I've been driving Hondas, mostly Civics for about 40 years, never had a serious problem with any of them, always had a good relationship with my dealers, always have my car serviced by the same Honda Certified Master Technician who I always get to know. The only real issue I have with current Hondas is what I consider to be excessive "nanny tech" and the obvious issues with oil dilution, which I've learned is not an exclusively Honda issue. My wife's CRV, which is exclusively short tripped, does have dilution issues, we just change oil twice a year using Mobil1 5W-30 EP. No real issues and I've driven several Civics over 100k, one, I think a 2010 Civic needed rear struts at about 65k, about $600, covered by Hondacare. Incidentally, I change CVT fluid every 30k, never had a transmission issue. After a 30 year career servicing medical equipment, I believe a pro-active, pre-emptive approach to maintenance is preferable to reactive.
