Arrow misconceptions that need to be cleared

First, we all have civics and they are not going to last forever w/o major maintaince. Sorry to burst you bubble, but civics unlike the Accords are not built to as long as the 200k miles that some of you state. And the ones that do will disportionately be EX's.

Ex= extended use edition
lx = luxury edition
dx = deluxe edition
vp = value package

just wanted to clear up some things.

How do you figure a Civic won't last as long as an Accord? Sure an Accord has a bigger motor (not necessarily better in terms of reliability) and more luxury features, but what does that have to do with it lasting longer.

Maybe you should enlighten us more oh great one, either that or quit talking out of your ***.

I think any honda motor will last to 200k if taken care of properly and not beaten on in a daily manner.

thats weird how you can estimate engine life on trim levels when there are 2 different engines and 4 or 5 diff trim levels, or are there 6? I've heard of CX before is that a 7g trim level? well either way.. IMO all honda engines will last if taken care of..

^lol, get your head out your ***, trim levels have NOTHING to do with reliabilty
and BTW, any honda will indeed last 200K if maintained, reguardless of TRIM LEVEL

I got the same idea while reading this too..

I noticed on the link there is an EX "Special Edition" (2005)
that has the spoiler/6disc changer, leather steering wheel wrap, etc.. stock.. "unique rims" which I think the EX has better wheels than the Special Edition rims..

what makes you think a civic can't last as long as a accord. I know courrier driver with way over 100k in there 7th gens and I know someone with a 5th gen auto beyond 200k. Its a simple car, Honda's best selling car in north America. Its probably the car they put most of there effort on, snice it brings them there bread and butter. Ever seen the problems on V6 Accord. Usually higher end cars have more problems, since they are exposiong newer technology or are engineered more complex. I'm not saying always true but it is sometimes.
