Scotty is a man who appreciates value, just as I do.
The trend on social media seems to be geared towards speed first and quality last but normal people know that quality conquers all
My brother had a Honda Fit. He always said it was bigger on the inside then the outside 😂😂😂
Is your brother a Doctor?? lol
@@mcc7762 Right, you can fit them in anywhere.
@@mcc7762 you can fit a v6... There's a ton of room on the back side of the motor
That's what I say for my mitsubishi colt too.
@@mcc7762 I always said idk why Honda doesn't make a fit SI , with leather, a 6 SPD, and a small turbo, and some mods from the factory, to have something different out there.. Then ,Toyota did that with that new little wagon. The front end on my wife fit reminds me of an older civic SI,
I traded in my 2017 Dodge Journey for a 2017 Toyota RAV4. It rides rougher than the Journey, but I feel better driving a Toyota than a Dodge. I listened to your advice Scotty, wanted to say 😊 thanks!
I would've done the same for peace of mind
My Mitsubishi Mirage rides better than my ‘89 Dakota and that’s saying something.
That was a smart trade!
I have a 2006 Rav4 and still runs great with no major issues.
I would have kept the dodge I had a camry worst car ever I had to drive my grandmas dodge grand carravan around for 3 months when my camrys engine went out at 145k. I'm on my second VW now and so happy I switched to VW.
Same here, I have a 2016 RAV4 - I can't figure out how Toyota managed 'stiff' and 'floaty' in one vehicle.
My friend has a Honda Fit, 213,000 miles with no issues
I personally don’t think the tiny Honda compact car looks stupid, Honda designed it well for what its supposed to be.
I think the newest version looks uglier than the older ones, but yeah, it's not that bad.
the Honda Fit is cooler than the Toyota Prius
@@JohnSmith-yl8sg exactly
@@hardonmymotor9743 - Yeah. It's better-looking.
@@yittmashups 2011 models look best
Just bought my daughter an 07 Honda Fit for going back and forth to college and I can honestly say it runs like a sewing machine and gets great gas mileage. All around awesome car. My daughter loves it and took to driving a manual in 10 minutes
My wife just sold her 09 fjt 5 SPD sport, she got a 2014 escape titanium BC she wanted something bigger and 4wd, I miss the fit. It barely ever needed anything other than maintenance , it had 205k and ran like new, even had the original clutch
@@richsweeney1115 went from one of the most reliable cars to one of the most unreliable cars lol
@@richsweeney1115 😂 I sold my 2013 Escape and bought a 08 Fit! I hated that pos escape, and really love my Fit!!
I hope your wife doesn’t have a the issues my escape did. It was always saying low on coolant, even though it was right on the line.
One mechanic said the coolant was leaking into the engine… there’s a TSB on it….
❤️🍀
Just wait until she puts coil overs on it and 200 tread wear tires and starts to rip around the mountain roads.
@@quantumlab9130 😂😂
Gave my 2010 Manual Toyota Yaris to my niece with 200000 miles on it 4 years ago. Still running with no issues.
Out of desparation I bought a 2002 Chrysler Sebring for $1,000 6 months ago. I call it the haunted car as I usually hear a different noise every time I drive it- with or without the key in the ignition... So far it does get me from point A to B 🤞
Honda Fit or Jazz in Europe is one of the best designed cars ever. One of few I would actually call genius.
I inherited one that dad got because you can flat tow them behind an RV and the Fit has an automatic. It is growing on me and I think it is amazing.
My wife has a 2017 Fit. It's a great city car and gas saver. On city it gets about 36mpg and on highway the average is 42mpg and sometimes 50 mpg.
I have a 2006 Rav4 that runs like a champ. I do the maintenance myself which I learned from Scotty, cleaning throttle body, cleaning MAF sensor and other stuff I didn't know I could do.
By the way, the Fit and Rav4 don't look stupid at all!!
