I have always been a gm person, but I gave Honda a try, which was a gigantic mistake. It wouldn't even start on the second day, it had Major airbag problems and transmission problems. The build quality is also terrible, the front fender fell off at 4,500 miles (I didn't even go over any bumps) I need my car for work driving on the highway, and this Honda has broken down on me twice while cruising at 65 mph. This all happened in about a 5 month period, I ended filing a lemon law suit, got my money back and bought a better car since the end of February, I've been driving a new Chevy impala ls (base model) and it has not given me a single problem please, if your buying a car, don't buy a Honda!

Great Car for People Who Know Nothing About Cars

My girlfriend has one of these, (EX top of the line V6 all options) I build cars and trucks for various performance purposes such as drag racing, autocross, roll racing etc. Naturally I find cars like hers to be uninspiring, vanilla, no soul. Not embarrassing necessarily, but nothing to take pride in either, this car is pure (MEH). However, this car can take one hell of a beating. She hasn't washed it in over 2 years, trashed the interior, did very little maintenance, but we cleaned the car and threw it up for sale and people actually want to buy this thing. I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole, but these people seem to know nothing about cars which makes it a great car to buy and beat on and then sell. Other than that you should really consider aiming a little higher in life If this car is something you're excited about.

I am so upset with Honda and this car! This was my very first new car I have had. I went with a Honda because I wanted something reliable and long lasting. This is the complete opposite. I had same problem with brakes at 17,000 miles, had it in the shop b/c paint was chipping around windows and bumper. Last night it broke down and I had to get a jump at midnight in the middle of no where. Seriously my 2.5 year old car broke down?? Its now in the shop for that and also b/c my engine sounds crazy loud and sounds like it's ticking. Dealer said the ticking and loud engine are normal. I need to get rid of this car so I guess I paid $15,000 to drive for 2.5 yrs. Don't BUY!!

I bought my car almost 2 yrs ago. It was cute car and great on gas. I bought it used so at first it needed a little work. I left the lot w the car and the car died, so they replaced the battery. Plus none of the car key remotes worked so they replaced all those batteries.

This car was my first Honda and it will be last. I bought this car new because I heard good reviews about Honda, but at the end I was very disappointed. I will never buy a Honda. Most of the cars companies only care about making money and forget about us, the customers. We have to pay the price so they can make millions of dollars.
