Well, Hondas do now, but they apparently didn't start out that way.
I know of at least one repair shop (in TN) that used to refuse to work on
Hondas because of bad experiences they had with them in the mid 80s.
Apparently they would blow head gaskets regularly. However, I've sinced
talked to my mechanic friend from there and he informs me that apparently
Honda fixed that a long time ago.  So, as much as I hate to make the
comparison, you might compare Honda to Microsoft in that they started
out with something sucky and gradually got better and better.

Cheers,
Tanner
