Scotty. I think that survey is fundamentally flawed. It seems to be based on the assumption that all people have are equally as emotional and/or that they are equally divided among brands. Perhaps the MBTI feelers tend to lean towards brands that focus on emotional selling and thinkers lean towards brands that deliver on rational reasons to buy (eg Toyota/Honda). Honda sales are down in 2020 and 2022 but perhaps those 'thinkers' are significantly less inclined to buy during periods of major uncertainty.

FYI My 2001 CRV retailed at $19k for the base model. Adjusted for inflation that’s about $32k in today’s dollars. So that price you’re seeing for new CRVs which are superior in every way except reliability is not too far off, all things considered.

I ve always been a fan of Hondas. The reason I switched from Honda to Toyota is comfort. When driving Toyota you immediately feel this super soft and quiet suspension that really appeals to me. Honda has better steering and overall a more sportier feel but the older I become the more I tend to value comfort, and Toyota does deliver it better.

I finally got a chance to rent a brand new Honda Accord and then recently a brand new Toyota Camry. Although I consider the new body on the Accord, extremely bland compared to the last generation. I must admit when it comes to the fun-to-drive factor, it easily beats out the Camry. But when it comes to the most adjustable and comfortable seats. The Camry wins

I've owned BMW, Range Rover, Infinity, and Jaguar and although a base Accord doesn't compare to those cars it's enough to keep me happy with it's performance. The best thing is the incredibly low cost to own and incredible reliability. Not sure why people don't like the CVT engines but mine has been a pleasure to own as far as I'm concerned. Of course the fact that I got into that car for $21k is a big factor... no way I'd pay $40k for an Accord new today and still expect to be as pleased. For that kind of money I may have to look at Toyota or maybe even Mazda? Honda's appeal is affordability over time and new Honda's are just too expensive now to provide that feature.

7 years ago I entered a Honda dealer in the Dallas metroplex to trade in my 16 years old Accord LX and told the sales guy that I owned that Accord, a Pilot EX, a Civic Si, and a GoldWing 1800 Air Bag. When I started to discuss the price, he came right of the bet: "we don't negotiate our price tags, you pay what you see..." He did not even say "thank you for been a loyal Honda customer". Nothing. I went straight out of the door to another dealer brand, bought their sedan and slowly got rid of my Hondas. Today I don't own any.

This must apply to only the most recent Hondas. I've owned nothing but Hondas for 30 years and only two times did I ever go to a shop for anything but tires, oil change or batteries. My 1998 Civic hatchback had the AC go out about 160,000 miles. They replaced the compressor. Then at 165,000 it had a wire bundle chaffing issue that causes the headlights to strobe really fast and they weren't bright enough. And it also caused the speedometer needle to waver back and forth about in a 10 mph spread, so I couldn't tell exactly how fast I was going. But they fixed the wires easily and didn't even charge me much for that. Those occurred in 2006 and 2007. My brother bought it and still drives it and it's 25 years old. All my other five Hondas have required nothing but normal maintenance. I've never been on the side of the road in a Honda but two times when I stupidly ran out of gas and once when I slid off the road on ice and had to be pulled out! Not the cars fault, it was the dummies fault.

Great video. I bought a new Honda Accord back in 2001 with the V6 engine, it has been an extremely reliable car. All I have had to do to it is wipers tires lights and brakes in 160k miles. I still drive it today. I also bought a new Toyota pickup truck in 1994 which was the same way, extremely reliable with the same service record except i had to put in a clutch last year. I changed the oil every 3k miles. I got tired of them both so back in 2010 I bought a dodge ram 2500 with the Cummins diesel engine to pull a 30ft camper and I have had more trouble with it in 45k miles than my Toyota in 160k miles. As far as the Honda, I bought a new Honda CR-V hybrid in 2022 and love it. I will have to say that I liked the Toyota venza better but when I ask how much to change the batteries in 10 years the shop told me the venza was 10k VS the Honda at 3500. Even though I liked the venza better, it wasn't worth, 6500 dollars more in 10 years for the batteries. I keep my cars even though my neighbors laugh at me for it until they are worn out, that's the only way I can get my money's worth out of them since the prices are so high.I am 64 years old now and retired. Hopefully I will never have to buy another car, saving me lots of money and debt. Honda or Toyota you can't go wrong, with them, they are the only car brands I would buy.

Started to have battery issues, which Honda said was not the battery, but when I took it another place and got a non-Honda battery, the problem went away. When I looked at new vehicles, I wanted a CRV, but I did not want a CVT transmission, and I found out there were oil dilution issues, which I did not want to deal with. So I got a Mazda, a brand I had never considered in my life, and I love it.

The engine reduction is due to regulations. Carmakers don't really plan on going turbos, but lawmakers require them.

The engine reduction is due to regulations. Carmakers don't really plan on going turbos, but lawmakers require them. It is not entirely Honda's fault. But their fault is jacking up the price while lowering their quality. That's what making it bad value for money. It's their main downfall

Owned 1990 Civic LX, then 2001 S2000, then 2002 Accord LX, then 2005 Civic. Guess which 4 banger engine produced the most smiles. Changed oil religiously, timing belts, brakes when needed. Had over 300k on the Accord before donating to charity. Only Honda still own is a 1979 CB 750k. Wish they’d get back to doing what they used to do.

