Correction: the odometer was in kilometers since it's from Canada not miles, so it's around 87,000 miles, guess I got too excited over this boring car!

I have a 14 Ford Focus Titanium and I love it. I bought it at 72k miles and I now have 85k. I have only done maintenance work, changed filters, oil, spark plugs and one sensor. I get 40 MPG on the highway and like 28MPG in the city with gas. With E85 I get a crappy 22MPG in the city. It's a peppy little hatch and it's fun to drive, especially in sport mode. I bought it for just $6100 about a year and a half ago and it's now going for a crazy $15k online! That is just mind boggling! It's got some cool features like remote start, push to start, dual climate, big infotainment system, backup camera with sonar, all window auto up/down (I don't know why this isn't standard on every car), two LCD screens, heated seats, fog lights, black leather interior, mood lighting (lol, which just means I can change all the interior light colors to like 6 variants). It's flex fuel so I've been using a mix of e85 and gas to save money.
I got one same year, same colour. Water pump went at 160,000. Great car though
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Scotty you had me laugh out loud. You know Scotty I wish to have a faithful boring car like that
L)lllllll)llllllllll)
With that low of mileage, it's worth a rediculous inflated amount today!!!
You don't bore us, Scotty.
Speak for yourself
That is correct
I have an incredibly boring 2004 Corolla with 326,000 miles on it that still runs fine. I love boring.
Did u buy that Corolla new or used ?
Don't the odometers stop at 299,999? Did you replace or do you use the trip odometer to keep track of the miles?
@@midwestfarm757 Yep, mine stopped at 299,999. Now I use the B trip odometer to keep track. The trip odometers only go to 10,000 before going back to 0, so I just have to keep track of how many times it's done that in my head. Annoying, but not a deal breaker.
@@joedlf3618 One year used (I bought it in March 2005). According to the Car Fax it was a rental car in Syracuse, NY.
Corolla has been the best car I’ve owned. Knock on wood. Over 200k.
My 2001 Avalon with a V6 engine has 433K miles on it. Driving 80 mph on the interstate with the AC running, it still gets 25 miles to the gallon.
Avalons are luxary cars they arnt boring like corollas.
I LOVE being bored by a car that just keeps running and running without breakdowns.
Right 😄? Who needs the excitement of being stranded when you least expect it, such as right after you get compliments on how good your car looks. I can do without.
If you need excitement my in-law has a 2019 f-250 srw that has a engine that died twice now. 2 more times they gonna replace this lemon. He just got it back and it’s already dying 🤣
That is the least a car should do, for sure.
Running is different, if the car is putting a smile on your face that's the best thing .
@@Lmaobro56 looks like my uncles tundra which breaksdown just after 23 miles and still in the shop for more than 6 weeks for new turbo
I bought a 2006 RAV4. it's boring, peeling paint, yes. But I paid only $1000 for it! Runs excellent
Only $1,000? That’s a steal lol how much mileage ?
How much mileage?!
Dammm that's just a very good deal those runs over $2 k easy
06 Silverado, no paint peeling, drivetrain is flawless, just doing fluid changes and brakes, tires.
@@shadowopsairman1583 Lol I like that you're trying to fit in but a chevy product?😂 An 06 silverado no less that has over 14 recalls for that year model alone??? come on man
I bought a Toyota last year 2004 Camry V6. You said it was the best! You didn't lie ❤️💪🏾🌺
Mines a 2004 Toyota Camry v6 ..3.3 special edition & I love it ❤️
I have the 2005 Camry that's almost 18 years old. Over 350,000 kms. Toronto, Canada
@Marcel Patel sadly I have the 07 garbage
My 17.5 year old Honda Accord is all original under the hood minus a starter, knock sensor, and drive belt.
Honda and Toyota are the way to go. Good Afternoon everyone! ☺
afternoon!
If you aim for the least amount of maintainance possible and want to drive half a million mile, sure. 😊
@@worldhello1234 New ones aren't
Yea I got a 2008 civic thinking it has 120k miles. Turns out it had 250k miles actually but at the end of the day I’m still driving it after a year and it runs totally fine. Just had a power steering leak which I had to fix for like $50 and some gaskets here and there
@@asbodo32 Save up about $500 to do some detailing work including paint and anti-rust coating.
