| Answer to: Should I buy a 2018 Honda Civic Touring or 2018 Toyota Corolla XSE? | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | FJCruiser2014 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| If car prices in Canada are like it is in the United States where used car prices are very high and sometimes even more than the brand new one then I would say maybe consider buying new. But in general between civic and corolla I would go with the civic; I was in the process of making this same decision couple years ago and I just really preferred the ride of the civic and it didn't feel cramped compared to the corolla. Both are good cars so it goes down to personal preference. | |||||
| Answer to: 2022 Toyota Corolla hatchback or 2022 Honda civic hatchback for 15 plus years? | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | legendaryslayer | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Both are good vehicles. Toyota Corolla is a tiny bit more reliable than Honda civic Hatchback. Honda civic Hatchback has a 1.5 L turbocharged 4 cylinder engine in higher trim levels (EX-L and Sport Touring). For my preferences, I would choose the Honda civic Hatchback. | |||||
| Answer to: 2010 Honda Civic? | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Was 2010 a good year for the civic Yes, that was the second to last year of that generation (2006-2011) and more refined than the earlier years of that generation. Watch for possible engine vibration (worn mounts), paint peel/chipping, brake wear, and make sure the transmission is not worn: you need a good, independent mechanic to thoroughly check it out anyways esp. with his high level scan tool. | |||||
| 2003 Toyota camry v6 problems vs a new car | 13Relevance | 4 years ago | Rockford1974 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi, Scotty, I have a 2003 Toyota camry v6 made in Kentucky 250,000 miles I bought used at 100,000 mi. Its very comfortable and i would love it except for all the time its broken down, gets me stranded, and is in shop. I am a single female with health issues and i need something comfortable, safe, and worry free, reliable, a few safety features would be nice, and that will last forever. I have spent over $10,000 in repairs recently from new A/C system, control arm, master cylinder leak, new rack and pinion and high pressure hose,etc. My power steering still whines and under the hood is noisey like a fan belt or something. Just got it out of a shop and guy tightened fan belt but did not stop the noise and now my A/C cooling fans ONLY come on when the A/C button is on no matter how hot the car is. Is this right? I only drive once a week 200 miles and about every 3rd week car is in shop. I think its 20% the car and 80% dishonest mechanics. If i thought my car would make it I would drive to you and maybe you could really fix it. Can you tell me a specific year model older car like a camry or lexsus or avalon to buy or what new Toyota (corolla, camry, corolla cross, etc would you recommend? Many are not made in Japan anymore and not as comfortable as they used to be and newer cars seem to be having certain problems. And its hard to test drive when dealers don't have cars. I would wait to buy until prices hopefully come down but i need something dependable sooner rather than later. I ran across a 2002 Lexsus ES300 with 36,000 miles from the Houston area for $12,000 being sold by a retired cadillac dealer. Some years the car was only driven 500 or 100 miles in the entire year. I wondered if all that time sitting and no hwy driving what that can do to seals and parts that need lubrication? And in last 13 years carfax does not even show an oil change. Also had minor damage to front and under carriage. What do you think? If you are looking for an older car is it better to have higher mileage than low mileage because of that sitting issue even if garaged? I don't want to spend a fortune on a new car but spending a fortune on repairs that don't really repair car must end. And i need something dependable sooner rather than later. Please give me your specific recommendations on new toyota vehicles (comfort and reliabilty are key safety features and good gas mileage a bonus) and on specific older year models of camry or lexsus or Avalon to look at. I am overwhelmed but trying to learn from your channel. Thankyou. | |||||
| Answer to: Should I buy a new 2022 Toyota Camry? | 13Relevance | 4 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| if buying a car right now is truly stupid in today's market. The problem is no one knows when the market will cool down. And even when it does cool down, don’t think that the prices and deals will go back to the ‘good old days’ of 2019. Used car prices are so high compared to new (and in some cases exceed new) that it makes sense to buy new. As for brand new sedans, you can’t do better than a 2022 Toyota camry. This generation first came out for 2018 model year so it’s had 4-5 model years to work out the kinks. That being said, no one knows if this generation camry will be like the old ones that could go 300/400/500,000+ miles. Almost all new cars are disappointments these days, but relatively speaking the camry still ranks at the top for sedans you can buy today. If I was in the market for a new sedan, I would still take a chance on a new camry. | |||||
| Answer to: Camry or 4runner? | 13Relevance | 4 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The 4Runner is a RWD truck platform so you have more moving parts to address (e.g. transfer case, drive shafts, rear differential, rear axle, etc.) and potential failure points, not to mention worse gas mileage. If you don’t need the utility of an SUV/truck and don’t go on dirt roads then I would just stick to a camry. BTW, your camry is in the model year range (2012-2014) that has issues with the transmission (esp. the torque converter). This affected primarily the inline-4 engine configurations. If it was my vehicle, I would consider getting rid of it; you should still be able to get decent money for it in this hot seller’s market. See below: Which is more expensive in maintenance, during 15 years period of owning a camry or a 4runner? Assuming it’s not a model year(s) with issues, then the camry would be less expensive in maintenance (including insurance). | |||||
