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.

​@@joepearlzz8504 Since early 2017, I've owned both a 2014, and now currently a 2018 CX-5 (since last year), with both being the GX/Sport trim with manual transmission, non-turbo 2.0 L Skyactiv engine. 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).

Like the rav 4 hse i think it is, and the trd model, look really nice. toyota also just released this year in the u.s. the venza, which i think rivals any luxury brands and it shares the same platform and motor as the rav 4.

@@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.

Granted some company brands make crappy transmission but not ever transmission they make ends up messing up. I've noticed it only happens when the owner isn't maintaining service on the vehicle and sadly it's mostly young people. Please make sure you do your maintenance in time or as soon as possible, it can prevent accidents and it can prevent you from buying a new motor, transmission or another car

It’s awesome to see Mazda made the list love their current lineup.

[@brucemorris3830]

It’s a pity they’ve dropped the manual in everything except the MX-5 and the 3 hatchback; but I test drove a CX-5 automatic and I gotta say Mazda makes a VERY GOOD automatic transmission these days. (I still bought the stick shift, though, because to me Mazda = stick shift)

[@killerskillet]

I absolutely LOVE my 2013 Miata NC Club. After spending a year and a half looking at the Porsche Boxster, Toyobaru, Camaro, Lotus Elise, Mustang... basically anything they'd let me drive... the Miata was the pick of the litter. I feel guilty with how little maintenance I need to do to it. Change the fluids, and she roars to life without a hitch. I say that "people don't believe me when I put my turn signal on", meaning the thing rides like it's on rails.

[@fernandoduartemolina]

Yes, here I own a 2002 Honda Civic EX and a 2008 Honda Civic EX, 20 years old and 14 years old car respectively and they still take me to the places I need to go. I own them since they were new, very careful with maintenance and I LOVE them.

I guess maybe I just had a bad one because it burnt me on Mazda. I had a CX nine transmission had to be replaced 65,000 miles. The top half of the engine failed had to be replaced at the same exact time because coolant was found. They said the only solution was replace top half of the engine, so for me no more Mazda’s and I know other people who’s had the same issue especially transmission

[@marymcmann9546]

I had a Mazda GLC in the 70’s. It was a “great little car” for zipping around LA. I think I only paid $3500 new for it. I loved that car. After 8 years with no problems I traded it for a 626 which I loved too. They weren’t race cars but were very economical to drive and reliable.

[@johnnelson5083]

My brother bought one when he was stationed at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii and 4 years later had it shipped home when he left active duty. In Hawaii cars rust from the top down, in Illinois they rust from the bottom up. That car became a total mess after about 8 years, but this was in the 70's when cars rusted like crazy.

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.

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.

They may not even make it in the next few decade if they are not innovating and going all electric Toyota is dreaming 2040 and so the others. I leased a Tesla model 3 and it i much much cheaper than Camry or any of these cars in term of tech, maintenance and luxury. I will never drive a car ICE car. by the way Ev's are much much better cooler, sexier and getting much cheaper to own. these companies may die out.

GM, Ford, Nissan and Chrysler can sell their bad quality vehicles, further damage their reputations and lose money but each should produce and sell at least one basic vehicle that is durable, tough and cheap. And how can they achieve this? Engineer it for value and toughness. Use off the shelf, bullet proof drive train components for starters. Will they do this? Of course not, unless their is a change in mindset.

[@acetomatocompany]

Scotty, I love your channel. But I drove a tow truck for many years, and yes, Japanese cars their engines will run forever (unless the timing belt breaks) however, they would out last the bodies. Japanese car bodies would rust out too quickly for me. My experience in towing, only the Japanese cars broke in half from a collision. Not too cool. But keep up the good work. 👍👍

[@nathanlambshead4778]

Went to a KIA dealer to see a SUV. The salesman showed me that I would have to pay a $5,000 additional "Market Upgrade" fee because of the semi-conductor shortage. On top of a $33,000 MSRP, this was a deal breaker. Must be with the rest of Auto-makers. Maybe if you buy last year's model, there is no such "fee".

[@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.
