Lesson learned over 10 years, buy Honda.

Hit 11K today after a 620 mile round trip. MPG is well better than stated, I get 34 highway driving it like I stole it. I'm just SO happy with this car. It's smooth, fast, comfortable, full of the latest tech, reliable and affordable. All I've done is put gas in it and change the oil around 8K (there's an oil life guage that tells you when to change it, I change early. Amazing. It took 10 years to learn the lesson to stick w/Honda after my 2004 that was bullet proof. I replaced a 13 Altima, bought back under lemon law due to numerous problems, largest being dropped the transmission twice within 7k miles. The Lord works in mysterious ways, got enough $ to upgrade to the V6. Love my Honda!

This car is amazing. I've had zero issues with it so far. The only things I've done so far was changed the oil and transmission fluid. Changed tranny at 40k miles. The sound system needs some work but I noticed that any model but the EX-L have a pretty good sound system. The speakers are garbage in every model, but the EX-L absolutely sounds horrible. Bluetooth sounds a little better, but horrible for the money. The engine and transmission have been great so far, no oil consumption (knock on wood). Brakes could use a little work also, but I'm planning on upgrading to a more performance style brake with more "bite." The car is super quiet on the inside and very comfortable. I get a little anxious in the drivers seat because my back and legs get tired. They aren't the most comfortable for long road trips, but driving around town it's perfect. I'm hoping to get at least 200k miles out of the car without any major problems. UPDATE (3/16/21): Not sure when I wrote the first review, but honestly, nothing has changed with car. Currently sitting at 82k miles and have not one issue with the car. Still zero oil consumption, (oil does not move an ounce) among 6k mile oil changes and transmission is excellent condition with fluid changes every 25k miles. I achieved my personal best for MPG at 37.7 mpg along a 300 mile roundtrip ranging between 75 and 80 mph. As for the audio and speakers, they are not bad. The "radio" is pretty bad, but Bluetooth does not sound bad at all. The infotainment system sometimes acts up but it is not bad to live with, as it does not do it all the time and has done it since the car was purchased. Not too sure why there are many complaints on oil consumption with this car as I own two of these vehicles and not one burns oil. Just make a habit to check your oil often before you drive with low oil unnoticed and then complain the car burns oil thereafter. Update (3/17/23) I still have not many complaints with this car. I have 113,000 miles (car still does not burn any oil). I did spark plugs around 90k miles and noticed one of the tube seals was bad. I replaced the valve cover gasket and spark plug tube seals myself (very easy, anyone can do it with basic knowledge). The timing chain tensioner was very noisy (since I bought the car with 30,000 miles). Found Hondas TSB online and decided to change it. No noise and I did it 30k miles ago. I did notice my rear main seal is starting to leak pretty bad, I have to add about a half quart of oil in 5k miles, but not bad at all. I know this car does not burn oil because the exhaust too stays very clean (no carbon at all). With 113k miles I’m still averaging about 35 mpg. As a reminder, please make sure to check oil regularly. Once it runs low once, will most likely start burning oil after that. With my previous review I’ve stated how important it is. About a decade ago, manufacturers weren’t using low tension piston rings and most people could get by not checking oil. Todays car require it as they use low tension rings. Surprisingly, this car does not burn any even with the mileage. Don’t let it run low, EVER!

Got a great deal on the car. I've owned honda civic, toyota camry and acura rsx in the past and this is one of the best cars I've owned so far. Electronic Stability Control worked great while driving during snow storm. So far so good.

Faulty Starter

Starter needs to be replaced with 26,500 miles on the car. Seems to be a common problem with this car. Also, the tires that came with the car do not do well in the rain or snow. Honda quality has definitely declined.

Do not buy this car unless you want to get stranded! My car is 4 yrs old w/60,000 miles on it and my starter is going bad. When you push to start all it does is make a click. You have to push and hold it like 8-10 time before it starts. I do not understand why there isn't a recall for this issue. I got an estimate of $700 to fix!!! This is not a good look Honda!
