Because I'd lived in Japan for a couple years more than 50 years ago and drive a couple Toyotas each with high miles on them I was especially receptive when another Toyota driver at the gas pump said, "You know why Japanese Toyotas are better throughout? Because everyone involved believes it would be dishonorable to do less than a perfect job."

@markkoons7488 3 жыл бұрын

That was my experience of the Japanese in relation to their work in the 1960s. In fact, Japan had, and I assume still has, a set of laws addressing professional responsibility. Essentially, if you are paid to do a job you are a professional and are personally liable for your work. I look around at the half-assed work we sometimes pay for here and think somebody ought to go to be jailed and forfeit their personal assets to compensate their victims.

I don’t mean to turn anyone off but I work for toyota and I see these at the service center all the time for transmission issues, typically the mileage is anywhere from 55k to 80k. I was hoping Toyotas version of the CVT would be it, but sadly it’s not. We currently have 4 CHRs in the service with transmission issues, but the good news is that the they hold their trade in value very well.

I'm so excited you reviewed the C-HR. I just bought one in October and I love it! And I bought a Toyota because I've been watching your videos Scotty. I had a 2018 Ford EcoSport and I liked it okay, but it was already coming apart in a couple of areas in the dashboard and it road like a bucket of bolts. I had driven a 2006 Ford Fusion for 12 years before that and loved it, so went back to Ford for that reason. I was just excited to get the new technology in a car and bought the EcoSport on the spot! But as the story goes, regretted it a bit as time went on. I was thinking of trading or selling and was watching car videos when I came across you. So glad I did! I was able to sell my EcoSport for more than I owed and turned around and bought the C-HR. I had never seen one before and fell in love. My husband went over it with a fine toothed comb and said "buy it." So I did! Loving it!! Thanks Scotty! Now I'm hooked on your videos and believe I will be a Toyota customer from now on. Oh, and by the way, welcome to Tennessee! We live in Columbia, just south of Nashville, so not too far from you!

But the quality of the C-HR is so much better for the same price. Also, I averaged 19 MPG around town in the EcoSport and with the C-HR, even not broken in yet, I am getting 25 to 26 in town. So the difference all around in quality of the build and mpg is pretty drastic to me, for vehicles in the same category and price range.

The Telluride has won the best large suv a few years running. The kia stinger has won several awards for safety and best sedan in it's class. The optimawhich is now the k5 has won sedan of the year several times. Kia makes amazing vehicles. I am not a fanboy of any brand. My wife and I have matching 2020 kia stinger gt1, we have a 2006 dodge grand caravan, 2012 ford expedition, a 2019 tahoe and a 2006 dodge magnum rt. Our house looks like a car lot lol. I have not had a single issue with non of my vehicles. The key to it, is take care of your vehicles. Oil changes on time and just simple maintenance will go a long way.

Everytime Scotty talks about Kias I wonder if I have just been really Lucky. My Forte from 2010 has nearly 180,000 miles on it and it's still doing well. I change oil religiously and drive it conservatively but this thing is doing great. It gets great gas mileage and has been a reliable car since I got it with only 14000 miles on it 8 years ago. I drive a lot because of what I do but it's a comfortable car that gets me from point A to point B.

My 2021 C-HR came off the same assembly line one month after the car featured in this video. It has the same K114 CVT transmission as listed on the door sticker. The so called launch gear is definitely present in the Aisin K120 CVT, but I find no proof anywhere that the launch gear is present in the K114. Wikipedia notes that C-HR with K120 do exist in some world markets. The Corolla Hatchback does have the launch gear.

True. I have only 27k miles on my 2018 CHR XLE (Turkey - made with K114 CVT) - at 30k miles this will get a transmission fluid change (not flush) and filter change. My 2018 RAV4 XLE (former rental/used) is my daily driver (84k miles).

I’ve had my 2019 C HR for two years, it is everything I expected, and the gas mileage mostly commuting is 32 mpg, and on a long trip more than 35. However, mine was made in Turkey, not Japan. Was a little nervous about that, but fit and finish is great and it’s been defect free. Also the adaptive cruise control, lane departure and collision avoidance systems are not intrusive but work flawlessly. If you are looking for a practical well made economical car give it a look. Toyota is coming out with the Corolla cross over so they may not continue this model much longer…

7:56 "Play rival insurance companies against each other." Absolutely! I have a clean record with no claims for decades (except when I accidentally hit a deer running across a freeway at 11:00 PM, but I told my insurance in that incident that I cannot be held liable for the criminal acts of a third party-- that maniac deer was suicidal!), so whenever my insurance company raises my rates, I get quotes from other insurance companies and tell my swine carrier to beat their competitor's rates or I'm dropping their coverage. Works great! Remember, loyalty to a brand or corporation is an irrational sucker's game.

Gotta disagree with Scotty about the C-HR being 'zippy'; I like how they look so I test drove one but was shocked how slow they were, even compared to my ancient Corolla! I would go as far as say they're dangerously slow if you're getting on the highway using a short on-ramp! Most tests I saw bear this out and indicate a 0-60 time in the 11 second range, which is painfully slow. Hope Toyota gives it the hybrid powertrain that the Lexus version of the same platform (i.e. the Lexus UX) has, which would also give it AWD and make it, by far, the pick of the sub-compact SUV category imo.

Hyundai/kias CVT are still better when it comes to not feeling like a CVT!!! No launch gear but they have the first CVT in a compact car with a chain driven CVT not a steel belt!

They aren’t oil burners. The theta 2 Gdi DOES have some oil consumption issues I’ll give you that but it’s a flawed engine from the start and that’s why they eventually give everyone free lifetime replacements after the “product improvement” has been conducted.

You should look into it more you clearly don’t understand it. Most all dealers immediately get them approved fast in many cases the owner didn’t take care of it and oil sludge is present and yet they still get approved. Yes there are instances where they denied them but typically they don’t get denied and if so go to other dealers. Hyundai dealers and service isn’t known to be the best so you have to be firm if they even think about not trying to get it approved. Scotty somewhat praises Hyundai/Kia and then sometimes bashes them saying they don’t last it’s inconsistent.
