Honda Car Forum

I have a CRV and I absolutely love it. It has almost a 100,000 miles and runs just like it was new.I used to have a Honda Civic Hatchback and it was a GREAT little car. Sold it when I became a parent (needed a bigger vehicle) with way over 200,000 miles on that. Neither vehicle has ever had to have anything other than maintenance type work done. Neither went through oil, or developed rattles. In between the two Hondas I went through TWO minivans - both developed transmission problems with less than 60,000 miles and both were "eating" oil with less than 40,000 miles - both of those were nothing but junk - but were "American" vehicles (just not assembled in the USA).

I've got an 06 Civic Sedan and I love it. My previous car was a 97 Civic. It was a good car with 167,000 when it got totalled. I'd probably still be driving it if it weren't for that. My wife has a 2000 Accord and it's been a good car as well. 90,000 trouble free miles on it.

Civic Type R EK9 - Excellent power to weight ratio. This is the best Civic of all times. Stock 160BHP. Potential of tuning to 220BHP (normal aspirated) with 900kg of unsprung weight.

They're all crap. I've had to work on a bunch of these supposedly reliable cars, and the parts are expensive. I wouldn't trust any of them any more than my '88 caprice.
