rev up your engines, Camden, Scotty thoughts on newer Subarus
and CVT reliability if you heard their cars not of the 90s I'm looking to buy a
Forester okay, Subarus one main big flaw was their automatic transmissions were
garbage over time and they cost a fortune to rebuild, their CV
transmissions are no different, they still have problems and they cost a
fortune to rebuild, you want something that you're gonna drive forever do not
buy one, if you want a Subaru and you want it to last a really long time
get a standard transmission and they are well-built, there are actually
standard transmissions, but do not buy an automatic transmission Subaru and think
it's gonna last forever, if you have to buy an automatic transmission go Toyota
they make the best ones, there's no if ands or buts about it, but if you like
Subarus and you can drive a standard, go ahead and get one at standard but never
by any of the Subarus with automatics or CVT s, because they have lots of problems
I rented a Subaru with a CVT and it had like 8,000 miles and the transmission was
already shifting crappy, so there's no way that I'd ever buy one of those
things, I'll run them because if it breaks it's not my problem it's the rental cars
company, and I always do rent different cars when I go on a business trip or
vacation because I like trying out all the different cars to tell people what I think
about them, Kevin rank says, my parents bought
me a 2006 Nissan Altima in October with over with over 150 thousand miles they bought
it for $2,800 did they pay too much, yes they did that's a 13 year old Nissan
Altima with 150,000 miles on it, now $2,800 doesn't buy what it used to buy, but I
wouldn't have paid that much for it for sure because Nissan's are notorious for
having problems, now let's say it doesn't burn much oil and the transmission
shifts good, if it does, then at least it's still a decent car but those
engines are notorious for burning oil and blowing head gaskets for having bad
automatic transmissions, so baby that car now I know you can drive them fast but
don't take off Jackrabbits and don't do burnouts on that thing, because then
you're pushing your luck, it's like playing with fire, they have weak engines
and weak automatic transmissions, so baby it
change the oil every four or 5,000 miles and you never know, you know
$2,800 these days for car isn't that much money, but they did pay a little bit
too much for it with that mileage knowing those, if it had been a Toyota no
but for the Nissan yes that's a bit too much, Shatty says is high
mileage full synthetic beneficial or is continuing full synthetic fine if you
have no leaks or burning off, oh yeah you can just stick with full synthetic
if you've been using that, the high mileage stuff you know, they claim oh it's
gonna do this, it's gonna do that, there's no miracle additives, if an engine is worn
an engine is worn, and if you're not burning or leaking oil and you're
using full synthetic just stick to what you're using, the reason people go to
these, Oh for an older engine and it helps them out high mileage is because
maybe they got bad seals and it's leaking oil, it can maybe rejuvenate them
a little, and it might have additives that can try to lubricate the engine a
little bit better, but if you're not leaking or burning oil
my advice is stick with the oil that you've been using and it's working why
change something it works, Greg D says, I got a 2013 Honda with a
CVT transmission it went out at 125,000 miles, we want to replace it what do you
think is the most reliable car out there, you had a Honda you didn't say what kind of
Honda you had, let's say you had a Civic well then go get a Toyota Corolla
they're much more reliable or are you saying you've had an accord get a Camry
the Toyota Camrys costs more but they're very reliable cars and they're much more
luxurious, depends on what kind of money you want to spend you know, I mean
sometimes people ask me, should I buy this car or that car, sometimes they're
completely different cars, I say it depends what you want, do you want a
luxury ride a lot of acceleration or do you want a car that's gonna last forever
and get better gas mileage, you got to decide what kind of car you want and
then go from there, but regardless of what type of car you want look for it in
a Toyota, because their still the most dependable cars out there, and I'm not
being paid by Toyota, I wish I was you know, they probably got a lot of money
because they make really good cars but, fool proof
eske says, Scotty I bought a 1993 Honda Accord with a manual
transmission when I'm shifting gears it takes a while for the RPMs to drop and
the lag in RPMs can be noticed, car has two hundred sixty eight thousand
miles on it, okay if you shift and that takes too long for the RPMs to drop
odds are you need a new clutch and it's just slipping, any mechanic let them road
test it they'll tell you if the clutch is slipping, the clutch could just be
slipping and wearing out, it winches inside the disc and as it's worn, the pressure
isn't enough that the disc gets too thin and it'll start to slip and then the RPMs
won't go down, so odds are you just need a new clutch in it, it's you know two
hundred sixty eight thousand miles, the thing is just flat worn out, so if you
never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring
that Bell!
