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!
