I appreciate Fiat and Volvo and whoever else has tried to hold onto the timing belt. Swapping a timing belt is typically a few hour job while a timing chain job can be a 10 hour job and many more costly components involved. Many timing chain cars have issues even in very low mileage and it's just obnoxious.

Yea they don't want to talk about the IS300 and how you have to remove the dashboard to change the evaporator because it leaks (multiple Toyotas have these problems). They don't want to talk about the 08-11 Camry with the engines that had locking up piston rings and burned oil like crazy (Toyota eventually did a recall but not everyone was able to claim it). They don't want to talk about the cracked dashboards on the 09-2014 Avalons either. What about the engines in the CT250h which often failed due to some intake problem? Or maybe the previous Gen corolla where the whole cars fall Apart and the intake sensors routinely go bad and it's placed in a stupid location... What about the RC-F with the 5L V8 that had coolant problems with the intake valley, leaking fuel pumps, leaking oil scavenger pump, leaking fuel rail, leaking oil coolers... Oh and the engines are crazy complex so nobody wants to work on them... Toyota fans just parrot a narrative and ignore all issues with the brand. Now their modern turbo engines are failing left and right...

I had a 2011 camry with a manual, it went 243.000 miles until a deer killed it. Two clutches, and that was it. No troubles at all. So I bought a 2014 and a 2016. Best car ever made.

I have a 1995 Ford escort lx with 1.9 4 cylinder, automatic transmission. I have 135,000 miles, and it has been trouble-free except for a steering connector rod. Other than that, struts, rear springs, and routine maintenance. A plane car, not a lot of power and 18 miles per gallon, but is and has been a very reliable car and I only paid 1,000 bucks for the car in the year 2001. There is no doubt the new cars stink in quality and are to complex. I will take dependable over fancy and sosfiscated any day.

Love your videos. Had a Ford Expedition Limited 2012 with an eco boost. bought used 40k miles because my 04 tahoe was getting around 200K and wife wanted another car. Loved the performance and room of that ford UNTIL 60K miles then nickel and dime to death(more like hundred and couple hundred) replaced all wheel bearings all 4 over a year(consumable part so ok), heater resistor for fan every 3 months then wiring harness, paint started to bubble and flake at 45K(aluminum body I was like wtf), sounded like a 50 cal upon start up ratcheting and clacking dealer said it had 40 engine codes and I needed new sequencers??? Then stated they couldn't guarantee the engine wouldn't blow up.(another wtf moment at 80K on a truck driven 20 miles a day and babied oil changed full syn every 5k). By the time the clock got to 90K it was on a toyota dealership and wife was in a 2021 Highlander XSE AWD. Tahoe still driven every week because science and runs like a champ. No more fords or gmc this from a chevy guy. just sad. Next truck is the tundra but only the 8 cylinder the hell with the turbo headaches. the iforce 5.7 is a beast why change what works...Keep up the great work scotty

Look harder, there’s plenty out there with 400 plus miles and still running. It’s all about maintenance. Yes a Corolla will last with barely any effort, but drives boring and zero excitement, feel to driving. That’s why they had to turn to BMW and Subaru to put out sports cars now, because they only make generic grocery getter cars. Not a bad thing, but only gets you a bland corner of the market. Any auto enthusiast isn’t excited or interested in Toyota since the 90s
