Hi
Why don’t you guys take a look at Tony Seba online and do a little research , closing my eyes hoping it will all just go away won’t work , this is technological evolution, sorry you can change it but you can’t stop it , In his analysis If we are the horse CBD will be obsolete, permanent : with FSD if we go online and look at ice car crashes video episodes it’s not trivial it’s actually terrifying , I think Scotty can see this mite have some truth , who am I , just a nobody but who is Scotty now ?
I've never seen a cheap second hand Toyota usually twice the price of a BMW or Mercedes where I live😂
Two uploads plus a livestream in a day, nice
20 to 30 years ago they said free TV was never going to last that cable TV was going to put it out of business now in about 10 years there will be more people using free TV than pay TV@@mylimomelbourne4757
Scotty, I am a millennial stay at home mom with 5 kids and no car knowledge whatsoever but you’re so darn entertaining you’re my new favorite channel 😂
0:01 Toyota C-HR 6:25 Honda Crosstour 14:45 Honda Pilot
Thanks
After this video, they all just shot up in price!
Thank you personally I like the Toyota CH-R
🎉🎉🎉🎉
@@daneboro6847You meant to say the n word huh
Years ago I was helping my dad fix an ancient toyota, he was telling me about how good everything they make is. He pointed out the upholstery, it was 40+ years old and didn't have tears
Same here. My dad saved the upholstery by putting me in the trunk.
@@Michael-yi4mclol so THATs why. ironically I got in trouble when I was a little kid with my mom’s new Chevy nova… I figured out the leather would leave little temporary marks if you put you face on the head rests ( pretty sure it was pleather ) anyway… I got the bright idea of putting my mouth on it to try and see how it would respond to teeth… from that moment on, my mom’s brand new car had a perfect and permanent impression of my 6 top front teeth on the headrest. I was doing extra chores to make up for it for the next 20 years lol
I had a 2012 Crosstour EX V6 fwd. Bought it new for $26K (with a $6K discount) and had 0% rate loan... Only had one issue at 70K, the VTEC sensor went bad. Cost me less than $200 to get it fix at the dealer. I averaged 24.2mpg at the pump throughout the 89K miles I kept it. Most ugliest car I ever had, but super practical, inexpensive and reliable!
When I bought my CH-R(when they first came out), right before every dealer got inventory. For some reason my local dealer had 2 and no other dealer around me had them. I was on the fence about other cars in that price point (all cvt) and then saw the CHR in the show room and pulled the trigger with Toyota as their reliability was good (which eased the worry with cvt). 4 years later I gave the CHR to my brother for his university journey. The chr made it across country many times with 0 issues till this day
My focus with 291k miles has anti lock brakes and they work fine, it's also a 2007
CH-R has bigger interior than my CX-30, and that Honda Pilot is a sweet rig.
YT gave survey on ur comment
Best car I've ever owned was a 95 Acura legend...perfect body black with black leather I saved it from the bone yard for 600,replaced every part
Now we find out the real driving MANIAC is Mrs. Scotty in the Matrix. Look out!
😂😂😂
Scotty never fails to get excited about Toyota😂
Ditto a Lexus! Happy wife, happy life.
For good reason too
That’s why we like him!
Toyota boner is real! Not for me though 😆
Never
I have a 1986 Toyota Corolla. The fact it’s still running today speaks for itself.
How many miles on yours my 2022 I’ve already driven it 87000 miles ?
@jawwaadwilson592, My 2009 Corolla (bought new) has 236,000 miles on it and still "runs like a top" as Scotty is fond of saying.
@@jawwaadwilson592, it has 375,000 miles on it. I’ve had it since 1996 when I was 16. It was my moms car she handed down to me for my first car. I live in Arizona and it has never gotten road salt on it. Also I’ve taken good care of it and did all necessary maintenance to keep it running.
@@jawwaadwilson592, 407,000
I have a 2019 CHR. Ive put 80,000 miles on it. i love it.
Most chr are made in turkey. So if you want one made in Japan always check where it's made like scotty did
Thank you for sharing. A warm handshake from my humble country the Philippines 🇵🇭
I love Scotty bro. The guy is just flat out awesome. Cars and all.
Hey Scotty, I make parts for the Toyota Tundra right here in Oakridge TN!! Youd be in heaven here!!😂
Sounds good Scotty K but I prefer my Ford expedition 4.6 2003 almost 400K miles and still love it
2 valve 4.6 is great.
