Hondas and Toyotas for us for 30+ years

Bought a new Corolla in '91, owned it 15 years, drove it probably 150k before giving it to someone. Bought an Odyssey new in '04 and still have it - 252k and counting (replaced the transmission about 6 years ago but that's the only major repair). Bought a '10 Tacoma in 2020 with 152k on it - now 242k and running strong. Wife is considering a Pilot when the Odyssey finally dies but who knows when that will be. My one other purchase was a '99 Grand Prix - it was a lease and we had to replace the transmission at about 50k, but otherwise I absolutely loved that car.

you couldn't give me a Tacoma. Rented one and brother has one. They can't

Sounds like you rented one with a 4 cylinder.

TSO has a 2013 Prius, I have a 2017 Accord. Both stalwart and reliable.

It took 2 different Subarus for us to ban them forever. Hondas since 1977

CVTs were a disaster, but everyone's CVTs were, right?
