I think the two issues with Honda is all of the new computer junk they have to put on the car and they keep making the power train more "efficient," which means smaller engines with turbos and 9 speed transmissions.

My 2014 Honda CRV is bullet proof and had one warranty issue in the second year. The CRV has over 200K miles and does not use a lick of oil. My wife's 2020 Honda Pilot had some computer software/wiring issue at purchase, but we knew of the defect (the internet had already documented the problem and the solution) prior to purchase and the dealership got all issues worked out within two appointments. The Pilot only has 65K miles, but has had no other issues.

OBTW, my CRV has a 175HP 2 liter engine, but the new CRV has a 175 HP 1.5 liter engine with a turbo. Guess which one will need to be replaced first?

Scotty on YouTube does not like turbocharged engines. He likes Toyota number one, followed by Honda

I think the trend to putting in 4 cylinder turbocharged engines, instead of V6 is driven by the EPA Cafe Standards.
