HEY SCOTTY this seems to be the best way to get ahold of you. Would it be possible for you to do a Buick Sedan Thoughts?? Lasabre, Lacrosse, and the Lucerne with the trim packages??? I NEED OPINIONS PLEASE!!!!
Hey scotty,
I changed the maf sensor and alternator on my 2008 civic and now it cuts off sometimes when i take off from a red light.
I bought a 2000 Toyota Solara for $200! Best Buy! The check engine light is on! A sensor environmental
Lol I'm from Albania too like the owner of the blue Honda in your video. So true about everyone there driving Mercedes it's crazy cause Albania's not a very wealthy country. Interesting point about German-made Mercedes versus a US-made one
Hi Scotty, my friends said that my rpm on my 2010 civic hybrid shouldn’t be above 4000, is that true? Will it hurt the engine if it goes up to 6000?
Man, every day when I wake up I hope I get to have even half as much fun as Scotty does doing what he does.
He is a horse in a human body who likes cars
same here. sometimes i do. maybe that's why i do what i do for peanuts. the hope.
Drive an 07 manual civic with 255k in the winter. Got it for 3K in 2020 with 220k on it. My summer car is a 92 Formula with 220k on it.
Once I was told that people get the HIGHEST percentage of stroke and heart attack going to their jobs Monday morning... Maybe there isn't too much fun there
I had a 92 Civic....got it in 98 for 3400. Had 157,000. Drove it for 12 years. Acted like I got rid of it. Had a shop fully restore it. Took my son to look for a car and took him to the shop. He said wow Dad, that looks like your old car! He still has it!
Cool
Have a 97 civic i bought in 2006 has like 240k now shes been parked but shes coming bk out soon
@@gofastnys one of the easiest cars to work on
Keeping it in the family, nice!
Scotty, Honda hoods already do that. That hood has a second location for the hood prop. I showed my dad this on his 2019 Ridgeline. He didn't know this either, and he worked on cars his whole life but is now retired.
2010 accord same way
Integras too. I think the new ones do, too
My 2018 accord has it too
It's called the service position too haha
My 2009 odyssey too
I have a 07 Civic with 412k on her and she still runs like it’s new! Change the transmission fluid every 60 and drive her easy most of the time is the key!
Dear Scotty, Love your thoughts and work, I had the 412k Civic welded and I not sure if the tires will wear properly. So I am look for a 100k, 07 to 11 Civic to replace it. Just worried about scammers that can change the odometer. Do you have any advice in this matter. Thanks for your hard work and perseverance!
every 60 miles? BTW how often should you change transmission fluid?
Old cars are the best,I have a 2005 Nissan sentra bought it with 50,000 miles on it ,now has 416,000 miles on it runs like great still today, it probably going to out last me
Made in Japan Toyota Yaris(2007-2013)I highly recommend! I own one with over 255k miles and still runs great!
We had the 90's Echo. Terrible car but it lasted for ever lol
I agree with you, we had one for 8 years and we only changed the oil and the spark plugs and tires in that 8 years!
Driving a 2005 Scion XB with a1.5 L VVTi Toyota engine. Currently have 237,750 miles with the original transmission and engine. Changed battery, tires and break pads. AC still working fine. Love this car.
same here. but only 134k miles. manual trans. only big job was having to have clutch cables, clutch master and slave cylinder replaced. other than that, no big repair/replacement jobs
@ 4:10 I like how the owner used push pins to keep the interior roof headliner up, very cost effective.
Until they become projectiles in an accident
@@WillParker322 lmao never thought of that xD!!!
Wish I had thought of that
@@WillParker322 just dont crash
Use flat thumbtacks and you don't bump your head on the constellation.
I haven't seen that since my wife's 1980 AMC Concord POC
Scotty show GM some love. My '05 Grand AM 4 cyl ecotec has over 350,000 miles. I bought it for 1700 bucks in 2018. Junkyard has endless parts because Cobalts, Cavaliers, Aleros and some Saturns all had the same engine. Easy car to work with.