Happy Easter All: I've been lucky to own many Hondas. The last one I owned was a 2007 Odesy van that was modified to the handicapped capacity. The transmission got screwed up after the dealer did a software upgrade. Well the transmission began to fail while still in warranty & the dealers, 2 , refused to replace it. After that situation I will never own another one. Great channel Scotty. TMP from N.J.

I had a 2000 Honda Accord V6 for 20 years and it was great. Before that had leased another V6 for a few years and I loved it. No problems - except people kept trying to steal it. A few years ago I upgraded and bought a 2016 V6 and at 7-years-old in 2023 its running like a top. I confess I like Toyotas too. But I prefer the relatively luxurious interior factor of the Honda V6.

My 2004 Accord had THREE transmissions in 2 years. All paid for under warranty. I had to complain to the service manager to get the second transmissions repaired under warranty (lost second gear after ~4 months!).

They should fix their steering rack issue, seats issue, and overall reliability!!!

The quality just isn't there anymore, I totaled my 2022 Kia Forte GT and decided to go for the new Integra (similar specs both 6MT) and honestly I enjoyed the Forte way more, it was loaded with so many features that the Integra doesn't have and the overall built quality was better in the Kia. For a "luxury" brand my whole interior rattles, panel gaps, loud road noise, backup camera from 2010 and I could go on and no. I'll drive it for a while but I'll probably go back to Kia or Hyundai.

I was in the Philippines a few years ago, and rode in a beat up Toyota Vios taxi. It had almost 800,000km on it, all in heavy city stop and go traffic! They all use manual transmissions there. Amazing

Bring back a Fit-type of small hatch, as well as a pick up/unibody thats sized smaller and priced cheaper than the Ridgeline. That would definitely sell.

My Honda 2016 had a right angle camera that was amazingly clear and worked instantly if you clicked on a button on the steering wheel or if you signaled right My 2022 Honda doesn’t have it When I asked why, the dealer literally told me COST REDUCTIONS, AND A LOT OF CUSTOMERS ARE MAD about it , you are not the only one Seriously????? How much cost did Honda reduce by doing without that simple, beloved feature ? I know how much: by a lot of customer satisfaction

The first Preludes were awesome vehicles, along with the Toyota Celicas.

Cut prices and become enchanting! Others won't do if.

Coz they have closed half the dealerships in Australia, shrunk their inventory down to like 6 cars, charged more for each one. And their servicing at the Honda dealership are so bad, overcharging for the bare minimum work they do. I had my car "serviced", made me get new rear brake pads, I feel they aren't as grippy. Battery died a month after the service and two months after my aircon has stopped working.... I used to be a loyal Honda driver...now I feel my next car will not be a Honda anymore.

@zackarystewart9214 Год назад

We had the dealership show us 5 different CRVs. It just felt tinny and cheap. We ended up getting a Volkswagen Tiguan and can’t complain

Honda has been my go to since my 1986 CRX Si.

1) Somehow introduce some of the K.E.I. products here in the U. S. whether you have to put airbags on them or whatever. They're outstanding urban vehicles. 2) I had an 87 civic hatchback that got 37 in town w/ the a/c blasting, it only had vacuum lines...make them like that.

@rottenanimal619 Год назад

I had a 1990 Honda Accord with a 2.2L engine ans a manual transmission. I ran the hell out of that poor car and when I got rid of it, it had 360,000 kilometres on it. The car was falling apart but, the engine was running excellent. That poor car had a hard life.

Love my Honda Passport Elite. Please do a review on Honda Elite 2023.

@glengullickson6538 Год назад

Been driving a 2005 honda cr-v for 4 years. Regular maintenance, just two things, one of which I fixed myself for ten bucks, the other @the mechanic for $250. Happy with this car, but also wishing I had never sold either of my 2 elements!

@abrahamgarcia2171 Год назад

In Mexico is easy, Honda prices are so freaking high. They prefer to lose even the more hard core customers than lower their prices and have less revenue for some years. So I don’t know why they’re keep saying “they dont understand” I wanted a Toyota or a Honda but the time to get one and the high prices are just nuts

@FalconWing1813 Год назад

One thing I dont like is the weird square like gauges they have now on the instrument panel. Looks strange. Need ROUND / CIRCULAR Gauges. Steam gauges too, not those all digital ones either.

@isaakfaulk8067 Год назад

I think it’s because Hondas customer base is a little more higher class so when they buy the car and don’t see all the flashy bells and whistles there isn’t as much for them to compliment about the car. If they reviewed people with older Honda cars they’d probably be one of the top reviewed brands because it’s people that know what they have and it’s a rock solid car and they don’t care about the extra flash. The only reason this is the case is because car prices are through the roof. Once they reach more normal lower income people they’d see a rise again on new purchases.

@donia7331 Год назад

Very good cars. Only owned them for the past 11 years. I've needed to get a new car and they were just too pricey compared for what they offer compared to the competition. Went for a Mazda.
