For future reference when talking about a WWII Japanese aircraft manufacturer don't show B roll footage of American WWII aircraft flying around
My name is Fred Gordon Herbert, and I go by Fred Herbert. But some people would go by Gordon let's say, even though it's their middle name: you know?
I'm 72. I've been a bail bondsman for 45 years and a cop before that for four or five years, so I mean I think I've seen it all!
Started smoking weed in 1970 at the very tail end of being a cop... it's ruining my life. Went to an AA meeting just yesterday. No they don't help us at all!
I'm single, so... what's your grandma's number?
Okay Scotty. It's not Ryoichi Nakajiwa. It's Ryoichi NakaGAwa. It's not that hard to pronounce.
Just remember, you do have some actual Japanese audiences on your channel.
Nice video BTW. Felt like I became a kid again and my grandpa tells me stories again from his days and his knowledges. Thanks for the vibes. I missed it and him as well.

I think you forgot the part where you explain how it is genius.
I think that’s something for a future episode.
@@J0hnny8ravo So much for “Here’s Why....”
Hahah omg i knew someone was thinking this too
At least he didn't say good bye for the last time again
😅😅😅😅
Still waiting to find out why Subaru's New Boxer Engine is Genius.
It has been a month now. Are you still waiting?
@@triplethreatcga2358 Glad I didn't hold my breath .
The part where they sent him a big sponsorship deal :)
you owe us one here Scotty, like why the engine in genius
They are genius at blowing head gaskets; all it takes is slight overheating--or nothing at all!
You talked about history not why the engine is genius
He also did not explain how it is NEW..........Paul
didnt come here for a history lesson, wanted to know which engine and what's good abou tit
He quite forgot.Maybe another documentary will take care of that
How to say your attention span its gold fish like without saying your attention span is gild fish like.
Bought my 2008 Subaru Forester brand new in October 2007. Aside from the usual wear and tear items that need to be serviced and replaced, my Forester runs like a charm and just turned 150,000 miles. Regular maintenance is the key to making a car last, if you take care of it, it will take care of you. I'm very happy and satisfied with the Forester and it's boxer engine, despite the bad rap many mechanics give it. I'll take a Subaru over any European or American vehicle any day.
Where's the stuff about the "genius engine"?
The point is that all subaru engines are genious.
@@orion7741
You misspelled "genius".
@@hg2. genius lol
HE STARTED TO SHOW SUBARU MORE LOVE SINCE SUBARU AND TOYOTO STARTED NETWORKING LOL
🤯🤯🤯 #⚫️🍉0%!!!
He still didn't tell me why the new engine is genius.
He’s showing more love because someone took him for a ride in their STI 💪🏼
My 1988 Subaru Justy was a tough little car. Owned it for 32 years before I sold it.
Subarus are good cars, the CVT does not get a lot of love and I get it, but for a lot of drivers who don’t use their cars to race from stop light to stop light the Subaru CVT mated to their 2.5 motor is all they need.
Their 6 cylinder has always been an excellent motor, and their manuals have a good track record as well.
Subarus owners just need to be diligent with their maintenance schedule and car will last a long time.
Non-Subaru owners: Subaru's are terrible
Subaru owners: I gawd dang friggin' love this little monster
You got that right! I have a 2010 Subaru Legacy 2.5i with the manual transmission and I’m in love with it!
Facts, I’ve owned 3 of them all in WRB 2.5i Impreza, 2012 wrx, currently 2017 Subaru STi.
I pray that my EJ 257 doesn’t play the knock knock joke anytime soon 😅
All I can do is. oil check, fill gas, start car repeat...
Non-Subaru Chick: What’s it like? Hee-hee, its cute...
WRX owner: It’s like a fast Porsche that rides like a springy Jeep that doesn’t leak oil,
wanna ride?
Chick: This is awesome!
