*Shout, "Rally" faster!*

0:00 Honda Fit 6:37 Mazda CX-5 18:55 Honda Accord
Thank you!!!!
Doing God's work 😅
Buy Toyota, buy these instead, don't buy this buy Honda, don't buy Honda, buy this car instead of Toyota. I love Toyota, but don't buy these buy Honda. It gets confusing what to get from episode to episode. I may buy a Mazda now.
Now i’m even confused which car to buy and i’m on a tight budget too😂😂😂. Scotty will send person to early grave
Mazda is the best choice nowadays 👍
😂that's what I thought. I did like the Mazda X5. Now, I want the Honda Fit. smh
“Nobody knows about this car so you can get it cheap!”
*looks up price* DAMNIT SCOTTY COULDNT YOU HAVE TEXTED ME FIRST?
You guys actually take this guy serious?
2007 honfa fit. Manual 5 sp. Was rusted. Bought cheap. Welded all repairs solid repairs. Set valves. Runs incredibly well! 40 mpg. No payments...
Back seat good for tall people?
@@Normalhowaboutyou fits are renowned for tons room and cargo space. !!
@@blazeboyblazeboy4470 I really like them. I may get one with a manual shift. If I do, I will look to find the largest and widest tires possible to absorb additional bumps and road noise
Watching the video and realizing it was recorded right behind my neighborhood. Small world. I really like and learn a lot from you. Thank you.
My 2009 honda fit has 300k miles and runs like a charm.
My 2004 Corolla has 250k. 😄
Bought a 09 FIT new.......my son has it now, 300K+ miles. At 200K miles halfshafts failed, Honda replaced them as they had rusted, GREAT car.
Yeah Scotty is a Toyota fan (most are great cars) but he also likes Honda (especially if they are built in Japan) and he will tell you Mazda and other brands are good vehicles if he tests them and thinks it is a good vehicle. Hell he says there are some good Hyundai vehicles (I’m a Hyundai lover with previous great cars) but he tells the truth from his experience with many cars. To me his experience (55+ years) is what I want to hear. Buy what you want but, Scotty will provide you his experience. Buy what you want and live with what you purchase, good, bad or ugly. Scotty only tells you what he thinks.
I live in Canada, i had a Honda fit 2007 and just sold it due to the rust all the rest was Nice, now I have a fit 2014 and so far so good, perfect for the city.
2001 Toyota Taco, nearly 200,000 miles, I don’t hardly go anywhere, I like it so much I put new leather memory foam seats in it. Nothing has ever gone wrong. Oil changes, tires, and an occasional Interstate battery has all it has ever needed
When the USAF announced development of the 6th Gen fighter, Scotty advised them, “Just get a Toyota.”
😂😂😂
😂😂
We are all ears 👂🏻
Yeah, and Scotty is right!!! 😊
😂😂😂
The Honda fit design was just outstanding! I have a 2009 with no issues what so ever , that car can hold and carry so much it replaced my truck for light duty stuff.
Have a 2010. Runs great. Best car we ever have owned. Very cheap to run and maintain. Sorry they quit making them.
I'm really happy with my 2016 CX-5. 2.5L conventionally aspirated engine, Mazda's 6-speed automatic. 2WD is all I need in Texas.
107K on the clock, no oil burning yet, religious about oil changes with 0W20 synthetic every 5K miles, transmission fluid drain and refill every 50K.
So far 25 mpg in town and 29 on trips. For that roomy a car, pretty good I figure.
Not a hint of trouble so far. What's not to like about that?
I own a 2015 Lexus RX350 with 165K miles. It looks and drives like a new car. Buy quality and keep it serviced, and you will never go wrong.
i had an is250 manual transmission i miss that thing yes i confirm your statement about lexus is true !
@rogersiples3335 My 2015 rx350 F-sport drives like new. Bought with low miles and maintained regularly. The best decision we made with a vehicle purchase. You can't go wrong with a Toyota manufactured vehicle. Thankfully, we purchased it during the pandemic from Carlotz, which gave us a sweet deal!
💯
My 2001 Toyota Camry LE is the best car I've ever owned! 161k original miles on the engine and paid only $2700 out the door
$2,700? In 2001?
@@dangrimes5078maybe 27,000
Tires with some more sidewall will help your Matrix. It greatly improved my Vibe.
Brand?
This channel is very informative and very helpful in finding the best cars. Thank you, Scotty!
