Wife had a RAV4 for a loner while her Subaru Crosstrek was in the body shop for a month after somebody ran into her. She didn't like the way it drove. Although the seats were a little more comfortable than her Subaru, I thought it was excessive legroom in the front and the cargo area wasn't much more than her Subaru. When I drive my pick up and my cars, I have the seats all the way back and all the way up. The ride was much rougher than her Subaru. I never got used to the wife's transmission because of the CVT but the transmission in the RAV4 seem to be hunting for gears and rough shifts. Sorry it's not on my top-ten list.
10 days ago, you did a video, stop buying new Hondas, they are having major problems. 10 days later you are doing a video on suvs to buy and you recommend Hondas. You do similar things to this often.
At this point, Scotty is just a talk show. He isn't meant to be taken literally. If you want real tips, get it from forums. If you want mechanical and systems information, you can absolutely trust anybody except Scotty but take some of his information with a grain of salt. Been subbed to him for almost 5 years and his money chase system has never changed.
Why with all his money, he has 3 piece of crap Toyota's, why he doesn't lease a different car every year and give us reviews on that vehicle (and scrap those 3 Toyota's) 🤷
Over 2 1/2 years ago we bought a 2018 GMC Denali. It looked and ran like new money. It had a comfortable and smooth ride. Over the time since we've put about 20,000 miles on it (about 56,000 now) and had the regularly scheduled maintenance performed along with driving like we've got good sense. We wash it about once or twice a week. It still looks like it just rolled out of the showroom floor and runs like it too. We're very happy.
Test drove a 2023 Rav-4 and the hybrid version. Prior, I had a FJ Cruiser for 15 years - never had a problem with it. The issue with the RAV is even in the premium trims, it looks and drives like a truck. The hybrid was a smooth ride but they were asking $8,500 over MSRP. I ended up buying a 2024 Mazda CX-50, Meridian edition. I love it.
Toyota dealers drive all customers away from Toyota auto vehicles!! And it accelerates the California Dems's plan to stop selling ICE vehicles!! LoL I would not pay anything more than MSRP or even below MSRP or just buy used car !!
Toyota's aren't the 'perfect vehicle' (I think they're overpriced & not as reliable as they used to be & the old reliable Toyota's are gas hogs, lucky we have the choice to buy other brands like Mazda, Subaru, Hyundai, Suzuki, Ford etc 👍
@@mrgarrison3516yeah because Subaru, Hyundai and Ford never have any reliability issues. Subarus boxer engines are notorious for premature head gasket problems and oil leaks, Hyundai has engines in some models routinely failing at or before 80k miles, and Fords… well they’re Fords, choose your problem there (e.g. check out reliability of explorers and expeditions over last 10 years).
@@williamfrench9973 Your living in the past, Subaru don't have those problems now...where have the been the last 30 year? F**king your Toyota in the exhaust
Scotty, unless the engineers have increased the safety of the 3rd row seating area of any vehicles, I'd NEVER put any humans or even pets that I love in the 3rd row seats. As a police officer (retired) I worked numerous collisions where rear end crush was catastrophic. Any person sitting in the 3rd row was always injured the most and many of them were fatal.
Thank u for this very valuable info. I was seriously considering a 3 row suv, specifically a Toyota highlander. After reading this comment, that idea is definitely out. I will stick to a standard suv.
For cars that are as good as the Rav4, ALWAYS get the "tweaked" model, as in 5th generation and NOT the "new" one... JUST in case there's something wrong with it. NEVER buy the 1st year of a brand new model. You'll be stuck with the most problems { problems get worked out over YEARS and eventually they get solved, or as solved as the manufacturer wants them to be} but if you get the 5th or 6th model year of that generation, all of the bugs should be worked out and you will be as safe / set as possible with the fewest problems.
Aside from sorely overlooking Subarus, you also forgot the 2023 Toyota Venza-some call it a Camry SUV, and others say it should’ve been a Lexus-a hidden gem.
Been following the Mazda CX 90, and got one recently (Turbo Preferred Premium) and it does not disappoint, I still prefer 6-cylinder engines vs I4 Turbo's...Nice to see it was part of your special mention.
I love the Mazdas but I can't stand that wheel-driven infotainment system. It's a deal breaker for me. I don't know why they persist with it. They're claims about safety are complete nonsense.