WRX: Let me tell you about my machining tolerances........
subaru owners: I'm so good to you please stop breaking
07 N/A impreza, 13 wrx, 07 sti, 98 2.5 rs w/ a turbo kit. I actually just sent my daily to the scrapyard after 5 years, (an 09 hyundai elantra) and it's been the most reliable car I ever owned, just sick of not driving a subi everyday lmao
I never understood the attraction these cars have but then I bought a Forester. I have never had a car that was this good. Like a race car off the line. Low center of gravity. Climbs hills like a goat. Rockets around slower traffic. Quite. Great in the mountains. All weather. No wonder people love these things.
Our family have owned 11 Subarus over the past 20 years with very minimal problems and no major failures. Engines have been good for well over 100,000 mi, and 250,000 in three of them. Handling in all models has been very good (I in particular am an aggressive driver). My latest Outback Turbo is excellent even with the CVT, very quick, and pulls my 3000 pound boat easily.
Cvt and head gaskets issues
@fishing945...we have a 2020 Onyx turbo....tow package....lovely car...no issues after the recall to fix that stop/start screw up...the info system is riidiculous, tho. ...as if one team got the driving part right, and another group had no idea how a dash system should operate,. Glad you have had good luck...the earlier ones had head gasket issues, some as early as 60K miles....PS: our first Suby was as new 2001 OB 5 speed manual...poor quality control, and electrical issues....they had to get their quality control issues fixed....to stay viable. Thanks.
I have 315K miles on my 2005 Camry.
Bought my first Subaru 2 years ago, a 97 outback in pretty decent condition... I'm Subaru fam for life now, hands down the best car I've ever owned. Taught myself to fix everything on this car too it's very easy to work on. Swapping my engine soon, can't wait to teach myself more and turn my car into a battlewagon
Haven’t seen documentaries like this since the end of the 80’s beginning of the 90’s . Bring me nostalgia and excitement.
Thank you Mr. Kilmer
I work at Subaru of Indiana Automotive in Lafayette IN . I am so proud to be part of the team that makes Subaru's for NA. Excellent place Excellent people Excellent product!!!!
I need to buy a vehicle and my first choice was a Forester but after doing my dd I'm worried about those head gaskets. Are they still a problem? Is there a way to find out on which engine the problem exists? I thank you for your response.
I just purchased a 2024 Crosstrek Wilderness and looking at the sticker I noticed at the bottom it listed the build site: Lafayette IN...maybe you built my new car! Thank you!
A friend once mentioned to me that Subaru backwards is “u r a bus”.
Yeah because he is thinking backwards, dont be like him.
0:50 Scotty is 67 !!! Guess hard work really does keep you young. Happy Birthday Scotty !
wow sure does not look it
1953 to 2023 is 70 years, not 67. He’s doing pretty good for a 70 year old guy.
The 2005 OUTBACK that sits in my driveway no oil leaks 4,000 lbs get 24 city/32hwy will go anywhere and has 358,000 miles I think it speaks for it self!
I love that Scotty has grown fond of Subaru, one of few honest car makers nowadays.
I started there recently and it's a very nice place to work. Everyone is polite and the factory itself is very clean and orderly. Even the cafeteria food is good lol
Hopefully it works out because I think I really like it there 😊
Well said
@@pikarari thats awesome, what sort of job do you work there? hope to work in a similiar place in the future.
I worked at a Subaru dealer and I remember the guy that pulled in with his 10 year old outback with 650,000 miles on the odometer, he bought another outback!
Subaru and Mitsubishi were fated to have a grand rivalry from the start. Even from their aviation days to their rally days.
They say that company was Japanese but I’m pretty sure my wife developed the Missus Bitchy company 😝
Mitsubishi began going down since it joined renault - nissan alliance trap
Thank Scotty 🙏🏼 from a 2002 Subaru Forester owner.
Yes, the 360 was inadequate for U.S. highways, but I experienced one in 1971 in suburban San Francisco Bay Area. Great for going back and forth to school in town, where speed limits were 35 - 40 mph, especially for a guy with limited budget. My buddy bought a 72 FF-1 with the boxer engine. It displaced 1.1 liters if I remember. Ended up replacing the motor at 80K miles. Two of us removed the spare tire and lifted the motor out, very light, That experience sold a whole generation of friends on Subaru, though the originals were "agriculturally slow, agriculturally dependable." Great fuel mileage.