ALWAYS KEEP A SPARE CAR..
I own a 2020 Acura ILX with the 2.4L engine mated to an 8 speed dual clutch transmission. Over 200hp from the factory and over 34mpg on the freeway.
K24 engines are bulletproof 🎉
Scotty is right.We are far from the time to drive EVs, as a daily drive. So, try to maintain your car specially if you have manual transmission to drive it forever. And no turbo engine as well.
Bought a Kia picanto 2013 have had it now for 11 years, have done 130k miles on it and im looking for a new car now, good Scotty can help 😁HONDA, TOYOTA,.. TOYOTA, HONDA... HONDA, TOYOTA.. sometimes Mazda 😁
I enjoy these longer videos. Thanks, Scotty.
I absolutely love my fit, it’s never given me a problem but I’m so tired of driving manual. I want a minivan
So if VIN starts with J,that means it’s made in Japan?
Yup 😊
My wife has a Honda Fit 2017, 70k miles, CVT. It was made in Mehico and still solid, strong, reliable, gas saver and smooth.
They sure sell cars for a lot less on the East Coast 😮
I rented a 2023 Honda Aacord for about 3 days. I was disappointed with the ride and noise from road and engine, for a car with only 6,000 miles. This was surprising from Honda's Top Line car. On the other hand, it had plenty of power, handling was great and controls where good. I would perfer a Toyota Camary ( with 6 cyl. ) better. Only problem is hard to enter and exit rear seat.
I'm looking for a car for my son. My choices are Hyundai Elantra, Honda Accord, or Toyota (Camry or Corolla)
Which one would YOU get?
He has a Hyundai with 200,000 miles on it that his friend gave him. If I get a Honda, I have to find someone who can put a shield around the catalytic converter.
With Hyundai's, I have to pay attention to the year because certain years are easy to steal.
Three vehicles that we will never see on this list - Chrysler 200, Fiat 500, Dodge Caravan. You could probably bet money on that. Problem is the odds are going to be something like 9/5 so the payout won't be much.
I had a Honda Airwave (it's Fit Estate) it was bullet proof .. didn't like the CVT gearbox but it never let me down
I just rolled over 200K miles on my 2013 Honda Fit. Other than a transmission sensor that had to be replaced inexpensively I've had zero problems with it. I hope to keep it for another 200K!
3 years ago I bought a 2011 Honda Accord. I'm in about $15k on this car because the dealer I bought it from are scumbags that sold it to me without even inspecting it and I had to spend almost $2k to get it driving right. Last week some old lady totally sideswiped the car. $4200 in damages. I just can't win in life. Now I'm driving an ugly car. But hey, at least it's a Honda. Might not look good, but it will get me where I need to go for years to come.
Expensive lesson but never stop learning. It may seem frustrating now but eventually your effort will pay off
Did you have full coverage? Insurance will cover the damages. I don’t care what anyone says, I would have only liability no matter how old the car is. I even kept full coverage on my old 02 Civic.
Made some good money on it when it hailed and did a claim and kept the money
@@edb484 Depends how much damage there is. If the entire side of the car needs to be repaired or replaced (doors, fenders, quarter panel).. then insurance would total the vehicle. If the costs of repairs exceeds 65% of the fair market value, insurance totals the car. Quick search of an EX 2011 Accord sedan shows a fair market value of just under $5,000. So $3,250 would be 65% and the level which insurance would deem it totaled. And then insurance will give you a check for what your car is worth (5k) and then take your car to sell it for scrap value.
Body work is NOT cheap these days. Paint and body repair for a bad sideswipe, is definitely more than $3,200.
Thats why its not always smart to carry full coverage if you drive an older car.
We all WISH insurance would spend $10 grand to fix our 1996 Honda Civic when we got into a wreck, but thats not how it works. They deem the car totaled. Then you decide, do I want to keep my Honda that runs great? And spend my own money fixing it? Or do I want insurance to take my car and write me a check that isnt enough to get a good car.
Unless you have a special policy for a classic car or a policy adjusted to the value you prove its worth (which means an expensive monthly payment).
All told... I've spent WELL OVER $50,000 on my Accord (including the 14 grand I spent buying it used). But, thats only cause of major accidents and me replacing every possible part I can to get it looking like showroom condition (almost 5 grand for leather seat replacements alone). (2 grand for all new OEM chrome trim around the windows.). $675 for new OEM leather steering wheel, even though my original still looks great, I want it perfect.