Along with changing out any parts that may need replacing. Do it at a Toyota Service Centre.
It will look, sound, and feel brand new.
My 94 Celica is so Boring that it has over 342,000 miles on the odometer. Yeah, Boring Cars that will last forever..Saving money is just so Boring..... LOL
But Celica is not boring. Celica is real Fast and furious boiiii
Amen my v6 2004 Camry with leather seats and moonroof is awesome
1999 Corolla with 310,000 here 👍
I like to be bored by my 2010 toyota camry that still works like clockwork.
You sound like Scotty … like clock work . 😂😂😂😂
Even a lawnmower works go buy that lol the excuses of these Toyota owners
Same here
@@hotrod7603 Well my lawnmower is Honda, 7 yrs owned and still works like new.
@@hotrod7603 found the Chrysler owner
My Camry is a 1995, 125,000 miles, I bought it new. Now also have a 2014 Highlander, love my cars and will not part with either one. I keep the maintenance up and very little trouble with either one. Great video
I owned (2) '94 Toyota Corollas and a '96 Corolla where each boring Toyota got over +250k miles, so I bought a 2021 Toyota Corolla Hatchback 6 speed for a little fun. It'll probably be my last car.
My 2013 Toyota Corolla S been treating me nicely. 157k miles, replaced alternator & ac control switch only, did myself as well. Love it.
I'm a long term owner of my cars myself. I bought a 97 toyota t100 pickup 2wd, beautifully taken care of before me, and I've owned it for over a year now and I've taken this everywhere. I love it. When you talk about a boring car, this pickup has THE most boring interior ever but I love that too, no fancy tech to mess with! Never getting a new one, maybe when this finally dies (if it ever does), I might even get another old pickup haha.
As long as it's reliable then boring is fine by me. Drama free is for me!
Boring = Reliable only lol come out with some better theory
I wish Toyota would go back to boring and stop trying to make every car look like a sports car. My wife’s 15 Corolla often drags the front end when my 10 doesn’t but her Corolla has the fancy bodywork. I’ll take boring all day long.
He’s trolling the luxury car owners. 🤣
Specifically on BMW, Mercedes and Audi drivers 😉
@@kylenavyguy I have an Audi and I take no offense to any of this, on the contrary I tune into Scottie for a giggle or two.
I swear the people who say toyotas are boring are the people who buy dodge/gmc/bmw/audi/other expensive cars that cost more than a new toyota over time for repairs, boring seems to mean reliable to other people....
just bought a 06 sienna with only 15 k miles boring but runs and looks great.
WHAT A FIND. 15k miles?!?! For q 16 year old toyota minivan is an awesome find.
Get a lawnmower it also runs great and probably more exciting than a toyota
@@RandomlnternetGuy Boring
@@hotrod7603 already have Corvettes Trans am's CTS-V and Grand Nationals fun but they do break down quite often
@@wintonbowman8789 read again what I said
Breaking down isn’t boring. My 02 4Runner has been super boring. Filling it up with gas has been “exciting” lately 😬
same here 😩😅 Bought me a new Tacoma. had a v6 Accord coupe and thought it was a gas hog ⛽️ now I see how wrong I was 🤦🏾 I drove that thing like a maniac and still got decent mpg. This truck u gotta drive like a grandpa to get 20mpg and that's pushing it
Smiles per gallon
How much does it take?
@@tabithaedwards745 my 02 4Runner can get 22mpg at 55mph, 22 Taco is getting 19 average but it’s still pretty new
This video is great Scotty. Some guy left me a dumb message telling me that old Toyotas are boring. I told him, as long as they are running 😂😂😂
My 2003 Camry had 306,000+ miles on it when the engine died. I could have gotten more from it if I had been diligent about the oil changes.
If you don't change the oil it will be less boring. Maybe you got bored. 😂😂😂
@@erniecarrasco9107 nice 🤣
@@mrmackee123 250K with my Kia Borrego, still going like a champ.
As long as you change the oil, ATM & brake fluids, too.
Why it died ? What happened ? Did you over rev it or Something
See Scotty Got The New Garage Floor Installed
I got my license about 3 months ago and looking to buy my first car. A friend is selling a 2004 corolla and I am really thinking if I should buy it...all these reviews always convince me it's a great decision, I love the idea of a simple, reliable and "immortal" car, it's also cheap and I could save up some money.
