0-60 in 7 seconds or less is slow? An SUV not able to handle like a sports car is somehow the fault of the SUV? Getting the same fuel mileage as the sports car and V6 sedans is bad? Come out from the rock you're been living under since 1988. No one with a brain wants those shitbox econo cars, no one with a brain is going to fit 5 people in them either, no one with a brain is going to get a cramped sedan and stuff 5 people in there. The reason that trucks and SUVs make up 60% of the sales in NORTH AMERICA is because of the space and room for 4+ people, ability to haul a load at the same time, and ability to tow something, like your little shitbox econo car when it keeps breaking down.

You can easily change most of the lights on your car (including interior) from regular to LEDs by changing the bulb, except the turn signals because they blink. As Scotty says, you have to adjust the wiring. Someone posted a video changing all the lights on LED on a 2018 Corolla (which comes with LED taillights and headlights)

Hey Scotty! I changed my differential in my Ridgeline last week. I wondered why there was some old seepage around one axle and was a bit worried.

[@boomerguy9935]

I bought a new 1999 Honda CR-V and eventually gave it to my daughter. It was running great for a couple hundred thousand miles when she totaled trying to avoid wildlife on the road. That little AWD SUV was unbreakable (well, the drivetrain was still running great at the time of its demise) and it reminded me of a Willys Jeep. I treated it like a rented mule, drove it through snow and ice higher than the bumpers, overloaded it with passengers and sporting gear, drove it in extreme heat and cold and it just begged for more. The secret to keeping the rear differential running forever is to change the special Honda fluid twice as much as the owner's manual says to. In this case, instead of 60K mile intervals, do it at 30K intervals. I did this and it wasn't expensive; it only holds a quart. Never, ever gave me a problem. What do I have in the driveway now? A 5-speed manual 2006 Honda Element for with AWD for myself and a CVT automatic 2017 Honda HR-V with AWD. We live on a steep hill and get heavy snows in the winter, so they are for function and not fashion, and the AWD works great. I still change the Honda rear diff fluid @ 30K mile intervals.

[@danr4316]

That is partially true, but not totally. From a new car example, say 20 people bought the same exact new car. Same options, engine and all are driven in the same manner. 15 would have no problems and five would have 50 problems after six months. Some vehicles just have problems from the beginning, which has nothing to do with how it's driven. In short, just because you have a vehicle with no problems, doesn't mean 10,000 other people have zero problems as well.

Just purchased a 2020 Toyota Highlander SUV. Very happy with my decision!

Hey Scotty! I’m looking for a new car for my family, so I want something that’s safe and durable. Im considering at a new Subaru Crosstrek. I like the all wheel drive for snow. It’s not a bulky SUV, but still has lots of room and trunk space. And I’m told Subarus last forever. What are your thoughts?

[@idkwhtimduin]

I got a used 2014 subaru outback. Bought it at 70k now has 94k runs smooth and well just finished doing all fluid changes too and it runs like brand new. You can feel the difference after getting all the fluid changes I got it for the same reasons u have. I was side swiped and I didnt know I was hit I thought I drove over a speed bump. And it's so much room for camping and road trips, I love to drive it!

[@bcggreg2783]

Scotty is definitely not telling you that Subarus last forever!!! Hahaha

Hi Scotty I have a Dodge Dakota 2007 SLT four-wheel-drive and is drives but it won’t go in reverse I can’t back up but there’s a drive normal but I can’t back up what do you think the problem is

[@hernymejias]

Scotty! I put those in line resistors like the ones on the image you show, now the turn signal and flasher stop working. Already check the fuse, changed the flasher relay and turn signal switch. 2004 Grand Cherokee

[@stephenarling1667]

A resistor needs to be added in parallel with the LED bulb, not in series. From your description, it sounds like you wired in series.

[@fishharvester9434]

Scotty I got a Mazda cx 7 the lower beams don't work they have those HID lights and I ordered those from rock auto. But when I took the left one off water came out of the socket and the new ones don't work either checked the fuses and relay and they are both good. What can I do.

