New Camry vs Depreciated Jaguar

This is a brand new Toyota Camry SE and it costs about $30,000. And this is a 2017 Jaguar F-Type and you can buy it used for around the same price. Today, we're gonna put both of these through the daily driver ringer and see if it's actually worth it to buy a used sports car over one of the most dependable new cars on today's market. Welcome to Donut. So this is the brand new Toyota Camry SE. It's got a 232 horsepower four cylinder, 2.5 liter hybrid engine and it gets a whopping 47 miles a gallon. It's also got that new car smell. Boring. I mean, sure, if you want to drive around in that piece of wheat bread, go ahead. But for basically the same money, I say you ride in style. Meow. All right, how about a little wager? We take each car and run them through the same day in the life challenge. And then after that, Justin can make up his own mind. You're on Bible boy. What's the wager? Justin's soul. Dude, what is your deal with souls? Is that okay with you, Justin? I thought this was about like what car to buy. Well, by God, this thing's pretty nice. I mean, in a safe way. What's wrong with being safe? I guess nothing. So this is the front wheel drive model with 225 horsepower. 225 is pretty good for a 90s sports car. That was a performance oriented car. And now you get it with almost 50 miles to the gallon. Yeah, that's pretty good. Yeah, especially living in California. 400 miles of range. Are you kidding me? You know why I killed the dinosaurs? So we could have gasoline. Oh, you're pre-planning us. Oh, in my job, you really got to think long-term. Sometimes you have to trust in the Camry. See if it keeps it in the lane. Oh, it's turning. That's pretty cool. Hey, you see? Nothing I own has that. You might say Jesus took the wheel. You've got a seven inch digital dash. The digital dash is pretty nice. And look at this big screen here. The steering wheel feels okay. It's not like great leather, but the dashboard is spongy. Sounds like you're starting to come around. My mom would be proud of this. Think about how reliable it's going to be. This would be very reliable, but it also is the first generation of a new gen of the Camry. Oh, come on, pish posh. You know, also this has back seats so I can carry my dog. And it's got a nice sound system. Oh, listen to that. I can't imagine why you would be thinking about anything other than this Toyota Camry. It's brand new. It's got no miles. It's comfortable. It's affordable. It's efficient. What more do you want? This is a brand new car for only 30,000 bucks. Now this is a car. This is a car. Oh yeah. Listen to this baby breathe. It's fast. It gets a pickup. And it hits 70 pretty fast. Yeah, well it makes 340 horsepower. 340? That's right, 332 pound feet of torque. The 2017 Jaguar F-Type. Yeah, it's a V6 model. Yeah, you know what? Six is my favorite number. That's why I like this thing. The thing gets up and go. It really does, especially compared to that Camry. Yeah, that Camry was a little wheezy. And this thing's rear wheel drive, just like you want. Fun. It's got CarPlay-ish. It's got Bluetooth. Bluetooth connectivity. Yeah, it's got an eight-speed automatic transmission. That's pretty good. It's also convertible. So if you roll over, death is certain. Perfect. Sometimes working on a car can be really hard, especially when you can't find the exact tools that you're looking for. Kind of like how it can be hard to maintain a healthy mindset without the right tools. That's where today's sponsor, BetterHelp, comes in.