However I am in Europe so maybe things are different here :)
Scotty is like a mechanic dad I never had
My love my boring 1998 Sienna LE with 162K miles has absolutely NO RUST! No tears in the seats. Aside from needing a repaint on the lids, my van runs like new! It's mechanically near perfect! I just changed the oil and added AT205 to quiet down the weeping engine seals, on Scotty Kilmer's advice!
Haha my first car used to be a Saturn that burned oil and blew up all the time! And my wife now drives exactly same Camry as in this video (but white). I can confirm everything that Scotty said in this video.
This gen camrys burns oil too. I had 2009 camry and was burning decent amount of oil. Cooler fan blowed up on the highway and engine too around 147K. So Not that reliable.
They changed this body style to the 2AR engine in 2010. That one only burns if you don't change the oil often enough, it will score the cylinder walls.
@@Life_in_Motion-By not others Camry tho same 09 camry ran over 300k
We are loving both of ours. I got tired of fixing our previous Fords and Chevys so we went with Toyota and never looked back.
Ford better than junk chevy
I love what you did with the floor, Scotty, looks tight.
I bought a Toyota when I came to the USA in 2013. It was a 10 years old Camry V6. Within a few months of owning the car. The exhaust rusted out, the O2 sensor broke and the heater takes 15 mins to be warm. Which means the end of my daily commute then the heat becomes available. The car had rusty body panels. And I’m sure a lot of expensive repairs if I had continued my ownership. So two lessons I learned: 1. Toyota can be a reliable car if the previous owner took care of it. 2. If a car is properly maintained, almost any brand can be reliable. I know this because I owned a BMW and Audi now and love every minute of it.
My 2008 Toyota Camry SE with a V6 gets 32+MPG on the highway.... It's in great shape, and I detail it regularly myself, and keep maintenance up to date was well...
1:36 when scotty changes voice, you know he's not joking 😂
I drove my parents Tauras wagon from MA to FL when we brought them to live with us. I took that car to my mechanic who put it up on a rack and said 'get rid of this thing and do it soon' as it had rusted out. I gave it to the old folks charity who sold it to give money to the old folks home. Good.! Got something good out of that rust bucket.
Same thing happened to my 96 Taurus. Drove it 8 months after mechanic said the same thing. The starter quit and it could not be jacked up cause of rust. The car bent in half when it was put on the flatbed going to the junkyard. Hopefully yours was sold only for parts! Have to say, the engine in the Taurus was still going strong!
I drive a Highlander, it's about as exciting as a brick. It reliability gets the family around. In a couple of decades when it wears out I'll get another.
Bro that Highlander gonna outlive you there is no wearing out.
Scotty, I need you to give my boring Camry a tune up!
I have boring Toyota from 2004. with similar boring wheels, fabric seats and boring motor that works like Swiss watch - perfectly! No rust at all, drives comfortably, superb product!
Camry for the win
I got the 2010 version with the newer 2ARFE engine. It's my first car, and though the passenger doors refuse to unlock, it runs like a dream. The boredom is the most exciting thing about my ride!
The word of the day is "boring". 😉
Since that customer is from Canada, then the 140k on the odometer are probably in kilometers. Not that the Camry would look much worse, if at all, at 140k miles and beyond, of course.
That old man barely drove the car lol I have an vw jetta 210k but iam not the first owner.
Nothing boring when you consider great quality!!! Toyotas are the best!!! Great job Scotty!!!
@@danielmeador1991 honda automatic transmission: allow me to introduce myself
Great vid,……until the wind noise. 🙉 I suggest a wind sock over your mic. Lots of options out there for you. Thank you for all the info!!!
Toyota are no longer boring. I have Avalon 2022 and it's not boring at all. Obviously, old Toyotas were boring.
Avalon's are now discontinued..
@@matthewalexis Too bad
Old Toyotas boring? Opposite. Now they are all FWD automatics. That's the epitome of boring.
I own a boring 2010 Camry with a boring 4c engine, boring 35 mpg highway, spending a boring $25 to get it up to half a tank, with boring perfect seats, boring perfect working a/c and heat, boring outer shell with literally no rust, boring amount of good space the size of a midsize. Need I go on?
