Hey Scotty, just wondering what the plug/plugs looked like after the run on this Scion? Love the channel by the way. ✌👍
Funniest thing...I'm in Michigan and I saw a guy that looked just like you....and guess what kind of of car he got into...a old Honda. I said to myself "I wonder of that's Scotty 🤔...naw but sure looked like your twin🤣
Great video.
Thank you Scotty !! ... for everything ! Been following you for years and, when it comes to automotive matters ... YOU ARE THE MAN !!! I would watch your posts even if I was an old lady with no interest in autos ... so entertaining ... but as as someone who watches you to learn about automotive issues ... YOU ARE THE MAN !!!
hey scotty are y,all 2006 Scion xb Hatchback 4D
$2,200 1.5 ? worth it 239 k
Scotty Kilmer: "Stop buying Toyotas and buy Toyotas"
Right 😂
Scotty: Why I wouldn't buy this brand
Next week
Scotty: Why I'm buying this brand.
Me: I’m buying a Korean car 😒
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂
I've owned that exact car (same color and everything) for 16 years now. It's a tank- I think the only thing that I had to repair is the exhaust and the altenator. It starts first time every time! Probably the most reliable car I've ever owned. With the seats down, the rear has about as much room as a small pickup truck :) Great in the snow too.
On the minus side, it's severely underpowered and strains on the highway. 0-60 is in the 10-12s range. There's no traction control, and the rear brakes are drum brakes, so brake performance isn't the best.
I owned one for 6 years with the 5 speed manual. They’re almost the same in performance but the manual being marginally faster 0-60. I gutted the car entirely down to the metal and put bucket seats in it. With an intake, exhaust, coilovers you surprise a good amount of people. Can keep up with a lot of cars. You can get turbo kits for them since they run the same engine as the Corolla. 2zr-fe
No it is not, 1.8 is plenty enough for the highway, if the 1.5 does fine on the highway the 1.8 does amazing on the highways, you are probably morbidly obese and straining the car
I have had to replace multiple wheel bearings in mine and the ABS is always on the fritz but otherwise, it's a great car.
I have a 2010 XD with 268k miles. I have driven the car everywhere and it's given me no problems. One time I had the wrong size tire for a few months...no issues...except it drove crazy. Everythings work perfectly! Great car!
Own one since 2009 , basically a yaris suspension and chasis. With a corolla engine , cheap maintenance. 180,000 miles. One water pump , changed it myself. 1 clutch change . 35mpg average ( puerto rico streets) full tank gets about 300 miles , manual . No leaks , love it .
Small inside but great for students , really easy to park. Interiors really well built , easy to clean . Regular wash inside and out takes like 1 hour or less. Rear seats drops down and you have plenty of cargo space when needed. Best daily driver I've had really reliable. Just test drive it if you're a tall person .
I love how he just tossed the beauty cover. LOL
He is a sloppy person! Watch how he handles things when fixing cars and you will know.
@@Mr.President.2028 cap!
@@Mr.President.2028 I read it as 'no respect', but maybe it's an American cultural thing... I 'place' everything carefully...
@@Mr.President.2028 no he’s not bro, look how freaking clean his car interiors are, he’s not a sloppy thing. That’s kind of a stereotype. Don’t judge a book based by its cover. Also that cover just gently hitting the pavement doesn’t hurt it, I’ve done it & it only breaks if you step on it, which Scotty obviously doesn’t. Dam bro your ridiculous
@@Blakecryderman7244 I observe his actions, not just one or two times. In today's video "Here's How I Get My Cars to Last Over 400,000 Miles", he threw the engine cover again at 16:48. Look at how Car Care Nut does for reference/comparison; he put the parts on the mobile cart. That is how you show "respect" to your customers, you treat their stuff with care.
My 87 Celica was rated at 35MPG highway, but I would consistently get 40MPG when taking long interstate trips through non-congested areas. That is still considered pretty good 35 years later.
See that, and here we are in 2022 and most new cars can't claim anywhere near that.
I had one over 400000 miles and yes the gas mileage was phenomenal didn't think about then being a young man !
I remember someone mentioning how '80s Honda Civic hatches got 40MPG plus. However, the reason they did was because they has much fewer safety features. The person later commented how one wouldn't want to be in a front-end collision in one of those.
