seems retarded! | No, the odometer stopped at 999,999 km's but the trip meter is still working. He manually switched it to mph mode to show that the odometer is still working.

My dad's car is an '04 and is close to 480,000 clicks and runs fine. Of course there's wear and tear stuff but it's been a great car for its mileage.
It all depends on the owner's care for the car, and of course luck is involved as well

my '90 civic hb just passed 290,000km 
if it weren't for my messing around (heh) the original engine would have lasted past 300,000km no problem whatsoever.

i've seen lots of european manufactureres like Mercedes and BMW that are still running their original batteries.
My 95' 5 series had the original battery until 4 years ago.
My friends 96' 3 series still has the original battery.
I'm actually quite surprised because while working at a shop, the most common battery replacements are honda's (some models use VERY small batteries).
Good to hear yours is still doing well, honda makes great cars.

I love Honda! 
PS. I'm also still on my original battery. | Funny you should mention that. I actually got two compliments the past two days on my '03 Accord from random people (guys, sadly  ) lol
However, I've had a shit load of problems with it. Second gear grenaded and destroyed half the transmission when the broken shards damaged the syncros, radio/HVAC control unit replaced twice, door locks stopped working, serp belt snapped, clutch pedal squeals like a stuck pig even after lubrication, shocks blew at 90k (which, I suppose, is "normal"), etc.
The sad thing is that this is the first car that I've tried to keep mechanically stock for as long as possible. Usually shit goes wrong once I start modifying it... not this time, though.

I would say that the mid-80s to the late 90s was more or less the peak for Honda in terms of reliability.
I had an early 90s Integra for 10 years and it was fairly solid aside from a main fuel relay and brake master cylinder. They're actually very hard to "kill" unless you fail to replace the timing belt - usually rust gets to them first. Posted via RS Mobile | |