I was thinking the same but then learned that they took that engine that should be very easy to work on and made it completely unworkable for anyone.. to do any engine work other than an oil change the engine has to be removed this is because they put the timing chains and all other components including the turbo behind the engine... WTF! And then there's the hybrid system that's such a disappointment that they had to put a separate starter for cold starts 🙉 the whole thing is just sad.. I wanted that inline 6 so bad but looks like I'll have to look elsewhere
I had a 2004 Pilot and now have the 2023 Pilot. It’s a great vehicle. The 3.5l v6 almost hasn’t changed and is bullet proof. It’s a little quicker in the 2023 but it’s the same naturally aspirated engine. This is probably one of the contributing factors to its smog rating! Truthfully I don’t care, the engine is great. Very happy.
I own a 2010 one of the worst rated ones and I’ve never ever atchually had to fix anything on it except for a recall and oil changes and things like that
@@TechDealz I’m sure your right, but I still like the fact that the Honda Pilot didn’t follow the trend of changing engine types and adding turbos to the Pilot. Just use what has proven to work.
Think you're right. I drive a 2013 Acura TL 3.7l SH-awd and it's bullet-proof. When I'm ready for SUV.. Your 2023 Pilot will be @ the top of my list. Hoping many people leased it and will return after 3-4 years. Will be a great cash buy.
I’m surprised you mentioned a very new cx90 and not the proven cx5. Own a 5 myself and love it. The interior is far superior to competitors and the transmission and engine are typical mazda zoom zoom. You always say made in Japan is best. Thank god they are done with ford and doing what they do best
I agree. I watched an in-depth review by @TheCarCarenut who loved the styling - but some of the mechanical design decisions seem destined to lead to problems. Time will tell I guess. I also agree that the cx5 deserves a mention. I’ve rented a few of these and have found them to be nice to drive.
So...for only 6k what do you expect goofy...hope you changed the oil. Nobody wants to hear any car at 6k...talk back to us once it reaches 100k...goof!
Great, but only time will tell how reliable your 2023 pilot is. My 07 Honda pilot has now 156k miles only the radiator is not original due to rust. I recently completed a 1k road trip.
@@richsweeney1115 you're not wrong there, if the individual keeps up on good regular maintenance and doesn't strain the engine and transmission too much. they're alright in respect to fords. hondas are pretty fun vehicles in general.
We have a 2020 Kia Telluride S model. We love it. Still do. Purchased new almost 4 years ago now. Definitely our most liked vehicle we have ever had too. Has 62k on it now. It burns zero oil between intervals. I run full synthetic oil in it and change every 5k. We will see long term how it holds up but I’ve had 2 other Kias that went well over 200k with no issues.
@@bigbadjohnpesek9894 👍🏻 Overall I am a Toyota guy but my wife wanted the Telluride. I definitely liked the looks of it and still 4 years later I think it’s one of the best looking SUV’s out there. I’m also not saying Kia has had some issues over the years but I’ve seen and read many many testimonies of being reliable too. Also as much as I do like Toyota they have had models/engines over the last 25 years that were not the best either.
@@johndale8614 Hybrid. I had some issues with it since. Had to replace fuel injectors with pipe assembly as well as a spark plug. Once in a while sensor lights come on like lane assist and lane departure advising me to see dealer. Dealer acts like there nothing there.
We keep the third row of our 2022 highlander folded down and just use it as extra cargo space. If need to take an extra kid home from soccer practice can flip em up.
I am not sure about the CX90 Model? But as the owner of 2018 & 2021 CX9 back to back, I find Mazda to the most underrated crossover in the last 5/6 Years. ✌✌✌
Seeing this comment after I just bought a 2021 CX-9 Touring with a little over 22,000 miles. It's only been a few days but... I love it. Super underrated vehicle. I know they discontinued them, but I will wait a few years and maybe get a CX-70 or CX-90 PHEV. For now, this car has all I need and more.
I'm still partial to the Mazda CX5. I own a 2020 Signature. I test drove everything and it easily stood out. I worry about the hybrid battery costs if the powertrain fails after most 60,000 mile warranty and those CVT's. Around $3000-$7000 for a new battery makes me cringe. I guess too each their own. The CX5 does everything well. Sticking with it.
You should test drive a KIA Telluride. Better than all the SUVs you list. You are prejudiced against Korean cars, but they have improved a lot, and my Telluride is the BEST vehicle I have ever owned. I had 8 new cars when I worked (Company provided, due to my position) and 3 new cars since I retired. By far, the Kia Telluride is the best. Everyone who has traveled in it have commented on how nice it is. Scotty, test drive a 6 cylinder Telluride.
