Hondas have unscheduled problems just like any other make.

My four Hondas, owned over a course of 15 years (usually two at a
time), had fewer repairs that this guy's Saab in three years. Three of
the four Hondas never had a repair other to the exhaust system, this
being considered a disposable part in New Hampshire like sparkplugs.
I drove one of the former Hondas 10 years and the other 12 years; the
two others are still going strong after 3 years (no repairs) and 8
years (none but exhaust).

I have become a bit religous about them. I appreciate that Toyotas are
also good, and that all cars have become more durable in since about
1990, but my experience with the Honda mark has been almost magical.
