scotty please stop talking about toyotas. im broke but still want to buy one😢. im sooooooooo stupi i sold my prius years ago. why oooo why???
better off just buying a hybrid corolla
What about the VW Jetta?
@@billkillernic as far as i know they are different hybrid system with actual timing belt. somebody had it amd he told me wirh 120kkm he had to put in 2k euros into maintenance. regular.
'If I had the money' Come on Scotty, you are just cheap, not poor😂
Multi-millions from YT alone.
@@wholeNwonyep, Scottys actually a multimillionaire, I’m sure he’s genuine but I understand why people would think he’s just maintaining the persona for cameras
At 6.18M subscribers Yes he is a multi Millionaire.
Scotty's family legacy will be extra huge because he won't spend money on things he doesn't need. Also his frugality informs his practical repair philosophy.
My mother is legit like that, so cheap she's convinced herself she's nearly broke when in reality she's very well off. She could/should be traveling the world, eating at nice restaurants and staying in nice hotels, instead she eats TV dinners and watches free steaming TV at home every night because "everything costs too much"...old habits die hard.

CX-5 I still don't fully trust Mazda I know nothing about them.
Bought a CX5 last July. I've been Toyota and Lexus my whole life, absolutely happy with my choice.
The eCVT is entirely different to a CVT and a marvel of engineering.
and those come in the hybrids correct? i just leaned about these the other day at the dealership. have been trying to get more info about them, wish scotty would give us his thoughts
The eCVT is way better than the old traditional cvt, picks up more when taking off. Can never go wrong with a toyota
@@Sosaaxz The WeberAuto channel has a good teardown of the Toyota hybrid transmission. "Understanding the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid"
My wife wanted a new Prius. I showed her the Corolla Cross is the same but more room in the backseat. She's sold on the Cross!
Does the cross have the same roominess inside?
Can’t go wrong w the Corolla.
I hope Toyota makes a Prius Cross. The Prius design language is just so much better than the Corolla Cross design
We bought one & g/f loves it
But vampires are not suppose to go near crosses. lol
The naturally aspirated SkyActiv 2.5 in my '23 CX-5 is averaging 28 MPG. 26 in town and 32 on the highway. I'm loving it for the style, handling, AWD and is fun to drive!
6+ Million subscribers and he says " If he has the money " 😂😂 this guy can buy all those cars with the change in his couch 🛋️
Nobody puts Scotty in the corner LO.L
He spends all his money on fancy scan tools 🤣
I have a 2013 Chevy volt I swear the Prius looks the same. I’ve had it for a year. I’ve put 38,000 miles on it one year. zero issues and mine was only $8000 and I got a tax credit so I will take my Volt all day long! If Chevy was smart, it would bring back the volt.
Hey Scotty, My wife bought a 2017 Mazda 3 Touring Hatchback in late 2018 from a military officer that was being transfered. She's been very happy with it! She kept her 2007 Yaris which drives like the day we bought it new in 2007. It has 167k miles. Never any problems. I'm still driving my 2003 Toyota MR2 Spyder. It has 137k. I bought it in 2005. Im also driving my 2002 Jeep Liberty. I use it to take my lawn tractor up to our country place. 168k and drives pretty good. Could use new shocks and bushings. I bought the Jeep in 2005. It had 17k. Two problems was the AC compressor. I just fill it with freon as needed. The other problem is the clear coat started coming off. It looks terrible. It doesn't matter since it still serves its purpose. My next vehicle will either be a Toyota or a Lexus. Im still going to keep the MR2 Spyder. Its always reliable and fun to drive! Both my wife and I love your channel and the info you provide!
Yikes 4x the car insurance and yearly maintenance costs.
Scotty you Rock! Thank you for all your great videos
Thank you Scotty! Appreciate the honest advice from someone with experience.
I'm not ready to turn in my 2017 Toyota Yaris Hatchback SE with 76,000 km (47,000) miles on it. It also comes with the 5-speed anti theft protection. Hehe. I also love the variable valve timing, and not quite ready for a CVT transmission. Thanks again for a great video and your valuable input.
It’s highly recommended to have your new Toyota hybrid cars serviced at Toyota main dealers to maintain their 10-Year battery warranty. Their dealers aren’t all that expensive and they provide an excellent customer service experience.
I love my 2016.5 CX5. Got it new in 2017. It has 60k miles, I change the oil every 5k, and it runs like new and doesn't burn oil. It's a naturally aspirated 2.5 with a 6 speed automatic and gets about 25 mpg average. Newer Mazda non-turbos are excellent.