Bro, in 05 the grand ams had 2 engine types: 2.2 4 cylinder and the 3.5 v6. The 2.2 was a die hard, but it's def not an ecotec. The ecotec was a hunk of 💩.
he wont because hurr durr american car bad japan car good
That awesome
@@binxthekitty54 wikipedia is not generally accurate on many things. I think that they do outline the ecotec family of four cylinder engines. So I suggest anyone reading Binx's opinion might want to fact check.
@@binxthekitty54 they really were 💩
Bought my 2013 civic in 2019. Had 59k miles on it at that time. Now has 110k miles on it. Other than maintenance only parts that were replaced were the rear shocks and serpentine belt. That’s it! Car runs and drives so smooth. I know for a fact it’ll pass 250k miles without major repairs. Keeping it till the wheels fall off. Probably get another car when it gets over 200k but still keeping it as a spare car. Remember maintenance is key! If you want your car to last a long time
The Volvo moose is one I've always wanted. So is the Civic, especially at these days gas prices. I think they both look good too, same w/the Corolla if it's the hatch version. I actually love anything that defies planned obsolescence.
Amen to that my friend
@@robertdragoff6909 I'll third all of that.
My r18a1 civic same model in the video but 2010 is boring reliability but as a non sports car it’s not the slowest🤙
What, Civic good? Omg, the Civic i had was a gas guggler that competed with my classic fullsize Caprice V8. Buy European if you want to save gas snd have reliability, VW and Audi are superior in every way
@@pflaffik Are you trolling us.? Lol. VW, Audi and other Euro models have style, but are incredibly expensive to fix. Not to mention all of the cheap plastic that they use doesn't hold up in the heat in the US. Never again will I buy another VW, as long as I live in Texas. Everything plastic broke. From the side view mirrors, to the window controls, to the a/c actuators, to the door handles. The A/C systems are weak the transmission was jerky. I, and my sister had Jettas, and those things are rolling piles of crap. Just say NO.
Civic Headliner ... My dad had a sagging headliner too. But he used Decorative thumb tacks instead of clear ones, and placed the thumb tacks at equally spaced distances apart and strategically placed them to allow the headliner to droop in sections and it looked EXACTLY like Stuffed Crush Velvet! When I touched it, the material flexed inward because it was hollow behind it, inside. BUT it LOOKED like it was stuffed with a pad, Just like the older crushed velvet. He used Gravity to make it look like it was stuffed crush velvet. Totally amazed me!
Did this with my notorious 04 bonneville gxp’s saggy headliner
you are my hero. or should i say your dad is.
I feel sorry for that poor Corolla, it looks like it has lost its spirit with that ridiculous paint job. Such disrespect for such a well engineered car.
Probably in a crash and repaired on the cheap.
I actually think it has character 🤣
Banana
I lost it with the emoji on the hood.🤣😂
In other countries this car is well appreciated.
I have a 2005 Crown Victoria Police Interceptor with 220k on it. She’s still a beast. Best police car ever made. The 4.6 V8 will run forever.
Probly the best engine ford ever made.
@@NG-tz8wo No doubt. Only issue with the CVPI is that they had a plastic intake manifold which always cracked 🤷🏻♂️
I think that's the 2 valve, I have a Mustang GT with the 4.6 3V, I think it's the same engine, mine has 145k running strong
I had the 4.6 in a lincoln town car. Ran like a top and got better hwy miles up to 27 mpg. Such a boat but amazing engine. The body fell apart way before the engine. Sold it at 150 k stromg.
anything to look out for? or be ready for between 91k an 200k+?
i work with a car lot an we have an 07 with 91k miles an 2k hours. runs like a top ive driven it for hours with no issues. debating buying it for myself as im sick of working on my cars every month when something breaks lol
Years ago I bought my wife a Honda Civic. I think it was a 95 model. That little car (1.5 liter 4 banger) had only 25K miles on it. Got an average of 51.5 mpg. Lowest I ever got was 48.9 in winter, and best was 53.6 in summer. We had that car till 224K miles, when I gave it to a friend with a big family in need of a car. They ran it for several more years. At around 200K I decided to check the mileage again, and for three tanks in a row it averaged 52.5 mpg. It only had a 10 gallon tank, and we routinely ran it 375+ miles before filling. Never repaired a single thing either. Only wearing parts, like exhausts and brakes.
