We have had four Hondas in the last 24 years and maybe paid out $2000 in repairs on all of them. All of them have well over 200,000 miles on them. One has over 500,000 miles and still going. They also hold their value. One had 250,000 miles on it, was 15 years old, and sustained $1500 body damage. I figured the insurance company would just total it. Nope, they paid us the $1500 with the comment that Hondas just keep going and going and that we should just use the check as a down payment on a new one! My husband had the damage fixed, a month later hit another critter on the road and sustained the same damage! We didn't turn it in, figured the insurance company would never believe us. It was cosmetic anyway, the spoiler underneath the front of the car. (big jackrabbit hit it!) Love our Hondas!

Extreme Veteran Posts: 324	IRunOnFaith - 2017-06-09 12:40 PM 2016 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport with Eco Mode turned OFF. I get upwards of 30mpg on the highway. I run Mobil 1 full synthetic in my car and I swear it runs better. I love my car. Very roomy. Sporty looking, cheap, and it comes with a 100k mile warranty. I drive a '14 Santa Fe Sport, what does turning the Eco off do? Forgive me, I'm not very car savvy lol

Magnet for Stupid People Posts: 2775 Location: If I ever get back to Oklahoma.....	I have a 2013 Dodge Durango. I like the space and how easy it is to drive. Front end is a lot like a car and it's easy to get in and out of parking lots. It's nice to be able to seat 7 and haul stuff in the back when I don't have that many passengers. Probably only gets about 20-22 mpg. Prior to that I had a 2008 GMC Acadia. I liked the leather and two capitans chairs in the middle row and the fact it seated 7 pretty comfortably. The one we had had serious tranmission issues at 115k miles. GM fixed it but it was not right. It got hailed on a week after we'd got it out of being in the shop for dang near 2 months. Was rather disappointed with it. Apparently the 2008-2011 Acadias all had issues.. We had a 2004 Chevy Malibu that wasn't much to look at but you could get probably 30mpg on it. It was great until it wouldn't start. Probably spent $1,000 to get those issues resolved with the theft deterrent system. It'd be nice to have another "beater with a heater" to commute with.
