| Answer to: 2016 Forester dead CVT where to go from here? | 16Relevance | 5 years ago | Terranova1340 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I will add the Highlander to my list of considerations. I was considering a CR-V I have a buddy who works as a sales rep over at one of the local Honda Dealerships so I thought it might be an option. However, the Honda CR-V uses a CVT Trans, it also is a 1.5L turbo charged engine that had issues (and perhaps it truly is fixed now) with excess gas getting into the oil. I know Scotty did a video on this and suggested it would be okay as long as you stay on top of changing the oil. Changing the Oil more frequently is not a big deal but the fact that they use a ... | |||||

| So I bought a 2020 Honda Fit Sport CVT brand new as my first car ever right out of college. I drove it across the country about 2000 miles when I moved from Florida to Oregon, and man let me tell you, the problems I experienced on this car has been horrible.

| Hey Scotty! Love the videos! so here’s my situation, I have 2016 Honda Accord 2.4 cylinder with the CVT transmission currently 106xxx miles on it. I bought it new and have always taken care of it meticulously. Change engine oil, filter and air filter every 5k. Drain and fill CVT every 30k. At 100k I replaced the belt tensioner, belt, replaced coolant, changed the spark plugs, changed all brake pads and rotors. . Etc you get the picture. Recently the drive indicator started flashing so I took it to the Honda dealer to have them pull the code since the code r ... | |||||
| Honda Fit - Last generation, is it Honda's gold standard for reliability? | 16Relevance | 4 years ago | Fancymank | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I own a 2019 Honda Fit with 21k miles. It certified pre-owned and has 3 years left in the powertrain. I've been pondering what car in terms of reliability and gas mileage is the gold standard. Honda states that highway is 40mpg. Pretty good on it's own right. Even though I've had 1 hour trips back and forth and have been getting 41-42mpg at the end of the week with combine grocery, work and leasure trips. Without being a hybrid, this little car has a lot to offer. First thing first, size can be deceiving. When you can pull down the rear seats flat, you'll ... | |||||

| Well I ain't no scotty, and I agree with @Doc - that'd be the ultimate suggestion. 😆 but anyway here's some answers as I see it: Toyota Camry or Honda Civic? These are not two things that'd you compare. two different sized cars... kinda like comparing a Yaris and a Corolla - or a Fit and a Civic, you pick based on what you can afford, condition and size. As far as new cars? Civic vs. Camry? The Camry is a foot longer, a bit wider, the 2.5L 4 cylinder and the V6 come with a conversional automatic gearbox and not some trashy small CVT - it's on ... | |||||
| Answer to: I have a 2019 Honda Insight | 16Relevance | 5 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I usually recommend Toyota Hybrids over any other hybrid, even Honda. Toyota has 20 years of time tested hybrid technology. Prius technology has made it across their entire fleet. With that said, I love the ideas behind the Honda Insight. Honda has a compelling hybrid technology, especially with the Honda Insight. It is their third attempt at creating a hybrid system, and it is significantly different than their Honda predecessors, and even Toyota. Honda predecessors weren’t necessarily bad in terms of quality. They just weren’t as popular as Toyota’s tech ... | |||||

| Good day, Scotty. This 22November 2021, Honda Philippines will launch the new 11th Gen 2022 Honda Civic with a 1.5 Turbo engine and CVT. The car looks very nice but I remember you have been pointing out oil dilution problems in engines with turbo for Honda I was looking forward to a naturally aspirated engine but the variants are all in turbo. Should I avoid it or have they fixed the problem already? Better to get the 10th Gen 2020 1.8 NA Engined Civic instead? Looks like all car manufacturers are going turbo to improve gas mileage for city drivin ... | |||||

All Subarus have CVT transmissions and Scotty's videos regarding CVT transmissions and the negativity surrounding them has made me hesitant. It seems that there are only two smaller SUVs on the market that do not have CVT transmissions. The Mazda CX-5 and the Kia Sportage. Of those two which would you recommend? Also, if I couldn't get the kind of deal I'm looking for with one of those two choices and had to buy a v ... | |||||

| I agree with @nlord , renting a car one way to a distant dealership sounds like a great idea. Also, consider that a Corolla's MSRP is a bit cheaper then that of the Elantra, so even if the best dealer you can find adds a grand or two, you're still coming up on top. - (Corolla 1.8L Hybrid LE FWD is $23,050 MSRP, while a Hyundai Elantra 1.6L Blue Hybrid is considerably more at $24,550. And you can't really compare Toyota's lack of a traditional CVT [there's no belt, no nothing, just two electric motors and two differentials! it's brilliant and bulletproof] to Hyundai's awful decision to use a dry clutch dual clutch automated transmission that does wear out and does have issues - The conventional non-hybrid Elantra is a bit cheaper but it's just so much worse that paying even a few grand more for a Corolla would make sense. The DynamicForce engine and DynamicShift launch gear CVT can actually be used to drive fast and sit in traffic jams! not a thing you can do on a conventional CVT.) - The same 1.8L and eCVT. - If you're looking for additional alternatives, the Subaru CrossTrek (2.0L, CVT, $24,995 - Subaru quality isn't great and it's kind of expensive for how basic and not refined it is) is decent, and the Mazda3 / CX-30 are also not bad at all (2.5L, conventional automatic, $22,550 / $22,950 - much more luxurious and fun to drive although in recent times there are reports of engine issues on these and there were known transmission issues in the past) and they're more of a driver's car. Both are considerably better than an Elantra - and yet a Corolla is likely to outlive these by far. | |||||
