This car is as reliable as they come - it is after all expected of a Honda. Over the same period I bought two other brand new Honda's - a Pilot Touring and Odyssey Touring - from the same dealer. Never had a problem with it and the ride is the same today as it was when I first brought it out from the dealership. This car compares favorably with a similar type, much more expensive, German import (like the one I am currently using).
