What scotty won't say I'd Volkswagen is the largest car manufacturer in the world with toyota behind them
Stupid designers think electronic popup door handles (they even invented a term for this - "self-presenting door handles") are "cool". But it's not cool when they stop working!
Some fools also claim that such handles reduce drag and increase MPG! Well, maybe by 0.000001%, while improperly inflated tires and even fancy wheels can decrease MPG by 10% easily!
My water drain holes constantly get clogged and I find my self driving around with about 4 -5 gallons of water in the doorsm

I'd never own an EV, but I'm completely done with any new car. I'm back to driving old mechanical cars. I don't want high-tech, I want cheap and reliable.
Much of the "high-tech" is mandated; and a lot of those mandates are intended to drive up your costs.
The government push for EVs is a ruse for mass transit.
@@DHW256 I'll stick with the old stuff.
@@DHW256 The manufactures are screwing themselves over with adding all this high-tech stuff which is driving up prices. Modern trucks are a good example where it is out of control...who can afford them anymore?
@@brucefredrickson9677 there is significant padding in the MSRPs for the decked-out trucks -- the cost to manufacture is a tiny fraction of the MSRP. But, yes, they've overdone it. Meanwhile, much of the electronics in all vehicles is now mandatory. It's cheaper logistics-wise, to crank them out with the same tech than it is to make exceptionally simpler vehicles on the same line.
My new '01 GMC Sierra is the base model truck, last year for the V6, and it has more features than I've ever had in a truck, cost $26,700. And I'm sure GM still made a hefty profit.
Consumers need to walk away from this new crap and stick to their old cars.
Unfortunately the japs have fooled young people with animes about tree hugging and a nursery world with no noise and smoke.
It’s simple. They are not designed to last long-term on purpose. They want you to throw away your car and get new ones or not drive any longer and depend on public transportation to take you everywhere.
You know how if you miss a phone payment they stop service to your device . I imagine the same can be done if you miss a payment on your electric automobile . I’m sure there are a ton of unfortunate consequences if everyone transitions to electric cars. We’ll see in time .
The News said that the Electrical Grid is so over stressed and in need of repairs and upgrades that in less than 8 years some areas of the US will experience outages lasting a year or more.And the Government is Pushing EV? They don't want us in private cars you're right about that for sure.
Sounds like like Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦
Yep. The government push for EVs is a ruse for mass transit.
That makes sense because there should be no way that corporations with billions of dollars of assets, with educated engineers, should be this incompetent, whether ICE or electric. There are a lot of problems with newer; both ICE and EV. You may be right?

Said it before … will say it again. As an old geezer with social security have no choice. Nevertheless I’ll keep my very good running 1987 Mercedes-Benz 420SEL to drive 3,000 miles a year to the doctor & Walmart
Hopefully, most recyclable yet can be rebuilt forever, saving resources & landfill. It even passes smog. Get the 300SEL & it’s okay gas mileage. 😊
Well that is sad!
Things are really taking a turn for the worse. nothing but bad news everywhere.
That's why MSM doesn't put it out there, it's damaging to their party.
All socialists ever produce is famine. They usually do it by thinking that they're smarter than free markets, but the ones we have now seem intent on taking farmland out of production.
Im a 30 year Chrysler tech and i already work on hybrids and they suck. It takes forever to get parts, your supposed to wear two layers of rubber gloves to work on them. Its so annoying and preferably use your right hand. Now we are told we are going to be able to service the batteries and change out the cells.
The issue i have is the stuff is so toxic we have to use a protective suit to service the cells.
Im not doing that even if they pay me $150 an hour. Im not going digging around in toxic waist.
Also with the new can communication systems you can burn up controllers with a voltmeter. They are touchy.
how i the quality of the new chryslers?
@@subaruamazonThey are hot trash. If they’ve had chronic electrical issues this whole time then their hybrids/EVs won’t be any better.
