Scotty is every car manufacturers kryptonite lol

[@jamespastore3597]

I have owned several cars in my lifetime at 73. Still have 16 of them. But I have found out that it isn't always a car manufacturer that have problems with their vehicles. I believe 60%-70% of the time, or more, that it's how the owners maintain and how they drive their cars, that determines how trouble free a car will be.

[@davidperry4013]

Having an engine misfire for too long will destroy catalytic converters

[@ViolentMLG]

I think the question is less about how reliable is a car when its maintained, and more about how reliable is a car when its neglected. Buying used, you can't know 100%, most also don't want to have to spend thousands maintaining a car, as most people buying economy cars truthfully can barely afford the cars they own, nor do they know what to even do with cars. You also just have simple design issues and quality control issues that lack with some brands, and you can't 'maintain' that. Case and point, Cadillac's old Northstar engines, until 06, they were complete garbage, and even AFTER 06 they were blowing headgaskets, more rarely and prematurely under warranty, but still happened. Quality control also plays a factor, what is the likelihood your car was built correctly and up to a standard? Toyota/Honda have higher QC, therefore, they have a higher standard, therefore, you're less likely to get a 'bad' car. Though I generally agree, I think the Toyota tax, especially right now, is absurd, 20 year old Toyota's going for 5K-6K, its not worth it, all cars break, even Toyota's, even if its less likely.

[@Ehadassa62]

I do agree with what you said....but: can I ask you were do you maintain your cars? do you go to the dealership or to a shop? I believe some dealership mechanics and independent mechanic shops purposely damage a vehicle once the power-train warranty is over...what is your opinion? and who to trust?

[@metalmike570]

Bingo!

[@lisat9707]

Honestly its 50/50. After watching scottys many videos allot of the issues i keep seeing on these older vehicals have no preventative maintenance that would affect it.

[@DrForbin001]

Scotty I have a 2003 Toyota Sequoia with 348k on it and I'm the original owner. It is by far the best buying decision I have ever made. Twenty-five years ago I would have never bought a Japanese car. The last America I owned was a 99 Grand Cherokee with the inline 6, nice engine but the rest of the mechanicals on that car were total crap. After six years of ownership it was an endless money pit. I even went to work at a dealer that sold the newer versions of that car, what a nightmare. My wife driven the Sequoia for 10 years before I got to use it regularly. Scotty, I must say it's a shame that domestic car companies are so short sighted and do not respect the customer by offering a good product that last. The Japanese has taken years to build a quality reputation for which Honda and Toyota continue today. Thank you for your good work and informative videos.

I love our Subaru Foresters. I have a '99, hubs has a 2000. Both are automatic and well over 200K miles, and were when we bought them used within the last 2 years. I paid $1000 for my '99; he paid $800 for his, which is even a sports model. We drive them everywhere. This is my 2nd Subaru. My first was a '98 Legacy Sport, Canadian, manual shift. I had it for about five years when it finally rusted beyond repair; sold it for the engine. After that I had a '98 Honda CRV and loved that baby! Unfortunately, the shop that replaced the transmission did NOT use genuine Honda fluid in it and it ruined the engine after a couple of years. But, we had it almost five years before trading it in and got $1000 on the trade. Way back in the day I had a '79 Toyota Celica and then an '81 Celica; both manual shift and loved them both. I was also looking for a used RAV4 when we bought my '99 Forester, but if a RAV4 had come up first, I'd have bought one.

Happy Veteran's Day sir! To you and your family. And thank you! I can agree, I've owned many Nissan's in my day the worst being my 02 Altima V6, Burned out main computer due to faulty motor mounts, cat's worn out at around 142k and had to replace oil pan due to rust in addition to the coolant line. Don't get me started on the spark plug change! After my '94 Sentra, they're truly not the same any more. My old '88 Camry is like new yet!

[@ph8632]

I had an 88 camry. Great car that never left me stranded, but finally sold it to get a newer toyota.

My Civic 2017 sports manual still going strong more than 7 years now. Great car, the only thing complaint no volume knob and phone storage. Thanks for a great video Scott.

[@drakeweddner]

Scotty, i love your videos and you are the by far the nicest mechanic and one of the coolest people iv happened across, thank you for existing

I used to drive 135 miles a day to work in Chicago from Wisconsin. I had 2 Chevy Prizms ( they had Toyota engines and transmissions ) not one of them got over 140,000 miles and had major problems after 100,00 miles. I have a 2013 Kia Rio with 220,000 miles I am retired now but still drive it. It has had 3 sets of brakes a battery a belt and a alternator. Also 3 sets of tires and of course oil changes. I don't know how much longer it will go but it runs.

As an autozoner i take greatpride in hearing our company mentioned by scotty!

[@meaculpamishegas]

I got my 09 accord 2.4 by some awesome stroke of luck a year after the beginning of the pandemic for $4300 and it only had 142,500 on it. I ran some cat cleaner through it, put on new struts myself for $300, and new goodyears for $375. Even after all the improvements I am still well under the costs of these cars. I swear it accelerates as fast as the civic sport he drives. I feel better off 😏

[@troyjhinkle]

Hi Scotty, my son has a 2005 Maxima and with over a 150k miles on the one you showed, I would have expected that they have already replaced the timing chain. We had to recently do that for his car. Running great after that, but you are spot on with A/C. Changed that earlier this year on his. He replaced about 135k. However, with the cost of cars now with all the shortages, it would be impossible to replace with a car that performs like his for less than the repairs.

