In case this is your first Scotty Kilmer video, a summary of the video is this: Scotty doesn't like CVT transmissions

[@davekeller2798]

I don't blame him

[@TheAnnoyingBoss]

I dont either. Listen even nissans crap cvt we own one of them its not that bad i just dont trust it to last 500,000 miles. I think the car will make it to 100,000. Beyond possibly. Although ive seen some people take some jumk cars pretty far i kean listen their is still model t rolling around they wouldnt be here today without spending some money. Its a tough game today you look at the nissan is has a bad trans who knows how long it lasts bitnits also a naturally aspirated 4 banger so you never know how things work out. And it also depends on what the budget youre working with. Every car in my house has different amounts of money we are willing to throw at them so sometimes it makes sense. In one car a trans job might not he that bad of a job compared to what it would cost to deal with something like an f150 ten speed. I like affordable hondas and toyotas but these days im less impressed because the various different additions over the years and regulations I think it has make the vehicles cost more but have a lower average quality. We used to have an f150 and thatnthing was impressive in some ways but dissapointed me in others. Same with the hondas and toyotas. Even toyotas i can show you deep in its loins the spots toyota is scared of you finding out about. No vehicle is perfect. I have a motorcycle endorsement so ill usually buy a motorcycle because to me things like kawasaki klx300 gives a lot more oppprtunities in terms of howni spend my free time inbetween tasks on the daily.

[@barrelrush]

A little minor addition Honda's eCVT isn't actually a transmission, there's no gearbox nor belt, it is actually, JUST the electric motor The gas/petroleum engine only connects to the wheels via 6th gear at very rare instances (usually highway speeds) So the electric motor isn't really there to "boost" it, it's doing the bulk of the driving!

[@anonymissed3611]

So more straight electric with a gas overdrive.

[@grants169]

Help me understand. What was happening when Scotty floored it off the line? He complimented the engine sounds. That's a direct connect from engine to wheels? I need to readup on them.

[@joekickass2819]

Also it’s not really dual exhaust. It has 2 finishers but only 1 output

[@dundundata7603]

There is a good video online where someone takes apart the entire "transmission" housing the electric motors, rather interesting.

[@BigBear--]

The engine mostly acts as a generator to recharge the battery pack. The engine is not directly connected to the wheels 95% of the time. There are 2 clutch packs that CAN connect the engine to the wheels in more specialty situations, either at very low speed for added torque, or at higher highway speeds for added power/speed. Most of the time it's the main electric 180 HP Drive Motor that is driving the wheels directly. Honda calls it an E-CVT, just for marketing so as to not overly confuse the customer. It's not an actual CVT however, there are no belts or pulleys. Which is why the car feels so much more responsive and quick than something like the Rav4. In a Rav4 all power (gas and electric) flows through a regular belt and pulley CVT. Nothing is directly linked to the wheels like the Honda.

I bought the ‘24 Touring hybrid and I love this car. Comfortable, quiet, just a sweet car. Only thing that bothered me is no fog lights, but, getting used to that. Absolutely no regrets. And the Touring has leather trimmed seats. So comfortable. Went thru a drive thru yesterday and the guy at the window commented how quiet the car was. Just love her!

[@mark1nyc]

Fog lights are only for cosmetics. I have a 22 accord with fog lights, and with fog lights on or off don’t make a difference. Mainly because led headlights are good enough. If we get HID fog lights, then that would be something to consider.

[@kathyvanaernam4437]

Agree to disagree. I do a lot of night driving and they did help. I do miss them. Hopefully they’ll come back on the next models!

[@kenandbarbie-b6c]

The things I find annoying with the new Honda CRV hybrid is that progress is sometimes regressive: 1. No spare tire. I’ve owned 4 Honda CRVs & they all had a flat tire at least once where the spare tire saved a lot of time & added safety. Why should an SUV lack a spare tire? Safety issue. 2. The rear seats self fold with the pull of a single handle. Done away with the new hybrid. 3. No fog lights like my 2012 CRV. This helped by minimizing tunnel illumination on unlit roads. It’s nice to better visualize the edge of the road, another safety issue. 4. I wish they would return with the Honda CRV picnic table. This would cause a lot of jaw dropping at picnics & Honda got some free advertising.