I know how you feel my 2018 Civic can get me 48 MPG on long road trips and it feels great looking at other people in huge trucks that get their MPG in the single digits 😂
@@dannyv2230 Too bad every car doesn't get the MPG that your Civic gets.
Automanufacturers are greedy folks who don't want us to have the entire 🎂.
They either give us a slice of great MPG or just a slice of Raw Horsepower and speed.
But what we should be getting is a fully made 🎂 with great MPG, Raw Horsepower and speed together.
If you get the drift of what I am saying.
Basically a V8 Powered monster with 50 MPG and ZERO Pollution.
It can be done but the Automanufacturers don't want us to have that because they are trying to appease the radical environmentalists now.
I had a scion xb and had 250k on it and it would be still running if I didn't hydro lock the engine. The oil leak on some were a problem with the rings. My engine had the problem and Toyota paid for the engine replacement.
@@nagyhanna3758 drove through a puddle in a banked curve that ended up being almost 2 feet deep and I had cold air intake on it so it suck the water right in. I fixed it enough to sell tho
I love the Scion XD!! Im currently 18 yrs old and I was thinking of a Scion XA or a TC as my first car, and it's currently on my first car list. The reason I say this is because they're one of the most fuel saving, practical, cheap, fun, and reliable economy cars out there. Scion existed from like 2001 to 2017 and the iM was the last production model they ever made. The reason Scion went out of business is because they never made SUVs (which are the most popular segment), and I wish Scion still existed today cuz Scion is one of my fav car companies out there!!
TC has a known piston head ring problem. Your other options are great!
You’re killing the value of my car Scotty 🥺
Killing it as in raising it? Lol
What car you got?
😂😂😂
LoL 😆😂😆
"You don't really have to worry about as long as you change your oil"
My 2010 xD manual has 204k+miles on it. Runs like the day I bought it used with 41k on it. Generally 38 mpg highway... I love it!
One of my friends has worked for Toyota for 20 years. A few years ago, when they announced cancelling the Scion, they offered a limited edition where they only made 600 something in a limited edition trim. Being an employee of Toyota, he gets a pretty nice discount on a new car every few years. He had bought his wife a new Toyota minivan a few years ago and the anniversary date of his discount just happened to come up, so he bought one of the limited edition models. He's a big guy, too, weights more than 350. He flip flops between an older Chevy SIlverado and his Scion as his daily driver. It's a spectacle to see him get in and out of it.
i'm a 6'2" 430 lb guy my 1st car was a 2016 Scion tC and until the AC blew out 8 months after i bought it i LOVED it...bought it new...now own a Coyote Mustang and hope to have the same fun as my tC
Does he work at the Georgetown KY plant? I'm from Louisville
xD model?
they have alot of room in them for a small car
I always learn something new from you Scotty. I recently replaced my iridium plugs, I put anti-seize on them. Car wasn’t running right, so I pulled my plugs again and one of them was very loose! Thanks for the solid advice as always
So better not to put anti seize?
Yes, Scotty mentions this in the video.
I bought an '08 Scion xD back during the Cash 4 Clunkers debacle. Currently have 270k on the engine and it still runs like a top! One thing though, that 2ZRFE does like to have bad water pumps. I've replaced mine twice.
I love the Scion xD so much that my boyfriend and I BOTH bought one! The build quality is amazing for something that was meant to be a bottom base econobox!
stop peeing in people s gas tanks🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have two of them!
Thank you Scotty! I've had my 2012 Scion xd for 5 years now and best car I ever had, really appreciate this video. Maybe do one for an automatic transmition in the future please?
I love Scotty energy 😀
Can't talk without his arms and that's what makes him unique
That's how he retrieves his wisdom and knowledge from his head database. 😂
Old Scotty has some Italian in his dog box maybe a grandmother only he can say. This I know from my own experience with an Italian grandmother..
Scotty talks with his arms, chef Rachael Ray talks with her hands. Both movements irritate me.
I have a 2006 Scion xb at over 318,000 miles. It's burning oil, and the transmission is going, but it's hanging in there. It's been a great vehicle. Just dying to upgrade soon.
I just bought a Scion xD because of this review by Scotty. Thanks dude!
Scottie my friend ,you are awesome!
Absolutely love every one of your vids and respect your integrity very much.
