Why Honda???

Well it's Monday and i'm just chillin. I was wondering why or how did i fall in love with honda so much. I like alot of other cars (enzo,lambo,bmw) and some others but i really love honda. I guess because they're just so capable of any and almost everthing. Y do you all drive Honda??

Because they USED to be rock reliable and last at least 250K.
Had 2 Accords, Now I regret giving the last one away. This Civic is my last "NEW" Honda. I'm going back to the older GOOD Hondas. Still Love em, just not the new ones.

smart man. all the hondas now, the mainstream ones (accord, normal civics) aren't that great as far as durability. their higher performance cars seem to do fine, however.

Well obviously i don't have the bank for a lambo, but the reason i drive i a honda is definitely not because i could'nt afford anything else. Y u would write that makes me wonder youR comprehension level because in no way did you answer the question, i hate when people add their two cents in a $10 dollar coversation.

my choices at the time were 03 Corolla, 02 Sentra GXE, 02 Civic LX...... enough said.... but I also picked the Civic b/c of the aftermarket support..... but it's not likely my next car will be a Honda.... already have 2 in the house.

I like Honda civics for their reputation. Hondas are good reliable cars that (if you take good care of decently) can last you atleast 250K miles. They may be just simple tin cans as some people say. But they are GOOD tin cans!...damnit!. Plus, Hondas are affordable, good looking, and able to be moded in almost any kinda way.

I also agree, older Hondas were better! My brother still has his 93 Del Sol and honestly, my 02 Civic had more rattles at 15K miles than his had at 100K miles. The plastic they used was better too!

I needed something to drive back and forth to work while my Eagle is waiting for an engine transplant...And because they're nice cars. I had a 2003 Cavalier, and I saw this car sitting around at a local dealership, and no questions asked, I traded my Cav in. This car has a build quality 10x better then that POS Cavalier. When I sat in the Cavalier, it just looked cheap compared to this one.

hmmmmm...I really favor the Japs engineering because I've studied their whole country and learned a lot about them. They seemed to impress me with their cost effective good looking long lasting cars, compare to a lot of other crap i've seen on the road that looks horrible. It's like I can relate to them when it comes to modding my computers and cars. (((more for less.)))

My choice at the time of buying my Honda was the 04 eclipse or 04 Honda. (FACT) I picked Honda because they are more reliable. (OPINION) Also Because they look better.

Why? because my parents got me the Civic after my sis wrecked my Corolla. I would have rather had another Corolla. It would have been cheaper and better built than a Civic.
