Would you advise to service your car yourself or take it to garage/dealership? My car is a Honda Accord 2008 ex with 76000 miles.
This is my car! It was cool opportunity getting to spend time with Scotty. He’s the same guy off camera (with a little more swearing lol) Honest, humble, LOUD, and just overall a great guy.
Congrats on a REALLY good deal!!! WOW.
If you ever decide to sell your car, you can label it "as seen on the Scotty Kilmer channel.."
He seems like the salt of the earth types I grew up with. Probably tells some great stories "off camera."

Hey scotty, Honda sales here. Been in the industry for about a year now. Your advice and information has been invaluable. Your a gem of a mechanic, and content provider.
Scotty Kilmer’s depth of knowledge of cars astonishes me.
He's been doing it for 52 years man...c'mon.

I am envious of these folks who seem to find great deals!

My wife has a 2013 Civic hybrid with 200,000 miles. It's only ever needed oil changes, brakes and the ac compressor died around 170,000 miles. It always delivers more than 40mpg. Fantastic car.
I picked up a 09 with 80k miles and a blown head gasket for $2.3k. I changed the head gasket and it runs like a dream. The interior is mint, and the car is worth substantially more than i have into it. Its an awesome car and i love it!
Love how anytime Scotty mentions "Junk" the Chevrolet dealer picture pops up hahahaha
I love my Chevy.
It should be FCA products

My neighbor has a Honda Odyssey ~180k, he doesn't like that it's breaking down all the time with less than 200K. I just had to go rescue him when his water pump blew up... in my Toyota -w lotus V6- 207K.

That look kitty gives you afterwards, is kitty thinking "Ok you ring that bell one more time & I'll head straight to the bath room, rev up my claws on the toilet paper roll and unravel the whole damn thing human."
I did buy my 07 Civic Hybrid new. I still have it and it runs well. Way back in 2007 there were numerous incentives to get a hybrid in Canada. No provincial sales tax, Federal Sales tax rebate, Scrap-it program where you could get $1000-$2000 dollar rebate on a hybrid by trading in an older car that had been insured for the last 6 months or failed its emissions test.
The original software was better than the updates which stole 15-20% of the fuel economy to extend battery life of the hybrid pack. You can get rebuilt packs for under $1000 and $2000 for new battery cell ones. The other nice thing is the Civic Hybrid holds the road like any Honda Civic, Its not a rickety underweight gocart like the early Prius and Insights.
Needed a hybrid battery replacement after only 6 years and after reprogramming my car buy Honda to save the battery. I only gets 38 miles per gallon now. Hardly better than a normal combustion engine. Is there a way to roll back the software to the older version so I can improve my gas mileage again?
I have a 2017 Honda Accord hybrid and am amazed by the system (212hp/232tq). I get 50's around town and mid/low 40's on the hwy, and can even do short trips in all EV mode. The build quality is amazing (built in Japan) ,and comfort is top notch in my opinion.
I got a 2013 Civic Hybrid, currently at 107,000 miles. Bought it 3 years ago. Never had any problems. Just been maintaining oil changes, I recently replaced the transmission fluid cause I'm always afraid of CVTs going bad but I've never heard of the civics CVTs going bad. Going up hill kinda sucks but I love the engine braking going down hill. Drove from TN to NM, TN to PA, and a couple times to FL. A very reliable car so far!
My 2000 Honda Civic has 502,000 miles. Original engine, original transmission...can’t believe how reliable it is and all I do is dump a ton of oil in it
damn congratulation, i hope it may last until 1 million miles
I've had my 07 Civic hybrid for just over 11 years, it had around 35k miles on it when u purchased it, I've done all the oil changes, front brake pads twice (85k original, and again at 198k, along with new rotors). I did have o2 sensors replaced at around 191k, along with my original plugs by a shop back in January as I had a CEL showing, and in NYS it won't pass inspection. But that's about it. Love this car, and although it started rusting a couple years ago, I can't see any reason to get rid of it.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 they roll into the junkyard 🤣🤣🤣 and a chevy dealership pops up🤣🤣🤣
One time he changed it to Fiat lol. I was surprised!