[@noahrutan8485]

I have a toyota corolla and absolutely love it but man do I miss my 2003 Lexus is200 and some times wish I was still driving it.

[@Mike81111]

I have 2001 Maxima with over 185000 miles on it. It has passed every safety inspection here in Finland where those inspections are brutal to pass. It has been reliable car, but now one of the cats are going bad.

07' Xterra here. Bought it almost year ago. The suspension was shot but put new Bilsteins and AAL. Manual 4x4s are hard to come by Nissan seems good if you're willing to put some money into it

I think that it can sometimes depend on the model more than the make, though I’ve had Nissans of various models that were clunkers so I’m completely sour on Nissan. I currently have a Kia Forte but it’s a basic vehicle with a six speed manual transmission. It sounds like their reach may have exceeded their grasp with that Optima hybrid, but manual transmissions with simple builds tend to last longer in general, Nissans notwithstanding.

[@gregsheffey5191]

I've owned both Toyotas and Hondas in the past, but Nissans are by far the biggest POSs I've ever owned. The 2017 Awd Japanese made rogue with CVT, is the ultimate worst decision I've ever made in a Japanese car!!!

[@Kr0n3kLe]

Nissan is crap lol. Honda trustworthy

[@gildardolujan1143]

Well I owed a 2000 Nissan pickup never had trouble and a 2009 exterra never had problem with it so Nissan are good you just have to know witch one to buy

Great videos, and like the random images, good comedic touch 😁

[@randymartin9876]

1 Toyota 2. Lexus V6 3. Honda Civic 4. Acura 5. Subaru 6. Kia 7. Nissan

[@komradkolonel]

I think the thing that brings Nissan down is that Jatco CVT. Their engines aren't nearly as good as Toyota or Honda anymore but they are at least somewhat better than a Hyundai/Kia. It seems most Hyundai or Kia engines when they get above 80,000 miles start getting loud valve clacking, oil burning, or head gasket blowing.

[@hitman74]

Because customers don't service there vehicles

[@adamdean5881]

My 05 Elantra never had this issue. Rust damage to the body is what killed it after 14 years of driving in the snow. But I take care of my vehicles

[@fil1329]

I've had 3 hyundais The small 1.6 alpha and 2 liter beta engines are great 👍 I hot 1 kia great vehicle Cheaper to buy too Simple but works good.....8 change my oil and do my timing belts myself and never had a problem

[@tonyv3451]

This upload was really awesome!!!!!!Thank you for you knowledge and wisdom Scotty!!!!!!!

[@robertm5969]

I got a 06 Infiniti (Nissan) G35. Overall it's been solid for me, but a few parts here and there went bad: 2 wheel bearings and 1 window motor. It goes through oil (bad piston rings) but the engine will last if you keep it topped up. Not as reliable as our Civic, but a fun and reasonably priced sports coupe.

[@davidleekalbjr.3035]

I just want a "valtswaggan, Beatle". Indestructible! Why!? Did they try to fix, something? It was basically, a motorcycle, in a car format. Air cooled. Lawn mower, is air cooled!

Fantastic review Scotty, I did not know about the Acura ILX. Great car. Thank you

[@mattweimer14]

I have a 2012 Altima with the same 3.5L V6 with over 240,000 miles with the exact same issues as the 2007 Maxima in this video. Scotty knows his stuff. Thankfully South Carolina has no emissions requirements either.

[@johncitizen3927]

[@yime6631]

Wow. Impressive.

[@ssjMaximum22Goku]

Most Nissan's that don't have the CVT are great. Scotty rarely mentions those. Their trucks and SUV's (r51 Pathfinder's and prior models) are excellent.

[@celizabethteal1444]

Yeah, no CVT tranny for me

My dad was an auctioneer and sold sales all over the US, so he spent a lot of time on the road (60 years ago). He bought big high-end business sedans; Buicks, Lincolns, Cadillacs, Mercurys, etc.. When they hit 50K, he was looking to trade because at 70-80K, they were considered worn out.

[@garthg.6150]

I had 2 GM cars in the 80’s. Both wore out at 120k. I won’t buy another one.

[@biggyboodles6458]

Love 2007 Honda civic hybrid, had around 35k on it when purchased in 2010...I'm sitting at 204k miles....only extra maintenance that I paid to have done was the 8 plugs changed out at 191k, and 2 O2 sensors....I've done the brake and oil changes myself as it's basically the same as my 2001 was, just way smaller engine and it's brakes last forever! 🤞

[@erniecarrasco9107]

I have the 2008 Civic Hybrid. Do you change transmission fluid?

[@longpipegang]

WRONG. My family had a 2007 maxima and didn’t need 3 cats. We just needed a transmission rebuild, new motor mounts all around, new power steering hose, new passenger door handle mechanism, wheel well fell off while it was parked and took out the splash guard and rocker panels. My butt was very heated though, so I never understood why we donated it to charity.