I got a 70 Chevelle. I get 1,000 mpg ! 🤣😝😜🤪😂😆
@@Nightwish1773 My 69 Boss gets 1001.
My in laws had one they wouldn't drive "they thought unsafe because no airbags" but refused to sell it or to sell it to me. Then ... they sold it like 5 years later to a neighbor. Still pisses me off
@@bch5513 That sucks. But hey, we have a neighbor we don't like also. lol Personally I would turn off the airbags if I could in any car actually.
wait until your engine starts the death metal growling sound then you can scrap it for $400
Those civics are really well built. My cousin has 150k miles and runs and drives perfectly.
my toyota corrola, WAS a 93 5 speed manual, almost 30 years , one clutch replacement, ran perfect when they picked her up today, fug hit me and they totaled it, they drove it up to the tow truck, great freaking car, no issues, ac still worked, bullet proof
I love to see my dear Corolla also in the list I am owning it since 2013. Here in India it is considered as a luxury car.
Honda Civics are my favorite cars, especially the older ones! They've got a specific look and live forever. It's the kind of car that generally tells me the driver could be a real babe magnet.
My partner of 9 years charmed me with an '06! 😆 We were gonna take it to 300K, but it got crushed by a lady who was on her phone instead of paying attention to the stoplight..
I bought a 96 hatchback for cheap, I fell in love with it. super simple cars.
I'm not sure if you've ever owned a Honda Fit, but the damn things run forever, and if you already like civics, then you'll love the fit too!
@@Vtec_Just_Kicked_In_Yo I was a manager at a Ford Lincoln Hyundai dealership for about a decade so I always had a $50,000 demo to drive. So when I left to start a new career I had to have a vehicle, so I just bought a cheap Honda Fit, and I've been amazed by how reliable and dependable that car is! Especially after joining the Facebook fit forums, where I've learned that the car will routinely go 300k 400k 500k miles
@@Vtec_Just_Kicked_In_Yo hell, I own one and don't understand them! I took one in on a trade once for a car that I sold, and I drove it home that night just to test it out.
Needless to say, I came to work the next morning talking about how fun the little car was to drive, and all my co-workers said that I needed to go to work for Honda then! Lol
I never could understand why people were so loyal to the big 3 ( Ford, Chevy, Dodge). Why not buy the car that provides the most value, dependability, and reliability? I think the big 3 realize that many Americans will remain loyal customers, no matter how shitty of an experience they provide their customers.
They know that their loyal customers cannot possibly be swayed, no matter how notoriously reliable the automobiles of their Japanese counterparts are.
Most Hondas have a second hood prop hole that allows the hood to be opened like that. Most people probably never noticed.
...I'm gonna look for it tomorrow...
I would love to pass by and see Scotty driving around in the minion Corolla 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The hood strut on the eighth generation civic actually has another position so you can push that hood all the way up in the way you showed. 1:36
Honda Fit does too.
Correct. You can put the prop further down on the hood which gives you better access to the back of the engine. Always checking for oil leaks.
Yeah my 03 Civic EU8 already has that feature.
Honda and Toyota - ya can't go wrong with these cars. Love them ❤️
They’re the best
I am on my fifth Honda have never looked back to domestic, and yes very reliable!!!!

I have a 2005 Saturn Ion with 710,00 kilometres (441,200 miles!). It still runs great! Original motor, and parts. Only the alternator and shocks have been replaced. My secret? Frequent oil changes with synthetic oil, and using premium gas.
Bought a Pontiac Vibe/ Matrix new in 2004, traded in 2016. Absolutely no issues, tires ,brakes and battery, were only things needing change. Had 150 thousand miles.
