A friend of my daughter backed into her 92' manual Nissan Stanza when she was in high school 20 years ago. The insurance company gave us a check for $2500, for damage to the hood and grill. We used a bungee cord to keep the hood closed and used the money to buy our 3 teenage girls a second car/ a used Camry for them. We were going to need to get a second car for our girls anyway since the oldest one was leaving for college. The youngest ones didn't mind driving the damaged Stanza. My kids were pretty low maintenance.
I got a Toyota celica automatic, 1995 st, can’t hear it run. It’s got the carrola engine. Over 300,000 miles still runs great. Oil is clean, no smoke. Love it.
I had a 1965 Ford pickup. A lot of people thought it was an automatic until they got confused by the clutch pedal on the floor. Most people these days never have seen a 3 on the tree shifter.
I saw an early 90s Corolla on the street recently. It still looked new. It was probably garage kept and driven little but still, a lot of other cars won't last that long even if you keep them in the garage and maintain them fanatically.
Much respect to people driving well maintained and groomed old cars regardless of age and model. Beater is a state of mind. You can tell a lot about people by how presentable or lousy their car looks and runs. If you can't afford maintaining a car, either work harder or get a bike. Even when I was younger going to school and working at a Pizza Hut, no way was I rolling in a rinky-dink rust bucket. It was my first car, an old 2nd hand corolla, parts are cheap not replace what needed to be replaced and me and a friend did the paint, interior was well kept. Put on some nice aftermarket second hand eBay rims and had it lowered. It wasn't fast but it was always fresh, clean and reliable. It was efficient and got me to places on a cheap. A lot of DIY work, it started my education in cars. I took care of it so it took care of me, never let me down not even once.
My dad was a die hard Toyota guy. He was sold on the Toyota engine when he bought a 1987 Chevrolet Nova that was built with a Toyota engine. The more I watch your videos I am convinced that Father knew best about Toyotas
My mom bought an '85 Nova bare bones NO option's even had an AM radio. in '92 when I got my license I inherited the car. Once i got the engine tuned up and the oil changed (which I don't think had ever been done) and had a half decent stereo put it in it ran great. The car got me through college at one point I was putting 1000 miles a week on it and it just ran without complaint. Still the BEST snow car I've ever had. I've owned 4 cars, 3 of them have been some variant of the Corolla.
For most of my childhood, my grandpa worked for a Toyota dealership as the service manager. All but 1 of my cars have been Toyotas. The non Toyota was the biggest mistake of my life.
I'm pushing 60. As a kid, we weren't allowed to apply for our learner's permit unless we could drive a manual. (Dad's rules). I learned on an old Plymouth wagon with a "three on the tree". While most of my CARS have been automatic (A few big Buicks over the years), My trucks have been manual. No frills and mechanical simplicity is what I look for in a truck (and THAT'S getting harder to find...).
I have a 04 vibe with the 1zz-fe and it's literally outlasted every single other vehicle i have ever owned, and it's so easy to work on it taught me so much about doing my own maintenance. Plus in the winter with some good snow tires I'm passing big gass guzzler SUVs and trucks who are stuck. Plus having the hand e break it makes for a fun durable car.
I specifically hunted down a manual 2015 Scion XB 3 years ago. Its fun, efficient, versatile. And reliable as heck! I’ll have it for many many years years!
For me personally I prefer a standard transmission. I learned on and got my license in a 5 speed manual transmission with a 1.8 liter. My original clutch lasted 274,000 miles and I've roasted more than my fair share of rubber off the tires. I'd personally take a stick over an automatic any day. Thank you Scotty for giving us the truth and helping people out. ❤️
Same, been driving manual transmission since I was 16 and I’m almost 30 and have zero interest in “driving” and automatic. Heck I even get excited at work when I get to drive the toro workman 3-speed golf carts 😂
@@21DaHoagie12 likewise. I originally learned to drive on all the dirt roads when I was 11 or 12. Needless to say I got my license on the first try. I learned how to drive years before and automatics just don't feel right to me. Not having a clutch is practically a foreign thing to me. Lol.
@@josephtrunk3565 I'm lucky not to have arthritis but I was driving my econobox manual after knee surgery after the two days it took to stand and hobble to the car on crutches. That's how light the clutches are. The pain killers may have helped too.