That's funny,"if I had the money"
I had a 2007 MX6 MPS, 2.3L turbo here in the UK and those engines would burn oil for fun, especially noticeable when stationary after a long run. Something to do with the PCV system I believe. If you took it into a Mazda dealer they would change the turbo but that wasn't a fix. A guy in the forums figured out a problem with the PCV valve and manufactured a new banjo bolt with a restricted hole, that reduced the problem but wasn't a total fix
I saw a beautiful CX 5 today at the gas station, beautiful red color
Yes! Mazda has the hottest most brilliant red color on their cars. It’s beautiful.
Bought 2024 Mazda cx-5 carbon edition with Red interior Love it
@@muhammadahsanmirza4712 Great choice, enjoy it and drive safe 👍
I think the new Prius is adorable & very good looking. I still prefer more ground clearance, sitting up higher (Corolla Cross hybrid). Beware if you are very tall though. The low sloping front windshield cuts close for tall drivers I think. I’m a huge fan of Mazda CX5, too!
I’ve been a Toyota man for years but the CX-5 have been making me think more about getting one! Such nice pretty vehicles.
Not a fan of CVTs either. Wish manufacturers still made a manual transmission
"If i had the money"? You have over 6 million subs... i feel like you could afford all 3 😆
According to social blade is estimated 30 day earnings is between 7k and 112k . This does not include other social media platforms.
Gotta say scotty, I am a new viewer and I’ve been loving the videos, just wondering if you have heard of a Canadian company called Edison Motors that is making hybrid diesel trucks (specifically a semi first then kits for pickup trucks), if so I feel that many would love to hear your thoughts on the subject
Noises are important, I liked so much the noise of old sewing machine older Porsche 911 used to make😂
The local Ford dealer mechanic says his job description is now, Fixing Our Recalls Daily. Finally a new acronym for Ford.
I'm torn because I want to finally get a new ford 4x4 f-150 to replace my 2 wheel drive. Problem is I just keep finding story after story about how all 3 American pickup truck manufacturers have basically dropped the ball in the quality department. Thinking about just tossing in the towel and maybe getting a camry or a frontier.
@@dgunearthed7859 Get a Nissan Titan.
I picked up a 2023 mazda cx5 cardon non turbo last September and i think its the best and nicest vehicle ive ever owned. Super quiet and smooth ride.
Scotty, I’ve had two Toyota Camry hybrids the first one I had to replace the hybrid battery at 140,000 miles which cost me $9000 at the dealer in Honolulu the second one the battery went at 60,000 miles which was under warranty thank God. These hybrid batteries do not last that long.
Toyota does like 300k MILES warrenty on their batteries if you take it to a yearly checkup (where i live anyway) How you can argue that these dont last is beyond me, they trust the product clearly. In Denmark they are yet to see A SINGLE failure of these units. Seems like you'v bought a lemon, suck at maintaining the battery (yes they need maintenance) or just plain bad luck.
@@Surpriseify maybe bad luck
We have the same issue with toyota hybrid batteries in my country Sri Lanka. Perhaps tropical climate has something to do with it. 60k miles typical life.
@@sunilayya8948 Yes, that’s a good observation. Maybe it’s the heat. The regular lead acid batteries also don’t last more than 3 years in Hawaii.
My 2016 Toyota Avalon has almost 200k and it still has it’s original hybrid battery
Sounds great Scotty. What do you think about the Toyota Corolla hybrid. I own a 2022. Please do a video on that car. If you haven’t already don’t that. I get 56.7 MPG average mileage. I think now a days is great. I also own a 2016 Silverado LTZ and it stays in the garage mostly.
I'm glad to see that a Prius is in the list. My brother just got a 2016 Prius for 8k with 150k miles and hopefully it will last double that. The mpg is just too good.
Nice price! my 2017 with 77k sells for $15-$18k
Just bought a 2021 Mazda cx-5 (non turbo)
My Alfa romeo Giulietta is fine so far. I bought it 6 months ago from german first owner with 60 000 miles. Will get rid of it when it hits 120 and probably get alast generation Mazda 3 or Honda Civic with a manual transmission.
You're a living legend Scotty 🙌 👏 🎉😊
4:29 "A regular car sounds like a motor brombrbmomboam... you know it's a car!" 😆I love Scotty!
My 2017 Prius is the best car I've ever owned. And I've owned a lot of cars. Reliable, fuel efficient, quiet, trouble free, and it's depreciated only $6k in 7 years.
I’ve had very good luck with 2003 & 2011 Honda Accords
I don't drive anymore and I can't walk very Good, but My Best Friend has a Smart Car with The Atkison Engine The only problem My Walker won't go in it, but Maybe I can ride in it some day.
Scotty! Love ya man!
