    Because I'd lived in Japan for a couple years more than 50 years ago and drive a couple Toyotas each with high miles on them I was especially receptive when another Toyota driver at the gas pump said, "You know why Japanese Toyotas are better throughout? Because everyone involved believes it would be dishonorable to do less than a perfect job."

    • @markkoons7488
      @markkoons7488 Před 3 lety +8

      That was my experience of the Japanese in relation to their work in the 1960s. In fact, Japan had, and I assume still has, a set of laws addressing professional responsibility. Essentially, if you are paid to do a job you are a professional and are personally liable for your work. I look around at the half-assed work we sometimes pay for here and think somebody ought to go to be jailed and forfeit their personal assets to compensate their victims.

From a dead stop, this thing is slower than molasses flowing uphill on a sub-zero day, but once you get going, it accelerates just fine. It handles like a dream, too. Seriously, this thing can corner like a sports car and is smoother than butter on the road.

I don’t mean to turn anyone off but I work for toyota and I see these at the service center all the time for transmission issues, typically the mileage is anywhere from 55k to 80k. I was hoping Toyotas version of the CVT would be it, but sadly it’s not. We currently have 4 CHRs in the service with transmission issues, but the good news is that the they hold their trade in value very well.

    I'm so excited you reviewed the C-HR. I just bought one in October and I love it! And I bought a Toyota because I've been watching your videos Scotty. I had a 2018 Ford EcoSport and I liked it okay, but it was already coming apart in a couple of areas in the dashboard and it road like a bucket of bolts. I had driven a 2006 Ford Fusion for 12 years before that and loved it, so went back to Ford for that reason. I was just excited to get the new technology in a car and bought the EcoSport on the spot! But as the story goes, regretted it a bit as time went on. I was thinking of trading or selling and was watching car videos when I came across you. So glad I did! I was able to sell my EcoSport for more than I owed and turned around and bought the C-HR. I had never seen one before and fell in love. My husband went over it with a fine toothed comb and said "buy it." So I did! Loving it!! Thanks Scotty! Now I'm hooked on your videos and believe I will be a Toyota customer from now on.

      @@moeanthony9308 Well, bucket of bolts is probably unfair. It was fine around town and I liked the size of it. Horrible on the highway though, and that's where the "bucket of bolts" comes in. Lol! But the quality of the C-HR is so much better for the same price. Also, I averaged 19 MPG around town in the EcoSport and with the C-HR, even not broken in yet, I am getting 25 to 26 in town. So the difference all around in quality of the build and mpg is pretty drastic to me, for vehicles in the same category and price range.

I do my oil change every 5k miles with tire rotation (technically you can do 10k) , change Engine and Cabin filter together every 25k miles. Wheel alignment after 3 years. Change tire at 50k Miles.

    Good review, Scotty. I always enjoy yours. I won't say it's a great-looking vehicle, but it's not boring. (I think that big under-cladding is ugly, though I'm sure it's to protect the paint.) TBH, I think what some folks call dull makes some cars look classy ... such as the Camry a couple generations back. Or the 1994-6 era 4Runner, which I think is gorgeous, sedate. I did like the interior here and I like that you pointed out things I hadn't heard--the CVT's quality, the great seats. Some complain that the rear seats are hard for kids to see out, and folks should be aware they're FWD only.
