Hey Scotty, is a used 2009 Acura TL SH-AWD 6 speed manual better than a used 2007 Mitsubishi Galant Ralliart in terms of performance and reliability?
I have a 2007 Dodge Caliber is it a good car to have?
You're the man Scotty!!
Scotty man , when are you gonna get that Celica GT-Four or Honda S2000 ?!
Hey Scotty, I have 2001 Dodge Ram 1500. When I first start it, fires up and runs amazing. But if I try to start it back up after it's sits for less than 10 minutes, it dies, I have tried many things in your vids, taking your advice and all. It runs amazing outside of this issue. I have changed the spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, pickup coil, I take care of it and don't run it hard, any advice?
Scotty: All cars are crap, buy a horse.

LMFAO!!!!! Love this comment!

As always

No.. the last gen Is crap
I owned one
Best comment hands down
Scotty blink twice if they're holding you hostage
He can't my guy he wearing glasses.
Comedy. You guys are comedians. Love it.🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

probably not to buy this model celica.

ITS THE END OF THE WORLD oh wait its not a 94 celica
I hope you get a thousand liles
It's the end of the world as we know it, and I feeeeeel fiiiiine.
Yes, I thought it was the apocalypse, I immediately dropped prone and expected to be struck down by one of the four horsemen, then realized it was HIS Toyota and had to get up and go to work. I was a bit disappointed actually...
I have a '97 - nearly 337K miles, same engine. ⚙️🔩🔧 I do PRAY REGULARLY for it, though! 🙏🏼😆
I have a 2000 GTS 6 speed manual celica with 400k miles and it works just fine
Mines got 230k original motor
throw in a 1ZZ oil pan, billet oil punp gears, and go enjoy your 2ZZ without worry as god intended
hey mate, approx how much would all that cost??
Curious aswell
@@fezg123 really all you need is the 1zz oil pan. For the oil pump, just dont mishift and hit the redline
I thought about buying one of these celicas I don't know to much about them but you put 1zz parts on a 2zz motors are the parts exchangeable?
He should pin this comment
When Scotty calls Celicas crap, the apocalypse nears
Stock up on canned food and ammunition.😄
Stock up on 1994 Celicas.
Carmageddon !
Nope, Scotty called the 1999 to 2006 Celica crap because of its bad Yamaha engine design. He's said the same thing in other videos in the past. Just because a particular model of a car has the same name doesn't mean it has the same quality and longevity as an earlier car with that name. Sooooo.... Toyota's not "bringing back the Celica/Supra" these days: they're just launching totally different cars with the same names.
And as Scotty just admitted yesterday: the 1996 Acura Integra is EVEN BETTER than the '94 Celica. That vid made me feel so good I drove my 97 Integra with 245K on the clock to work today. And yes, its AC still "blows ice cold"!!
thats it, im buying a Kia Sportage

Someone hacked Scotty's account and is impersonating him!!!!!
Scotty does have an evil twin who hates all things Toyota and also hates cat head pillows. If there is no cat head pillow exercise caution.Actually Scotty (if it is the real Scotty) is not ranking on Toyota as much as he is ranking on Yamaha. Remember, Scotty is a purist and he resents cross breeding with what he considers an inferior species.
😂😂😂
He changed the title
Or he's the biggest troll mechanic ever.
Most cars, if you: “take care of them” will last. Driving like a maniac and doing no maintenance will shorten the life regardless of the brand.
Bingo!🍻
So true!:-)
Nope. GM, VW, BMW, Merc, Audi, Peugeot, Citroen, Renault, and some Fords won't. My brother in law's 2013 Explorer had 8K worth of problems in 5 years. Windows, locks, electric steering motor, Sunroof Motor, Hatch motor, rust...All those are not really preventable by driving slower/maintenance. Same with Nissan's CVT's or many DCT's. In Europe, all the
I would say that most Korean/Japanese (except Nissan's) cars won't have problems if you take care of them.
Scotty is dead-on. Don't misinform people otherwise. I've known four 1999 Celica GT-S owners and two were on their 2nd motor. I beat the piss out of my cars and used to blow up American crap regularly until I switched to Toyota. They are by far the most reliable car manufacturer in the world.
I own a 2000 Celica GT (1zz) 365k miles, no problems at all! Of course with proper maintance
people kill 2zz's by over revving and miss shifting them. 205K on my original 2zz engine and transmission
High how do you like to rev yours
@@roguecaptor8734 14,000 rpm
2zz is very reliable engine for normal driving use. However, the problem he is explaining would occur on Track / Auto-Cross / Hard Driving / Money-Shifting.
Mines got 230k, original motor. Changed the lift bolts. Original oil pan, Changing it soon to the 1zz. If engine blows after I’ll throw in another 2zz and upgrade everything again plus the oil pump this time.
I was like . “ I got to see this” lol

