Hondas sling rods when you think it's a racecar and rice around town for a year w/ low oil pressure.

The average consumer knows little about this as "we" do -- -b/c we beat the piss out of them. The Civic is one of the most reliable cars every -- and continues to be. Honda and Toyota are FAMOUS for reliability. A car is NOT "just" a car - especially the flaghip models... ask a GM driver.
