And i will never buy an Explorer. I wasn’t saying all Hondas are junk. I was saying that they can break, just like any other car. People seem to think that Hondas are perfect machines that never break, and that is far from the truth. MY particular ownership experience s with them put them at mediocre reliability, but i am sure others have had better experiences. Just like one of my salesmen who traded in his Explorer with 152K on it, with the original engine and tranny, still running fine. But, considering your username and sig, i would expect you to be a bit biased towards Hondas…LOL. That’s fine, we all drive and buy what we like. I just happen to like almost everything (except pickups) --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/theres-a-new-name-atop-the-big-3-manufacturers/197678)._