At this point I just walk everywhere
Next Scotty video "Here's why you should amputate your legs"
Loooool 😂

I just about peed myself...
Your amputating them ? whats the milage on them i could do with a new set. Already swapped them out once so this will be my third set, good milage though handles well aswell.
if you have a gangrena
I been driving my celica 2000 with the 2zz for 7 years as a daily driver with not problems , SORRY 😐 but I love my celica
Yep, scotty is running out of video ideas.
My 2004 with the same engine, has now covered 146,000 miles and is serviced by my local Toyota dealer every year. Nope, nothing wrong with my one, either. Still original-engined, is always economical, goes beautifully and revs freely. Exactly as Toyota intended. Love them as well!
I had a 2000 VVTI model and had it for about 12 years, didn't miss a beat, eventually traded it in at 186k miles for a 2004 VVTI celica with little to no miles on it and one owner from New.
The only time I've heard about these engines failing is when people have modified them and driven them hard, or just not maintained them at all.
J C me too. You have 130k and drive it daily plus I get on it quite often. It’s the oil pump/pan that’s the real issue and going to redline when you shouldn’t
Same here. My GTS went from my grandpa to my brother and now to me. Never had engine issues. Great car.
The market demand killed the Celica, not the engine.
agree
Elaborate please, I’d like to know more
@@goldengibus6300 2002 introduced the wrx in the us and in 2003 the 350z came
people were more into turbocharged cars (fast and furious had a lot to do with it) and large displacement v8s (Muscle cars peaked in price back then) so the demand for high revving small 4 cylinder cars went down. Also 2008 happened
True

Scotty, did you ever think about buying a new car ? :)
Why? New cars are run by proprietary software. You can't really work on them yourself so you're relegated to paying insane dealership prices for what was once a simple fix. These companies have found new ways to lock out the DIY ways to save money because it's bad for their business.
Welcome to another dimension in which Scotty Kilmer is a hatin' on a Toyota Celica.
That celica has had 239k miles for the last 5 years
He must just wash it nothing else
Diving Duo well he works in in a garage outside of his home....
I just found a video from a year ago and it had the same exact amount of miles lmao it’s like he uses the same clip every time he shows the mileage
Confirmed that one year and 4 months ago the car had 5 less miles

Bruh I cant with this comment😂😂😂😫
Bobby Kilmer!! HAHAHA!!
And doesn t need a fancy scan tool to diagnose cars
First of all, I love your channel to death, now secondly, you can't be any more wrong about this. I have a 2000 Celica GTS with the 2zz engine, manual transmission, bought her new 19 years ago, as of now she has 360,000 miles on the engine, the ORIGINAL engine. She is driven hard ever since I bought her, and has not broken down even once, never left me stranded. The horror stories about this car, were often caused by people miss shifting, because of the close gate 6 speed, where you accidentally shift from top of 3th back to second instead of 4th, and you guessed it, boom. Drive it everyday, change oil every 3000 miles, and it will last you. Take care Scotty.
Thoughs on the 2002 celica 3sgte
Mines got 210k miles, original engine as well. I never had a problem with the shifter either, maybe the gates were replaced at some point
Im almost 100% sure its because its a manual
When I was looking at the GTS the dealer asked me if I had ever driven a manual before. They only recommended it to experienced drivers, which I was. I did have to get the transmission fixed once cause I grinded the gear going into 2nd, haha! The engine held up just fine, though.
184k going strong

Didn't watch video, goes straight to comment : Comments on nothing in video.
Good job 👍🏻
He doesn’t drive it anymore anyway. He has a video from a year and a half ago showing five less miles than this video shows.
Savion Billups why would he do that? He’s not trying to sell it.

