I've owned NOTHING but Honda's and Acura's for 28 yrs...in the past it's been one bad clutch (86 Integra...first yr out) and one bad ac (2002 RSX-S first yr out) other than routine maint. nothing else has gone wrong...(owned all std shift...2 Accords, Integra, CRX, RSX-S and a (2004) TSX) all were sold high miles to others...one Accord we still see around town (sold in 2003 w/195,000 mi, original EVERYTHING still on it..)All cars bought all over US (AF).