Hybrids are very complicated and dangerous to work on. Even Toyotas. When my Camry hybrid battery went out I had a hard time finding a reputable shop that would agree to diagnose the issue or replace it. I had to refer to the dealer unfortunately which just wasn’t worth it. Selling it made more sense.
Your wife might think it's cool that you now glow in the dark? I'd reconsider...
@ Brian Trent
Thanks for being honest 👍
As to the subject of Teslas, electric stuff has been inside doors for decades. Power windows, mirrors, locks, and I've seen the result of water infiltration. CORROSION!! As a result, lots of stuff has to be replaced. I can only imagine how bad things can get going forward. Switches motors, circuit boards, etc.
And I agree with Scotty. We are all gradually becoming "prisoners of electrification". Very well put.👍
I once bought a 75 dollar Dodge ram pickup truck, when you made a left turn the passage door would open. I Lube the door lock, adjusted the striker and it fixed the issue.
How many passengers did you lose before you got it fixed? 😮
The real issue here is you paid too much. Dodge....🤮
Everything with cars has gotten way too complicated
And that's why they're so expensive.
And is that why always something does not work.
Save the environment & keep the car u have for as long as possible
It has little to do with the environment or planet is politics😂
My friend and I test drove the Volkswagen ID.4. She’s had three Nissan Leaf’s. The interior was beautiful and dang are these EV’s fast, but when we parked and needed to get out, we literally could not figure out if the vehicle was on or off and couldn’t get out of the vehicle for ten minutes. The vehicle has sensors and automatically shuts it off and on. Doors locked and wouldn’t let us out. It was very high tech, very complicated, even for her and she’s experienced with EV’s.
I bet Toyota is buying every EV (Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, Nissan, Ford, Chevy, VW, Fisker and Chinese brands) to see what they are doing right and especially what they are doing wrong so that when they roll out theirs (after they perfect solid state batteries) it would be as trouble-free as possible.
Proceed to 4th generation Prius Prime.

What do you expect son?
@@SayAhhsolid state battery is just 10 years away 😂😉
@@SayAhh Toyota says EV’s don’t make sense. Hybrids actually have FAR less of a carbon footprint
Scotty indicated less electronics, means less headache. Manual transmission has no electronics and no hassle.
If anyone wants to highjack me my first question would be, can you drive a stick?
I won't have a VW problem or a GM/Chrysler/Jeep/Tesla/British sports car/Ford/Italian sports car or Range Rover problem. Based upon their reputations, they will never be on my "buy list". The overarching problem is that my 2004 Toyota is still functioning as the first dray, driven brand new.
Also stay away from Hyndai and Kia, they have too many recalls
Hyundai and Kias also get stolen due to their locking mechanisms being easy to hot wire.
There’s no common sense in the world today we’re ruled by people with degrees in Mickey Mouse Philosophy 😬
Yep... They went to the Public Indoctrination Prison (PIP), aka public education.

That's insulting- to Mickey Mouse.
You're making Mickey seem like a good guy when in reality Mickey and rest of WDW crew turned into pdfiles
@@kathie4082do you honestly think any of our "rulers" attended a public school?
Cars are just getting worse and worse and worse.
You think with all this technology we could have the best cars ever. Not the case at all. I wish a car company would go back to a great engine without all that unnecessary electronics and constant maintenance problems.
Intentionally
@@greathey1234 yep all about the money 💰
It's all part of the agenda to take away personal transport for the poor and middle class. Only the richest people will be given the privilege.
Everything is.
The door water thing made me laugh. I was in charge of several Engineers on site at an assembly plant. I was out of town for a couple of days and when I returned, two female "Engineers" informed me that they had a door leak issue but had fixed it. I went out in the plant and they were stuffing foam down in the door to seal "leaks"'. I told them the doors were supposed to leak and if you look at the bottoms, you'll see weep holes and unless the water infiltrates the vapor barrier, there's no problem. So much for DEI.😀
Wow, now multiply such "engineers" across different industries....