I realized Scotty has a perfect voice for documentaries.
Would do well reading bed time stories to the kids too.
Yes, see his video of Toyota history
Agree with that statement, so long as he continues providing his RUclips videos I think he'd be GREAT at narrating documentaries or anything else 👊
Once he starts talking you stay till the end.
He's up there but the best one right now is Josh Charles doing A Football Life
I love these automotive documentaries, Scotty, you have a real talent for doing voice over narration.
@Amir Ayromloo And probably sounds like Rod Stewart when he sings :-)
absolutely love this video and the history involved in this, that was a lot of work for you to put this together, fantastic Scotty!
Except for the fact that there is no new engine or discussion about genius for any Subaru engine. Stupid.
Humm, he forgot to tell us how the new boxer engine is just genius...
yes, indeed good historical overview, but the pronunciations are all wrong. eg kogyo is pronounced with gh sound not g/j sound.
I love the documentary style videos keep up the great work Scotty
Except there was no genius engine explanation.
And now Subaru brand has one of the highest safety ratings. Change IS possible.
Scotty, great video, but I’m hoping this is part 1, and you have a follow-up in the works. I’m looking forward to your continuation of Subaru’s boxer engines, drivetrain and safety designs.
This is actually part 2
@aero That might be because of RUclips, lots of times I watch a video and it turns out to be part 2 of a series,then You Tube puts out part 1,and part 3, then you wonder did I miss part 1 or something.
I've been driving and working on a friends 86 Brat and I'm always amazed at the attention it receives. People of all ages love it and always puts a smile on their face
The new “Docu-Scotty” video’s give me flashbacks to my 1950’s V.D. educational films.
Owned Subarus continuously since 1978. Have never had to do ANY work on them besides battery, tires, wiper blades and tires. That's on 15 Subies in our family over these 44+ years, We NOW own, 2013 Outback, 2014 Outback, 2015 Crosstrek, 2017 Outback and 2019 Ascent.
SAFETY & reliability are enough for us. The rest is all gravy.
I remember when Scotty lived in his trunk and only popped out to scare children and do his poorly edited, headphone destroying video intro. Look at how popular his channel is and how sophisticated he presents things now. Good for you, Scotty.
He still scares
Respect to all the work you put into these mini doc series Scotty. My hat goes off to you. 🙏🏽🤠
Scotty is a great master at documentaries on car history . He should get a TV programme like TOP GEAR
As someone who speaks Japanese and English... I loved hearing Scotty try to pronounce the Fuji Heavy names. lol
Super impressed with you taking the time to pronounce the names to your best ability. Respect Scotty!
Ha ha!
I remember you said the design was bad as the timing belt drives the water pump.
You meant timing chain?
That was the EZ engine line I believe. Came with a 3.0L or 3.6L displacement
@@ninjazzrhythm400 my 1999 subaru got timing belt and drives water pump. So I have to replace them before they break.
my 2016 impreza has an external pump, i think it varries
@@unnmaed We replaced ours last year. Our car has 264000 mi, and still runs great! I think it was the first time!
Scotty fulfilling his court ordered sentencing directive!
😂🤙
That's because Toyota have stakes in Subaru
Whenever Scotty Kilmers drops the new videos I roll up the Wool-o and get all schmoked up.
My name is Fred Gordon Herbert, and I go by Fred Herbert.
Started *schmoking* weed in 1970, at the very tail end of being a cop, out of the evidence locker!
I could watch this kinda content all day. Definitely quality work Scotty. Thanks for your hard work. Love you dude!
Happy birthday Scotty! And many more!
Scotty is the hardest working RUclipsr. He makes videos in his sleep!
Yes I love these new style Scotty videos!!! Keep up these awesome videos Scotty.
The Suburu 360 looks like what you would expect if you mated a VW Beetle and a Fiat 500. 🤦♂️
And they produced a dwarfed offspring.
Perfect timing for this video...I just purchased a Subaru Crosstrek Wilderness edition...and I'm loving it!
