Most people would agree that a Honda engine requires very little repairs. In fact, you're the first person I've ever heard that doesn't swear by the reliability of Hondas.

My opinion is that these engines are designed to be throw away engines. There are a lot of flaws in these engines that just shouldn't be there, and apparently, won't ever be changed.