Women.. probably hired for diversity
Well, I'm a woman, and an "engineer", and I've known what those door drain holes were for many years ago. Why are you being sexist, though? I've met many stupid males in my time. Some PEOPLE are just stupid, regardless of sex. Hire on merit.
they changed it again, now it's "diversity equity and belonging" i am not joking
Thank Scotty. Love my manual window winders and door locks. Never had a malfunction….ever. And free gym from opening n closing em 😊
So many problems with EVs. They are just not worth the hassle.
Then don't buy one. Stop whining.
@@desertstar223 All you ever do is stalk this guy. Seek help.
Thanks for letting me know. I’ll pass your wisdom on to my model Y Tesla.
Agree, will never buy one
@@lordofphotographyI did seek help, my therapist said speaking my mind is not a disorder.
Always appreciate sound advice Wish known you years ago
Thank you for emphasizing the over-dependence on "computer technology" in every modern car. As in the case of the VW you answered questions about, pretty well ALL cars cannot move without the ECU etc opening semiconductor logic and closing them again.
Computers were first used widely to allow manufacturers to cheap-out on hard wiring by using duplex and triplex power flow. And, as you say, said computers are rather crude and protected by single 5 amp fuses. These only protect the computer against very general overload and do not protect the task modules inside the [often riveted] casing.
Car makers made silly use of gimmicks using logic gates operating at millivolts to have control of 12V supply to such as electric windows, stupid electronic handbrakes and scores of sensors which are meant to control fuel/air, emissions and temperatures instead of all engines being properly tuned on the car before leaving the factory.
It should be a matter of immediate legislation in countries selling motor vehicles to warranty on board computers for 10 years and this would cause the likes of Bosch and others to pay more attention to protections to task modules as well as the mounted whole computer slab and manufacturers need to be caused to site these things accessibly not next to someone's knees.
They should also be forced to hard wire all main systems relating to basic safety and function and get rid of toys -- including air bags which hurt more people than they save, as research since the 1990s has shown.
All vehicles should have volt metres, ammetres, oil temp/pressure dials as well as dials to show the condition of hydraulics instead of fault codes which just light a yellow LED. So does a loose gas tank filler top!
Confusing displays, off center info screens and ludicrous emphasis on smartphones being catered for needs to cease. One is either driving OR phoning and not both. Delivery drivers and emergency services personnel can use ear pieces for necessary in motion information but passengers may use phones drawing signals from roof antennae not integral to anything to do with control of the vehicle.
Proximity short range sensors and rear view cameras need to have closed circuits independent of the onboard ECU because its job is specific and needs to be specified to essentials only.
My views would kill the EV industry stone dead but is will not have a life beyond 20 years from 2023 anyway. In any case, the sheer weight of pure EVs (subsidized in some states and countries) destroys roads and makes them potentially more lethal than cars of similar size. A weight tax is needed immediately.
04 Cadillac CTS is running like a top. Love it!
Keep it. Take good care of it. The new ones absolutely suck.
Same here with my 02 Park avenue, best damn car I've ever owned! Comfy as hell and still getting 30+ mpg on highway.
I love my late 90's GM OBS trucks. One ECM for everything. DTC's are straight forward and the sensors are easy to find. I only use ACdelco sensors, they are still priced right.
800 Series GMTs are fantastic. Pretty reliable, easy to DIY a lot of common problems and parts are plentiful and inexpensive.
Sure don't make them like that any more unfortunately.
@@glenhalstead2301 I have four of them. So many parts are the same. They are really easy to work on. I am rebuilding the engine for my 99 GMC Surburban. It's basically a old school 350.
YADA …
@@Clyde-2055 What is that suppose to mean?
My 05 VW Beetle was an electrical nightmare. So was my friend's VW. I can't imagine a VW electric car lol
Omg - my wife’s ‘02 Jetta too. The electric windows had a mind of their own. It was impossible to control them.
