The road to electrification is the road to perdition.

My experience with Hondas and Toyotas is that they never need to go in for service.

The “EV Mandate” will go away for the next 4 and possibly the next 12 years.

By then, we will hopefully be over the obsession with Climate change hoax and the push for electric cars.

Only time will tell.

Huge relief, my next vehicle (if I have one) is going to be the Nissan Kicks.

The EV/Green Agenda push will end when the Global promoters no longer get TAXPAYER forced subsidies, which is the only way they made money on the scam.

My experience with Hondas has likewise been very good, but they do have some well-known flaws: (1) the door locks and ignition locks wear out too quickly and need to be replaced, (2) their air conditioning compressors are garbage, failing and contaminating the entire air-conditioning system, (3) the electrical systems, including headlight switches and window motors are prone to failing, and (4) window regulators fail predictably.

If Nissan is still involved with Renault, Honda better dump that part or it will drag Honda down. Honda is too good to be associated with Renault.

Basic maintenance that a person can do themselves generally is all they need.
I used to be an “American” brand car buyer only, until I finally realized they weren’t as American as I thought, so I went with quality about 15 years ago. Haven’t regretted it 1 bit.

Newer Hondas are not as good as the older ones. We have them in regularly for a lot of random issues. Still better choice then any other except toyota

Mitsubishi and Nissan will be a millstone to kill Honda.

There is seemingly nobody less competent about anything than the modern day global CEO. The “struggling” number auto maker VW. Hello, they are struggling cause they make crap and now they are all in on EV. MB and BMW announced earlier this year they are not going away with IC cars. The only major company that is running away with sales is the only manufacturer that rejects the stupid 100% EV scam , that is Toyota, who has made the best selling car in the world all hybrid, the Camry. These idiot CEO followers are all clueless. Now that Hondas founders are all gone, they are going down the crap hole too. Honda is Honda cause they do things their own way. They don’t merge with and buy losers. Nissan has been given 12-18 months to live. Nissan is an anvil that will drown Honda. What idiot would have anything to do with a French or Italian auto company. Chrysler soon to be history with stellcluless running its show. If it wasn’t for a small subset of guys who love Ram trucks or lesbos who have money to burn to buy Jeeps, there wouldn’t be a Chrysler either.

You’ve hit the nail on the head. Those are the most common issues we see on the newer hondas. 2015+. Not so much on the older ones though.

It’s not just them, Ford has lost billions dealing with EV mandates.

We need a battery that can charge as fast as you can fill a car with gas, that doesn’t need to be replaced and doesn’t catch fire.

Until that’s done EV’s shouldn’t be forced.

* Top Japanese carmakers Nissan Motor and Honda Motor are understood to be exploring a blockbuster merger, as the two rival companies seek to stay competitive on the road to full electrification.

Sell Mortimer sell.
