The 04 honda odyssey was actually known for good cam quality and transmission from what I read, even though i noticed the infamous 3rd gear shutter like that cr-v Scott has reviewed. Then a brand new resigned model rolls out in 05

[@markkoons7488]

Because I'd lived in Japan for a couple years more than 50 years ago and drive a couple Toyotas each with high miles on them I was especially receptive when another Toyota driver at the gas pump said, "You know why Japanese Toyotas are better throughout? Because everyone involved believes it would be dishonorable to do less than a perfect job."

[@markkoons7488]

That was my experience of the Japanese in relation to their work in the 1960s. In fact, Japan had, and I assume still has, a set of laws addressing professional responsibility. Essentially, if you are paid to do a job you are a professional and are personally liable for your work. I look around at the half-assed work we sometimes pay for here and think somebody ought to go to be jailed and forfeit their personal assets to compensate their victims.

@@TragickSin I’ve had no issues with the transmission. It is a CVT like Scotty said I the video. It’s the first CVT I’ve owned.

My wife and I bought her a 2020 XLE C-HR. It was made in Japan. She loves it, except for the slow take off. I have no earthly idea what Scotty is talking about with the launch gear. From a dead stop, this thing is slower than molasses flowing uphill on a sub-zero day, but once you get going, it accelerates just fine. It handles like a dream, too. Seriously, this thing can corner like a sports car and is smoother than butter on the road.

[@fingling8]

Good review, Scotty. I always enjoy yours. I won't say it's a great-looking vehicle, but it's not boring. (I think that big under-cladding is ugly, though I'm sure it's to protect the paint.) TBH, I think what some folks call dull makes some cars look classy ... such as the Camry a couple generations back. Or the 1994-6 era 4Runner, which I think is gorgeous, sedate. I did like the interior here and I like that you pointed out things I hadn't heard--the CVT's quality, the great seats. Some complain that the rear seats are hard for kids to see out, and folks should be aware they're FWD only.

I don’t mean to turn anyone off but I work for toyota and I see these at the service center all the time for transmission issues, typically the mileage is anywhere from 55k to 80k. I was hoping Toyotas version of the CVT would be it, but sadly it’s not. We currently have 4 CHRs in the service with transmission issues, but the good news is that the they hold their trade in value very well.

[@sharon6571]

I'm so excited you reviewed the C-HR. I just bought one in October and I love it! And I bought a Toyota because I've been watching your videos Scotty. I had a 2018 Ford EcoSport and I liked it okay, but it was already coming apart in a couple of areas in the dashboard and it road like a bucket of bolts. I had driven a 2006 Ford Fusion for 12 years before that and loved it, so went back to Ford for that reason. I was just excited to get the new technology in a car and bought the EcoSport on the spot! But as the story goes, regretted it a bit as time went on. I was thinking of trading or selling and was watching car videos when I came across you. So glad I did! I was able to sell my EcoSport for more than I owed and turned around and bought the C-HR. I had never seen one before and fell in love. My husband went over it with a fine toothed comb and said "buy it." So I did! Loving it!! Thanks Scotty! Now I'm hooked on your videos and believe I will be a Toyota customer from now on. Oh, and by the way, welcome to Tennessee! We live in Columbia, just south of Nashville, so not too far from you!

[@moeanthony9308]

Wow so the eco sport was that bad huh.

[@sharon6571]

@@moeanthony9308 Well, bucket of bolts is probably unfair. It was fine around town and I liked the size of it. Horrible on the highway though, and that's where the "bucket of bolts" comes in. Lol! But the quality of the C-HR is so much better for the same price. Also, I averaged 19 MPG around town in the EcoSport and with the C-HR, even not broken in yet, I am getting 25 to 26 in town. So the difference all around in quality of the build and mpg is pretty drastic to me, for vehicles in the same category and price range.

[@darrenskjoelsvold]

Everytime Scotty talks about Kias I wonder if I have just been really Lucky. My Forte from 2010 has nearly 180,000 miles on it and it's still doing well. I change oil religiously and drive it conservatively but this thing is doing great. It gets great gas mileage and has been a reliable car since I got it with only 14000 miles on it 8 years ago. I drive a lot because of what I do but it's a comfortable car that gets me from point A to point B.

[@sejembalm]

7:56 "Play rival insurance companies against each other." Absolutely! I have a clean record with no claims for decades (except when I accidentally hit a deer running across a freeway at 11:00 PM, but I told my insurance in that incident that I cannot be held liable for the criminal acts of a third party-- that maniac deer was suicidal!), so whenever my insurance company raises my rates, I get quotes from other insurance companies and tell my swine carrier to beat their competitor's rates or I'm dropping their coverage.

[@bigbosskingpingeorge]

Hey Scotty, I just bought this car and Love it.

[@EMichaelBall]

I'm surprised a Japan built one was found in the US. I thought all US-spec C-HR's were built in Turkey.

[@vicp8772]

I was under the impression it came from Turkey, and for this reason I say no thanks. Do some research on the history of turkeys rulers. Maybe 2020 went back to Japan, happy to hear.

[@diehappy3997]

Glad they made it better. 2017 model was super cramped in the front and rear. When you had a normal 6 foot person in front driver seat, it was difficult to get my feet into the back seat and my head would hit the ceiling. Also demand for those cars in California was so high, the base sticker price started at $21,995 back then.

Hey Scotty, been a fan for a while. I bought 2018 CH-R in November. 20k at 11,000 miles. I absolutely love it, rides great and it launches when you want it to. I live it! Hope to keep it for a ling time!

I’ve just bought a Toyota ch-r. I used to drive a Lincoln LS (also a hidden gem of a car) back in the early 2000s. All I have to say is the CH-r sort of reminds me of my LS, it makes me feel like my old self when I drive it.

[@vincenewian7004]

Scotty, I'm confused. All I hear about is that the CHR has NO acceleration and it's a strain passing cars on the highway. Could you elaborate on this a bit further? Thanks from Toronto!

[@billlee270]

Put it on sport mode. It accelerates like crazy 🤪. I have one.

[@Mroctopus2988]

Not only that, it has one of the worst transmissions Toyota has ever made. The 2018 models were notorious for going out.

[@sammyt3514]

Gotta disagree with Scotty about the C-HR being 'zippy'; I like how they look so I test drove one but was shocked how slow they were, even compared to my ancient Corolla! I would go as far as say they're dangerously slow if you're getting on the highway using a short on-ramp! Most tests I saw bear this out and indicate a 0-60 time in the 11 second range, which is painfully slow. Hope Toyota gives it the hybrid powertrain that the Lexus version of the same platform (i.e. the Lexus UX) has, which would also give it AWD and make it, by far, the pick of the sub-compact SUV category imo.

[@lukeywalsh]

Test drive a 2019 or later Corolla Hatchback. 169HP. Same TNGA-C platform as the UX.

Always enjoy your videos Scotty! We get the CH-R here in the UK. but they're only available with hybrid engines (1.8 & 2.0 ltr). You're lucky in the US that you can just get a petrol (gasoline) engine. Apart from the small city cars, most new UK Toyotas are hybrid only now (Yaris, Corolla, Camry, CH-R). We are due to get the Highlander here in 2021; again it's hybrid only though.