I inherited an Audi 4000 d from my dad. Car got 50 mpg but the electrical system was a nightmare. Had GM that were nightmares. Went to Honda CRV with 2.4 engines that give almost no issues long term
Since the mid 70's we've called them Jokes Wagon
I had a friend with a Jetta in the early 2000s. The thing was a lemon off the lot because of electrical issues--in and out of the shop all the time. It's kind of amazing their reputation hasn't reached critical mass in the public.
But your talking about American built VWs, European built cars are built properly.
07 Corolla 5 speed stick shift no power locks or windows 292k doesn’t burn oil doesn’t leak anything still going strong
I have an 07 Pontiac Vibe with the same mechanicals as your car. Mine has 260k and doesn't burn a drop of oil or leak a drop of anything anywhere. The new ones ALL burn oil.
My 2012 rav4 v6 still drives like brand new! Fast and super reliable. Not a single check engine light! Original transmission fluid at 105k miles and original spark plugs!
You should do an ATF drain and fill on these every 30-60k miles. However, past 100k, it is not recommended.
Spot on !
My wife and I have a Tacoma and a 5.0 f-150. We live in a pothole infested, heaved road wintery place; so mileage doesn’t really mean anything… big sidewalls save way more money.
Vehicles are going the way of my Appliances. I DO NOT WANT all the electronic clutter on my appliances or cars! Just give me SIMPLE that works.

Mitsubishi Mirage is one of the last old school cars... reliable too
Hey Scotty, I totally agree with you about that electronic stuff. AKA crap 😂🤣
Great video! Hate to point it out tho but you said 2023 😆 very interesting to stumble across tho sir
Hey Scotty,
I am wise up after a mercedes and now I want to buy a corolla 2020 or 2021 with 50,000 KM on it.
Are there any particular issues with these models? Seems they are built in Canada.
Amish are smarter than you realize. No computer on their horses. No cold start problems. Don't need a gas station. Air cooled VW cars were incredible. From the late 70's on we call them Jokes Wagon.
Hello Scotty, I like your glasses; What's the brand and style? I need some new glasses. Thanks. Always great Videos.!
1st Gen VW Toureg back in 2003 had bad door handles that would drain the 12v car battery. The door handles were electronic and the micro switches would stay open telling the car not to shut down the computer modules and then drain the battery. Massive tons of cars flooding the Service dept with drained batteries and techs trying to figure out what the H was going on. Electronic door handles have been around for decades.
One of the reason it stops analysing is that one issue could flip more codes and then you start digging into a second problem that may not have flipped if the first was fixed
the 1954 Studebaker used to that going around corners. 1954!!!
I love how Subaru pay walls the remote start for my car! hopefully next ill have to pay more to use the heated seats...
Reverse cross traffic alert should be standard.
Cut the wires and put them on a switch
Your dash odometer doesn't work anymore...
Scotty said reset the trip odometer to tell you when to change oil!
(& so you can know *when* the machine hits 450,000 miles 😁).
Check THAT savvy mechanic thing out !!
Scotty you missed your calling as a conductor for an orchestra. Maybe next life.😂
I’m buying a Donkey as my next transportation
People seem to forget that the horse/donkey are reliable modes of transportation. In fact, riding animals will still be around when all the oil is gone and the minerals are all mined!🤔
Will you roll into Jerusalem?
You’ve never lived around horses and mules, have you?
This technology is crazy 🤪 doors open automatically, electronic parking brakes actuating at any speeds everyone stop and look at it think!
Thank you Scotty for keeping us informed 👍
Interesting. I live in Western Pennsylvania and my daily ride is an '06 Toyota Solara convertible at 75K miles. Sits outside. No rust. Reliable. Only replacements have been normal wear and tear items except when a mouse decided to move into the engine compartment and chew anything in sight.
I came this close to buying an e-Golf a few years back, but chickened out. I guess I made the right call because you never see them now. And Scotty you're right about this electronic overkill..door handles and hatch latches, $2000 a side tail light modules, and even drive by wire. What used to be stone simple is now electronic insanity.