That GT-Four is awesome! Thanks for sharing it with us Scotty!
I still have the Sega Rally game on the Sega Saturn. All I use is the Toyota Celica, and I win every Race! 🏁🏁🏁
Honda Fits are excellent cars. I got a used one for my mother years ago and it has been extremely reliable. Plus it's very easy for her to get in and out of (very important at her age).
when i bought my 07 Miata from Oceanside Cali in 2015 this guy in the service pulled in a Red Fit , it had 400k miles on it, I WAS SHOCKED
Bought my first car in 2017. 1998 subaru outback limited with 160,000 miles on it. An older couple had used it to pull their hot dog cart and had a bunch of service records. Paid $350 dollars for it it now has 375,000 miles The only thing i have done is replace the battery and a ball joint. That being said they had the head gaskets changed at 120,000. But still runs like a top!
The Price of a Honda Fit has just gone up ...
again .
You are just full of great info….keep the good videos coming! Thanks
I have a 1992 Toyota 2x4 pick up…..22RE engine….5 speed manual transmission…
0ver 900 thousand miles…..no leaks, no dents…no problem!!!
I love the Honda Fit it’s a great little car and definitely for right now - very practical and you’ll get your money’s worth! Nothing wrong at all with that little car!
Except that it's TINY and FUGLY!! I realize both are in the eye of the beholder, but that's how I behold it.
@@potatohead1423 it has a ton of room in it, and its one of the most reliable around...and noone cares what you think about the looks
My wife and I have owned seven Hondas since 1975. Civics mostly, along with a Prelude and CRX. We sold her awesome ‘98 Civic nine years ago and she really wanted a new 2013 Red Fit Sport. Nine years and 77,000 miles….. it’s been just as phenomenal as all the other Hondas we’ve owned. It’s really not as small as some people think….. roomy and reliable….ugly? Hey, it’s not a beautiful new Accord, but when it’s immaculately clean, that little red car really looks great! And, it’s my wife’s car, but I really enjoy zipping around in it!
And yes, I’m SO happy that it’s got a bulletproof five-speed automatic trans, and the car is normally aspirated.
We plan to keep it until the wheels fall off…….. and we know that ain’t happening…😂
@@donsailing1356 you should have got it in a standard
That 93 celica is gonna be in the Smithsonian one day
An entertaining video with the Fit, which my wife drives (2008) and your honest description of driving a r/h steering manual gearbox, lol. Being English, its second nature for me although not with a Celica but a Toyota Avensis 2.0l D4-D, which was a brilliantly smooth company car. Never had any problems with it & regularly achieved 50+mpg.
Great. Scotty just doubled the price for all used fits.
Glad I got my 2010 fit before the video.
@@mcc7762 ya I get that. Was sorta joking
5:13 “Smart people know where to spend their money “. Showgirl neons light pop up 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The gt-four is a gorgeous car
That and gen 3 integra are the best looking cars from that era. Still look awesome today.
Toyota Echo ...
Great car!! 587,000 still going😁
Wow I’ve never even looked at the tire pressure display in either of my cars. I really enjoy checking the tire pressure every week. Makes me feel more connected tonthe motoring experience
Personally I think the Honda Fit is a great looking car, super practical and apparently a really good chassis. They even race them in Japan! I have never understood why people drive big, empty trucks around the city, then complain about the price of petrol. 🤦🏻
Because the 'government' pretty much legislated big, empty cars out of existence. Regs on trucks are more lax, so they buy big trucks. You'll never get all of us Yanks to drive small cars...it's just how we are.
I have a 2.3L 2006 Mazda 3s Sedan (AT) Original motor auto transmission good power & shift great still with 325K Miles all for $300 from a neighbor down the road
Hi Scotty
I have loved the Celica GT4 for years. Toyota did sell Lhd versions here in the USA also. But having a Jdm GT4 would be awesome. Love your channel
😊
If Scotty ever opens his car dealer I’m a secure buyer I know I’m getting what I’m paying for trust him 100%.
