I have purchesed my last American made car. Not only are they poor quality but they support the auto workers so they can retire at age 48 and make $8.00 per hour in their retirement until the day they die.
The cost of American cars has skyrocketed and the quality continues to decline. I heard on the news that the average American made car has powertrain or engine problems at 3 years. The average Japanese car has it’s first problem at around 8 years.
It is unfortunate and I would love to support the American auto industry but I can only do what I can afford to do. With the cost of gas I have purchased my first Honda and love it with the average MPG at 34. This I can afford! I think I will continue to buy JAPANESE HONDAS for as long as I live.

This person has the right idea.........

I own a 1991 Honda Civic LX with 247,000 miles. Original engine and trans, no leaks and never let me down. Runs great! Glad to see from other Honda owner that I still have 300,000 miles to go. Great gas mileage, commuter. I also own a 1993 Honda CBR1000F with 71,000 miles, runs strong, no leaks.

Happy car owner.......

I have a 2002 Honda Odyssey with 531,000 miles. I had to replace a wheel bearing. Now the tie rods have worn out. Not bad at all. This current van replaced a 2000 Odyessey that had 280,000 miles before it was hit. Had to replace the same wheel bearing on that one. I have another 2000 that has only 231,000 miles. My total miles driven with Hondas are 1,042,000 miles and I replaced two wheel bearings. Great cars.

I have a 1997 Honda CR-V. It has 211,000 miles. The car has never had a problem; I have followed the Honda maintenance program religiously, doing all checkups and recommended maintenance items. The body is in great shape, and I live in Ohio so the salt has not damaged the body. I will never own anything other than a Honda again! I plan to keep it to 350K or 400K, or maybe more if it is still going strong! Enjoy not having car payments.

I have a 1997 Honda Civic EX coupe currently with 237,800 miles on it. Most of the people I know were saying that my car wouldn't make it to 210,000 miles by the way I drive. I now have almost 30,000 more miles than what they predicted. The only problem I have is the passenger side door is secured due to a malfunction with the lock and the window opens slightly. I also have had 3 minor accidents, and currently commute from south San Diego to Los Angeles five days a week, and my car still is running great.

I have a 1995 Honda Accord that has an odometer reading of 368,145. It's a manual transmission, and still runs as though it's brand new. The only work that has been done on it is to replace the master cylinder and the ignition switch.

The 1997 Honda Civic LX my wife got new for her 16th birthday is going strong at 210,000 miles. I only wish it had arm-powered crank windows. Also the Ebay bargain 1995 Honda Odyssey EX I bought 2 years ago is running great with 160,000 miles on it. It was the holy grail of used cars - spent most of it's first five years in an old lady's warm garage. As good as the mechanical longevity is, I'm equally amazed at the shine of these orginal paint jobs. I expect to get 100,000 more miles out of each of my sweet-running Hondas.

How many miles does your car got, con_tiki?

My '82 Civic 1500 GL is purring along at 230,000 miles. This is the most reliable car I ever owned. I wish it would quit so I could turn it in but it just doesn't want to give up. However, lack of parts may make that inevitable.

1990 Honda CRX HF 308,002 miles just turned 308,000 today! My first car and my only car, though my wife has had a couple of different ones. I have been driving this car for 11 years. Original paint except the front bumper. Original motor, 2nd transmission - bearings wore out on the 1st one (didnt change the transmission fluid). I just changed the original struts. The original coolant hoses lasted 15 years, though they were about to burst when I changed them. Very little rust. I plan on driving it until i am dead or the car is stolen/burned/destroyed. I would like to hit 1,000,000 but that's not going to happen as I drive less than 10k a year now. I'm shooting for 500,000.

I have a Ford with 2,000,000 miles. it is great I only had to change the spark plugs once. I have been driving this car for thirty years and gets better every year. I am hoping for 1,000,000 more but I am getting older now and don't drive as much anymore. Love my FORD!!!

I drive a 1994 Acura Legend LS coupe 6-speed with 324,000 miles on the original engine, transmission, and clutch. I've owned it since 2003 when it had 95,000 on it. I'm religious about maintenance and the car has never let me down. It doesn't burn or leak a drop of oil between changes.

I've seen brake pads last 500K on Hondas and Acuras.

I just clicked 250,718 miles on my 2004 Pilot. When I last brought it in for service the advisor mistakenly entered 25,000 for the milage. He didn't believe me when I corrected him and went out to verify for himself.
