I wonder if the condition of the roads makes any difference? I don't know whether Bill's locality has rough roads or not: but, for me, since 99.99(recurring)% of my driving is on city or highway surfaces, I'm not surprised that my Honda Integra is now 10 years old and has cost me very little apart from regular servicing. One air-conditioning module in the non-consumable range so far, and it's about to have the power steering seals and the rear suspension bushes replaced, both due to the age of the vehicle. No sign of any deterioration or breakages to the drive train at all.
In Australia, Honda's have a very good reputation for quality and reliability, which keeps their re-sale value well up!
