growing up I had a honda prelude, when I got older I needed more reliability so i purchase a toyota 4runner. Now that I have 2 kids i wanted the power and the room so I purchased a used acura tl 2 years ago which had 107000kms on it. I commute every day and switched to synthetic oil to improve engine performance. It has 167000kms and it still drives great with all the power and room i need. No repairs as of yet...Minus brake pads and regular oil changes. I love my Acura.