I just got a 23 buick envision preferred and got 8k off of MSRP plus 1500 rebate. Dealerships in my area are desperate to get rid of the 23 models. My payment is lower than it would have been on the used SUVs I was looking at that were 5+ yrs old. What a crazy market lol
I'm looking at this Envision as well and was surprised how good. Will look for those reduced prices and rebates. I'm in Canada, so I haven't seen many reductions yet.
@@noreenmurphy3591 I went on the last day of the month. I think that helped Usually when I buy, I go on one of the last days of the year. This time around I couldn't wait that long.
Pilot is my favorite one, because it looks great an still has an NA V6 engine which belongs in that body style... bet you anything they gave it a poor smog rating just because they used a regular V6 instead of a turbo charged 4 cyl. I'm sorry but I'm not trusting a turbo 4 cyl in a body that size. The whole reason I'm getting the Pilot over the Highlander. Toyota is moving in the whole turbo direction and I'm not about it.
@@jackofalltrades4844 I'm about to get one in a couple of months and I'm so ready. I'll miss my F150 and 2010 RX350 though. Both have been solid and been good to me.
I purchased a 2023 Pilot and have had it for about two months. I am a Honda loyalist and have driven nothing but Hondas since 95. I have had two Civics and two Accords. However, I did have an issue that arose with my 05 Civic which was a head gasket issue. One of my coworkers had the same exact issue in an 04 or 06, I forget what year. I can chalk this up as a glitch in that generation. Other than that, I have had no major problems. I just traded in a 13 Accord with 262,000 miles on it. The main reason I got the Pilot was because it still has that V6 power. I prefer the power, so I just deal with the gas prices. I detest that many of these companies have gone mainly to a 4 cylinder or the turbo charged 4 cylinder engines. I just can’t see having this small engine in something the size of a Pilot. I would have gotten another Accord but everything is either a Hybrid, 4 cylinder, or 4 cylinder turbo. I love the handling, comfort, space, and look of the Pilot. This generation they went back to the boxy look which looks great. The 6 has a lot of oomph to it as well.
Love our 2020 Kia Sorento V6. We’ve had two Highlanders. The Sorento is just as reliable for 5k less. The RAVA 4 sells because of the lower cost but it’s is uncomfortably much smaller. The Sorento is as big inside as the Highlander.
@@juanitahardy8583 We have a 2016 SXL Sorento. Only have 81K miles, but have replaced the battery twice, tires once and the oil pressure sensor once. We rated it higher than the Highlander when deciding which one to buy.
@@juanitahardy8583 I have 7 years old Hyundai Ioniq, 123000 miles on the clock and everything still original and works as like it is new! I know it is Hyundai, but KIA and Hyundai have share the same parts, my Ioniq hybrid share parts with KIA niro Hybrid!
BUY A NEW SUV!!! Scotty the Cost of Groceries has gone through the roof, Not to mention the Mortgage Payment, the Utilities et., I CAN'T AFFORD NEW HIGHER RISING PRICES OF AUTO"S. EVERYONE IN THE WORLD I KNOW IS GETTING POORER,.......SO TO HELP US THE AUTO MAKERS ARE CONSTANTLY RAISING THEIR PRICES !!! I"VE GOT OLD TOYOTA'S SCOTTY AND I"M STAYING RIGHT THERE, RENEWING THEM, ENJOYING THEM, Please keep helping us viewers keep our Vehicles maintained up, so we can go safely back and forth, to work in them, Thank You Scotty!!!
I own a pilot with 120k+ miles and it's been solid. Various issues came up and were covered under warranty and even after warranty they somehow still covered it! Still, my next SUV will probably be the Toyota Grand Highlinder.
I saw a grand highlander today for the first time in downtown Miami. Beautiful vehicle with a lot of presence. I left Honda due to our past 4 Hondas giving us transmissions and ac failures before 150k miles.
@@xxk4rilsxx had you had a 4 cylinder honda,you'd still be on the first one. But I've seen many v6 hondas with the orignal tranny at 200k.. I'll say this again ...toyota isn't what it used to be....even scotty has said it... but they're tin and plastic that's way overpriced....
