Scotty what is the best used Subaru to buy? And how about the mileage?

[@Terryrouge427]

The guy who’s motor blew was at a sanctioned auto cross even which was part of a membership that Toyota offered with the car. The reason why they didn’t wanna cover it is because they checked his social media and saw him drifting it. But Toyota corporate did the right thing and fixed it. Lesson learned, always scrub stuff that could give them a reason to not cover it. And also, contact corporate if the swine of a dealer declines, even though you didn’t do anything wrong.

[@chrispekel5709]

I had one of those and whilst the engine and gearbox were fantastic the suspension and steering was positively stone aged compared with the 86

[@J.R.F.23]

I have the 2024 BRZ, and I love it. There is another difference between the BRZ & GR86 is the suspension is different. The Toyota version has a suspension tuned more for track; and the Subaru is tuned more for daily driving.

[@ReasonablySane]

I bought a 2013 Scion FR-S new and by March of 2020 I had put 186,000 mi on it on my commute. That car is the most fun I've ever had in any car I've ever owned and it is ridiculously reliable. But in March of 2020, I started working from home and a year later retired, so the only thing I use that car for now, literally is to drive back and forth to church every few weeks to keep the seals from drying out. I put nine sets of Michelin SS on that car and here in Kentucky on these beautiful twisties that I drove to work everyday I did my share of drifting, but the tires are so sticky that most of the time it was a slot car. And I averaged 34 miles per gallon. The reason I keep it is because license and insurance are very inexpensive out here and I believe the car has bottomed out in value. It will only be more valuable as time goes on. So I've become that old guy that has a classic sports car in his garage from when he was younger except I wasn't that young. I was 59 when I bought it. This car Harkins back to the days when my friends and I drove Austin-Healey 3000s, opal gts, mg's, etc. I used to own an opel GT and really love that car, but this is like the opel on stereoids. This is also why when I bought the car I bought it with no options and have kept it 100% stock. In many ways I consider this car to be as much of a classic as the first Corvettes or the Porsche Spyder, or the Toyota 2000. Time is going to be very kind to the first versions of this car. In my opinion. By the way, I did my first brake job at 142,000 mi. There was still pad left. They don't use cops to keep speed down around here. They use deer. Watch for deer in you're golden.

@@Mav86asian I owned an Opel GT in the early 70s. My friends owned mg's and even one owned and Austin Healey 3000. This car is reminiscent of those cars and much more powerful much more roomy and a lot more fun to drive. I've never been into muscle cars would have always been into cars that handle well. And for my 150 mile round trip to Louisville everyday, mostly on the twisties of kentucky, this thing was a blast for years, before I retired, with 186k reliable miles on that car.

[@ReasonablySane]

@SEAsUAS nope.

[@PsychoCPU]

I will say there is slight suspension differences between the 86 and the BRZ that lead them to drive slightly different. The BRZ is a little more compliant and the 86 is a little more solid. Personally I prefer the way the BRZ feels and carries through a corner. The 86 feels more connected, but that also makes it feel a little more jumpy and skittish, whereas the BRZ absorbs a little more road chatter.

[@tails300]

Both the BRZ and GR86 are basically half Toyota half Subaru. The engine is designed by Subaru (but also uses Toyota’s D-4S fuel injection system), and the transmission is made by Toyota/Aisin .

[@HeavyInHawaii]

Yeah, I noticed that. In Scotty's last video he said the trans was Toyota but in this one he implied it's Subaru. I'm pretty sure it's Toyota.

They have different suspension tuning and different ecu tuning, look at the torque/power graphs on the dashes of both cars they actually show torque/power crossover at different points.

[@rustyax7]

P=T*RPM/5252 using lb*ft and HP You do know 85% of all statistics are made up, right? Also scale of the axes, units etc can skew a graph. HP is calculated from torque, which is what a dyno measures. Try taking grade 7 maths again, your teacher failed you

[@ClassicRefuseTrucks]

Drain the oil, and use a borescope (through the drain plug hole), and you may be able to view the pickup tube screen without pulling the pan. Silicone has been used by small engine OEMs for years without issue.

[@thegroundhurts]

You can’t see up the pickup tube unless the pan comes off. Guys have tried it, the tube only sits around 1/4 from the oil pan.

[@shoersa]

Makes sense what atrout481 said. It is on the bottom end of the oil pickup tube which has to be close (1/4 inch) to the bottom of the pan to prevent sucking air instead of oil.

[@jimsgaragetoys]

Scotty, the suspension of the GR86 and BRZ are also different as both Subaru and Toyota tuned the suspension differently. This is why most people say the GR86 is a little better handling.

[@Whereismyname34]

I would drive 10 km. and when I finish the kilometers until empty would go from like 400 to 405. As if someone was adding gas to my car. When I go uphill the reverse is true. When I drive 10 km. the kilometers until empty would go from 400 to 380. The feature is pretty accurate as far as telling U how far you can drive, however.

So Scotty! Found out the silicone is not the issue. It's actually the oil pressure dipping down dramatically, causing oil starvation. There is a baffle plate coming out to help with preventing the oil starvation. It has no oil pan baffle. Which is causing oil to go into the timing chain cover I believe? I'd have to read again and update ya on what I've read. But it's going to eventually be fixed. But RTV is a contributing factor, not the ultimate cause.