The Vibe is almost criminally underrated. Inherited my dad's 2005 AWD (yes, I live in a place where AWD is actually a necessity) and it's a tank. Sure, it's got a Pontiac shell, but it's a Toyota where it counts. Only 130K and with some vigilant rust maintenance could easily go for another 10 years since the parts are so easy to come by.
Everyone I know who had one of those Volvo XC90's had major problems and lots of them! Especially the automatic transmissions!
I would definitely fix that leaky exhaust at the very least. It’s a health hazard if CO gets into the cabin. There’s a fine line between frugal or being cheap. This isn’t the time to be cheap.
I have a 2009 Honda Civic I bought for $2,100 at 190,000 miles from my brother and besides basic maintenance, the car has served me well for 3 years. I’m at 209,000 miles hoping to get to at least 250,000 before buying a new car
Years ago, we has a 2002 RSX (not a type S) come into the shop with 575000 miles on it. Original owner and he said it was the original engine.
I have a 1995 Honda Odyssey with over 300,000 miles on it. It isn’t pretty but still runs great!
Toyota Yaris, awesome cars. Easy oil change and takes 3 1/3 quarts of oil. I change the oil every 5k with full synthetic. Just changed the brake pads for the first time at 130k. 2 kids learned to drive on it, one drove it over a stone wall. Little beast of a car and gets amazing gas mileage
Just got one
my brother had 3 crashes in the yairs and written off 2 cars runs like a champ the final one he had he scraped it :( i would of took it if i had room and repaired it i love my yairs 2004 just repaired the rear sill first time its looking good ill be never getting rid of it love it too much such a under rated car they will go forever as long as you do a little for them
Yaris 2011 best car I ever bought, great car
Honda's S2000s had a similar trick with the hood prop, and it was supported on a stock S2000. The hood could be opened all the way like that.
Got a 07 Civic for my daughter in 2011 with 65k miles. She drove it about 80k miles but never fixed anything. Sold it cheap, kind of sad
You had me at the pushpins holding up the headliner. 🤣
We bought our oldest daughter a Honda Civic that needed a new front end when she was 16. My husband teaches auto body so he picked it up for $500, and he fixed it like new for $200 more. She zipped around in that thing for years. It ran and ran. I believe she drove it for at least 10 years with very little maintenance. It had a ton of pick up and was fantastic on gas. Great little car.
what year was it? ::)
A deeper buy guide would be a case by case scenario.
I had a 08 town car with 400k miles outlast my 91 accord from NY. Also my BMW motorcycle has 120k miles and has no issues. Maintenance goes a long way.
I have the 2012 civic. Same 1.8L engine. Sounds like brand new 12 years later and almost 100,000 miles. No leaking anything. No issues whatsoever. It’s really like new.
All cars in the US should come with mandatory all-time running lights because most of our drivers are too stupid to turn their lights on when they should (rain, dusk, fog, etc.).
a lot of cars they can be turned off. stupid
My sons 2013 Honda Civic lx just passed 200,000 and hasn’t put a dime into it except for normal maintenance
my 2007 civic Si had a new actuator, tranny, clutch, and bearing since 2010. BUT I drive it like I stole it, and it drives like new at 165k miles.
Still driving my 2008 Honda Civic it's been a great little stick shift car‼️🚗
my kid bought our 2014 civic. and it now has over 300,000 mi and only change the coils and spark plugs
That Corolla’s custom paint job… Looks like it’s about to be entered into a demolition derby.
If it starts and stops on command and demand, it’s beautiful.
Tom - in that case it’s not a Chrysler.
It could be a Chrysler from Cold War era...a Stellantis, only when driven off the dealer lot. Them all bets off. 😏🤷♂️🇺🇸
When I was a teenager and had my first job (many years ago) a guy I worked with loved volvos, he spent all his money and time buying banged up Volvos and fixing them up. He would be rock hard at that v8
The hood already goes vertical on 90 percent of Hondas , I’ve got an 2008 civic and the hood goes vertical and it’s even got a hole for the prop rod
Corolla is the best choice. They're so easy to work on. Parts cheap and great on fuel.
