When I got married in 2003, I asked my wife for all her repair
receipts for her 1995 Honda Civic. I had mine all filed in my
cabinet, over $10,000 worth for my 1992 car that is NOT a Honda. I
wanted to file hers also, just to be organized. She stated that she
never had her car repaired, so she didn't have any receipts. Of
coarse she did her regular maintenance, however that was done by a
family member, so there were no receipts either. I was shocked. For
the next 3 years until 2006, there still wasn't anything repaired in
her car. (The car was repainted in 2005, however that was only for
cosmetics.) Finally in 2007, the car had her first repair. The
radiator and the distributor cap was replaced. My wife's 12 year old
Honda still only had a few hundred dollar worth of repairs. Her
mileage is low, only 90,000, however, I'm still shocked at the minimal
repairs the car went through.

So the reason I say, that I'M NEVER GOING BY ANOTHER HONDA again isn't
because I don't like Honda's. It's because I don't believe in
replacing something that isn't broken. At the rate this 1995 Honda
Civic is going, it's never going to die.

P.S. There's only one company that makes cars: Honda. The rest only
make prototypes.
