There's plenty of hondas that are built right, but for every one of those, there are 10 ricers.I see this stuff with Accords all the time (it's what I drive). Chrome overload, cut springs, bouncing on blown shocks, and fart cans.

As far as everything else about Hondas, my autoX car is my daily driver - a 91 Accord. It just hit 300,000 miles on the original engine, and I'm still taking it back out to race once the season starts back up. Can't beat Honda reliability.