But we all know and even Scotty Fiat isn't as junky as Chevy or MINI.
I’m a Honda Civic guy,no cars can beat the miles per gallon they go,except if you drive a hybrid one. I want to meet Scotty,he reminds me of my mechanic,honest with everything he does… Thanks for the video.👍👏👏👏👏👏🙏
What really makes sense is a paid off 94' Celica shooting for a millions miles and NO car payments.
Can you make a video on Acura integras
I had two of them and wish I would have kept one. Super fun to drive.
S2000, NSX, Integra, Civic type R, .....
In fact the civic hybrid does have a starter motor that is only used when the battery and electric motor are unable to start the engine. Also, under some circumstances, the IMA system can keep the car's speed on electricity only. Proud owner of a 2009 civic hybrid almost 200k and still going strong.
There was a class action lawsuit against Honda for this generation of Honda Civic Hybrids for a good reason. I owned one and would not recommend it. My MPG went from about 50 to the upper 30s as the battery degraded. Acceleration was terrible at the end (little battery power means little assist available). Everything from this point on is based upon what I read, Honda's design over stressed the hybrid battery, which caused them to start to fail. Since Honda did not want to replace the batteries, they reprogrammed the engine to save the batteries, which ruined the MPG.
Yep. I drive a 2006 Honda Civic hybrid ( looks just like the 2011) and I have had ZERO repairs in 15 years! Still on the original brake pads! For many of the reasons Scotty states- I went with the Civic Hybrid over the Prius. ( There are some other reasons as well). The main negative of the car for me is the road noise which is loud. But what to do-- a car that costs zero, gets 48 MPG and never leaves me stranded. About 165,000 miles on mine. Good to see this one at 235,000. I did buy mine new at an OTD price of 22,000- high back then. But by now that works out to $122/month over time, although paid off long ago.
I have the same make and model car as you but the battery pack went out after only 6 years and got replaced by the dealer for free. Now the car only gets about 40 miles per gallon. So I think they put in a weaker battery pack. I can't complain too much because I bought it used for 3,000 and it's been running perfectly except for the replacement of an old worn out battery and a worn out tires. Didn't notice the road noise being that loud.
@@newton296 Bumble batteries - check em out
I just snagged a 2020 Insight and I love it. Lot of city driving where I am now and I get between 55 and 60 MPG. My previous car (2013 Dodge Dart) not only had tons of electrical issues but I was getting around 28 MPG. I haven't pushed it for a full tank yet but I'm averaging 300 miles on about 4.5 - 5 gallons of gas (total tank is 10.6 gallons IIRC). I still think Hybrids are under utilized overall as an option. There are more failure points but if the hybrid side of my Insight dies I can still drive it just on the regular combustion engine.
I'm not a "car guy" but I do follow a lot of Scotty's Videos (I searched the channel for this one just today) because the videos on the channel are just packed with great info.
I got the 2005 Honda Accord hybrid with 233k miles made in Japan not America and I used everyday for delivering putting 100+ miles a day.
These cars were really smart made.
Come on Scotty , Toyota Hybrid is full hybrid , their transmission as CVT is just to classify easier Yes ,Toyota hybrid can't be standard transmission But hand down Toyota , Hybrid is much more reliable .Honda Hybrid is just mild hybrid . Uber and yellow cabs drivers will agree with me.
Actually, it can run on electric only for brief periods of time. The motor is directly attached to the flywheel so it isn't very efficient because the motor has to push the rotating mass of the engine around too, but it can shut the valves and turn off fuel injection for brief periods of time with very low load.