Spending two grand is nothing, marvin.
These cars are worth it.
That Honda owner came from Cambodia, my birth place. I bought a Mazda CX9 after your Mazda recommendation. Best!
Overall I like my 2016 Honda Fit, but things I don't like are there is no temp gauge, and in the Winter sometimes the right side of the gauges go out.
Scotty has a dream……. Sees Honda in dream….buy Honda Has another dream and sees Toyota…….buy Toyota
The lights are flashing because it likes you.
Nice.😂😂😂

These reverse camaras in the Hondas i'm sure are not broke when they do this to you... my honda civic has done this a couple of times and i throw it into reverse (Manual)and i'm sure its the sensor trigger switch because mine comes back on and I havnt had any issue for a long time now. I dont know if its a switch or a sensor but maybe it gets dirty or something? hopefully somwone with more knowlege and experience cn comment and give us a heads up more so!
Always adjust valves on a Honda cold, never warm.
to your point Scotty, where is the best place to look for a used car (in case you haven't already said). So are their different places for difference kinds of vehicles? (Like a good web site for trucks vs SUV vs roller skates (like you had on this episode), and the like. (If any of this applies...)
Thank God you're not in Houston anymore Scotty 🙏 hopefully everyone there is ok
@scotty why don't you recommend the Korean manufactures. I would argue the quality is around the same. I find that there are enough Hyundai's out there that are 130k + and you still probably are going to say there bad cars. I think that the Korean manufacture has come a long way with their engines and they surprisingly get more horsepower bigger car and same fuel economy. 35+ for a sedan.
I own a 2020 non turbo Mazda CX30 w/ 80k. Great car. The dealer has replaced two "coolant temp valves' (thermostat). That's it. Only complaint is the small back seat.
I have a 2013 Honda civic 4 dr .. I had the transmission fluid drained and filled at 88k miles it’s skips gears on jump starts and skips at 73 mph .. the dealer reported it’s the first signs of a dieing transmission . Is there anything I could do short of flipping the transmission with a rebuild or factory warranty rebuild ???
Who changed the trans fluid? Was it done properly? My Lexus is350 requires a certain procedure to change trans fluid (car needs to be completely level and trans fluid trickled out at the right trans temperature- monitored with an OBD2 reader). I've seen plenty of CZcams videos of people half azzing the process...same might have happened to yours.
Why is there a ford maverick in the thumbnail if it’s not in the video ?
Because Scotty.
wow i didn't know you were allowed to put your own steering wheel cover on. Thanks scotty!
Looks like Toyota didn't send their check this month
Snow in July where Scotty is? 😉
True. In Australia, it's mid-winter in July. It's the opposite to Australia.
It’s too cold to snow in the winter. 😅
It's Christmas in July when I watch Scotty.
EVEN IN THE JETSONS, NOTHING RAN ON ELECTRICITY⚡️😏
Wow, still snow in Tennessee on July 15th. Remind me not to move their from Minnesota, where it is 85 degrees now.
On the Honda Fit, opening the doors sounds like a beer can.
The Frontier is better than the Tacoma.
Dont buy the Honda Fit. I survived 2 accidents caused by the other guy. They aren't safe.
Im not a huge fan of the 3 cars. They arent my style tbh. Im fairly happy with a '03 Corolla S youd find those more reliable and cheaper.
You rock, Scotty! How about the earlier years on the CX-5? I need an affordable car asap : )
The new generation of cx5s (which started in 2017) are alot more reliable, and basically within top 5 most reliable. Prior to that though they're semi reliable, middle of the road kind of thing, not American car reliability bad, but not honda and toyota kind of reliability either.
I'm too big to ever fit in a Honda Fit
Mazdas from early 2000s use a lot of ford parts. I’m not sure about now. I would always have a cylinder misfire every 6months. After a while I just gave up and drove it like that. It worked fine enough just a lot louder
Alot has changed. Mazda is doing its own thing (for a while but they've especially stepped up their game post 2017 when they released the new generation of the cx5). Now it regularly lists as top 5 (for two years it was top 3) most reliable in consumer reports and car and driver year after year.
What year is considered a modern Chevy engine? Cause I’m looking at an 09 and 07 Chevy but I want to make sure it’ll last a long time.
Go with the 07. It has the better engine, which is a 3.8L type III. I have a 2005 Buick Lacrosse with the same engine with no problems at 164,000 miles.
