[QUOTE="sundownz, post: 2976707, member: 549523"] I'm a big fan of Honda myself... but I'm not exclusive to them. I've had: 1) 1989 Pontiac Firebird V6 2) 1990 Honda CRX Si 3) 1995 Pontiac Firebird V6 (still running @ 165k miles w/ my cousin) 4) 1999 BMW 323i 5) 2002 BMW 325i 6) 2007 Dodge Caliber (own now) 7) 1994 Honda Civic DX (own now) I'm selling the Caliber and buying a 1999 Honda Civic Si -- so I will have two Honda vehicles. I'm trying to take down my monthly payments to invest in a house... which is the only real reason to drop the Caliber (my parents are buying it from me). If you are wondering about the BMWs... I wrecked (totalled) the 99' and traded in the 02' due to power steering problems w/ 100k (just for parts to do it myself it would have been $1000). The PS problems traced back to a shop putting the wrong fluid in during a flush... but it took 6 months to break stuff, so I couldn't prove anything. Other than that the only thing I replaced on the 02' was all four window regulators... engine and ****** were like new. That will teach me to take a car anywhere for even a simple service... I almost always do my own work but I was too busy that time. I will at least double and triple check their work from now on if I HAVE to take one in. My Dad had a 1991 GMC Sierra with zero problems at 110k miles (low miles, yes). My Mom is now selling her 1998 Pontiac mini-van with 125k miles with no major problems in it's history. I believe that, for the most part, most vehicles will last a long time with proper maintainace except some lemon cars out there. Some really BAD design choices come to mind too... GM places the ignition setup under the water pump in some year *****-Ams for one thing. I'm still a Honda fan, though [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Good cars all-in-all... I think they look alot nicer than any domestic "econo" car if you are shopping used. A Cavalier or Sunfire simply looks bad next to a Civic if you ask me. The Focus is one of the few exceptions...