It’s crazy how similar this is to my car: 2011 Camry, 140K mikes, a couples things changed out, decent MPGs, still runs great.
It's barely broken in. My 09 has 285k and still runs great. I got it there with very few repairs, but consistent maintenance. You'll need a new one in 20 years or so at your current mileage. LOL
Love the garage floor!!!
I have a 2005 Honda Accord with 203,000 miles and it runs perfectly. Recently had to get the alternator replaced but that’s to be expected. I’m keeping the car till it breaks beyond repair. It’s been extremely reliable and overall “boring” like Scotty calls it.
I have a 2007 Accord Sedan V6 with 260,000 original miles. Just one starter and one rear brake caliper. I’m the original owner and I’m keeping it til it rusts out or finally quits.
The seventh generation Honda Accord is an incredibly reliable vehicle. I would expect that to go at least 400 K
Now, save up around $500 to do some detailing work on it. It will prevent rust plus make your car look brand new.
Of course, only do it at a Toyota Service Centre.
Hondas are hardly boring especially with the stick shift
Camry came from my hometown Ottawa. Nice!
Our 2007 Camry XLE (6 Cyl) has only 88K miles on it.
It runs fantastic. My wife will not allow me to sell it and I can understand why.
Not only is it 'Loaded' (for 2007) everything works. Even the 6 disk CD player.
Plus it is still FAST.
I did replace the struts & shocks a few years ago and that gave it a 'New Car Ride' again.
The struts were not bad. They were just starting to go but I wanted the 'Ride' again.
ole school cars with real key (no fob, no push button start), cd player, n a tape deck were a lot better n a lot less boring.
I'm mostly impressed by the 6 disc CD player is working. I thought they just came broken.
@@ethanputman3471 Me too. We never abused it though. Works great with the JBL system.
AND it was the main reason my wife did not want me to sell the car when we bought a new one. 🙂
I sold the 2012 Tacoma instead.
Normally we always sold the oldest vehicle when buying a new one.
However, the 2007 Camry is in good shape and I expect it will run for at least another 10 years if not more.
This is hilarious 😂 😃 I am a lifelong Toyota owner. Had 2 Camrys, bought both brand new, the second one I drove for 344,000 miles and it had the original rear break pads when traded it in with the front ones replaced at 320,000 miles. Have an older Tacoma now, and just got a traded in a 5 year old RAV4 Limited for a brand new 4runner limited.
You have a good sense of humor keep it up Scotty 😂👍
Congrats on nearly 5 million and counting subscribers! You’re the best, I try and catch every upload :)
I still love my boring 2010 Camry
The 1.8L inline 4 is bulletproof. Minus the small issues with leaking oil gaskets.
Yes break downs are so exciting !
“Toyota recalls 1993 Camry due to the fact that owners really should have bought something new by now”
Scotty doing a car review with a tornado in the background. Work nver stops even in bad weather LOL
Decent Americans LOVE boring cars! 🚘
Scotty, I'll bring my Jag over for a service. That will be an exciting episode for sure.
Hey Scotty:
I own a Ford Crown Victoria made in Ontario & I love it. Well made & repairable.
My sister has a 2002 v6 with 200,000 miles. Still super quick and she never checks or refills anything other than wiper fluidand has only ever done oil changes. Looks like it's falling apart on the outside because of the pits in the paint, but it still runs perfectly and stays quiet
I've had such bad experiences with those ford escorts. They are on par with the ford 6.0 diesel or like any new 1500 GM. I'm not sure any car company makes sedans as well built as Toyota did.
Ford Crown Victoria: hold my beer
I had one of the first 6.0 diesels in an f250 back in 03 and loved it. Sold it at 500k km and the eng was still as strong as new and never had any issues with it. Got lucky with that one i guess from the horror stories i've heard about them!