I'm glad I got a 2010 civic exl with VSA stability control, that system combined with good tires saved me from spinning out numerous times!😅
My second car was an Opel Cadet wagon. Took it on a road trip from L.A. to Frisco. Engine blew up in Santa Cruz (well, the head gasket blew). Considering I forgot to put the radiator cap on before we left town, wha-da-ya expect. Brain cramp on me.
Took 2 days off my vacation....but makes a good story. Was back in about 1975.
Almost totally agree with scotty about the honda fit. My wife has an exact match. 2010 mod. Very good car, and has not let us down so far in terms of reliability. Always starts and runs fine. But when it comes to working space in the engine, it is quite tight. Don't expect good space..
i love my 2015 honda fit! great on gas. cheap to maintain. still runs strong
Scotty driving that Fit and feeling every bump I know myself I got a old Rio being so low to the ground you feel everything
I bought my Honda Fit new in 2007 . It’s got 194,000 miles on it now, but it runs like the day I bought it, perfect.
Great Video 📹 Scotty 👍😎 Glad to see you called it a tow hook on the RAV 4. Celica GT4 is something I have only seen it magazines and video games 🎮 lol 😆 Miss my Soobie...5 inches of clearance and 18 inches of snow ❄ 🙃 Not a big problem lol
That Celica definitely does not look stupid.
Noneof them do. The fit is one of the best cars you'll find.
I didn't know EGR valves were a thing of the past.
That's satisfying to know.
Thank you.
My parents' 2018 Buick Encore's motor crapped out at 42,000 miles because the turbo it comes with was putting too much pressure in the engine and the GDI system wasn't helping in the way of simplicity, while my 2007 Sebring is still running strong at 150k because it's NA and has regular SFI, and because I and the previous owner both properly serviced it at the right intervals. I took away 3 lessons from the whole ordeal:
- GM is crap
- Natural aspiration all the way/less is more with cars
- Chryslers aren't complete, 100% dog crap like everyone says
Great little Honda. Called the Jazz here. Love it.
honda fit Scotty you forgot to mention has timing chain big plus.
Thx for the information
I prefer the 2005 Buick LeSabre Custom delivered to my home yesterday. It has 75,925 miles and the wonderful 3800 V6. It is in mint condition.
That's worth some money these days!
I'd take any of these over a Buick anyday..
Thanks for the content. 👍
my tire guy in Sacramento, CA replaced my 4 tires & the TPMS units for $450 & with Mud/ snow tires. For my AWD system, that is a good deal. & they really work well in the rain.
Can't wait to sees scotty's review of the Smart Car.
Scotty: “ I’ve only spent $7k total on all the cars I’ve ever owned.”
[Then he drives this rally Celica] “I’ll give you $20k for it!!!” He knows what he likes.😂😂😂
That is a really cool car though. It's in that collector car realm so if he takes care of it, it's more likely to go up in value than down over time.
Out of desparation I bought a 2002 Chrysler Sebring for $1,000 6 months ago. I call it the haunted car as I usually hear a different noise every time I drive it- with or without the key in the ignition... So far it does get me from point A to B 🤞
I have owned 3 Hondas and they are the best cars I ever owned .I presently own a 2014 Honda Odyssey. Fantastic car.
Mr.Scotty I digg your channel fam!! You are on point with ya videos!!!! I digg it!!
Hey,still have my 97 Rav 4, still works great. Have less than 180,000. So many times (I think ) I'm going to sell,then need it to replace an injured main car temporarily. It just keeps running.
RAV4s are crazy. We’ve had many of the Generation 1s with well over 200k. Unfortunately living in the rust belt takes it’s toll. No rust on the body but have had frame rust issues after 20 plush years. Engine are under powered but run forever. Excellent in the snow.
The later generations are much better.
