Uncomfortable seating creates leg fatigue after 15 minutes even with adjustments, cheap fabrics have worn quickly, heater and a/c very slow, gas mileage is horrible (15/25), ride is akin to a buckboard, 'loose' steering at highway speeds, an annouying rattle in the dash, low beams ineffective, plastic bumper cover paint no longer matches body color, etc. Dealer less than helpful. Honda provides no email address. HATE to be in it!

At 110K and going strong. The car is reliable. I have replaced brakes - front (1) and rear (2), and tires. I have come to expect reliability in vehicles and have not been disappointed in any I have owned. This is no exception.

OUR CAR IS A LEMON FROM DAY ONE. THE A/C MISSING DUCT WORK AND CAUSED WATER TO DRAIN INSIDE THE CD CHANGER THAT HAD TO BE REPLACED, AND NOW A BAD MOLDLIKE SMELL THAT CANNOT BE REMOVED. THE CAR FAILS TO START ON OCCASION. THE FUEL PUMP COMES ON ABOUT EVERY FIVE MINUTES WITHOUT THE KEY IN THE IGNITION BUT THE DEALER SAYS THAT IS NORMAL. THIS WILL BE THE LAST HONDA I WILL EVER OWN. BUYER BEWARE!!! THIS CAR WAS MEANT FOR THE CRASH DUMMIES.

It is a wonder to me that Hondas of this vintage are still a common site on the roads. Still runs great. Nothing has changed. Still runs great.....

Despite the total lack of modern features, seemed like an awesome car initially. All I had to do was get a cooling problem fixed and later put a new thermostat in. But then, 40 months after purchase, I'm in stop and go traffic on interstate, there's a line of cars 10 feet ahead so I try hard to brake... and nothing happens and I crash at ~153000 miles. First time brakes ever suddenly failed to function in a critical moment on any car I've ever driven. I won't forgive Honda for this any time soon. Lots of others have had great luck with Honda but I didn't.

Owning this car for 17 years is fantastic. Never gave me a big problem. Just the usual common maintenance.
