Hi Guys,
I am sure this below You tube video of Joe will make all honda accord owners happy. This joe guy is reaching 1million mile in his 1990 accord which is close to 1.6million kilometers.. This is call honda reliability. Hope our accord Euro will reach the same :)

That's amazing!
I've had two '91 CB7s.. 380,000kms and 290,000.. No issues whatsoever! Awesome reliable car, drive like they're brand new
And now my F22A Motor just reset to 0kms.. =)
thanks jack.. Hope my brand new accord euro cu2 2010 model will last like that :)Quote:

D; holy shit, I hope my cu2 will last like that as well lol...still got a fair way to go D: took me nearly 8months to break the 10,000km lol
I hope my Euro will last thaT Well,it probably will,but I dont keep my cars that long.
I have just done 15600 kilometers in 13 months,not a lot at all so far...but more than Raja.
Japanese quality!
My father in law has had a few Hiluxes that have gone around the clock.
How about Mercedes or BMW engine. how many km those will last. I normally heard german built engines robust..they are firm engine..
but now seems jap car engine seems more reliable
its all about how you look after them Praj mate. Keep the oil up to them, and don't flog the crap out of them, and they'll last for ever!Quote:

Yep Japan =)Quote:

F22A Engines will handle more boost as standard, and make the highest % (Increase from stock) power gains PER MOD/DOLLAR than any other Honda engine.
Who wouldn't want one? Low compression, high flowing head (The best out of all the F, B, D, K and H series IIRC) Can't go wrong =P
Doublepost.. Oops =P
Old Honda motors will go that far. Highly doubt the new ones will.
Wht should the new ones not be as good ???Quote:

Result? more things will go wrong.
I do agree with fredoops, the more the complex engine more problems may occur.... However i don't think honda would compromise reliability of the engine and i am sure the current engine will atleast last close to the previous models engines.
My old 82 Accord was still going great guns at 350,000 when I sold it a few years back.
IMO, Toyota's are the most reliable brand even vs. Honda.
German cars are crap, I guess it's more electronic related though. Buy a 10 year old 7 series or S class and when the electronics start to malfunction you're in for a lot of cash.
Buy a 3 series or C class and it should be okay (Though people only buy these series car for the "rich status" associated with the badge).
Lexus in my opinion is superior to all German Luxury brands. Although, there are a few cars that look like complete rip offs of there Toyota counterpart, eg ES300 = Camry, LX570 = Land Cruiser.
SC400 = Soarer, etc.. That's just how it's meant to be I CU2.
Toyotas can be abused, blow smoke, sound like they're falling apart.. And still NEVER let you down.. I love my Toyota powered Suzuki Sierra =P
Honda is more of a "if you look after it, in 20 yrs time it will feel like you just rolled out of the showroom." kinda deal.
And people will say, "But if you look after any car!" no, most cars just wear out and die.. Regardless of upkeep.
2JZ = Alot of people proclaim this to be the most reliable engine ever?Quote:

This is an awesome video... My parents have a run about/Shopping CB7 and currently on the clock its got 480k on it and its still going strong... how ever there are rust spots starting to appear... pretty good for an 21yo car
although Toyota and Lexus are "bulletproof" they lack the soul that honda's have... to me Toyotas are boring to look and too much plastic fantastic inside...
SC400 is a V8 Lexus, with a 4L 1UZFE Engine iirc.Quote:

The 2JZ is far from the most reliable engine ever, it is however capable of handling more power/boost increases than almost any other standard motor.
Sadly the gains aren't very good in $ per KW value compared with the rival Nissan 6's.
