This $26,500 Car Gets 60.2 MPG and Will Last Forever

Scotty Kilmer can recommend a new Toyota and still give you reasons to keep the old one. Across seven uploads, his week returned repeatedly to that practical distinction: economical transportation doesn't always mean another trip to the dealership.

The standout was "This $26,500 Car Gets 60.2 MPG and Will Last Forever," now approaching a million views. The title's lifetime promise is Kilmer's enthusiastic verdict, but the review has plenty of tangible details: a viewer's Corolla Hybrid, a dashboard displaying the reported fuel economy, straightforward climate controls and an actual ignition key. Kilmer takes it around neighborhood roads before comparing it with his own Camry.

The comments turn into something of an owners' mileage log. Viewers recount long-serving Corollas and Prius commutes, while others make a more immediate observation: Kilmer's animated arm movements look like a workout of their own.

His newer used-SUV review brings the argument back to maintenance. A 2017 RAV4 gets a diagnostic scan and road test, with tire-pressure warnings and original struts on the agenda. It's the channel's second-busiest video right now, behind the Corolla review. Elsewhere, Kilmer criticizes Toyota pricing and recalls, so this wasn't simply a week of brand loyalty.

The subscriber count stayed unchanged, while the catalog added roughly 3.3 million views. Daily viewing is running above its usual pace. Among nearby motoring channels, Cleetus McFarland is also enjoying elevated daily viewing; Donut is quieter than usual. For Kilmer, the strongest draw remains a modest sedan with knobs, a key and an economy-minded argument.