Usuaully when I come home from a long day driving this car, I go around 19 mph in my neighborhood and drive the last few hundred feet on battery only, until the engine has to take over again to get it up the sloped driveway where I live. xD
Evening Scotty👌 great to see the daily uploads
evening and thanks!
Bought my 07 Honda Civic EX for only 2k. It’s been running and running ever since 🚗💨💘 Honda Forever 🚀🚀🚀🔥🔥🔥
My dad had a Honda Accord with 615000 milles on it. He lost his car in a car accident. That’s the only way to put away a honda from the streets.
Also Scotty:
“Here’s why Toyota lasts longer than Honda”
My 2020 Toyota Corolla Hybrid is getting 61.5 MPG combined City and highway. Yeah I paid 23K for it new but at $1,600 for that Honda it's a steal.
Over 60 mpg on a Corolla wow
Do they make that in hatchback?
That's an awesome car for $1600.00! Very good value and the car looks great!
I love the pics of the horses laughing with their teeth out whenever Scotty starts laughing lol
What can I say about a man, that’s on vacation and still working? He’s just awesome! I thought I knew a lot about cars, until I fell in Scotty’s Videos. I now make my technician watch Scotty’s videos before they fix my car. Lol!
Hi scotty still waiting for my shirt from my favorite mechanic n just all around great guy
My dad 2016 Honda Odyssey drive perfect after 4 years of buying new took it to many road trips hopefully it hit 72k to 75k miles while driving to Florida
Love it, everytime Scotty makes a reference to a junkyard, he shows a picture of a Chevrolet dealership.
I have to disagree, at least with my 2007 civic hybrid. It’s dangerously slow, the interior is falling apart. The hybrid batteries have problems so Honda made it so it doesn’t use the hybrid very much, which makes it slow and get just “ok” gas mileage.
they do have IMA battery problems but if youre willing to hook up a balancing grid charger you can make it last virtually indefinitely
Me, who just bought a Honda over a Toyota: YAS
Accord gang
Civic Type-R is very Good choice...
@@Honestandtruth007 this is true
I must just have the worst luck on earth cause the three Hondas I've owned have been garbage and I'm not hard on them
@@nothing2see315 what models did you have?
Loving my used 09, 1.8 for the last 1.5 years. Going to run it until the wheels fall off.
I wouldn't mind a manual one, but for the cost it might be cheaper to just buy the regular gas manual ones. The engines are tiny anyway in civics.
Bought my 99 Corolla 1 month ago. 142k runs like a champ. Paint is faded, runs like a dream . A/C BLOWS ICE COLD.
You should talk about what it takes to maintain a hybrid engine
Just don’t buy one, they suck. Best advice anyone could give ya if you care about making it to your destination every time
In my case...zero. Like Scotty says, this particular model, which I own, is built as an "assist." You must use a very thin oil (0W20). There has been some controversy over the Hybrid Battery Pack and a Honda software update used to cover up battery failures. I never took that update and had my battery pack replaced under warranty at no cost. Honda DID get in trouble though in a class action lawsuit and I got a check for $200 in some sort of settlement. If someone needed to get a replacement hybrid battery pack the key would be to visit with bumblebee batteries that builds better than OEM ones with 3 year warranties or remans with a one year warranty for about 1200-1500.
I owned six different first generation Prius. Bought new 2001, traded to dealer for new 2002. Drove that 219k miles & at about 105k replaced a wheel bearing & a water pump. Found a 2002 still in warranty, bought it & sold mine. Repeated that three more times. No other repairs. Never had to replace brake pads due to regen braking! Always 40 to 45 mpg. Most reliable & economical cars I’ve had!
Mike Harris but you said you owned six....
James Hunt: So you can count! You win the fur-lined piss pot! My iPad battery was dying so I did not get to talk about the 2001 I bought in Australia & drove for a year. It was great, except for accidental meeting with an emu!
