Agreed. I’ve known a number of people with various models of Hondas from the early 2000s on that have had serious issues. CRVs have exploding AC systems, for example. I’ve had a 2001 Nissan Altima from new, a 2006 Mazda 6 from new, and A couple of Ford Focii used and all of them were solid

People talk about how well made and reliable Hondas are, but I'm not convinced. Especially the automatic transmissions don't seem to be really long-lived. I won't buy another Honda with an autobox. Have had two that both had problems. I might consider an Accord or Civic with a 5-speed. Some

Worked on the oldest boy’s E320 CDI today. He said the left front brake has been making noise, but it works and the pads aren’t worn down. Hmm. Put the car on the DAS and ran a full set of diagnostics. A few bangs, some we expected, like EGR which is disabled, but a couple for the SBC. Ran the