It only has 75,000 miles on it, but it looks like it has 175. Well, listen, this thing was like 70,000 bucks when it was new. So if you're trying to pay the same money as a Camry, you might have to get a little bit of a beat up on it. And settle for the base model. Yeah, sure, it's the base model, but it still has over 100 more horsepower than the Camry. It does have 100 more horsepower than the Camry. And usable horsepower as well. It doesn't have to rely on the hybrid system to go faster. It's just good old petrol power. And you were just telling me, this thing has an 18 gallon fuel tank? 18 and a half! Woo! Claims a highway range of 518 miles, I think. Compared to the 400. Yeah, you might have thought the Camry had good range. Technically, this has better range. This thing claims 28 miles to the gallon on the highway. And it'll get you there faster. I'm going to consider your advice, but I also am going to get the advice of a professional mechanic who may or may not side with you. So hypothetically say I did just buy this, what am I looking at maintenance cost-wise? Well, I mean, if it's brand new like this, you don't have to go to the mom and pop shop. You get it from the warranty from the dealer. You don't got to get nothing out of your pocket. That's pretty like the upside of it. You don't have to worry about nothing for at least two to three years. And these go like 10,000 miles on an oil change, right? Oh yeah, these are amazing. Now you guys are starting to get it. Can you turn it on? I want to hear it. So it's on. Vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom. That's kind of a downfall right there. That's a killer. So now the engine's on. Wow. My foot's to the floor. Oh wow. It sounds like a straight up Prius. Let's say I've owned it past my warranty. What am I looking at maintenance cost-wise possibly? It's not that expensive. Maybe like say oil change, filter, cabin filter and all that bull. Probably like a hundred bucks. Yeah, that's pretty normal. What about the hybrid system? Is that something I need to worry about or does everyone know how to work on these now? We're getting better at it. It's really not that crazy. I mean, Toyota improved obviously with their batteries and all that. And I'm pretty sure this one with the Cadillac converter, you're not going to have the same problem as the Priuses that are getting jacked left and right. You probably will start seeing like damages on your pocket maybe like six years from now. Depends on how you take care of it too. Hello. Okay. What do you think about this one? Okay. Pretty nice ride, huh? I can tell you like it. Yeah, I like it. Now let's hear the exhaust on this one versus the Camry. The Camry wouldn't even rip. I didn't even know if it turned on. There you go. Give me some red. No lie, no lie. That sounds way better than that Camry. And this is stock, right? This is stock. Wow. So obviously status and everything, this car definitely is winning. It's the best. Mechanically though, what am I looking at longevity wise? You don't see these with high miles because it's like a cruiser. You know, like only the weekend. This is a Sunday cruiser. That's what this is for. It's also a bit under the radar. No one's really looking for Jaguars. Nobody because everybody's scared of the maintenance. And believe it or not, these bad boys are not that bad. Yeah, you hear that? I mean, I've worked on a lot of them and they never come back. So it's just a natural luxury car price hike. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Does it have like the upgraded brakes on this one or no? No, this is pretty standard. So a little bit cheaper. You're probably be in the five, 600 bucks. For a brake job? Yep. Oil change, pretty normal, right? Yeah, it's about like on this one, maybe like 200 bucks. It's not too bad. $200, that's not horrible. Obviously I'm going to spend a little bit more on maintenance if I buy this car, but honestly the fun versus costs level here is looking pretty good. So we need to put it to the test and see how it does with my daily chores. In order for something to be a good daily driver, it needs to be able to do my chores. And first on that list, grocery shopping. We're going to get some wine and wafers. That's the recommended diet. That's all you're allowed to eat when you're with me. Wow, Justin, look at all this trunk space. How nice is that? We've got a bunch of camera gear and room for groceries and room to continue running errands. Here's the car. Look at all that room. Look at all this space in here. Wow. We got plenty of room in here. We even got more stuff than we did with the camera. Grocery shopping done. What's next on the list? We've got to go to the parts store to get parts for my project car. Perfect, I love the parts store. Time for some car parts. What are we going to get here? I need an O2 sensor, some fluids, some filters, a couple