I drive one of these. Scotty is right - best car I ever had😂👍 They even run purely electric in city traffic for short distances, they even close the engines valves via iVtec to stop pumping losses when doing so. Very well engineered car - greetings from Germany
No car manufacturer can produce the longevity of a Toyota.
with the top spot taken by Honda. Only one in every 344 Honda owners have had engine trouble, with second-placed rival Toyota notching up just one in 171.
This is why I love my 89 Honda CRX HF! It runs 50 mpg in the city and 56mpg on highway! I have yet to run into any other car that can beat it! It's all stock D15b6! 275,000 miles and still running like a champ! That's why I take good care of it! Going to rebuild the engine when it gives up and give it to my 8 year old when he turns 16 and gets his license! He's going to have to learn to appreciate and respect cars before I give him the keys to this car! Maybe by 2030 I'll probably have to sell it because we're ALL going to have to have hybrids or electric cars by then! The only Toyota's I respect are from the 80's,90's and up to 2004! Cars and trucks! Good video Scotty!
I have a 2010 Honda Insight and so far it has 210,000 miles on it and still driving strong.
I recently got a 2021 Insight touring. I hope it lasts as long as yours! So far I love it!
I had the same year in a regular civic coupe with the space ship gauge package. The Automatic in it shifted weird from day one but always worked. The only problem I had was a cv joint going out at around 30,000 miles but they fixed it under warrenty. Overall a good reliable car, while not overly powerful.
I'm looking forward to get a Honda CRZ which is a hybrid with a standard transmission
The Prius power split device isn't the same as a CVT. It has the same end result to someone driving the car, but it works in a completely different way. (It doesn't have any belts, it's completely electronic, and it's maintenance free.)
Hi Scotty. Look forward to seeing your videos every day. Thank you.
hello and thank you!
Me laughing in my Honda Insight as I pass all the old Prius’s broken on the side road
The Insight is nice... that’s what the Accord should have looked like
In 2020, I tried to make a deal with a Honda dealer for a new Insight. They weren’t selling but the dealer would not lower the price any. It was $25k. I bought a used 2015 Accord EXL, low mileage for $15.5k. Now the Insight is out of production, as is Clarity.
Honda is equivalent to Toyota but I like Toyota for the mere fact of using timing chains vs belts!
This car uses a timing chain. Honda is going on 20 years of using chains now.
Yea I haven't seen any newer Honda with a belt, but it hasn't been 20 yrs
2012 Honda Accord SE with over 💯 k miles checking in. Will buy another Honda. Had a toyota Yaris before that as my daily commuter no room for traveling, no power, road noise but gas mileage was very good and only had to change out water pump
There was an interesting reason why the Honda hybrids didn't sell as well as the Prius - because they didn't SCREAM "hybrid."
A substantial proportion of Prius owners bought their cars so they would be SEEN driving a Prius.
Nothing about the Honda hybrid SCREAMED "This is a hybrid, the driver is BETTER THAN YOU."
@videoArchiveGuy is 100% correct. It's all about the virtue signaling.
Not true, civic hybrid is notorius for lower than avg mpg, mine got only 40 mpg driven very conservatively.
10 mpg more in a prius comes out to thousands in gas savings over 300k miles thats why people buy them
@@morrisl7 I think both can "compulsive virtue signaling" and "better gas mileage" can both be true at the same time.
And a $1600 used car that gets 40 mpg, why not!?!
@@morrisl7 It is true. There are certainly some for which MPG was the issue, but virtue signaling was also a huge factor.
The energy in these videos are amazing haha!
He's amazing! Caffeine?
My friend had one of these but the transmission crapped out
I like that modified civic in the background
I’ve been waiting for this video as I’m thinking of buying a Honda CR-Z.
Don't think, just buy. I owned CR-Z for 10 years and traded in 2 months ago with tears on my eyes just because I needed a bigger car. All I did for maintenance is just fluids and tire change. Changed the 12v battery after 110k km (!) The IMA battery was still in perfect condition. No issues with engine or transmission. And if you go for the MT, you'd never regret. Amen.