Bless you and may you live long and make us better.
Scotty is the most entertaining car expert out there.
I usually start up my 2013 Prius and use the power mode which uses the battery and the 1.8 L engine it laid rubber because I needed to get into the traffic, I only use the power mod for maybe 5 minuets then go back to the ECO mode; what a car over 170,000 miles and still runs like new without any problems, Thanks Toyota
The XD is based on a Yaris chassis with a Corolla drivetrain crammed into it. So yeah, it will be super reliable for many years. Interesting fact. In some markets the Yaris of the time was offered with the Corolla drive train as an option. Yes there is even a RUclips video from a few years back where a guy put an xd drivetrain in his Yaris sedan.
If its yaris based should be pretty fun to drive, great steering feel
I thought Yaris came out after the Scion.
@@69ztang not the xd. The xa and xb were out before Yaris.
In Europe the xD is known as the Urban Cruiser with AWD! It is one cool hatchback!
Thanks to Scotty, my son just bought a 2012 Scion tC 6-speed with only 127k miles. Not a bad price at 5700.00 and it has zero issues.
I got a 2009 xD for my daughter with a peeling clearcoat, however it was well maintained otherwise and we gave it a new paint job. It's been a great car for her. The only negatives for me would be the placement of the PCV which is normally accessible on the top of the engine, is underneath the manifold intake on this car. Just beware there's not much room around the engine to easily do some DIY repairs.
How much was your paint job ?
Toyota execs: "young Americans are not buying new cars like they use to, we need a new brand"
New cars: *cost more than an average young adult earns in a year*
😂
Now it's used cars twice as much as the new ones. Or a 25 year old car just as expensive as a normal used one 3 years ago lol
Wages haven't increased, rent really has, student loans, new cars aren't made the way they used to.
Who can afford a new car?
I bought my daughter a 2009 Scion XA for graduating high school. She drove it all through college. I changed the oil with Mobil 1 every 8000 miles. She put over 200,000 miles on it. No problems. It was a great car.
You're adding value to my second car Scotty, thank you! Original owner of a 2014 xD with 91k miles & I recently traded in my used 2008 TSX with 110k for a used 2019 Frontier 4x4 midnight edition with 15k miles. The xD is amazingly reliable with basic maintenance OMG such a gas saver without the Prius price tag. Thank you for your knowledge Scotty I couldn't have done anything with my vehicles or made wise choices regarding which ones to get without you, you're amazing!
Without the expense of replacing the $4000+ Prius traction battery too.
How geeked was Scotty after he lit up the tires?
My man with another stellar review!!!
If I found a Corolla like the one you had, I'd never sell it. Dang, that thing slaps 🔥🔥 I already own two from the same era, rx60 Cressida and a Nissan Laurel. The only modern vehicle at our house is my wife's 2018 Civic.
Welcome to Tennessee Scotty! I love my xD, thanks for sharing
I love this car. My xD has 95,000 since I bought it in 2011. I've only had one issue in 11 years when I had to replace the evap canister.
We have an '06 Scion Xb, and it is the perfect car for my wife to bang around town and do errands and go to the grocery store. I love driving it, too. Only 2 small concerns: I wish it had factory cruise control, and it has to warm up enough for the cold-engine light to go off before the auto will shift into its highest gear. That 2nd one is kinda strange. We've put over 130K miles on it, and I hope it lasts forever. It's like the Tardis...bigger on the inside. I wish I had 2 of them.
1.8 got it, always thought the Xd and the Tc were sweet little rides and I love a stick
Great presentation! Thank you.
Just brought a 2009 Honda Civic 4c 1.8L. Thanks, Scotty.
I have a 2004 scion xA, and I changed the clutch, and did spark plug myself, and it's running better now. I did a oil change at the Toyota dealer, and a brake switch change, and I find that it runs ok.
Boy did I have that wrong. I always thought that Scion was a Nissan product all this time. Thanks for educating me.