If you notice. He has a solar powered battery tender on the dash. He drives the matrix, the celica never leaves home
Toyota Tacomas are bulletproof. I seen a few of them with about 750k miles.
Swaggy Jay Had two Tacoma’s in a row that were both lemons. First (2012) had a bad transmission (could not shift directly from 1st to 2nd) and the second (2014) had a lousy v6 engine (piston slap). Both were bought brand new from the dealer. Both got the same support from the dealer (they tell me “they all do that.”). Finally bought a 2016 F-150 and it is a truly incredible truck. I would *NEVER* go back to Toyota trucks.
Tom Harding The ones I seen were under the year 2000. So I guess maybe the older models lasted longer. Sorry to hear about your experience. Anyways, the Ford F-150 trucks are truly amazing.
Tom Harding your first mistake was buying a lemon, you should kbow what you’re getting yourself into
These engines had a couple of small issues (lift bolts, which is a very easy fix and was resolved in 2003) and the oil pan issue you mentioned (that is also easy to fix with a 1ZZ oil pan or a good aftermarket one for aggressive track racing), but otherwise they are excellent and have held up very well. Oil pump failures have happened to these pretty much exclusively because of driver error, dropping down into the wrong gear.
My 2003 Celica GT-S has a 2ZZ-GE with 355,000 km on it. It is flawless. No leaks, works like new.
Lucky you, my 02 was gone at 120k, on my second engine and drive it around 2 hrs almost daily. Hopefully it continues to hold up since it's a nice fun car to drive, specially with that 6 speed. I'll have to get myself one of those oil pans.
Man what ur ig i wanna talk with u there
Yep, Scottys car still has 239k miles on it. Like for the last 5 years.
He has like 20 other toyotas
LMFAO! His miles never seem to move.. he doesn't ever drive just makes videos.
I wonder why?
I'm thinking the same thing! In 5 years he hasn't even gone 1,000 miles. but we're supposed to listen to him? Sure Scotty

Anti-Scotty: Toyota Celicas are just endless money pits: don't buy 'em!
ain't-scotty: mercedes are reliable
Mix Scotty and Anti-Scotty? Sounds like a recipe for warp drive.
Anti scotty: range rovers last, freaking, forever
I know 10 people who have either A2000 through 2006 Toyota Celica with the 2zz pushing close to 200,000 miles on the original engine and the only money they put into it is for basic maintenance
Believe it or not, dats what my friend thought. He came up to me and said range rovers are reliable. I Bursted into laughter
Wow who is taking Scotty bring him back lol
You are a wanna be Scotty Kilmer
@@oii3211 yes i am thank you
Love my gen 7 gts. One of the best cars I've owned. Change out the oil pump gears and sump and you're golden.
Which sump did you use?
The 2zzge can drive the oil pump to the point it cant suck oil fast enough. There are aftermarket gearsets and/or oil pumps to fix it, so....
Fix that and they work fine.
The oil pump has no problems at all.
The thing is the 2zz engine may suffer from oil starvation when it passes 1g side force, to solve this you need a baffled oil sump, like a Morosso or one from Eliseparts. Doing this change, the oil pump will just run happily forever
@@anunknowndude Thanks for the tip. 👍
Scotty is gonna make a video about how the e60 M5 is more reliable than a 1998 toyota corolla.
Got love those bearing failures.😁
6lemans10 vanos lol
Lmao, you expect a sports engine based on F1 to be reliable?
Actually I disagree the GTs are very reliable. Yamaha builds fantastic heads. The motors are very stout. The 2ZZ just needs good oil and being aluminum, good coolant and a well maintained cooling system. I'm a mech and dont agree with Scotty this time around.
Well you're dumb. Every Celica gts I've seen at auction was knocking like crazy
@@TempoMontagesThe fact that you call me dumb and then state "at auction" is very ironic. I've worked on plenty with high kms on original everything, it's all on how you maintain them. Like anything. Theres nothing wrong with the 2ZZ
My 00 GTS 6sp has 122k original engine. Still smooth as butter. I don't misshift and I don't go into lift around corners, those are just stupid things to do anyway.
@@TempoMontages except my 02 2zz with original engine with 383k miles buddy.

