Yea, you are reading it correctly... surprised me too. Data was pulled out of J.D. Powers 2001 Initial Owners Survey results. I was only interested in comparing 'sporty' car's to quote hecash.

Wew, remind me never to make you mad. But, as usually the wheel that squeeks the louded gets the most attention --- good for you (assuming it was that bad a car).

 

So bad they rebuilt the engine 3 times and then gave up.

 

Here's a better description on the survey. I don't want folks to read too much into it but I am of the opinon that most (not all) problems show up rather quickly on most cars.

Honda needs to know that people read these posts and take them pretty damn seriously. I was in the process of ordering an "02" fully expecting the tranny issue to have been dealt with. Seems not to be the case. As much as I dig this car, I am not prepared to have a dealer give me a bunch of jive on issues that HONDA JAPAN should have dealt with in MY 01. Hey Honda, make these cars like you make VFR's and I'll have one tomorrow!