Manuel is the Mexican gardener that takes care of your flowers. Manual is the (standard) shift transmission in your car. Vanna White sold you the wrong vowel.. lol
My grandparents neighbor had a Corolla that looks like that, but it was an 05' model year and it had a beige exterior color. I would visit her sometimes since I was little, and she loved daily driving it a lot!! Unfortunately she sadly passed away at 84 years old after she had a stroke this year. It also means that her Corolla ended up on sale after it had about 430k miles, and her daughter and one of her family members were planning on moving there, but didn't feel comfortable anymore. Unfortunately the house was sadly taken down a couple months after she passed away :((
My first car was a 1988 Honda Accord (standard). I’m almost 38 years old now. I haven’t drove a standard in nearly 20 years, but I’m sure I could if needed today. I’ve seen some people freak out about standards. They’re really not that big of a deal.
Modern automatics are so good that there's little need for a manual. They can shift much faster than the time it takes to manually shift. I never saw the big deal either, it's just pressing a pedal and moving a stick to me, but to each their own.
When we lived in San Diego in 71 our friend carted us around in an old '49 ford truck that had a bad starter. He would park it on a hill so he could pop the clutch in low gear to start it. Took a trip to Tijuana, Mexico in it once and parked it on a level street. We had to bodily push it so he could pop the clutch.
I have an 07 Corolla, my kid has an 04. And even my coworker bought an 06xrs Corolla. All of them have at least 200k miles on them and never have problems, thanks Scotty!
Scotty been watching your videos for years appreciate your advice although I don't always follow it I have two sons their first cars were standard Transmissions on purpose my father always told me if you can drive a standard you can learn to drive anything and I live by that
I dunno where Scotty live but in the North East (NY, NJ, PA, DE) people are fist fighting over low milage Toyota or Honda products with manual transmission. Whoever sold that for $1200 was crazy.
Yes you're right it's getting harder to find cheap and in decent condition. I refuse to let go of my 2005 Scion XB for rust issues. It's a manual transmission, not as zippy as the 05 Corolla I had that was a manual tranns too. It seems like rust is a problem with these older vehicles because no one properly cares for them and wash off the salt off their car.
My car is this exact model (with the stick) Has 140K and gets 38-40 highway and 36 in town (I run the tires at 40psi). Car is fun to drive and I never worry about if it gets a ding. Only thing I've had to replace on it is the headlights, front brakes and rotors, spark plugs, tensioner belt, suspension, air bag sensor, tensioner seal, and valve cover gasket. Did all the work myself, car is very easy to work on and incredibly well designed. Also, very cheap to insure. Only thing that doesn't work anymore is the clock. I'd recommend it to anyone who wants a poor man's sport car.
How ironic that I watched the manual Mazda video earlier today and you mentioned it in this video. I love my Scion xB, per your recommendation. For a 2005, it's super reliable and fun to drive with a manual transmission. Thanks, Scotty!
Thanks for the video. After my Trailblazer failed on me, my sister gave me her old 2003 Corolla. It sat for 2 years in the garage. We changed the battery and it started no problem. I’m just keep getting a engine light for evac codes. Tried everything still comes from time to time. I get it cleared and keep going. Love ya keep the videos coming.
on older cars if you just scrub your headlights real good with the window wiper at the gas stations, it will polish them over time and improve the light output if you have older bulbs. what i do is wash about half my windows and then scrub one headlight since the small dirt acts kind of like a polishing grit. then do the other half and the other headlight. keeps headlights looking brand new without that sun yellowing. careful of the paint around the headlights since it will damage it. newer cars this is harder with their non flat healdight deigns.
Manual transmission is the best. Enjoyed our Willeys Military Jeep with foot starter and 3 speed. No power steering but not bad to drive at all here in the Philippines.
Sir Scotty definitely agree with you Toyota was built to last for many years! I am still driving my Toyota Corolla GLI 1996 Model - the machine are dependable and the best in terms of comfort in driving!
Four years ago I bought a Canadian built 2008 Corolla. It had only 76,000 kilometres on it at the time. Now has just over 110,000. It’s been at great car so far. Fourteen years old and the AC still blows cold! Only one major repair so far, the cam chain cover gasket and water pump replaced in 2019. It’s the same colour blue as the one in your video. I call it recycle bin blue. Even with the automatic transmission it’s fairly peppy. Way more than my 2002 Saturn SL2 was. Great video Scotty.