@@comediccommentator4663 hit it right on the head. Although I'd spring for a new oil pump, rev it about 500rpm higher with the pfc so you land at 6K or over. You lose a little bit of oomph lowering your lift point

Now I've really seen it all. Next Scotty is going to condemn akabono brakes, aisin transmissions, and OBD 1 autos in general.
When you're streaming Scotty's Latest Vid...in your 2000 GTS Celica. Shook. Sad. I'm doing life wrong.
Don't feel bad : I'm leasing a vehicle. You win. 👍🏻
Here is why new Corollas are crap: CVT Transmission
You can get it with a 6 speed manual
David Cisco I rented one a couple of months ago and did snow driving in Oregon. I was impressed but I would rather buy the six speed.
The problem with these 2zzge engines was insufficient oil capacity and oil pans with no baffling. Both could be solved with an aftermarket oil pan. These things also commonly get destroyed by miss shifting at high rpms. Otherwise they are pretty reliable as long as they are cared for.
Did anyone notice the 'Didn't hold up' motion that Scotty did at 3:28? This man is his own meme... doesn't even need images, what a legend😂😂😂
2:48 A Toyota that goes *BOOM*
Now I'm curious, Scotty.
Scotty Celica mileage basically hasn’t increase when he bought it. It’s hard to boast reliability of his celica based on his undriven car
It's perfectly reliable, you can rely on it to stay in one place
Most of the car brands he calls unreliable as easily found on Craigslist running find with 3 or 400k miles
Scotty: I love my Celica
Video Title: Here's Why Toyota Celicas are Crap

Thirty five years of production.
Test McRow ::: He’s just saying that so he can corner the market....
I know mileage does vary, BUT, I drive a 2000 celica with the 2zz and I haven't had a single issue for the 7 years I've driven it. I'll be rolling 230k miles soon, factory everything, and it's never ran better. Most dependable car / engine I've had, right up there with my GM 6.0. Just my $0.02 tho
The Toyota check hasn’t come through 😂
Oh my gosh! I was so confused when I see the title so I clicked quickly!😂😂😂
Chrysler must've hacked into Scotty's YT account 🤣🤣🤣
Car runs fine and mine is 2ZZ GE. Just regular oil change and make sure you have latest lift bolts and clean OCV filters.
Scotty I have an 04 RunX with the original 2zzGe. 134000 KM still running great and quite reliable.
:'( scotty doesnt love the lift ahaha 2zz is the best thing ever !!!
Scotty: celicas are crap!
Scotty's 94 celica: am i a joke to you ?!
Abdulellah Alharthi well evidently as he has only put five miles on it the last year and a half after looking at this video and an older one. He’s full of crap. That Celica doesn’t even run normal I bet
Traditionalist Like I said... He only drives it in reverse, hence the lower mileage! LMAO!😂
Toyota/Yamaha joint ventures have delivered great results, from the original Toyota 2000GT, to my current dream car, the Lexus LFA.. And of course, everyone's favorite, the Legendary 2JZ.....
But, the 2ZZ was apparently not one of their best efforts, it was unreliable, and it wasn't even very good performance either! The cam came on so late, even if you shifted at redline it fell off the lift powerband. At least on the US spec Celicas I drove.. An old friends Elise did the same.
The 2000 GT was originally a Yamaha and Nissan project.
@@DarthVader-1701 Interesting, yes. But Nissan (Datsun) passed to develop their own 240Z.. Never knew that until now, thanks.
The 3SGTE was a Yamaha too!
I think 190hp out of 1.8L is good performance. What would you consider a good performance number from a 1.8L engine? Serious question, if there is something better in that displacement I'd like to know about it.
The 2zz wasn't unreliable lol. The 1zzfe pre 2003 was though
Same engine I have in my Lotus Elise. :) And I love it!
in Principle so you drive a Toyota celica with a body kit... I’m sorry but you bought the wrong car my friend
@@swankgodd3647 to each their own. :)
@@swankgodd3647 Remember that the Elise is crazy lightweight, and designed from the ground up as a sports car. Unlike the Celica with Corolla underpinnings.
Christian Fiore between the celica and the Elise were talking 500 pounds. At the most. Gut a celica and you have the same weight. Same motor. At the end of the day the Elise and the celica are the same.. it’s just a body kit😂 maybe it handles better sure; maybe it is more sturdy and built more streamline. But doesn’t change the fact it’s the same car
I have a 2000 Toyota celica gts with 225k miles and the original engine no problems
They're solid engines. Scotty is running out of video ideas.
Me too but Scotty isn't the first person to warn about these engines. Just make sure you regularly change your oil and use the correct oil ... and keep your fingers crossed!!! Lol 😅😂🤣
@@SteveRogers461 The problems he describes are from the first ones sold in Japan which had higher rpm limits. They fixed this for the models sole internationally.