Scotty thanks for the historical videos, they're great !!!!
I get tired of being suckered into these videos with your lame hooks..😠
I really wish Scotty would stop doing this. Getting annoying.
I totally agree, I get it, nobody went to the Autonauts channel because of this stupid content, so he probably has a contract and gets forced to put this crap on his own channel.
I thought this video is about Subaru's new engine design and I was excited, it ended up being a history lesson.
Yes ! have they fixed their head gasket problem on the 2.5 yet ???
Did Scotty say something positive about subaru ?
@Leon Liu ill admit my honda is better, but I like my subaru
@Sausages the awd system is, but as a whole. I think honda is a little better. Im comparing honda crv to subaru crosstrek
He did!
@@williamw3501 The Crosstrek is considerably smaller but a lot more fun to drive, and more capable in bad conditions off road. I almost bought one before going back to my Prius roots. But we all spend more time on roads than in mud, and the Honda should be cheaper to maintain. If you buy new and take it easy, the Subaru is plenty reliable enough. Buying one used, bear in mind that some Subaru owners drive like Grandma, and some drive like they're in the Dakar rally.
@@williamw3501 I think it's more appropriate to compare hrv to crosstrek and crv to forester
Wow I thought I would never hear Scotty talk about Subaru like it's a Toyota. 😆
I want to hear more on Subaru. Thank you. Your videos like this are very informative and well put together presentations.
Really neat! Especially liked the break-out of the logo. Always wondered about the stars.
Love Scotty's Japanese...
Bro forgot what video he recorded
I Love Subaru Vehicles, the way they are built the engine and AWD..
been obsessed with Subaru since i was a child back in the 90's first Subaru experience was the Subaru GL Wagon 5spd 4x4 dad drove in the woods as i rode in the hatch.
to this day the old GL/loayles are my #1 Subaru.
Love the Video Scotty
I just bought my first Subaru. Love it so far. 2023 Outback Onyx
I really enjoyed this documentary style, Scotty. Keep making more!
What is this? A high production quality Scotty video? NIICCEEE!!
The day Toyota makes a car with a Turbocharged 4 Cylinder Boxer GDI engine with a CVT transmission is the day we have to put Scotty on Suicide watch.
So their new motor won’t eat head gaskets?
Says the whining lil' azzhat.
Their engines are generally very good, aside from small head gasket leaks on a few models a few years ago, but they had some automatic transmission issues.
Just like Nissan and Toyotas.
Keep going, Scotty..
Would love to see you telling about german car manufacturers history!
Yes !!
H
He's got one for BMW
Fantastic historical perspective, Scottie! I appreciate you not only as a no-nonsense technical guru but also as a very thorough automotive historian. The internet is a much better place because of you.
And look where we are now; Brikland is virtually unheard of while Subaru is selling us yet another "summer of love"!
Subarus have always had amazing engines though. One of most reliable and easiest to work on engines there is.
What did you use to cut access portholes in your fenders? ...and the cross members 👻
Easiest to work on? Have you ever actually worked on a wrx or anything like that. Definitely not the easiest lol
@@yetti2014 If you struggled to work on a wrx you really arent well equipped to work on cars. I've removed engines in less than 4 hours on a wrx and thats without having done it before
@@1337theophany I just said they weren't the easiest. I've pulled plenty of motors out of cars. My point was they aren't the easiest to work on. They aren't the hardest too work on either. But because I said anything close to being bad about a wrx. I'm not equipped to work on cars lmao.
This video should really be titled "the history of subaru." I was expecting an explanation of the new wrx motor and what makes it better.
Possibly the best and well informed video on Subaru I've ever seen! Thanks for taking time to make/ voiceover this video, Scotty!
In 1978 I bought new a Subaru 1600. 4WD station wagon Owned it for 4years and did 140000 kms Only problem was I got rust in the bottom of the front doors but I use to drive it on the beach a lot Probably the best car I have ever owned..
The boxy wagons in 1985 were horrible. Rust and most of the drive train failed.