My first car was a ‘98 Ford Escort and it was constantly in the shop needing repairs. I was so sick and tired of spending $2,000 every time I took it in. I finally realized it was probably better just to get a different car. I had that thing break down on me. I will NEVER buy a another Ford again
The civic is on par in terms of build quality
Hi Scotty, I saw one of your videos about THE LEXUS, in it you said if you can find a low milage older Lesus in good shape,"buy it!" i found a 2001 LX300 with 114k on it. Bought it,, and had to have some things fixed o n it, but a quality vehicle for shure!. my only grumble is the ultra high repair bills! now that gas is over $4 a gallen , i sit and look at it alot! a good way to keep the miladge low!
Great video! I learned my lessons with Ford, GM, and Hyundai. I will take "boring" Toyota any day. 😉
watching a tezzla, kia, and / or hyun- die go up
in flames isn't boring.
My 2009 toyota camry 4 cylinder gets 28mpg highway, I have 140,000 miles how come this camry gets so much more? I keep my car empty and cruise control at 75mph
Very boring toyota pruis that gets excellent gas mileage. Love your videos Scotty keep revving it up 🏎🏁
Last fall I drove my "boring" 91 2WD 22RE 5 speed Toyota pickup from Atlanta to Portland OR. 600 lb of car parts in the bed. 260k miles. 27 mpg. No issues.
No question the Camry is maybe the most boring car ever made. It's almost impossible to have any fun with it. But that's what you want in a daily driver. Boring cars are usually more reliable and will last a lot longer. That was a concept that was just beyond me when I was 18. If you want a really exciting daily driver get a Chrysler 200C. Every day you have no idea what's going to f up on it.
You need your boring reliable daily driver and your more fun lesser daily driver. I have a 1979 f100 that is still rather reliable surprisingly. It's not my daily but I still take it out frequently on mundane errands so it's not much of a weekend driver either. Kinda just pick and choose which vehicle I want to drive that day.
My dad drives a 2008 rav4 v6 4wd
Transmission smooth as butter 👌
My mom 2004 rav4 4cyl fwd
Still running 👌
Write a complete sentence: People who work at the Boring Company all drive Toyotas.
My 2007 Civic got 39MPG while driving to Florida last year. Not a lot of power. Not the smoothest ride. But maintenance and rush free.... daily driven in the Illinois salt flats.
I bought a 08 corolla new it was the most reliable under powerd car I've ever owned I hated it .
Those sound reduction panels are a real winner, Scotty.
Never understood how a reliable car can be boring ? Is it exciting to be at dealer every 3 months?
How can a car be unreliable if it is not poorly made, you do regular maintainance and don't expect it to run to the moon and back? 😊
I have a 2020 camry Se and not boring at all. Fuel efficient and a very comfortable ride.
Toyota neesds to bring back the Celica.
My 2002 Toyota Corolla has drum brakes that are a royal pain in the a. ss but other than that the AC still works. Original compressor and hoses. The only bad thing about it is the rear rockers are starting to go on one side and the other side is bubbling because of the molded mud flaps rubbing the paint off. It has 350,000 km on it it was made in Canada as well. Likely why it's still running so well it also lived its entire life in Canada.
Of my 4 vehicles, I have 2 Toyotas, a Prius and a Sienna. I like both very much. Cars I loved 280zx, I put 200,000 miles on, and a Celica. Having owned about 40 vehicles , doing about 90 percent of the maintenance. My experience for the last 60 years is Toyota has been the most consistently well made vehicles.
I have a 98 Corolla that I bought new for my daughter to go to college which still runs perfectly and gets incredible gas mileage. Clear coat is going on the roof and hood and that’s the only problem! 5 speed standard manual windows ampm radio and that’s it. Also have a Tundra that is going to stay parked most days with the crazy gas prices and will use the Corolla for most chore runs.
Take a shot every time Scotty says boring
R.I.P. to anyone who did take a shot every time.
I only use ethanol free gas in my 2018 Focus with only 16,670 miles. I did one Techron injector cleaning and it back to 45 highway mpg with the non turbo 2.0 liter.
If only toyota could hire better designers! Many of their cars look so generic and boring despite being one of the best built cars out there. Its a shame.
I have this car, 77k miles on it, sold my wrx to get this and so far so good!
I want to trade in my exciting kia Forte ( always breaks down) for a boring Camry real soon.
Same. I have a Kia Rio timing belt broke. Never again.
Wifes 2018 XSE V6 currently getting 27 mpg.
