They have 2 of the same car, a Matrix and a Vibe.
@ArmaDino22 it’s because ZR1 is nothing new on the market and there are no value at that cost. rather buy GTR hence, GTR won the COTY
i love that audi
I wonder why haven’t they included the Corvette ZR1 in the review? Would be interesting how it performs outside the track
if and only if you have warranty.. for example i had the extended warranty which was 7yrs if im not mistaking and oh well my 7 years were till last summer so if mine blow ill need to buy it, but im not so worried i still have 37k i have enough time to get into another car before that happens
aight, but if the auto goe’s out….will honda pay for it?….
4 cyl yes, i haven heard of any recalls yet.. auto v6 no.. hell no..
are the 5 speeds reliable?..in the 98-02
uh? wtf? lol
dude i did not!!!..i swear..you can call charlie if u want…hes got my back..i swear dude…gimme one more chance!
Can I just say that these people are idiots for Choosing The 1 Hyundai that no one buys because everyone knows their crap.
Well at least all the Hyundai’s that were ever sold.
One word: kaboom? LOL
they still reliable but their repair cost went up.
lol didnt know new accords actually had any problems lol.. cant believe it.. and it is supposed to be one of the most reliable car makes.. i mean im not bashing it but fuck that sucks lol!
lol, i read about them too, and i’m reading alot of complains about rear brakes on the new accords too.i hope honda looks into it and solve these problems early.
lol you forgot about 98-2002 accord v6 trannys
Motor Trend always on Japaness Cars side they never say American cars are good . a specially Toyota they allways say it is the winner sucksssssss.
what about m3??
Part of the rules.. if the car won last year it cant compete this year unless there was a redesign… or something like that.. check motortrend out.. I am sure the rules are posted somewhere.
what a random ass group of cars. no accords or camrys? gimme a break.
2000 dodge ram, 311,870 miles, and guess what, it’s just a 360.
wrong Acura in USA and Honda is in Japan
woot go nissan
Affordable? The GT-R is no Honda Fit or VW in that category… I think I’d rather have two loaded up brand new Challengers…
you are lucky you dont have a 2001-2003 honda car,because you would have changed your tranny twice