Blows my mind when I find a ford that has lasted that long
Owner of the CH-R here, car is currently at 46k miles and have had 0 issues. Great car. Knock on wood lol
Did you get it in Bristol Toyota? My fiance test drove a red one there a few months ago
As long as you change the oil every 5000, you should be good. Don't do it every 10k or you will eventually regret it.
@Dryloch oh for sure, I've never went over 5k with it, Castrol GTX Edge full syn, about to drain and fill the CVT fluid.
@saxboss1 I did not. I found it in Nashville back in Jan of 2021
Im on 180k km
I love Toyota I've had several. I lost a car. I went to a buy here pay here lot. Got a 2003 Toyota put little money in it. Keep up maintenance. Great car still running. Had it 9 years. Can't give it up.😊
That’s awesome given the rep for buy here pay here! I’m thinking of doing the same!
Toyota is good at what they do. Once you drive one for any length of time, you will not be happy with anything else. I used to drive a Ford, and Ford Motor company is crazy if they think that competes with a Toyota. Hot summer days where the AC does not work and the tranny slips? I think not. GM and Chrystler just as bad, if not worse.
Toyota Corolla 2008, 235,000 miles on it and it runs great. I need to replace the exhaust, but it hasn't ever not turned over for me... Great car
#4. The 94 Toyota Celica.
You would love my 2008 Nissan frontier 4x4 3.0 diesel it was made in Japan also. Not available in the states. Bought in Costa Rica and it's been a great truck. Basic Betty, no airbags, no ABS brakes , cloth seats and crank down windows. Just getting her broke in with 100 thousand miles and ready for more. Just did some work and replaced the water pump, thermostat, radiator, clutch and back brakes also had the turbo rebuilt due to a bad gasket. it sucked in oil and had to be rebuilt. I added a catch can for any future issues it's crom and matches the new aluminum radiator. PURA VIDA 🌴
I originally wanted to get the Toyota chr but people said their transmission has been dying around 80k miles due to the cvt being under power. Decided to go for the new hrv
1:12 She drives fast because of hearing your voice telling her to "Rev up your engine!"
Glad to see my Honda Pilot is on this list.. I own 2012 as well.. With less miles.. Gonna have to check into deactivating that as well
My CHR gets 33 highway and 27 city. 2018 model. No issues
Over here in the UK the CHR is very popular as a lot of people don’t want the larger Rav 4
The Rav4 is too large? that kills me.
Yes, HATED that scowl on the Lexis. So glad they have got rid of it !
3000 grand for a decent Toyota? Good luck with that.
!
I just bought a toyota echo in February for 1500 it was a great find Manuel too
Facts‼️
"this car will outlast him". that crack me up scotty!
Dang, I still remember when the Matrix was a brand new car. I was in my 88 Corolla fx then.
Wow Scotty never fails to get excited about Toyota
Manual mode: a must have for mountain roads!
It's just a pleasure to watch your videos and hear your laugh Kind Scotty, thanks for them man, Long Life to you !
Love your videos Scotty, The c-hr was originally intended a Scion in the US market before the brand was discontinued. I bought one 5/18, vin starts with a j but assembled in Turkey?? Mine is green with a white top. In 65000 miles since then no cost issues at all, one factory recall for a lane departure sensor that's it, with a CVT surface Street mileage about 36, expressway, about 29. Excellent choice for the money I couldn't agree more. In other markets the c-hr has a hybrid version as well, since the platform is shared with the Prius and Camry platforms.
Good video, something to keep in mind for future purchases. Thank You for sharing.🙏👍
The Toyota C-HR for some reason had the lowest score in consumer satisfaction.
Scotty, great work 👍 your work keeps me working on my own vehicles 💪 God bless you and your family 😇🙏😇🙏.
In 2021 I was looking for a low mileage vehicle. I ended up buying a 2018 Ridgeline with 30,000 mi. No regrets , love it but the crosstour was a close second. I still think they are an awesome vehicle.
For my money, I will stick with my 2006 Scion Xb . only cost a couple grand and runs like a champ with 194 thousand miles on it. 😁 probably doesn't hurt that I have only put on about 10 thousand miles in 4 years.lol😁
A week ago I bought a 2014 Prius with 170k miles, newer tires and brakes, new 12v battery, hybrid battery health of 75%, interior is extremely clean, pain and body look great. Only cost me $1,000 from a family member.
Cool looking but I'll stick with my Ford c-max Hybrid for now...gets 45 mph and when gas prices soar is a blessing to have
😂 I love seeing you talk about Honda and Toyota. I agree with you 💯.
I just bought a 2012 Honda Civic for 3gs. Has 271000 miles but seems to run well. Was this a good choice Scottie?
