I bought my car with 45,000 on it and now its got 230,000. The most expensive repair ive had to do in 20 years is one water pump and timing belt , If you can find one to buy that's not been modified, the stock V-tec with 5 speed will absolutely fly and it runs like a clock, when you start doing the mods on the engine your going to lose dependability in my opinion but that's your choice, The only negative with my car has been the paint the clear coat started peeling years ago a body shop guy told me it was common for this year and model color (RED) GO Honda cant beat them even older used ones that's been taken care of solid transportation , dependability, Maintenance cost, less repairs than most.vant beat a Honda of You simply keep up Regular maintenance.. you can ramp it up but if you put too many mods thinking your helping performance your on a slippery slope besides I don’t it constantly having issues with Coolers blowers that’s just me

I've driven this car for twenty three years. Agile, nimble, trustworthy; it's a winner.

I've driven this car for twenty three years. it's well worth the regular investment in maintenance and repairs! I've just had my first, yes, first, brake job at a little over 162K miles. I fully expect to drive it for another twenty or thirty years. don't be cheap and neglect needed maintenance and repairs! ! ! I can not replace this vehicle with similar quality (at no older than two years) for less than $30,000.
