I love my honda's also. I watched a video of Skunk works and they were working on a Mitsu EVO engine, as "the professor" at skunk works was putting the engine back together he was shaking different parts and laughing as he said, "Never would a Honda engine have all this unbalanced play." Honda is a great built car. But you are so right about Honda and their new direction, WTF happened to the Prelude, S2000, Acura NSX, I mean real driver oriented cars. That is why I am driving a G 6MT now. I love my g, although I could do with a Getrag 6 speed rather than this POS of a tranny nissan put in the G/Z.

Had a 2004 Mazda6s 5dr, and at 115k the vvt system started crapping out. Pretty much trashed the engine.

2007 G35x is way better minus fuel economy and the insane amounts of storage space the mazda had..

Like some others, I too love my Hondas. Had a 1999 for about 10 years and got my G35S 6mt. Big upgrade for me.

My very first car was a 92 EG hatch. Then I started driving a 2009 Audi A4, that was fun. Now I have my G. :]
