I perfer Hondas. They last till they die I had a honda Civic hatchback 89 I loved that thing it needed a new transsmision as well as other work major work the guy befor me beat the hell out of it. When I came down to change the fuel pump and the oil tune up I put nothing but the best in it. when I bought it for $600 it lasted me for 2.5 years. I was driving down 95 in Jacsonville for 8 hours the with no exit in site car was over heating and when I finally got off the exit the car was smoking mor than a chimeny in the winter. Still the car drove for a few more weeks. I had to see her to a friend he had the money to fix it I was not a rich person and for everything that need to be fixed on It I needed at least $6000 for a good transmission and everything else. THe guy after me turned it into a stick shift from an automatic put a cool are intake and a new transmissin then turned it into a racing car. it was an 89 I new she had potental just could not afford to do what I wanted due to funds. THat was 2.5 years ago. I also had bought my husband a 93 civic hatch. bought it 4 months after i have it still to this day and I have no problems besides the normal wear and tear. so I would go for hond it will never let you down even changing the distributor and changeing the timeing belt and timeing it was not that hard for aa girl yes I did it no experience as a mehanic but I love my cars and now Im Into bikes. Good luck on your search.. peace out dude
