No they don't. I've driven manual trans. Hondas for decades and never had a very good one. They were all quite flawed. The last Honda I drove was 10th gen Civic and the 6M was notchy with pronounced rev hang. The two Mazdas I owned had superb manual transmissions. It was my poor experience with manual Honda transmissions that led me to buy an automatic Acura RSX which, ironically, is fabulous. I have 210,000 trouble-free miles on it. The 6M RSXs were plagued with transmission problems.

Have to top off the odyssey oil after 3000 miles or so because it has the cylinder deactivation system and it burns hotter from switching, but never had a problem as it is always consistent. We don't run them rough and don't have a tow package on the odyssey so no extra stress on the transmission.

Yeah, he's what saying here is that a "sports" car is NOT just any 2 seater type of car, but that it also has to sound like one, and therefore has to have a "real" sports car engine, too-but that IS subjective. Honda S2000 vs. ANY Ferrari is not a good comparison, as that Honda was obtainable by normal folks to buy, own, and continue to enjoy with minimal maintenance (in general). While the Ferrari is an "exotic", rich man's car which needs continual expensive maintenance (in general) to keep it on the road. It's not very practical for everyday folks to own and drive in either given the car's fragility, attention grabbing styling, dealership/maintenance access issues ($500 to $1000 oil changes!), and overall demeanor of a mid-engined car. It makes no sense to me for him to compare them together.

I’ve got one also, I bought mine a couple years ago with 150,000 miles, it now has 225,000 miles & still running strong, I religiously keep up with the maintenance.

For the 2008-2012, I heard that brake issues were prevalent in the V6 versions, i.e. more speed, more power=more pressure on the brakes. I bought a used 2010 Accord EX 2.4l, 4cyl with 80,000 miles, automatic transmission. So far so good. No issues. I also heard that Honda is having problems with their V6 Variable Cylinder Management in all models. I would avoid them altogether.

You’re severely misinformed on the sports car segment. Severely. The NSX uses a C30 or C32 V6. This is a motor that is unique to the NSX. It was a 90 degree V6 block, has true dohc heads and titanium connecting rods. A far cry from the j series sohc 60 degree V6. That’s why nothing from the motors are interchangeable. The s2000 uses a F20c or F22c this is an engine block that again is unique only to the s2000. This motor was developed from the earlier H series block and was never offered in any civic. Also how are you going to recommend a Ferrari 355 a car notorious for maintenance and reliability issues? Where the NSX will keep on trucking? Performances between these two cars are quite similar as well. There’s a reason why NSX prices are about on par as used 355 models. And you can’t tell the difference between a sports car whose development was influenced by Senna and a Minivan? So the tight steering input, sharp handling, great road manners, gets lost on you? I am starting to think you never been in this car. Or your driving skills are inversely proportional to your mechanical skills.

No problems after that. What was weird is that unlike the thousands of others you mentioned, never had a problem with oil burning - just the check engine light which made the vehicle idle rough until the car cooled. Did notice a little drop in highway gas mileage after the controller was installed. I mention that because I was always surprised Honda didn't offer something like that to its customer base.

A question for you, Car Wizard. You mentioned the cracked engine block problem in the 06 Civic. That engine block problem actually appeared in the 06 to early 09 Civics. But you still recommended the 07, 08, and 09 Civics. Is that because the cracked block becomes less likely to happen in the later model years, after the 06? Based on your experience, of course. Thank you for any of your experience you can add. I just bought an early 09 Civic for my son, but now I'm realizing it is in the range where the block problem could show up and I'm wondering what my chances are.

My 8th gen was very reliable for the 5 years I had it. Had to put 2 clutches in it, first one at 150K, second at 180K due to one of the springs coming loose and getting caught in the fins. Rebuilt the suspension at 195K. Got rid of it at 210K when I upgraded to a ‘23 11th gen brand new. I love my civics

All my cars have been Hondas! Love them. My 1st was a used Accord & I ran that car long & hard. Gave it to my teenage nephew when I purchased a new 2002 CR-V, 5 speed. 20 years later & it's still running strong! Purchased a used 2007 Civic with auto transmission, in 2019 & it drove like a charm until the engine block cracked just 2 months ago! So yeah, stay away from the Honda Civic 2007 models also! Learned that model engine had a manufacturer defect with the cracked engine block, just like the 2006 you mentioned.. Contacted Honda & found out the recall on this issue was extended for 10 years. Unfortunately, the recall ended in 2017 so had to junk this one.

