Keep in it the (Honda) family

[CrackerTeg]

Don't suck at all. I've owned multiple Hondas and multiple Toyotas. Hondas have had problems, and the Toyotas have not.

Every manufacturer has their problems dude. Its the nature of the beast. Compare track records of them all and that says a lot.

I think Toyota has had their fair share of problems too.  I can think of a few recalls that Toyota has had over the past few years.  I'm not saying that Honda is perfect either, because they've had plenty of shit wrong with their a/t's and we all know their current designs look like a rhino's asshole.  I just wanted to point out the fact that none of these companies are perfect.  It just seems that you've been turned off to Hondas because you got an Accord with a shitty transmission and then multiple shops hacked the repair.

Not for nothing tim, but in mikes defense, that would turn me off too.  If I've had one bad experience, why would I want to repeat it.

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

I agree.  If I were in Mike's shoes, I wouldn't want another Honda either.

Honestly this is my third Honda and the other two were bad experiences also (both MT's). I don't care how shitty the Trans design is and that the shops hacked it but, EVERY person I know with a V6 auto has had it rebuilt or replaced under 100K. I don't know what my next car will be but, I've had awesome luck with Toyota granted no company is perfect but, Camrys have treated me well.

That's cool man.  Go with what you like.

[Mike]

Not opposed to Honda actually strongly considering the Accord as a daily and doing a Notchback build.

[timot_one]

I think it all depends on the year Accord you're planning on getting.  A notchback would be sick as hell.  You should back half it if you plan on taking it to the strip though.

This accord is my first honda as well.  I have to admit that I was one of those dufuses who thought I'd die before driving a honda but I have to say this is far and away the best car I've ever owned.  Here's a rundown:

1st-'84 camaro z28-destroyed via driver stupidity
2nd-'68 Fairlane-faster than crap...11mpg
3rd-'92 regal-p.o.s. beater
4th-grand prix gtp-fun and fast and built like crap
5th-Accord-so good so far

[slipkord]

[timot_one]
