      Had a 1989 Volvo 740 GL that ran reliably for nearly 300,000 miles, an ‘88 Jetta GL 5MT that ran for nearly 200,000 miles, a 2000 Audi A6 2.8 Quattro that I sold at 18 years old and is still being daily driven by a friend, a 2003 MINI Cooper S that’s been a weekend joy for 18 years, a 2012 Chevrolet Malibu LTZ V6 that was a phenomenal road tripping car, a 2013 MB C300 4Matic Luxury that got me through some rough conditions and great weekend trips without a single hiccup, and now a 2017 Jaguar XE 20d Prestige that’s been one of the most efficient cars I’ve ever owned. They’ve all been as much of a pleasure to own and drive as my 2010 Toyota Tacoma SR5 TRD Off-road. If you know how to maintain a car and you’re selective about what you’re buying, you can enjoy some pretty questionable cars without significant issues!

      ​@@barondystopia I don't really subscribe to the "all Range Rovers are unreliable" (No, I don't own one, not my kind of car if I'm honest). I think they probably get a similar number of issues, and small niggles that any car would - People get sad about that because they think that due to spending more on it, it's going to be flawless - Especially when it comes to brand new models any car will have issues that weren't expected.
      That first point, is the same with most things both expensive and cheap - Look at Microsoft and their Xbox 360 defects they had as an example. Brand new car models are a big unknown and issues will be improved over times as they come to light.
      The main thing that I think makes people think they're ALL unreliable is that people eventually buy a £40K-£90K car for £10K....By the time that person has bought the car for so little, it's probably already been through numerous owners that neglected it and just plain couldn't afford to repair small issues that have gotten bigger over time. Once you get to that sort of purchase price some people are even neglecting servicing.
      With any car, most of us here will know you should fix problems ASAP, but average people don't. I think the same problem happens here where people buy the car for £10K and don't realise that when things break (as they will on all cars) the £70K car comes with the repair costs of a £70K car, not a £10K car.
      Not saying they are super reliable, just not as bad as people make out

      @@DanielHarrisCodes True. You have to take everything with a grain of salt. Obviously, there have to be some redeeming factors for them. People aren't going to buy a vehicle that's known for being trash. Any vehicle can fall by the wayside if you don't maintain it. But it seems some are more prone to specific defects than others. I don't get people and their thought processes, honestly.

      I got to be honest with you. I initially half listened to a Scotty Kilmer video. About 2/3 way through he literally said verbatim something that my mechanic has said for years and not only were the words the same their voices are close. I haven't missed a video from Scotty since and I've literally only heard one that's right one thing that he and my mechanic disagreed on. It's been long enough though I can't even remember what it was now.

      @C Liao It's not a "better car" it simply rides smoother. They're both just as reliable. It just comes down to ride preference. Its give and take when it comes to these two vehicles.
      Camry-- more expensive
      Corolla-- less expensive
      Camry-- smoother ride
      Corolla-- more economical
      Camry-- more room inside(unless you're going to haul a big family around daily, it's pointless)
      Corolla-- less room yet easier to maneuver around(easier to drive)
      So one is not better than the other. It depends on what the customer values more.

I also have a 2014 Corolla S with the normal 1.8L and a 6-speed manual. It has a little less jam than the 2010, but still fun to drive, far better fuel economy, and even more reliable. Want fun?

    My 98 Corolla LE vs. my 99 Camry XLE.... Scotty speaks words of wisdom on this. Both of these cars are indestructible, however, I will say this; First, both have well balanced tires, are well aligned and have newer high-end struts and springs. Both of my Toyotas were made in Canada at the same plant a year apart but they feel and ride like two totally different manufacturers made them. The Crayolla (Corolla) has always had a harsh ride, steering shake (no matter how well balanced the 13" tires) and you can feel the engine vibrate in the steering wheel and all pedals. The Camry has none of that. You are much more isolated. The Cam quietly rolls at highway speeds with no steering wheel shake. The Cam has 14" tires, the Crayolla has 13". The Crayolla is hard to get in and out of. The Camry isn't. The Crayolla gets 34-35mpg highway. The Cam gets 28-30mpg highway- I drive it faster than the Crayolla. Just my 2¢

    The Toyota Prius is one of the best engineered hybrid cars ever made and the fuel mileage is unbelievable like 50 + miles to a gallon and on one trip 60 MPG, I know their kind of ugly but they first started R&D in 1993 and the first release was 1997 in the USA they have improve every three or four years I have a 2013 and can't say enough good about it, give one a test drive they will really surprise you and when you use the combination of engine and main battery you will be very surprised at the instant power available as for me I am 80 and only interested in economy. I really enjoy your videos having once been a real mechanic back in the 60's,70's and 80's.

    I see a couple of problems when replacing mirrors with cameras, Scotty. One is complexity: mirrors do not fail, but cameras do. Another is image fidelity: digital images cannot be rendered in real time, that's why you see some garbled images when there are many things moving too fast. Another thing to keep in mind is that by not having to move your head, you grow tired faster as the muscles on your neck do no change posture as often as needed. And lastly, displays have a different point of view, which means you need to focus your eyes on the surface of the display rather than on what the display is showing.
    I recently drove a truck with a display instead of a back mirror, and the stupid thing was too slow and too low definition and required refocusing my eyes every time I needed to check the rear view mirror. Now, with mirrors, you do not have to adjust your gaze because you are not really looking at the mirror, but what its been reflected on it.

    I always thought of the Crown Victoria as a family car, not a grandpa car. When driving a cop car at 130mph I don't think of it as a grandpa car either.

    I’d spring for the Camry. I think the step up is worth the price premium

    Golden Rule: when companies merge, they are looking for ways to cut costs, so everything is on the examination table with that in mind. The last thing they want is to make new investments in making an existing product more reliable down the road.

    Relative to the 97 Ranger - I had problems with mine. Those included lots of electrical system problems, constant heater core leaks (replaced three in six years, and you had to take the whole dash out to replace them = two days each time), and finally my ring gear on the flywheel cracked and broke! Oh, I almost forgot, I also had the trans lock up on the freeway! They found pieces of one of the synchros inside. I'm cured, no more Fords.

      Mine was.... With the 2.3L 4 cylinder engine. Although Scotty warned people about consumer reports reviews, the reviews on that year Ranger had lots of black balls. They were right.

    Scotty, you should do a video where you guess which real life cars Grand Theft Auto cars are based on!

    I rented a 2020 Corolla recently and had to bring it back, the most uncomfortable car entering and exiting.

      Agreed, but try the camry! We got my mom a rav4 because its easier and quicker to get out of but anyone under 65 should be ok in the Camry.
