We have had two Honda mowers. One was built in 1978 and ran without any issues until my dad took it in for a tune up three years ago and they broke the carburetor. You could not buy a carburetor for that old of a honda engine, so we had to donate that away. It was a sad day. Our other honda mower we have had for 12 years now and it starts with one pull EVERY TIME! Amazing to say the least.

........and Honda cars aren't even broken in until they go over 200k miles.
Wifey won't even think about replacing one of her Hondas until it passes 300k.
Her current (2002 Civic) has 255k. Never missed a beat, lost one sensor at about 200k - $168.00.
Daughter's 2001 Prelude is sneeking up 0n 200k. Never missed a beat, one repair outside routine maintenance - AC compressor at 165k.
My 2010 Fit DD is the new kid on the bloc at 32!!!
(We've had a Honda powered lawn tractor for eight years)

I didn't fare so well with our 97 Accord. Needed front axles at 80k and AC work too, even though I kept up with all the maintenance as if my life depended upon it.

So not all Honda cars are equally dependable.