@David Mclay only 110,000 km on a 2008 boy that’s rare! I have a 2006 Matrix with that 1ZZ-FE Corolla engine, I’m in Canada and it has 246,000 kilometres and it’s 17 years old and it’s been flawless more me. The biggest expense with it has been tires. That’s it. It still has the original water pump, A/C compressor, alternator (battery is 3 years old tho), and even these original parts show no signs of slowing down yet. The interior & exterior are still nice and mint, particularly the interior, (tinted windows have helped that), I’ve had it for 3 1/2 years now and I plan on driving it for another 15 years and another 246,000 km these cars are so reliable. Mine is an auto.
Yeah I'm one of the manual guys at my shop although I basically ride the clutch. No damage is done though since its just from the parking lot to the shop. For road tests, I have to get someone who actually knows how to drive
@@erickt2665 yep those are fun too. Even better I had the 2 little girls I was babysitting in the backseat while I was stalling out on the highway. I learned quick lol. Those were the good ole days
We had a 2008 Corolla. Bought it at 30K and Sold it at 130K miles to a relative. All we ever did was regular maintenance, filled it up with the cheapest gasoline and drove it. It was a Tank. To date, the most reliable car we ever had period. We even sort of used it as a pick up truck. When we bought cement bags, lumber or pipes especially we would pop the trunk and put the stuff in and tie everything down and tie the trunk lid down. It surprised me that even on slopes and exceeded weight limits the vehicle just kept going. It was not even garage kept during the 100K miles we drove it. My relatives are still driving it. Her highschool son drives it like its a maniac but no trouble yet. Its got 200K miles now still going strong. The only thing they changed was a new set of tires and a new battery and its going like a clock.
I’m so thankful, my dad taught how to drive a stick shift. He had a 1965 Ford-150 and said, once you learn how to drive this vehicle, you’ll be able drive any car etc.💯
I've been enjoying the '06 Toyota Corolla I've been driving. It's nearing 194,000 miles. Had to replaced the radiator fan assembly in a auto parts store parking lot. So far it's been a diy friendly car.
@Patrick Kennedy they are the best generation of Corolla by far. Because you have available crank windows & manual transmissions but still get airbags and OBD2. Other Corollas don’t offer than combination really.
2007 Corolla manual owner here. It was given to me by my sis and BIL, after they bought a Rav 4 for cash. First gear start out can be really quick, as the engine is peppy on startup. Just passed 300k miles. BTW, on that model, the odometer stops at 299, 999. You can use the trip meter to measure miles, or you can pay a couple hundred to re-do the odometer. OR, you can leave it as is. Either way, these are great cars.
I learned to drive in a 60 Dodge Phoenix, 6-cylinder 3-on-the-tree, with Armstrong steering and Flintstone brakes. After mastering that, I could drive anything with wheels. I still enjoy driving a stick, they are more peppy than an automatic. My high school car was a 66 Chevelle with a 283 V-8 and a 4-speed!! Dented and rusty, but my buddies thought I was so cool having a "muscle car". Yeah, a whole 160 horsepower monster!!! Hahahaha!!!
My wife bought a 2 year old ‘96 Honda Civic EX in 1998. We sold it in 2015 with almost 300,000 miles on it. Still ran great, everything worked on it including the AC that was never touched!!!
I learned to drive in a late 1950's era Willy's Jeep truck. It had 2 sticks one for shifting gears other to engage 4 wheel drive. No power steering etc. It was built like a tank! Plus it had a snow plow with its sticks. I tore up the country lawn alongside the dirt drive but it was fun and hilarious.
My Mom never liked Our Datsun B210. She was used to having a 3 speed on the Column. She Never could get used to 4 on the floor. She thought She was supposed to put it in 1st gear all of the time. I am surprised that She didn't tear the transmission out of the Datsun B210.
I own a 97 corolla that I brought 2 years ago for $1100 it had 100k miles on it , I drive it every day have only put new tires & brakes on it now has 120k and runs like a champ!
My parents bought a new 06 Toyota Corolla (same generation) with the 5-speed manual, they used it to commute to LA for about 8 years racking up 195k miles, then sat in the driveway for long periods of time but occasionally still drove it, I turned 18 in 2016 and needed a car for college so my dad attempted to teach me manual while learning how to drive, and I learned and so the 2006 Toyota Corolla became my 1st car! It had 203k miles when given to me, I drove the car throughout my 4 years of university along with taking it on many many long drives and road trips and never left me stranded, I put 120k miles on it!!!! During my ownership though I needed to get a new clutch at 210k miles, alternator at 250k miles and starter at 275k miles but that’s it! Impressive for an over 200k mile car!!!!! At 320k miles though and 4 1/2 years of ownership I crashed it though unfortunately…but my parents definitely said that car lasted far far far longer then they ever imagined so definitely was worth their money when buying it back in 06 and lasting 14 years with 320k miles lol
I have a 2011 Toyota Corolla that has a 2ZR-FE engine, with automatic transmission, which I heard was the super reliable sucessor to the engine in this car that you looked at. It's at 153,000 miles, being used for delivery driving, yet, I hope it will last a long time.
