I have a hard time accepting that. Since 1990, it's hard to find any automaker who has more cars on the road over 300k+ miles than Honda. VVT has been in Honda's hands for a LONG time.
You're confusing VVT with VTECH. BMW has a long run of VVT, called VANOS and it does not have a steller record.
On the other hand, my little Mazda 3 has full VVT on the intake cam and at 110k miles, most on dino, it's pretty quiet at cold startup.
