Toyota quality started when Dr. Deming came to Toyota to help with quality. TQMC Total Quality management control. I discovered the same process on my own and found out 20 years later that he beat me to the punch I increased my production by 250% over the years as well as the quality of my work. It's worth looking up TQMC. It can br applied to every aspect of your life. It's not hard to learn and practice.

@@nextleveljourney6612 The TC looked like a loaf of bread on wheels. It's body had absolutely no curve appeal or character so I would be hesitant to believe it's the aesthetic progeny of the Celica. It may have had the same engine, drive train etc as the Celica (I don't know what the TC's had in them), but then, so did the Corolla and others. I've even bought Yaris parts to replace parts on my Celica, and I recently replaced my oem 1zz engine, with a 1zz from a Corolla. So, if Toyota just mix and matches it's library of parts to build their makes and models as they do (which I've discovered through experience) Then my thinking is that the Celica (at least the GT) is mostly about sporty aesthetics more than being the sum of it's constituent parts. The TC looked like a two door loaf of bread. There was nothing sporty looking about it. Now, the GTS Celica had a 2zz Yamaha engine which was a little better than its 1zz counterpart and that engine was also used in the Lotus Evora. So that Celica was sportier, but even with that, the drive train was largely the same except the GTS had rear brake calipurs and rotors.

One of the main reasons I settled on this vehicle was because they are made in Japan. You cannot get better, more consistent build quality or reliability than this. It is such a huge factor when you understand the difference between their cultural mindset regarding individual workmanship standards VS the entitled, North American union employee workers' mindset (even if its' from Toyota), and an abused, third world slave laborer's mindset. Expect excellent reliability, with very little maintenance. Averaging only 4500 miles, 7000 km a year on my daily commute through steep hilly terrain with the odd road trip, I just need an oil change once a year. Had to get the 2018 CX-5 when another driver ran a stop sign and my 2014 CX-5 was written off (still drove perfectly fine after the accident). With the 2014 CX-5, at only 48000 miles (77000 km), I've only ever had to replace the brakes (less than a month before it was written off).

Those Rav-4s were all over the road in Sacramento when we lived there in 2000-2001. Living in central Ohio, our family has always been a Honda family. The second car I ever owned was a first generation '76 Accord. It was wonderful. I'm fixing up my sister's '98 Civic sedan that she left sitting for five years. Those are tough little engines! But I still have my eye on that Subaru Forester Wilderness.

You forgot to mention big problems with oil burning on Toyota models from roughly 2007 to 2011. Probably too old for most people to buy, but it is a big problem. My 2010 Prius burns oil like crazy, has done so since 150,000 miles (now has 220,000). Smog compenants are starting to fail because of soot buildup. Still Toyota is my favorite brand, just something to watch out for.

Just follow some simple rules. What brand/model "old" cars are still on the road. What brand cars you usually see on the freeway shoulder belly-up, or waiting to be towed. Go to the junkyard and see which brand/model cars are fairly new but waiting to be scrapped. Talk to a busy mechanic. Etc. Scotty should mention Lexus (Toyota anyway) and Mercedes (some hiccups, but solid motor and tranny).

For both S1 and S2 RX8s though, they're cars that are meant to be loved by their owners, and as such need owners that love them and care for them.

I love your channel Scotty. Some of the little pictures that pop up in the corner really make me laugh too. I have a 91 Mazda B2200 I bought for parts. It had a blown engine. Later I bought a 1984 B2200 that was smashed up. I took the Mazda/Perkins diesel out of it and put it in the 91. Quite a project. Nice that they have a drain plug on the gas tank. I love that little truck. It's slow and noisy and bumpy and smelly but it just makes me happier when I'm driving it than any other vehicle I own for some reason. Cheap to run too. For electronics it has an alternator and a radio and that's it! I've always wondered if anyone else has done that swap. Maybe it's one of a kind. Maybe not. Ford had the 4.135 (4 cyl. 135 cu.in.) Mazda/Perkins in their little Rangers too.

[@ervinveras1906]

then buy a Subaru. the Subaru company sent a message to all the dealers to stop doing that. kia dealers were doing that before the shortage was in the news. they were doing it because the telluride was so popular that they did not spend a week in the dealer lot. and now they are blaming the shortage. and let me tell you something you do not want to be in the situation that you have to buy a engine for that Telluride.omg. kia sell the vehicle for less but they make it up with the parts.

Turbo's almost always start leaking oil when they age. My 2009 Mazdaspeed 3 did around 90-100k miles. I kept toping off, but was putting off replacing until I finally let it go to long and oil starved the top of the engine. Rule of thumb with any turbo car: losing oil?
