I'm on my 7th Hondas/Acuras and I've rarely had any issues with any of them. Here's where my current 17 Si ranks:
1. 88 Honda Accord DX hatch - Manual. Best car I ever owned. Wiped out by Hurricane Andrew 1992 but I still drove it without windows for 3 wks.
2. 96 Acura TL - Auto. 5 Cyl. Great car I probably should have kept it for 10 years instead of just 3. Definitely the best sedan I've ever been in.
3. 88 Accord LX-I sedan - Manual. I bought it used, still very nice it survived my military tours in Panama and Guam but was DONE in 97.
4. 17 Civic Si - Manual. Great car esp. considering it's a 1st year model. I bought it salvage but it was fixed up and I haven't had any problems. Fast, smooth, quiet. Gas mileage for me is about 27-28 City/33 Hiway. A giant leap forward compared to the last few gens. Infotainment is the one huge weakness.
5. 03 Acura TL - Auto. Really not as good as my 96 TL. An overall letdown but this was when I was buying a different used car every year or two.
6. 90 Prelude. Auto w/4 wheel steering. I bought this when I was stationed in Tokyo for $2700 in 1997. It was very small but that was a good thing in Tokyo. Terrible gas mileage but I rarely went very far.
7.00 Honda Civic Si - Manual. Way too small for me at age 34, felt like a tin can. Thankfully Fast and the Furious came out and someone stole this Civic(twice lol!) as it was a young man's car IMHO.