I have a 15 Scion XB with manual. Fun and Zippy, tons of space, and made in Japan.
The blinking headlights is your camera's shutter lense frequency picking up the electric frequency of the light 😎😉
The Fit is perfect for the money. Very reliable. I would buy one 💰
Man what I would do to have that celica! What a beautiful car
Always great infotainment.
Scotty’s Celica seeing the GT-Four *why do I hear boss music?*
I have a 2011 Nissan Versa,1.8 "4-speed automatic" with 250k miles. Parts still falling but still rolling
That's a beautiful Celica ♥️
Three pound sledge is a gift from God. i would bang out the doors and fenders, sand down what's there and body fill the waves. i had Chevys and Buicks i could push out the bent fenders with my foot, climbing in the trunk....
I got my Fit in 2008 standard transmission. I am the original owner. I drive it like a race car!!! It has 152K miles and I live in Minnesota. I will run it another 20 years or more and might be buried in it. Nothing breaks on this thing. My Brother and Sister keep whining about how I need to get a new care. Ridiculous!. I pay 350 dollars a year for insurance and my tabs are 50 bucks. It has a timing chain!!!!. I don't have to replace the belt. They stopped selling them in the US and Canada. I am bummed. I love this car.
1. Honda Fit
2. Toyota RAV4
3. Toyota Celica
My fav little car is our 2006 Pontiac Vibe. Awkward looking as all get out. But dirt cheap to maintain. Never had a failure other than the crappy Pontiac radio/cd player after 15 years. We love this little car. Super solid and all the parts are Toyota. 2022 and gets 29 around town and 33 doing 80+. Upgraded to Michelin Defender tires and full synthetic errrl. Love the handling.
Mostpeople like the vibe...
Fantastic! Awesome video!
.I have a 2.3L 2006 Mazda 3s Sedan (AT) Original motor auto transmission good power & shift great still with 325K Miles all for $300 from a neighbor down the road.
I personally love the design of the Rav4 as long as it has it’s tire on the back
Better looking than those boxes with wheels on em
If the noise bothers you, $75 in insulating material makes all the difference, if you want to do it yourself. Pop out the rear seat and side panels. Cover the floor and sides with Kilmat/Noico 80 mil sound mat ($70 for 36 sqft, enough to do my car). I went fancy for the floor and put in 1/2" marine closed cell foam, but the butyl sheets work fine and didn't need to get around to the headliner or front floor panels. There's little sound deadening in the rear and almost zero on the side panels and doors. Even your stereo will sound better... more bass.
The last and the previous North America Honda Fit keep they're value very well now.Good on gas , spacious inside and very reliable!
Unlike the first 2 cars, Celica does not look stupid. To the contrary, it looks beautiful 😍
None of them are stupid looking. You probably know nothing about cars.
Excellent share Scotty 👌
Great video.
You can always put a little piece of tape if you don't like looking at that little stupid light 😁 love you Scotty 💪
That Celica will be a classic one day
I bought in the 90s its Rival car. A Lancia delta integrale
It was always broken. A nightmare
Great video
I would love that Honda Fit, but my family says it's too small.
Luv. My. '08 Fit.
Supremely versatile interior, and you can fit a crazy amount inside if utilizing a reclined passenger seat (2 full sized dressers, 2 nightstands, and a bunch of odds and ends from IKEA). Engine and transmission are same as a Civic so it will last forever with proper maintenance.
The bottom of th rear seats fold up too, so you ca put a big flat-screen or whatever behind the front seats
I wish I could adopt this man and learn about cars
We had a Honda Fit briefly and it was perfect! Great mpg, easy feeling maintenance. Unfortunately we had to give it away
Why..??
why
Why?
Dude, I get it!! Did the same thing with a Toyota several years back but for a good cause. Found my way back to a manual transmission Fit and hope it'll last for another 14 years!
Why.