[@ofcbob6391]

The handle pulls to let the seatbacks down is gone from ANY trim in the new CRV's. And once they are down, huge hump to get over if you're pushing something longish in from the back....really dumb and regressive, as you said.

I can sell it for more than I paid with the additional 45K miles I put on it in today's market. Honda CVTs are another breed. I was a little hesitant at first, but I change the transmission fluid every 30k and it is humming along smoothly. I have seen some for sale with 280K miles on them and still asking $10k. My old Subaru Outback blew 2 head gaskets within 80k miles so I went back to Honda.

[@waimeaguyz9074]

I like gears too. My 04 malibu has 279,000 and will outrun many cars. This motor was great at 200,000. Minor repairs, water pump, battery, and alternator. I like your review on the honda hrv. Simple design, basic maintenance. That's all I want. I'm getting a Toyota Avalon since seeing your video. I would like a honda hrv though.

[@KeebaAfrica]

Honda has been experimenting with this for over a decade! Hybrids are the blend of two worlds. makes more sense than a Full EV

[@zoranm6432]

I’ve got the 2023 Camry Hybrid which has a 2.5lt Atkinson cycle engine, along with the electric motor the torque they produce when both are driving the wheels is fantastic, there is plenty of torque at pretty much any speed to overtake if needed and the fuel mileage is marvellous.

[@johnsteele8073]

Theres NO CVT transmission. Its runs all electric up to a certain speed then the gas takes over via some sort of direct drive no gear changes.

[@garydmercer]

I found out that Honda cars were crap years ago when I bought a Honda fit and within 6 months, the front driver carpeting wore out and there was a hole in the carpet! When I contacted Honda for a warranty repair, they told me it was normal wear and tear.. WTF. They would not replace the shitty carpeting in a six month old Honda fit. The carpeting was paper thin. CRAP. That is when I told Honda----You have lost my business. This is the 4 Honda I've bought and the very last one. Goodbye. Never looked back. You are right. Honda's are crap.

[@jaysmith179]

My new 2023 Honda Civic already has a recall for replacing the steering system. Sucks, Car has 300 miles on it. Lots of green trees for it being winter.

[@renkhachatoorian302]

If you drive a car with manual transmission, never try to harm anything of it. It is supposed to last forever. No need for hybrid.

[@kevinfernando3167]

The oil dilution issues are insane and Honda’s not making an recalls or admitting the issue.

[@Winterstick549]

That's only on the 1.5 turbo. They have improved, but I'd stick with the 2.0 non turbo.

[@nmh5001]

The CVTs rev high to keep the engine in the power band when you're stomping on it. It's not slipping. It's just a weak engine in a heavy car.

[@bokz4482]

Scotty's voice is so unique and easily recognized that he can voice over stuff in Nat Geo, funny version. But they gotta show him with all his hand gestures to make it iconic, he can easily conduct an orchestra performance with all that.

The crv hybrid engine is 2.0. Not a turbo.

[@frankm7707]

He meant the sister model which is a turbo

I have a 2001 ford escape xlt with just under 134k miles on it. It looks and runs great. I can do 90% of the repairs on it myself and parts are plentiful and cheaper. It's my baby

[@michaelsprinzeles4022]

220 kph is about 150mph. I can't see a CRV doing anything close to that. I've been driving an 05 Subaru for over 10 years. In that time the only added expense caused by AWD was having to replace all 4 tires after a flat, once. In that time my turbo only cost me because I modded the car to take better advantage of it. Problems with AWD & turbos are over hyped.

[@bobgallerie3694]

i'd crap my pants if my car turned 6500 RPMs at any speed

[@TheUtuber999]

My car had a manual transmission when I met my ex-wife. Tried teaching her how to drive it, but she never caught the bug and so we also standardized on automatics for about 14 years, until I couldn't resist and bought a Dodge SRT-4 back in 2009 (second owner) and still drive it to this day. She left shortly after that purchase... hopefully not because of it, lol... but hey, I get to drive what I like now with zero guilt!

We like diesel Hybrids in the U.K. my brother in law averages 60 mpg out 2021 BMW 2.0 L X3 which is the same as my 1.6 diesel Vauxhall Astra but his car is a lot bigger and heavier if you want economical motoring going out with diesel powered vehicles that’s why trucks and ships use diesel engines also they last a lot longer because they Rev lower and made stronger

[@makb5354]

Ain't that the truth. All these new mandated safety features and demanded luxuries, turned our current cars in driving condos with rapidly depreciated value. Electric scooters and bikes as well as old vehicles, becoming more and more appealing.

