I'm the original owner of this car and have never had any problems with it. I have followed Honda's recommended maintenance schedule and have been rewarded with close to 10 years of worry-free driving. I take this car on a 2500km road trip about once a year and am amazed at how good the fuel economy still is (7.7km/100km). City driving fuel economy is about 11km/100 km (I have been tracking my fuel usage over the past year). This car operates like new and drives very well. I would like to see this car go to someone who will take care of it as well as I have.
