A time frame when Honda was still an excellent manufacturer.
Actual question considering I've had no reason to look at their newer cars:
What's wrong with them now?
Build quality is lower. Parts don't last as long, and driving dynamics are worse. Also, paint and exterior finishes are prerty trash.
I've owned and driven Hondas from the 80s, 90s, 00s, and 10s, and its an easy call to say the 90s were peak. They drove nicely, were cheap to maintain, and had excellent durability/longevity.
They are still decent cars, but not excellent as they once were. Toyota/Lexus are much better in the last 20 years.
One guys opinion anyway.
Well damn.
Not that I'm planning to replace my car anytime soon, but it's sad to hear the build quality's gotten worse.
I've owned and driven multiple Hondas from those decades and still have an 00 model today as well as a modern model.
I don't disagree with the prior comment, it is true. But at the same time its only part of the entire picture. My new model drives so much better. Engine is smoother, it handles better, it's more comfortable etc... So take it all with a grain of salt. There's a flip side to every coin.