Crash tests are screw. Plié driving with the weight..so what do you do reinforce the crash zone..added weight shortening the battery life
So many problems with EVs. They are just not worth the hassle
I prefer a hybrid. Good gas milage w/o the range anxiety! Cheers!
But the mental gymnastics people do to justify the purchase.
@@zn74 EVs just aren't ready for mass market. They need mental gymnastics to justify them.
Yes! had Model Y performance, 3 year lease was plenty, Range Anxiety, rattling noises, battery pack swapped at 12K miles, Tesla is a Pile of Junk, Back to Camry Hybrid XSE!
one issue with the old door handles with rods is, in rare cases, you can break the rod. I had a 1995 lexus SC400, and the driver's side stoped opening. the rod inside had snapped! I could not find one online for less than a few hundred (most places wanted to sell the whole door or assembly). I even took it to a machinist to see if they could just make one. The bends and curves meant that it would not be worth it to make a new one since it would cost to much. so for about 6 months untill I got a newer car I had a nice luxury car that I had to slide into from the passenger side. so, I can KINDA give them a pass on the electric door handles
Why are you showing a Subaru 2.4 turbo engine? I have had mine 2 years and so far so good!
Dont they waterproof the electrics in the door?…or does it depend on manufacturer.
I would never buy a VW
The maint. will do you in!
Scotty they now want a fully automated frunk opening system with sensors. Meaning the frunk opens and there a sensors in the hood so you don´t open against some obstacle by accident.
I am an automotive engineer who develops this kind of systems and I hate those systems. They are useless in 99% of all cases. They just increase the vehicle price that´s all. Now in the EU you can´t even legally buy new vehicle without all sorts of sensors, lane assists and what not. I will be changing into the weapon industry soon.
You think the stupidity of the systems is going to be better in the military weapons industry?
I keep seeing Nissan Leafs for sale everywhere for just a few thousand dollars.... because their batteries have already degraded to the point you can only go 40-50 miles. In my state that's not enough range to reach superchargers, and I don't think they even have adapters for Tesla chargers. It would take over a day for me to drive 200 miles.
Cars are getting so much electronics on it, the warranty period will soon be only one year.
I agree😂😂
and you'll need to buy a car case to protect it
Scotty, I got solar panels on my house. You're right it's not worth it. 😂
Why
@@marcior.2153 The city I'm in still charges you a $8 minimum service fee. And it will take like 30 years before they pay for themselves. If they last that long without reduced performance.

I said it back in the 90's, "God help us if they start putting computers in planes and cars." The Max 8 debacle didn't surprise me at all. I used to work on hospital MRIs and CT. Computers and electronics have no business being in cars and limited usefulness in planes.
Much respect Scotty. You explain things so that the average Joe can understand. Thank u for your efforts!
In our lifetime most people will witness a cop pull someone over with a remote control- your car with literally pull over on its own. And I’m not owning these cars - I’ll keep putting engines in and axles before I buy these new things
Have problem? Throw away and buy new one as we do with electronics.
Some car companies have always had problems. We know they make money of their shotty designs. The auto industry should pick the best cars they have ever made and use the same tech with all of them.
Great idea comrade. Soviet anthem intensifies
@@AntilleanConfederationif I was going to have a small car company.. like what DeLorean did... I'd have my engineers look at all the car designs it could and have them ask... what is the best wheel bearing... what is the best computer... what is the most reliable window motor assembly... then build the shape around those components... knowing I would most likely only have one shot at it... so we could have the best reputation
@@AntilleanConfederation What are you talking about? I wasn't talking about government control over the means of production. The car companies would make that decision.

Would never buy anything VW. Always considered them rolling piles of issues about to happen. I know a guy whose parents owned a VW dealership and he only buys Honda or Toyota , tells me to stay away from VW. I have been driving for 36 years and only have purchased 4 vehicles all Honda. Never once have I been left sitting on the side of the road with an issue. A little side not, I also have gone over and above with changing all fluids sooner than manufacture suggests with all work being done at Honda dealerships.