I just recently got my 09 XD. My suburban crapped out and I needed a cheap car quick. Never before has a car pleasantly surprised me like this thing. I'm 6 ft 2, and weigh 280 lb. I can comfortably fit myself, and three friends my size in this thing. Something new amazes me everyday with it. I just found out yesterday that it's apparently rated to tow 3500 lb.
wait can it seriously tow 3500lbs? I have a 2012 xd and I installed a hitch mainly to use hitch-mounted cargo carrier but it could also come in handy if I needed to tow a small trailer. According to my driver's manual, its not rated at all for towing or even for cargo carriers/bike racks. I installed the hitch anyway and have had no problems using it for a cargo carrier but i just make sure not to put too much weight on it.
wife and i bought a 09 xd manual with 43000 back in 2019 and that little car is excellent, we just send it out to puerto rico where we have a vacation place..
I like how Scotty just takes the engine cover of and throws it on the floor. I'd go nuts if someone did that to my car. Lol 🤣
My 09 vibe 2.4 5spd is running great for years. No oil issues. Unfortunately used ones cost 5-7k in good shape. The new Corolla hatchback would be a nice replacement if it wasn’t 20k
I was about to snap up an xB right after the previous owner had the piston rings changed. No oil burning here 👍
You are always funny to watch while we always learn something new. Thanks Scotty! 👍🏻
what's a cd?
@@raven4k998 It is "compact disc" (CD), a molded plastic disc containing digital data that is scanned by a laser beam for the reproduction of recorded music.
@@frankbiz i love how you gave him a straight up answer lmao
We drive a 1998 Avalon with 261k miles and a 2006 Explorer with 180k miles. We could use an affordable car that people don’t laugh at us and will last. No frills works.
We bought a 2008 Rogue with high mileage. Looked well maintained. Didn’t throw any codes. Drove 7 months and transmission died. Sold for parts. Nissan Jatco transmissions are garbage. Now we know. A year ago we were desperate to find a cheap, dependable car. Oh well.
Scion XB--I've had three--first in 2006 had 1.8 liter engine--great car, thought I'd have to push it up mountains, but not so--the 2006 I traded for a 2012 XB with the 2.4 liter engine-my daughter had problems (family issues) so I gave it to her--it's still running like a top.. Bought another 2012-this one white-runs great, uses no oil...I don't think it's as much the engine or engine size as upkeep on the vehicle and how they're driven...I was (retired now) an automotive quality engineer--Scion was a joint venture, Toyota and Subaru, Toyota made the drive train and Subaru made the body--if you can find a GOOD Scion - it's worth it!
I love the way Scotty just gets ahold of those plastic covers and flips them aside. "Hey Scotty, I have a 2006 Camry that's missing the plastic cover. Do you have a spare you can give me"? "Hmm, I think so let me go in my garage. It may take me awhile as there's about 2,000 in there."
ITS CALLED A STUPID BEAUTY COVER !
COINED BY SCOTTY.
are those covers part of the heat/cool equipment?
@@commonconservative7551 the covers solely exist to make the engine compartment look "cleaner"
i personally prefer looking at the engine and everything about it, not some plastic with letters on it
@@UriyZ9mb8e it has an effect on the heating / cooling, It shrouds the engine heat
@@commonconservative7551 it keeps in some of the heat from the engine yes, but actually thats bad for the engine, you want it to be at operating temperature, and if the engine overheats, then the cover will help in keeping it overheated... its possible im wrong, but ive never seen any engine cover that actually helps the engine, unless you count some sort of hood intake thats integrated into the engine cover
I always wondered why some automatic cars had tachometers as they’re really superfluous. Then, I started driving buses: big engines with automatic transmissions, the tachometer is essential as an indicator when there’s a fault like a slipping gear or overheating problem.
Brought a 2013 Scion IQ with 69k miles and it’s great so far
Regarding the hot starting problem...
Check the coil pack (if it has one)
I have a 2004 Aveo that had the same problem intermittently. My research indicated when an older coil pack would get heated up, it could/would malfunction.
I replaced the coil pack and have had no more problems. May be similar in the Scion...
BTW and FWIW...I love my Aveo...It is well maintained (Timing belt at 65K) and totally dependable, nimble and fun.
Thank you for the video.
I own three Scions. the one with the lowest mileage has 142,000 Mi on it. I love it.
I had a 2004 Scion Xb, and I loved it! Roomy (you could wear a top hat in it), fun to drive, reliable (I almost forgot how to open the hood). Plus I loved the bare-bones, non-jazzy, utilitarian look of it. I never liked the 2nd Gen version, although I suppose it was a good car. I wish Toyota would revive the 1 Gen version, as a fun compact 'SUV'.
