Has Honda lost it's prestige?
Has Honda lost it's prestige? - 1
Added (1). It looks like Nissan took over Honda's popularity.
Added (2). Hyundai also stepped up in the competition.
Not that I know of! It's still one of the best cars out there by far.
May be!
Point?
I wouldn't say Honda ever had "prestige"; rather they had developed a rock solid reputation for building excellent economy cars that bordered on indestructible. They have had a few problems in recent years but still have a very good reputation.
Nissan have never had an outstanding record for quality; my friend's 350z is a bigger headache than my Mercedes. Some of their cars are nice looking but I wouldn't put them on the same level as Honda.
Hyundai has improved leaps and bounds in the past decade. They used to be a laughing stock, but have transformed into a solid and well built brand that is capable of challenging Honda and Toyota in dominating the midsize and economy markets. It will be interesting to see how much better they get and how they will be positioned in the future relative to Honda.
- Our 2006 honda odyssey lost acceleration/power and was towed? Was towed. On first start now, it starts for 1 second and immediately turns off. On second start, it only whines like a flooding sound. The engine light is on. The van is stranded. Please let me know where to start. What do these symptoms mean? What are the signs of a bad egr valve? It it air or fuel intake? Spark plugs are fairly new. Starter is fairly new. Our budget is very small.
- My honda 2001 honda 400ex started smoking and lost alot of power? It smokes pretty badly like a 2 stroke and doesn't have power like it used to. Could it just be the head gasket it does have a litte oil around it? Or could it be more serious valves and rings?
- Should I buy a 2008 honda civic ex-l that has 100000 miles or a honda civic lx that has 82k miles? The honda civic ex-l has only one owner and the honda civic lx is from a dealer. They're fairly the same price
- Lost right front headlight and housing in recent accident for a 2004 Honda Civic. All bulbs intact? Complete housing destroyed including reflector. How much will it cost me to have it replaced at a body shop.