In the 1990’s I made Shift Handles for 8th Gen Corolla the QC was seemingly ridiculous BUT now nearing30 years later I have Never seen a used roller with the rubber stuff blistered, cracked ,chipped or peeling off …and I am a proud owner of a 99 w 175k Roll On !!!
I'm 58 and one thing I'm proud of is I leaned how to drive a manual when I was 16 and I've owned 5 cars with stick shifts over the years. I don't have one now but at least I know how to drive one.
My previous 2004 Echo hatchback was already 15 years old and I wanted to sell it. Then my parents decided to give me their 2004 Corolla LE. Turns out it only had 66km (41miles) on this vehicle. So I had the CD player swapped out for a new Bluetooth system. Added heated seats to both front seats. Just had a thorough maintenance tune-up. The car drives so smoothly.
Scotty, I have a funny story. My wife, before she was my wife, bought a 1985 Dodge Colt with a standard transmission because she couldn't afford the auto. She never drove standard before but took it home with minimal instruction. She lived in NYC! She drove it home! An added benefit was that none of her family borrowed it because it was standard. What a woman!
I’ve driven a standard transmission from a 1953 Cambridge 218 flathead 3 on the tree (not fast but very dependable) up. My current vehicle is a 2004 Toyota Corolla 1.8L with automatic transmission. I’m not displeased at 290,000 miles & works as well as when I bought it. 31+ miles per gallon & in 9 years only replaced wheel hubs, tires & regularly serviced. Runs as good as the day I bought it. The only thing that’s gone bad is the clock & the the charcoal filter valve. I don’t mind gassing up slow & have no vehicle inspection here so I’ll keep driving it until the wheels fall off as I drive conservatively & it’s paid for. I plan to buy a Tacoma so I can occasionally haul things (as it also has a good reputation) to replace my 1994 F350 dually crew cab (7.3L diesel). Maybe I’ll get a Camry or a standard shift Miata but if the Corolla is still going I’ll keep it too. No sense not having a back up.
When you said 1.8. I almost broke down in tears. Had 94corolla had to get rid. Thought. Gas gauge was broke. Cause $5 up to quarter to half tank. Bulletproof
Yep had an 03 Corolla automatic. Best cheap car ever. Nothing broke Nothing fancy it just (worked). Sad day when it got in an accident cost too much to fix.
Living in Atlanta for 26 years, having a manual transmission back when back when we moved here wasn't a big deal back in the 90s . There's too much traffic now where it's just too much of a hassle, unless people are a true manual transmission junky.
This collision thing happens more often than you might think. You get bumped, the body shop gives you an estimate, you submit the estimate to the insurance company, you get a check and you then fix the dent yourself. Not illegal. But if you're handy, and the car is older and not worth putting the money into it, it makes sense to pocket the money.😉
So I got an 07 Corolla sitting outside. A blue one too. Mine's an automatic though. the vehicle is easy to upgrade the interior which is what I did with mine. I put in an interior floor led strip kit, a dash cam, alexa auto, and an android auto multimedia reciever with a windshield phone holder. I was doordashing with it, I actually profit off the doordash gas reimbursement, the car gets 35 mpg at worst and 40 highway at best. That's a 13 gallon tank, that puts 500 miles in the tank. I drive 100 to 200 miles a day because the area I'm dashing in is rural. I get 1 dollar per mile which is around 31 dollars profit from doordash per gallon. If you have a high efficency car like the 07 corolla, you should doordash with it as a side hustle.
Had an 83 Toyota tercel manual. When it was cold, it didn't want to shift into second gear til it warmed up. It ran better when it had new spark plugs, so I was always changing them for that smoother feel, but a couple hundred miles later it was back to the old normal.
Ha, if you start looking at Toyota Matrixes that had hubcaps, you’ll notice a good deal of them missing all 4 if them - not sure why tho - maybe the way they made the steel rims that they attach to ? Anyway, I had a 2005 Matrix, but it was a flood car I bought from a curbstoner salesman and was desperate at the time - so the bottom chassis was super duper rusted - had the ZZE engine and it ran great and was peppy!
