And authenticity yourself!!! Reminds me of my dad who I miss dearly! Good advice to all the ladies, date a mechanic 😂❤❤

I bought my Earth Dreams 1.5 liter CRV in 2017. Yes, I smell the gasoline in the oil, and while it concerned me when the car was new, I no longer have concerns as at 90, 000 miles I use no oil between changes and continually get over 37 mpg. I use only Honda oil filters and full synthetic Castrol 0w-20. I did install a oil catch can in the vacuum line between the PCV valve and the intake manifold, but I don't catch any oil, mostly just a small amount of gas in the winter. During summer, it gets hot enough apparently to boil off the small amount of gas in the catch can. I have had no problems whatsoever with the vehicle in the past 7 years and have no interest in getting rid of it.

Scotty I caught a guy staring j @ my car.( 2018 Civic SI) He had 1 also.His was the same car from college.( 22 years old) He said he has made hardly no repairs.Oil changes n normal maintenance. He said he ordered a brand new Civic SI! We parted ways n what a great feeling to know they are still driving after 22 years!( TRUE STORY)😊❤❤❤

Honda should go back to what made them great, small naturally aspirated engines with manual transmission

[tommysena]

i have honda with earth technology don't have problem at all with 140k on it

Well we just took a chance on a new Rogue. I’m pleasantly surprised at the power from this 3 cylinder engine and we got 36mpg between highway and city on the first tank!
We got rid of our 18 Sierra because I know from you that issues are a 100% going to happen.
And after watching your video on driving the Rogue, the dealer offered a lifetime power train warranty!
I still have my 04 Grand Marquis, 78 Thunderbird and 76 Mark IV to drive

Time to start recommending Mazdas with real automatic transmissions and 2.5 non-turbo 4-cyl engines.

😺 I popped in a SMART VCM device from Quebec, and now run full time on six cylinders. It is zippy, and I love it!

Tip: The middle row seats are removable, so take them out unless you need to carry six or seven passengers! Less weight means better mileage!

I never really liked CV transmissions in mini-bikes and go-karts, I definitely don't want one in my car.

[gazzafloss]

My old Toyota Forunner V6 3litre had a timing belt and non-interference engine, ran like a clock, changed the first timing belt at around 200k still running that belt at 400k, timing belts are ok. Everyone raves about timing chains being better but theres a lot of Chinesium chains that dont last and break, then youve got big trouble.

[jamespastore]

There's always TOO MUCH slippage in a CVT transmission. Don't buy a car with one, or any car with a twin turbo engine. I guess now, avoid the Earth Dream engine in Hondas. Never buy a car with an engine cylinder deactivation system, or one with the stop engine feature that activates when you come to a stop. All bad features.

[donovanlong]

I almost bought a Honda Accord, but when I drove it the transmission was clunky, I know everyone knocks Nissans, but I bought a Nissan Altima, let it go after 210k, NO problems, except the rear defroster stopped working 😅

I had a 16 CRV Earth Dreams that had 180, 000 miles before I traded it on a new one. Never lost any oil.

[ktp]

I have a 2015 CRV with 266, 000 miles on it and it’s still running great. Just changed both catalytic converters and it runs like new.

I bring my wife along when I am using the air conditioner. Her yaking drowns out the compressor noise.

[therealgeorgegervinjr.]

Have a 2018 accord 1.5t with 100k miles and have had no issues with the car what so ever.

[jessewynne]

Earth dreams w/o turbo doesn’t have this oil delusion issue the ones that are turbo definitely do have this problem!! Machanic even try to tell owners that they have blown head gaskets and charge them an arm and a leg for a job that cost about half as much!!!
Even Honda dealers will tell customers that it’s a head gasket problem and that it’s not covered under warranty because gaskets are not covered under the warranty and fine print !!!! But the truth is, it’s the piston rings and it’s an engine design issue which should be covered under the warranty and the manufacturer for the design flaw!!!

[boneman]

You’re right Scotty, here in New Zealand we drive on the opposite side of the road from you, I’ve had to replace struts on the rough side, our left, I like your show, watch it all the time, cheers.

I have a 2020 Honda Civic with the CVT trans and it has 1st and 2nd gear. These "launch" gears make a significant difference when taking off from stops and on steep hills. When I first got the car, I almost got slammed into because I didn't yet understand how the CVT truly affects driving. Couple years later and we're still rolling.