@@ColdVsIce Don't know where you're hearing that, the only major problem was the oil pump failure with the first bunch that were sold in Japan. Rarely hear of any engine issues with these, plenty over 200k miles on the clock.
I had 2000 Celica GTS for 8 years, it was my daily driver and never had any issue except normal maintenance. Sold it with 250k on it.
Mines got 230k
I have 239,000 miles on my Celica GTS and I am still on the original engine, and it's still running great.
So glad I got one with the 1ZZ-FE.
King JamesIX i have the gt as well and a lot of people with the gt including myself have an oil consumption problem 😪 great car aside from that
Nah, should've gotten the 2zz. My 02 gts original engine now has 383k miles and still hits lift hard no proplem.
@@letdalordbewithyou5665 Yeah mine eats a little oil but it's not a big enough issue pushing 225k miles and still running strong.
Evap emissions system is throwing a code and I'm gonna be replacing the catalytic converter very soon but other than that it seems bulletproof.
Scotty, love your channel, but word of caution: on one of your videos you revealed the license plate of your wife's car, she might not have appreciated that, there are trolls out there who will use that info against you, just looking out for you guys.
When I worked at Toyota, the problem came from shifting into 4th by accident instead of 6th resulting in the pistons hitting the valves...never knew about oil pump or pan problem. I thought Yamaha just did the head?
I thought you were going to talk about your Celica 😂 I thought you were out of your mind
My dad has one in the backyard sitting for a while and I’m gonna learn with that car 😂
I love that car's body style...
Hopefully it does not go Boom like what Scotty said.
Just swap the 2000 Celica engine with the Matrix engine and there you have it problem solved!
Same engine lol. A 2zz is a 2zz
Yeah it's literally the exact same engine as the matrix lol.
if you buy a non gt-s celica they come with the 1zz-fe which is the motor out of Scotty's matrix.
@@kotymccallister5150 no lol scotty's matrix has a 1zz-fe which is the slower more reliable one. The only matrix with a 2zz is the matrix xrs
@@foreskindianajones9755 oh, I thought you meant swap the celica for a supposed "better 2zzge" from the matrix lol.
And why would you not just sell the celica GT-S, go get a celica gt, and have a little money to boot?
Bought my GTS new in 2000 now my son drives it. It has over 280k miles on it and runs like a top. The reason people went through engines is because of the close gates of the shifter and they would money shift it. I love how Scotty always blames the car when it's mostly owner neglect or abuse.
That 2zz engine is not that bad. It's the oilpump which cannot hold up.
Get an oilpump with a much higher capacity and the problem is SOLVED.
The rest of this Celica is rather bulletproof.
I would buy one for the right price!
I love most of Scotty's videos, but he ran out of ideas or something with this one. Even the GT-S engine is fine with a couple tweaks, and the one in the GT is basically bulletproof. Knew a few people who drive crazy and their GT-S engines lasted 270-300,000 miles each.
Which GT-S model would be the best to get from (2000-2005)
What could be the right price for a 2001 Celica GT-S?
And oil pan....
Now I'm stressed. Was told to buy Celica, bought it and invested in it, now it's crap. Streeeesssssed
N3K X8 why do you worship Scotty? He isn’t God. He doesn’t even drive the Celica anymore
@@Eman1900O hes driven it 5 miles in the last 18 months but in most of his videos hes working under the bonnet, if it needs that much work for such low mileage usage per year it aint reliable
Traditionalist He is God! Holy of Holiest! Pastor of the Kilmer Church of the 94 Celica's!
It's fine, scotty is running out of video ideas. They're as reliable as any other Toyota.
I'm on my second 7 gen Celica at the moment, the reason I'm on a 2nd? Because the first one was so good.
I had a 2000 VVTI model (the 140bhp without the lift) it was fast enough for the roads and handled fantastically and on country roads could easily keep up with more powerful stuff thanks to the cornering.
The only reason I let it go was it was on 186k miles and I found a one owner 2004 model with little to no miles on it going cheap.
My local mechanic actually bought my old celica from me once he heard I had a new one.
My tip to you is go take a look at a few, don't touch anything that's had engine mods, because any ape could have fitted them, and go for a VVTI model, cheaper to insure, run and maintain because it doesn't have the complicated lift system.
And try and go for a facelift 2002 or newer, they did a lot of improvements to the engine, fixing a lot of the stuff mentioned in this video.
Lastly enjoy your celica when you get one
You don't hear complaints from Toyota Matrix XRS and Lotus Elise owners?🤔
Exactly, I had a Matrix XRS with close to 250k miles on it and it never gave me a single problem. I don't understand why people have problems with the 2ZZ
@@distorteddominance5154 I agree. I currently still drive my '04 Matrix XRS and it's nearing 200K miles on the original engine. I don't drive like a teenager, though.
If you don’t drive like a total arse bag and flog the engine, are there still issues?
I drive a Lotus, probably a few reasons.
-Lotus ECU
-Bigger Intakes=better cooling
-Car is 600lbs lighter
-Different oil pan assembly
@@ddk80 nah, if you drive it like a normal person and not like a GTI driver you'll be fine
Scotty how about the regular 2000 Celica GT with the 1ZZ (the 140hp one)?
besides some transmission fixes mine's running sturdy and fine at 165k miles
Did it come with a 5 speed or 6 speed?
@@hispanosaurusrex 5 speed manual, 4 speed auto. I have the 5 speed myself.
What dimension is this?!
I have an 02 celica gts with 197,000 miles on it. still runs like a clock
Yep mine is still going at around 180k miles. I rev the guts out the thing every drive.
Yeah wait till it hit the 220 range even if it'll do that
@@xfineselawdx2996 No reason that it can't. Plenty do much more than that. Even then, 220k miles is a lot for any car. Never see fords do that!
02 matrix xrs 6 speed with 280000 miles. Drive it every day.
you buy one of these to have fun, not to put hundreds of thousands of miles on it.
just buy a bog standard 1.6 corolla for driving around and it will run forever.