[@hhdeng]

i always told people if you buying first car for someone and they like honda i always say civic or accord.... now that everything is turbo up which makes no logical sense to me, i can't suggest people to buy them...

[@nevillegrey7495]

Spotty, which f150 engine is best ?

[@connor_flanigan]

$48,000 for a Honda? ho lee fook!! I despise GM, but you can buy a new Cadillac CT5 Premium Luxury for $48,000. hell, a CT4 is only $35,000. they might not hold up for 300,000+ the way a Honda MIGHT. but if you buy a new vehicle every 10 years or so, I'd shop around.

[@slumy8195]

theres no point to have a vehicle for over 10 years any longer. Too much regulations like vehicle inspections or smog checks bi-annually these days. All planned

[@elcastorgrande]

My brother leases the hybrid, loves it.

[@cesarjom]

Great content Scotty! I only buy Honda/Acura vehicles and recently driving a 2023 Acura RDX A-Spec with a 272 hp turbocharged 2.0L four-cylinder paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Amazing handling and performance; a compact SUV with a sports car feel!! Very curious how the turbo will affect the engine wear over 100K+ miles; pretty confident in the quality of that Honda (Acura) engine!!!

[@janisiverson9944]

Run far, far way from the 1.5T. Injectors at 50K and 88K was head gaskets. The issues are all over the internet with that motor config.

My ford Maverick hybrid gets 50+ mpg with nothing in the truck bed, gets 40 mpg with stuff in the truck bed 👍

[@BigKWS]

That's pretty good. I wish my 2000 Ford Taurus would get that much! 🙄

[@SCRPhoto]

Sad about Honda is when you buy a hybrid, there is no spare tire because Honda put the battery in the spare tire where as my RAV4 has battery under rear seat so I can have spare tire.

[@markmandelstamm2866]

Everyone makes more out of this CVT revving up than there is to it. It revves for 10 to 15 seconds then the rpm's drop to lower rpm's than a geared transmission and you get a quiet smooth experience with better gas mileage.

[@jeovs1]

Got a 2012 v6 auto with 34k miles and I don’t think there’s a better year for for Honda. The 2013 and later models all removed the 1-3 gears you could use in autos but I will say the 2015-16 trim has to be the meanest look accords have

[@DJDTHTRP]

I plan on keeping this 2001 CR-V I have for as long as possible, and heck, find a second one to cycle between them and drag out combined useful life. It has all I need, and nothing I don't.

[@kennethfoley3536]

Seems to me the higher price for a hybrid offsets the net savings from using less fuel.

[@RizHail]

In Canada you pay $5000 extra on Hondas CRV Hybrid than highest Trim RAV4.

[@wafflehousemafia3814]

Does anybody know if Scotty is a fan of CVT transmissions????? He never did say.

[@rylanturner6727]

I ended up getting the lastgen CRV with the 1.5T I recommend using premium gas to avoid the oil dilution issue. As for gas mileage I almost always get 34 or better MPG on the highway which is not bad for the size.

[@gregd4391]

2020 CRV with 1.6 turbo: I've been doing oil changes every 5k miles because Scottie warned about oil being diluted by gas blowing past the piston rings. I could do the oil at 25k so did it at 27,500 miles. The oil looked normal, but it smelled like gasoline. 😢

People hate turbos because people have no idea how to take care or their turbos or they mod their car and complain about reliability. Turbo’d engines will last 200k miles if you know the car should warm up a few minutes before driving it like normal, or should baby it until temps are normal until driving normal. Manufacturers don’t go over this because your basic person don’t care to do these things and they’re essential for the longevity of turbos

[@jeremypearson6852]

The guy that offers aftermarket regular transmissions for a modern Honda Civic will make a fortune! That high revving is so unsatisfying while driving it would be a “deal breaker” for me!

[@InCorygible]

The roads in Rhode Island are absolutely trash roads. There's not much space to go extremely fast, with the exception of the highways, and even those roads are constantly under construction. So not going extremely fast there is not a big deal. But other states, like neighbour Massachusetts, a zippy car is experiencing heaven in other states. I have an '07 Civic, not quite 150k miles yet, but it's still kicking. It's a fantastic car.