I noticed that the models with Honda's K-series engines are mostly untouched by this list (as best I can tell) the only related notes are on the CR-Vs transmission, but I wonder if this is directed at Honda's automatic transmissions as opposed to manuals since I've never heard of any issues with honda manuals outside of rebuilding for motorsports Does your experience differ between manual or automatic transmissions?

I've owned Hondas since 1984 and have found them very reliable - except one. My 2000 Acura TL which I bought new had a factory recall on transmissions to 90K and mine went out at 94K. After a bit of dickering with Honda since I never received a recall notice, and since all maintenance until that time had been performed at the local Acura dealership at the recommended intervals, they did install a new transmission without charge which lasted until 278K. I donated it the Make a Wish foundation in McKinney, TX, and never looked back. I consider any car that goes 200K without major issues reliable. But my wife did go back to EX-L V6 Honda Accords...there simply wasn't enough difference in niceties to justify another $10K to buy a TL.

I have owned a 2006 997.1 911 and currently own an 2006 S2000. They both put a smile on my face but for pure joy, I prefer the S2000! It’s just a joy to driven. The Porsche was also way too expensive to maintain. The S2000 has been bulletproof reliable. I was a bit worried about driving it on a 2000 mile trip; I shouldn’t have. It ran perfectly and was still just a blast to drive. I plan on keeping my S2000 forever. We all have our options and I certainly respect the Wizards, but for me, the S2000 offer a truly engaged and visceral driving experience, the way a sports car should.

We bought a Certified PreOwned 2003 Pilot and the transmission gave out.....at 256,000 miles. The transmission shop was stunned that we were able to drive it to them. Very much the anomaly than the rule We have been very diligent on upkeep and maintenance.

My Toyota Sienna '05 had its trans replaced under warranty. Went 240k miles trouble free after that. I have had two Odysseys. an '01 that was very good until it got totaled (so I guess I dodged a bullet) and a '16 that I still have with 120k on the clock. The Sienna was smoother and quieter but I bought the Honda instead of another Sienna because they gave me a deal whereas the Toyota was $9k more. I really like the unvarnished opinion. Just one note: The V-6 in the Odyssey still has a timing belt.

Awesome info, I took notes for my next purchase, thanks

Here’s the thing with Honda automatic transmissions: if you change the fluid every 30k miles, then they last! Most people forget about this and makes it a hard buy in the used market.

It was caused by a design flaw - the AC hose dripped onto the subframe, and Honda fixed the issue for people who caught it earlier. I had no idea, if I had known back in 2014 when I got the car I would have been on it.

I'm glad he didn't include CRV's! I was looking for a pre-owned one so I didn't have to take my HD pickup to the store or run errands. I rode Honda motorcycles for many years. I always liked their engineering. I read that the same engineering team that did the motorcycles also do the car/van and SUV. I like the way the CRV's look and are built. 8) --gary

I have a 2014 CRV and my mom had the same one and we both had wheel bearings go out around 100k miles. Not the end of the world but something to look out for.

The 4 and 5 speed automatic problems are coupled with V6 engines. The trans can't handle the extra torque. The 4 cylinder models don't experience nearly the same issue. The Odyssey, being the heaviest vehicle, will have the most failure.

It has nothing to do with the engine. I work for Honda and as others have said almost all the automatic transmission problems are due to a lack of proper maintenance. We recommend a trans fluid flush every 40k. We've got multiple cars with well over 200k miles and no trans problems because they do the scheduled maintenance.

So hilarious the focus of this video and the cars in the background :) (we love you Car Wizard)

Bro said don't get these cars they are unreliable then said get a Ferrari for 40k lmao