You can't buy any vehicle anymore for dirt cheap that runs well.
go to an old nice neighborhood and just ask around
you can if you live where there's no people around like Tennessee. It's just supply and demand (and a little inflation, but inflation doesnt account for the total massive up-tick in price).
That C-HR is very cool! Definitely a higher price range than what I was considering (Toyota Venza) for nice comfy space to sleep in and good mileage as a daily driver!
I rented that car in the UK a couple years ago. Really cool car!
I have a 2010 Kia Rio - 205,000 miles , doesn’t burn oil , starts right up , runs like a top . Only Kia I’ve ever had - based on this one , I can’t put them down . 5 speed manual - it’s pretty zippy too .
Probably cause it's a manual. I'll have to keep that car in mind! I drive a 2003 Focus
It seems uk Kia’s have better reliability - different engines?
I tell u what I drive a 1995 Chrysler lebaron and it still runs like a top. Sure the convertible top gets stuck open but at least I can take a free shower on raining days
you are lucky.
I bought a scion Tc brand new in 2012. I honestly think this vehicle is most like Scotty’s Celica. When I was young I wanted the Toyota Celica and when Toyota came out with the tc2 , I could see the inspiration from the Celica and I just had to have it. Cost me $30,000 total after the maintenance package and tax & interest- car was 21k at the time. It still runs like a top all I did was replace oil when I needed to. I did a lot at 120k miles tho to restore some of that life but I only spent about 5k and it’s like a brand new car again. Love this machine and sad they aren’t making them any more :’(
I've heard the chr's had a lot of problems, like catastrophic engine failure for one...
Always check warranties when looking at vehicles. I swear I got a good deal on a used Highlander because the dealer didn't know there was a warranty on the paint. It was missing large areas on the roof. They ended up painting it for free later.
Love this guy.
Scotty, you are the only person who can fix America. Run for president and you have my vote. Here is the slogan: "Only Scotty can fix America, Scotty for president"
I like the timing belt on my 4.7 V8 land cruiser. It's very quiet Engine for something with 280,000 miles on it. I noticed the timing chain V8s are noisier on some models.
Currently 126k miles owned since 2018, no issues that are from the vehicles normal wear and tear. Definitely doable for a small family, but if your looking up to buy and vehicle for more kids definitely will need more room.
Great Honda and as always, a great video Scotty
Scotty was that a radar detector in the C-HR 😅😂
I have had my CHR limited since 2019. I love this freakin car. Put it in sports mode next time Scotty. Feels like it's got A turbo in it.
I love my chr. Brilliant car.
Yeah, good cars.
I actually prefer timing belts, I can change it in the driveway almost as easily as an alternator belt, timing chains are really a pain to get to and can take as long as 17 hours in labor to change a chain guide (Nizzan 350z VQ)
Scotty, I am looking at Honda Passports: 2019 to 2020, Toyota Rav 4s from 2015 - 2017 and Honda CR-V from 2015 to 2016. I don't want a model with a turbo. Have you reviewed a Honda Passport? Thx. as always great info.
i may have said this before, but in case i haven't: Thanks For What You Do Sir Kilmer! 🙏🦉
Wife and I both have Kia souls made in Korea both have over 30k miles now and we have had not one issue. I've been a mechanic for 30 years never thought I would own a kia let alone 2 of them . Glad I gave kia a chance. I still would rather have a Toyota but they are both work cars and get us around just fine with plenty of power.
Toyota mr2 spyder was other choice besides my 68 Impala.Being a fan of tv series Supernatural i chose 68 Impala
My favorite car I ever owned was a 1991 Nissan 240SX. It was rear wheel drive, very fun to drive, plenty of power for theweight of the vehicle. But easy to hydroplane when raining. It was sporty but wasn't a 300Z nor did it the pricetag of a Z. I bought it as a one owner with 35k miles and I drove it to 180k with no major issues. Just routine maintenance. It still looked like new inside and out because I take good care of my vehicles. But my mechanic who was a friend who later became my brother-in-law (died of a heart attack in 2022) told me I had to sell it because he couldnt get used parts as the engine was only used in 3 year models. I cried like a baby when I sold it. The day I put the "for sale" sign on it and parked it by the hwy where I worked, it sold. And I was 100% honest with the man and his teenage son. I event sent them down to see the mechanic. Honestly I sild it for less tjan it was worth be ause I knew oarts were going to be an issue. I have always been very honest. I just wish everyone else was because I always buy used cars. As a 58 year old lifelong single woman, I treat others how I want to be treated.
I think the matrix looks great
Beck Arnley is good quality aftermarket part.