[@shameema760]

Yesterday, I accidentally dropped my OBD scanner through the hole below the OBD scanner port. It landed near the gearbox lever which I can see. I tried to put my hand inside but I can't pass through. Please advise me what to remove to take it back?? I removed some of the parts from the gear panel. still, I'm not sure what else to remove??

[@mrki412]

Best option is to buy 1994' Toyota Celica.

[@TheNatalietamburello]

Help- I will be purchasing a car in October. I am a single female with five grandchildren- the three older teens are with me every weekend & the two year old lived with me. I wanted an SUV for the size however you make a lot of sense. What would you recommend? I would really appreciate your input. Looking to spend -as little as possible but up to 10,000- 15,000 ish. Thank you

Hey scotty i have a 2016 highlander with 40,000 miles at what mileage should I change the differential fluid

[@miladanki8380]

What do you think about the Toyota 4Runner of all gens? Which one is the best model?

[@georgebl6501]

Hello scotty, i have a 2005 odyssey, the car runs ok, but if i drive it for more than one hour at once the transmission starts to act up, hard shift and slip, i sent it to the shop, the mechanic found nothing, another mechanic wanted to re build the trans, i found a video on you tube and the guy had the same problem, and he replaced the oil, and the solenoids for second and fourth gears, problem went away, in my case did the same for a wile, but now it came back, so i took the van back to the mechanic, he recomended to fkush the computer, have you seen this problem, and can you give me some advice on repais or dignostic, i am too broke for the dealer, and have not had any luck on finding a good mechanic that wont try to take me for a ride, rhank you.

What's the best budget vehicle for more safely driving in the snow?

Scotty i have a 2008 Nissan bluebird Sylphy, the check engine is on and it won’t shift into 3rd or higher, i think it’s In limp mode

Hi Scotty I have a 2014 Toyota Corolla L that has 64,000. Should I do a tune up or wait for a 100,000 miles. I'm the 4th owner.

[@md2k8]

For $10,000 or less, I can get a 2012 Hyundai Tucson GLS AWD crossover with the 2.4 L four-cylinder engine, which produces 176 horsepower and the six-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift capability. For $5,000 or less, I can get a 2005 Chevrolet Malibu LT V6 sedan with the 3.5 L V6 engine, which produces 201 horsepower and the four-speed automatic transmission, also with manual-shift capability. These are one of my favourite vehicles to own for the first time, because they both have the same gas mileage, compared to other vehicles. Also, they are both reliable and fuel-efficient. Not bad.

[@helixgaming5742]

just wondering if i want to fix up a datsun 240z or something similar, how is avalibilty of parts for those cars.

[@penvon]

There are parts available,just join one of their forums,owners are always willing to help other members & usually have parts for sale.

[@Miscreatixn117]

You tell em Scotty! Make sure every Automobile manufacturer discontinues ALL production of anymore SUV of any kind. Make a video of them agreeing to that.

SUV's typically do not handle as well as a sedan. Gas mileage is worse as well. I'll stay with my 2016 Honda Accord LX. It will run forever.

[@mets12100]

Sedans can’t handle snow like SUVs can, that’s why I have one in NY because it snows a lot in the winter

[@mrgarrison3516]

Old Toyota & Honda sedans are best for 'entry level' car buyers 👍

[@koushiro86]

My folks got me a ‘98 Corolla in 2006 and I had it for 13 years. It’s still on the road after I sold it and it got a couple repairs. I got a 2016 Scion iM last year which is basically a Corolla Hatchback and it’s a nice little car with all the modern stuff and plenty of room inside, and it drives sporty, too! What more could you want?

[@mcamodell]

I would put Suzuki and pre1998 Mazda in that category as well. I know Scotty hates Suzuki but I would put a Reno, Aerio or SX4 up against any Honda

[@realnapster1522]

Civic and Accord are vest sedans out there. Especially Accord for better ride. They are better than Toyota sedans because of better handling and better visibility.