Does anyone else quickly run outside and rev up their engines when KIlmer tells us to in the intro? Because I do.
On my third hybrid civic. 2093 sold at 284,000 miles ran great,sold it bought 2007. Sold that at 278,009 miles . Consistently got 52 mpg on the 03 and 07 same motor.. 1.3. Sold the 07 bought a 2012. At 122,000 and running strong. Only repair out of all 3 was a rear wheel bearing on the 07 about 6 months before I sold it.
Did the ima battery every die on them?
@FleeSwervinn ..no..never did... the light would come on sometimes.. mostly in hot summer and running the a/c
These drive surprisingly well too, the handling is good, especially compared to a Prius.
1992 Honda Civic LX with manual transmission and manual windows, a 1990 Honda Accord LX with manual transmission and manual windows will last forever
I sold my Honda Civic hybrid when I bought the first Prius Plug-In......2 months later the Civic owner said the CVT crapped out and had to be replaced. Nine years later, my Prius with 130,000 miles and wife's 2002 Highlander with 260,000 miles are running like a swiss watches.
I miss my 1987 Honda CRX HF . I was getting 55 miles per gallon on just gasoline . No hybrids back then . It was was white with blue interior . No air conditioning or power steering and no power windows . It was a great car .
You should do a video with an original honda insight. That was the best hybrid ever made, and most hybrids still havent beat its like 80 mpg on the highway
Sadly the new hondas aren’t as good as the old ones
That’s kinda with any car now. More plastic parts for you
@@romansroad2007 true the quality isn’t there like when I was a kid but as we all know Toyota is still the best you can get

Today Thursday i was scheduled to pick up my 2009 Rav4 from Prince George Toyota in BC Canada. They have had the car since tuesday noon, the job was VVT gear replacement, a routine parts replacement job on the 2ARFE. The service manager there is not qualified to tie the laces on a pair of slip on shoes. Tried to tell me that the upper timing chain guide was not removed for this job, and also that in order to replace the upper timing chain guide, they would have to remove the timing chain cover, and keep the car for an additional day. In addition, he insulted me by, adding the " let me see if I can explain whats going on here" when he was telling me this fairy tale. So this afternoon, at an hour before closing time, guess what,,,they cant get it going, and have no idea why, nor when it will be ready. I was in the service bay with the person doing the work, as well as the guy they call a service manager, and it was the customer telling the other two, how to set up the new gears, and i saw two deers in the headlights. I had to rent a car and drive two hours to my home here in Mackenzie. my car is in pieces, at a place where they have no clue, Prince George Toyota Service. After a lifelong love affair with Toyota, the useless idiots at the dealership have just sold new SUV for Honda. I am pissed, disgusted, and totally amazed how a so called service manager could turn out to be, not at a sleazebag dump, but a major dealership. A dealership that employs people I would be dissapointed to see at the sleazebag joint, not a real, or so called real dealership. now here I sit with a rental POS, no idea about what used to be a good running car, and shop the Honda people, and tell anyone who cares about my wonderful, joyful experience with,,,Prince George Toyota, please bring your own service advice, and a replacement vehicle, as yours is now junk, thanks to us....wow.
I’m so early I only have to read through 100 other comments!
I'm glad Scotty is fluent in sign language. Otherwise I wouldn't be able to understand him
I had a manual CRZ. Loved it!
Let's talk about the SI behind you lol
So…. it’s really “Here’s why a Honda Civic is cheaper and last longer and than a Prius”
Got a Scion tC 2008 with 70k miles for 7800. Thoughts?
