Honda Problems
No car is perfect, but we've gathered everything relating to the Honda reliability here to help you decide if it's a smart buy.
Life expectancy
GOOD question. How long is a piece of string? I doubt that a car company would want, or could answer your question. How do you define the life of a car -- does its life end when it finally snuffs out going down the driveway? Perhaps it's when it is worn beyond reasonable fixing? Is it simply when the warranty expires? It's probably none of these, but I'd expect a car to do 250,000km without a major failure of the main components. Many cars will do more, as your Honda Shuttle did, but is it reasonable to expect a car to go forever? I recall in the 1950s it was common to have to rebuild an engine after 60,000km or so. We don't do that now because of improvements in technology.