I really like the new Acura MDX! Smooth power, great comfort and sporty handling for 20-30k less than BMW, Mercedes or Porsche. Plus insurance less expensive than German cars.
What About the RDX I got a 2022 best car I ever bought and had a2018 before that and it was great both are problem free at least for me, better bang for compared to a BMW or Mercedes
Research shows, to me, that the current RAV-4 is obsolete. You would have thought that Toyota wouldn't let this happen. Current RA-4 vehicles are like lumber wagons compared to the new Honda CRV. Don't take my word for it, test drive both and see for yourself. Have a good day! Love your shows.
I have a Suzuki Grand Vitara 2016, went to look for the RAV, but the RAV is smaller on the inside and the price is double that of my Suzuki and it's less luxurious. And to top it off, standard yearly maintenance is almost 3 times more than that of the 2016 Suzuki. Just so odd. Ok, fuel economy is lots better on the RAV as that's not full time 4WD and is hybrid. It just stunned me.
Great. Don’t buy a new one. Our 2014 Ford expedition was nothing but trouble. The new 2023 Ford Explorers already have numerous recalls. Not to mention the police Explores that were killing police officers due to carbon monoxide poisoning being emitted into the cab of the vehicle. Keep your 03’ because Ford is crap these days with more dangerous recalls than any other car manufacturer selling in the US.
Scotty clearly has a love for Toyota/Lexus and I, also a mechanic, completely appreciate this because I know they are almost always the best and most reliable cars around. But I’ll still take my ‘92 4Runner over the RAV4. My wife will probably end up with that 😂
Dealer told me Japs made Toyota for rural areas where there is no garage near by. I just got a Rav4 after having Honda for 20 years and going to switch back to Passport or Pilot. The gear shifter bugs me as I have nerve damage in my hands and hard to shift, like having a manual trans without the clutch. LOL.....
Just traded my 2020 Lexus 350RX in for the new 2023 Honda Pilot Trailsport. Loved my Lexus but couldn't be happier with the Pilot trailsport. It can go right from the country club to the remote campsite - can't beat that!
I agree, I just drove from the Bay area to La, 6.5 hours and did it on one tank of fuel getting 38 mpg. I rented a Mitsubishi hybrid before and did the same trip, I had to stop for gas 3/4 of the way through the trip.
I bought a 2022 Honda Passport AWD Trailsport. Great vehicle. It gets 15-20 mpg if I'm only driving in-town 1 or 2 miles at a time. I get 25-31 mpg on the road! It replaced a 2006 VW Passat turbo-4 that got 20-23 mg in-town, and 30 mpg on the road. I needed more room.
Could have very easily just cut the hondas, added the 4runner and sequoya, and called it a day with only toyotas. Maybe keep the Mazda just as a "SURPRISE!!!" entry.
Honda's are great. Had a CRV for 6 years and not a single slightest tiniest issue, nothing, nothing at all. Best car I ever had. Unfortunately it doesn't score very high in crash test nowadays otherwise would buy a new CRV in a heartbeat.
I'm on the fence on getting a 2023 Mazda CX5. I think it's beautiful inside out. It deserved to be on this video. Maybe you can make a video of it someday scotty
Really don’t I use to pay off my cars and keep them and then the problems and I felt like every weekend I was fixing something or replacing something and it’s expensive and time so it’s like a damn car payment so I said I’m done with this and just started getting rid of them so not deal with problems I live in Florida the wife needs a reliable suv and new it’s to hot to break down with my twins and I have a new truck f150 got it 2019 and only has 57k on it not a single problem may have it a little longer cuz I didn’t like the new ones waiting on the refresh
What is the best evaluation of the Subaru Ascent from 2021 or 2023? I hope you will discuss the evaluation of the performance of each of them. Thank you
My 2002 Honda CRV, bought new, has only two parts changed excluding regular maintenance items.: an 02 sensor and a knock sensor. (I replaced both myself.) My 2014 Honda pilot never has had any issues.
