    • I made the same mistake of buying "cool" cars, like a Ford Thunderbird. Only 13k miles later, my power window needed a new motor, then other things started to need work. The only things that lasted were the engine and transmission. But I didn't keep that car long enough to know. I had enough and sold it at 140k miles. Since then it's only Toyota or Honda for me. I've driven both to well over 200k miles without much problems.

Taught all of my friends to drive in it (12 more accidents), got married (8 more accidents, she drove it) and other than AC (one of ex-wife's collisions) it still ran fine. Had 6 other cars come and go in that time. Gave her to someone in a bad domestic situation and then my other car's engine blew....twice. So I'm back in the Honda family. I miss my old CR-V but it was beyond an eyesore.

The previous two were totalled after being in wrecks (both instances the other driver was found at fault). I'm convinced that Hondas never die and can only be killed. Props to their safety features too. A curtain airbag left me with a goose egg as opposed to what could have been a cracked skull. Word to the wise, just because the other guy is supposed to stop, doesn't mean he will.

  • About Kaizen (at about 33:40): my uncle worked at a Cadillac plant WAY back in the day at a station that involved assembling and installing dashboards. According to him, if they ran into a bad speedometer, they threw it into the reject bin and grabbed another one to put in the car. If they ran out of speedos during production, they just started installing those in the reject bin until they got a fresh supply of new ones. This car was considered the Standard of the World back then, the best GM could do. When I was a kid in the 50s - 70s and we got a new family car, the first accessory we installed was a notepad and pen to ride along on the front seat where we jotted down the flaws we discovered as we got to know the new car. This was the to-do list for the next visit back to the dealer to ask for the problems to be fixed. It’s just how things worked then. We marveled when we got our first Toyota. There was nothing to write down on the list.

    • ​​@@johnbjorkman4144OMG the faulty microchip story. I heard it too but for IBM UK, and it was 3 defective chips per 10,000. So they were in a separate bag with a note. How the story changes but stays the same. Also the car mechanic would say there are over 200 things that can go wrong so you can't fix it all. Then Toyota made that a myth too until they realised the loss of revenues from repairs. So now we have a calculated maintenance/repair cost built in to all products.

  • I can agree on how the Lexus LS400 was truly a luxury vehicle a head of it's time. On my honeymoon, we rented one in Las Vegas, drove it to the Grand Canyon, then to The White Horse National Park in New Mexico. While coming back on I-70 doing 70 mph, I was flagged down by some local residents. I couldn't understand what they were trying to tell me since it was at night. They were all trying to tell me something about the car was not right, yet I couldn't feel and difference in performance. So I pulled over at the next exit and went around to the back of the car to see a totally blown out tire. Mind you I was doing 70mph and couldn't feel anything. It drove smooth without any pulling or drag. Even the rim held it's overall shape so I was able to change the tire. Where normal rims would have bent around the hub. I was so impressed we sold both of our cars and bought one LS400. Which lasted us 7-8 years until I was rear ended and car was totaled.

Also Lexus RX330 2005. That’s my wife’s and mine car that I work on. Just want your intake on the good the bad and the ugly about them.

Drove it to 195k miles and sold it for $1.5k and then bought a 2002 Accord. Last I heard about "El Guapo" was a few years ago and the current owner loves the car and has it at 250k miles! I drove the Accord to 160k miles and sold it for $2k and then bought a 2015 Civic. Now my wife and I just bought a second car, a 2019 Toyota Avalon. Honda and Toyota have never disappointed me!

  • One Honda model you left out was the Sportabout. It was over the curb for $2100 in 1973 (could be off a year) 2 cylinders (motorcycle engine turned sideways), front-wheel drive, great pick up, 50 miles per gallon on regular gas. I loved that car more than any car I've ever owned. Two drawbacks...no a/c and I lived in Miami heat, and it was so tiny that it wasn't uncommon to come out from shopping and find that a few college guys would have picked it up and turned it sideways in the parking space. Then the Civic came out and I traded up, but I wish I still had that car today!
