My 1996 Honda Civic CX Hatchback is sitting outside in the
apartment's parking lot. It has three hundred thousand miles on it.

Aside from having to put a quart of oil in it every time I
fill up, it is running just fine. I keep it around as a 'chores and
errands' car.

I just purchased a 2010 Honda Fit sports model. I expect it
to do that well, too.

I've had two Chevy's (one used, one new) and two Ford
Mustangs. American cars and dealers have caused me a lot of pain.

I'm on my third Honda and I'm always been very pleased.

I've come to the conclusion that you can't go wrong with
Honda.

You will be sorely disappointed. Honda no longer makes cars that are
intended to last, or be reliable.

Sucks, but that's the truth.

And think about it: they would rather you come back every five or so
years and buy another one.

It'll take several cycles of that before people get the idea that Hondas
are no longer what they were. But what the hell, by that time (20 more
years?) the guys who invented this scheme have made their millions and
are long gone, and have left the resultant GM-style mess to the new guys.