of things. What do you need that stuff for? This thing's brand new. I haven't bought this yet. I've got old cars laying around I need to fix. Okay, well let's go shopping. So we just got back from our parts haul. You know, not too much stuff. Get a little bit. You got plenty of room in the trunk for all that. Absolutely, I do. And we still haven't even gotten to the back seat yet, so. Run away. I'm stealing. Hurry up, we got to go. We paid for everything, don't worry. Then why did it beep? Shut up. Another chore I have to do pretty regularly is take my dog out. He's got to do his pees and poops. I am a little worried, however, that he's not going to fit inside the Jaguar. I know he could fit inside the Camry. There's probably enough trunk space. What am I doing? Here, hold this. Whoa, watch out, God bless. Hi, hello. Thanks for holding him. Take care of my baby. At least he just pooped, aw. Yeah. As much as I don't want to give it to it, I think I'm going to have to give the Camry a point on the errands. Ah, the dog on my lap is fine, I was just kidding. Okay, Justin, obviously this Camry is a good commuter. It's efficient, it's practical. You can run errands in it. But you keep whining about it being too boring. So let's take it on some curvy roads and see if this thing is actually capable of being a fun car to drive. Yeah, baby! Ooh, Dodger Stadium. You know, me and my dad are big Dodgers fans. Are you? Yeah. Not Angels fans? Ah, shit, we are Angels fans. It picks up and, you know, it doesn't handle terribly. It does handle really good, as do most modern cars. It's really surprising. It's got multi-link suspension. Yeah. With sway bars. I don't want to die today. Just resurrect, right? Oh, yeah, drive this thing off the side. A little cooler, huh? Let's crash test this thing, then. I'm sure it has a five-star safety rating. And isn't that what really matters? Oh, Jesus! Feel this thing hug the road. It'll definitely get you onto the highway. It's just like when you drive a Civic, right? You know it's not fast, but it feels good. This doesn't have that feeling. Well, but you're not having any emotions? Not towards the car, not while I'm driving it. I'm not feeling excited. Wow, this thing really grips and rips, huh? It does, man, and it feels really good. Wind in our hair. Yeah. Yeah, I'm a little bit chilly, but that's okay. The cool factor? Well, it just always happens when I'm above ground, you know? Oh, we can push these people off that ledge. You'd love that, wouldn't you? This thing handles really good. It's got tons of usable power. It's almost instant. Yeah, this thing's a frigging sports car. It makes power all over the place thanks to that supercharger. Oh, it's nimble. Oh, it's agile. What a machine. I'm not really much of a convertible guy, but when you have it, it is really nice. Pretty nice, isn't it? And it's nice to show off. You know, you really want to be very prideful. So it's nice to show off who owns this sick Jag. This is a fun car. Yeah. Even for a base model. That's what I like to hear. And you know what F-type stands for, right? F***. Not fun. Oh. All right, so after a nice long day of visiting the mechanic, picking up parts, getting groceries, all the chores, even some fun driving. Yeah, we've been driving around all day. Time to fill the gas tank up. Yeah, let's see how much gas this thing's guzzled. One gallon or two gallons? I'm thinking one. Oh, I was going to say 1.5. It didn't even make it to that. We're at $6, 1.3 gallons. That's basically free. Oh, we still didn't make it to five. Yeah, that's pretty good. What an efficient and economical car. It is a smart decision. It's a very smart decision. But we're not in the business of smart decisions. I am. This is the one. I can tell. This one has to use premium. So it's losing already. Especially in California. Because it's a premium car. We hit two gallons. It was more expensive, especially because it's premium. But we also use a lot more fuel. Half a gallon's worth, to be exact. So definitely point for the Camry. But I had a lot more fun burning gas in this thing. So which one of these $30,000 cars would I buy? The reliable, safe, economical Camry with a warranty, brand new? Or the pretty fast, pretty fun, convertible, loud Jaguar? I'm going to pick the Jaguar. Now here's why. You can fit groceries in here. And I fit about $100 worth of groceries in there, which is about all anyone in LA can afford. So that's fine, right? The only problem is, is I can't fit the dog in. And the reason is, because this is with me. So how about Edgar? Come here, buddy. You can go ride with your brother, Jesus. Okay, well, I got bad news for you, buddy. You still owe me that soul. Come catch me. Thank you guys so much for watching. If you enjoyed this video, make sure you check out our other videos just like it. And let us know down in the comments which car you would pick.