My dad taught my older sister, by 4yrs, to drive and it was in a little '68 bug. I was 11yrs and my dad taught me as well and now I'm 50 and have only owned one vehicle with an automatic, which I had for less than a year. A standard is the best security system to have because it's a lost art, but I love them.
Granddaughter's Boyfriend blew up my engine on a 2002 5.9 dodge ram. I let it set for 6 months then decided to put a low mileage engine in it. Guys that did it did a great job but the mice had eaten the harness. That costs a fortune to chase down. Blew the computer then no bus on the harness. Finally found that the single bus wire was chewed in two at the cam sensor and ignition. Wound up costing an extra thousand for computer, wire harness, Froze right front caliper and a specialist to come chase wires. Do not let one sit. Oh yeah and it had a skim security. They were so glad when I drove it away.
You crack me up Scotty! Manuel Transmissions are why I drive a Rambler. And with overdrive! Years ago I had a drag race from a traffic light with a model T! The old Rambler was doing near 65 in 2nd overdrive! The model T turned out to be a race car!
It was the exact same platform they just changed bumpers/nose/rear & interior. Dash was exactly the same as well. 1 of the only good Pontiac's or Toyota actually, so that's why it wasn't a GM
I just sold a 2009 toyota yaris sport, one owner and everything original except rotors, pads and plugs that had 357,400 miles and running strong. AC compressor started making an intermittant rattling from its clutch or internal, but still cooling normally all original. It was smoother running and driving than my 2012 yaris hatch with 156k miles. Full synthetic oil was always used and yes many of those miles were highway miles. This is why I have 2 other Toyotas. Consistency.
Here in south Africa, people are either Toyota or vw fanatics. I grew up with the former...first a 1984 corolla ke70, then a 1988 corolla Twincam 4age, then a 20v 4age corolla...then a 2zzge . so safe to say, I'll always have a Toyota in the garage lol.
I have a 07 Corolla with 210k miles. By far the best car I've owned. First thing I noticed was the missing hubcap. It's uncanny how most old Corollas you see are missing a hubcap! I've slung several over the years and did exactly what Scotty said to do years ago . I put cheap replicas on one side! Scotty never ceases to amaze!
Even cars that have all their hubcaps I end up putting a set on to save the stocks for when I go to get something else. Having the original hubcaps on anything is kind of a novelty
I have a pristine 1994 Corolla GTouring wagon, JDM, well kept, with 11,000 kilometers on it. Like new. It was kept garaged, driven once or twice a year in Japan. The car sold at the auction there for a few grand. A few more to ship to Hawaii. It has a 1500 engine, automatic trans.... gets 50mpg ! I couldn't believe it. Not a lot of power but zips along at the speed limit. No trouble registering, but because RHD (right hand drive) I had to insure it at $15000 for replacement value to keep the policy premium down around $50/mo. PS: I hear that not all mechanic shops will service RHD... good thing this is like new 😅
I always recommend people to get their manual license. Even if they only ever buy automatics, they may have a job where they need a manual license or they may need to drive a manual car in an emergency.
93 corolla, I Can't kill the damn thing, thing will be running fine with huge exhaust leak, low fuel, no oil filler cap, crappy tires, no thermostat, timing belt cover gone, 233,000 miles, I mean holy crap
I was considering getting a small old pickup and I notice the manual ones are quite cheap. I don't know how to drive manual but I may be willing to learn since Scotty says manual transmissions are pretty much bulletproof.
hey scotty, your a wealth. you should, in the description, if you have the time, list all the car system parts you address in the video. then we would be able to get specific car help with a search. thanks , your gold
Still drive my 1996 Honda accord 5-speed manual every day, currently at 295,552 on the odometer and it starts up with no problem every time. My s2000 on the other hand is at 170,000 and it’s time for a clutch upgrade because I drive that car the way it’s supposed to driven 😂
By the time most of these Corollas are sold, they have at least 200k or 300k miles on them At that mileage you're possibly looking at new CV' joints, radiator, pulleys, PCM, Cat, motor mounts, wheel bearings, struts, starter, alternator ect.. Depends on sale price to be worth it
Try double clutching a rig, trained on those when I was going for my class A license. The instructor would put his coffee on the dashboard, the new guy who knocked it off would sit the bed bay all day and not drive. The bed wasn't very comfy I confess