Whaaatt? This is *BLASPHEMY*
Scotty's Celica: Why were you inside that other Celica? You promised you weren't going to be inside her!
I dunno, my 01 gts is at 156k miles and doesn't use a drop of oil between changes (7000) miles. It gets great mpg, like 34 on Hwy. I just don't plan on revving it over 5-6k rpm. Plus I always keep the oil level a tad over full. I use mid-range fuel so it's an extra few bucks per fill up.
Omg, am I actually disagreeing with Scotty.....no.
You should definitely run 91/93 octane fuel, and enjoy actually revving your motor to redline as intended.
Bad practice to over-fill the oil as it doesn't do the oil seals and scraper rings any good.
Car takes premium. You gotta put premium
@@ColinH1973 very true.
My 03 matrix 2zz-ge is still original and just passed 200k miles. Dont know how they had problems

My ‘00 celica gts going on 190k miles strong with original motor and transmission.
Mine its on 234k miles with original motor
I had one that had 186k before I traded it for a lower mileage Celica. Once again original everything apart from the usual brakes, filters etc
I sold mine at 220k right before the sub frame snapped. The guy called me and told me the sub frame snapped on him and when they went to jack it up the jack point blew out on them.
This video is why I think Scotty is being held against his will
You are wrong !!!! mine has 190.000km same engine very good car.
I have 2zzge 192hp in my Corolla T-Sport and it has done over 300tkm. Still works and pulls perfectly fine. Just proper and regular maintenance and it works just like any other good Toyota engine.

The only problem I’ve had with my almost 200,000 mile 2001 celica is the 20 year old clutch giving out. Other than that and replacing some original parts. I love my car and probably will never give it up!
