      LoL, that's probably not far from the truth! Honda is great at stomping out the truth about their failures. They hide Asimo every time he falls, they lie about deaths related to their vehicles, etc... Best facts are found on Car complaints, these show you which Honda's are good and which Honda's have problems. If you check it, you will find 25% of Hondas are good and 90% of Toyotas are good.

Honda makes faster engines for smaller cars. But they make poor automatic transmissiins. Toyota makes the best auto trans in the world. Toyota also makes good slightly larger cars and trucks. Honda has no business making trucks. If you want a small, relatively quick reliable car, you go standard trans civic. If you want a reliable car but don't car about speed, or you want a truck, you go standard or automatic Toyota.

    First car I had was a 1991 Honda Civic DX hatchback. Got it with a little over 80k miles, and drove it up until 10 years ago when I sold it to get a larger family vehicle.
    Regular fluid changes and maintenance, with no big issues other than having to rebuild the manual transmission once (was rough on it in my younger years). Sold it with almost 300k and it still ran like a champ. Great cars!

No rust here and warm start-ups help engines like a 90's Civic get to 600k other than the auto transmission

      I wanted the LX because I’m not a fan of the HondaLink touchscreen; too much to go wrong.
      The 2.0 is plenty peppy and efficient. I’m going to stick to a 5,000 mile oil change interval with Mobil 1 and I’m sure it’ll run for a very long time. I also plan to perform the maintenance items I recommend to my customers, such as transmission fluid services (drain and fill for the CVT).

Scotty said in the video that they had rear drum brakes but if you bought the EX or Si trim they had all disc brakes. These cars also have very high crash test results. I lost mine in a head on collision. Bad bruise across my chest from the seat belt and a little torn cartilage in my chest but otherwise okay. Unless you’re getting a manual transmission one I wouldn’t buy newer than 2011 because after they redesigned it in 2012 they started putting stupid CVT transmissions in them.

      Daughter bought a new 2012 Mazda 2, 5 speed manual trans, now it has 160K and no repairs, only good regular maintenance.

    I love my 2017 Civic EXT! It's a blast to drive, handles VERY well, and the turbo 4 cyl gives it a lot of power! It also gets excellent MPG! Drove all the way to San Diego CA from the San Fernando Valley and used less than half a tank! Not to mention the body style is straight up sexy! The current gen Civic is one of the best looking sedans on the road right now!