The problem is that the 2nd generation xB wasn't nearly as good as the 1st. They used the 2.4L "oil-burners" and weren't even technically xBs. They rebadged the Toyota Rumion from overseas, while we missed out on the real 2nd generation Toyota xB (bB).
I find this interesting I had a Rivian truck pass me and a Chevy impala while I was making a food delivery in Ohio. I honestly thought none came off the assembly line pretty interesting my fiancé was like wow that’s quiet I explained to her it’s an electric vehicle.
I absolutely love my ‘12 Scion xb, but it had the same oil problem on the 2.4L. Luckily when they were fixing my airbag recall, they noticed the problem & fixed it for free. Since then I haven’t had a single problem with it!
"Scion" is an Ancient Greek word meaning "student/apprentice" and Toyota was aiming for the Scion brand to be car ownership for beginners
I though 'family scion' meant leader or person who is looked up to in a family. Did I have that wrong?
From Scion also come Science, so it's a very broad term.
I have an '08 Scion xD that was gifted to me because it needed a new timing chain. So I ended up buying a matching engine out of a '13 Corolla for $400 and swapped it myself. Then all it needed was front wheel bearings and it has run like a dream ever since. It's a really zippy little lady. I also have a '16 Scion iM. The last Scion!
Just bought my 2014 xD and mine is the automatic version. I find it to be VERY reliable. Loved the video.
Great tip , they should bring the scion back
Like all manufacturers, they have their good & bad engines. All vehicles just need regular maintenance to keep running right.
💯
You don't work on a variety of makes do you?
Obviously some manufacturers are better than others in terms of reliability and cost of ownership.
My 2010 1.8L 192k just got its first tune up. Omg it runs like new. 5spd 38mpg
Thanks for your video, I'm going to buy the 1.8 L engine Scion
I had an 81 Accord that was hard to start when it was hot and sat for a while. I think it was the ethanol in the gas that was causing it to vapor lock. I spent a lot of money getting that car worked in and nothing worked until I changed the gas.
All the lawns look so nice
9:51 I wouldn’t exactly call that burning rubber, I would call it more like chirping rubber lol but touché Scotty!! I love it :-)
My Scion Gen1 xB TRD is the best car I've ever owned. I just changed the starter myself in under an hour.
The Scion brand was just in NAFTA. The same car model is called Toyota Ist (second generation) Toyota Urban Cruiser. You could also get it with 4WD (only fitted with the turbocharged diesel engine (1.4 liters) on the EUDM.
I’ve had a 2009 Toyota Urban Cruiser. The same car model - only fitted with a smaller engine and a 6-speed manual transmission instead of the 1.8 liter with a 5-speed manual transmission (when not fitted with an automatic transmission).
We never got the Sion in Australia and a replacing the spark plugs fixed the starting issue
That plug doesn't look bad. Insulator barely discolored. Gap looks OK. No misfires. I did my Legacy wagon engine EJ20b front for second time at 200, 000 Km and changed the plugs(platinum) for the first time. Couldn't be bothered changing them at on the first front overhaul. The 3 of the old plugs that I took out at 200K had lost the entire platinum centre electrode and gap was up to about 55 thou. No misfires even at that. I have strong suspicion that the plugs were not the problem in Scotty's case here. I predict some other intermittent problem.
The XA and XB was actually to hook the club kids! Look at the cup holder and dash lights they offered on them, and then look at the 3rd one they offered... called the TC! They dropped the X on that one, but that's exactly who these cars were marketed to... kids that were into the club scene. The third car should have been the XTC! LOL! It was absolutely marketed towards DJs and club kids.
I just got an used 2011 Corolla, it has the 1.8 engine, amazingly it only has 28000 Miles! Like Scotty says drives like a dream.
Those early 80's Toyota had a 4cyl.hemispherical pushrods engine! Very good engine‼️
My 94 Celica has a 1.8 too!
Nice lawn!
Bought a 1 owner 09 XD several months ago with only 20,022 miles on it for my daughter to use in college. Great car.
Update...Car now has 32k miles after owning it for 3 years. Running great.
I own a 2013 xd, love it, 96k, minimum maintenance, 5 spd., fast enough.
