I have owned a Honda since 1994 and although I have test driven Toyota's and similar cars I am happy with Honda. My '94 EX is still a beautiful car to drive, look at and maintain. It is over 14 years old 116,000 miles and that is the longest I have ever driven a car. I have thought of trading just because the trade in deal is always so amazing, but my Dad used to say,"If it ain't broke, don't fix it." I am afraid Honda people may not be as conscientious if they find out how so many of us just keep on driving the "old" car rather than buy a new one. It seems my gas mileage is better than newer compact cars, and it is as comfortable to ride in as a luxury car. Even my Dad, the old "buy American" was impressed.
Another advantage feature is flight deck which is gorgeous ones and top class pickup, handsome, soft-touch materials, clear gauges, and just the right amount of brushed-look accents.
