I have learned to appreciate a good I6 (Inline 6 cylinder) engine. Like the one in my 1985 Toyota Cressida.

[videomaniac]

In 1998 I bought a V-6 Honda Accord sedan for my wife and that engine worked like a charm, never any problems. The fit and finish of the interior with the widespread use of cheap plastic left something to be desired but the car was good overall.

[davidprodigy]

Scotty definitely is not fond of the 4 cylinder turbos that are out into the larger vehicles that should have the V-6

[harryshome]

If it ain't a 94 Celica don't buy it

Scotty, I finally took your advice and I bought a 2011 Toyota Avalon Limited and I am going to sell my endless money pit 2008 Mercedes E-350. I wish that I knew about your channel before I bought the Mercedes. I probably put $9000 into a car that I paid $11, 500 for two years ago. I was hoping to hold onto it until I hit 200, 000 miles on it, but I cant stand the thought of not knowing when my next $2, 500 repair is around the corner. It is time to cut my losses and start fresh with another car. Thanks for everything that you do.

4 cylinder none turbo is my motor it takes me from point A to B without hustle for next to nothing

[davidjames]

i thought this guy was from “weekend at Bernies”

[LegendaryWaterBottle]

Adding to Scotty's suggestion, going with Honda's 2.0L engine is much better than 1.5L turbo for Civics

[ragintaurusmusclemercury]

Nah. V6 for me. Especially on a bigger car. Seen V6 cars with 250, 000+ miles on them with the 4 cylinder versions needing a rebuild at 150, 000 miles. The V6 doesn't have to work as hard to move the car around. If you don't dog them out and maintain them then 9 times of of 10 the 4 banger don't last as long.

4 cylinder. Model T Ford. Offenhauser 270. Ford 2.3 Lima. Greatest engines of all time. The offy can still make over 1000hp. Nearly 100 year old design

[CTBN]

Yes do agree a naturally aspirated engine would always be better/affordable to own long term than a vehicle with a turbo.
Saab and other brands in GM's portfolio that they failed to.. could be a topic Mr. Scotty can discuss in his other channel - autonauts garage.

[sirjhonson]

If it is ticking, smoking or knocking . Dont buy it .Ask to start it cold .Feel on the engine to see if its warm . The only ticking car I will buy is a flat tappet overhead cam one.

[AIDAHAR]

For me a n/a straight 6 mated to a standard

[harrymakongwa]

I got a VVT-i V4 Corolla, no problem just timely service every after 3000km..

[tbrnilq]

In a longitudinal layout like in a 4Runner the V6 is better, though I4s are still ok in this layout. In a transverse layout like in a RAV4 the I4 is better. Transverse V6s and V8s are very difficult to work on and should be avoided.

[bryanpascual]

Toyota 2ZZ, 3S, GR, 2JZ, 2000GT; Honda B16/18, K20/24, BMW N54, B58, M88; GM 3800; Chrysler 4.0l; Nissan RB26; Subaru EJ

[MrJbooker]

I had a tracker that I loved and loved. The thing is off road they over heat easily.

[timjohnson]

I have a 2016 Buick Encore that's great. Built for a turbo from the ground up so it will last.

[theshield]

Honda Accord 2018 -present only has 4 cylinder option no v6
