I drove a fucking BMW with 100k miles for 50k and only did basic maintenance, and I drove it harder than the Civic
I thought Honda was reliable

Sometimes things just suck. It could've been a hard 100k you know
>>14902059
This
Who knows what it went through before you.
Since the late 90S , honda has had average tier reliability. The reliability meme is from cars earlier then that time period , the king in that department will always be Toyota.
>>14902059
Yeah, just...fuck. I bought the Honda so I would have a cheaper car to maintain in grad school. Instead I've put more money into this than I ever did the BMW.
>>14902077
I'd think this is well below average tier, no?

Sounds like shitty PO's
Clutch needing to be replaced that early was probably lunched a bunch of times. Brake piston breaking is probably from a small shop or they did the brakes themselves incorrectly. (Dad's frontier had the same problem from getting it done from a small shop.) Transmission popping out of 3rd is a common problem since owners won't fucking change the trans fluid every 30k miles and they leave their hand on the shift knob like fuccbois. They probably didn't avoid potholes/manholes and didn't slow down at train tracks hence why the bump stomps went to shit so early. Motor mounts need replacing nice the PO's were reving that at every other Honda they see. Clear coat pealing on a 10 year old car indicates they didn't wash/wax/polish it at all in the cars lifetime and probably parked outside. Aux jack acting up is from it getting wet from moisture, sweat, etc. or it could be your cable. That maintenance record sounds fishy to me.

Never listen to the memes, you should have stayed with the BMW.
>>14902021
Just wait until the rust sets in. My dad has a 2009 that's already got rust around all the various little dings it's acquired over the years. I don't know if it's anecdotal but jap steel seems to rust way easier.
>>14902155
I did double check the jack, the cable is fine.
>>14902106
You think I have money to give away my bread?
>>14902169
I've never seen a rusty car in my lifr, how incompetent do you have to be for a car to rust in your care
>>14902765
road salt fucks cars up dude

>neglect to throughly inspect an abused vehicle
>get mad
Also servicing the callipers is regular maintenance on any car I really fucking doubt it just 'broke' it probably seized due to being bone dry
Maybe test drive the fucking car next time ya?
>>14902021
Shoulda bought an old civic

>Have 89 prelude
> 160 k miles