Make sure to use Android 11 or newer. Critical vulnerability in Bluetooth can compromise the device. All Android 10 and older. Since you mentioned Scottie you like Android. If someone wanted to target devices they could make a custom antenna to reach over a km.
Hope I find one!
All the C-HR's I see on cartrader have a VIN starting with NM (Turkey).
Scotty is right about the power of the Matrix. Back in the day the Mazda RX3 and Mazda RX2 12A rotary engines put out 130hp, & that was when they were running properly and didn't have fouled spark plugs😂
oh! It start in gear first , then go cvt ? If wire are physically isolated in trans this could be a very good option
CH-R Still a connected car. so it will track and spy on everything you do say or go. Honda Crosstour As long as you blow out the CD it will last. does it have an AUX input or Bluetooth? then it's as good as any other. Piolet is fantastic.
Love you Scotty but had a friend get one of these cvt died in less than two years,
I think Scotty is the first KZheadr ever to NOT criticize how claustrophobic the backseat is in the C-HR. Personally I don't care about the backseat in these type of cars, as they are not intend to be family friendly in the first place.
Canadian Chr are made in Turkey
Pull the back seat out. Don't need it. Need the cargo space.
I heard that you have to disable the speed limit beeps every time you start the car. If that's true, I'll steer clear of that CHR.
Damnit I was looking at crosstours and pilots but now I might as well just keep saving
I got a CH R. 2021 I about a year ago with 15.000 miles no problem with it yet
The Crosstour has always got my attention, very sharp
The Corolla Hatchback is the modern version of the Matrix and Vibe. The CHR was utterly pointless in the US. No AWD and it existed with the Corolla Hatch. If there is a used deal on one, its probably good. But when new they made no sense.
Please find a 1987 Yugo and go on a cross-country road-trip. Pretty please.
I have a corolla 2001 1.4 vvti which i run everyday for work, here in europe engines are a lot smaller then USA, only use G98 on it.
What do you think about FIXD?
The c-hr’s here in europe were made in Turkey. But i do not think they had loads of problems. I think they had some paint issues, but that goes for all asian cars. My 2014 civic is starting to look like a dalmatian with all the touch up paint.
I've never seen a cheap second hand Toyota usually twice the price of a BMW or Mercedes where I live😂
This is the first time I've heard Scotty say to buy new, not used 🤯🤯🤯
Thats why scotty is always yelling, he is deaf... ahahaha
If only all deaf people could bring in 💰💰💰 with 5 mil followers
What?
CHR has transmission issues
Am I losing my mind? They don’t make the CHR anymore, no new ones available?
Texas and Tennessee...
My 2016 kai forte 2 litter is at 100k and runs great. The ac went out, but its not a big deal to me
Abeautiful car!
Scotty for president
My kia forte has 260k on it! I have replaced the alternator and ignition coil. Took it on a 4000k mile drive last month! My family thought I was crazy 🤣
Thanks to Scotty now everyone knows about it
My old Prius did about 48,000 mi in a year! If I hadn't had that car. I wouldn't have taken home much of a paycheck! It was phenomenal. I was getting about 380 miles to the tank! When everyone else was looking at $5.25 a gallon. All I ever had to do was brakes. Another set of tires a basic battery and oil changes. Very reliable very cheap car to operate and I owned a Prius when everyone thought it was so cool. It was almost like a status symbol 2007 and that was a trip for me. I don't own cars because they're cool or because you can get some sort of status off of it. I've always found that to be incredibly stupid and I think it also shows that someone has incredibly low self-esteem. If they feel like there are more important person for driving a certain kind of car. It's a declining asset that's not even really an asset when you think about it. The minute you buy a car and drive it off the lot there goes 20%!!!! So why on Earth would you look at it as though it's a status symbol? It's a means to an end for me to get from point A to point B. Even more importantly, I want to be safe!
I had a chr, nice car. But wish it wasn’t cvt
I think Kia and Hyundai usually can make about 80,000 miles and that's about it!
Same with Nissan cvt’s
I had a 2003 2.7 litre v6 tiburon manual with 175000 miles. Ran flawless. I only got rid of it because I had the cash to buy a brand new 2013 tdi golf manual. That car simply outclassed every gas powered car I've ever been in. Too bad vw couldn't be honest about the pollution stuff. Diesel gate killed the best cars ever sold in USA.
That's only with the Theta II and Nu engines.
My Kia Sorrento literally had two different door handles fall off. Paint peeling, steering wheel wearing away, total engine replacement (thankfully covered by a recall). Total POS
Anyone reading this have a Corolla and a CHR? What’s the driver’s leg room comparison? Thanks!