Scotty might be cheap but not poor... But Scotty definitely has a RICH heart. Looking at Scotty's 6.1 million subscribers, surely Scotty is well compensated. Scotty is one of my favorite KZheadrs!!! Keep up the good work sir!
Scotty you should check out the 2024 honda accord hybrid train... The transmission and hybrid system completely outclasses what toyota has to offer...
I detail cars in NewOrleans and a older prius got flooded to the floors and they got me to get the water out and it still was working I was shocked 😲
4:50 man I'm dead after that Van Halen joke 🤣🤣🤣💀💀💀. Imagine a Prius just driving along and all of a sudden you as a pedestrian hear "PANAMAAAAA" 🤣🤣🤣
HOT FOR TEACHER would be great
Wicked kool! I’d love that I could change the sound of my car to different classic rock songs! 😂
Once in my early 20s my dream car was a porch… now its a Toyota
GR Corolla comes with a manual transmission and AWD. I'd rather get that than the standard Corolla hatchback.
Only problem is the ridiculous markup you are likely to pay.
The GR Corolla is not an everyday car.
4:15 - Scotty - If you can hear it, you can hear it.
I thought the same thing. Someone came to my house in a hybrid and I said to them hey there’s something wrong with you car. They asked why? I said it’s making a terrible noise.. they said that’s how it’s supposed to sound. I was convinced it was broken and they didn’t understand what I was saying but I guess it really it how they were made
I loved my 2010 Prius LE. Tree fell over and I ran into it. I'm probably replacing it with a 2024 RAV4 hybrid.
Even if it's a Toyota I still don't want a hybrid. Now that Corolla hatchback with the manual transmission is very interesting.
Yes Scotty I would have it play Van Halen's Panema; Specifically.
The real kicker is that the Prius was never truly ugly besides maybe the first generation. The 3rd generation is really sexy looking, especially in that Barcelona Red paint. Bonus points if the windows are tinted jet black along with that bright red paint. 🥵
It’s very nice but it screams grandma or church lady.
@@johnnyquid-xj4kk "church lady"?? Forget it - The Prius is a taxi.
@@johnnyquid-xj4kkYou confusing yourself with KIA that are cheaper. Prius is too expensive for even a grandma nowadays😂
The 4th gen Prius looks like a Bugatti.
@@NovaPrincess if it weren't for its size I'd buy it but it looks sweet.
I drive a 2014 Lincoln Hybrid and I LOVE IT!
Whenever I see these videos and comments I feel out of place. I opted for the all gas 24’ Corolla SE because I just trust the all gas vs the hybrid. I also mostly drive highway.
Hey Scotty! What year of Toyota Tundra are your most recommended? Also, what model and year of Toyota car do you recommend as well?
The eCVT is entirely different to a CVT and a marvel of engineering!!!!!!!!
I’ll keep my 2004 Prius for a while longer… maybe get one of these newer models eventually, once they go through the new model pains 220k miles on my Prius, other than general maintenance no issues. 50 to 55 miles per gallon is typical. Insurance cheapest as it comes And car can be worked on easily
Insurance cheap...now you get my attention!
@@martinep6293 well…cheap as insurance comes, not that insurance is cheap.
I agree that they should standardize the EV sound. It should be the sound of the Jetson’s flying car.
A Tesla backed into a parking space next to me a few months ago and the owner had set the backup sound to be exactly that-- the Jetson's car sound! There is actually a "fart" sound that you can program, too.
I know cab drivers who are still driving a 2011 Prius like myself. They are still driving them they're coming up on 680,000 mi and those cars run 24 hours a day 7 days a week!! They literally have drivers hop out and another one hop in. These are primarily the most used vehicle that are utilized to pick people up in and around the airport and take people into the city! Because if they didn't have a Prius, they wouldn't have a paycheck.
Scotty,can I soften the suspension of my mazda 6 2021 turbo Touring? What do I need to do and what's the estimated cost? I think im gonna buy it when lease end this July....partly due to your love for them
Mazda Cx-5 is the only car where I've seen the suspension springs break.
They’re not off road vehicles
I call them bulky hatchbacks
No hybrid is slow current Prius rides a little funny and noisier than the 2016 but they are definitely zippy but that’s not the point the point is fuel economy practicality and dependability
I got a 2023 rav4 hybrid, it’s the best car I’ve ever owned. It’s really well built and I like the hybrid noises it makes. It’s really simple and good looking at the same time. Way better than any stupid Tesla or full ev car.
I owned a venza hybrid I love the sound but you don't like sound but I like it
How do u feel about the 2023 Toyota crown platinum since its hybrid with 6 speed automatic
I'm fiancing future auto loans. Loan leagth is 15 years at 1.5 percent. You need to pay 98% down, fiance the remainder. This loan process is due to so many TRUSTWORTHY people that ALWAYS paid their debts!
