Rev up your engines, tony montana says scotty I'm looking for a
newer car 2016 and up for an old man, looking at camry optima and accords what do you think
would be best overall vehicles are far as value and reliability, on that the Camry those
things are reliable as can be, I mean and with that personally get a 4 cylinder,
the 6's are faster yes but the 4 cylinder ones last long and they have less maintenance,
they get a little bit better gas mileage and they still got plenty of umph,
I mean whenever I go someplace and I rent a car, I try to rent a camry because they're
real comfy so if I'm going some place with my 91 year old mother she loves them because
their luxurious even in the front and back seat doesn't matter where you sit their comfortable
and they get great gas mileage, when I go visit my son in Nashville it's from his house
to the airport 56 miles, I can fill it up where he lives and then when I drive to the
airport in Nashville and drive 60 something miles it still says full on the gauge so I
don't have to look for a gas station and you can't beat that you know,
I've rented other cars and still had to refill them but not with those because they get such
good gas mileage, Armando says what's you opinion on a honda
del sol as a first car, they were a funky car, they were well built especially the ones
with a manual transmissions, I have customers with them and they still work perfectly fine,
that said, your talking about a car that's probably pretty old anywhere from 30-20 something
years old, you want a guy to check it out before you
buy an old car like that but if it's in good shape and you don't pay too much hey they
can last a long time, their solid built cars, their hondas they make great engines and if
you get a manual transmission, now if you get an automatic before you buy it have a
mechanic like me check it out, because if he says oh the transmission is iffy don't
buy it because to rebuild the transmission on that car correctly is going to cost you
anything from 2,000-3,700 dollars, so don't buy it if the transmission is an automatic
and it's starting to have problems, what new vehicle is good to buy they say the
CVT transmissions suck my wife wants a subaru, well if she wants a subaru don't ever buy
a subaru with a CVT automatic transmission, that's one of the worst ones out there,
if you want a subaru get a manual transmission and I'm not a subaru fan but if you get a
manual transmission on a subaru I've had customers get 200-300,000 miles relatively trouble free
if they don't race them too high and blow the head gaskets, the engines are a little
weak but customers I have that drive normal and they just drive 65-75 on the highway and
they don't do burnouts they can last a long time with a manual transmission,
if you have to get a CVT transmission my advice is get a Toyota because they make one of the
better CVT automatic transmissions and that's because all these hybrid cars, they all pretty
much have to have a CVT transmission so Toyota has been making the CVT transmission in the
Prius for 20 years now it's their 20th anniversary so 20 years of making that stuff they make
a pretty good CVT transmission, they got the bugs out of it where a lot of the other people
they just started making them a few years ago and they don't have the bugs out of them
yet, Jimmy says I have a 2004 nissan sentra it's
running fine but I noticed the coolant is rust orange in color, what should I do I recently
changed it but it didn't do much thank you, a nissan shouldn't be orange to begin with,
what I would do is remove the thermostat from the car when it's cold, then flush it, take
all the radiator hoses off, flush the block using a garden hose, flush the radiator, flush
everything all out until it runs clear then what you want to do,
is get the foreign car long life coolant, you can buy any company, prestone, it doesn't
matter, to go autozone whatever place you can find walmart and buy the best price you
can get for the long life one and it will either say 5 years and 100,000 miles or 7
years and 150,000 miles, put that stuff in and then just live with
whatever it does because the color doesn't mean anything it's a dye, but you've got rust
and stuff in there so you want to flush it all out first and the way I said to do it
and then don't worry whatever color it is then you know it's going to be good for 5-7
years depending on which one you bought the 5 year or the 7 year,
full gory one says what do you think about the current alfa romeo should I consider it
or stay away from it, well it depends on what you financial state is, if your a rich man
and you don't care and you own a bunch of cars and you want a toy, fun toy their fast
cars especially if you get the v6 turbocharged engines, but if you care about your money
and your going to do it as a daily driver, check into a insane asylum, because the alfa
romeos are just as fall aparte as they ever were,
look at fiat, I don't know fiat owns them or not I think they own part of them or something
but whatever, the fiat 500 fancy one is called the fiat
abarth, that's got an alfa romeo engine and their
pieces of junk, they just fall apart, they don't hold up over time and you pay too much
money, fiat is even considering pulling out of the US with the fiat brand because their
so low in sales and they were ok in the beginning but then people saw what pieces of junk they
were and they stopped buying them, anabolism says I got a mark 1 ford focus,
the clutch isn't slipping but it engages at the very top is that bad,
it just means that your clutch is starting to wear out, as long as it's not slipping
it's still there and working fine, it just means that it's wearing out, that has a self
adjusting clutch, the hydraulic fluid takes up slack as it wears so as long as it works
ok just live with it, it's just a sign that it's worn and eventually when it slips then
it's time to put a new clutch in, so if you never want to miss another one of
my new car repair videos, remember to ring that bell!
