    Was long before I was Mr Maintenance Man but I did change the oil once in a while.
    40+ mpg and delivered pizza too!
    Lived in it for a while even.

    To those that are unsure what kind of Push Mower to get, just get any brand that has a Honda Engine on it.

    I absolutely loved my 1985 5 speed cable clutch accord it ran for me to 450k miles
    In which I sold it in 2009
    Car was still in showroom condition.
    I then bought a 1989 accord with the flip up headlights also 5 speed
    That car was a nightmare of issues. The synchronizers in the transmission went out 4 times in two years.
    Along with a list of problems that car the engine blew at 260k miles.
    Then I went to a 95 accord automatic sedan
    That was a nice trouble free car but got stolen at 300k miles and find stripped to the frame.
    I then bought a 2001 civic that car was trouble free from 100k miles bought used til the transmission suddenly went out without warning at 132k miles.
    And Honda wouldn’t do anything about it even tho it was a huge class action lawsuit for it. But cuz Honda said the warranty was only up to 120 miles I think they knew they mostly blew around my mileage or under…
    I’ve had a few newer ones since.
    Always get a manual if possible they’re automatic are not so good.with Hondas
    I’ve owned or now own or in my family 2010 Prius 2007 rav4 and 08 Yaris
    None have had any transmission issues and all automatic and my 2010 matrix lived til 350k miles the torque converter went out cost more then the car

    HI Scotty, i wasnt sure what video to put this question on but i got a scan code on my 2002 chevy cavalier that read U1096 and U1000. Does this mean its just something on my instrumental panel or maybe a problem with PCM/ECU module? Or maybe because a mouse even chewed a wire? Car left me stranded a couple times in warm and below freezing temperatures. But i wouldnt even know where to start looking at all the wires. Do you have any thoughts on this code? Thank you.

    I have a 99 Civic si in Boy i tell you what I have compliments all the time!!!! People are like wow man that looks awesome I'm like yeah it sat for 12 years. I brought it back to life lot of blood sweat and tears..but I tell you what under 200k on it it still runs like a monster!!!! Sometime I should bring it down to you..

      My 99 LX civic had automatic transmission problems so I dumped it after six months and trade it up for a 2000 black EX with a five speed and loved it until it.
      There was also undisclosed damage on the brand new 99 LX civic so I threatened the dealer with a lawsuit and got the 2000 EX for actually less than what the 99 LX cost!! I have never used that dealership after that.

    This goes to Mr Scotty Kilmer, first and foremost I want to thank you for such an incredible video that you have put together on the history of Honda and Toyota. I as well believe that they have been the 2 best auto makers in the last 25+ years here in the United States. I follow your channel and I must say that you are a very wise and informative mechanic who's 30 years of automotive knowledge allows me to take all angles in consideration when I'm thinking about purchasing a vehicle. I do have a question for you, I have been considering drifting in a different direction with my next purchase because there seems to be a lot of reviews floating around making the new 2023 Kia Telluride / Hyundai Palisade Calligraphy model a vehicle that is top of the line in all it's aspects. So I was wondering what is your take on these two companies and these two vehicles? I would appreciate any information that it's not being shared or released to the public that will help me decide on either one or to stay away, thanks

    My CL7 Accord has 180k km on the clock. Best car ever imo.
    I don't have the bells and whistles in it, it's the base model, but I put a powerful android radio into it along with 4 alpine speakers, I don't really miss Cruise control and heated seats that much.

    What are your views on the protection plans offered by Toyota dealers? I was recently up sold a three year plan (Assurant) for my recently purchased 2009 RAV4 4WD that has more than 140k miles.

    The 2009 civic automatic
    We’re not so great with their transmissions. They shudder and randomly slip
    And many have reported hearing what sounds like a marble being bounced around inside the transmission. It was found to be a spacer ball bearing
    It’s made of plastic with tiny beads half in and out around edges. Eventually plastic disintegrated and bearings got loose

    For the Honda heads I heard that the 6th or 7th generation accords (2000-2003ish) 6 cylinders specifically were notorious for transmissions dying way sooner for some reason, never understood why. All I knew was that all my mechanic friends told me to steer clear of accord 6 cylinders made close to 2000.

    The 2012 civic Si wasn’t included in the customer complaints. Honda still revamped it the very following year along with the rest of the civics anyway