I had the 2013 Honda Accord; same engine and cvt; the cvt crapped out at 157k miles 😢
When a basket of parts would come in from Mexico, I only found empty bottles of tequila.
Did Scotty said better then Toyota 😳 I thing his got fever 😅
I love MAZDA
My father has 2011 Honda Fit and 2019 Toyota C-HR Limited...
He drives the Fit a lot more than his C-HR, he likes the Fit more, Fit is manual though.
Chevrolet Malibu 1.5L turbo. what you think about it?
You’re kidding, a snow storm covering the sensors trips a code for the whole system that has to be reset with a $3,000 scan tool. 🤦🏻♂️
I rubberized and weather stripped the doors/trunk in my cheap Fiesta. Its quiet as a mouse inside. Get a roll of 1/4" foam weather stripping. easy beans.
How does every car scotty gets. Come with a fish story from the owner. Every one got the deal of a life time.
Min Suzuki grand vitara 2,5 v6 4x4 1999. Underbar bil. Personligen så skulle jag vilja ha en lite större motor. 2,7 eller 3,0 liter slagvolym. Givetvis manuell!!!!!!. Jag avskyr automat.
Oh yeah Scotty! 24h live girls!!
My drum brakes on my matrix are original at 200,000.
*Shout, "Rally" faster!*
❤ nice video
My kia shuma 2001 korean made with 330.000 miles 🗿
The Honda Fit backseats are also commonly called MAGIC seats, because the seat part of the seat flips UP, so you can stand a plant up in the back seat or heavy suitcases and the like. They are pretty cool.
The Honda HRV have them too!
I'm gonna vote for RFK JR. Check him out, hopefully you too
Oh yeah that Mazda made in Japan is really a topnotch car 25000 miles and 7 codes. Just carry a computer around with you and drive like hell with 20mpg and don't worry about it. Sometimes I guess it's just a matter of opinion.
Scotty, how did you know I park my fit under other cars???
scotty I bought a 2022 Hyundai Venue SE to get me to and from work everyday 34 miles each way was this a good idea?
@scottykilmer also I have the 125,000 mile warranty on it
My Honda Accord three transmissions later and link kit or sway bar every month until the wheel fell off taken my kid to school don’t think so. I’ll ever buy a Honda again.
When I test drive a car, how can I tell if the transmission is going out?
Are you allowed to take those little chip things that tell you if something is wrong?
Also, if you will never buy another Honda, what kind WILL you buy?
My son has a 2009 Hyundai Elantra that has 200,000 miles on it. His friend gave it to him.
If you were me, would you be looking at Hyundai's or what kind? Scotty is confusing. Lol
Instructions unclear
Now im left fixing my newly bought bmw
The Honda fit is entirely too small for people over 6 feet tall
Your wrong . I’m 6’2’’ .. and I have a half a foot at least of head room left in my 2006 Fit with 204 K miles on it. And all kinds of leg room too .
So i have a 2016 honda civic NON-turbo earth dreams engine with 35,000miles. Is this also the same engine scotty is not a fan of? I stayed away from the turbod 10th gen civics because of the oil dillution
Scotty must be pretty far up north to have snow on the ground in July.
Not filmed in July.

I think uncle Scotty uploaded this video again maybe by mistake 😊
Am I the only who is seeing a maverick in the thumbnail?
Why would it being 1.5 litres not make it smooth? It’s not a 3 cylinder!
Tesla has heads right to see the speedo.
Is that a honda jazz in europe?
didn't he release this video a couple weeks ago also
says new nissan frontiers are good cuz nissan works with toytota now, but the new truck owners are having alll kinds of issues with them
I got confused so I bought a Chrysler PT Cruiser 🙏
Hay scotty what yr is the honda fit
Honda cvt turn really weak 🦀 after 120k miles -city drive.
Where are the mechanical cars of the 90 's ...😫
What about toyota yaris
Cheaper and better than what Toyota in particular? Quite a broad generalization
12:50 time out .
gas mileage on that cx5 not that good. Only 24 to 26 mpg combined. Thats the problem with the SUVS compared to smaller cars. Big fuel economy penalty
My Lexus 450h AWD gets 30 overall. Not bad for a hybrid V6!
Not hardly.
At least with a Honda Fit you won’t have to worry about HOT WOMEN bothering you. Who needs that???
My corolla cross has Toyota's direct shift cvt, the launch gear and 9 programmed gears...unless you floor it, you won't feel thise annoying shifts
