| Answer to: 2013 Camry or 2013 Corolla? | 13Relevance | 6 years ago | Kerem | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| It's not for your family. It's not for frequent long haul trips. You need low maintenance for college. so... Get the Corolla. The camry may ride better but the Corolla has low miles and both have lower quality than the ones from like 2004 or 2005 so don't spend more to get a vehicle that has more miles, is harder to park, and has uneeded specs for a college student. If you are nuts about the camry go ahead they are good cars but the Corolla is much better value. Try to pay less though. Also, there is nothing wrong with considering like a 2008 Corolla or 2006 camry because those are the most quality model years and will cost less. Out of those two, unless you really like the camry, the Corolla is a smarter choise. | |||||
| Used Camry Hybrid XLE vs. New Corolla Hybrid LE | 13Relevance | 6 years ago | stos | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I'm looking to buy a solid, reliable Toyota Hybrid vehicle for under $20K. My options are currently either a used 2018 (or newer) camry Hybrid XLE with between 50,000 and 75,000 miles, or a new Corolla Hybrid LE. I'd really like the amenities and spaciousness of the used camry Hybrid XLE trim, but I'm questioning the maintenance costs and reliability of a used camry Hybrid as opposed to a brand new Corolla Hybrid. Disclaimer: While 2021 Corolla Hybrid LE does has an MSRP of around $24K, I can get it under $20K from the dealer I have purchased multiple Corollas from. I already negotiated a 2021 camry Hybrid XLE with MSRP of $38K down to $31K, but I backed away from the deal since it's just too much money. | |||||
| 2018-2019 Toyota Camry transmission | 13Relevance | 6 years ago | Sonataboi | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, I always admired about your great knowledge to cars, however I thought about buying a Toyota camry 4cyl and I decided to rent one before I buy, I can’t believe how terrible their transmission, jerky and slow delay shifting and rough too, they stated 200 something Horsepower and I felt cheated because the transmission feels confuse what gear to go on, so I decided back out and bout a 2020 Hyundai Sonata limited with 1.6T and drives and shift gears like a dream, the camry engine was loud at low speed, I’m curious why Toyota managed sell so many camry and I don’t understand why people are so comfortable with these weird shifting transmission on the camry, thank you so much and let me know your thoughts, btw I got a lifetime power train warranty and a 100,000 bumper to bumper instead 60,000 miles 😆 | |||||
| Answer to: 2022 Camry base vs. 2022 Camry hybrid-which is better long term value? | 13Relevance | 5 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| You’d have to run the numbers. I did these numbers before gas prices went up, but I think it is a good reference point. I compared a Hybrid RAV4 and a ICE RAV4. It should translate over to camry, because they now have a similar platform. Here is the summary of my findings: Get the ICE camry: If you plan on owning the car for LESS than 100,000 miles. If you plan on driving nearly 100% on the freeway. If you only drive your car around 5,000 miles per year. (Hybrids don’t like to sit around, they need to be exercised.) Get the Hybrid camry: If you plan on owning the car for more than 100,000 miles. If you plan on driving 100% city, 75% city, 50% city, 25% city. If you drive a ton per year, especially stop and go traffic. Get either: If you plan on owning it more than 200,000 miles. (While you will save on gas, it may equal out in terms of changing the battery. Most of the Prius stories I hear seems to be able to get at least ~225,000 out of it. Some less mileage, most folks more.) | |||||
| Modern Honda civics vs modern German cars reliability | 12Relevance | 3 years ago | jas123 | Submit Your Question HERE | |