As a Honda Accord driver, I don't think they look too bad, mine's at nearly 350k miles and has only had the trans replaced once, otherwise it's only needed the recent airbag recall and a loud exhaust to really make it feel like a well engineered beast
I drive a 30 year old Toyota and the paint is barely starting to wear out and I changed out all the worn parts. Reliable cars can last a long time if they get proper maintenance in and out.
The Honda owner should have gotten the other front side panel replaced as well, then it could look like a two tone car.
The early 2000 civics such as the EP actually do have two positions for crop rod with one having the hood almost completely vertical
Scotty...Why would you hate Daylight Running Lights? You can't even see yours!
I think they are a good safety feature.
Honda has done that for years. Look on the Passenger side of the hood.
What's funny is. I'm Albanian and my first car is a Honda Prelude lol
They actually make a spray for headlingers, you spray and squeegee and done!
If you're just going to ignore the airbag sensor codes, leaves arguably the most important part of buying a car out, which is safety.
Big reveal Scotty keeps his beauty covers on but throws all others away.
I wouldn't take that Corolla, even if it was free. Repeat after me, Uuuugly!😲😲😲
I’d take the thanosmobile for shits and giggles
I have a honda civic older than that a coopee that's how we say it but in ex condition 38000 miles don't care they are good engines you have those with all the gadgets waiting to fail and let you down newer cars already breaking down ?
I owned a 2006 civic like that. Water pump broke I think and the belt broke too, but Honda fixed all of it as it was under some sort of recall. Props to whoever owns that Corolla ! I love Minions!! :D
I would never go back to Volvo. I bought a used 2004 XC90. 6 cylinders with turbo. Transmission went out at 60k miles. It cost me $3k(half of bill, other half went to warranty)to fix. Sold it soon after. Any cars that break down that early, I'll never look at again. All my toyota, never broke down. Just normal maintenance done. Love them!
Hi Scotty, love your videos. I m 71 living in Montreal and still like to do some maintenance on my dig this 2007 Toyota Matrix, 120,000 Klms. and still going. Just a little rust on back drivers side fender and I think the yearly rust treatment is paying off.
KEEP REVVVING.
On the older civics, like 98 and something, you can open the hood almost verticaly
Thank you Mr Scotty! We need to get a second car for our daughter in college, you made it possible for us to find an excellent value.
Ehhh…. Its wildly inaccurate though. Typical Scotty. Get a VW to really save on fuel. Audi if you can afford
@@pflaffik Worst advice you could give, especially the Audi, come on Audi is a goddamn luxury brand with insane parts prices and complexity, it's like the worst first car choice ever...Also, "wildly inaccurate"??? Okay, VW is good, doesn't mean the choices in the video couldn't be just as good, just depends on the person.
the 2ZZ-GE found in the 7th gen celica gts was a toyota/yamaha deal.
Scotty I have an 06 Honda Accord and CANNOT figure out how to get the drl light off my dash my light bulbs work fine wires aren’t kinked! Please help 😅
Scotty alone keeps the resale value of corollas high
I agree Scotty - I have a 98’ Accord 278,000
Everything still Working - Running fine . Trans - Slipping alittle but hell been like that for 5 yrs it’s my Ghetto Cruiser 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I had a friend from West Virginia who hate his corolla and exchanged it for a Ford Escort. I asked him "Why would you do that?", He said because the Corolla wouldnt break down easily & he wanted to tinker with his car. 🤦♀🤣
A friend has a 2000 Toyota Corolla . This thing will never die.
I love cars like this. I get a big kick out of laughing at the idiots, blasting past me in their $75K pickups--must have Punisher skulls on rear windows. Lol! My $4K Toyota was paid for with a cashier's check, and runs great!
4:13 Holding up the ceiling liner with push pins ! I never thought that would work.
Till u sit on one 🤣
Have a 2007 civic just like that one I bought 3 years ago… 150k miles, running at 190k miles now. Only replacement I had to do was just an alternator replacement and surprisingly the same hood and fender replacement as that car.
As a Volvo owner it always makes me happy to see videos about Scotty’s positive opinion about the brand!
