Are Hondas good cars?

What about an early 00s one?

1970 are the best ones

Depends on the year. Look on Car Complaints and you'll see that some Honda Accords and Civics from early 2000s are under the worst vehicles list for problems. A lot of people think Hondas are all so great and reliable but that can be FAR from the case! If you look at the best vehicles list, you'll see that Toyota has the most options to pick from. Heck, even a bunch of Volkswagens are on that list!

The older any car is, the more likely its not "good".

But honda generally, is good.

Dear Clueless. Honda has a reputation for making reliable vehicles and they have made "good" cars for over 50 years, but the only way to determine if any used car is "good" (especially one that old) is to thoroughly inspect and test its mechanical condition in person. You obviously lack the knowledge and experience to do that, so find or hire someone who does. Never take a sellers word for anything unless they have documentation to back it up.

Always have been.

Hi so too old like all modern cars designed to last 7 years beyond which it should be a heap of steel to make new beer cans.

Bad automatic transmissions.

Yes Honda makes a good car. But what makes a good used car is not who made it, it's how well the previous owners took care of it.

A well cared for car is a good used car. An abused and neglected car regardless of who built it won't be.
