What kind of specific engine troubles are you referring to? As far as I know, this is purely a false statement.

Since they are mechanical devices, ALL cars produced in any volume will have quality control problems - including ones with the engine. On average, I'd say that Honda engines are much more reliable than other brands.

Have some people experienced problems with the F20C? Yes. Is there some inherent flaw in the design of the engine that will result in many people experiencing engine failure? No.

The car is a heap of shit. Dont bother buying one. We are all getting rid of ours and shutting the site down.