As a proud owner of the '11 Urban Cruiser, it's nice to be endorsed by the amazing Mr. Kilmer.
I've owned a 2011 for 10 years with 1.8L engine.
In that time had water leaking from the tailgate, wheel speed sensor fail and the evap cannister needing to be replaced 3 times (each time id take one off of a junked yaris, great for parts for thr xD), clogging AC drain lines. Never needed to change the sparkplugs, had 197km on it. Despite that I'll miss the car. The electric power steering was nice in it too.
Scotty likes it ! and I liked mine a xd 08 with 180k still runs good !
My tc burns so much oil but I also live in the Appalachian Mountains. I just deal with it and keep 5qts with me at all times. Love the car just annoying thing. But mine does give me a hard time starting sometimes
Scon xds are amazing ! Reliable gas saver and there are actually pretty roomy !
Best scion is the iM 2016 beautiful European style Corolla hatchback that looks and drives sporty and is Gad efficient and reliable. Super nice speakers too.
I've got a Scion TC with the 2.5l no issues at all at 85k miles
I bought my daughter a 2008 XD with 43,000 this past summer from a retired school teacher. Barcelona Red auto, and she loves it. Great little car. Her previous car was a 2009 Corolla LE with 263k on the odometer, but it was starting to nickel and dime us. Still got $3300 for it. We love our Toyota's. Or Scion.
2600 RPM not bad at all my 02 CRV uses about 3000 on the 2.4l my dads Getz has to do around 3000 as well and its a 1.6
I got a 2013 Scion xD in 2021 with only 90k mi on it. That thing is a tank. Drove it from CA to NC. I’ve driven that thing to TX and VA. I take good care of it and it takes care of me!
That and I have a 1989 Toyota Corolla LE sedan. Drives like new. These cars are built tough.
Hi Scotty, Can you tell me what the model number is of the “Launch” brand scan tool you used on the Scion in this video? Interested - if Scotty uses it, it must be decent…😉
The lack of an armrest was the big complaint with these vehicles in their hay day. After market ones are readily available.
I can't not think of the emote XD whenever I hear those two letters out together
The 1.5L 1NZ-FE motors found on the Scion XA and Yaris were also prone to oil consumption.
I'm still rocking my orig echo plugs. 22 yrs
I bought a 2008 Toyota Scion with 51k miles 4/6/2024 while watching this video in the dealership of kia. I was in the middle of signing a kia Rio used made in Mexico when i asked the dealer to hold on let me watch if kilmer made a video 😂😂😂. You made a video about not buying used kias made in mexico i broke out laughing in the dealership 😂😂😂 it was so real. Thank you sir after i collected myself i saw they had the scion and i searched your videos on scion. I got a steal 2008 scion xd base (econobox) 1.8 engine 51k miles for 7k$
I bust out laughing every time Scotty throws the beauty covers away!
I had a 99 Oldsmobile Silhouette. Cold starts were fine but it began to not start after getting warm. Ended up being a bad wire from coil pack to engine
Yes Scotty! I love my Toyota Tundra crewmax limited with an V8 engine 💪 on my way to the million miles Tundra club 👍
I think Toyota created the Scion brand back in the early 2000s to cater more to the tuner kids. They were actually kinda popular back then. Those kids grew up got old and started families so they stopped buying these types of cars. The sales just weren't there anymore so Toyota discontinued them
I bought a 2009 XD with 31 miles on it in 2009. It now 2024 and it runs and drives just like the first day i had it. No major issues as long as you maintain it. ive replace an alternator, had suspension work on it, brakes, regular maintance and I have never had any major issues!! Its is ready to turn 200,000 miles at 198,000. I sometimes think to trade it in but why would I want a car payment if I dont have to? I'll run this till the engine can do no more.
Keep beaming us up Scotty
The cars of the past used to have rock wool underneath the hood. This kept the engine warm in the winter. Now they have that plastic piece you pulled off to conserve some of the heat.
Yes that 1.8L is bullet proof I worked at a Lexus Toyota scion dealership. I’d stay away from 2.4 and 2.5 unless it’s 2016/17 and newer 2.5L
Agreed
My 2015 XB is fine. They put correct Pistons. But I know plenty of people who have earlier ones without the issue, or has the work done by Toyota via campaign.