Amazing that Celica I love it!
gt4 is so nice
My wife and I love her 2019 Honda Fit. However....I sure wish it did NOT have that Earth Dreams engine... I change the oil every 3k miles to avoid the oil dilution problem.
Glad to know the older models don't have that!
The early Honda Fit (Jazz) downunder had auto cvt problems, car would shudder on slight incline on takeoff - cvt start clutch failure, remove tranny & strip $$$. Quite common.
Don’t buy early Honda cvt’s.
Hello Scotty from Norfolk, Virginia !!
Can confirm I had my Honda Fit 2008 till just recently. The only issues I really had was the driver side window power motor had to be replaced twice and the coil packs if you buy cheap they don't last long. Other than that it ran like a champ. I had 180,000 miles and made the switch to a 2023 Ford Ranger. Hopefully it lasts just as long. 16 years is a LONG time for a reliable vehicle. If you can find one with low mileage grab it!
I have 08 Yaris 2 door hatch with 285k plus miles . Love it for gas mileage.
Had the '07 same model, but base without radio, no power windows, no power locks, manual transmission. Bought it new and had that thing for years, ended up selling it. I didn't know what I had then, but oh well. I still can't believe manual transmission vehicles are pretty much a thing of the past! At this point I joke they're pretty much a secondary anti-theft device, but sadly true, lol!
I just picked one up, 208k I’m hoping to keep it as long as I can and have fun with it
Muchas gracias Scotty
Well I have to say one thing my wife has a 2010 honda fit sport with 490k miles and yes I take care the car every 40k miles a change transmission fluid with honda fluid and the engine oil every 4000k miles still running no problem if the car brake down I definitely get other one 👍 they last if you take care them
The Honda Fit is a hot seller in the Silicon Valley where people are into pilates. The same car is sold in Ethiopia, but it's called the Honda Fat.
per wheel, toyota and lexus tire sensors are $78.00 each at Bell tire, installed.
Scotty says the Honda handles like a dream?.....try driving a BMW......the ultimate driving machine
We've had three Toyota Prius's , 2001 sold with 223k miles. Everything worked fine. 2006 Prius , sold with 255k miles, AC stopped working and didnt want to bother fixing it because of cosmetics. and a 2010 which we still have, runs great, burns a little oil, has 198k miles. We still have the 2010 Prius, but also drive a Tesla now. Prius has been a great car.
Coming from the uk and being used to right hand drive cars when I went to Europe and had to drive on the right side of the road I found it very little problem with the gear shift like everything else you get used to it as I’m sure the owner of the celica has
Thats why I just got a Toyota Avalon, trd version. I'm gonna baby it and enjoy cruises well into 250k+ miles
Just came back from Jamaica and they have the Honda City. Same engine. Taxi driver had over 300k on the odometer and it still purrs
Fits here costs a fortune, I was thinking about buying one (I like small cars) endup with a Toyota Etios which is significantly less expensive and almost as good, I will probably consider buy and used fit if I ever sold my Toyota, which is unlikely, it works great, I change oil every 6000-7000 km, all filters, tranny fluid every 30k km, I need to change coolant, 5 year old HOAT, didn't knew that the valve adjustment must be done with a hot engine, always learn from you, thank you
Those Honda fits will go anywhere!
A year ago, I nabbed up a 09 fit Sport, with 6 speed. Love that car. My a/c doesn’t work… but the clutch works? Odd, it holds Freon, clutch kicks on but won’t cool. I can hear Freon charging in the inside heat exchanger. Besides that, I’d buy it again!
I didn't know the 09 fit had a 6 speed transmission.
@@JamesSmith-dn8lb ahhh, 5spd sorry… I call it a 6 all the time. Lol it’s a 5
My 2008 fit had valve job and new plugs but only able to get 22 mpg. Runs great and I drive conservative.
I bought a 85 Toyota Celica gt15 years ago and it still runs great it's got over 400 thousand km
They are great cars