Honda: in the UK we only have the option of a self charging hybrid or turbo charged in the newer models. 1) Honda civic 1.5 turbo 2019 Auto transmission I am aware of the oil dilution issues but I acknowledge that these are non hybrid. 2) Honda civic 2.0 Self charging hybrid 2022: I recognise that Scotty recommends Hondas for their reliability but is not keen on ECVTs or H ... | |||||
| Answer to: Which 15-20 year-old car should I buy?? | 12Relevance | 4 years ago | Deathmetaljunkie420 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Get the civic. Out of all of those cars you're deciding which one to buy, the civic would be your best bet. My mom has one that's also a 2006 and it's also the same trim as the one you're looking at. Only difference is that it's a coupe. The CX-9 and the Mazda5 do hold up too. But I don't know if you like driving bigger vehicles at this point of time. The Acura MDX is a great vehicle, but it's weakest point is the transmission. So I wouldn't recommend you buying that vehicle unless if you like driving as conservative as possible with it. And the Nissan, if i ... | |||||
| Should I buy a new HR-V | 12Relevance | 4 years ago | Pastadactyl | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, Thanks so much for the videos and information, it's super appreciated and very helpful. I know new models are a no no typically, but what do you think of the 2023 Honda HRV? It has the same naturally aspirated 4 cylinder and cvt as the civic. Or is the fact that the civic is also basically a new model since 2022 mean that the civic is also unproven? I was assuming the 2022 and up civics were probably considered reliable with the naturally aspirated engine, but I haven't found any videos on your page regarding the new HRV or civic for that ... | |||||
| Honda vs Nissan | 12Relevance | 5 years ago | Randy orton | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I had a 2006 Honda civic hybrid automatic with 210,000kms as my first car. Within a few months the hybrid battery needed to be replaced and was going to cost me a fortune. I got rid of it and bought a 2007 Honda civic automatic with 180,000kms. After a few months I decided to get rid of the civic and buy a car from a dealer as I assumed a dealers car will last me longer. I got a 2009 Nissan Altima 2.5L automatic for $5500 with 130,000kms. I’ve owned it for just over a year and it’s been a decent car but I’ve had to deal with some minor leaks (typical on Niss ... | |||||

| Answer to: Comparison | 12Relevance | 6 years ago | Kerem | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| If both are in good mechanical shape, get the civic. You would want a mechanic to check it out first of course to make sure of its shape. The 2010 Accord had many flaws at it was in the first half of the generation, before the oil consumption, break wear, and extremly uncomfortable seats were solved. The civic on the other hand had its kinks worked out by then and is an excellent choice if its been maintained. It seems the most common complaint is the paint peeling, nothing mechanical. The Accord would be larger and more comfortable while the Ci ... | |||||
| Answer to: Honda Fit 2020 model safe and good for learning to drive? | 12Relevance | 6 years ago | Kerem | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| To follow up... I can find used ones made in Japan. Mostly 2016 models that have vin starting with "J" are not hard to find. They cost around 10-12k California prices while a new one goes around 18k. The Honda civic could be a worthy contender with the 2.0 engine. This site uses owner data to source its data: You can see 2016 is the first model year and thus has lots of minor issues, like poorly made seats, Ac/heater issues, electrical, engine, etc. In comparison, 2018 has a lot less of these issues: For the Corolla, the newer ones are unprov ... | |||||

| Honda claims to have fixed it for the 2019 model year on the civic/CR-Vs most don't experience it some do but if a mechanic says it is fine then sure why not but I personally would get the 2.0 Naturally Aspirated engine in the civic Sedan, or a Fit. A used 2019 or so civic is basically the price of a new Fit, which you could get a lot off msrp as it is discontinued. Also both the Fit and civic have amazing resale values so it would make sence to get the newest possible one, especially a new Fit. For example, a 6 year old clean title Fit is usually listed aro ... | |||||

| Greetings Scotty and Community, I currently have a 2024 Honda civic Sport that I Bought new 18.5 months ago. 10 days ago (April 10), all four rims were STOLEN and I woke up finding my car on blocks. The blocks were right on the jacking points, which indicates the crooks knew what they were doing. Even the Sheriff's Deputy working the case told me that the civic Sport is one of the most targeted vehicles for rim theft. And I did have locking lug nuts/puzzle locks, which the thieves took right off. The Sheriff's Deputy also told me that the puzzle locks are a ... | |||||