God bless you Scotty, your videos helped me a lot. I learned to take the right decision when buying a car and keeping it in good shape. Thank you
I was sipping on my boring coffee when you said the un-boring Taurus blew up. Spit up my coffee and about choked to death. Now that was NOT boring. Love your videos!
Yeah maybe these days but not in the 80’s and 90’s Supra so boring the 2jz is the most underpowered, untuneable and unreliable engine ever . MR2 boring , Celica boring , AE86 boring, these days GR Yaris , GR Corolla , and in Asia the 7 seat suv The Fortuner GR sport very boring 😉
I still don't know what caused my civic 2005 ex to overheat years back. Is there some know issue? This was back around 2013. I got it fixed.
Hey Scotty, have you ever done a video explaining the actual reason for the E85 push my American Automakers?
Believe it or not, it was actually a way for the American automakers to game the CAFE and report better fleet fuel economies than they actually got. Because CAFE measures miles per gallon of gasoline, not gallon of fuel. This is a loop-hole that still exists to this day I believe
So taking that into consideration, a big heavy GM truck that was getting 15 miles per gallon on E85, was getting 15 miles per gallon of fuel, but as CAFE measures gasoline used, it was actually getting almost 100 miles per gallon of Gasoline, as E85 is only 15% gas per gallon. They could report this as the automakers could say that the E85 was the intended fuel and using straight gasoline or higher percentage gasoline was an option for the vehicle.
Because of this, the fleet average of Ford, GM and Chrysler sky rocketed, allowing them to continue to produce heavy, thirsty vehicles without having to pay for it to the US Government.
That's the reason behind E85.
I love this video. I have an 08 4runner with 93,000 miles on it that was my step fathers car and then my mothers car and now its my car; boring? yes, but the thing runs like a swiss watch. After I inherited it at 83,000 I miles did an oil change and drove it to Massachusetts from West Virginia on a set of new tires. I have owned and worked on mostly SAAB 900's for most of my life (except for the truck mounted mobile hydraulic crane fleet I used to maintain, no OBD anything there!) .So you know I'm somewhat out of my mind; I learned to drive in a 900 and have owned 26 of them . The 4runner is almost perfect, it was a Northeast car ,so there is some of surface rust on the frame, the gas mileage is not great, but the only thing I've had to do was replace the plugs and a/f sensors and I did the O2 sensors as well as one of those went south wile I was trying to go north. I just love not having to wrench on the car every weekend!
toyota toyota toyota... your channel is what i'm bored with
It's a good thing you aren't being forced to watch.
Great job on the garage floor & padding of the walls Sir.
I guess I am boring 😴 🤣
My Dad has a 2010 Camry with the 2.5L 4 cylinder with 115,480 miles and runs like a champ
Scotty, I get it that you love them. There is a reason why they were number 1 and Honda Accord’s were also. How about my boring 95 Ford Ranger that I bought in 98 with 64k and then put another 229k on it before that girl pulled out across an intersection with me doing 55. Point is it still had stock exhaust and virtually everything else working. Of course I replaced a water pump and an alternator but, I did rebuild the starter for $15. A couple timing belts of course. It had a quarter size rust hole forming. That’s it. That is an honest testimony about an American truck. I would like to hear about stuff like that…
Many of them are rusted out or in the junkyard, americans want newer cars.
E15 is said to be safe for any car from 2001 and newer according to AAA.
Yes cause the Ford Taurus is such an exciting car.
i have a not so boring 2006 Ford Fusion v6 with 219k, and almost none of that is highway, almost all original, the only things done were: spark plugs at 155k, rear brake calipers, front struts, 1 ball joint, inside door handles, and a y-pipe (rust), that's it! and it's never been aligned, runs and handles great, unfortunately it's rusting pretty bad here in north jersey/ southern ny
I work at the Toyota plant in Princeton Indiana. I mentioned to some of my coworkers, toyota has Lexus and Honda has Acura. When people see you driving a Lexus or you say you drive a Lexus, they say, “Oh wow a Lexus. Nice.” When you say you drive an Acura they say, “An Acura? Why?” Or “Does your husband/wife not love you?” I swear I literally never see an Acura that isn’t a 2002 or earlier. I feel like they make the 1998 Acura whatever right now in 2022.
