Honda seems to have other issues. They were at one time bulletproof cars (except for the interference engine/timing belt issues, which was always really a maintenance issue.). They are now having a lot more problems.
Not even sure where to go to nowadays. If you can’t trust Honda and Toyota anymore who can you trust? Better off buying a cheapy and hope for the best. Throw away culture strikes again.
My 2024 Honda HRV was made in Mexico. I appreciate it doesn’t have a bunch of efficiency crap on it like a turbo or auto stop/start, but build quality is definitely not on par with the Honda of as recent as 2021. Tried to buy a 2021 HRV but the wife didn’t want it.
