Not surprising really, but still kind of neat.

The link is to a "retained value" not "reliability" cnn link.
I'm not sure it is as "reliable" as they once were. Uncle has a 2004 Accord that is a problem and a 2004 MDX too. But retained value..yes.

You're right, I guess I used the wrong word, but to me they sort of go hand in hand. If the car is reliable and doesn't break as often as others it will retain it's value. I have ADD sometimes and forget what I'm doing and write the first thing that comes to my mind. I apologize :D

Well...yeah, but the way they get so much fuel economy from a BIG OL V8 is what impresses me more than a hybr that is designed to get better fuel economy. But, OK...Chevy for sports car fuel economy and HONDA/Toyota for normal car fuel economy

I've heard the opposite. Honda "did" have the best reliability...but in the past 5 or 6 years its been dropping like a rock. The old car's are rocks...the new ones are meh.
Naaa, I have not heard about any problems with their engines. You know what...other car companies need to drop their ego's and see WHY Honda engines are so GREAT, I know I would like to know.

Nah I've checked the link, I've just seen reports to the contrary from other sites...including consumer reports. Remember can't ever look at one site for all the info...gotta throw them all together and look at it as a whole to cancel out possible bias. To get a better overall picture, look at all their ATX problems across the Acura and Honda line. MTX's don't seem to have any issues however.
Just gotta hitup the forums to see all the recall sticky's and failures .
Wait...was does this discussion say reliability and the link say best retained value. I'm so confused now. Someone change the damn topic .

humm... their reliablity dropping in the past 5 or 6 so year... isn't that when the americans want to take over everything? owning honda? u KNOW honda's r built by americans now a days... so i guess when they were good/reliable... it was when they were built by Japanese... just like the RX-8.... Built by Japanese...

RX REnesis,
It isn't. The 3 has NAV and HID's...which are only available on Japan built mazda vehicles. The Mazda 6 is built in the US, and thus doesn't have NAV or HID's, because of union issues.
Its possible that HID/NAV 3's are built in japan, and non HID/NAV 3's are built in the US...but I'm pretty sure they're all coming from Japan.
The MPS 6 is built in Tofu, Japan, and thus will have available NAV and HID's.

As good as Honda is...they actually have consistently had more problems per 100 cars than lexus, infinity, and toyota for the last six years according to consumer reports. So maybe look to lexus for customer *** kissing and reliability. Plus there resale is very high also...especially the SUVs.