| Answer to: Is a used Honda Civic 2019 1.5L Turbo Engine a good car for the long run? | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Compared to most other makes with a turbo I’d go with the Honda civic. Most car makes are going with turbo’s these days. So if you have to get a turbo engine, get the civic. And you have a better chance of reliability with the Honda than most other make. With that said, my ultimate preference would be the NA 2.0 engine for the civic. | |||||
| Answer to: Friends 2005 Honda Civic | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | Whatchamacallit | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Yes, that generation of civic he has (model years 2001-2005) was plagued with transmission problems especially in the earlier years of the generation (2001 being the worst). There were still failures for 2005 model year, so I hope your friend had a really good, independent mechanic thoroughly check the vehicle out especially the transmission before he bought it. And hopefully, it had an excellent service history for transmission fluid change as well, and wasn’t beat the heck out of. | |||||
| Integra versus Civic, Then and Now | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Acura is reviving the Integra name. Historically, the Integra and the civic share many underpinnings. The Integra is thought to be stiffer and a bit more horsepower. And the civic not as stiff and less horsepower, despite almost exactly the same engine. I conjecture the new Integra will share many underpinnings with the latest civics. With that said, besides looks, what are the substantial differences between the two cars historically and perhaps in the future, that would make the Integra a worthwhile buy/lease, rather than being a more expensive civic ... | |||||

| Hi! I had watched a video of scotty saying that the 2016 2.0 earth land no turbo charge honda civic base model was probably one of the best newer civics around but in another video he stated that the 2016 civic models have soy wiring covers and rats would chew at them. so my question is, does every 2016 civic model have the soy wiring? would it be worth getting this specific model? | |||||
| 2011 Toyota Camry LE needs multiple repairs - should I repair and keep it? | 13Relevance | 5 years ago | Yota | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Dear Scotty, I have a US-built (Kentucky), 2011 Toyota camry LE, 2.5L 4-cylinder 2AR-FE engine, U770E automatic transmission, PZEV emissions system (still within the 150,000, 12-year warranty) with 105,000 miles as my daily driver in Maine. I bought it in 2014 with 30,500 miles for $14,500 from a used car dealer (was just off-lease from Massachusetts). It now needs new rear calipers (seized up-daily driver in NE winters), new rear rotors and pads, new rear parking brake shoes, a new radiator (very small slow leak), rear sway bars (clunking over bumps-the other suspension parts appear to be OK), and has two separate flanges rotting out in the exhaust system. It has never overheated, and I've changed the oil and filter every 5000 miles with Pennzoil Platinum OW20 full synthetic oil since I purchased it. I also changed the transmission fluid at 90,000 miles (ATF was dark, but not burned). It has already received an all around brake job (pads and new rotors 5 years ago), several sets of tires, and a new battery. It does not burn a drop of oil. It runs and shifts well with no trouble codes. However, I am disappointed in the paint quality from that year (fragile, water-based clear coat with more than a few small chips), but otherwise the car is in decent cosmetic shape. I am also a bit disappointed in the amount of maintenance it has required in its ten years of service. I am also considering replacing the thermostat, water pump (no problems yet, but I've read the 2AR-FE engine's water pump has been problematic), upper and lower radiator hoses and clamps, and the water pump drive belt, since the radiator needs replacement. My questions for you are: Did I do well on this purchase? Does the Toyota factory warranty on the PZEV emissions system likely to cover the rotting flanges, and/or all other exhaust system components? Are these additional cooling system repairs advisable to do along with the new radiator? Is this a reasonable amount of maintenance from a ten year old camry? Should I perform these repairs on the car and keep it going? Are you aware of any other known problems with the 2011 camry I should be addressing? How long can I expect this model year camry to last if I keep up with its maintenance? I am a dedicated subscriber to your YouTube channel and greatly admire and share your insights with others. Thank you in advance for your expert responses to my questions! Most sincerely, Yota | |||||

| Neither is good, besides the fact that you shouldn’t buy salvage cars. In fact, I would avoid the 2012-2014 Toyota camry’s with the 6-speed AT (U760E) as some have had transmission issues (which can require a full replacement): | |||||
| Answer to: Toyota Solara OR Honda Civic??? | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | Idb05 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I would keep the solara. I owned one with over 250k miles and it still ran smooth. The civic will last just as long as the solara. What do you prefer? The solara will be more sporty than the civic but the civic will get much better gas mileage. | |||||
| Answer to: 2014 Toyota Camry 145,000 miles hesitates at low speeds | 13Relevance | 6 years ago | Kerem | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| So I assume these don't apply to you? (Official information from the National Highway and Traffic Safety Administration and Toyota) Transmission issues are very common in the 2012-2014 including low speed hesitation and shuddering, especially between 20 and 40mph according to Scotty and these complaint sites. But if your mechanic says it has nothing to do with the transmission, that is another story. | |||||
