I have never had any work done but preventive maintenance. Oil, tires, timing belt. Have driven over 300,000 miles. Third of 3 Hondas owned. Across the USA twice, zipping through big city traffic. This was the pinnacle of Japanese car design. If it had a back seat, like the Japanese model, it would be the perfect vehicle. Honda was very innovative back in the '80's(this model came out … in 1988). With tweaking (new chip) can get 50mpg. I typically get around 42 on the hwy. Only 38 city.
