Well, I had a 96 Accord before this car, and it was great, nothing was wrong with. So after that one hit 150k, I decided to move to the V6 model for the extra features.
I bought the V6 model - it had 75k and by the time it had 100k, the SRS sensor went bad, which I have to pay $1000 to fix. Also my cylinder head got burned from normal driving, so I had to pay $2000 to fix, and now it has 150k and I am worried that this car might have more problems.
I am done with Honda cars. Now I am thinking of moving to a Lexus - they are more comfortable and I personally think more reliable. It's worth the money.
Except when your water pump goes out on that Lex it will cost you 2 G's at the dealer.
Go ahead with the Lexus. They are as good as any other car out there, better than BMW or Mercedes, I feel. And a lot of newer cars cost a lot to fix anyway. A friend of mine paid several hundred dollars to replace the water pump on his Escort (!). On my Toyota pickup I paid $35...
It's probably more to do with labour cost, to be honest.
The water pump for my MX-6 cost £44 but I know for a fact that a Mazda dealer will charge around £500 to replace it because of the amount of disassembly required.