Scotty is that guy that tells you honda lasts longer but he ends up buying a Toyota 🤣
Well if you have ever had either youd know why youd get a toyota overall
Scotty Honda's are great but don't switch your favorite car to Honda! 😥😀
I love my 2014 lexus with 140,000 miles, but dollar for dollar my 2013 accord sport cost half the price and has had 0 issues. I've put 130,000 miles it only have done tires brakes and a larger battery that's it, car is amazing....
I ran two 2003 Honda Civic 5 speed manuals Hybrids to 300,000miles hardly any problems at all. I bought both used. Now drive none Hybrid Civics for more power.
I bought one of these in 2018. In the time I've had it, it's more than paid for itself in the gas savings. While it's true that you can't move off on electric power alone, it is possible when cruising at steady speeds between 15 - 30mph for the engine to shut off so that only the electric motor is driving the car. However if you need to accelerate the engine cuts in again.
Why does a hybrid even have a "starting" battery?
That's never made sense to me.
Can't they just take 12v off the "propulsion" battery?
The hybrid system for some reason cannot start the engine if it's ridiculously cold so it starts off the tiny little starter that might never even be used in its life otherwise. I've had a multitude of Honda hybrids and it only ever got cold enough for me to hear the starter once.
On the opposing end, if the 12v battery is dead the computer cannot operate to tell the hybrid system to start the engine.
It's funny, you can have a fully charged 144v hybrid setup (as in this car in the video) but it won't do anything if the traditional battery is dead.
My 2005 civic hybrid was phenomenal. After 3 yrs, 60K miles with original tires and brake pads, I sold it and just lost $3K🤣. I got 48MPG easily and I drove it hard all the time. The car was fun going twisty downhill road because of the engine braking but it was a dog going up😬
4:25 22-year-old civic owner here, can confirm the existence of NYEE NYEE NYEE NYEE start sounds
GREAT INFO! just bought a 2005 Saturn Vue AWD it has the Honda 3.5 V6 and the Honda Tranny. It's a Sleeper SUV 106k miles rust free. Got OEM Restored Wheels and Nokian Tires gave her a detail she looks like a 3 year old vehicle. I expect to get well over 200k miles. Luckily I have my own "Scottie" my great friend is a master mechanic charges me $20.00 an hr labor after hours.
Don't discount the fact that the Prius looks more like a hybrid vs. the Civic hybrid which looks almost exactly like a Civic. Do hybrid owners care more about horsepower, or do they care more about signaling to others that they made the "green choice"?
LOL to the junk yard at 8:53
Got a 2012 Honda civic LX 3 years ago went from 60k miles to 120k miles 70 percent highway 30 percent city. 32.6mpg simple. all I had to do is change the oil and filter and change the cabin and reg air filter cause they were dirty from the diesels I went by. I have had 3 civic all 4 cylinders just got a newer model after 300k miles and they drove like it did when I got them elite vehicle
Funny story about hondas reliability.
I was driving down the road one day and noticed a honda civic in the weeds at an abandoned house, found out who the owner of the house was and got in contact with them and ended up buying it 1989 civic hatchback. Went to the abondoned house and it had trees and vines growing threw the engine bay it hadnt ran in years. I threw. Battery in it and it started right up i used clippers to cut the tree branches and vines out of it and drove it home about 20min away and had the car still i was hit in the rear by a pick up truck. After that one i found another one on offer up went and bought it for 800$ and drove it home about an hour, when i pulled the valve cover the sludge was so bad you couldnt see the cams or rockers anymore lol but it drove to my house. I still have that hatchback 4 years later lol
I have other stories similar to these two in could go on and on about hondas dependability when properly maintained they can run forever even when abused they just keep going and going
As a Honda Fit owner I appreciate this video
Was hoping they'd bring the updated Fit they released in Asia to the US. Instead the discontinued the car.☹
My 03 civic hybrid was a strange car but I loved it. The big hybrid battery was definitely bad but it's still ran and operated fine, it would just need to be jumpstarted maybe once or twice a month out of the blue and my hybrid battery would be very low after fully charging on my drive.
