Dunno but I’ve really enjoyed my Hondas since the gas crunches in the ‘80’s. Every one has gone well over 200,000 miles. I highly recommend them. Great cars. I did have a 20 year career in automotive and am familiar with 6-sigma. Korean (South) were also very high sigma in QUALITY. German technology also terrific.
“German technology also terrific.”
Not my experience. We bought a second Jetta and it gulped about one quarter of oil per tank of gasoline. Every bit of plastic in the cabin broke or fell apart at the four year mark.
