how many domestic cars can run 200,000+ miles w/ marginal maintinance? or can still bring 2,000 all day long.

Bah! not worth. One of my co-workers is 62 years old and one of my favorite sayings of his is this "hondas come in for maintanace,all other cars come in for repairs." you can treat a honda like shit and it'll still get you around.

Cause they don't know what "engine" problems really are! I had a GM truck that I got rid of because after 114K miles, TWO engines and THREE transmissions later, I could not afford it!!!!!

I've put close to a grand into my honda, but it was all maintenance, none was REQUIRED. My previous car was a newer (94) ford, and it is/was/will-always-be a piece of shit. I had to shell out nearly a grand on REQUIRED repairs. My 90 honda is exponentially better. My grandfather has a ford van, it has 75000 and is ready to fall apart. Probably won't last for another year. My ford had about 75000, and as you now know, was a POS. Fords last you 75k, hondas last you 200k. Of course theres always cars that break the stereotypes, but not in my experiences. I paid a couple hundred more for the older honda but its worth it 10x over. These MSN people seem to have some strange info. Maybe they base their reviews only on hondas that break down. I haven't had any of those problems.
