 2024 model year. The 2023 also had Carplay, but not wireless Carplay. Wireless Carplay and the touchscreen instead of the scroll wheel input also came in 2024.

[@markg999]

Our 14 Cx5 has 190k miles...rock solid engine. I've only replaced an ac relay and routine maintenance.

[@BrianHill]

@@markg999 And both of our CX-5s are made in Japan unlike the CX-50 (Alabama) and some of the CX-30s (Mexico, Thailand, and Japan).

[@markg999]

@BrianHill Yep... I wanted to replace the CX-5 with CX-9....but turbo version of engine seems to have head gasket issues unfortunately.

[@FoolsAmongUs]

I bought My Mercury Mariner Hybrid in 2009. It is/was the Greatest SUV Ever Made. Garage kept, 84k miles, EXCELLENT CONDITION, never driven in salt, the interior smell was still brand new. On Jan 10th of this year, I was rear-ended on the hwy and lost her. I hope that if I make into Heaven, GOD flips the keys, and I drive through a perfect hwy, where everyone else knows how to drive. I miss her every day.

[@M.Redsky]

I got a cx-5 with a turbo, I believe it will go the distance, have a long life. Volvo XC-70s I6s have turbos and easily get 300k miles on them

[@Mike__P]

I don't know where Scotty lives where a new Rav4 Hybrid costs $56,000. I live in one of the most expensive counties in the US and there are a ton available for as low as $33,000.

[@davidacks8014]

We just got a 2017 RAV4 LE for our grandson to go back and forth to College. It had 107,000 miles and was $16,000. Not as deluxe as a Limited but it should last him for his college career.

[@FlutterSwag]

Just bought a 2011 highlander with 160k miles, runs like a charm

[@billyrock8305]

$70,000 RAV4 Is nuts up here. 🇨🇦

[@binksterb]

Took your advice years ago, lucked out, and got a RX350 2014 with less than 80k. V6 Is great. The car has run great, other than tire sensors, sounds like transmission slips usually in the first couple of miles, but not enough to be annoying. Be safe, have a great week.

[@asadb1990]

Maybe try changing the automatic transmission fluid. 80k is a little late. But should drive much better. Do a simple drain and fill.

[@david2996]

Lucas transmission additive for a slipping transmission. Works amazingly well. I used to have an old Volvo, and it remmied the slipping. Scotty also recommends it

[@charley95sheridan44]

14 RX from new with 80k on the clock, absolutely ZERO repairs since I've had it. 45 years of driving and it's the best car I've ever owned. Also own an 18 GS with the same V-6 with no turbo's. Last cars I'll ever own.

[@ryanbrandt5404]

Just goes to show you. If mazda can make a good quality, reliable car without greedily price gouging you.... so can all the other auto makers.

[@ryanreynolds2967]

Just bought a CX-9. Wish it had better mpg (22-28), but otherwise a nice vehicle. Hopefully it will last nice long time.

[@211sweetypie]

I feel that my 2017 rav4 will carry me for years to come and it only have 43,000 miles as of November 2024. I take care of her so she'll take care of me. I have the base line, no leather seats or bells and whistles and surprisingly, the interior is cheap. Some of the silver paint on my door interior have rubbed off exposing the plastic underneath. My cloth seats are holding up pretty well and I plan on getting leather seat covers. Overall I've never had any major issues with it. I regret buying an extended warranty because I really didn't need it. It was pricey and have since expired.

[@Vincent-ke5zn]

That's a beautiful CX30 especially the interior 😍 👌

[@geovannyl.2801]

Something to know is that Cx-30’s are made in Mexico not in the U.S like Scotty said. The Cx-5 is made in Japan, Cx-50’s are made in Alabama.

[@ninjak38_mjwilson3]

Scotty old but not slow! Epic

[@Thomas-cj9uw]

What I've told people for a number of years now is, if you want to know what car to buy go to a used car dealer and see what cars you don't see their, like say Toyota Camry, are Chevy Impala. So pick any car you want go look and see how many there are at the used car dealerships in your city, if there's a lot of used cars like that you might not want that one? 1:10

[@himynameisryan]

Considering I’m more of a modern high end luxury car buyer and am willing to spend on maintenance, I would much rather a newer Lexus with 4 cylinder hybrid with the later generation of hybrid (4th gen hybrid system is soooo good) assuming budget permits As a majority of reviews and my experience test driving them has stated, the hybrid 4’s in the 4th and 5th gen hybrid system with inline 4s are smoother and quieter than the V6, with no noticeable transition from electric to petrol engine. Yes they are slower, but speed is not why you buy a Lexus

[@surfrby8876]

I learn so much and laugh so much watching these videos , thank you Scotty

[@postedinthecut1565]

[@lkjh00on89]

Wait, this guy paid $14k for a 10 yo RAV4 with 160k miles? That’s the most insane thing I’ve ever heard. Why on earth would you do that? Buy like a 3 yo Subaru crosstrek w 30k miles instead.

[@gw3598]

Exactly what I was thinking. And it wasn't even all wheel drive. I'd love to have a Rav 4 but the price will keep me in my 20111 Camry.

Now are these cars the ones with bad cvt transmission that there was a class action lawsuit for. I just had a infinity qx60 2015 sub as a loaner. All the stuff I read said not worth the risk. A 7000$ trans swap out isn't my cup of tea. Went with a 2015 jeep altitude instead.

Not sure where to ask you a question so I'll try here. I have a 2018 F150 with V8/10. It has the stupid shut off at traffic light. #1 when were on a long highway trip and finally stop at a light the engine doesn't to restart easily sometimes i have to turn it off for 10 seconds then it starts. It almost never has the issue in town. I had replaced the battery with no change. #2 What is the best/easiest way to disable it?

[@alanprice9712]

Usually a button on the dash somewhere to turn it off but you have to do it every time you start the car.

[@jp1087]

I think for that gen, the start/stop disable is buried somewhere deep within the settings menu. You might try looking at your manual or searching a forum for specifics.