Volvo for livet
2010 civic here no real problems just maintenance. Do the fluids and take care of it they will run forever. Only has 150k on it so she’s just barely broke in
Tbh I would have gotten all fancy with the pins on the Civic's ceiling. Make patterns or star signs or something.
my 2022 honda civic has a service position for the hood prop it awesome
My grandma has the same car now that she had when I was a kid. I’m 22 now. That car does not stop kicking
i have a 1983 honda civic that i bought new still drive it all the time 200 thousand runs like new japan makeum good i will never sell it
Toyota & Honda paint sucked, but my 2 Toyota Corollas have given me 260,000 & 202,000 which just got a new battery. She runs fine. My Sister's 1994 Camry is needs struts, but drives good with 435,000 miles!
435k?!?!? That's incredible!
I was waiting for it, i knew you were going to showcase a toyota corolla
My Mazda BT 50 ute is 16 years old & everything still works as when it was new.
0:22 The Toyota Matrix, that is the original compact sedan-SUV crossover, that become trend now, such as Subaru VX, Honda HRV, Mitsubishi Outlander, Mazda CX3.
I've seen two of those civics, same model, ran soo hot it melted the plastic dip stick in half.
The person with the thumbtacks on the headliner is a mad man, imagine it's dark and one falls and you sit on it.
I have a 2004 hyaundai accent 4 Cyl and it is a very very tough little car. It just keeps running and running. I do the minimal to no maintenance, run it until it’s very low on oil before adding more. Same with coolant, it does not use much of either one. I am embarrassed to admit all of my failings do to laziness and it’s a little worse than I am admitting to. On time I accidentally drove over a high curb decider head on up one side and down the other. I freaked out about my stupidity, no damage to muffler or oil pan, no leaks suspension good. It looks a lot like you’re Honda. I cannot say enough good about it.
I love the use of all those thumb tacks to keep the cloth ceiling liner up!
Love the droopy headliner and all those push-pins! My 2001 Accord did similar - I used 'repair buttons' from parts store - 'classy'!
the little spiral pins that your grandma used to keep doilies on the arms of her couch work better for the headliner.
I own a 2009 Honda Civic four-door and on the hood prop it has two spots where you can put the prop one high and one low
The hood hood is designed to go up all that way. There are 2 hole you can poke the stick in, haha
My 2011 Civic EX with 78k miles in showroom condition, oil never half dirty and brand new Michelins will be passed down to my daughter and would probably handed down again to her kids someday if EVs are not everywhere by then.
Our honda Freed just got sold yesterday. 196K . We decide to sale it before it reaches 200k 😆. 2x ac service, the rest is limousine! Flushed the transmission oil once. Many² times we got almost empty oil. But not even one smoke coming from the exhaust!
Im sorry to say this, but we buy a wuling in exchange 😂. Wish us luck!
I just bought one of those civics. 140k miles. Engine and transmission are perfect. I couldn’t believe it. Did a little headlight replacement, little undercoating spray for the winter and new tires. It’s very nice.
I have one here in Australia. It's my daily. 190,000 km 5 speed manual. Car runs real good.
I have honda Civic 2006 now at 200 K plus. The car runs smoothly and no major repairs so far. Unlike Nissan Sentra 2015 I had before, at 90 K km the transmission failed I had to replace with another complete CVT transmission which is so costly.
He gives good advice regarding the mechanicals, but he doesn't live in the rustbelt. Engines and transmissions may last forever but eventually the rust takes over and the car is shot. My son's car ran like a champ until the steering box rusted to pieces not to mention the frame. If you live where they use salt brine on the roads I don't care what you drive they will corrode.
I am still drive my 1999 Avalon....and still run bet ter then my SUV 2011. I love it...
In the early 90s a guy I worked with had a Civic. The odometer stopped working at 350k miles and it had well over 400k mi on it. I went through three cars and he still was driving his trusty Civic to work every day.
I'm in the UK and I've got a 2006 2.2 diesel civic . I love it , its very quick , and I get 45mpg around the city and 65mpg on the motorways.. it's bulletproof, and pulls like a train.