I’m in the market for a smaller SUV. Keep in mind, I owned a 2014 for expedition with 156k 2010 NAVIGATOR with 98k Both vehicles are amazing in my book, space, power, reliability, forget about the MPG! So it’s really hard for me to pick a new vehicle, there’s nothing out there that tickles my wallet! Thank you Scott, but I’m keeping my Americans
After looking at all the new stuff--- I'm tempted to buy a USED LEXUS GX470 or 460... and YES I know they're gas guzzlers- but I won't be out that much- and when I do- I want to go where I want to go with NO issues--- and the GX will OUTPERFORM any jeep. Theyre also documented to go over million miles.. and are HIGHLY customizable. I like the Mazda CX-50 for look- and the CX-5 for performance-- but neither is good on much but wet roads or normal driving- even deep snow is hard for them. GX can go where a jeep can't- and if it gets really bad- turn on the lockers (I'd have front and rear lockers installed ) and air down and go.. can't do that on these low things... SO I think I'm going to just get a lexus. I know two coimpanies that RECONDITION them and have good prices on selling. Mirramr in San Diego CA- goes through them and does reboots, checks any linkages, electrical- everything-- and since most of theirs are California vehicles- NO RUST.. so that would be great- and they have them ALREADY lifted with stuff I want done!!! I'd just have to go drive it back.. not sure of shipping costs. (to VIRGINIA) That's only 2370 miles..
love the GX Lexus and they put the awesome V8 proven engines from lexus in these SUVs! Plus can tow and lot of space. Big SUV takes getting used to driving feels like driving a bus or tank however compared to the smaller RX.
@@GuitarsAndSynths YEP- that's another reason I decided against it- that and the 8 mpg.. is I only have ONE eye now- depth perception NOT good.. and the parking spaces in most lots now is BARELY wide enough for the small cars we have now-- with little to no room to get out-- much less put a big SUV in them.. :) Oh well- guess I'm too old and too bad shape for that and my time has passed for it..
@@dons1643 Outa my range- and not sure about the mileage...I decided on Mazda CX-50 Meridian with a 1.5 inch factory lift.. that'll do the only offroading I really need to do..
Infiniti QX 80 and Nissan Armada are dynamite rigs and I own one of each. Excellent reliability, good performance and massive interior volume and cargo carrying capacity.
@@cormaro13The Jatco made CVT was the main problem, but most large Nissan and lately Infiniti don’t have the CVT since it can’t handle the weight and power. So the vehicles with the Jatco CVT are generally less reliable than the Nissan/Infiniti vehicles without it.
Always loved Honda over Toyota. All I care is getting a proven gas engine with a standard transmission.....no compromise in the latter so Toyata is no competition in the economical gas market.
My '13 RAV4 Limited just passed 190k. It's not as modern looking or as quick as my friend's CX-5, but I'll take reliability over appearances. My Dad has a Highlander Limited and my Mom has the Lexus RX-350. They're all super reliable.
I'm the original owner of a 2005 Honda Pilot EXL-RES & 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD-ORP a now a 2022 Honda Passport Trailsport & honestly the Honda Passport should've been on this list. The interior space the decent quality & comfort of the seats/leather the cargo space the overall size clearance space from it's hight off the ground and overall look IMHO is good. I could be wrong but the 2022 Passport powertrain, V6 with its transmission is a proven powertrain system that has a lot history in previous Hondas. The only downfall to the Passport is the technology of their entertainment system but I'm here for the ride from point A to point B.
I am interested in the Passport. I don't like the gear shift in Toyota vehicles. I am used to the Odyssey EXL and Accord Touring so I am spoiled. Going back to a Honda.
@joyceflorida7111 Best of luck, the passport definitely has its quirks expressionly when It's in cruise control and the lane assist but overall in my opinion I think it's a good vehicle compared to the competition.
@@joyceflorida7111my 04 Tacoma and 95 4Runner have great 5 speeds...couldn't ask for better gear shifts. My brother's 17 4Runner does have an automatic, but I was able to drive it okay.
My 2024 BMW X5 is amazing. I know you don’t like BMW’s thinking they’re overpriced and I might even agree. An Infinity RX80, more expensive, would be my second choice. There’s not much that can pry me out of my X5 other than my M4.
Scotty, you should’ve had the Subaru Forester in your list! It’s not the most powerful or trendy, but it’s emblematic of great reliability, outstanding AWD, and consistent IHHS safety plus ratings. Subarus shouldn’t be undermined.
surprised that you chose to talk about the cx-90 over the cx-5. looks like a fantastic car but like you said, it's not proven yet. the cs-5 has been sold for a decade now with a very solid track record, and you can buy a top-end trim for under 40 grand (with a turbocharged 2.5 4 cyl). might not be fantastic if youre really about having seating for 8, but id probably recommend the 5 over the 90 6 days of the week
