I've had this car for about 2 1/2 years. During the first month, the breaks started to squeel, the trim on the doors started to fall off, during snowy or even damp conditions the wheels would lock-up making the car slide rather than stop(maybe the tires?) the engine has been making a ticking sound for the past little while, etc. I sold my crx and took on the 4 year lease when I was in college (I'm an idiot!) Í've been trying to find out how much it will cost to get out of the lease, but they have been dicking me around for a few weeks.

Not a single problem for more than 1 year of driving in harsh condition like traffic jam, or passing a slow car. I just can't believe this car doesn't has any problem except changing the motor oil and washing it. Other than that I think it's excellent to own it if you don't have much money to spend on car otherwise buy a camry instead if you have family.
Best Investment