@@tomtheplummer7322 maybe I sold mine at the right time
Just got a 12 minute education on Subaru’s history. Had no idea they made scooters and small cars with scooter-like engines 350cc. Thank you!
I love how the name means "come together" because thats exactly what the subaru community does
Hello Scotty! Love your channel, it is both informative and entertaining to say the least. I was wondering whether the newer Subaru outbacks, 2020 or 2021, are worth looking into, have they improved the engines (head gasket issues?) and the CVT? In some of your previous videos, you urged people to stay away from them. I want something that gets good gas mileage, but can be taken off road (light duty). Appreciate your thoughts on whether current model subaru outbacks are much more reliable and better vehicles then in past model years. Thank you!
I have a mechanic friend who used to work on Subaru's, He's Mexican and calls them La Basura.
Just started working for the company, they're really cool cars especially with all the newer features but still have head gasket amd cvt problems. Make sure you have a set warranty if you get one and take it to the dealer to keep it legit, other than that they're great great to drive (I'd suggest leasing new, less to worry about)
@@davidanderson8469 Interesting
Well done great video thanks from Australia 🇦🇺
It would be great if Japan made rockets for Mars because Id rather trust a Lexus to a Cadillac. Reliability makes a big difference when your going for the long haul 😂
One of the most asinine comments I've ever read. I award you no points, and my God have mercy on your soul...
This was super interesting! Thank you Scotty for making this video.
Good stuff Scotty.
Amazing video Scotty top work man. Greetings from Ireland 😎
The rabbit or hare is considered good luck in Japan, representing forward progress, or springing ahead.
Just got my 2020 STi and had a 2016 STi . STi performance exhaust, tune, intake. Amazing car.
Very well done Scotty. I'd love to see you do a follow up on their Rally heritage.
Good history channel sir. You definitely don't have a radio voice but I liked it.
Scotty, are you going to make more videos like this one?
I been beggin for this. Scotty always comes thru
Scotty you forgot the ending of this video.....its like watching a movie and halfway thru the power goes out.
I love Scotty's try at pronouncing Japanese.
You failed to mention the Subaru engine that was water cooled VW engine. lol I had difficulty distinguishing the Subaru crank and camshaft from VW . Another car much like the Subaru is the Audi . I ran across a 1957 Auto Union car several years back in like new condition , had a 3 cyl DKW two stroke engine ! And just a few days ago a Subaru 360 popped up on Marketplace for sale, was in great condition.
I love this content scotty. Different but great!!! I look forward to watching part 2 !!
Scotty as a huge Subaru fan here I am loving your recent Subi videos
I thought Scotty said the Subaru boxer is 💩
He did, it is.
@@johncage3025 The man is all over the place.
I love mine, smooth and fast. Sounds like no other car. Reliable if kept stock. Vaping tuner wannabe bros need to stop ruining Subaru reputation.

Here's Why Buying a '94 Celica with a 1.8 Liter Engine is Genius
Being non Japanese , I never new what Subaru meant . And the stars logo was from pleades constellation is a great revelation .
Keep up the good work , Scotty !!
My ‘16 wrx, was relatively cheap, fun to drive, really good in the snow, very good safety ratings, never had one issue with it, even after it was heavily modded, and had really good trade in value when I bought my Tacoma.
Love my 2016 wrx. The car is amazing.
Very impressive suburu history
Really interesting! Thanks for this!
“Ah, “aircraft”, not “aircrafts”, Scotty-san!
I used to live right by a Subaru development plant when I lived in Japan. Saw them test some interesting stuff now and then
Scotty is killing it 💪🏼 great content! We love you Scotty!
Thank, for explaining a lot of important information about the structuring of the company, it's logo, and innovative brave ventures. Unlike standard configuration engines, It was really hot to see the graphic of the Subaru engine not swaying around on curves.
Never owned one & most probably never will.
Why is that? Pricey where you are or?
Waste of a life 😂
No one cares.
@@eskieman3948 clearly you do
How scotty able to keep up all this kind of video and upload everyday especially with his age? He might go to geniuses world record
