Agreed, same experience with my wife's current Honda Fit. And I like the thought experiment of Tesla Model S (or whatever) is to Falcon 9 as '98 Honda Civic is to... Wait they do they say the name if this rocket anywhere?
- EvanAnderson 1y agoThe Honda rocket won't be as "fancy" as the SpaceX but it'll have vastly better parts availability.
- randmeerkat 1y agoAnd JDM badges.
- robertlagrant 1y agoAnd magic seats
- tersers 1y agoVTEC decal on the side
- redwall_hp 1y agoHopefully anime wraps will be available as well.
- spacecadet 1y agoUS Taxpayers ain't wrong, voted most reliable rocket 10 years in a row.
- HeWhoLurksLate 1y agoI just want to know who will get the J.D. Power Initial Quality Award and then subsequently fall apart five minutes after it gets judged (lookin at you, Stellantis)
- SEJeff 1y agoI can't wait to see the GIANT spoiler on the engine cowling that does nothing more than help them push it if it breaks down.
- legitster 1y agoMake sure you do a valve adjustment on the Fit engine every 100k or so. Easy job to do with some basic tools and a few hours on a Saturday afternoon.
- SoftTalker 1y agoMy experience with Honda has not been great. Both Hondas I have owned had complete transmission failures. Full disclosure, I bought them used (as I do all my cars) with unknown maintenance history and I did get a few years out of each of them so it still worked out "ok" in an economic sense. The engines do seem pretty bulletproof. But I would not buy another, at least not one with an automatic transmission.
- officeplant 1y agoI find the common problem with automatics is their service time scale. Bad car owners often forget to do oil changes often enough and those are only 3.5-10k miles apart depending on climate/oil type/etc. Which means services that happen every 50-75k miles or greater get left to people that actually maintain service histories and timely maintenance. Personal example buying a used car with 60k miles that had some idle/start issues at times but generally ran well. Everything seemed to be serviced in a timely manner but the spark plugs were still the originals. Those spark plugs have a generous "100,000 mile" service interval. I pulled the originals and sure enough they weren't in the greatest shape. $40 later I never had start/idle issues again for the remaining time I owned the car.
- caycep 1y agoThat was a known thing from the '00s decade cars. But good excuse for a manual transmission swap!
