He somewhat disappointed me when he choose Fiat's 4 cylinder engine over Hyundai's Theta II as the worst engine available, Theta II is in my wife's Hyundai and it's a lame engine, but IIRC it was a very close call.
Most makers have improved GDI from the early days of intake valve deposits (bmw) and high soot generation, I've driven turbos since the early 80s and never had a turbo fail - however Saab's implementation was pretty solid compared to some makes - Ford's attempt to turbo charge a carbureted engine like in the Mustang II was what some have labeled as little more than an ill advised experiment.
Some people cling to outdated thought patterns and I think Scotty is quilty of that in many cases.

Scotty is an ok mechanic if you need advice or work done on a car from the 70s. He’s stuck in that era and hasn’t adapted, I can’t stand him. He knows absolutely nothing about modern cars and hates any form of new technology. He always contradicts himself while trashing a chevy or a ford, but will turn around and say toyota is super reliable and great for doing the exact same thing or defend them for cutting corners by being “simple and reliable.” Plus, his titles are all click bait now.

The only Scotty I ever cared for is the one that can beam me up!

I had a '79 Mustang turbo. It was the stone age compared to the ranger.
That parity video is great. I've tried to get through 2 or 3 of his videos an it was hard.

I know a few people who've had major issues with their 2.3L in Mustangs... it's not as rare as I'd like.
Scottie is old. New technology is too hard for him to understand. His simple, naturally aspirated Japanese cars are a thing of the past. He's the kind of mechanic that turned bolts, not computers.

He has a few interesting videos but they (I think he does like 2 or 3 a day!) are all click bait headlines and he has a real fondness for everything Toyota (and sometimes Honda). He doesn't have much good to say about anything else.
I rarely watch his videos anymore.

Hi Folks,
Flapping his arms like a chicken about to be on the chopping block? Persuasive...Not in the least. Credible...maybe on somethings, but his delivery leaves me cold. Jerk of the first order...

It annoys me how much the main guy's son speaks EXACTLY like him. Drives me friggin' bonkers!

Hey catching up on some big bang theory episodes and yesterday saw the one where they are dressed like Star Trek Nex Gen taking photos in the desert and their car gets stolen, hilarious.