Just insane.
What ?
I am not crazy about FWD but this is a really nice one. 👍🏻👍🏻
Is the turbo worth the extra money ? I'm trying to figure out if I should go with the base model or the turbo atm.
Gears are a compromise. CVT can use the optimal position. Most CVT's are build wrongly
That Corolla in the that blue looks really nice.
My grandpa had a 3rd gen Prius and has got 14ft long pieces of wood in it. Great cars!
??? Did he wreck it?
My 2020 Highlander v6 with a 8 speed automatic works great
I would hope so… it is only 4 years old.
@@djplonghead5403 yes and 12k miles. But it is my second Highlander.
Please do a video on the CIRCULAR LOGIC engines such as those in big dodge pickups. Nothing on intranet! Stuart
New RAM with Hurricane twin turbo 3.0 Inline six. Has to be > thirty videos on KZhead. Circular arguements are a waste of time.
48 MPG is definitely good. But my 1999 Saturn got 39 MPG on the hiway. No hybrid. No huge battery. That was a quarter century ago. I realize that the physics doesn't allow ICE engines to ever reach a 100MPG in a 5 person passenger car.....but you would think that the evolving technology would result in 50 MPG? No hybrid.
Toyota Starlet from the 80s used to claim 54mpg but was a tiny 2 door hatchback and a manual 5 speed. All the government regulations made it stop being made.
Scotty. Can you please find a way to program my car to sound like, "Panama?" 😂
We love our oldish Toyota Camry Hybrid; goes beautifully and will have it 4eva !
Scotty, I am from Ireland -I love your UTube videos -I bought my wife a 2019 Toyota Corolla which she loves but the “Bluetooth “ has failed to operate which is not under guarantee -cost of repair quoted is E2560 which I don’t want to pay .

I love my Mazda Cx-5!!! I want the Cx-50 those Turbos in the Cx-5/cx-50 they get up n go!! I'm just ehh about electronic parking brakes...
If I had the money? I would buy a Mazda CX-5.
We’ve had a CX-5 since 2017 and it’s rock solid after 76K miles. I also own a 2005 Mazda5 with 200,000 miles on it and the only thing I’ve had to repair outside of routine maintenance is replace the heater blower motor.
For some reason I think scotty really likes CVT transmissions
E-CVT
E-CVT is very different that regular CVT
The battery warranty specifically? And what voids it? I like to keep my cars a while. The windshield looks too sloped and looks small inside. 🤔
What is the best used car that needs the least maintenance over its years and has the best mileage over the engine lifespan motor car or DIESEL HYBRID ONLY.
Scotty you should run for president, you will have my vote , because you are a shane person , not like our crazy politicians who don't know what they are talking and vote about. Keep up the good work!
That 2024 Prius! 🥰🤘🏿 I own a 2017 Prius, and I love it, would love to drive it to 500k. But that sun roof on the 2024 Prius Prime XSE Premium has me in a vice grip. I try to drive my car more to appreciate what I have lol! 😅
YES the Prius Prime is like a hidden gem still!
also we need moar of the horse laughing pic
25 Camry fuel Economy just made the Prius redundant. More practical. Same fuel economy
Nope…. With the Prius you also get all the associated costs and problems of a secondary drive system and battery. Plus, with that battery pack you also get to spend 3x normal to get a mechanic to fix anything.

Hot tip Scotty: Toyota might have a Celica for 2025
Hey Scotty! I was researching most reliable cars to buy and found your channel. I purchased a 2017 Ford Escape and it’s had nothing but problems with the motor along with two recalls. It’s not running currently because it needs a new motor but I’m still making payments on it. We’re now looking into something durable, reliable and has room in the trunk for my daughter’s wheelchair. I don’t want to spend a fortune. Any recommendations would be appreciated
Just announced Toyota changes sound to Van Halen Panama lol this would be great
Agreed! That would kick @$$!
🤣 6.2M subscribers and "IF" you had money 🤣
Scotty. It doesnt matter the noise... The necessity is that it MAKES noise for those that can't see.
Oh no that Prius droning noise is an immediate no for me! Scotty talking about it not noisy that’s not what i heard! It was too damn buzzy for my taste

People sleep on Mazdas. They're fun cars and I think the SkyActive tech [which some Toyotas have too] is pretty interesting and cool. I have a 2016 CX-3, although it is too small [because it's a CX "THREE", not a 5, 70, 90, etc] and lacks some storage space [armrest is ridiculous and has no compartment], it's nice as hell, seats are beautiful, drives nice, looks nice.