I thought scotty knew something I didn’t know…I’m like damn..120mpg…throw the electric Car away lol

[@dljunior2852]

Scotty, I love your horses, eagles and frogs. Entertaining and informative.

[@supersixone9848]

Gimme that knowledge Scotty!

[@jovanni_orb5116]

I was looking at getting the GR86 and now I know more and will be further thinking about my choice and might change my mind.

[@15justt]

Read about the differences in suspension and other things

[@stopsheeping]

Whatever you do, don't forget about the magical car that'll get you 120 mpg!

[@y9a815]

With your hand movement, Scotty, I’m surprised you don’t take off to the skies

[@MrCountrycuz]

My 2014 Acura TSX gets 30mpg at 80 mpg going from Augusta Ga to Atlanta every week! Sometimes 31!

[@suizided]

I want to see Scotty attempt a drift in a RWD.

[@smartazz61]

Do you mean a front wheel drive? I didn't think you could drift in a front wheel drive.

[@xblade1x1x]

love your channel Scotty

[@wayne9848]

I was told the BRZ automatic transmission was made by Toyota

[@thedistinguishedlunatic]

Scotty: Car and Driver said it's under powered (BRZ and G86) Bunk ! What a finely balanced car. I have a V6 2014 Camaro. It too is finely balanced: suspension, power and handling. It doesn't need a V8. O to 60 means nothing to me! Who drag races? The drag racers not me.

[@kirkusmaximus6753]

29 mpg is about the same as 120 mpg.

I am attending Western Technical College in El Paso for Diesel Technologies (medium and heavy duty commercial), there is a student here that has Toyota 86 with an LS swap. The student brings it in from time to time to put it on the dyno.

Hello Scotty from Mooresville NC USA

[@scottykilmer]

afternoon!

[@FM-gv7sb]

Maybe the unusable back seat is there for insurance purposes. Perhaps insurance is cheaper since it is technically not a 2 seater like the Miata. Regardless, i don't mind it. I usually just put stuff like papers, umbrella, etc on the back seat. It looks perfect for mon toy breed dogs. i can put them in the back seat, with a seatbelt, and not worry about them falling into the well. This might be my next car as it is not a turbo and is available with a manual transmission and seems like it will last. Plus the gas mileage is good. I'll be searching your channel to see what you have about the WRX.

[@Dani-it5sy]

In my life every car that I have ever owned that had a catastrophic engine failure was a Subaru. Just mentioning 😉

[@nigerbear2642]

And it was your fault. Hahaha

[@Carlos.Rivera]

on forums some are at 200k miles on their respective clocks

[@Dani-it5sy]

@@Carlos.Rivera Yea they don't all blow up. That would be something. But I assure you. These Subaru engines blow up more often than other Asian brands.

[@EricFortuneJr.]

I’ve seen some 300k mile Subarus that seems to run pretty good for the mileage. Now how about your driving habits??

[@alexfortin7209]

I don’t get the comments on Subaru, I owned: 1) Subaru Impreza 2.2L MT 1999 225,000 miles - never had an issue 2) Subaru Forrester 2.5L AT 2007 200,000 miles - never had an issue 3) Subaru Ascent 2.4K AT 2019 - 30,000 miles - never had an issue We have real winters where I live and they are driven extensively in extreme winter conditions. All maintenance done according to the book at my Subaru dealer (expensive but excellent place). I know at least 3 other long term Subaru owners, all of which are extremely satisfied?!?!

[@Matt_76]

Imagine getting caught in an hailstorm with a ragtop vehicle.

[@frankpaul3204]

This is a fundamental issue with boxer engines. Subaru still haven’t gotten it right yet when it comes to the lubrication of these engines.

[@lucianoosorio5942]

Scotty, what are your thoughts on a Acura csx?

[@amjrpain919]

"Live Free or Die"... Greatest State Motto EVER!

[@WALTERBROADDUS]

Absolutely. The whole playing around the stick thing is overrated.

[@glennso47]

I do.

[@brandtcarroll9316]

I drive a standard Jeep Renegade and I got my average mpg up to 30.6, the previous owner had it at 21. It's all about how you drive.

[@garysgarage.2841]

29 it's not bad. My 22 RT plus Durango will get just under 25 on the highway with cruise just chilling doing 75mph. Mixed I can get close to 17 not great but we don't drive a lot of miles during the week around town a few short trips a day so the fuel last a good about of time and that's with a hemi.

[@ronss1]

lot of people dont know..that toyota owns a huge part of subura...they are subura largest stock owner

[@KuljeetSingh-ou5pt]

Really worthy info mate

[@bensk8in467]

Toyota and Subaru have been sister companies for decades they just never screamed it from a mountain top. Toyota was a 40% shareholder in Subaru last I heard and that was a long time ago. They swap engineering all the time Camrys were using their AWD 30 plus years ago. Subaru is the king of AWD. Hey even GM borrowed from them. An 80’s Nova was a rebadged Camry and a Geo Prism was a rebadged Corolla. The Vibe a Matrix. Subbing out for something reliable 😂.

[@mrfriz4091]

Scotty, check with the silicone manufacturer. Ford and many other brands have used silicone to seal the valve cover for many years. As long as the silicone cures completely there should be no silicone in the oil or fuel system.

[@glennbarnette6659]

Afternoon, Scotty!

[@ashleyholloway1370]

I just averaged 34mpg (4.5L) / 12.5km per Liter- on 6116Km trip in Toyota Sienna.
